Emperor You'an stopped arguing with Queen Mother Jiang and turned to look at the prince lying on the bed.

Seeing that the prince really opened his eyes and woke up, he felt sore in his eyes.

He angrily asked the imperial physician beside him: "What are you still standing there for?"

Pan Chen was so happy that he was stunned. Oh, the prince woke up and his head was finally saved!

He trembled as he felt the prince's pulse and reported back, "Your Highness is fine, but he is weak and needs to rest for a while."

Emperor You'an was worried, so he asked Doctor Mu to check his pulse. After hearing Doctor Mu say that everything was fine, he asked Murong Xuan in person, "Xuan'er, how do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

"My son is fine."

"Amitabha, may Buddha bless me."

Queen Mother Jiang at the door looked at this scene, sighed, silently turned the Buddhist beads in her hand, chanted a Buddhist name, and left.

"Grandmother..."

Murong Xuan looked at Emperor You'an with a weak face: "Father, did I sleep for so long that I even woke up the Empress Dowager?"

"You have been unconscious for three days, and the Empress Dowager..." Emperor You'an sighed, unable to continue speaking. He raised his hand, and Eunuch Shi briefly told the prince the whole story, including that the Imperial Observatory had found the Crown Princess for him.

Murong Xuan stared, his tone showing disappointment: "So the Queen Mother came here for the Imperial Observatory..."

He heard clearly what Queen Mother Jiang said when he was unconscious.

Emperor You'an snorted coldly, tucked the quilt in for him, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Xuan'er, don't worry. I have issued an imperial decree. Your safety is the most important thing."

"Thank you for your concern, Father." Murong Xuan coughed twice, as if he couldn't believe it: "Father, is Princess Huayang really my destined marriage?"

Emperor You'an's eyes flickered. "That's true. Xuan'er, Xiyue, although she is a divorced girl, is still a blessing for you. As soon as I granted you marriage, you got better immediately."

He said with some helplessness: "Xuan'er, this matter is ultimately up to fate, just marry her! If you meet someone you like in the future, just bring her into the mansion."

Murong Xuan nodded with a sensible look on his face: "I would like to thank Princess Huayang for saving my life."

Emperor You'an then relaxed his brows and said, "It's good that you understand. You are weak, so take good care of yourself. Father will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to pick a good day for you."

Murong Xuan almost laughed out loud, and tried his best to appear calm: "It's all up to my father."

The Ministry of Internal Affairs selected several dates, and Emperor You'an chose the first day of March, which was the closest.

There are still more than three months left. Normally, the prince's wedding should not be so hasty, but due to urgency, and the emperor was also anxious, it was decided.

After all, the prince is already twenty-one years old and it is time for him to get married.

After all, the prince is weak, so if he marries someone who will bring him good fortune, maybe he will recover faster!

As for the rest...Emperor You'an vaguely covered up the past with a fatherly heart.

......

The news that the prince had awakened quickly spread throughout the capital.

I don’t know what others think, but Shen Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief. What was there to not understand at this point? This was the idea he mentioned, “It’s not difficult to marry her”!

It really is...all you have to do is pretend to be sick and it works.

By the way, he also tricked Prince Yao, asking him to make great contributions in the salt administration in exchange for the title of prince and fiefdom for himself.

It would be difficult to disrupt the court once you leave the capital.

Shen Xiyue couldn't help but laughed out loud. No wonder Murong Xuan always looked so at ease. It was true that nothing could stump him.

In that case, she would have to run the incense shop more attentively!

Lord Shen was quite happy about the Emperor's marriage proposal: "The Crown Prince is not bad, he is worthy of our Xiyue."

Mrs. Shen looked at the smiling father and daughter and didn't know what to say. This whole family was bewitched by the prince!

How come you can't see the crisis behind this matter at all?

Will the Qin and Jiang families, whose future throne has been snatched away, be willing to let it go?

Forget it... Don't count on this heartless father and daughter. Now that things have come to this, she should think about it more! If it really doesn't work, she can ask her brother to think for her!

This family wouldn't be complete without her.

......

When Murong Xuan felt a little better, he left the palace and returned to his Prince's Mansion to recuperate. No matter who went to visit him, they would always say that the Prince was weak and not suitable to see guests.

......

Prince Yao was originally a little annoyed because of Emperor You'an's decree asking him to go to his fiefdom.

But when he knew that Shen Xiyue was given a marriage to the prince, his heart was at peace again. This made the prince's position even more unstable... Even if he was asked to go to Jingchu, there was still a long way to go, and who could say for sure what would happen in the future?

As soon as his mood improved, he remembered the letter Qi Xun had sent him, saying that Gu Zhilan wanted to offer him some advice, so he went to the Marquis Wenyuan's Mansion.

"Your Highness, this is a newspaper I made using my improved printing technique."

Gu Zhilan held out a piece of paper covered with words. The fonts on it were of different sizes, and they were all about various information happening in the capital city. There were well-known news, made-up stories, and some life tips.

"Your Highness, I want to open a newspaper in the capital. We have the final say on what news is published. On the one hand, we can win over the noble families, and on the other hand, the power of the people's support should not be underestimated."

There was no way out. The way to make money from soap was taken away by the time traveler beside Shen Xiyue.

She had no choice but to think of a way to immediately prove her worth... Only if King Yao values ​​her, will the Qi family value her, and Qi Xun will be more inclined towards her, then she can straighten her back and step on Yunxiu under her feet!

Prince Yao narrowed his eyes and looked at the line with the longest words, which read "The Emperor has granted marriage: The Crown Prince will soon marry Princess Shen of Huayang." Thinking about what Gu Zhilan had just said, he felt that the newspaper was quite interesting.

If he could publish some news about Jingchu in the newspaper from time to time, wouldn't everyone remember him? Then what would it matter whether he was in the capital or not?

"That's a good idea, Alan."

Gu Zhilan was stunned, and her whole body trembled when King Yao called her "Alan".

She had not forgotten the tone and demeanor of King Yao when he wanted to kill her to atone for his crime... Now that she was married to Qi Xun, it was inappropriate for King Yao to call her "Alan" in front of Qi Xun no matter how she thought about it.

King Yao didn't care at all, he smiled calmly and said softly:

"Although I don't know what the printing technology you are talking about is, this newspaper was not common in the capital before. From now on, you will sell it in the capital every day."

"You are really different from the women in this world, ha~"

Gu Zhilan was completely stunned.

She suddenly couldn't help crying and turned around to throw herself into Qi Xun's arms. Yes, someone finally realized that she was different from the women of this time!

She is not a person of this feudal era, she is a modern person chosen by God!

Gu Zhilan burst into tears, and all the anger and resentment she had felt for days was swept away.

In fact, what King Yao said about there being no newspapers in the capital in the past was not because people of their time could not think of it, but because the technology could not keep up.

Pure handwriting is very tiring, and people of this era used woodblock printing, which was too expensive and was generally used to print books. Few people used it to print newspapers that were highly time-sensitive.

So she improved the printing technology by using movable type, which made typesetting easier and allowed newspapers to be published on a large scale.

Murong Yao looked at Gu Zhilan who was crying in Qi Xun's arms, and a hint of amusement and curiosity flashed in his eyes. What kind of magical creature is this woman of humble origin?

It was beyond his imagination.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as it’s useful.
