The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

Back at the inn, Lou Yishang looked at the envoys from the Western Regions.

"Why didn't you let me continue? Master Mu, do you think that I will no longer be able to intimidate you once I arrive in Daxia?"

The envoy saluted Lou Yishang.

"When I came here, the king instructed me to pay close attention to the princess's marriage. Xu Qingye already has a family background and is clearly unsuitable for the princess. Furthermore, he currently holds no military power and his rank in Daxia is low, so he can't help the Western Regions at all. The princess shouldn't make decisions based on her own selfish desires. She should marry someone of noble status."

Lou Yishang looked unhappy.

"It seems that Master Mu has already made his selection for this princess."

The envoy bowed to Lou Yishang again.

"The Great Xia Emperor is in his prime, and the princess is young and beautiful. If she receives his favor and gives birth to an heir, the entire Western Region can mobilize its entire clan to assist him in ascending the throne."

Lou Yishang sneered.

"And use my son as a puppet of the Western Regions?"

The Emperor of Daxia has three thousand beauties in his harem. What kind of beauties is missing?

Even if she entered the harem, it would only be a temporary novelty. She didn't want to fight with so many women in the palace and get hurt.

Lou Yishang looked at the envoy.

"Which instruction is from my father or my uncle? Lord Mu, I am not stupid. Even if you don't say it, I know it very well."

"Princess, I didn't..."

Before the envoy could finish his words, Lou Yishang interrupted him harshly.

"Whether it happened or not, there's no need to discuss this further!" She said solemnly, "This princess has come all the way to Daxia to marry, and I've already made a sacrifice for the Western Regions. If you can't act according to my wishes, then you can return to the Western Regions with my remains."

……

Xu Wencheng returned home at 9:00 PM.

As soon as I entered the yard, Song Yuntang was leading Hao Ting to play on the swing in the front yard.

The child shouted excitedly while swinging on the swing.

"Mom, higher, higher."

The scene was extremely warm.

Xu Wencheng walked towards the mother and son with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, Hao Ting, I'm back."

When Song Yuntang saw the visitor, his face showed joy.

"Wencheng is back."

The young man's features became more steady. Perhaps it was because he had experienced fighting on the battlefield, but there was a hint of murderous aura about him.

Song Yuntang was not afraid.

Hao Ting probably had no impression of his second uncle. When he saw him, he was a little scared at first. After getting off the swing, he went straight into Song Yuntang's arms.

Song Yuntang squatted down to comfort her.

"Hao Ting, this is my second uncle, hurry up and call someone."

When Xu Haoting heard that it was his second uncle, he looked in his direction curiously.

Xu Wencheng smiled, stepped forward and took the child into his arms.

"It's not like Second Uncle hasn't held you before, what are you afraid of?"

Hao Ting curled his lips.

"Hao Ting doesn't want his second uncle, Hao Ting wants his father."

"Hey!" Xu Wencheng looked at him with a smile, "Second Uncle doesn't want it? Do you know what you are talking about?"

Seeing that Hao Ting was about to be scared to tears, Xu Yongwang and Jiang came over and took Hao Ting away.

"Don't scare the child, you little brat. You'll have nightmares tonight."

After Xu Wencheng's hands were free, he was about to say something to Song Yuntang when he suddenly saw Rendong enter the front yard.

"Madam, someone is coming from the palace."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Chihai walked around the screen wall.

He bowed to Song Yuntang.

"Princess Le'an, His Majesty has sent me to take you to the palace to check the eldest prince's pulse."

Song Yuntang frowned.

"Isn't the eldest prince's condition under control?"

Fan Chihai nodded.

"I don't know what's going on. Please ask the Princess of Le'an to go with me."

The matter is urgent. I originally thought that Xu Wencheng and Xu Qingye would be back today, so I won’t dress as casually as usual. There is no need to change clothes now.

"Xia Ning, quickly go to the main courtyard and bring me my medicine box."

Xia Ning said yes and turned to get the medicine box.

Xu Wencheng looked at Song Yuntang, pursed his lips, and looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Song Yuntang saw that he seemed to have something to say.

"what happened?"

Xu Wencheng felt that he had to mention this news to Song Yuntang so that she would be more cautious when moving around in the palace.

"During the morning court today, His Majesty received Princess Lou Yishang of the Western Regions. She persuaded His Majesty to allow her to choose her own husband. My sister-in-law may be in trouble. You must be very careful when you go to the palace."

Song Yuntang knew what was going on.

It seems that the person that Lou Yishang likes is related to Xu Qingye.

"I see."

No matter what the princess wanted, she had to go to the palace to check the eldest prince's pulse.

The eldest prince is the grandson of her adoptive parents, so she naturally cannot sit idly by.

……

After arriving at the palace, Song Yuntang was taken directly to Yuqing Palace by Fan Chihai.

Yuqing Palace has always been the residence of the future crown prince. Ever since the eldest prince recovered from his illness, the emperor arranged for him to live here. He no longer protected him in everything like before, but gradually let him deal with the intrigues in the palace on his own.

Although he has not yet been named crown prince.

The intention is self-evident.

As a result, the concubines in the palace have been very active for nearly a year.

Although the emperor did not help the eldest prince, he knew exactly what was happening around him.

Song Yuntang came to Yuqing Palace. As soon as he entered the palace gate, he heard one or two coughs coming from the direction of the main hall.

She raised an eyebrow.

It shouldn’t be.

The eldest prince's old illness has clearly been brought under control, and his body is much stronger than before, so why is he starting to cough again?

Could it be that I’ve been studying so hard lately and haven’t taken good care of my health?

Or is it because of the big temperature difference between day and night recently, and you caught a cold?

Fan Chihai bowed towards the main hall.

"My lord, I, under the order of His Majesty, summon the Princess of Le'an to the palace to examine your pulse."

Li Xi'an's weak voice came from the hall.

"My body is fine, but my aunt is not feeling well right now. It's best not to let her illness get to her head. There are imperial physicians in the palace to treat her. Eunuch Fan, please send my aunt back first. I will speak to my father later."

Ever since the Tang family adopted Song Yuntang as their adopted daughter, Li Xi'an started calling her aunt.

Appear more friendly.

"Oh, my eldest prince."

Fan Chi was in trouble on the sea.

"Your Majesty specifically ordered me to bring Princess Le'an to the palace to treat you. Now that she hasn't treated you yet, how dare I send her back?"

After hearing this, Song Yuntang also took a step forward.

"I'm here now, please let me take a look, Prince."

Otherwise, she would be worried if he just went back home like this.

After a short while, Yixian pushed open the door of the hall, and Li Xian walked out of the hall wrapped in a thick cloak.

The boy's face was pale and his lips were bloodless.

He held the door with one hand and raised the other hand from time to time to cover his mouth and cough, as if he was about to collapse at any moment.

"I just caught a cold. There are imperial physicians in the palace to treat me, so it's nothing serious. My aunt's health needs to be good, so it's best not to stay in Yuqing Palace any longer."

Song Yuntang looked at him with a gentle expression.

"It's okay. I'll make you some medicine to prevent the cold later. You're so seriously ill. If I don't take your pulse before leaving today, I'll feel uneasy even if I go back."
