Chapter 18 The Crown Princess is an exception
A few days passed, and it was almost time for Mr. Qingshan to accept a disciple.
Song Wenbo finally realized something was wrong.
After he sobered up, he asked Xie Yujiao, "Madam, why hasn't the Cui family sent anyone yet?" Let him meet the teacher first.
Xie Yujiao thought Song Wenbo was just worried, so she smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, my husband. Mr. Qingshan values you so much that he specially held a banquet for you to become his teacher. Maybe he is busy now."
Song Wenbo nodded and said, "Madam, what you said makes sense."
Seeing Xie Yujiao's extremely confident look, Song Wenbo felt relieved and asked again, "Madam, have you prepared the clothes I will wear on the day of my apprenticeship?"
That was his big day, so of course he had to appear in great style.
"Don't worry, my husband. Everything is ready." Xie Yujiao ordered someone to bring the clothes. "My husband, please take a look."
She spent a lot of money on this dress!
The fabric of Shu brocade is extremely valuable, and it is embroidered with gold and silver threads. Song Wenbo was very satisfied with it.
"Thank you for your hard work, ma'am."
He held Xie Yujiao's hand with a gentle expression and affectionate eyes.
Xie Yujiao blushed slightly when she was looked at. "Tomorrow is my husband's big day. I just hope that my husband will be well. It's not hard to do these for my husband."
Song Wenbo sighed softly and embraced Xie Yujiao, "With a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for?"
"Husband." Xie Yujiao whispered, "After returning home tomorrow, you can stay in the main house."
She is inviting.
This time she was taken back to the Song family, and her life was more comfortable than before. The old hag no longer made trouble, and her husband was gentle and considerate to her.
The only problem is, she's having a little fun.
But tomorrow I will be clean.
Song Wenbo quickly understood what Xie Yujiao meant. He thought to himself that the princess had been staying in the palace these days and had no time to look for him...
Song Wenbo said, "Okay."
…
Prince's Mansion.
"Crown Princess." Yuyan's voice sounded outside, "The court doctor is here to check your pulse."
The palace physician is responsible for checking the pulse of the master of the palace regularly.
Xie Yao nodded slightly at Zhu Xin.
Soon the palace doctor came in and after carefully examining Xie Yao's pulse, he said, "The Crown Princess has recovered very well and is in very good health."
"It's just that the Crown Princess may have an obsession in her heart. If she is too obsessed, it will hurt herself. The Crown Princess should be more cheerful."
“…”
The court doctor withdrew his hand and gave careful instructions.
At the same time, put the hand pillow used for taking the pulse back into the medicine box.
"Thank you, Doctor Guan." Xie Yao thanked him first, and then asked casually, "Has Doctor Guan examined Your Highness? How is Your Highness' health?"
The question was not an overstep, but Xie Yao felt a little guilty.
Doctor Guan paused, lowered his eyes and smiled, "Your Highness's injury is fine, Crown Princess, don't worry."
The answer is not relevant to the question.
Xie Yao was about to ask again when the maid Cherry's voice came from the courtyard, "Your Highness."
Everyone stood up and looked outside.
Xiao Ji, who had been standing in the courtyard for some time, nodded slightly and strode into the house. "Everyone, please leave. No one is allowed to come in without my order."
Everyone responded and left, and soon only Xie Yao and Xiao Ji were left in the room.
"Your Highness."
Xie Yao bowed and saluted, feeling a little surprised.
Ever since she mentioned it last time, Xiao Ji has been going to the main courtyard for dinner every day, but today he obviously came early.
Xiao Ji hummed and motioned Xie Yao to sit down.
"The Dali Temple has tried every possible means, but Manager Ding just said that he was greedy for money and no one was instigating him." Xiao Ji said in a steady voice, looking at Xie Yao, "What do you think, Crown Princess?"
Xie Yao did not answer immediately, but asked: "Your Highness has not found any clues?"
Xiao Ji did not answer, but just looked at Xie Yao with a complicated expression.
But he himself couldn't see it, but his eyes, which used to be dull and lifeless, now became more lively than before.
Xie Yao thought for a moment and said, "Even if there is no evidence, Your Highness must have some guesses in his mind."
The house became quiet.
After a long while, Xiao Ji finally said, "Two days before the wedding, there were a few more people around the Prince's Mansion, following a few managers named Ding from the Prince's Mansion."
Xie Yao lowered her eyes: Exposed!
Xiao Ji said: "One of the people who fanned the flames in the Song Wenbo incident was seen by Si Nan around the Prince's Mansion."
"Although this person has already left the capital, he is... the Crown Princess's man."
Xiao Ji was not asking, but stating.
"Did you know that Steward Ding had a problem?"
Xie Yao pondered how to respond.
Just as Xiao Ji said, this person has already left Beijing and it is not easy to find him back, so she could just deny it outright.
but……
"I just found out by chance." Xie Yao looked at Xiao Ji honestly.
When she was a human candle, she heard Xiao Ning and Song Wenbo talking after hanging out. How could it not be considered a coincidence?
Xiao Ji's expression suddenly became more complicated. "Do you know that if this matter were known to others, you..."
"I'm not afraid." Xie Yao's voice was clear, and her eyes were full of trust as she looked at Xiao Ji, "I have His Highness!"
"Your Highness will protect me, right?"
Xiao Ji was stunned.
There seemed to be a new flame in Xie Yao's eyes, as if it was going to burn him to ashes. Xiao Ji looked away in embarrassment.
He clenched his hands into fists under his sleeves and his whole body suddenly became tense.
Still with some reluctance.
"I won't let anyone find you in this matter." When Xiao Ji's voice sounded again, it became cold again.
Xie Yao had a hunch that something was wrong.
Maybe... this is the reason why Xiao Ji died young in his previous life?
But it was obvious that Xiao Ji was not going to tell her.
The couple finished their dinner in silence, each with their own thoughts. Xiao Ji stood up and prepared to leave.
"Your Highness."
Xie Yao called him, "Your Highness, would you like to go to Cui's house with me tomorrow?"
Go see a big show!
Xiao Ji nodded, "Okay."
Xiao Ji left the main courtyard and said to Si Nan who was following him, "Did you clean up the mess I asked you to make?"
Before speaking to Xie Yao, he had already told Si Nan about the matter.
Si Nan immediately said respectfully, "Your Highness, everything has been cleaned up, and no one will ever find out about the Crown Princess."
Xiao Ji did not respond and walked forward in silence.
Si Nan hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness, are you really not going to tell the Crown Princess? The Crown Princess..."
"You're too talkative."
Xiao Ji glanced at Si Nan lightly, his eyes full of warning.
Sinan shut up immediately.
All the way back to the study.
Xiao Ji stopped at the door of the study and frowned.
There's someone in the study!
Si Nan took the initiative to step forward and was very surprised when he saw the situation in the study room. "Cherry? Why are you here?"
The person in the study was Cherry, a maid who served in the main courtyard of the Prince's Mansion.
Yingtao quickly put down the work in her hands, looked at Xiao Ji who was standing by the door, and knelt down to salute, "Yingtao greets His Highness."
Xiao Ji frowned and said in a cold voice, "Who allowed you to come in?"
Cherry's body stiffened slightly, her cheeks flushed, "I thought that Your Highness had been staying in the study recently, and someone was needed to clean it..."
"Get out." Xiao Ji's expression did not ease.
Cherry's eyes turned red, she bit her lower lip lightly, covered her face and ran out.
Si Nan hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness, perhaps it was the Crown Princess's order..."
"She won't." Xiao Ji said decisively, "From now on, no one will be allowed to enter the study at will."
However, he had already promised Xie Yao that she could come to the study to look for medical books.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Ji said, "Except the Crown Princess..."
