Chapter 300 Xiao An Goes Crazy
Xie Yao's carriage arrived at the palace gate smoothly.
When they were about to reach the Yangxin Palace, Si Bei suddenly spoke up, "Crown Princess, please let your subordinates go and inform His Highness of this matter."
Um?
Xie Yao looked at Si Bei with some surprise.
She had a look of disgust and resistance just now, so why did she volunteer now? But Xie Yao felt that it was not good for her to say so.
He stopped outside the Yangxin Palace and said to Si Bei, "Okay, go ahead."
She waited outside first.
Soon, Si Bei came out, "Crown Princess, His Highness invites you in."
Xie Yao nodded slightly and stepped into the room.
Xiao Ji's expression was hard to describe. He took a deep breath and felt that even the air in the Yangxin Palace was polluted by Si Bei's words just now.
Xiao An and Xiao Ning...it turned out that they couldn't have a single day of peace.
Xiao An attacked Xiao Ning last night, and today Xiao Ning retaliated against him.
He didn't know what to say.
"There's no need to tell our aunt about what happened today, so as not to pollute her ears." Xiao Ji discussed with Xie Yao.
Xie Yao nodded immediately, "Your Highness is right, I think so too."
They are both princes and princesses, and a royal scandal. Even if the eldest princess knew about it, it would be impossible for her to punish both of them who were hit at the same time. Don't let this matter cause you to become angry and do something bad.
After all... because Xiao An had lost some function, his position in this ridiculous incident was much more embarrassing than Xiao Hong's last time.
Xie Yao readily changed the subject and mentioned the letter that Xiao Ning had someone send.
After listening to what Xie Yao said, Xiao Ji's eyes were filled with admiration that almost overflowed.
One reason was that Xie Yao went to the palace to share Xiao An's affairs with Xiao Ji, and the other was to show it to Xiao Ning.
In addition to putting on a show in front of Xiao Ning, she must have also discussed with Xiao Ji whether to give in to Xiao Ning's request.
Xie Yao finished talking about Zhao Ying.
Xiao Ji reached out and held Xie Yao's hand. Xie Yao was slightly startled, the corners of her lips slightly raised, she hummed, and followed Xiao Ji's direction.
Xiao Ji pulled her to the desk and handed a letter on the desk to Xie Yao.
Xie Yao took it subconsciously, and then reacted. She lowered her eyes slightly, tightened her grip on the envelope, and looked up at Xiao Ji, "Your Highness, this..."
Xie Yao's subconscious action had already given Xiao Ji the answer, and his guess was correct.
He just lost a piece of memory and didn't become stupid, so he knew very well what decision he would make in such a situation.
In the past, he indeed had high hopes for the Crown Princess.
Xiao Ji's expression did not change, and he said, "It's a letter from the North. It was sent by lightning and just arrived today."
He had just read it. If Xie Yao had not happened to enter the palace, he would have sent someone to deliver the message to the Prince's Mansion.
Only then did Xie Yao take out the letter from the opened envelope.
Originally, the Northern Frontier had captured two cities in a row, and the morale of the soldiers in the Northern Frontier was already in chaos. Although the Northern Frontier did not capture the third city, everyone was very panicked.
As for Pei Chen, he just arrived in the northern border and successfully stabilized the morale of the army and quickly stabilized the war situation in the northern border.
Pei Chen fought a battle with Beijiang and won.
This is also one of the reasons why Xie Yao and Xiao Ji proposed to cooperate directly with Prince Huyan, and Prince Huyan agreed without any hesitation.
Second Prince Huyan saw the strength of Xiao Ji's side, which was not comparable to Xiao Ning who had no military power.
As for whether the fierceness of the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom would be bad news for Northern Xinjiang... that was something that Second Prince Huyan would need to consider after he became the master of Northern Xinjiang.
At this stage, he wants to compete for the position of emperor, so the stronger the ally, the better.
After Huyan Yuan was imprisoned, the Second Prince Huyan released the people of one of the cities as promised, and secretly discussed the next arrangements with Pei Chen and others.
The war situation in the north was stable, and Xie Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
"It has to be the Marquis of Zhenbei." Xie Yao sighed, "However, when this letter was delivered, the Marquis of Zhenbei probably didn't know about Sister Ying's disappearance."
"Yes." Xiao Ji nodded, "I have already told him about this in my reply letter."
Instead of waiting for Xiao Ning's threat, he might as well let Lightning send a message back first, so that Pei Chen would not be threatened and could only worry without knowing the situation.
Xie Yao had no objection either.
Although this matter is risky, Pei Chen is a smart man. Even if he is worried, it will not affect the overall situation.
After they finished talking about business, Xie Yao realized that her hand was still held by Xiao Ji.
The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she said, "Your Highness, are you feeling okay?"
Xiao Ji held her hand tightly and said, "Very good."
Xie Yao: “…” I always feel that Your Highness is answering the wrong question?
"Your Highness, something happened!" Just then, the voice of Li Dajian came from outside.
Xie Yao and Xiao Ji looked at each other and were both shocked. Xie Yao quickly withdrew her hand from Xiao Ji's palm.
At the same time, Xiao Ji said to the outside world: "Come in and tell me."
Li Dajian lowered his head and walked in quickly, "Your Highness, Crown Prince, Crown Princess. I just received news that the Third Prince got very angry for some reason and killed seven or eight people in the Third Prince's Mansion with a knife. He also tried to force his way out of the Third Prince's Mansion, but was stopped by the Jinwu Guards."
"But during the dispute... His Royal Highness the Third Prince accidentally hurt himself."
Xiao Ji: “…”
He already knew what happened to Xiao An, and knew that Xiao An would lose his temper, but to lose his temper like this...
He still underestimated Xiao An.
He took a deep breath and said, "Find a doctor to treat his injuries, compensate those he killed, and give them a good burial."
"In addition." Xiao Ji paused and said, "Pass on my order. If Xiao An doesn't behave himself, he will be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison."
Li Dajian had just gone down to pass on the order when Si Nan hurried over again, "Your Highness, the Third Prince made such a big fuss at the gate of the mansion today that I'm afraid the news has spread."
This is not like last night in the Sky Prison where we could keep silent. Besides, this matter concerns Xiao Ning, so even if someone knows about it, they would not dare to show it.
Even if it is a rumor, no one dares to name names.
After all, who dares to laugh at the princess' joke?
But the Third Prince had a quarrel with the Jinwu Guards at the gate of the Third Prince's Mansion today, and many people saw it...
Xiao Ji raised his hand and pinched his brows, saying: "It seems that being confined to the mansion is still too free, so let's confine him to his yard."
"Yes." Si Nan immediately turned around to pass on the order.
Xie Yao also knew that after the Third Prince had caused such a thing, the court officials would definitely not be able to remain calm.
"Your Highness, please be busy now. I will go see my aunt and then leave the palace."
"Okay." Xiao Ji's voice instantly became gentle. He watched Xie Yao leave, and when he looked away, there was only coldness left in his heavy eyes.
After Xie Yao left the side hall, her expression turned somewhat ugly.
Of course, she did it on purpose.
Although she was not sure if there were any of Xiao Ning's people here, she was very dedicated and acted in full.
It was not until she reached the outside of the main hall that she made her ugly expression look a little better and stepped into the door of the main hall.
"Aunt." The eldest princess was still accompanying the emperor. When she saw Xie Yao, her brows relaxed a little, "Come and sit down."
"Xiao An's matter..." The princess sighed, "I have heard about it. He is really too absurd."
In the past, the emperor had intended to train Xiao An. At that time, she didn't think Xiao An had such a big problem. Now it seems...
Xiao An is really not good enough.
Although what Xiao Ning did was not right either.
The princess only knew the fact but not the reason. However, Xie Yao did not explain in detail. She just comforted her by saying, "Aunt, don't be angry. His Highness has already ordered the severe punishment of the Third Prince."
"Hmph." The eldest princess snorted coldly, and her dissatisfaction was naturally directed at Xiao An.
After a while, she looked at Xie Yao with admiration and said, "I already know about Zhao girl's matter. You did a great job."
Xie Yao was not surprised. This time, she mobilized the eldest princess's people to secretly search for Sister Ying based on the clues obtained today.
With that warrant.
These people were definitely out of Xiao Ning's sight, so searching for them secretly would not alarm Xiao Ning.
Xie Yao smiled shyly, "Aunt, thank you for the compliment. It is all my responsibility. The most urgent thing is to find Sister Ying first."
The princess nodded, patted Xie Yao's hand soothingly, and said, "Crown Princess and I will go to Fengming Palace."
Fengming Palace is where the eldest princess lives in the palace.
Xie Yao naturally agreed and immediately stood up, supported the eldest princess and walked towards Fengming Palace with her.
From a distance, Xie Yao saw a figure kneeling in Fengming Palace.
This person was wearing a goose yellow dress and looked like a young girl from behind, but Xie Yao didn't think she looked familiar, probably because she had never seen her before.
Instead, Suqin behind the eldest princess whispered, "Crown Princess, this person is the second young lady of the Xuan family."
