Chapter 15: The heart is separated from the belly
Xiao Zhen finally understood. It was just as he had guessed. Everything was not a coincidence. His careless parents were involved in the game.
"Dad, do you regret it?" Xiao Zhen's voice was cold.
Can Prince Consort Xiao not regret it?
He regretted it so much that his intestines turned blue.
I can only blame him for being so pampered these years. Every day he is either looking at the princess's eyebrows in the mirror or trying to make peace with his wife and son. He.
Xiao Prince Consort didn't know how to describe himself now.
Princess Jiayi did not dare to see her son, so she could only glance at Prince Consort Xiao. When she saw Xiao Prince Consort's handsome face turning pale and red, Princess Jiayi's heart ached.
She quickly put on a pitiful expression and said to Xiao Zhen: "Your father didn't do it on purpose. It's all because those evil people are too cunning. Your father is a pure and upright man. How could he know that people's hearts are ulterior? Don't you think so, son?"
Xiao Zhen: "Mom, please stop pretending in front of me. Your true nature is to be arrogant and domineering."
Grand Duke Jiayi opened his mouth, then forced out an innocent smile and said to Prince Consort Xiao: "Brother Yan, you read a lot. Arrogant and domineering seems to be a derogatory term, right?"
Xiao Prince Consort: "Chinese writing is extensive and profound, and many words have multiple meanings. For example, not everyone can use the word arrogance and domineering. For example, those traffickers and lackeys must not be able to use it."
Princess Jiayi smiled more ugly than crying: "I understand, my son is praising me for being graceful and noble."
Xiao Zhen
Seeing that their son finally stopped pestering them and reprimanding them, the couple quietly exchanged glances. Princess Jiayi cooed at Prince Consort Xiao, signaling for him to speak first.
Xiao Prince Consort had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Azhen, since Miss Zhao Er has saved our lives, shouldn't we say thank you in person? How about"
Xiao Prince Consort looked at Xiao Su: "A Su, go and invite the eldest princess and the second young lady of Prince Liang's Mansion."
Xiao Su agreed, but did not move. He remembered something and said to Xiao Zhen: "By the way, Zhao Xiaosi said that this life-saving grace must be repaid by releasing Heshan, and she wanted to release Heshan. ”
Xiao Zhen was startled and a little confused: "Free Heshan? Is that the property of our Xiao family?"
Xiao Su quickly reminded: "Brother, have you forgotten? It was your year."
Xiao Su glanced at Xiao Consort subconsciously and lowered his voice: "It's the mountain that my uncle gave to you the year Xiao Yue came. He was afraid that you would be unhappy, so he gave it to you in order to make you happy."
It turns out to be that mountain.
Xiao Zhen remembered that it was that year when he came back from Wu and found that there was a younger brother in the family. At that time, he thought of that dream and was so shocked that he stood there in a daze.
Xiao Prince Consort felt guilty and mistakenly thought that his eldest son could not accept this, so he secretly took a land deed and gave him a mountain.
But that mountain was far away in Liangdi, and Xiao Zhen had never been there. As time passed, he even forgot the name of the mountain.
"She wants that mountain? Then give it to her." Xiao Zhen said.
Although his parents were worried, not to mention just one mountain, even hundreds of thousands of them, couldn't compare to their lives.
Zhao Shiqing saved his parents, even if Zhao Shiqing asked him to repay him with his life, he was willing!
But Xiao Su was unwilling: "That's not possible, brother, you don't know, then Zhao Xiaosi is a thief. Over the years, if I hadn't been guarding the mountain for you, Zhao Xiaosi would have stolen the mountain long ago. , can’t give it to her easily.”
Xiao Zhen: "Is there a mine in that mountain?"
Xiao Su shook his head: "That's not true." "Is there any rare treasure?" Xiao Zhen asked again.
Xiao Su still shook his head.
Xiao Zhen: "Then what else can she steal?"
Xiao Su: "Stealing mushrooms, stealing bamboo shoots, and stealing various medicinal materials and fruits. You don't know, Zhao Xiaosi has a master who loves to delve into eating. In order to find ingredients for her, Zhao Xiaosi would go to the farm every day. Heshan stole something.”
Xiao Zhen
He waved his hand feebly: "Okay, I understand, go and invite the sisters over."
"Brother, you must not be deceived by that female devil. Fang Heshan cannot be given to her." Xiao Su warned.
Xiao Zhen nodded: "Okay, I know what I know."
Xiao Su was about to leave, but Xiao Zhen stopped him again: "Jiang Ping and the others are still waiting for me outside the villa. Go and report to them that they are safe and let them calm down."
Xiao Su just left, and a moment later, Zhao Yunnuan and Zhao Shiqing walked in one after the other.
This was the first time Zhao Shiqing met Princess Jiayi and Prince Consort Xiao.
Although Princess Jiayi is already in her thirties, she looks like a young woman in her prime, with no trace of weather on her delicate face.
And Prince Consort Xiao is worthy of being a handsome man. Even though he is middle-aged, he is still so handsome that people ignore his age. Even though he is under house arrest, he is still not in the slightest embarrassment, and every hair is exquisite.

On the other hand, Xiao Zhen was sitting below them. Forget it, Zhao Shiqing didn't want to comment anymore. If she really wanted to say something, it would be that Xiao Zhen was old and disabled, and the vicissitudes of life on his face were enough to give Jiayi a long life. The princess and Prince Consort Xiao became fathers.
Zhao Shiqing followed her sister to pay homage to Princess Jiayi and Prince Consort Xiao.
Princess Jiayi called the sisters to her side, held their hands one in each hand, and said words of gratitude as if they were free, but every word seemed to be saying to them, you put me under house arrest, but you saved me. Leave me alone, let's clear things up.
What a waste!
Zhao Shiqing rolled her eyes and suddenly said: "Your Highness, did you kill my father?"
Princess Jiayi, who was chirping, suddenly burped, and she quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief.
The handsome face of Prince Consort Xiao also darkened in an instant.
Xiao Zhen, on the other hand, just raised his eyebrows slightly and sat aside to watch the show. At this moment, he was still short of a handful of melon seeds.
Princess Jiayi sobbed: "I know that all of you in Prince Liang's Mansion suspect that I and your consort have harmed your father, but in the conscience of heaven and earth, although I have fought with your father, that is That happened twenty years ago , I don’t remember it for a long time. Also, although the Xiao family is from Liang, they have always respected Prince Liang’s palace and have never thought of replacing him. The Xiao family doesn’t even have an official, so how can they dream of the throne? "
Zhao Shiqing: This princess has quite a lot on her mind. It seems she has already prepared this statement.
Of course she knew that the eldest princess and his wife were not the murderers of Prince Liang, but, since she wanted to take advantage of them, she could only hold on to this matter.
"If people's hearts are separated from each other, brothers will turn against each other. What's more, although my father and His Highness are both surnamed Zhao, they were separated from each other a hundred years ago. As for the Xiao family, let alone that, you Xiao Don’t you have a family? Don’t say you don’t. If you say it, no one will believe it. You might as well admit it openly.”
Xiao Zhen looked at Zhao Shiqing playfully, then turned his eyes away from her and turned to look at Princess Jiayi, with a bit of gloating in his expression.
You have nothing to say, I'll see if you can remember it this time.
