Chapter 78 I Miss Your Highness So Much
That night.
Xiao Ji received a reply from Xie Yao.
Compared with his concise words, Xie Yao's envelope was full and thick.
"Your Highness." Si Nan winked and said, "The Crown Princess really misses you."
Xiao Ji kicked Si Nan and asked him to go out. Holding the letter in his hand, his heartbeat really quickened.
A bit looking forward to it.
He opened the letter and saw several pages filled with Xie Yao's handwritten calligraphy, which recorded in detail everything she had done in the capital.
As detailed as a daily diary.
As soon as he read the letter, Xie Yao's figure and her appearance when she did these things appeared in his mind unconsciously.
Xiao Ji couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly.
At the end of the envelope it was written: I am fine, I just miss Your Highness, but I can bear it.
I hope your highness is safe.
Xiao Ji's mind flashed with the expression of Xie Yao, who was both happy and angry when she said this, and the letter seemed to be filled with her scent.
He missed the Crown Princess a little.
Bang!
At this moment, the whole ship shook violently.
Before Xiao Ji could ask, Si Nan's voice came from outside, "Your Highness, the ship hit a reef!"
Xiao Ji immediately put the letter close to his body, placed it against his chest, turned around quickly and went out to check the situation.
There was chaos on the boat again.
"Your Highness."
Xiao Ji saw the young official who said he would guard his rear yesterday, looking pale and bowing to him, "There is a big hole in the boat, and water is leaking in. It can't be blocked."
"There is a lifeboat on board, please leave quickly, Your Highness!"
The river water was already turbulent, not to mention it had been raining for so long recently, so the river surface was not calm.
Xiao Ji frowned and prepared to go and check out the situation first.
He lived on the second floor and had to go down the stairs to go down. As soon as he went down the stairs, he saw a flash of cold light.
“Go to hell!”
A vicious voice came from the side, and the official held a dagger and stabbed it directly into Xiao Ji's heart.
The man was extremely fast and Xiao Ji was caught off guard, plus the two were very close to each other.
The man actually inserted the dagger in the right place.
Bang!
The next second, Xiao Ji raised his foot and kicked the man out.
He pulled out the dagger, which was as clean as new. Xiao Ji thought of something and took out the envelope from his chest.
The letter he had just received today was pierced through.
If the knife had penetrated deeper, it would have hurt him.
Si Nan had already subdued the official who was kicked away. The official fell on the deck and spit out blood.
With fierce eyes, he looked at Xiao Ji unwillingly, "Die, go, die..."
Xiao Ji's expression was even uglier than his.
With murderous intent surging through his body, he walked up to the young official and said, "You destroyed my letter."
What?
The young official didn't react for a moment.
But it doesn’t matter, he soon laughed, “Die, all of you will die! Hahahaha…you will all die.”
Xiao Ji grabbed his face and his roar was forced to stop.
Xiao Ji stared at the young man with gloomy eyes, "You, and the people behind you...will all die."
Xiao Ji's eyes seemed to see through everything, and the young official actually dodged and was afraid for a moment.
Xiao Ji didn't give him another chance and just said, "Kill him."
Si Nan did not hesitate. He killed the young official with a knife and then kicked him into the river.
After doing all this, Si Nan asked, "Your Highness, are you not going to try me?"
“No need.”
Xiao Ji shook his head, "I know who he belongs to."
Si Nan immediately said: "Your Highness is smart."
Xiao Ji glanced at Si Nan and asked, "Are you all ready?"
"Yes." Si Nan nodded, "The intact ship will be here soon." Xiao Ji had made arrangements before boarding the ship.
There are ships prepared along the way to pick us up, just in case something like this happens tonight.
Xiao Ji nodded, looked at the large ship approaching from afar, and said, "Tell the people in the capital to protect the Crown Princess."
them……
I really want him to never come back this time.
…
Xie Yao has been sleepy these days and gets up late.
As soon as the day started, Zhu Xin walked in and whispered, "Crown Princess, Princess He Yi's mansion has sent an invitation."
Xie Yao took it and looked at it with a gloomy face.
The post said that Princess Heyi was concerned about the people of Nanzhou and that the banquet was being held to raise funds. Ladies from each family could donate some money to help the victims.
Is Xiao Ning so kind?
Xie Yao didn't believe it.
Although there was no evidence, she inexplicably felt that... Xiao Ning was coming for her.
Xiao Ning occupied the righteousness of this banquet.
Even if Xie Yao didn't want to go, she had to. As the Crown Princess, she should set an example.
the next day.
The capital city, which had been quiet for a few days, became bustling again, because today was the day when Princess Heyi would hold a banquet to raise funds for the people of Nanzhou.
When Xie Yao arrived, most of the officials' wives and noble ladies in the capital had already arrived.
"Royal sister-in-law."
Princess Heyi came forward in person with a bright smile on her face, "The Queen's sister-in-law is kind and kind. I knew she would come."
Xie Yao also smiled, "My royal sister is considering the people of Nanzhou. As the Crown Princess, I naturally have to come."
Xie Yao was quickly welcomed to the main hall and sat down, and a maid served her tea and snacks.
Xie Yao was on guard against Xiao Ning, so naturally she didn't eat anything.
But when the maid changed the teacup, she accidentally spilled tea on Xie Yao's skirt.
Xie Yao's heart suddenly tightened.
The maid immediately knelt down and kowtowed to apologize, "Princess, please forgive me, please forgive me, I didn't mean it."
"Get up." Xie Yao glanced at the maid, memorized her appearance, and said in a gentle voice.
Xiao Ning also looked apologetic, "Sister-in-law, I am really sorry that the maid in my palace is clumsy."
"The emperor's sister-in-law is kind-hearted. Since she doesn't blame you, why don't you take her to change clothes?"
After Xie Yao heard what Xiao Ning said, what else didn't she understand?
It's nothing more than a matter of reputation.
Xiao Ning herself does not take her reputation seriously. She has had affairs with countless men in private, but she often uses her "reputation" to scheme against others.
It's really ridiculous.
As soon as she walked out the door, Xie Yao gave Zhu Xin a look.
Xie Yao originally thought that Xiao Ning must have made some arrangements, but when she finished changing her clothes, she went out again and returned to the courtyard...
There were no surprises.
Did she wrongly blame Xiao Ning?
"Sister Chan, it's been a long time since we last met. You are even more graceful than before."
Xie Yao was walking when she suddenly heard a familiar voice.
She turned her head and saw that the Second Prince was standing with his back to her, talking to a tall woman with a not-so-fair complexion.
I don’t know which girl in Beijing she is, but she is unlucky to be targeted by Xiao Hong.
"Wei Chan greets the Crown Princess." When the woman saw Xie Yao, she saluted in an awkward manner, her eyes like stars, and her frankness was somewhat cute.
Xie Yao immediately confirmed the man's identity.
The third daughter of your highness's maternal family, the Wei family, is a sister of General Wei who is now in the Zhenbei Army.
Xiao Hong's body stiffened slightly. He turned his head suddenly and saw Xie Yao clearly. There was hatred and fear in his eyes.
