After marrying the heirless prince, I gave birth to three children

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Although the emperor still had some doubts about Wei Chan's words, he believed that this matter could not be taken lightly. The important officials from the six ministries arrived soon and discussed the next steps directly in the Yangxin Palace.

At the Prince's Mansion, Xie Yao was not only waiting for news from His Highness, but was also concerned about Wei Chan's safety.

She was relieved to learn that Wei Chan was safely sent back to the Wei family by people in the palace.

She didn't know if it was because of his old age and poor health, but she always felt that the emperor had become... a lot more stupid in the past two years.

Although he was not necessarily very wise in the past, he is becoming increasingly unreliable now.

Early the next morning.

Li Dajian then went to the prince's residence in person with medicinal materials and the imperial physician.

When Xie Yao heard the message from the steward, she felt annoyed... again!

What exactly did the Emperor want? Was he eager for His Highness to die? Such "concern" only brought her trouble.

"Crown Princess." Zhu Qing asked, "What should we do?"

Someone came from the palace, and the imperial doctors insisted on treating His Highness, but His Highness's current condition... the room was still closed.

Xie Yao raised her hand and rubbed her temple. The situation was urgent, the Northern Territory was in chaos, and the Emperor still had the mind to care about His Highness...

"Invite Li Dajian here, and let the court physician deal with the imperial physicians. If that doesn't work, make a fake one for them to take a look." Si Nan or Si Bei, take some weakening medicine, and then let the imperial physicians examine them through the gauze curtain.

Just deal with it.

Zhu Qing immediately turned around to make arrangements.

Soon, Li Dajian was invited in alone. As soon as he entered, he bowed and said, "This old servant pays his respects to the Crown Princess."

Xie Yao stepped forward and helped Li Dajian up, "You are too polite, Dajian, please stand up."

"His Highness is still unconscious. I'm afraid he won't be able to meet with the eunuch for the time being..."

Li Dajian immediately said, "Your Highness's health is of paramount importance. I dare not disturb you."

"Please take a seat, Eunuch." Xie Yao politely asked Eunuch Li to sit down and ordered someone to bring him tea. Eunuch Li rested half of his butt on the chair, his face full of smiles, and he looked very reserved.

Xie Yao took a sip of tea and turned her eyes slightly to look at Li Dajian. "Thank you for what happened last time, Li Dajian."

She was talking about the last time with the two children.

Although she didn't get the news in advance last time, she was able to delay until Emperor Yongle came to rescue her, which was naturally due to the cooperation of Li Dajian.

Li Dajian's eyebrows relaxed, a smile on his face, and he said meaningfully: "You are too polite, my princess. I didn't do anything."

For things like this, just do it, as long as both parties have a clear idea in mind.

But it was impossible for him to admit it.

Xie Yao raised her chin slightly, and Zhu Qing came forward with a tray on which lay a stack of banknotes. She naturally knew that Li Dajian, as a favorite of the emperor, would not be short of money.

These were just her thoughts. After all, although she didn't know the reason, Eunuch Li did help her.

Li Dajian looked at the stack of banknotes, his eyes flickered slightly, but his face was serious and he said: "What do you mean by this, Crown Princess? These old slaves cannot be accepted!"

Xie Yao's expression remained unchanged as she smiled and said, "These are just my thanks, nothing else. I hope you will accept them, Master."

Xie Yao said this sincerely.

Although Li Dajian was very tempted, he still refused sternly and did not touch the silver note until he left the Prince's Mansion.

Before leaving, he said to Xie Yao, "There's no need to test me, Crown Princess. This time... it's all because of the late Queen."

"The late queen saved my life, and I shall repay her."

Xie Yao had some guesses in her mind, but when she actually heard these words, she still felt quite complicated. From these patchwork words, she knew exactly that the late queen was a very good person.

"Crown Princess." The court physician whispered, "I followed your instructions and had Si Nan take the medicine and lie in bed to deceive the imperial physicians."

"Fortunately, these imperial doctors don't often take the prince's pulse, so it's relatively easy to deceive them." If it were him, he would be able to tell at once that this was not the prince's pulse.

Xie Yao said, "Thank you for your hard work, doctor."

The court doctor said it was not hard, and then withdrew. Xie Yao turned back to the main courtyard and asked, "Is there any news from the capital today?"

Wei Chan entered the palace overnight yesterday. Today, the emperor should take the next step no matter what. After all, the war on the front line is urgent and cannot be delayed!

But Zhu Qing shook his head and said, "To answer the Crown Princess, the capital is completely quiet and there is no news from the northern border."

Xie Yao's face suddenly darkened.

What exactly is the emperor going to do?

But Xie Yao soon had no time to think about the emperor's affairs, because there was finally a noise from the door that had been closed for three days.

"what--"

A slightly suppressed and painful voice came from inside the house. Xie Yao immediately recognized that it was the voice of His Highness.

She immediately stood up and looked towards the house. She took a few steps forward involuntarily, her eyes full of worry.

Although she really wanted to go in, she didn't dare to go in rashly before Shanshan gave the order.

I can't let my impulse at this moment affect His Highness, and I don't even dare to express my concern, for fear of distracting the people inside.

She clenched her hands tightly, her beautiful eyes filled with tension and worry.

Your Highness...you must be well.

Xie Yao paced back and forth outside the door, feeling that each day passed like a year. Si Nan and others who had already woken up were also guarding the yard. There were quite a few people standing in the yard at this moment.

at last……

Xie Yao keenly heard the footsteps coming from inside the house, coming towards her step by step.

It’s…Shanshan.

Shanshan opened the door and looked as if all the energy had been sucked out of her. She looked listless and seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

Xie Yao immediately asked, "Miss Shanshan, how is His Highness doing?"

The glaring sunlight made Shanshan squint her eyes, yawned, and moved aside. She said to Xie Yao, "Everything is going well, go in."

Xie Yao immediately walked in impatiently. Si Nan and the others were about to follow, but were stopped by Shan Shan, "Wait, you can't go in yet."

Xie Yao paused slightly, then walked towards the bed without hesitation.

Just by seeing the prince's condition, Xie Yao believed Shanshan's words. Unlike Shanshan's listless look, although Xiao Ji was still unconscious, his face was no longer as pale as usual.

His brows and eyes are relaxed, and his sleeping posture is quiet and peaceful.

"Your Highness." Xie Yao sat down beside the bed, reached out and held Xiao Ji's hand, looking at him with deep affection in her eyes that she could not restrain.

His Highness hadn't woken up yet, but when Xie Yao touched his warm hand and felt his heartbeat, her heart sank.

When she was outside the door, Xie Yao was extremely anxious.

But now, sitting beside His Highness, even though he was still unconscious, Xie Yao felt as if her heart had found a home.

It made her feel extremely at ease.
