Chapter 265: Controlling Shanshan, the love engraved in the bones
Si Bei looked at Shan Shan, snorted, and then stepped back.
Soon, Xie Yao and Shan Shan were the only ones left here.
Shanshan was wearing an indigo blue dress, and her head, hands, feet, neck and even clothes were all covered with sparkling silver ornaments.
As she walked, a crisp sound was made.
Xie Yao didn't say anything else. She looked at her and praised, "It's really beautiful."
Shanshan: "..."
Xie Yao's eyes were full of admiration, which made Shan Shan embarrassed. She was also very rich when she left the village, but later she lost a lot when she was chased by Si Bei and fled.
Now, all of these were newly made for her by Xie Yao’s orders. They are more numerous and more exquisite than before.
Now, there are two words written all over Shanshan: valuable!
"I know you had these made, but I deserve them, right? I saved Xiao Ji!" Shan Shan's meaning was very clear: don't try to use these favors to control her.
Xie Yao was not annoyed, but nodded with a smile, "Yes, you deserve it."
Shan Shan was speechless for a moment. She felt a little frightened by Xie Yao's smile. Xie Yao's smile must be no good!
"Then move aside and let me go home." Shan Shan decided to leave first as a sign of respect. Although she thought Xie Yao was a nice person, she still didn't want to stay with her for long.
"Are you really leaving?" Xie Yao asked.
Shan Shan nodded, her tone extremely firm, "You really have to leave!"
"Okay." Xie Yao said: "If you insist on leaving, I won't keep you, but..."
Xie Yao's elongated ending successfully slowed down Shan Shan's joyful departure. Shan Shan turned around and looked at Xie Yao with doubt in her eyes, "Just what? You don't want to regret it, do you?"
"How could that be?" Xie Yao asked in surprise, "I just wanted to say that I have found the person who poisoned His Highness, and I also wanted to ask her if she has such a witchcraft poison..."
Xie Yao's speech slowed down, and she successfully saw Shanshan's eyes suddenly become bright.
Shan Shan stopped and smiled widely, "I've thought about it carefully. Xiao Ji's body hasn't fully recovered yet. It would be irresponsible for me to leave now!"
"Really?" Xie Yao hesitated, "But... this won't delay you, right?"
Shanshan shook her head like a rattle, "No need to delay! This is all part of my job! Um, who was the person who poisoned you? Did you find out anything from the interrogation? If you can't find out, I can help!"
When she said the last sentence, Shanshan's tone was a little grim.
Obviously, her help was not so friendly, at least to the person who poisoned her.
Xie Yao looked at Shan Shan with a smile.
Shan Shan said righteously, "What kind of look is that? I'm trying to help you!" After a pause, she moved closer to Xie Yao, "Xie Yao, you're not lying to me, are you?"
Xie Yao said: "We did find the person." But she couldn't guarantee anything else.
But Shan Shan, who was so excited, obviously didn't hear the hidden meaning of Xie Yao's words. At this moment, she smiled with curved eyebrows and nodded repeatedly, saying: "Good, good, good, great!"
"Not leaving?" Xie Yao asked.
Shan Shan said firmly: "I'm not leaving!"
"Xie Yao, don't stop me, I must stay to help you and Xiao Ji!"
Xie Yao laughed, then quickly turned serious again. She looked at Shan Shan seriously and said, "There is indeed something I need your help with."
Shan Shan: “…I knew it.”
"Then can I help you by showing you the person who poisoned Xiao Ji? Don't worry, I promise I won't do anything else..."
"That's the favor." Xie Yao interrupted Shan Shan and said affirmatively, "I just hope you can use your means to help me get something out of her."
Shan Shan immediately rubbed his hands together and patted his chest, saying, "Leave it to me, I'm good at this!"
"Okay." Xie Yao came to her because she believed in Shan Shan. "I'll let you know when I have arranged everything. Don't worry, I won't keep you waiting too long. It will be in the next few days."
Shanshan's big round eyes instantly narrowed into slits due to smiling, and she subconsciously wanted to hug Xie Yao, but was stopped when she approached Xie Yao.
Shan Shan immediately stopped what she was doing and gave Xie Yao a naive smile, "Xie Yao, you are such a nice person!"
Xie Yao felt nothing when she saw this.
She is a sweet and innocent girl who is good at smiling and seems harmless, but Xie Yao knows that this girl's personal likes and dislikes are more important than the law, and she needs to be corrected. If you really believe her appearance, then you are crazy!
When Zhu Qing and others appeared again, Shan Shan's expression had completely changed, and she smiled brighter than a flower in front of Xie Yao.
Zhu Qing and Si Bei were speechless watching.
Shan Shan was not embarrassed at all, and said with a smile: "Xie Yao, I'll wait for your good news~"
Then he walked happily towards the yard where she lived.
"The Crown Princess is so powerful!" Zhu Qing looked at Xie Yao with admiration in his eyes. Shan Shan had been making such a fuss just now, but the Crown Princess easily controlled her.
Xie Yao looked at her helplessly and amusedly, and said, "Go and order some more silver jewelry for Shanshan."
"Ah?" Zhu Qing opened his eyes wide in surprise.
Xie Yao said: "When she dresses up...she looks really pretty."
Shanshan is not tall and looks childish, with fair skin and big eyes... Although there is not much difference in age between them, Xie Yao always feels that Shanshan is like a child.
Very cute.
Zhu Qing: “…Yes.”
Xie Yao sent Zhaozhao and Suisui back to their residence, and then began to deal with the real business.
She didn't take the initiative to find Xiao Ji, she was waiting.
At dinner time that day, when Xiao Ji once again overcame all difficulties and showed up at the Prince's Mansion, Xie Yao knew that she had been waiting for something.
"Your Highness." Xie Yao changed into a refreshing outfit, less refined and noble than usual, "Dinner is ready, please come in."
Xiao Ji hesitated for a moment and then stepped into the door.
The food on the table was richer than yesterday, and all of it was his favorite.
He sat down, not daring to look at Xie Yao. Xie Yao originally had a proud figure, which became even better after she became pregnant and gave birth. Her whole body exuded an aura that attracted him.
Xiao Ji was afraid that if he looked at him any longer, he would lose his mind.
"I'm sorry." Xiao Ji said, "This should be what I promised you in the past, but I don't remember it now..."
"Your Highness, there is no need to apologize." Xie Yao said, "Although Your Highness doesn't remember, you come here every day. I am already very happy."
Xiao Ji frowned and hunched his body slightly.
Xie Yao immediately changed the subject, "Your Highness, do you still remember what happened before? The Imperial Master said that it was Concubine Li who secretly attacked the Queen Mother and planted the witchcraft poison."
When it comes to business, Xiao Ji's expression immediately becomes serious, and he nods and says, "Of course I remember."
"The Crown Princess mentioned this matter now, maybe she wants to..."
Xie Yao nodded. "Concubine Li is currently under house arrest in Weiyang Palace because she is suspected of murdering His Majesty. I think this is a good opportunity for us to ask her."
Xiao Ji frowned, "But if you ask her like that, she definitely won't tell you."
"Your Highness, don't forget Shanshan." Xie Yao picked up a piece of food for Xiao Ji with chopsticks. "Shanshan is good at poison, so she will definitely find a way to make Concubine Li speak."
Xiao Ji was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized something.
He really forgot.
It’s not that he doesn’t believe in Shanshan’s ability, but because of the loss of her memory, he subconsciously feels a little resistant to Shanshan.
Although this matter cannot be blamed on Shanshan.
"She... has a perverse temperament and disregards the rules. Can she be trusted?" It is obvious that Xiao Ji trusts Shanshan's ability but does not trust her character.
"Don't worry, Your Highness." Xie Yao explained, "Shanshan is very interested in whether Concubine Li has other witchcraft of this kind, and she will definitely do her job well."
Xiao Ji has no memory, and to him, Xie Yao is just a familiar stranger. He doesn't know much about Xie Yao, but...
Seeing Xie Yao's excited and confident look when she mentioned these things, he believed it!
He doesn't believe in Shanshan, but believes in Xie Yao.
"In that case, I'll trouble the Crown Princess." Xiao Ji suppressed the thoughts in his mind in time to prevent his heart from exploding from the pain, and he endured the discomfort and said politely.
Although Xie Yao was worried, she didn't dare to say anything rashly for fear of backfiring.
He could only fill a bowl of soup and push it in front of Xiao Ji, whispering: "Your Highness, if you really feel uncomfortable, you don't have to come to the Prince's Mansion to have dinner with me every day."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Ji suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes were bloodshot and his forehead was covered with fine sweat, "No."
"I've lost my memory and I'm really sorry for you. How can I easily go back on my promise?"
He looked at Xie Yao's red eyes full of heartache. He almost fainted from the pain, but he still managed a pale smile, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt."
