The matter of conferring the title of princess was dropped. Although Xiao Heng asked her to go back and think about it, since the matter had already been postponed, it would soon become increasingly distant until it finally disappeared into thin air.

"I have too many things on my hands these days!" Xiao Heng complained as he took the tea from Su Minglang, "Every little thing has to bother me."

"There is even a foreign minister who writes to me every day just to ask me how I am doing?" Xiao Heng slapped the table in confusion, without any imperial dignity. "Doesn't he know that if he submits fewer memorials, I can sleep better?"

"It's inevitable for a minister to worry about you when he's away from home. Isn't there a saying that goes, 'When you're far away from home, you worry about your ruler,'" Su Minglang gently stroked his chest and consoled him, "Your Majesty, why should you get angry? Just ask the people below to send this memorial away."

Xiao Heng nodded, thinking that he could probably ask Xiao Xizi to stamp his seal and send him off for something that had nothing to do with decoction. "Let's not talk about that. Li Zhao alone is a cause of worry for me!"

Su Minglang raised his head slightly, and his perfunctory mood suddenly became serious, "Master Li is still investigating the matter of the palace maid?"

"How come there is still no result after searching for so long?"

"I think he is indeed too lax!" Xiao Heng was also somewhat dissatisfied, but after all, he was a rare court official who could be used by him, and judging from past cases, he was a rare and useful one.

"He swore to me that he could find something useful, but there has been no progress so far. I am really disappointed!"

Listening to Xiao Heng's complaints, Su Minglang's uneasy heart calmed down instantly. Although she didn't know why Li Zhao still didn't hand over the list in his hand to His Majesty after three days, this was rare good news for Su Minglang.

Or maybe Li Zhao doesn't have that kind of thing in his hand at all, and he is just deceiving himself. It's not certain considering Li Zhao's personality.

"If there is no movement from Lord Li, then wouldn't His Majesty be surrounded by hidden dangers?" Su Minglang said with some concern. Fortunately, they had sent away the servants in advance, and now there were only the two of them in the room.

"Your Majesty must be more careful!" Su Minglang paused and said casually, "But this is not a solution!"

"I have decided to adopt the few suggestions my beloved concubine has made before." Xiao Heng nodded with a smile, looking at her with eyes full of sincere affection, which she had never felt in her previous life.

"It can be a solution if we make some minor changes." Xiao Heng praised it and said with some concern, "I just hope that such a big commotion won't alert the enemy."

"I'm so happy to be able to help you!" Su Minglang pulled Xiao Heng's sleeve. Xiao Heng reached out and held her in his arms. He watched the beauty in his arms' eyes gradually become blurred, and his eyes got closer and closer.

"Your Majesty, Madam, there is a maid asking to see you!"

Xiao He knocked on the door, glanced at Xiao Heng cautiously and said, "That palace maid wants to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Just when he was about to start a fire, he was suddenly interrupted by someone, just like someone pouring a handful of cold water on his head while he was on fire, and he woke up completely.

"Who are you? Can't you see I'm busy?" Xiao Heng glared at her with dissatisfaction, and the hand holding Su Minglang seemed a little bored.

"The maid looked a little anxious and kept talking about Miss Li."

"Miss Li?" As soon as this name came out, Xiao Heng's face changed and he suddenly loosened his arms around Su Minglang and distanced himself from her. "What's going on?"

"It seems like it's a very urgent matter?" Su Minglang looked at Xiao Heng's anxious expression with concern, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart. Although Xiao He's voice was very soft, Su Minglang listened attentively and soon found the topic that interested him.

It was obvious that Li was causing trouble again, but Xiao Heng just kept doting on her and always granted her every request.

If you don’t believe me, just wait and see. It won’t be long before Xiao Heng finds an excuse to leave early.

But how could Xu Minglei easily give up such an opportunity to show himself?

"If your majesty has something urgent to do, please go back and take a look!"

"It's okay." Although Xiao Heng said this, his eyes were wandering and he kept looking out the window.

Su Minglang sneered, gently stroked the back of Xiao Heng's hand and comforted him, "It must be something important. Your Majesty should go and take a look!"

Xiao Heng stood up suddenly after just sitting down. He looked at Su Minglang for a long time before making up his mind. He looked at her apologetically and said, "I'll come to see you another day."

"Take care of yourself!" Xiao Heng reminded her before leaving. If she didn't know that Xiao Heng was going there for another woman, she would have been touched by his attentiveness.

"Just leaving like that?" Xiao Ye appeared behind Su Minglang without knowing when, "Your Majesty, you are too impatient, aren't you?"

"In my opinion, it's not that Your Majesty is impatient." Su Minglang sneered, "I'm afraid the person who is worried is someone else."

"After all, your Majesty's heart is not with me, so why force it?"

Su Minglang was open-minded. She had completely given up on Xiao Heng anyway. Even if he betrayed her again, Su Minglang would not feel sad anymore.

Come to think of it, as long as the salary is a bit transparent, I can just eat and wait for death every day, without needing any good medicine, and without having to reward servants or buy off connections, it can be a pretty good life if you think about it.

"At least I have the answer to what I wanted to know." Su Minglang laughed twice and stretched lazily. "Keep an eye on the Imperial Hospital these few days. If there is any movement, tell me in time."

"It all depends on what Xiao Heng can accomplish!"

The matter in her heart came to an end, and Su Minglang breathed a sigh of relief. The feeling of the illness going away suddenly surged up in her. She felt her limbs become weak and powerless, and her eyelids felt as if they were weighed by a thousand pounds and she couldn't lift them.

"If you are tired, just go to the side!" Xiao Ye said tremblingly as he supported her and walked.

"I still have some things to consider." Su Minglang paused, "You don't have to stay with me. I can handle myself."

"You can go if you want." Xiao Ye spread his hands and said, "Don't worry about me. I won't bother you."

"Forget it!" Su Minglang waved his hands. "If Li continues to play like this, I wonder how long Xiao Heng can hold on?"

"Your Majesty is worried about her health. I'm afraid she won't be able to remember it for a while!" Xiao Ye said worriedly.

"It would be great if I could use her skills to extend the time." Su Minglang muttered.
