When Qiuyao said that she was just one of them, she felt a little disappointed, and she couldn't even explain where this emotion came from.

Qiuyao smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"

She shook her head without explaining.

The two of them stayed by Qin Fengtian's bed until noon, when Qiao Yue woke up Qiu Yao who was leaning against the bed, "Sister, wake up quickly."

Qiu Yao was sleepy and propped herself up on the bed, "Is the prince feeling better?"

Qiao Yue looked worried, "No, it seems to be even hotter." She touched Qin Fengtian's forehead.

Qin Fengtian's cheeks were red and swollen, his lips were dry and chapped, and he was unconscious from the fever. He didn't respond at all when he was called several times.

"How could this happen?" Qiu Yao woke up instantly and paced back and forth in front of the bed. "I took the medicine and rubbed my body so many times, why is it that it doesn't get better and is even worse?"

Qiao Yue rolled her eyes and said, "Sister, I'll go to the Imperial Hospital to ask for the doctor, and you go and inform the Queen."

Qiuyao was so anxious that she couldn't think straight, but fortunately, she listened to her and the two of them went their separate ways.

Qiao Yue left the Zhongcui Palace, her steps getting faster and faster. The uneasy feeling almost swallowed her up. She ran, but not to the Imperial Hospital, but towards the Yangxin Palace.

The queen had already gone to bed, and Zhou Fuhai went to report it. Qiuyao waited at the door for a long time, and then saw the queen come out without wearing an outer robe, but just a cloak.

"What happened?" The queen hurried down the stairs.

Zhou Fuhai followed behind her with a stern face, echoing: "The Queen Mother asked you what you wanted to do, tell me in detail."

Qiu Yao made a bitter face and told Qin Fengtian that he had a high fever for three hours and there was no improvement.

The queen was struck by lightning as if by a bolt from the blue. She looked up and saw a dark mass above her head, as if she had returned to the day when Qin Fengtian had a high fever for seven days.

Last time, it was because of her negligence that Qin Fengtian turned from a good person into a mentally retarded child. This time, she must not repeat the same mistake!

The queen hurried towards Qin Fengtian's bedroom, with Qiu Yao and Zhou Fuhai jogging behind her.

When the Queen rushed to Qin Fengtian's bed, she was stunned. Qin Fengtian was as hot as a stove and no matter how she called him, he couldn't be woken up.

"Imperial physician! Where is the imperial physician?" the queen screamed like crazy.

"I've already invited them." Qiuyao said weakly.

The queen glanced at the basin on the ground, quickly rolled up her sleeves, picked up the handkerchief in the basin, wrung it dry, sat down beside the bed to wipe Qin Fengtian's face, and murmured, "Tian'er, don't scare your mother, Tian'er..."

"Empress..." Qiuyao called out, wanting to remind her that the water was cold and that she should use warm water to wipe her body. However, Zhou Fuhai stretched out his arm to stop her, shook his head, and motioned her not to speak.

Qiuyao had no choice but to swallow her words back unhappily.

A quarter of an hour later, the queen could no longer sit still and asked, "Why hasn't the imperial physician come yet?"

Qiuyao was also puzzled. Why did Qiao Yue take so long?

As soon as the queen finished speaking, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door. Qiao Yue finally came back with the imperial physician.

"Hurry!" the queen urged.

Because she was worried about Qin Fengtian's condition, the Queen was in no mood to punish Qiao Yue, and she didn't care why she had been gone for so long.

Qiu Yao secretly pulled Qiao Yue aside and said in a serious tone, "Did you go to the Yangxin Palace again?"

In the past few days, she found that Qiao Yue went out whenever she had time. Where else could she go except the Yangxin Palace? She said so much that night, but Qiao Yue ignored her? !

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Qiuyao understood.

She shook off Qiao Yue's hand, her face flushed with anger, "If you do this again, I won't care about you anymore!"

Qiao Yue looked back in the direction of the Queen. They were surrounding Qin Fengtian's bed and didn't notice them.

She took Qiuyao's hand and tried to apologize in a coquettish way, but Qiuyao got angry and ran out.

She took two steps forward, but then gave up when she realized she had some unfinished business to deal with.

That night, the Zhongcui Palace was brightly lit, and no one in the palace could rest.

The next day.

Zhuque Street was crowded with cheering people. The roads were packed with people and laughter was everywhere.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have finally returned to the capital! They are our heroes!"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince and General Xiao drove away the hateful Northern Wei people and captured the traitor Qin Fengtian! They have done a great service for Liuli! They are our true heroes!"

"The Crown Princess is a wise and brave woman, and she is incompetent! Is there any woman in the world who can stand in front of thousands of troops and remain calm like the Crown Princess? She is so clear and logical, and she directly used words to awaken Liuli's soldiers! Together, they rebelled against the traitor!"

"We were able to capture Liangcheng without losing a single soldier, all thanks to the Crown Princess!"

"Move aside! I want to see the Crown Prince's grace!"

"Get out of the way! I want the grace of the Crown Princess!"

……

The people argued fiercely about who had made the greatest contribution, the Crown Prince or the Crown Princess, and no one could tell who was better.

Only after they passed the city gate and saw the convoy of carriages emerging in the distance did they all shut their mouths, stare at the convoy with serious faces, and slowly approach.

Inside the carriage.

The tea set was piled in the corner, and Nian Susu was lying on the tea table with his face sideways, sleeping soundly.

"Wake up, Princess Consort. We're home." Qin Junyu held the jade pendant in his hand and used the tassel to touch her face.

“Don’t bother me…” Nian Susu reached out and hit his jade pendant, then turned his face to the other side and continued to sleep.

Qin Junyu had no choice but to lower his voice and raise his tone: "Nian Susu! Get up and recite the first chapter of the Book of Songs!"

"Ah?" Nian Susu sat up without even opening his eyes, as if it were a conditioned reflex.

She opened her eyes, wide open, but her gaze was dull and unfocused. The carriage was shaking, and her head was swaying from side to side, as if she was not falling over.

Qin Junyu thought it was funny. He had just said it on a whim, but he didn't expect it to be so effective.

Nian Susu once mentioned in a casual chat that she slept very deeply, so deeply that one would not even notice if someone next to her died. But there was one situation where she would wake up immediately, and that was when she "accidentally" fell asleep in class and the teacher slammed the table and called her name to answer a question.

He even made fun of her at that time. He didn't expect that a young lady would fall asleep while reading.

Nian Susu didn't feel embarrassed at all, he straightened his chest and told him: "So what? Not only did I sleep, I also talked back to the teacher and skipped school with my classmates..."

Qin Junyu was shocked. He grew up in the palace, and he never slacked off when the tutor taught him. He completed his homework on time, or even ahead of time. When others were reading the Four Books and Five Classics, he had already started studying "Zizhi Tongjian" and "Guo Lun". He spent almost his entire childhood in the study.

He didn't understand how the young ladies and gentlemen outside the palace studied, but he didn't dare to imagine that they could be so relaxed that sleeping in class became the lightest "crime".
