Ji Yunkai would think like that, but unfortunately others did not.

"And then?" Ji Yunkai was not stupid enough to say something like "you suspect me".

If he really woke up, he would come out to meet them, yet he did not appear. However, Ji Yunkai did not allow them to see him either, and Shiqing did not even appear. How could they not think too much about it?

Xiao Jiu'an woke up the day she married him. The whereabouts of the Infanta was unknown, and the Emperor would definitely meet with her alone and ask her about Xiao Jiu'an's condition. After all, she understood medicine.

After Ji Yunkai finished speaking, she ignored the dark faces of everyone and walked out.

"Prince Yanbei's Wife, please wait!" When General Lin saw that Ji Yunkai was about to leave, he stood up and wanted to stop her, but was stopped by Xiao Zirong, "Enough!"

"Young Noble Rong?" General Lin was stunned as he did not understand what Xiao Zirong meant.

The Xiao Family did not want to take the opportunity to get something good? Why did he stop him from confirming the statuses of Xiao Jiu'an and Xiao Shiqing?

Xiao Zirong said with a dark face, "It's getting late, and today is the wedding day between Prince Yanbei and Prince Yanbei's Wife. If you want to cause any trouble, you have to choose the right time."

"But…."

"Isn't it just a day or two? You guys can't wait?" Xiao Zirong admitted that after seeing Ji Yunkai's ugly face, he had a terrible impression of her, but when he saw Ji Yunkai wearing a mask and fighting against the crowd alone, he felt that Ji Yunkai was very pitiful. Seeing that she was being forced into this situation, he could not help but stick out his head for her....

With Xiao Zirong blocking his way, Ji Yunkai smoothly escaped. As for whether the people behind her were unhappy or not, Ji Yunkai did not care at all.

If they had the ability, they could barge in. If they did not, then they just had to wait obediently.

You want her to say something?

Stop dreaming!

.… ….

After successfully settling the trouble in the front courtyard, Ji Yunkai did not return to Frigid Water Hall, but instead went back to her own residence. Although the servants had all been put down by Feng Qi, it was not a problem for her to sleep.

The Steward immediately reported the situation in the front courtyard to Xiao Jiu'an. Lying on the bed, with his eyes tightly shut, Xiao Jiu'an, whose face was completely bloodless, slowly opened his eyes.

Tonight, none of the people in the Hall of Flowers were easy to deal with. Forget about Ji Yunkai who had just gotten married, even if he personally appeared, those people would not leave so easily.

It did not mean anything if he woke up. Only if he was completely fine would there be nothing to do.

"The matter regarding the palace is also arranged neatly by the Princess. However, regarding the disappearance of Infanta Shiqing, Your Highness, what should we do?" The Steward's serious face revealed a hint of worry.

They did not receive any clues regarding the sudden disappearance of the Infanta. They did not manage to find any traces at all.

Xiao Jiu'an said: "It can't be Feng Qi. Send people to look for him in private, remember, do not spread the word." Shiqing was his only sister. He was naturally worried, but no matter how worried he was, he could not lose his composure.

"Your Highness...". The Steward did not immediately agree. He looked as if he wanted to say something, but was hesitant to do so.

Xiao Jiu'an did not look at him, but only said: "Speak!"

The Steward struggled for a bit before saying, "Your Highness, who is the person who kidnapped Infanta Shiqing? This little one feels that there is no need for anybody to kidnap the Infanta at this time. "

If they had wanted to kidnap Shiqing, they would have done it long ago. Why did they only do it after their Master woke up?

There was no point in making a move now.

Xiao Jiu'an said, "No, it's very necessary. They want to force This King to come out." The person who did this must be well aware that the poison would not keep him unconscious. The other party was trying to force him to stand up with his poisoned body, not giving him the time to recover and detoxify his body.

After kidnapping Shiqing, and sending the assassins out, the guards in the Prince Yanbei's Mansion could not hold him back, so he personally had to make a move. The moment he used his internal force, the poison in his body would become uncontrollable, and he would grow weaker and weaker.

However, in this situation where Prince Yanbei's Mansion was ownerless, he had to step forward no matter how weak his body was. Otherwise, Prince Yanbei's Mansion would collapse and the Yanbei Army would fall into chaos.

Yes, he was currently very weak. So weak that it was to the point that he did not even have the strength to stand up. If not for that, he would not have allowed Ji Yunkai to appear in front of those people. He would have stood in front of those people and all the rumors would have been resolved.

The Steward was the one who was the most aware of the situation of Xiao Jiu'an's body. His face immediately paled, and then, he rejoiced.

If it was not for Ji Yunkai, if Ji Yunkai was not able to solve the problem outside, the Prince would have had to appear tonight. Else, the people below would have gotten confused.

"At least she has some use." Xiao Jiu'an coldly snorted in disdain.

He did not believe in Ji Yunkai. He did not and could not believe in someone who wholeheartedly wanted to leave, but he also knew that Ji Yunkai would not dare to play any tricks against him in the near future, because — the Phoenix Pendant!

Ji Yunkai could not find the Phoenix Pendant in one day, and until she found it, she would not have the guts to play any tricks towards him.

"Go tell her that when she enters the palace tomorrow, This King will not accompany her." Although he believed that Ji Yunkai did not dare to do anything, but due to the importance of the matter, Xiao Jiu'an still warned her.

"This little one understands." The Steward accepted the order and left with a bow.

Very quickly, Ji Yunkai received Xiao Jiu'an's words. She responded with a "yes", without any sort of reaction.

She had already guessed that Xiao Jiu'an's body would be extremely weak. Otherwise, he would have come out tonight.

The Steward told Xiao Jiu'an about Ji Yunkai's reply and how she reacted to his order. When Xiao Jiu'an heard this, he snorted lightly: "You're too smart, not beneficial at all!"

Ji Yunkai knew too much. Fortunately, she had a weakness such as the Phoenix Pendant in his hands, otherwise he would have chosen to silence Ji Yunkai!

Since he was conscious, he would not allow others to know that his poison had yet to be dispelled.

As a Prince Yanbei who had yet to be cured of his poison and could die at any time, it was better for him to not wake up.

That night, Ji Yunkai slept soundly, and woke up as soon as dawn arrived. Under the care of the maidservants, she donned the official clothes as Prince Yanbei's Wife and put on the gold mask that Xiao Jiu'an gave her, and waited for the summons from the palace.

After breakfast, just as Ji Yunkai was hesitating on whether she should take the initiative to enter the palace, a decree came from the palace requiring the presence of Prince Yanbei and Princess Yanbei.

Ji Yunkai accepted the order and entered the palace alone, sitting in the carriage arranged by the Steward.
