Xie Yao's hand was held by Xiao Ji. His palm was broad and warm, and she was very familiar with it.

She was forced to stop, suppressing the throbbing in her heart, and said in a cold voice: "Your Highness, proceed step by step."

"I know." Xiao Ji paused and repeated, "I know."

Xie Yao heard the difference and turned to look at Xiao Ji.

The expectation in her eyes faded away when she saw Xiao Ji's eyes. She lowered her eyes and looked at her wrist that was held by Xiao Ji. "What does Your Highness want to say?"

"I..." Xiao Ji just started to speak, but was interrupted by Xie Yao, "If Your Highness wants to apologize, there is no need."

"I made the decision to treat His Highness. Your Highness has never done anything to wrong me."

Although there was sadness in Xie Yao's eyes, she was mostly open-minded.

Xiao Ji's throat rolled over, and he looked directly into Xie Yao's eyes and said, "Although I don't remember what happened in the past, everything I promised you in the past still stands."

These words carry a lot of weight.

Xie Yao asked in return, "Your Highness, do you know what you promised me before?"

The corners of Xiao Ji's lips moved, forming a tiny arc. "It's all my decision."

Therefore, even if he didn't know the answer exactly, he could still guess it.

Xie Yao's eyes softened a little.

Xiao Ji took out a letter from his bosom and placed it in Xie Yao's hand. "This is a letter from Northern Xinjiang. I..."

Before he could finish his words, the anxious voice of the Prince's Housekeeper came from outside, "Your Highness, the palace urgently summons you!"

This person just barged in without even notifying anyone, which shows how urgent the situation was.

Xiao Ji frowned and looked at Xie Yao.

Xie Yao said, "Go ahead."

Xiao Ji felt relieved and immediately walked out, and Si Nan followed immediately.

Xie Yao watched Xiao Ji's back disappear from her sight, and all the expressions on her face returned to calm...

She has been very scared these days, afraid that His Highness would disappoint her.

Fortunately... fortunately not.

Xie Yao returned to the main house.

She opened the letter in her hand. The letter should have been sent by the eldest son of the Wei family using "lightning". It wrote about their message to the second prince of Northern Frontier.

After some discussion, the Second Prince of Northern Frontier agreed to their terms, but also made some demands...

Xie Yao just smiled at the requests.

The Second Prince of Northern Frontier is hypocritical and insolent. He is willing to cooperate, but does not want to bear the stigma.

However, this answer was within Xie Yao's expectations.

"Crown Princess." Zhu Qing walked in from outside with a faint smile on her face. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to bring a message."

"He said that Princess Consort, please don't worry, nothing serious has happened in the palace."

Xie Yao frowned. If nothing had happened, why would there be an urgent summons from the palace? But she quickly realized that there was another possibility... something had happened that was inconvenient to pass on.

However, Xiao Ji's act of sending someone to deliver the message still made Xie Yao feel a little sweet in her heart.

His Highness has proved with his actions that what he said today is true, and he will be the same as before.

"Okay." Xie Yao nodded. "Tell His Highness to take care of his health despite his busy schedule. Zhao Zhao Sui Sui and I will wait for him at home."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qing's pretty face flushed slightly, and she couldn't hide her joy. "Yes, please rest assured, Princess Consort. I promise to pass on every word to Your Highness!"

When Xiao Ji received the message from Xie Yao, he had just entered the palace.

Si Nan followed him and, after finishing Xie Yao's words in a very serious tone, he said, "Your Highness, you said you were going to see the little prince and the little princess today, but... you seem..."

"Stop talking too much." Xiao Ji's voice was a little high, with a hint of guilt inside, not to Si Nan, but to his two children.

Indeed...I used them as an excuse.

"What did His Highness say?" The eunuch who was jogging ahead and leading the way hurriedly stopped.

Xiao Ji: "Nothing."

The young eunuch responded and immediately continued to lead the way, heading straight to the main hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Princess Yongle and Consort Shu were both waiting in the palace. The princess looked haggard. She looked up at Xiao Ji and said in a tired voice, "The prince is here."

Xiao Ji's expression was serious, and he immediately stepped forward, "Aunt, how is Father doing?"

Just as Xie Yao guessed, Xiao Ji already knew the reason for the urgent summons: the emperor suddenly vomited blood!

This matter concerns the emperor's health and the stability of the court, so it is natural that such a matter cannot be passed on verbally.

Princess Yongle had a cold expression, clearly very dissatisfied with the imperial physicians. "These doctors are truly useless! They all say there's nothing wrong, but they can't even figure out why the emperor is vomiting blood."

Glancing at Princess Yongle's cold gaze, the imperial doctors all lowered their heads and knelt on the ground, "We are incompetent. Please calm down, Princess."

"Hmph!" The princess snorted coldly. It was obvious that these words did not calm her down at all, but made her even angrier. "A bunch of trash!"

The imperial doctors didn't dare to say a word in response to the eldest princess's rebuke.

They don't know either.

It is obvious that His Majesty's condition is not worse at this moment, but is better than when he first fell into a coma.

It's just that the vomiting of blood today is inexplicable...

Finally, the director of the Imperial Hospital whispered, "How about... asking the doctor from the Crown Prince's Mansion to come and take a look?"

The emperor's current treatment method was proposed by the court physician, but the court physician did not participate in the treatment after proposing it. Instead, Xiao Ji made the decision and returned to the Prince's Mansion.

No one remembered him at first, but when something happened, the imperial doctors immediately remembered the court physician.

Xiao Ji did not make a decision, but looked at the eldest princess.

The princess was silent for a moment, then asked Xiao Ji, "What do you think, Prince?"

Xiao Ji said, "I'll listen to my aunt."

The princess thought for a moment and said, "Then let the doctor be summoned to the palace. This time he won't have to return and will participate in the emperor's treatment throughout."

Xiao Ji immediately sent someone to find the palace doctor.

He knew that Xie Yao had asked the court physician to treat Lin Shuang's face, but Si Bei had gathered so many doctors, and as long as the court physician left behind the method, there would be no shortage of people who could do it well.

Everyone was waiting for the court physician to enter the palace.

The eldest princess then looked at Xiao Ji and asked, "Did the Crown Prince leave the palace today?"

Xiao Ji nodded honestly, "Yes, aunt."

The eldest princess only asked one question and didn't say anything else, but she seemed to know everything.

Since the princess didn't ask, Xiao Ji didn't say anything and just sat quietly aside.

Fortunately, the court physician came to the palace quickly, and after examining the emperor's body, he had an idea of ​​what was going on.

He looked at the imperial physicians kneeling beside him. Although he felt sympathy in his heart, he still answered honestly, "Your Highness, regarding the eldest princess's words, His Majesty may have used something that is incompatible with the medicine."

"boom!"

After the princess realized what the court doctor meant, she slapped the table beside her and said, "How dare you!"

She had just scolded the imperial doctors more to vent her anger, but now she was really angry.

What a bunch of trash!

In the past few days, the emperor has been guarded by the imperial physician for twelve hours every day, but he was still plotted against...

She swept her cold eyes over the imperial doctors, not disguising the suspicion in them at all.

It seems...it's time to clean up the Imperial Hospital!
