Chapter 226: The Dust Settles and the Marriage
When Shi Xiaoxiao returned to Xixiaoyuan, she also received a message from Luo Ren and others.
They bluntly said that His Royal Highness Prince Xiao did not need their help at all.
The scene of the army surrounding the palace left them all stunned.
No one could have imagined that His Royal Highness Prince Xiao could quietly move tens of thousands of troops into the imperial city overnight.
Shi Xiaoxiao's anxious heart finally relaxed.
It seems that Ji Chen has really made sufficient preparations, and it is worth his efforts for so many years.
She put the letter on the stove and burned it. Wisps of green smoke flew up and it completely turned into ashes.
At this time.
Ah Xing came in, "Miss, the son-in-law is here."
Shi Xiaoxiao raised her eyes, feeling a little surprised.
In the past, Ji Chen always went straight to her Xixiaoyuan, so why did he need to inform her this time?
"Let him in."
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure came in.
Shi Xiaoxiao chuckled in her heart.
This guy doesn't even pretend to be more thorough.
Before Ah Xing could go out to pass the message, someone broke in.
She simply waved to Ah Xing and said, "Go down."
As soon as Ah Xing's figure disappeared, Ji Chen couldn't wait to step forward and hug her in his arms.
He lowered his head and buried it in her neck, his expression somewhat gloomy.
Shi Xiaoxiao smelled the pungent smell of blood on him, which suppressed the original smell of his body.
It looked like he hadn't even washed up before coming here.
"what happened?"
Ji Chen said in a low voice: "I have avenged them, they should be relieved."
It won’t appear in his dreams every day, will it?
Shi Xiaoxiao put her arms around him and said gently, "They will definitely feel at ease and keep you safe."
Ji Chen raised his head and looked at Shi Xiaoxiao deeply.
"Have you been staying at home obediently today?"
Shi Xiaoxiao's eyes turned and she said, "Guess."
Ji Chen chuckled and reached out to scratch the tip of her nose.
He said: "It's obvious he's out doing bad things and is restless."
Shi Xiaoxiao raised her head with confidence, "Since you want revenge, then I want revenge too. I didn't stop you, so you naturally have no reason to stop me."
"I don't mean to stop you. I'm just worried about your safety."
"I'm back in good health."
"Who did you seek revenge on?"
"Queen Mother."
Shi Xiaoxiao didn't want to hide it from him, because he wouldn't hurt her anyway.
Ji Chen frowned: "You have entered the palace, it is so dangerous, if you want revenge, why don't you tell me and I will help you kill her, why bother running there."
Shi Xiaoxiao looked at him with a smile when she heard that.
His first concern was her safety, not the Queen Mother's death.
"You know to take revenge yourself, so I naturally want to do it myself too."
"Don't be so reckless next time."
"As ordered."
Ji Chen hugged Shi Xiaoxiao tighter. He had been in a low mood since leaving the palace.
Talking to her actually made him feel relieved.
She was his medicine, the medicine that he kept thinking about at all times.
Shi Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "Your Highness Prince Xiao, you are a bit clingy."
"It's only natural to stick to my wife."
We haven't gotten married yet, it's a bit too early to call her that.
Ji Chen looked at her expression and knew what she was thinking.
He said, "When the new emperor ascends the throne and everything is settled, we will get married. Then you will be my legitimate wife."
Shi Xiaoxiao was immediately attracted by the message in his words.
"New emperor? Who?"
"The Second Prince, I know him. He is intelligent, capable, and humble. It is very suitable for him to be the emperor."
Shi Xiaoxiao looked at him with piercing eyes: "Are you really willing to give up the throne to someone else?"
"Why not? If I became the emperor, I would have countless troubles waiting for me every day. How could I have time to accompany you?"
Shi Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched.
It's a good thing he didn't become emperor, otherwise he would definitely be a tyrant.
Ji Chen didn't know what Shi Xiaoxiao was thinking, so he continued, "I just talked to your father about this. The new emperor ascended the throne and issued a general amnesty. His resignation letter was also rejected, but he can continue to serve as prime minister and assist the new emperor."
Shi Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "You really think a lot."
Ji Chen smiled indulgently and pecked her pink cheek.
"Of course, you won't suffer any loss if you marry me."
Shi Xiaoxiao put her arms around his neck and said, "This is a huge win."
The two of them were always together. Ji Chen had dinner with Shi Xiaoxiao in Xixiao Courtyard until late at night, and then he left reluctantly.
Before leaving, he looked at Shi Xiaoxiao tenderly and said, "Wait for me. I will marry you home as soon as possible."
Shi Xiaoxiao felt sweet in her heart.
"I'm waiting for you."
The three words "I'll wait for you" were like a vow, deeply imprinted in his heart.
……
Half a month later.
The new emperor's ascension to the throne destroyed many people's hopes.
Among them is Shishi Wanwan.
She was obsessed with marrying His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and becoming the future Queen.
As a result, the crown prince was directly exposed by the second prince and imprisoned.
She cried her heart out.
At this moment, he is throwing a tantrum in Xixiaoyuan.
He blamed Shi Xiaoxiao for not persuading Ji Chen to rebel, which gave the second prince an opportunity.
"Shi Xiaoxiao, why did you want to harm me? We've been sisters for so many years, and yet you're so vicious? It's all your fault. Why didn't you trust Prince Xiao and let him kill the Emperor? If the Emperor hadn't died, the Second Prince wouldn't have had the chance. It's all your fault. You're my nemesis, you're a scourge."
Shi Xiaoxiao was speechless.
This can all be blamed on her.
She now wanted to give Shi Wanwan a thumbs up.
I just exclaimed: Awesome!
She looked at Shi Wanwan calmly, "The Crown Prince is incompetent to begin with. Even if the Emperor hadn't died, he wouldn't have had a chance. You mistook a pearl for a fake one, and now you blame me. He's going to be executed in three days. Instead of blaming me, you might as well go see him now. Maybe he'll give you his savings over the years, ensuring you have plenty of food and clothing for the rest of your life. After all, it's hard to find a husband for someone with a dirty body."
Previously, the affair between Shi Wanwan and the prince had caused a lot of controversy, and almost everyone knew that she and the prince were secretly involved in an affair.
Now that the prince is in prison, her life will not be easy in the future.
Shi Wanwan paused.
She hated Shi Xiaoxiao, but she had to admit that Shi Xiaoxiao was right.
She used to think that the prince would definitely become the emperor, so she never concealed her relationship with the prince and was even proud of it.
Now that the prince is in prison, I wonder how many people are laughing at her.
And she is not Shi Yuan's biological daughter. If Shi Yuan is no longer willing to support her, her life will be very difficult.
If she could get the prince's savings over the years, she could live a more prosperous life.
Thinking of this, she glared at Shi Xiaoxiao, snorted coldly, and left.
Shi Xiaoxiao shook her head and chuckled.
It must be said that the prince still has some feelings for Shi Wanwan.
Maybe he will really make good arrangements for Shi Wanwan's future life.
It’s worth it that they fell in love.
