The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

Du Mingxian left first, but she didn't let him go too far. She was worried about Ling Silang, so she slipped into her spatial dimension as soon as she left the house.

She still knows how to dispense and brew medicine. There's a special medicine cabinet in her space, and sometimes when Ling Silang is busy, she'll help organize it.

She prepared the medicine in the space, keeping an eye on it as she brewed it.

Ling Silang examined the Crown Prince's wound, treated it again, and gave him two more acupuncture needles. "Your Highness, you need to take good care of yourself. If anything goes wrong, it could leave lasting consequences."

"Alright." The Crown Prince knew about this, but her current condition didn't allow it; there were no suitable conditions for him to recuperate in peace.

Ling Silang and the Crown Prince began chatting casually, talking about recent events at the Hanlin Academy and outside. When it was time to remove the needles, Ling Silang took them out and then handed the letter written by the Emperor to the Crown Prince.

"Your Highness, this was written by the Emperor when we entered the palace. He instructed us to give it to you. Please read the letter at your leisure. I will wait outside."

Upon hearing the letter, the Crown Prince could no longer hear what Ling Silang was saying. His eyes were fixed on the letter, his fingers trembling as he took it. He opened it and saw its contents, and his eyes slowly reddened.

He forced himself to calm down. Everything was alright now. Fortunately, his father was out. Fortunately, his father only needed to be cared for. He didn't care. It was better that his father was alright.

As soon as Ling Silang stood outside, Du Mingxian appeared and led him into the space.

"How is the Crown Prince's health?"

"Although those people did not mistreat His Highness, they did not treat him well either. When you bring the medicine later, please also bring some food in. His Highness has not been eating properly lately."

"Okay, there's still soup in the space. I'll make a bowl of noodles and bring it in later."

"Either is fine. Anyway, we've been out for a long time, so it's easy to explain what we bring in."

Du Mingxian sighed, "I don't know when this will be resolved. I don't know how long I'll have to live like this, sneaking around like this."

"Just wait, it should be soon. The Emperor has woken up and is in contact with the Crown Prince. The counterattack should be imminent."

"Yes, I hope so."

After the medicine was brewed, Ling Silang brought it in first, while Du Mingxian cooked noodles in her space before taking the bowl of noodles out.

Du Mingxian used the nourishing soup that Xiao Zhou had made in the space to cook the noodles. She also added a few green vegetables and a little bit of cold dishes. It looked delicious.

When Du Mingxian entered, the Crown Prince had already finished his medicine and was talking to Ling Silang.

"Your Highness, please eat this noodle."

The crown prince was somewhat embarrassed, but these people really didn't bring him any food. They only came when they needed him, and when they didn't need him, no one would come to his place all day.

"Thank you."

After the Crown Prince finished eating his noodles, Du Mingxian and Ling Silang tidied up. Then, just before dawn, they gave the Crown Prince another dose of medicine before leaving.

Be careful when you come in, because it will be dawn when you leave. In order to save time, Ling Silang went straight into the space, and Du Mingxian rushed home amidst sparks.

Finally, when I could make out people's figures, I rushed home.

Before Du Mingxian could even enter the room and ask Ling Silang to come out, Qiu Shu stepped forward first and said, "Master Huang wants Madam to go in after she returns."

"Okay." Du Mingxian was about to go in when she realized that she hadn't talked much with the Crown Prince, but had talked a lot with Ling Silang. However, she had been in such a hurry when she came back that she had forgotten to let Ling Silang out of the space.

She then climbed over the wall to let Ling Silang out of the space, and then came back.

The two went in together to find the Emperor.

The Emperor hadn't slept well last night because he was worried about the Crown Prince. Now that he saw the two of them return, his heart was filled with joy. "Have you seen him?"

"Yes, Your Highness's injuries have been treated. With some more medicine and continued rest, you'll be fine. There's nothing seriously wrong, so please rest assured and recover." Ling Silang's words were very kind.

The Emperor was not entirely convinced, but Ling Silang's words were so convincing that he was somewhat swayed. At least his son wouldn't die. "After you entered the palace, did you see any other people? How are the others in the palace?"

Ling Silang didn't know this. Du Mingxian said, "All the concubines in the harem are locked up in one place, the princes are in the East Palace, and a small palace next to the East Palace is vacated for the Crown Prince."

The Emperor remained silent, and Du Mingxian, unsure of his thoughts, refrained from speaking.

"You two must have had a hard night, go back to sleep."

"Yes."

The two left, and it was almost time for Ling Silang to go on duty. He didn't sleep, but moved around in the yard for a while, ate his meal, and then went to his shift.

Holding An'an, Xiao Zhou complained to Du Mingxian, "This has been strictly prohibited for a long time, and we don't know when it will be lifted. Our restaurant has been closed for many days."

"Let's wait a bit, consider it a rest." Du Mingxian said, picking up An'an. Little An'an kissed her on the cheek and then tried to get down to play.

Little Zhou still wanted to go out for a walk, but now she didn't even have the chance to go out. "Oh, our hometown is still the best. We are free to go anywhere. Even if it is strictly forbidden, they will not even allow us to leave the courtyard."

“The places are different. If you feel bored, Second Sister-in-law, you can go to the manor outside the city to stay for a while after the lockdown is lifted.”

"Your estate?"

"Yes." It was the estate that the Wen family gave her as part of her dowry.

Little Zhou seemed quite interested. "Sure, when we can move around, we'll go to the estate together."

“Okay.” Du Mingxian wasn’t sure if she would have time to go, but since it was Zhou’s suggestion, she was willing to agree.

After spending some time with An'an, Madam Zhou noticed that she looked tired and asked, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"Is it a little obvious?" She nervously touched her face.

Mrs. Zhou waved her hand, "It's quite obvious. Look at your dark circles. Go to sleep. We'll take care of An'an."

"Okay, then I'll go inside and take a nap."

While Madam Zhou played with the children in the courtyard, Du Mingxian went to her room to sleep. She slept until the afternoon and her mental state improved considerably. She needed to secretly go in that evening to deliver medicine to the Crown Prince, as she truly needed to recuperate.

Ling Silang, like her, didn't sleep at all last night. She wondered how he was feeling now. He still had to stay at the Hanlin Academy for another day. She hoped he would be alright.

They waited and waited, but Ling Silang didn't return by nightfall. It was already dark outside, and the family members started to get worried.

Ling's mother was truly anxious. "Mingxian, this person hasn't returned yet. Should we send someone out to inquire?"

"Mother, I'll go out and check in a bit. Maybe something's holding him up today." Du Mingxian was uncertain, as Ling Silang used to take Chen Ming with him when he went out.

With martial law in effect, officials are all alone, each going their own way. And since Ling Silang hasn't returned yet, it's really hard to say what will happen.

"Send someone to check on her. I'm worried about you going out." Ling's mother was also concerned that something might happen to Du Mingxian.
