Chapter 121 The Daughter of a Guilty Minister vs. the Disabled Prince 35
The Eighth Prince came to give the cat away. He reluctantly placed Xiao Xiao in Ji Yunhuan's arms and whispered:
"My mother said that my father has secretly visited Concubine Wu several times and will release her soon. Sister Xiaoyun, you must be careful. Tell my brother to be careful too. Don't let her harm you."
"I sent Xiao Xiao here because I was afraid that Concubine Wu would catch the cats and dogs in the palace again after she came out. I'll leave Xiao Xiao in your care."
Ji Yunhuan played with Xiaoxiao for the whole afternoon and made a soft cat bed for her. Xiaoxiao was very clingy and refused to leave her, so she put the cat bed in the house.
Xiao Yan didn't come back until night fell. Ji Yunhuan forced himself to stay awake and waited at the gate of the East Palace with a small lamp in hand.
"Xia Yang, go to Zhengyang Palace and find out why His Highness hasn't come back yet. If he has angered the Emperor, have him pretend to be sick and faint, and bring him back first."
"Hey! I'll go right away!" Xia Yang walked a few steps and saw the eldest prince coming back. He said in surprise, "Your Highness, you are finally back. You don't know how worried Miss Xiaoyun was. She has been waiting for you at the door."
In fact, Ji Yunhuan only stood for less than a cup of tea, so he didn't feel tired.
Xiao Yan dragged his tired body back, his heart filled with anger, resentment, gloom, hatred... the suppressed emotions almost drowned him.
But the moment he saw Xiaoyun, the dim light seemed to illuminate his dark and twisted heart. He suddenly calmed down, and a soft look gradually appeared in his eyes.
He touched Xiaoyun's hand and asked, "Why are you standing outside in such a cold day?"
Ji Yunhuan smiled at Xiao Yan, "I'm not cold. I'm wearing a fox fur coat and I'm warm. But you, your hands are as cold as ice."
There was always a steaming hot pot in the small kitchen. The soup base was prepared by Ji Yunhuan herself, and the beef was also cut by Ji Yunhuan herself. Xiao Yan ate to his heart's content, and all the fatigue of the whole day was swept away.
"Hic~ Xiaoyun's cooking is still the best for me, but I can't bear to see you working so hard every day."
Ji Yunhuan took Xiao Yan's chopsticks and said, "Alright, stop eating. You've eaten too much at night and have indigestion. The base of the pot is prepared and can be used next time. Whenever Your Highness wants to eat, just take it out and cook it."
After washing up, Xiao Yan came out from behind the screen and was about to carry Xiaoyun to bed to rest, when a tabby cat appeared out of nowhere and jumped into Xiaoyun's arms first.
"Meow meow meow~" Xiaoxiao curled up in Ji Yunhuan's arms and waved her little paws at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan was extremely disgusted, "Where did this ugly thing come from?"
Ji Yunhuan comforted the frightened Xiao Xiao and explained, "It was sent by the Eighth Prince. How can it be ugly? I think it's quite cute."
Xiao Yan then noticed that there was a cat bed in the house. "Go back to your own bed and sleep. If you keep pestering Xiao Yun, I will throw you out."
She let out a small "meow~" and before Xiao Yan's claws reached out, she slipped into her own nest, hiding herself tightly, not daring to show even a hair.
Ji Yunhuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She wanted to go over to see Xiaoxiao, but Xiao Yan picked her up sideways and started kissing her heavily. Ji Yunhuan's breathing became heavier. They fell on the bed, entangled with each other.
Ji Yunhuan was pregnant, so Xiao Yan didn't dare to do anything real and could only hold Xiaoyun to satisfy his craving.
"Your Highness~ Stop kissing me! It's so itchy~ Let go, I can't do that, I really can't do that! Can you please stop making trouble? I can't stand it anymore..."
Ji Yunhuan covered her head with the quilt. The afterglow had not yet faded away. She blushed with shame and refused to pay any attention to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan wiped Xiao Yun clean and said with a smile: "Food and sex are human nature. You don't want to help me, so is it not enough for me to help you? Are you really ignoring me? Then you should also come out and take a breath, don't keep yourself depressed."
Ji Yunhuan hid under the quilt and said nothing.
Xiao Yan added: "Today the emperor has given a generous reward to the Wu family. Wu Xin will follow the Chiyou tribe's delegation to the grassland to negotiate peace..."
Before he finished speaking, Ji Yunhuan threw back the quilt and sat up. "What? Is the emperor crazy? Hasn't the female assassin been caught yet? Why are we starting to negotiate peace?"
Xiao Yan wrapped Xiao Yun in a blanket and let Xiao Yun lean on him. He kissed Xiao Yun on the face and chuckled, "Xiao Yun finally came out. I thought you would never talk to me again."
Ji Yunhuan glared at Xiao Yan, "Your Highness, stop making trouble and get down to business."
Xiao Yan finally became serious, "Of course the female assassin was not caught. She had already escaped from the capital. How could those losers be able to catch the person I arranged?"
"That shameless bastard Wu Xin said that the Heavenly Khan has promised to kill the assassin and apologize to the Emperor of Xiao. Our Xiao is a great country, and we should have the tolerance of a great country. Let's just let this matter go."
"Xiao Qiping, this coward, had been thinking about peace talks for a long time. When Wu Xin offered him the way, he immediately agreed and summoned the envoys on the spot. The matter was hastily settled like this."
Ji Yunhuan was stunned. "This is too ridiculous. Isn't Wu Xin the general who protects the country? He got the title of general by fighting against the Chiyou tribe. Why would he be sent to negotiate peace? At least a civil servant should be sent."
Xiao Yan sneered, "That has to be someone who is willing to go. Either they are not of high status, or they are making excuses, so it takes until the evening. Civil servants value their reputation the most, and no one is willing to do something that will leave a bad reputation for eternity."
"Lord Tian even took sick leave and stayed at home. He had rashes all over his body and a high fever that wouldn't go away. He couldn't even get out of bed. The emperor wanted to force Lord Tian to go, but now he can only let Wu Xin go alone."
Ji Yunhuan understood that Ye Jueming must have been responsible, otherwise how could he have gotten sick at such a coincidence.
"Your Highness, don't worry too much. No matter how anxious the emperor is, peace talks will not be a matter of a day or two. The journey is long and anything could happen..."
Ji Yunhuan yawned, and as he spoke, he leaned into Xiao Yan's arms and fell into a deep sleep.
In the middle of the night, Ji Yunhuan woke up and went to the bathroom. Xiao Yan immediately opened his eyes and looked like he had not been asleep yet.
Xiao Yan insisted on carrying her to the bathroom, fearing that she would fall on the way and get hurt.
Ji Yunhuan couldn't persuade him and could only let Xiao Yan carry her over.
After a few more days, Ji Yunhuan felt that this was not a solution. Xiao Yan could not sleep well at all. In addition to taking care of her, Xiao Yan also had to plan big things secretly. If he continued like this, even the strongest body would not be able to bear it.
Ji Yunhuan tried using tranquilizers, but ordinary tranquilizers were ineffective on Xiao Yan. If strong medicine was used, he was worried that it would be harmful to his body.
After thinking it over, Ji Yunhuan decided to use the soul exchange again. Since Xiao Yan was worried about her, let Xiao Yan feel her physical condition. Xiao Yan should be relieved, right?
