Chapter 117: Prince 2 kills Xiao Ning
The court doctor left the main courtyard in confusion.
As soon as the talent left, Xie Yao looked at Xiao Ji, "Your Highness..."
Xiao Ji patted the back of Xie Yao's hand and said, "I'm fine."
Xie Yao only knew that he was born to be lonely, and had no idea that there were other reasons for his physical condition. Xiao Ji did not want to tell the Crown Princess about this at this time.
The Crown Princess is still pregnant, how can she worry about his affairs?
Xie Yao's eyes flickered, and she didn't ask any more questions, just leaning in Xiao Ji's arms.
Xiao Ji comforted Xie Yao and returned to the study.
He looked over the papers that had been sorted on the table one by one, and after confirming that there were no problems, he handed them to Si Nan and said, "Send them quietly to the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple."
Si Nan didn't dare to peek, and bowed his head respectfully, "Yes, Your Highness."
Since he said that he would not let anyone go, he naturally had to do what he said.
Xiao Hong paid the price, and now... it's the next person's turn.
Martial law was imposed in Beijing for several days.
Pei Chen led the 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 former Dali Temple Shaoqing had run into trouble in Nanzhou, and now this new one had just taken office. Even though he was so anxious that his mouth was covered in blisters, he still achieved nothing...
late at night.
Cheng Xu, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, was still looking through the files when he heard a sound 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 and looked around, then turned back to the house, only to see a few more pieces of paper on the table.
He immediately stepped forward, his brow furrowed...
the next day.
Cheng Xu, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, implicated the eldest princess Xiao Ning during the morning court session, 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 with great force, but after the emperor reviewed the evidence, he withheld his opinion.
But the news spread at an extremely fast speed, and the whole capital was talking about it.
Xie Yao and Xiao Ji naturally learned the news soon.
"What now?" she asked Sinan.
Sinan 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 her 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 going to the palace."
Because of the last finger-severing 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. The Emperor will surely be angry. As his children, we should persuade him to take care of his health."
Xiao Ji nodded in agreement, "What the Crown Princess said is absolutely right."
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 had already guessed it in his mind, and now he was sure of it.
"Yaoyao." He picked up the cloak on the 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 tied the laces, then took her into his arms 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 looking at each other, feeling helpless, while the guards at the palace gate stopped Xiao Hong from entering.
"Get out of the way, you dogs!"
Xiao Hong still had the same demeanor as 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 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, "Hurry up and take him away! Swords and knives have no eyes. If you hurt the Second Young Master..."
brush--
Before Si Nan could finish his words, Xiao Hong unexpectedly drew the sword from the guard's waist.
Then, he placed it across his neck.
"Everyone, step back!" Xiao Hong said fiercely, "If you don't let me into the palace, I will kill myself right here."
"When the time comes, each and every one of you will be buried with me!"
There was silence.
The guards didn't dare to speak at all.
What Xiao Hong said... is really possible.
After all, even the commander of the Jinwu Guard was punished because of the severed finger, let alone them?
Under such circumstances, Xiao Hong held his sword and headed straight towards 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 Yangxin Palace. She looked a little thin and was kneeling straight.
"Father, I have never done this."
"fart!"
Xiao Hong rushed forward angrily and interrupted Xiao Ning, "Xiao Ning, don't treat everyone as fools. 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, and it was cold and eerie.
Seeing this, Xiao Ning's eyes flickered. "Someone must have slandered me! This was not my doing! How could I possibly harm you?"
Xiao Hong sneered, "Bitch! You're 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 stern, and it was clear that he had already made a judgment in his mind.
Xiao Hong couldn't hear it, and he felt even more aggrieved, so he turned his head away and didn't look 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—"
Before Xiao Ning could finish her words, Xiao Hong raised his sword and thrust it straight towards Xiao Ning's heart.
Xiao Ji subconsciously protected Xie Yao.
The couple had just clearly seen that while Xiao Ning was explaining herself, she was showing a provocative expression to Xiao Hong in a place where the emperor could not see.
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 on her shoulder and arm.
She couldn't really die.
In the blink of an eye, 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.
puff!
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 forced smile, and said with a look of relief: "Fortunately, Your Highness... is fine."
