My Lord, the princess doesn't want you anymore.

Eunuch Li was so frightened that he was about to call the imperial physician, but Cui Qimo grabbed him, shook his head gently at him, and said with some difficulty: "At this critical moment, I can't be in trouble. At least, no one can know."

"Your Majesty, I have sent someone to call Judge Zhang." Eunuch Li was extremely distressed. He wiped his eyes, tears streaming down his face, and said with a worried look: "You must take care of yourself!"

He suddenly remembered that when Princess Jing came to the palace to treat the Queen Mother, she told him that "Father's heart doesn't look very good" and gave him a bottle of pills.

He was surprised at the time that the emperor had this disease, but no one knew about it except him and Zhang Yuanpan.

But Princess Jing didn't even take the emperor's pulse, but she could tell that the emperor had a heart disease. How superb is her medical skill!

However, the Emperor was concerned about Princess Jing's bad reputation and never dared to use the pill.

While he was thinking about this, the emperor seemed to be getting worse.

He was gasping for air, but still had difficulty breathing and his lips turned purple.

The hair on his temples, which was gradually turning gray, was a little messy, and trembled with his heavy breathing.

It seemed that the emperor was about to run out of breath.

The emperor had been ill like this before, but never this seriously. I think this time he was just too angry and too sad.

Eunuch Li was afraid that by the time Zhang Yuanpan arrived, it would be too late.

He couldn't care less about all that. He hardened his heart and risked losing his head. He found the bottle of pills that Mei Xueer had given him at that time, took out a pill with trembling hands, and stuffed it into the emperor's mouth.

Unexpectedly, after a while, Cui Qimo really recovered, his breathing became smoother, and his lips returned to their normal color.

"How does the emperor feel now?" Eunuch Li looked at him cautiously.

Cui Qimo slowly opened his eyes, as if he had aged several years in an instant. "It's okay, I feel much better. You, what did you give me to eat?"

Lord Li breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty, I was worried that Judge Zhang would be late, so I made Your Majesty take the pills that Princess Jing gave me last time. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Cui Qimo closed his eyes again, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long while, he finally opened his eyes and asked weakly, "I heard that Prince Jing's men also followed?"

Eunuch Li was stunned for a moment before he realized what the emperor was saying and nodded quickly, "After all, Princess Jing is in the hands of the prince."

"Do you think he did it to save his princess?"

Eunuch Li rolled his eyes and said, "After all, the marriage of Princess Jing was granted by Your Majesty, and she is also the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Mei. How could he not save her?"

Cui Qimo didn't say anything, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After a while, he fell into a deep sleep.

Just as he fell asleep, a eunuch came to report that Prime Minister Mei wanted to see the emperor for an urgent matter.

Eunuch Li quietly closed the door of the imperial study, bowed to Prime Minister Mei, and said with some embarrassment: "Prime Minister, the emperor did not sleep well last night and just rested."

Prime Minister Mei looked anxious, "Please, sir, find a way to pass on the message. I really have something very urgent to do and I need to see the emperor."

Eunuch Li was indeed in a difficult situation. The emperor's behavior just now really frightened him.

The emperor had finally fallen asleep, and he didn't dare, nor could he bear to disturb him.

He asked tentatively, "Prime Minister, are you here for Princess Jing?"

Prime Minister Mei was slightly startled. "That's right, does the eunuch have anything to say?"

Eunuch Li sighed. For the sake of the pill that saved the emperor's life, he pulled Prime Minister Mei aside and whispered, "There are some things I shouldn't say, but the emperor really can't see you right now. I'll say a few more words."

"Please speak, Eunuch Li!" Prime Minister Mei looked at him anxiously.

"The Emperor already knows about the matter of Prince Jing's wife, and he has arranged people to rescue her. Please go back, Prime Minister. If you are still worried, why not go and talk to Prince Jing about it." After saying this, Eunuch Li refused to say anything more.

Prime Minister Mei opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but looking at Eunuch Li's lips that looked like they were sewn shut with needles, he knew he couldn't ask anything more.

After leaving the palace, he rushed to Prince Jing's Mansion.

However, the gate of Prince Jing's Mansion was closed and no visitors were allowed.

Prime Minister Mei immediately sent out his men, determined to find Mei Xueer and Nanxing.

Mei Xueer lay on the ground and didn't dare to move, because if she moved, the ropes on her hands and feet would hurt her even more.

There was a small table in the wooden house, but there was no food on it, not even a bowl of water.

She is so hungry.

Space is useful. You can store some food there at any time so you don’t have to worry about starving or dying of thirst in critical moments.

Just then, the sound of a door opening was heard outside.

A masked man came over, pulled the cloth out of her mouth, untied the ropes on her hands, and threw a steamed bun to her.

She didn't act pretentiously and didn't say a harsh word. She sat up, stretched her wrists, picked up the steamed bun and started eating.

How can you escape if you are not full?

If you starve yourself to death for something as meaningless as integrity, you are crazy.

The bun was cold and hard, and she forced herself to swallow it.

The man watched her finish the steamed bun and prepared to tie her hands and leave.

Mei Xueer suddenly smiled at him, "Big brother, I see that your blood and qi are not right. Have you been unable to defecate for more than ten days?"

The man was stunned for a moment. "It is said that Princess Jing is a great doctor. Maybe she wants to diagnose me. I advise you to give up this idea. No matter what you do, you can't escape."

"Alas..." Mei Xueer smiled bitterly, "I know this truth. But doctors are kind-hearted and cannot bear to see patients. Since you have concerns, I won't treat you."

The man hesitated for a moment, the pain of constipation prevailed, and he walked over and stretched out his hand, "Then thank you..."

He didn't finish his words because the poison needle between Mei Xueer's fingers had already pierced into the blood vessel in his wrist.

The man was so angry that before he could even slap her, he rolled his eyes and collapsed to the ground.

Mei Xueer quickly untied the ropes on her feet and rushed towards the narrow window.

She had thought about this way of saving herself countless times in her mind.

But imagination and reality are two different things after all.

For example, everything was going well, but she overestimated the size of the window, or underestimated the size of her butt.

The window was too small and her butt was stuck on it. She tried very hard to squeeze out but failed.

Worse still, she couldn't go back.

To make matters worse, she heard the prince's voice outside the door.

She was stunned for a moment: Could it be that it was the dog prince who kidnapped me, not the dog prince? Then why does he feel guilty towards me? Could it be that he felt guilty for not protecting me well? No, no, no, how could this be possible...

While I was lost in thought, I heard the prince's voice coming from outside: "The pursuers are catching up, retreat quickly!"

The prince gave orders as he pushed the door open.

So, as soon as he came in, he saw Mei Xueer leaning against the window, unable to go in or out.

The prince pulled her feet several times, making Mei Xueer scream, but she was still firmly stuck on the window.

"Since she likes this window so much, just take it down and let her wear it all the way!" The prince snorted.

Upon hearing this, Mei Xueer's upper body was suddenly disheveled in the cold wind outside the window.
