After Eavesdropping on the Little Princess's Inner Thoughts, All the Cannon Fodders Panicked

Xia Ruonan, armed with her knowledge of the future, transmigrated into Xia Miaoyuan, the doomed cannon fodder princess who dies early in the book.

The empress mother falls off a cliff to her ...

Chapter 36: Secret Room

Yingxue changed the queen's clothes neatly.

Xia Miaoyuan was lying on the bed, kicking his chubby legs anxiously and crying loudly.

[Mom, take me there, take me there, I want to see Prince Guoguo! ]

The queen looked at her lovingly, asked Yingxue to change her into a dress for going out, and held her in her arms.

When the Queen rushed to the Prince's residence carrying Xia Miaoyuan, the imperial physician had already taken the Prince's pulse.

"Imperial Physician, how is the prince?" the queen asked anxiously.

"Your Highness has been overworked and worried too much, that's why he fainted." The imperial physician said in a serious tone.

"But it's nothing serious. I've just given His Highness an injection. I'll give him some medicine later, and he'll wake up soon."

When the queen heard this, her gloomy expression softened.

[Isn't that just because he's sleepy? Let Prince Guoguo have a good sleep, he'll definitely wake up.]

[People, staying up late is very harmful to your health, you must not stay up late! ]

【Especially, you can’t work non-stop without sleeping.】

[In my previous life, I died of exhaustion from working non-stop! ]

Xia Miaoyuan suddenly thought of the ending of his life as programmer Xia Ruonan, and suddenly sighed.

Queen: What? Miao'er died of exhaustion in her previous life?!

After hearing her daughter's thoughts, the queen looked at the prince more nervously.

Queen: My eldest son won’t die of exhaustion, right?

After observing carefully for a while, he relaxed a little when he saw that the prince's breathing was steady and his expression was relaxed.

Looking down at Xia Miaoyuan in her arms, the queen frowned with heartache.

Alas, Miao'er was such a pitiful child in her previous life.

She sang a lullaby softly, coaxed Xia Miaoyuan to sleep, and put him to sleep on the couch opposite the bed. She sat by the bed and watched over the prince.

The prince didn't wake up until the early morning light shone through the window.

"Mother, you actually stayed here all night?" The prince looked ashamed.

"What's the big deal? When you and Chengnian were young and fell ill, didn't your mother do the same?" The queen said lightly.

"Most mothers in this world are like this."

"Cheng Wan, no matter how important things are, you must take care of your health. If your health breaks down, wouldn't it be like losing the big picture for the small?"

The prince nodded and said, "I will remember this."

The mother and son were chatting when suddenly Eunuch Debao came into the room with small steps: "Empress, Your Highness, the Emperor is here."

Xia Zhengqi walked in hurriedly.

Just as the Queen and the Crown Prince were about to stand up and salute, Xia Zhengqi stopped them with his hand: "No need to salute."

"How is Chengwan?" Xia Zhengqi glanced at the queen.

"I just learned that you fainted at night. These people are really not telling me immediately." Xia Zhengqi walked to the bedside and touched the prince's forehead.

The Queen forced a smile and said, "They are also worried that Your Majesty will be worried."

"Cheng Wan is fine, he's just tired. Plus, he's anxious and angry."

Xia Zhengqi asked with concern: "Are you worried about the Jiang Mansion?"

The prince looked at Xia Zhengqi, nodded slightly, and then lowered his head in shame.

"How's the investigation going?" Xia Zhengqi asked.

The prince lowered his head and said in a low voice, "This son is useless. I only found about a few hundred thousand taels. This amount..."

Having said this, the prince hesitated to speak.

Xia Zhengqi and the queen immediately understood what their son meant.

How could someone of Jiang Rong's caliber, who had held a high position for decades, be so greedy? The difference was obvious.

"What about the correspondence?" Xia Zhengqi said solemnly.

The prince said with difficulty: "I didn't find anything."

When Xia Zhengqi heard this, he felt his whole body freeze.

Now, apart from the father and son of the Jiang family, several die-hard Jiang party members are still imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice.

Dozens of family members would kneel down and beg for mercy in front of the palace gate every morning.

Every day when the officials saw this in court, they all talked about it.

He knew what everyone was talking about without asking: they were blaming him, the emperor, for punishing him too harshly.

With this kind of public opinion, if we don’t find reliable evidence as soon as possible that they are colluding with Master Jiang and his disciples to form a clique for personal gain, then this arrest will be in vain.

Xia Miaoyuan is small and sleeps a lot. This is the time when she should sleep soundly, but the noise of Xia Zhengqi and the others chatting is too loud.

"Ah...it's so noisy! Seriously. How come I can't even sleep until I wake up naturally as a princess?!"

Xia Miaoyuan rubbed his sleepy eyes with his little fists, with a look of resentment on his face.

[I'm just a little baby, can't you guys be more careful? ]

Xia Miaoyuan curled his lips and looked at Xia Zhengqi and the other three.

[Oh, Prince Guoguo has woken up. I'm relieved to see that Guoguo is okay.]

Seeing the prince sitting on the bed, his complexion much better than last night, Xia Miaoyuan grinned happily.

When the prince heard his sister's thoughts, he felt very warmed.

"Your son and others searched the Jiang Mansion from top to bottom, inside and out, but found no correspondence between him and the ministers." The prince added quickly to hide his expression.

After hearing this, Xia Zhengqi sighed.

[Humph, Old Man Jiang is a veteran who has been active in government for decades.]

[How could he let you find something so easily if he wanted to hide it?]

Xia Miaoyuan played with her little hands, recalling the plot in the book.

He has a secret room, known only to him. Secret things like correspondence must be kept in that room.

Xia Zhengqi, the Queen and the Crown Prince were all shocked.

Ah! The secret room! Where is the secret room?

The three of them looked at Xia Miaoyuan at the same time.
