Chapter 117 The Second Prince Kills Xiao Ning
Xie Yao only knew that he was born to be lonely, and she didn't know that there were other reasons for his physical condition. Xiao Ji didn't want to talk about this with the Crown Princess at this time.
The Crown Princess is still pregnant, how can she worry about his affairs?
Xie Yao's eyes flickered slightly, and she didn't ask any more questions, just leaning in Xiao Ji's arms.
After Xiao Ji comforted Xie Yao, he returned to the study.
He looked through the papers that had been sorted on the table one by one, and after making sure there were no problems, he handed them to Si Nan and said, "Send them quietly to the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple."
Si Nan did not dare to peek, and bowed his head respectfully, "Yes, Your Highness."
Since he has said that he will not let anyone go, he will naturally do what he says.
Xiao Hong paid the price, and now... it's the next one's turn.
The capital was under martial law for several days.
Pei Chen led a team to search for the thieves. In addition, the Dali Temple, the Jingji Yamen, the Jinwu Guard and other departments were all very concerned about this matter.
The original Dali Temple Shaoqing had an accident in Nanzhou, and now this new one has just taken office. Even though he was so anxious that his mouth was covered with blisters, he still got nothing...
late at night.
Cheng Xu, the Junior Official of the Dali Temple, was still looking through the files when he heard a noise coming from the courtyard outside.
He was startled and immediately stood up and walked out, "Who?!"
There was nothing in the yard.
Cheng Xu frowned, looked around, turned back to the house, and saw a few more pieces of paper on the table.
He immediately stepped forward, and his brows furrowed...
the next day.
Cheng Xu, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, reported the eldest princess Xiao Ning to the court in the morning, accusing her of harming her younger brother Xiao Hong in revenge for the wedding banquet.
And presented relevant evidence.
During the morning court session, Cheng and Xu spoke every word in a sonorous voice, but after the emperor looked at the evidence, he did not make any further comments.
But the news spread very quickly, and the whole capital was talking about it.
Xie Yao and Xiao Ji naturally learned the news soon.
"What now?" she asked Sinan.
Si Nan said: "The eldest princess has now knelt outside the Yangxin Palace and said that she is innocent."
Xiao Ning was truly innocent of the incident of breaking Xiao Hong's finger.
Xie Yao subconsciously looked at Xiao Ji on the side, and met His Highness's gaze. There was no trace of guilt in those eyes.
"Does Xiao Hong know about this?" Xiao Ji asked, "Since it concerns him, he should know."
Si Nan nodded, "I already know, and I'm making a fuss about entering the palace."
Because of the last finger severed incident, the Jinwu Guards no longer dared to ignore Xiao Hong as they did before.
But if Xiao Hong, a "commoner", wanted to enter the palace, he really couldn't.
Xie Yao looked at Xiao Ji, "Your Highness, this is a serious matter. Father will definitely be angry. As children, we should persuade him to take care of his health."
Xiao Ji nodded in agreement, "What the Crown Princess said is very true."
Si Nan felt a chill on his back and had a bad feeling. He quickly turned around to arrange the carriage.
Xie Yao then looked at Xiao Ji, "Thank you, Your Highness."
She knows it all.
From Xie Yao's subconscious glance just now, Xiao Ji already had a guess in his mind, and now he was sure.
"Yaoyao." He picked up the cloak on one side and tied it carefully for Xie Yao, "You don't have to thank me."
Xie Yao was pregnant with their common child, so protecting her was his duty.
Besides...
Xiao Ji fastened the laces, and took her into his arms. He lowered his head and bit her ear, "Yaoyao knows what I like more."
Xie Yao's face flushed, she glared at him, turned around and walked out quickly.
When Xie Yao and Xiao Ji's carriage arrived at the palace gate, Xiao Hong was also there.
The Jinwu Guards stood aside and looked at each other, feeling helpless. The guards guarding the palace gate stopped Xiao Hong from entering.
"Get out of the way, you dogs!"
Xiao Hong still had the same demeanor as when he was the second prince, and he was extremely arrogant. "I must go in today!"
Xiao Ning, good Xiao Ning!
He wants Xiao Ning to die!
The guards stopped Xiao Hong and saluted to Xie Yao and Xiao Ji, "Your Highness, Crown Prince, Crown Princess."
Xiao Ji nodded and helped Xie Yao get off the carriage.
Si Nan said to the guards, "Take him away quickly. Swords have no eyes. If you hurt the Second Young Master, you..."
brush--
Before Si Nan could finish his words, Xiao Hong unexpectedly pulled out the sword from the guard's waist.
Then, he laid it across his neck.
"Everyone, step back!" Xiao Hong said fiercely, "If you don't let me enter the palace, I will kill myself here."
"When the time comes, each of you will be buried with me!"
The whole audience was silent.
The guards didn't dare to speak at all.
What Xiao Hong said... is really possible.
After all, even the commander of the Jinwu Guards was punished because of the severed finger, let alone them?
Under such circumstances, Xiao Hong held his sword and headed straight for the Yangxin Palace.
Xiao Ji and Xie Yao naturally followed closely behind.
From a distance, one could see Xiao Ning kneeling in the main hall outside the Palace of Tranquil Longevity. She looked a little thin and was kneeling straight.
"Father, I have never done that."
"fart!"
Xiao Hong rushed forward angrily and interrupted Xiao Ning, "Xiao Ning, don't treat everyone as a fool. I already know it, it's you!"
Xiao Hong raised his hand and pointed at Xiao Ning. The tip of the sword reflected the sunlight, looking cold and eerie.
Seeing this, Xiao Ning's eyes flickered, "Someone must have slandered me! I didn't do this! How could I possibly harm you?"
Xiao Hong sneered, "Bitch! You are the one who wants to hurt me the most!"
"presumptuous."
The emperor was supported by Li Dajian and walked out of the Yangxin Palace. "Xiao Hong, what are you doing? Pointing a sword at your sister?"
"Father." Xiao Hong felt wronged and angry, "Xiao Ning hurt me."
"Then you can't point the sword at her, put it down." The emperor's tone was grim, and it was clear that he had already made a judgment in his mind.
Xiao Hong couldn't hear it, he felt even more aggrieved and turned his head away without looking at the emperor.
Xiao Ning clenched her hands into fists under her sleeves, and a hint of mockery flashed in her slightly lowered eyes. She raised her eyes again and looked at Xiao Hong, "Hong'er, this matter really has nothing to do with me. Someone framed me—"
Before Xiao Ning finished speaking, Xiao Hong raised his sword and stabbed it straight at Xiao Ning's heart.
Xiao Ji subconsciously protected Xie Yao.
The couple had clearly seen that while Xiao Ning was explaining, she was showing a provocative expression to Xiao Hong out of the emperor's sight.
She did it on purpose.
Xiao Ning didn't even avoid the tip of Xiao Hong's sword, but instead took the initiative to meet it.
She just moved it slightly to make sure it was pierced at her shoulder and arm.
She couldn't really die.
In a flash, Xiao Ning was waiting for a "torture trick" to make the court officials and the emperor completely disappointed in Xiao Hong.
But she saw a figure blocking her way at a faster speed.
Phew!
It was the sound of a long sword piercing into the body.
Xiao Ning raised her eyes.
She only saw the man in front of her give her a smile and said with a look of relief: "Fortunately, Your Highness... you're fine."
