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

After Xuan Yue finished speaking, she followed the palace maid and left the place to change clothes in the palace near the lake.

By the time she finished changing her clothes, the Fifth Prince had been judged by the imperial physician to be out of danger and was sent to the Yanx Palace where the Fifth Prince and Concubine Shu lived.

Xiao Ji, Xie Yao and others were all there.

As Xuan Yue walked out of the hall, she heard the crying of Concubine Shu coming from inside. Her heart sank and she stepped into the hall.

"Xuan Yue is here."

The eldest princess waved to her, Xuan Yue knelt down and saluted, and was about to walk over when someone grabbed her hand the next second.

"Miss Xuan, I've heard everything. Thanks to you for saving Xiaowu, you are the benefactor of me and Xiaowu!"

It's Concubine Shu.

Xuan Yue lowered her eyes, "You are too polite, Madam Shufei. I am glad that His Highness the Fifth Prince is safe."

Concubine Shu's eyes were red as she held Xuan Yue's hand tightly. "The imperial physician said that Xiao Wu was drugged before being thrown down. If Miss Xuan hadn't rescued him in time, I'm afraid..."

"Your Highness the Fifth Prince is a man of good fortune, so Your Majesty the Concubine doesn't have to worry too much." Xuan Yue said soothingly.

"Mother Shu, Miss Xuan." Xie Yao said, "I ordered someone to prepare ginger soup. Let Miss Xuan have some first to drive away the cold."

"Yes, yes, yes, yes." Concubine Shu nodded repeatedly before letting go of Xuan Yue's hand.

Steaming hot ginger soup was served, and Xuan Yue drank it all under the gaze of everyone. Her fair cheeks turned a light red because of the hot soup.

After confirming that the fifth prince was fine, everyone felt relieved.

Xiao Ji said in a deep voice, "This person dared to attack Xiao Wu in the palace. I will investigate thoroughly."

He looked at Xuan Yue, "Miss Xuan, you were the one who discovered this. Did you see the characteristics of the person who did it?"

Xuan Yue's fingers tucked in slightly under her sleeve, feeling the touch of her palm... She spoke in a steady voice, "To answer your Highness, I only saw a figure from behind when I left. Apart from that, nothing else."

"Xiuyun can also testify to this."

Xiuyun is the maid who follows her today.

Xiao Ji nodded. He naturally knew about this matter. Before Xuan Yue came, he had someone carefully question Xiuyun.

"If Miss Xuan thinks of anything suspicious again in the next few days, please be sure to tell me."

Xuan Yue lowered her eyes, "Yes, Your Highness."

After comforting Concubine Shu, everyone left one after another after the Fifth Prince woke up.

Xiao Ji still had some political affairs to deal with, so he left first after saying goodbye to the eldest princess.

Sinan followed immediately.

Xuan Yue had been following the eldest princess obediently. When she heard the voice, she looked up. Just one glance made her eyes freeze slightly, and she froze in place.

"Miss Xuan?"

Suqin's voice rang out, awakening Xuan Yue's thoughts.

Xuan Yue immediately withdrew his gaze, pursed his lips and smiled faintly at Suqin, looking shy.

Suqin smiled and said, "Miss Xuan, the princess said that you have suffered a lot today and have made great contributions. She has granted you two days of rest."

"Thank you, Princess, for your compassion." Xuan Yue thanked her obediently.

Suqin then took a few steps forward to support the eldest princess.

Xuan Yue followed forward, but as she walked, she looked in the direction Xiao Ji left.

His eyes were full of thought.

But what Xuan Yue didn't realize was that Su Qin had already noticed her absent-mindedness and looked back at her after leaving.

Seeing Xuan Yue's gaze...

Suqin frowned slightly and whispered to the Princess, "Your Highness, Miss Xuan seems to be...looking at the Crown Prince?"

The eldest princess paused, looked back, and frowned.

……

After leaving the Yanxi Palace, Xiao Ji ordered Si Nan, "Investigate this matter thoroughly and find the real culprit behind this!"

This person was able to attack the Fifth Prince silently in the palace, so he must be someone close to the Fifth Prince.

So just now in the Yanx Palace, he had sought the advice of Concubine Shu and took control of all the people around the Fifth Prince.

"Yes." Si Nan ordered, "Please rest assured, Your Highness!"

Sinan turned and left to do his business.

Xiao Ji looked back and stopped to wait for Xie Yao. Xie Yao realized what he meant and quickened her pace to walk to his side. "Your Highness?"

Xiao Ji said, "I'm wondering why the person behind the scenes would attack Xiao Wu at this time."

The Fifth Prince is young and poses no threat to anyone at this stage...

"Princess Li?" Xie Yao was guessing.

After all, Concubine Shu has tortured Concubine Li a lot these days. If Concubine Li wants to take revenge, it is not impossible that she will turn to attack the Fifth Prince.

Xiao Ji said: "I will ask Si Nan to investigate, but I think... it's most likely not her."

Concubine Li had been tortured for so long. If she wanted to do something, she would have done it long ago. Xiao Ji probably knew something about her life in the Weiyang Palace.

It can be described as a life worse than death.

Moreover, his people had the Weiyang Palace under tight surveillance. If Concubine Li still had the ability to leak information and murder the Fifth Prince...

Then Concubine Li would not have fallen to this point today.

Xie Yao thought about it and agreed.

"Is it Xiaowu's enemy? That's not right. Xiaowu has a good personality and treats servants kindly. What kind of grudge could make someone murder a five-year-old child like this?"

The couple thought for a moment, but had no clue for the time being, so they could only put aside their speculation and wait for Si Nan's investigation results.

Xie Yao concluded: "In any case, the best news is that Xiaowu is fine."

"Thanks to Miss Xuan."

Xiao Ji returned to the Yangxin Palace, and Xie Yao turned around and went to the Yanx Palace.

There were a lot of people around just now, so she couldn't say some things.

Yanxi Palace.

Shufei obviously knew that she would come back, so she had dismissed everyone and stayed alone by the Fifth Prince's bedside.

Xie Yao was led into the palace by Concubine Shu's personal maid.

She also heard the Fifth Prince's childish, hoarse, yet pretentious voice comforting Concubine Shu, "Don't cry, Mother. Little Five is fine."

"It's all because of Xiaowu's unfilial behavior that he made Mother worry..."

The Fifth Prince was precocious and sensible. He had just been rescued from the brink of death and was able to comfort Concubine Shu in this way. Concubine Shu was naturally distressed and burst into tears, "Little Fifth, it was all because of Mother that she failed to protect you."

Xie Yao was also a mother. When she heard the conversation between Concubine Shu and the Fifth Prince, she felt a soreness in her nose and a slight warmth in her eyes.

If she were in the position of Consort Shu...

She must be going crazy.

"Aunt." Xie Yao took a deep breath, walked in, and called out, "Don't worry, we will definitely find the murderer behind this."

"No matter who attacks Xiaowu, we will never let them go!"

Concubine Shu wiped away her tears and nodded gently to Xie Yao, "Of course, I believe you and the prince."

"Xiao Wu has suffered." Xie Yao sat next to Concubine Shu and touched Xiao Wu's head. "Sister-in-law brought you some snacks you like. Can you have a small bite later?"

The fifth prince's eyes lit up immediately. He glanced at Concubine Shu with a childlike smile, "Thank you, sister-in-law. You are the best~"

Seeing that both of them were smiling, Concubine Shu also forced a smile.

Xie Yao reminded, "But you can only taste a small piece. You are weak and can't eat too much. When you have recovered, your sister-in-law will bring you more."

The fifth prince nodded repeatedly, "I will listen to my sister-in-law!"

The fifth prince was still very weak and fell asleep quickly after drinking the medicine. Only then did Xie Yao and Concubine Shu leave the inner room.

Concubine Shu changed her tearful and weak look. A murderous intent flashed in her eyes. "Yaoyao, if you and the Crown Prince find the murderer, you must hand him over to me for punishment!"

She wants to avenge her son personally!

Xie Yao nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to my aunt."

"Aunt, Yaoyao understands your anger. I am also very angry, but even for Xiaowu's sake, you have to take care of yourself."

Concubine Shu's eyes softened and she nodded, "Don't worry, Xiaowu is still young, I want to watch him grow up with my own eyes."

Concubine Shu changed the subject and said, "I just asked Xiaowu, and he said that he became drowsy after drinking a cup of tea served by his personal eunuch, and he doesn't remember anything that happened afterwards."

"The eunuch has been taken away by Si Nan for interrogation."

"If you come up with anything, please let me know immediately."

Xie Yao nodded and agreed to everything, "Okay."

After Xie Yao comforted Concubine Shu, she had someone send a bunch of supplements to the Yanx Palace before leaving.

Not long after she left the Yanxi Palace, she ran into an acquaintance.
