Chapter 39 Your Highness is in Good Health
Xie Yao's voice was soft and erratic, with a cunning flash in her eyes. Her soft palm rested on Xiao Ji's chest, "Your Highness is even faster..."
Xiao Ji was really caught off guard. He could control his body's reactions but he could not control the speed of his heartbeat.
Xiao Ji's ears felt hot, he grabbed Xie Yao's hand, his eyes helpless, "Crown Princess."
Xie Yao let Xiao Ji hold her hand and blinked her eyelashes. The distance between them was already very close, and the atmosphere was even more ambiguous at this moment.
Xiao Ji was stunned for a moment before he reacted and said, "It will do you no good to get involved in such things. If you are not careful, you may get into trouble. You..."
"I have His Highness."
Xie Yao answered as a matter of course. She looked at Xiao Ji with burning eyes, "Your Highness said that he would protect me, and I am already the Crown Princess. Do you think I can really stay out of this?"
"Feel sorry."
Xiao Ji lowered his eyelids slightly and spoke quickly, "It is I who have implicated you. I... will do my best to protect you."
He had such a plan before.
But his life span is limited, and now that he knows that his mother died of witchcraft, he must find out the truth and avenge his mother.
If you can't do all these, you are not worthy of being a human being.
For Xie Yao...he could only do his best.
"Your Highness." Xie Yao held Xiao Ji's hand and looked at him seriously. "Rather than being protected, I want to stand shoulder to shoulder with Your Highness."
"Perhaps Your Highness can try to trust me."
Xie Yao blinked, her bright eyes filled with smiles.
Although her fingers were soft and slender, they were strong. When she said this, she was in high spirits and had a strong aura, and she seemed extremely confident.
Xiao Ji was stunned again, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes belatedly.
His Crown Princess...
Better and more dazzling than he had imagined.
Seeing Xiao Ji didn't say anything, Xie Yao cursed him silently in her heart, and then said: "Besides, Your Highness and I have a common enemy."
Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ji came to the answer in his heart. He clearly saw the hatred in Xie Yao's eyes and knew that it could not be fake.
“I’m looking forward to it.”
Xiao Ji did not ask the reason, and he could not express his own reason, so it was naturally inconvenient for him to ask Xie Yao.
Xie Yao still felt a little disappointed. Although her honesty failed, it was not a complete loss.
She smiled brightly, "Your Highness and your wife and I are of one mind, and we will be invincible."
After saying this, she took the initiative to release Xiao Ji's hand, "Since I have touched Your Highness, I am even with what Your Highness did just now."
Xie Yao spoke openly, but Xiao Ji blushed.
Xiao Ji hummed and left in a hurry.
As soon as he left, Zhu Xin ran in excitedly from outside, "Crown Princess, I just received news that Song Wenbo went to the outside of Princess Heyi's residence and knelt down to apologize."
The entire capital city was shocked by what happened today.
Song Wenbo became famous at Mr. Qingshan's disciple-accepting banquet some time ago, and became famous again a few days ago when he was brought by Princess Heyi to pay a visit to Yang Jijiu.
Now this time it's even more ridiculous.
Song Wenbo's mother actually wanted to cling to the most favored Princess Heyi, and even used such vulgar words to comment on Her Highness...
The news spread like wildfire in the capital, and of course Xie Yao was not the only one who fanned the flames.
"I followed the Crown Princess's instructions and involved the Xie family as well." Zhu Xin said this with some worry, "Will this matter... affect you, Crown Princess?"
After all, the Crown Princess's surname is also Xie.
"It doesn't matter." Xie Yao said, "Even if I don't do this, someone else will do it."
She just wanted to remind Song Wenbo that he was the son-in-law of the Xie family.
Before Zhu Xin could react, Zhu Qing also walked in with an ugly expression, "Crown Princess, I just received the news."
"It is rumored that Song Wenbo and His Highness are brothers-in-law. This time, Song Li framed and humiliated Princess He Yi, all at the behest of His Highness!"
Zhu Qing was so angry that his eyes turned red.
Xie Yao held her chin with one hand and thought for a moment, "That's not wrong."
She was the one who instigated this matter.
Ignoring Zhu Qing who was stamping his feet in anger, she asked again: "Did you clean up the tail?" This was something she had done, so there would be traces left.
"Don't worry, Princess." Zhu Qing said solemnly, "Today's news has passed through several hands, no one will doubt me."
Xie Yao nodded, "Okay."
Zhu Qing's mood was interrupted, and he was less angry than before, "Crown Princess, those rumors outside..."
"No rush." Xie Yao was not annoyed. Those who were eager to drag the prince into the water... were all enemies.
Besides, she believed that there were people who were more anxious.
Last time in Mr. Qingshan’s yard, Xie’s father abandoned his beloved daughter Xie Yujiao for the sake of his face. What about this time?
Xie Yao thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "Let's go to the study."
Instead of having time to clarify things, she might as well talk more with His Highness.
Xie Yao rushed to the study.
But Xiao Ji came out of the ear room in a hurry wearing a long gown, his black hair was tied up low, the ends of his hair were wet, and his whole body exuded a cold moisture.
Your Highness is taking a bath, or is it cold water?
This broad daylight...
Xie Yao glanced out the window and said, "Your Highness is in great health." Although the weather has turned warmer, it is still far from time to take a cold bath.
"cough."
Xiao Ji coughed lightly and looked away from Xie Yao, "Crown Princess...is there something wrong?"
Xie Yao told the rumors outside.
Xiao Ji should be bathing, so he didn't know yet. At this moment, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly asked, "What do you think, Crown Princess?"
"There are only a few people who can spread this rumor. It is easy to quell it. But... I don't recommend that Your Highness quell this rumor now."
Xie Yao answered very seriously.
"Why?" Xiao Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, poured two cups of tea, picked up one of them and took a sip, and asked.
Xie Yao explained, "Your Highness has never been a flamboyant person. If he rushes out to clarify now, it would make him look guilty. Besides, this is a good opportunity to see if there are any people who would take advantage of his misfortune."
She didn't say that she was mainly waiting for the reaction from the Xie family.
After saying that, Xie Yao also felt thirsty, so she picked up a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp.
Xiao Ji stretched out his hand to stop her, but he was not as fast as Xie Yao...
He had drunk that... and Xie Yao drank it again, does that count...
The scene of that night when Xie Yao pressed him down flashed through Xiao Ji's mind.
Xie Yao put down the teacup, looked at Xiao Ji and frowned slightly, "Your Highness?"
She stretched out her hand and placed it directly on Xiao Ji's forehead. "Your Highness, your face is so red. Did you feel cold because you just took a cold shower?"
After Xie Yao finished speaking, Xiao Ji's face became even hotter.
She... doesn't know anything at all!
Without waiting for Xiao Ji to answer, Xie Yao stood up and called the palace doctor, "Come, call..."
But just as he uttered the word, he felt his wrist tighten, and then he fell backwards with his upper body almost lying flat on the desk.
Xiao Ji, who had just stood up in a hurry, was also bent over by the force, and the postures of the two were strange and ambiguous.
"Crown Princess, please shout..."
Si Nan's voice came from the door. He poked half of his head in, and immediately raised his hands to cover his eyes when he saw this scene. He turned and walked away, muttering loudly, "I didn't see it, I didn't see anything..."
