After marrying the heirless prince, I gave birth to three children

Chapter 208 Xiao Ning noticed

Xie Yao had an instinctive reaction to danger and immediately dodged to the side while shouting, "Someone come!"

But the speed of this light and shadow is faster than the poisonous insect that flew out of Shanshan's body.

Fortunately, the distance was farther, giving Xie Yao enough time to react.

The light and shadow missed the target and landed on the table behind Xie Yao before quickly flying towards her.

It seemed as if he had set his sights on Xie Yao.

Ding--

The sword flashed and made a crisp sound, but the tiny shadow of light hit the sword swung by the secret guard arranged by Xiao Ji to protect Xie Yao.

"Crown Princess, step back." The secret guard was dressed in black, with a long sword drawn from its sheath. The sword light was sharp, blocking the attack of the poisonous insect.

Xie Yao naturally didn't try to be brave and retreated decisively. "It seems to have recognized my scent."

Xie Yao thought for a moment and threw the round fan in her hand in front of the secret guard.

The fan had been held in her hand for a long time, so it naturally picked up some of her scent. Perhaps because of the closer distance, the insect was actually confused and flew towards the fan.

call out!

In a flash, the secret guard slashed with his sword.

Finally, the poisonous insect was cut into two pieces, and its corpse fell on Xie Yao's round fan.

"I failed to provide adequate protection, Princess, please forgive me!" The secret guard sheathed his sword and knelt on one knee to apologize.

Xie Yao said: "I don't blame you, get up quickly."

She left Xie Cheng's room and ordered, "Go to the Prince's Mansion and invite the court doctor to thoroughly inspect this room."

She looked very unhappy.

What a nice Shanshan, what a nice Xie Yujiao.

It turns out that apart from the poison on Xie Yujiao, the poison on Xie Cheng's body is the key!

When the poisonous insect rushed towards her for the first time, she only felt that it was very close. If she took another step closer... no, not even half a step.

She's afraid she can't avoid it!

The poisonous insect placed with Xie Cheng is probably not a simple thing.

The court doctor came quickly, but Xiao Ji was even faster than him.

"Yaoyao!"

Before Xie Yao could react, she was hugged tightly in Xiao Ji's arms. He held her tightly, as if he was holding a treasure that had been lost and found again.

His whole body was shaking slightly, and even his voice was trembling.

Xie Yao's heart softened, and she hugged Xiao Ji with her backhand, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I'm fine."

Having said that, how could Xiao Ji feel at ease?

He was almost scared to death when he heard the news!

"Are you really okay?" He slowly let go of Xie Yao and looked her up and down. If they weren't outside, he would have checked her every inch.

Xie Yao nodded again, "Really? Thanks to the secret guard arranged by His Highness, he showed up in time and killed the poisonous insect."

Xiao Ji let out a long sigh and held her hand tightly, "It's all my fault. I should have stayed with you..."

"Your Highness, Crown Princess," the court physician's voice came, "This poisonous insect... I can't identify its species yet."

It is indeed more mysterious and more dangerous.

Xie Yao nodded to show that she understood, and asked the secret guard to carefully check Xie Cheng's house to make sure there were no other problems before she felt relieved.

Xie Yao then said to Xiao Ji, "Your Highness, are you relieved now?"

Xiao Ji nodded, but held Xie Yao's hand tightly.

Xie Yao thought about it and decided not to go in to see Xie Cheng. After all, the people who were "taking care" of Xie Cheng were all hers.

Before Xie Yao left the Xie family, she also reminded Xie Zhan about this matter, asking her to be careful.

And at the moment the insect was killed.

In a small courtyard somewhere in the capital, Shanshan, who was sitting inside the house, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood with a "pu" sound!

Her already pale face turned even paler. She raised the back of her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her lips, then looked in a certain direction, her sinister eyes filled with murderous intent.

actually……

Did she dodge it?

……

Even after they got on the carriage, Xiao Ji's hand was still tightly holding Xie Yao's, refusing to let go for a moment.

Xie Yao interlocked her fingers with him and rested her head on Xiao Ji's shoulder to make him feel at ease.

"Your Highness, are you relieved now?" Xie Yao asked with a smile.

Xiao Ji hummed.

In the next few days, Xiao Ji almost turned into a human pendant, wishing he could stay with Xie Yao all the time.

It was obvious that this incident really scared him.

He also summoned Si Bei once again and issued the order to kill Shan Shan again.

This time, Si Bei didn't hesitate at all. It was as if he had figured it out and he agreed immediately.

Early that morning, Xie Yao and Xiao Ji had just finished breakfast.

Si Nan hurried in with a pale face, "Your Highness, Si Dong has lost contact!"

Xie Yao and Xiao Ji suddenly looked at Si Nan, "What's going on?"

"The matter that Sidong is investigating is extremely important. It's not convenient to send messages every day, so we've decided to send messages every three days."

"Yesterday was the day for the message, but I didn't receive any message from Sidong. Sidong has always been reliable and prudent. I was worried that something was wrong, so I went to investigate immediately."

"I just learned that Sidong hasn't been seen for three days. There are vague clues that he might be... being hunted."

Si Dong was the one Xiao Ji transferred back from Shu last time to thoroughly investigate the major case involving Xiao Ning.

It's been less than ten days and such a problem has arisen...

There is indeed something wrong with Xiao Ning!

but……

How could something happen to Sidong so soon?

Xie Yao frowned, her mind racing. Soon, something flashed through her mind, and she suddenly raised her eyes, "Xiao Ning guessed it!"

"Your Highness, do you remember the time Xiao Ning came to the Crown Prince's Mansion? She tried to push me into the water... She must have suspected something back then."

Xie Yao didn't explain it clearly, but Xiao Ji understood.

Xiao Ning suspected that Xie Yao could "predict the future" like Xie Yujiao, so he tried to test her. Now that what Si Dong had investigated had been "exposed", he deliberately set a trap.

Unfortunately, Sidong fell into the trap.

"Take people to search for Sidong's whereabouts immediately." Xiao Ji said solemnly to Sinan.

"Yes, Your Highness." Si Nan agreed immediately and turned around to make arrangements.

Dongnan, Xibei and Xibei grew up together with His Highness. Although they seldom see each other, they have a very deep relationship.

"Your Highness."

Xie Yao pulled Xiao Ji's hand and asked, "How's the investigation going with the Marquis of Zhenbei? Maybe he'll have some clues..."
