Chapter 90 Your Highness, please don't be angry
The two of them had dinner separately.
Xiao Ji felt like vomiting when he smelled meat.
Xie Yao wanted to eat vegetarian food with him, but Xiao Ji was reluctant. When Xie Yao was eating, Xiao Ji went to take a bath and change clothes.
Xie Yao's appetite has improved a lot recently.
While it was still light, the couple took a stroll in the garden of the Prince's Mansion to help digest their food.
"Your Highness, what is happening in the Yangxin Palace today?" Xie Yao asked proactively.
Xiao Ji's brows were cold, "It is a fact that the Li family was convicted, but... Your Majesty must protect Xiao Hong."
The evidence is all there.
But the emperor wanted to protect him.
That's his own son.
Xie Yao couldn't say whether she was disappointed or not. Since she saw Xiao Hong at the ferry today, she knew that this was expected.
"In addition." Xiao Ji pondered for a moment and said, "Today Pei Chen said that the epidemic...may be related to Hu Yanyuan."
Since the last time, Hu Yanyuan took advantage of Xiao Ning's plan to plot against Pei Chen and directly plotted against Xiao Ningshi.
They knew that Huyan Yuan was not an easy person to deal with.
Xie Yao frowned, she was thinking about something else.
If the epidemic is really related to Huyan Yuan, then...what about the previous life?
She remembered the treatment prescription for the plague in her previous life and had also looked at that in this life. There was not much difference between the two.
In other words, it is very likely the same disease...
"Yaoyao?" Not hearing Xie Yao's response, Xiao Ji glanced at her with confusion in his eyes.
He remembered the last time Xiao Ning plotted against Pei Chen...
The Crown Princess had asked for his opinion in an ambiguous way earlier.
Xie Yao retracted her thoughts, "If it really has something to do with him, I wonder who he is working with."
Suddenly.
Xiao Ji stopped and looked at Xie Yao, with a dangerous look in his eyes, "Yaoyao... do you have anything to say to me?"
Um?
Xie Yao's heart tightened, she thought about it in her mind, then slowly shook her head, "No, no."
Xiao Ji pursed his lips, his face clearly showing some displeasure.
The two looked at each other.
After a long while, Xie Yao slowly reached out her hand and gently tugged at Xiao Ji's sleeve, "Your Highness..."
She is showing weakness.
The anger that Xiao Ji had been holding back instantly disappeared. He looked helpless and said, "Xiao Hong plotted against you, why didn't you tell me?"
Xie Yao suddenly realized!
She had been plotted against by the imperial concubine and Xiao Hong in the palace before, and she had plotted against Xiao Hong in return to embarrass him.
She really forgot to say it.
Seeing her expression, Xiao Ji became even angrier. Such a thing... could be forgotten?
"Your Highness, I didn't suffer any loss." Xie Yao threw herself directly into Xiao Ji's arms, hooked her hands tightly around his waist, and spoke softly and coquettishly.
"Besides, there's an epidemic in Nanzhou, and I don't want Your Highness to be distracted, so I just...forgot about it. Your Highness, please don't be angry, okay?"
Xiao Ji's anger was not directed at Xie Yao, but after hearing her words, his heart softened.
"I'm not angry with you." Xiao Ji looked helpless, and his tone softened, "Yaoyao, I failed to protect you."
Xie Yao stood on tiptoe and kissed Xiao Ji's chin, "Then I won't be angry with Your Highness, and Your Highness won't be angry either."
To comfort the children.
Xiao Ji didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and pinched Xie Yao's nose. "Is it about the Wanshou Festival?"
"Yeah." Xie Yao nodded, "I..."
She originally wanted to say something, something high-sounding like saying something to help the Imperial Concubine and His Highness relieve their worries.
But when she met Xiao Ji's eyes, she said inexplicably: "I want to do it."
No reason, just thinking.
"Okay." She didn't say anything, and Xiao Ji didn't ask, but only asked: "What do you want me to do?"
Xie Yao smiled brightly, raised her hands and hooked them around Xiao Ji's neck, "Then... Your Highness, please carry me back to the house."
Xiao Ji picked up Xie Yao by the waist, turned around and walked back to the house.
Xie Yao had just slept during the day.
But after the two of them had been making noise for half the night, she went to bed first.
Xiao Ji put on his clothes and went out, standing in front of the main courtyard gate, "Tell your majesty's people that the Imperial Master and the Imperial Concubine are old acquaintances."
Si Nan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Highness, can you please send the evidence along with it?"
"No need." Xiao Ji looked towards the direction of the palace, "He will check it himself."
Things that you have found out with great difficulty are more convincing than things that are given to you lightly by others.
What he wanted was to make the emperor suspicious.
The next day.
Xiao Ji escorted Xie Yao into the palace and met Pei Chen who also entered the palace. The two walked together.
Xiao Ji's eyes fell on Pei Chen and he said, "Leave no one from the Li family alive."
Pei Chen was slightly surprised, "What did Xiao Hong do to you?"
This attitude wasn't there yesterday.
After all, the emperor was willing to be lenient with them for the sake of the imperial concubine and the second prince.
Since the Li family was imprisoned, the imperial concubine has fainted from crying five times. After all, they have been his wife's bedmates for many years, and they can all see that his majesty has softened his heart.
Xiao Ji shook his head, "It's not me, it's the Crown Princess."
Pei Chen's expression immediately changed, "That's damn it!"
Xiao Ji raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Yes."
Although Xie Yao had fought back against the last plot and made Xiao Hong pay the price and lose face.
But what Yaoyao does is what Yaoyao does.
What he did was his duty as a husband.
After they finished talking, they quickly separated, and Xiao Ji went to the Yanx Palace to pick up Xie Yao.
Xie Yao came out of the Yanxi Palace with a smile on her face. She had a pleasant conversation with Concubine Shu. But because of this, she finally remembered why she felt that Concubine Shu's eyebrows and eyes looked familiar.
She looks at it every day, but it doesn't look familiar.
Shufei's eyebrows and eyes... are quite similar to Xiao Ji's.
She guessed that it should look like the late queen.
"Your Highness."
Seeing Xiao Ji, Xie Yao suppressed her thoughts, took a few quick steps and held his hand.
Xiao Ji could only see Xie Yao, with a faint smile in his slightly lowered eyes, "Alright?"
"Yeah." Xie Yao nodded, "Let's go."
The two turned and left, walking a few steps side by side. Xiao Ji suddenly felt that someone was looking at him, so he turned around and looked -
But I saw nothing.
"Your Highness?"
Xiao Ji turned around and said, "Nothing, let's go."
At this moment, a figure slowly walked out from behind the gate of Yanx Palace. It was the now favored Concubine Shu.
She slowly turned around and walked towards the Yanxi Palace.
…
Pei Chen arrested a bunch of people for the Nanzhou incident, and after returning to Beijing, he also made a special report in the court.
The young man was stubborn and wanted to kill the Li family.
There were many people in the court who fanned the flames. Seeing that the Li family was really about to collapse, countless people took advantage of the situation.
The Li family was in a situation where everyone was pushing them down.
After the imperial concubine fainted from crying again, Xiao Hong entered the palace to see her. He paced back and forth in the Weiyang Palace anxiously, "Mother, what should we do?"
The imperial concubine's eyes were red and she was in low spirits. Her power had been taken away recently and something had happened to the Li family again...
I really cried.
"Maybe this is an opportunity." The imperial concubine said carefully: "Hong'er, contact the court officials and let everyone report your uncle."
"No matter what the crime is, you can just make it up. The more exaggerated the better... Let everyone in the court report him."
"Mother!" Xiao Hong frowned.
If he did this, his father would definitely think he was cold-hearted...
The imperial concubine thought he was worried about his uncle, and she looked relieved, saying, "If you put yourself in a desperate situation, you may be able to find a way out for your uncle."
