Chapter 300 Xiao An Goes Crazy
Chapter 300 Xiao An Goes Crazy
Xie Yao's carriage arrived at the palace gate smoothly.
As they were about to reach the Yangxin Palace, Si Bei suddenly spoke up, "Crown Princess, please have your subordinates inform His Highness of this matter."
Ok?
Xie Yao looked at Si Bei in surprise.
She had just looked disgusted and resisted, so why was she volunteering now? But Xie Yao felt that it was not a good idea for her to say so.
He stopped outside the Yangxin Palace and said to Si Bei, "Okay, go ahead."
She waited outside first.
Not long after, Si Bei came out and said, "Crown Princess, His Highness invites you in."
Xie Yao nodded slightly and stepped into the room.
Xiao Ji's expression was hard to describe. He took a deep breath and felt that even the air in the Yangxin Palace was polluted by Si Bei's words just now.
Xiao An and Xiao Ning...it turned out that they couldn't have a single day of peace.
Xiao An attacked Xiao Ning last night, and today Xiao Ning retaliated.
He didn't know what to say.
"There's no need to tell my aunt about what happened today, so as not to pollute her ears." Xiao Ji discussed with Xie Yao.
Xie Yao nodded immediately, "Your Highness is right, I think so too."
They are both princes and princesses, and it's a royal scandal. Even if the eldest princess knew about it, it would be impossible for her to punish the two people who were hit at the same time. Don't let this matter make you angry.
After all... because Xiao An had lost some function, his position in this ridiculous incident was much more embarrassing than Xiao Hong's last time.
Xie Yao readily changed the subject and mentioned the letter that Xiao Ning had sent.
After listening to Xie Yao's words, Xiao Ji's eyes were almost filled with admiration.
One reason was that Xie Yao went to the palace to share Xiao An's affairs with Xiao Ji, and the other was to show it to Xiao Ning.
In addition to putting on an act in front of Xiao Ning, she must have also discussed with Xiao Ji whether to give in to Xiao Ning's request.
Xie Yao finished talking about Zhao Ying.
Xiao Ji reached out and held Xie Yao's hand. Xie Yao was slightly startled, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, she hummed, and followed Xiao Ji's direction.
Xiao Ji pulled her to the desk and handed a letter on the desk to Xie Yao.
Xie Yao took it subconsciously, and then reacted. She lowered her eyes slightly, tightened her grip on the envelope, and looked up at Xiao Ji, "Your Highness, this..."
Xie Yao's subconscious action had already given Xiao Ji the answer, and his guess was correct.
He just lost a piece of memory and didn't become stupid, so he knew very well what decision he would make in such a situation.
In the past, he indeed had high hopes for the Crown Princess.
Xiao Ji's expression remained unchanged as he said, "It's a letter from the northern border, delivered by lightning, and it just arrived today."
He had just read it. If Xie Yao had not entered the palace, he would have sent someone to deliver the message to the Prince's Mansion.
Only then did Xie Yao take out the letter from the opened envelope.
Originally, the Northern Frontier had captured two cities in a row, and the soldiers in the northern border were already in great chaos. Although the Northern Frontier did not capture the third city, everyone was very panicked.
As for Pei Chen, he just arrived in the northern border and successfully stabilized the morale of the army and quickly stabilized the war situation in the northern border.
Pei Chen fought a battle with Beijiang and won.
This is also one of the reasons why Xie Yao and Xiao Ji proposed to cooperate directly with Prince Huyan, and Prince Huyan agreed without any hesitation.
Second Prince Huyan saw the strength of Xiao Ji's side, which was not comparable to Xiao Ning who had no military power.
As for whether the ferocity of the Xia soldiers would be bad news for Northern Xinjiang... that was something that Second Prince Huyan would need to consider after he became the master of Northern Xinjiang.
At this stage, he wants to compete for the position of emperor, so the stronger the ally, the better.
After Huyan Yuan was imprisoned, the Second Prince Huyan released the people of one of the cities as promised, and secretly discussed the next arrangements with Pei Chen and others.
The war situation in the north stabilized, and Xie Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
"It has to be the Marquis of Zhenbei." Xie Yao sighed, "However, when this letter was delivered, the Marquis of Zhenbei probably didn't know about Sister Ying's disappearance yet."
"Yes." Xiao Ji nodded, "I have already told him about this in my reply letter."
Instead of waiting for Xiao Ning's threat, he might as well let Lightning send a message back first. This would prevent Pei Chen from being threatened and having no idea of the situation, and then being worried.
Xie Yao had no objection.
Although this matter is risky, Pei Chen is a smart man. Even if he is worried, it will not affect the overall situation.
After they finished talking about business, Xie Yao realized that her hand was still held by Xiao Ji.
The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she said, "Your Highness, are you feeling okay?"
Xiao Ji held her hand tightly and said, "Very good."
Xie Yao: "..." I always feel that Your Highness is answering the wrong question?
"Your Highness, something happened!" At this moment, the voice of Li Dajian came from outside.
Xie Yao and Xiao Ji looked at each other and were both shocked. Xie Yao quickly withdrew her hand from Xiao Ji's palm.
At the same time, Xiao Ji said to the outsider, "Come in and talk."
Li Dajian lowered his head and walked in quickly. "Your Highness, Crown Prince, Crown Princess. I just received news that the Third Prince, for some reason, lost his temper and killed seven or eight people in the Third Prince's mansion with a knife. He also tried to force his way out of the Third Prince's mansion, but was stopped by the Jinwu Guards."
"But during the dispute... His Royal Highness the Third Prince injured himself."
Xiao Ji: "..."
He already knew what had happened to Xiao An, and knew that Xiao An would probably lose his temper, but to lose his temper like this...
He still underestimated Xiao An.
He took a deep breath and said, "Find a doctor to treat his injuries, compensate those he killed, and give them a proper burial."
"Also." Xiao Ji paused and said, "Pass on my order. If Xiao An doesn't behave himself, he will be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison."
Just as Li Dajian went down to deliver the order, Si Nan hurried over again, "Your Highness, the Third Prince caused quite a stir at the gate of the mansion today. I'm afraid the news has spread."
This wasn't like last night in the Sky Prison where they could still keep their mouths shut. Plus, it involved Xiao Ning, so even if someone knew about it, they wouldn't dare reveal it.
Even if it is a rumor, no one dares to name names.
After all, who would dare to laugh at the princess's joke?
But today, the Third Prince had a quarrel with the Jinwu Guards at the gate of the Third Prince's Mansion, and many people saw it...
Xiao Ji raised his hand and pinched his brows, saying, "It seems that being confined to the mansion is still too free. Let's confine him to his yard."
"Yes." Si Nan immediately turned around to pass on the order.
Xie Yao also knew that after the Third Prince had caused such a thing, the court officials would definitely not be able to remain calm.
"Your Highness, please be busy now. I will go see my aunt and then leave the palace."
"Okay." Xiao Ji's voice instantly became gentle. He watched Xie Yao leave, and when he looked away, there was only coldness in his heavy eyes.
After Xie Yao left the side hall, her expression turned somewhat ugly.
Of course, she did it on purpose.
Although she was not sure if there were any of Xiao Ning's people here, she was dedicated and acted out her role to the fullest.
It was not until she reached the outside of the main hall that she managed to make her ugly expression look a little better and stepped into the main hall.
"Aunt." The eldest princess was still accompanying the emperor. Seeing Xie Yao, her brows relaxed a little. "Come and sit."
"Xiao An's matter..." The eldest princess sighed, "I've heard about it. He is truly absurd."
In the past, the emperor had actually intended to train Xiao An. At that time, she hadn't thought that Xiao An had such a big problem. But now it seems...
Xiao An is really not good enough.
Although what Xiao Ning did was not right.
The princess only knew the fact, not the reason. However, Xie Yao did not explain in detail. She only comforted her, "Aunt, don't be angry. His Highness has already ordered the severe punishment of the third brother."
"Hmph." The eldest princess snorted coldly, and her dissatisfaction was naturally directed at Xiao An.
After a while, she looked at Xie Yao with admiration and said, "I already know about Zhao girl's matter. You did a great job."
Xie Yao was not surprised. This time, she used the eldest princess's people to secretly search for Sister Ying based on the clues she got today.
With that warrant.
These people are definitely out of Xiao Ning's sight, and searching for them secretly will not alarm Xiao Ning.
Xie Yao smiled shyly, "Aunt, you are too kind. This is all part of my job. The most urgent thing is to find Sister Ying first."
The eldest princess nodded, patted Xie Yao's hand soothingly, and said, "Crown Princess and I will go to Fengming Palace."
Fengming Palace is the eldest princess's residence in the palace.
Xie Yao readily agreed, stood up, supported the eldest princess, and walked towards Fengming Palace with her.
From a distance, Xie Yao saw a figure kneeling in Fengming Hall.
This person was wearing a goose yellow dress, and judging from the back she should be a young girl, but Xie Yao did not think she looked familiar, probably because she had never seen her before.
Instead, Suqin, who was standing behind the eldest princess, whispered, "Crown Princess, this person is the second young lady of the Xuan family."
