Chapter 297 The Third Prince's Revenge
Xie Yao watched Xiao Ji's carriage leave before turning back to the main courtyard.
The main courtyard, which was lively and warm just now, became cold and deserted at this moment, but Xie Yao felt warm in her heart because of Xiao Ji's words just now, and she did not feel lonely even when staying in the room alone.
"Princess Consort, the water is ready." Zhu Qing came in to report and helped Xie Yao take a bath.
Xie Yao soaked in the warm water. Zhu Qing wiped her body and said, "Congratulations, Crown Princess."
They naturally listened to what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said today. The Crown Princess has enjoyed the good life these days, but she feels bitter in her heart.
Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has finally expressed his stance, she is happy for her own Crown Princess, and feels that the clouds have finally cleared and the moon has appeared.
Xie Yao thought for a moment and said, "Today is certainly a good start, but no matter when, I will never place all my hopes on another person."
She said this to tell Zhuqing not to rely on others.
"People's hearts are changeable. I believe everything Your Highness said today." When mentioning Xiao Ji, Xie Yao's tone was much softer. "I believe Your Highness's promise today is sincere, but even if Your Highness changes one day, I will still be myself."
Just like this period of time.
Xiao Ji lost his previous memory and didn't even remember her as his wife.
Xie Yao was also sad about this, but she continued to live. Xiao Ji's amnesia did not bring her world down.
Zhu Qing understood the meaning of Xie Yao's instruction and said thoughtfully, "Crown Princess, I understand."
"Get up." Xie Yao stood up, "There are still some important things to deal with."
Xie Yao sat back in the main room, Zhu Qing and Yu Yan were busy wiping Xie Yao's hair. At the same time, Zhu Qing reported what Xie Yao asked her to investigate today.
"Crown Princess." Zhu Qing handed a booklet to Xie Yao, "This is the list of people who spread rumors in the capital."
Xie Yao took it and looked at the names, her eyes darkened. There were quite a few people on the list, and...she saw a few familiar faces on the list.
Xuanshu.
Xie Yao pointed her finger at her name, "Xuan Yue's sister?"
"Yes." Zhu Qing whispered, "I asked someone to check. I heard that the second young lady of the Xuan family was saved by the Marquis of Zhenbei once in her early years. Since then, she has admired the Marquis of Zhenbei wholeheartedly."
"However, the Marquis of Zhenbei had been in Northern Xinjiang in the early years, and everyone knew that the eldest princess wanted to marry him, so Miss Xuan didn't dare to show it."
"After the eldest princess married Hu Yanyuan, the second young lady of the Xuan family did appear in front of the Marquis of Zhenbei a few times, but the Marquis of Zhenbei did not take it seriously."
Xie Yao felt annoyed when she heard this.
Using such means...it seems that the Second Miss Xuan has inherited the true teachings of Grand Tutor Xuan!
Another acquaintance is Xie Yuru.
Xie Yao's finger fell on the three words "Xie Yuru" again, "It seems that she has been very free recently?"
She thought that after what happened last time, Xiao Hong would definitely not let Xie Yuru go, but now it seems... she was wrong.
Xie Yuru may not be good at other things, but she is good at coaxing people.
Zhu Qing said hurriedly, "Second Young Master Xiao was indeed very angry last time and almost made Miss Three miscarry, but I don't know what method Miss Three used, but in the end she was safe and sound."
"However, Miss Lin has successfully reached the side of Second Young Master Xiao."
Xie Yao raised her eyebrows, "She is quite good."
She just asked Zhu Qing to help Lin Shuang to change her identity, but did not send her directly to Xiao Hong.
It has only been a few days and Lin Shuang was able to do it on her own, which is really great.
At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and Si Bei's voice came from outside the courtyard, "Crown Princess, something happened."
"The Third Prince has broken into the Heavenly Prison!"
Xie Yao: “???”
Is Xiao An crazy?
She immediately asked, "Can someone send a message to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about this?"
Si Bei said: "In reply to the Crown Princess, I have sent someone to go, but the palace gates are now locked, so I'm afraid it will take some time for Your Highness to arrive."
"Prepare the carriage." Xie Yao did not hesitate. After ordering the carriage to be prepared, she asked Zhu Qing to change her clothes and then took the carriage straight to the Heavenly Prison.
After they left the room, Xie Yao asked, "The prison is heavily guarded, how could Xiao An get in?"
Si Bei said: "The Heavenly Prison is indeed heavily guarded, but the guards dare not really hurt His Majesty the Third Prince."
Well, Xie Yao probably understood what was going on.
As long as Xiao An is desperate enough, the guards will not be able to stop him. After all, Xiao An is of noble status and no one dares to really hurt him for fear of not being able to take responsibility.
"Go and stop him immediately." Xie Yao said, "Xiao Ning cannot die."
At least not now.
Xiao Ning has a special identity. In addition to being the eldest princess of the Xia Kingdom, she is also the consort of the third prince of the Northern Frontier.
If Xiao Ning died at this time, the Northern Territory would immediately be in chaos.
Xie Yao was naturally not afraid of fighting, but the people of two cities in Xia State were still in the hands of Northern Frontier.
Xie Yao couldn't gamble with their lives.
"Yes." Upon hearing this, Si Bei immediately rushed towards the sky prison.
Although Si Bei was very fast, he still arrived a little late. When Xie Yao arrived, Xiao An had already been controlled. It was Si Bei who was holding Xiao An, but he was still struggling, "You dog slave, let me go!"
"Who do you think you are? How dare you stop me? I will kill you!"
Xiao An was shouting wildly, and he looked like he had drunk fake alcohol. He looked insane, and there was blood on his clothes.
Xie Yao's eyes darkened and she said directly: "Shut his mouth first." They were going to stop arguing.
Then he asked, "How is the princess?"
Si Bei's expression was a little strange and stiff, and he said: "Princess... the injury is a little serious, but her life is not in danger."
Xie Yao let out a long sigh.
As long as you don't die, it's fine.
"Ask a doctor to treat the princess immediately." After Xie Yao said this, Xiao An looked at her with angry and resentful eyes.
He opened his mouth to curse, but his mouth was blocked by a piece of cloth, veins on his forehead were bulging, and he could only make "mmm" sounds.
"Crown Princess." Si Nan said with some embarrassment, "The princess's injury..."
Xie Yao heard something wrong in Si Bei's words and gave Zhu Qing a look. Zhu Qing immediately rushed to where Xiao Ning was to confirm Xiao Ning's condition.
Not long after, Zhu Qing came out with an ugly and stiff expression on his face, and whispered something into Xie Yao's ear.
Xie Yao's face changed drastically and she immediately walked inside.
Xiao Ning was still imprisoned in the Sky Prison. Because it was the emperor's order, no one dared to release her even if Xiao Ning was injured.
Xiao Ning was lying on the bed in the cell, and was losing his temper at the moment, "Get out! Get out now!"
When Xiao Ning saw Xie Yao, hatred burst out of his eyes, "It's you, you did it on purpose!"
Xie Yao had just threatened her with Xiao An today, and Xiao An came in the evening...
"Do you believe that I will kill Zhao Ying and make sure you will never see her again!" Xiao Ning's expression was a little broken.
Her life was safe at the moment, but her body was covered in blood.
Because the first thing Xiao An did when he broke into the Sky Prison was not to take her life, but to cut off her breast with a knife!
"I'm still waiting for the letter." Xie Yao said directly to Xiao Ning.
"Crown Princess." Yuyan walked in from outside, "The doctor is here."
"Get lost!" Xiao Ning yelled, "Let him get lost!"
Xiao An hurt her so much today, it was a devastating blow to her. She was a playboy by nature, and had countless lovers. In addition to her identity, she was also very confident in her charm.
But Xiao An actually dared to treat her like this!
"Get out! All of you get out!" Xiao An yelled directly at Xie Yao: "All of you get out!"
Xie Yao did not argue with Xiao Ning, but just said: "I will ask someone to invite a female doctor."
Then he retreated calmly.
Even if Xiao Ning encountered such a disaster, she believed that Xiao Ning knew what to do. Xiao Ning had great ambitions in his heart and would not be easily defeated by this difficulty.
When Xie Yao left the Heavenly Prison, Xiao Ji had already arrived.
He had obviously rushed over as well, and asked Xie Yao very naturally, "How is it?" He was obviously asking about Xiao Ning's situation.
Xie Yao felt that it was hard to put it into words, so she finally put it simply, "It can be considered as... giving someone a taste of their own medicine."
Although Xiao Ji didn't know exactly what Xiao An had done, he understood the meaning behind Xie Yao's words.
His expression immediately became the same as Xie Yao's.
As a man, it was not convenient for him to go in and visit Xiao Ning when he was injured like this. Xie Yao said again: "I have asked someone to invite a female doctor."
She didn't say it explicitly, but her eyes told her that she believed Xiao Ning would make the right decision.
So there is no need to worry about Xiao Ning's life.
Xiao Ji nodded in understanding, and his eyes fell on Xiao An.
Xiao An was gagged, and he was still jumping up and down until now. Who the hell is Xie Yao! She was just lucky enough to marry Xiao Ji and become the Crown Princess, but she dared to treat him like this!
And this damned dog slave...
Meeting Xiao Ji's cold and indifferent eyes, Xiao An froze for a moment, as if a basin of cold water had fallen from the sky, chilling him to the bone.
The thoughts in his mind were instantly blocked and he dared not think about them anymore.
Xiao Ji...well, so scary.
But soon, Xiao An turned fearless again. He did it, so what? !
Xiao Ning touched him, but Xiao Ji protected her and didn't punish her.
Since that was the case, he would retaliate. He didn't believe that Xiao Ji would dare to favor one over the other and do anything to him!
As expected, Xiao Ji said, "Send the Third Prince back to the Third Prince's Mansion and put him under house arrest from now on. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my order."
Xiao An snorted lightly, and was taken away from the prison as if he had expected it.
Soon, the female doctor that Xie Yao had someone find arrived.
This time, Xiao Ning was quiet, and there was no more roaring sound. It was obvious that Xiao Ning had made a decision.
After all, Xiao Ning was seriously injured, so Xie Yao and Xiao Ji did not leave quickly, but waited for treatment before asking about the situation.
The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were both there, and the guards of the Heavenly Prison were all silent and kneeling on the ground.
They didn't dare to really hurt the Third Prince, but who could have imagined that after the Third Prince came alone and broke into the Heavenly Prison, there would suddenly be so many people behind him who directly blocked them.
By the time they wanted to save the princess again, it was too late.
They knew at that time that the Third Prince had planned it all along and had taken them all into account, but there was nothing they could do; now they had to bear all the consequences.
"I failed to provide adequate protection. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Everyone had only one thought in their mind at this moment: death, definitely death this time, they just hoped that this incident would not implicate their family members.
Xiao Ji looked at the guards kneeling on the ground, his cold eyes devoid of any extra emotions.
These people were indeed incompetent. They were so afraid of hurting Xiao An that they even neglected their own duties.
but……
"Since you can't do such a trivial task as guarding the Heavenly Prison, you will all be sent to the northern border to join the army." Xiao Ji said, "Leave immediately."
As soon as these words were spoken, the guards looked at each other in bewilderment. Before they had time to rejoice at having survived the calamity, they were filled with fear for the future.
The North...
It was remote and dangerous, a completely unfamiliar environment for them, and it was also dangerous to go to the battlefield.
The guards looked at each other, bewildered.
The captain on duty at the prison today seemed to understand something and immediately said, "Yes, sir!"
After everyone left, Xie Yao looked at Xiao Ji deeply.
After dealing with Xiao An and the guards, a maid finally came out of the prison, "Your Highness, Crown Princess."
"The female doctor has stopped the princess's bleeding."
Xie Yao and Xiao Ji looked at each other, and they both walked towards the sky prison at the same time.
Xiao Ning's cell had been separated by curtains, but the strong smell of blood was still overwhelming.
"Princess, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have arrived." The maid said to Xiao Ning in the cell.
"Kill him, kill him!" Xiao Ning's voice was filled with hatred, "Kill Xiao An!"
How dare that wicked bastard born by that slave girl treat her like this? Damn it, damn it!
"I have had him confined to his room, and will decide the matter after my father wakes up." Xiao Ji said in a steady voice.
"Are you crazy?!" Xiao Ning's sharp voice sounded, "House arrest? He hurt me so much, and you just put me under house arrest?"
At this moment, Xiao Ning even forgot about the identity of Crown Prince Xiao Ji, and his voice was full of disbelief.
Crazy, Xiao Ji is really crazy!
Xiao Ning was about to explode, but Xiao Ji's eyes were calm, and he only said: "A few days ago, Xiao An produced the evidence of you harming him last time, and I didn't punish you."
"The matter between you will be decided by your father after he wakes up." Xiao Ji felt that he was being fair.
"How are they the same?!" Xiao Ning asked subconsciously, and then reacted and denied it, "I didn't do it. He forged the evidence. I didn't harm him."
The crime of leaving limbs mutilated is quite serious.
Xiao Ning had ambitious plans, so naturally he was unwilling to bear such a crime.
Xiao Ji was not annoyed, but said in a cold voice: "Whether it was you who did it or not, father will judge when he wakes up."
Xiao Ning became even angrier.
Father, father, I only know father. Xiao Ji really took on the responsibility of regent in vain. If it were her...
etc.
Xiao Ning's originally angry eyes suddenly calmed down. She looked in the direction where Xiao Ji's voice came from outside the curtain, her eyes full of suspicion.
It's been several days, how come Xiao Ji's voice... is still so powerful?
Her people haven't taken action yet?
A bunch of trash!
"You have indeed been wronged by what happened today. You should take good care of your body first." After Xiao Ji said this, he was about to leave.
Xiao Ning shifted her attention back and looked in the direction of Xiao Ji with a cold gaze, waiting until the footsteps completely disappeared.
Xiao Ji wants to protect that bastard Xiao An?
It doesn’t matter, she can take revenge herself!
