After the morning court session, Emperor Wenxuan decided to go see the crown prince, so he took Empress Li and Imperial Physician Zhang to the Eastern Palace.

In the East Palace, the prince was half lying on the bed, his face still a little pale. Liu Shuyao sat beside the bed and took the medicine handed over by the maid and fed it to the prince personally.

Outside the door, the eunuch shouted, "Your Majesty, the Queen is here!"

Liu Shuyao put down the medicine bowl and quickly stood up to greet him, "Your Highness, I greet your father and your mother."

The prince also wanted to get up, but it was a bit difficult. Seeing this, Queen Li hurried forward and said distressedly, "You'er, how are you?"

Emperor Wenxuan also said in a deep voice, "Just lie down. Doctor Zhang, please take a look at the prince."

"I obey your order"

Upon hearing this, Empress Li also made way for him. Imperial Physician Zhang then stepped forward to feel the prince's pulse and looked at his wound. "Your Majesty, Empress, the prince's wound is not deep, and the previous doctor treated it very well. I will prescribe another prescription, and the prince will just need to rest for a few days."

The prince chuckled, "Thank you, Imperial Doctor Zhang."

Emperor Wenxuan and Empress Li were relieved when they heard this. They were shocked when they heard the palace servants report last night.

Queen Li breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Your Majesty, you cannot let the murderer go. It is too bold to assassinate the prince under the emperor's feet."

Emperor Wenxuan said indifferently, "Don't worry, I have handed this matter over to the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture for detailed investigation."

The prince was a little surprised. No matter what happened in the future, at least this time he and the seventh brother were on the same side. It must be those old guys behind the fifth and sixth brothers who were causing trouble.

"Father, this time it's a good thing that Old Seven is here, otherwise those people would have succeeded. Old Seven is a trustworthy person, why don't you let him do the trial?"

But Emperor Wenxuan didn't want to break the balance he had built, so he said calmly, "The decision has been made in the morning court today, so there's no need to talk about it anymore. After all, you guys were all there. Zhang Yu is fair, and he will naturally give you an explanation."

The prince didn't know what to say, "Yes, father has considered everything carefully."

Emperor Wenxuan nodded and said, "Well, in that case, you should take good care of yourself these few days and put aside the affairs of state for the time being."

Queen Li was also unwilling in her heart, but she smiled, "Your father is right, health is the most important thing, Shuyao take good care of the prince"

Liu Shuyao bowed and responded. The prince chuckled, "Thank you, father and mother, for your concern. Shuyao took good care of me."

Liu Shuyao served him wholeheartedly last night, and he naturally saw it.

After they left, the prince thought for a moment, then told Liu Shuyao, "When you have time, spend more time with Miss Bai. I think the Seventh Prince still cares a lot about Miss Bai."

Liu Shuyao smiled, "Your Highness, Shuyao also had the same idea. Judging from the current situation, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is still on our side. This time, thanks to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, why don't you ask Miss Bai to come over and express her gratitude, so as to get closer to us."

The prince nodded in satisfaction. Liu Shuyao was generous and managed the East Palace in an orderly manner. She could also help him analyze the situation and give him some advice. She was a good wife. "I am naturally relieved about Yao'er's work. Now that the East Palace is handed over to you, you can handle some interpersonal relationships as you wish."

"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness. Yao'er will not let Your Highness down," Liu Shuyao smiled softly. Now the prince trusts her more and more. What she needs to do is to take control of the East Palace before the prince welcomes other new people into the palace, so that her position as the crown princess can be stable in the future.

At the Zuo Xiangfu, Bai Chuxiao was not surprised at all to receive the invitation from the Crown Princess. However, the invitation was given to Xie first. Bai Chuwan knew about it and also insisted on going with them to visit the Crown Prince. She hadn't spoken to the Crown Prince for a long time. What if the Crown Prince forgot about her?

But Bai Chuxiao did think that she was overthinking. The prince would not give up the support of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion. Even if she did nothing, the prince would still come to see her when he was free. Why should she rush to do so?

Bai Chuwan said pitifully, "Big sister, can Wan'er go with you?"

"But didn't father forbid you to have contact with the prince? Now, second sister, you don't even listen to father's words?" Bai Chuxiao curled her lips.

"Sister, even if father knew about the Crown Princess' invitation, he couldn't say anything. Just take me with you," Bai Chuwan said while biting her lip.

Bai Chuxiao didn't think so, but bringing her along would be fine if it could cause trouble for Bai Linan.

When they arrived at the East Palace, Liu Shuyao actually came out to greet them personally. She held Bai Chuxiao's hand and said, "Sister Bai, you don't think it's too abrupt for me to invite you here, do you?"

Bai Chuxiao smiled faintly and shook her head, "How could it be?"

Liu Shuyao then said, "This time, thanks to His Royal Highness Prince Yan's rescue, so I want to thank you very much."

Bai Chuxiao chuckled, "I didn't contribute much to this matter. If the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess want to thank His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, they can just go find him."

"Sister Bai, when you marry His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, we will be a family now. There is no need to be so formal. The Crown Prince will personally thank His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan. As the future Princess of Yan, I will naturally thank you as well."

Liu Shuyao spoke appropriately, and there was nothing wrong with her. Bai Chuxiao smiled and said, "You are too polite, Crown Princess."

Bai Chuwan's face was not very good. She still felt a little embarrassed when she saw Liu Shuyao. After all, their relationship was not very good before. In the future, they might have to live under the same roof and compete for the same man. However, with the change in status, she could no longer be arrogant.

Liu Shuyao smiled nonchalantly as if nothing had happened before, "Miss Bai is here too? But you are here to see the Crown Prince. How about I have someone take you to see the Crown Prince?"

Bai Chuwan didn't believe that Liu Shuyao would be so kind, but for now she decided to meet the Crown Prince first. "Really? Sister Liu is willing for Wan'er to visit the Crown Prince?"

Liu Shuyao didn't care that she didn't call her the Crown Princess but Sister Liu, and she didn't argue with her like before. Now was not the time to argue about these things, so she smiled and nodded, and called Cui'er to take her to see the Crown Prince.

Bai Chuxiao looked at this scene and sighed in her heart. Liu Shuyao was very cunning. Bai Chuwan's future would be uncertain.

After Bai Chuwan followed Cui'er away in ecstasy, Liu Shuyao didn't put on airs as a Crown Princess and smiled faintly, "I'll take Sister Bai to walk around the mansion again. We'll be sisters-in-law in the future, so it's not a bad thing to walk around more."

Bai Chuxiao couldn't refuse. Since she was already here, she could only chat with her.

"Sister Bai is so lucky. I think His Royal Highness Prince Yan really cares about you," Liu Shuyao said with envy.

Bai Chuxiao chuckled but did not refute, "I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also very good to the Crown Princess."

This is not an endorsement. Along the way, the people in the East Palace have been very respectful to Liu Shuyao. Without the respect of the prince, these servants would not be like this. She also admires Liu Shuyao for being able to gain a foothold so quickly.

Liu Shuyao sighed, "You know my sister's situation. Without my father's support, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in the position of Crown Princess for long." So she was still very concerned about winning over Bai Chuxiao.
