The next day, the prince really found an opportunity to talk to Ji Sicheng about academic matters.

The two of them had a pleasant chat, just like Ji Sicheng and the Third Prince had a pleasant chat about riding and archery.

The Third Prince rushed over upon hearing the news, and the other princes and Young Master Li Chengping also joined in, obviously intending to sabotage the Crown Prince's efforts to win over the crown prince.

Ji Sicheng pretended not to know and responded calmly.

Who knew that Princess Xiping was also in the palace that day. She came out of the Queen's bedroom and walked along the river bank. She saw her brothers and Li Chengping there, so she hid aside and watched.

She was looking at Li Chengping with all her heart, but she found that the person surrounded by everyone, including the prince, was indeed Ji Sicheng.

Princess Xiping was surprised. She had heard about Ji Sicheng's birth and that he was an orphan adopted by the Marquis's Mansion, so she had never taken it to heart.

I didn't expect that when I saw him today, seeing everyone gathered around him and chatting and laughing, I was somewhat attracted to him.

If it weren't for the teaching nanny's persuasion, she would have lay down behind the bridge pier and taken a few more looks.

When she returned to the queen's bedroom, she felt a little lazy.

All he was thinking about was Ji Sicheng, completely replacing Li Chengping.

Seeing her unhappy look, the queen couldn't help but asked with a smile, "Are you worried about something?"

Princess Xiping put her thoughts aside and laughed it off, but after she finished eating she insisted on returning to the princess palace.

The Queen ordered someone to escort the carriage back. Princess Xiping waited until the carriage left the second door, then immediately ordered someone to turn around, lifted the curtain and looked outside.

Ji Siyue's patrol position was fixed in the harem. She was on duty today and was on night duty when she heard a candlestick in a talented woman's room fall over. The lights went out and a man jumped out from the window!

Ji Siyue immediately shouted when he saw it, but the patrol team following him seemed not to hear or see anything and just walked forward on their own.

Although Ji Siyue thought that something was wrong, he still followed.

If this person is really a criminal, wouldn't it be extremely dangerous?

Ji Siyue chased the man all the way to the cold palace. There were few people here and no patrol team came.

Seeing that the man was about to break into the cold palace, Ji Siyue gritted his teeth, ran forward and grabbed the man's sleeve.

But although she was agile, she was still a child after all, and her strength was not as good as a man. She could only tear off the man's sleeves and watched him jump into the cold palace.

Without permission, one cannot enter the cold palace at will, but as the situation was urgent, Ji Siyue did not think much about it and flew in.

Who would have known that there wasn't even a lantern hanging in the cold palace, and all the lights in the houses were off. After that man flew in, he hid himself and could not be found at all.

But unfortunately, the people patrolling the cold palace caught Ji Siyue, forced her out and wanted to hand her over to Dian Ying.

No one listened to Ji Siyue's explanation, as they kept talking about rules.

Ji Siyue couldn't help but think that if these people had known that she was from the Marquis' Mansion in the past, they would definitely not have arrested her, but would have followed her to catch the murderer.

But now that things have come to a point where the Marquis' Mansion is on the verge of collapse, these people have changed their attitudes.

She had never known before that these people were actually jealous of her having a child, but now she knew it.

Ji Siyue felt a little regretful, regretting not listening to her mother.

While they were being escorted, Princess Xiping's carriage arrived and stopped them, saying, "What happened to Ji Siyue?"

The guard immediately knelt down and reported: "He was caught by the patrol team for trespassing into the cold palace and is about to be sent to see Commander Dian."

Although Ji Siyue knew that he could not count on Princess Xiping, he still held up the black cloth in his hand and explained.

Princess Xiping heard this and immediately scolded, "Are you all deaf? Didn't you hear that there was a thief breaking into the harem? Why don't you search for him quickly? Who of you can take responsibility if anything happens?"

As soon as Princess Xiping spoke, Ji Siyue was released and they also took action.

Ji Siyue was about to follow to show the way, but was stopped by Princess Xiping.

"Come up and let them look for it. We will go inform the Queen Mother and let her handle it."

Ji Siyue didn't expect Princess Xiping to be so kind to her, and immediately said, "I want to confirm the safety of that talented person first."

Who knew that when they arrived at the talented woman's room, knocked on the door and asked, she said nothing had happened and she didn't see anyone.

Ji Siyue was puzzled and went into the room to check the candlestick.

"Look, there's still some wax on the floor. The candlestick must have fallen over."

The maid in the talented palace said that it was the cat that knocked him down, and they helped him up.

The words before and after are clearly ambiguous and wrong!

Ji Siyue suddenly realized that this was a trap!

A trap set for her!

If Princess Xiping had not appeared out of nowhere today, she might have lost her position in the palace.

Princess Xiping heard it clearly, but she said nothing. She secretly pulled Ji Siyue back and said, "It's all a misunderstanding. Look at what you look like. You must have stayed up too late. Go home early!"

Ji Siyue did not dare to investigate further and followed Princess Xiping out. However, Princess Xiping turned around and took Ji Siyue to see the queen and told her what had just happened.

Although the person was not found in the cold palace in the end.

But when the queen heard the wax on the candlestick and the cloth in Ji Siyue's hand, she naturally believed it.

"Mother, who dares to use such means in the palace? They dare to target Ji Siyue like this, which shows that they do not respect your authority in the harem!"

As soon as Princess Xiping said this, the Queen said she would investigate it thoroughly.

Ji Siyue returned to the Marquis' Mansion in Princess Xiping's carriage. Seeing Princess Xiping looking at the Marquis' Mansion, he invited her in for tea.

Princess Xiping readily agreed.

When Shen Yiran and others heard that Princess Xiping had arrived, they immediately came out to greet her.

Princess Xiping didn't care about the details and went straight in with a clear goal.

It’s a pity that outsiders can’t see it. Although he heard that Ji Sicheng had returned, he couldn’t come out.

Princess Xiping found it boring, so she left after sitting for a while.

Ji Siyue immediately told what happened in the palace, and Ji Sicheng also came out to listen. Everyone frowned when they heard this.

Ji Siyue pulled Shen Yiran to apologize, "I still messed it up."

Shen Yiran stopped her in his arms and said, "You did nothing wrong. You didn't make a mistake because of your emotions. You just followed your duties and you should be rewarded."

Ji Siyue became happy after hearing this.

"That person never thought that Princess Xiping would appear, let alone help you. Instead, he asked the Queen to investigate the matter thoroughly. He must be regretting it now!"

Rong Qingqing was so happy that she covered her mouth with her handkerchief and laughed.

Ji Siyue shook her head and said, "I don't know why Princess Xiping would help me. We don't have such a good relationship."

After hearing this, Rong Qingqing couldn't laugh anymore.

Shen Yiran immediately changed the subject: "None of us can guess what Princess Xiping is thinking. We will know later. You got away with it this time. They will definitely not dare to come again a second time."

"You still have to be cautious. These people will use any means to achieve their goals. Yue'er, be careful!"

After giving these instructions, the old lady told them all to go to bed.
