Chapter 299 Brother, You Smell So Good
Prince's Mansion.
Xie Yao had naturally heard such rumors, and this incident even overshadowed the news of the disappearance of the Zhenbei Marquis's fiancée.
After all, it concerns the lower three roads, so it always attracts more attention.
Zhao Ying's is just a reputation, but today's rumors are very detailed, even what was cut off is clearly stated.
This matter was of great importance, so Zhu Qing directly woke up Xie Yao who had just fallen asleep.
Xie Yao stood up and rubbed her temples with her hand, feeling her head buzzing. Xiao An and Xiao Ning...can't they just give me some peace of mind?
Only a fool like Xiao An could do such a thing as hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting oneself by a thousand.
More importantly, Xiao An's reckless attitude of wanting to die together with her partner will affect her search for Sister Ying.
Something that is capable of causing trouble but is incapable of accomplishing anything.
Xiao An, who was scolded by Xie Yao, was celebrating in the Third Prince's mansion at this moment.
There were only his guards in front of him. He laughed loudly and said, "I have finally taken revenge!"
"That bitch Xiao Ning, has also felt my pain!"
But...it's not enough!
Not enough!
It was all because that dog slave from the Prince’s Mansion came too quickly. He had other plans for revenge.
Xiao Ning, a woman, had no idea what his loss meant!
The guard was a little worried, "Third Prince, although this is revenge, I'm afraid the eldest princess will not let it go..."
"Humph!" Xiao An sneered, "Don't forget, I am under house arrest now. I am under the protection of the Jinwu Guards. She can't come in."
"Besides, it's still unknown whether she can leave the prison on her own!"
If Xiao Ji doesn't help him get revenge, then don't even think about helping Xiao Ning do anything now!
Xiao An picked up the jar of wine and drank it all in one gulp, "I am not afraid."
As he spoke, he said to the guard, "Drink, you drink too! In this palace, I will not be in any danger! No one can come in."
The guard refused at first, but after Xiao An scolded him, the guard had to obey.
After drinking a few bottles of wine, Xiao An suddenly felt that something was wrong. Why... was he feeling hot all over?
Xiao An is very familiar with this feeling!
He had women before, but... he is no longer able to do that now.
Xiao An felt that his thoughts were starting to slow down, but he belatedly realized one thing: someone had drugged the wine!
And it's that kind of medicine.
The drug was obviously very effective. After a moment, Xiao An's entire body turned red and his eyes became blurry. However, he still forced himself to remain calm and shouted, "Someone come!"
Bang!
At this moment, the door was suddenly closed from the outside, followed by the sound of locking, and then the window...
It wasn't just one person, but everyone moved together.
When did there become so many spies in his house?
This thought flashed through Xiao An's mind, and he immediately wanted to kick the door and call for help. The guard knew some martial arts, drank less alcohol than Xiao An, and was more sober at the moment.
They both pulled the door together.
Xiao An was still cursing, but gradually, his voice became lower.
His eyes involuntarily fell on the guard beside him. His eyes were blurred and he inexplicably felt that the person in front of him was handsome.
The guard was pulling at the door when he suddenly felt his shoulders sink. He immediately said, "Your Highness, hold on!"
But the next moment, the guard felt something was wrong...
Xiao An hung his entire body on him, his hot breath spraying on his ears, giving him goose bumps all over his body.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
The guard's face changed drastically. He looked at Xiao An in disbelief, his throat rolling.
Xiao An hugged the guard's neck with both hands, rubbing his whole body against him, and kept saying, "Beauty...you smell so good..."
…
Prince's Mansion.
Xie Yao knew about Xiao An's rumor spreading, but she didn't do anything. But soon after she had breakfast, Zhao Hao and Cheng Fengqi came in a hurry.
Zhao Hao was holding a letter in his hand. He quickly handed it to Xie Yao and said, "Crown Princess, this is a letter that someone just handed to me. I opened it and read it... It's my sister's handwriting!"
After confirming that it was his elder sister's handwriting, Zhao Hao immediately realized that Xie Yao might have done something, so he hurried to the Prince's Mansion with Cheng Fengqi, fearing that he would delay important matters.
When Xie Yao took the letter, she naturally recognized that it was indeed Sister Ying's handwriting.
Xie Yao studied the letter carefully. Zhao Hao and Cheng Fengqi looked at each other, both very anxious. Although they were both very curious about what Xie Yao could see in this letter that they had already studied, neither of them dared to speak out to disturb Xie Yao at this moment.
For fear of distracting Xie Yao's attention, he could only stare at Xie Yao with an anxious and longing look on his face.
It took a long time for Xie Yao to put down the letter.
Zhao Hao immediately asked: "Cousin, what did my sister say in the letter?"
Xie Yao glanced at him and said, "Didn't you read the letter?"
Zhao Hao: “…”
He was a little anxious, "No other information?"
"It's not in the letter." Xie Yao shook her head. After all, the contents of the letter were all specified by Xiao Ning, and the secret communication method she and Sister Ying used was useless.
Zhao Hao's expectant look dimmed in an instant.
Cheng Fengqi's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "The Crown Princess said that it's not in the letter, so is there any clue somewhere else?"
Xie Yao raised her lips and looked at Cheng Fengqi with appreciation. She picked up the letter and put it to her nose and sniffed it gently, "It has the scent of osmanthus."
Osmanthus has a long lasting fragrance and a rich and unique flavor.
Now it is August, the season when sweet osmanthus flowers are in full bloom. However, because Beijing is located in the north, there are not many sweet osmanthus flowers planted in the capital.
Xie Yao picked up the letter paper and knocked it carefully, and found a very faint mark. She thought about it and looked into the envelope again.
I saw a small yellow thing inside.
She tore open the envelope and spread it in front of the two of them, "Where Sister Ying is, there are such osmanthus flowers."
She affirmed: "Sister Ying is in Beijing."
She had originally suspected this, and now she was even more certain.
Xiao Ning kidnapped Sister Ying, firstly to threaten her and His Highness, and secondly to target Pei Chen, Marquis of Zhenbei, so she had previously suspected whether Xiao Ning would transfer people to the northern border.
But he also felt that the journey to the north was long and there might be problems along the way, so it would be more convenient to detain the person under the nose of the capital.
"Great, great!" Zhao Hao was overjoyed. Although the person had not been found yet, having such a clue was already very good news. "Cousin, you are so smart, you are really so smart!"
As Zhao Hao spoke, he subconsciously looked at Cheng Fengqi beside him, trying to seek recognition from him.
But when he looked over, he saw Cheng Fengqi looking at Xie Yao with admiration and obsession.
Zhao Hao was startled, then he immediately raised his voice and called out, "Brother Cheng!"
Such a look is dangerous!
He didn't like it either.
His cousin is a married woman and has a very close relationship with the Crown Prince. Brother Cheng once harmed his cousin because of his uncontrollable feelings, and now he has to put an end to such things.
Zhao Hao even felt that if he had known this, he should not have brought Brother Cheng to the Prince's Mansion to meet his cousin...
Cheng Fengqi immediately came back to his senses and lowered his eyes slightly, "Yes, the Crown Princess is smart."
Xie Yao said: "It's not me, it's Sister Ying. She understands what I mean, so she will try her best to pass on the clues."
"Being able to hide osmanthus flowers in the envelope means that Sister Mingying should have a certain degree of freedom, and the place where she is imprisoned should be a good environment."
Zhao Hao said happily: "I'll go find it right away..."
"Wait." Xie Yao said, "You can't go look for it."
Zhao Hao was stunned, but he believed that his cousin must have her reasons, so he asked hurriedly: "Why?"
"Is it to conceal our tracks?" Cheng Fengqi asked. "If we go to look for them in a big way, the perpetrators will definitely notice it and will most likely move Miss Zhao."
Xie Yao nodded, "Not bad."
"I will arrange for someone to secretly search for Sister Ying, and you... continue searching in the direction of the past two days. Don't let anyone notice anything."
Zhao Hao looked slightly stern and said seriously, "I will listen to my cousin."
"The Crown Princess is wise." Cheng Fengqi also agreed.
Cheng Fengqi originally wanted to say that the people in the Prince's Mansion were afraid that the person who took action would be watched, and once he took action, he would inevitably be discovered.
But then I thought that Xie Yao wouldn't think about these things. Since she dared to speak, she must have a plan.
He said nothing more and left the Prince's Mansion with Zhao Hao.
Xie Yao ordered Zhu Qing, "Prepare the car and go to the prison."
She received the letter, and it was time to discuss the next step with Xiao Ning as agreed...
Sky prison.
After encountering such a thing, Xiao Ning was about to explode. She was in a bad mood all day long, and several people who served her were beaten away.
But when Xie Yao arrived, she noticed that Xiao Ning was in a good mood.
“Here I come.”
Xiao Ning could only lie on the bed, the corners of his lips that were raised instantly retracted, and he said to Xie Yao: "Did you receive the letter?"
"Yes." Xie Yao said, "It is indeed Sister Ying's handwriting."
"Tell me, what are you going to do to free her?"
Xiao Ning immediately frowned and sneered, "I have already told you what I want. What? Do you want to go back on your word?"
Xie Yao better not!
Otherwise she wouldn't be spoiled now!
Xie Yao shook her head, "Of course not."
"But before you meet Sister Ying, you can only choose one of these: letting you leave the prison or restoring your identity and reputation."
Xiao Ning's face darkened, and he snorted coldly, "Get lost."
A bitch who broke her promise!
Telling her this now?
Xie Yao didn't leave, but continued: "You are suspected of treason. You know the price of releasing you."
"And to clarify things for you, I need Your Highness to endorse and testify for you. What if I do it, but you don't release Sister Ying?"
Xiao Ning: “…”
Xie Yao actually guessed it right!
She was just planning to get something for nothing and would never release Zhao Ying. Since Zhao Ying was so useful, she would naturally use her more.
Besides, her people had already sent the message to Pei Chen, the Marquis of Zhenbei, who was far away in the northern border...
What Xiao Ning thought in her heart was one thing, but she didn't show it on her face. She turned her eyes and sneered, "Do you think I am you?"
"Once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back." Xiao Ning said, "I will do what I say."
"You are right." Xie Yao said, "I have always kept my word. Princess, please release Sister Ying first. I will definitely do what I promised you."
Xiao Ning's face darkened.
Naturally, she didn't trust Xie Yao!
"It seems you haven't thought it through." Xiao Ning sneered, "Then go back and think about it carefully. Zhao Ying... are you going to save her or not?"
Anyway, the person is in her hands, and the initiative is in her hands.
The one who can't wait is Xie Yao.
Xie Yao pursed her lips, her face full of embarrassment and hesitation, as if she was really thinking about Xiao Ning's words, but in the end she couldn't open her mouth to say anything.
Finally, Xie Yao said: "Princess, you don't want to stay in the prison forever, right? What happened last night..."
"Shut up!" Xiao Ning was instantly furious, looking at Xie Yao with a ferocious expression, "Xie Yao, do you want Zhao Ying to die?!"
Xie Yao said: "Princess, don't be angry. I just think that returning to the Princess's Mansion might be safer than staying in the Heavenly Prison."
After all, the guards of the princess's mansion would not watch Xiao An hurt Xiao Ning for fear of hurting Xiao An.
"Hmph!" A cold light flashed in Xiao Ning's narrowed eyes, "Xie Yao, either agree to everything, or... just wait for your body to be collected."
After saying that, Xiao Ning closed his eyes, obviously not wanting to talk to Xie Yao anymore.
Xie Yao stood there for a long time before finally leaving the prison slowly and hesitantly. Before leaving, she said in a weak voice, "Princess, please think about it again."
Only after making sure Xie Yao had completely left did Xiao Ning open his eyes, with a look of determination in his eyes.
Judging from Xie Yao’s reaction just now, she really cares about Zhao Ying.
It was only a matter of time before he agreed to her conditions, and she didn't mind waiting a few more days.
Xie Yao had a frown on her face the entire time she left the Heavenly Prison. It was not until she got on the carriage that her expression instantly returned to normal.
She now has a direction to search for Sister Ying, and her behavior in front of Xiao Ning today was all acting.
Delay time.
But... it was still very tiring. Fortunately, the prison was dark, and Xiao Ning was in pain and furious, so he probably didn't take her too seriously.
Otherwise, she was really afraid that with Xiao Ning's intelligence, she would find something wrong.
Xie Yao reviewed Xiao Ning's performance in her mind, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Ning should believe her.
But...something was wrong with Xiao Ning.
When she mentioned what happened last night, although Xiao Ning was angry, she did not clamor to do something to Xiao An like she did yesterday.
unless……
Xie Yao's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately ordered, "Send someone to the Third Prince's Mansion to take a look!"
Xiao Ning was very cunning. In the past, she had Concubine Li laying the groundwork, and even Master Xuan was behind her attack on Xiao An...
I’m afraid Xiao An is not safe in the Third Prince’s Mansion.
"Yes." Although Si Bei didn't understand why the Crown Princess suddenly gave such an order, he still went to arrange it immediately.
Xie Yao's carriage had just returned to the Prince's Mansion when Si Bei returned with a grim expression.
"Crown Princess, you guessed correctly. Something has really happened to the Third Prince."
Si Bei looked nauseous, obviously disgusted. He took a deep breath and said, "Someone put drugs in the Third Prince's wine. He and his guards were locked in a room. They..."
Xie Yao understood.
This is Xiao Ning’s revenge.
No wonder Xiao Ning was in a good mood when she went to the Heavenly Prison today.
Si Bei continued, "When my subordinates went there, they were, were..." Si Bei wanted to vomit when he thought of that scene. He felt that he had suffered severe damage both physically and mentally.
Xie Yao looked sympathetic, "Thank you for your hard work."
Then she ordered, "Prepare the carriage and enter the palace."
