After seeing off the servant who came to deliver the message, Jiang Yuyue got out of bed and walked into Xie Jinglan's room.

During this period, she often suffered from abdominal pain and spent most of her time in a daze, unable to spare much time to visit him throughout the day.

But as soon as Jiang Yuyue was helped inside by Jasmine, she saw Xie Jinglan's face ashen and his lips pale.

"Why has it gotten worse again?"

Jiang Yuyue quickly quickened her pace and walked to Xie Jinglan's bedside. Seeing the fine beads of cold sweat on his forehead, she frowned as if touched by his expression.

He parted his lips as if struggling, "I'm fine."

Does he look like everything's alright?

Xie Jinglan's unfocused gaze made him look as if he would pass away at any moment.

Jiang Yuyue frowned and turned to look at Jixiang, who was serving her.

"This servant does not know either."

Jixiang's eyes were also filled with unease and anxiety, and her hand holding the medicine bowl seemed a little uneasy. "He was fine this morning, but then the young master's condition suddenly worsened, and he didn't even respond when I called him..."

Seeing Xie Jinglan's condition, Jiang Yuyue frowned and quickly reached out to check his pulse. What she felt shocked her even more. She had never seen such a chaotic and rapid pulse before. The pulse of a dying person usually becomes faint and imperceptible, but Xie Jinglan's...

Jiang Yuyue's eyes held a hint of tense helplessness. Her due date was approaching, and Xie Jinglan was about to witness the birth of her child. But at this critical juncture, his condition suddenly worsened. It was truly a case of fate playing tricks on them...

"Help him up."

Jiang Yuyue reached out and took the medicine bowl from Jixiang's hand, while Jasmine and Jixiang quickly helped Xie Jinglan up.

Xie Jinglan's eyes remained closed, while Jiang Yuyue's fingers trembled slightly with nervousness as she carefully pinched his chin to force him to open his mouth, while her other hand carefully fed him the medicine from the spoon.

Xie Jinglan was unconscious at the moment, and he hadn't been able to swallow most of the medicine, but Jiang Yuyue stubbornly repeated the action until the entire bowl of medicine was emptied.

After all, her medical skills were limited, and all she could do now was feed Xie Jinglan the medicine; everything else was up to fate.

Fortunately, Xie Jinglan's condition stabilized quickly after he took the medicine. Jiang Yuyue breathed a sigh of relief as she felt his pulse calming down.

Although Jixiang was worried about her prince's health, she knew that this was just a side effect of the antidote.

Seeing Jiang Yuyue's anxious appearance, I was afraid that her mood would affect the baby in her womb. After all, she had just given birth in the last few days and now it was difficult for her to get out of bed and walk. How could I let her worry about these things?

“Miss Jiang, please let me take care of the young master. I think he will feel better after taking the medicine. You are pregnant and must not overwork yourself. Please go back and rest. If there is any problem with the young master, I will inform you immediately.”

Hearing Jixiang's words, Jasmine quickly advised, "Jixiang is right, Miss, let's go back and rest first."

Jiang Yuyue's brows furrowed with deep worry. She sighed softly. Although she had been mentally prepared for Xie Jinglan's deteriorating health, she still felt a pang of heartache seeing him in such pain.

"You must be extra careful to take care of your young master."

Jiang Yuyue looked at Jixiang, "We can't be careless."

"Yes!"

Ji Xiang nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry!"

After watching Jiang Yuyue leave the room, Jixiang rushed to the backyard, blew a whistle, and Yueying immediately appeared.

"Moon Shadow, do you know where the young marquis is now?"

Seeing his prince on the verge of death, Jixiang was truly at a loss. "Go find him quickly. His prince's condition looks really bad. It would be good to find the young marquis and have him take a look at the situation."

Yueying nodded. "Alright, then I'll send someone to inform the young marquis and tell him to come over immediately."

As the moon's shadow receded into the distance, Jixiang still felt uneasy. After all, the young marquis's whereabouts were equally unpredictable. Usually, he was the one who took the initiative to come to find his prince, and it was rare for them to go looking for him.

Hopefully, Yueying can find the young marquis soon.

Jixiang prayed silently in her heart, but she was not idle. Although Xie Jinglan's condition was slightly better after drinking the medicine, he was still covered in cold sweat. Jixiang had to keep preparing warm water to wipe Xie Jinglan's body.

Jixiang was busy until midnight, and Xie Jinglan, who had been unconscious for almost a whole day, slowly opened his eyes.

"Your Highness! You're awake!"

Jixiang was overjoyed. "Is there anything wrong? There's some porridge simmering in the kitchen. I'll go and get it for you!"

"Wait a minute."

Xie Jinglan struggled to sit up, and Jixiang quickly stepped forward to help her, saying, "Why don't you lie down and rest for a while?"

Xie Jinglan's face was full of fatigue. Ignoring Jixiang's words, he asked instead, "How is Song Yunming doing?"

"Prince Ning has sent men to search for your whereabouts."

Although she didn't want her prince to worry about these things at this time, Jixiang still answered honestly, "He mixed your portrait with a group of criminals, and the government is searching house to house. However, our place is remote, so they haven't been able to find us yet."

Hearing this, Xie Jinglan's eyes showed a hint of disdain. He thought Song Yunming had some brilliant ideas, but it turned out he was using such a stupid method to find people.

Could it be that only Song Yunming can mobilize the government?

"No one is allowed to disturb this place during this period."

Xie Jinglan's voice was weak but composed, a faint, indifferent smile curving his lips. "Just pass on the order. The people below know what to do."

Jixiang nodded repeatedly, "Yes!"

After saying this, Jixiang added, "Your Highness, you were unconscious for quite some time today. I took the liberty of sending Yueying to find the young marquis, hoping he could come and check on you, so that I could feel more at ease."

Xie Jinglan neither confirmed nor denied this.

Although the steward under Jiang Yuyue is indeed reliable, they are now living in anonymity, so the preparations for Jiang Yuyue's childbirth will certainly not be as thorough as when they were at the Jiang residence. If Jiang Feili can come in time, he can also help take care of Jiang Yuyue's health.

"Pay close attention to her condition. If she's about to give birth, make sure to take good care of her."

Jixiang sighed inwardly. Both of them were currently unwell, yet they still thought of each other even at this time; it was truly admirable…

However, Xie Jinglan hadn't been awake for long. Jixiang had just fed him half a bowl of porridge when suddenly Xie Jinglan's body swayed violently, his vision went black, and he collapsed without warning.

Fortunately, Jixiang reacted quickly and caught him, but feeling his body temperature rise suddenly, she knew something was wrong.
