Hongzhou led Xueying to an empty room. Xueying changed out of the servant's clothes and walked out somewhat awkwardly.

Looking at Xueying's adorable appearance, Hongzhou couldn't help but laugh, "With this new outfit, you really wouldn't be able to tell she's a princess unless you look closely..."

Xueying lowered her head and fiddled with her clothes, saying with satisfaction, "I will obediently follow behind you and will definitely not let anyone find out that the servant you brought is me..."

After Xueying finished speaking, she turned to A'luo and instructed her, "A'luo, go back to Xinghuachun Pavilion and wait for me. If anyone asks, just say I'm not feeling well and am still sleeping in my room, understand?"

A'Luo worriedly pulled Xueying, "Princess, this is too dangerous. If we're discovered, the Emperor will definitely be angry. Why don't we just forget about it..."

Xueying stubbornly shook her head, patted A'luo's hand, and comforted her, "It's alright, don't worry. I'll go check on Consort Xi and come right back. Isn't Fifth Prince there too?"

Hongzhou glanced at Xueying, unsure whether his decision was right or wrong.

Hongzhou ordered the young eunuch to return to Bitong Academy, and A'luo had no choice but to return to Xinghuachun Pavilion as well.

So Hongzhou took Xueying aboard the ship and headed towards Penglai Island and Yaotai.

The Fourth Prince ordered Hongli to rest, and Hongli dared not refuse and reluctantly agreed. He slept in the side hall of Yingzhou Hall so that he could come to Lanqin's aid if anything happened.

Therefore, it was Biechuke and Zhaojia who were guarding Lanqin's side.

Hongzhou entered with his servant. Lanqin was still unconscious. Biechuke and Zhaojia were focused on Lanqin and did not notice anything amiss with the servant beside Hongzhou.

After bowing to Lady Zhaojia, Hongzhou went to Lanqin's bedside. Seeing that Biechuke's eyes were still red, he asked worriedly, "How is Consort Xi? Has she woken up?"

Bechuk nodded, gently wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes. He tenderly stroked Lanqin's hand and said, "She woke up a few times, but she always fell unconscious again after drinking the medicine. Mother must have suffered so much from her injuries..."

Zhao Jia patted Bie Chuke on the back and comforted her, "The doctor said that Consort Xi is fine now. She just needs to rest and she will recover. You've been crying all day; your eyes must be ruined..."

Hongzhou said with heartache, "It's normal for Consort Xi to be unconscious due to excessive blood loss..." Suddenly remembering the tonics he had brought, he added, "By the way, I came specifically to bring Consort Xi tonics. They are all for replenishing qi and blood. Her Majesty's vital energy has been greatly depleted; she needs to eat more tonics to recover..."

The servant quickly placed the items he was carrying on the table, then lowered his head and retreated behind Hongzhou.

Lady Zhaojia smiled and said, "You're so thoughtful. Her Highness Consort Xi will be very pleased to know your filial piety..."

Hongzhou smiled sheepishly, "Your Majesty treats me like your own son, and I have no way to repay you. This is all I should do..."

Hongzhou noticed that Lady Zhaojia looked exhausted, so he suggested, "You must all be tired. Why don't I stay here and keep watch for a while? You can go and rest first. If Her Majesty wakes up later, I'll send someone to call you..."

Zhao Jia and Bie Chuke had arrived early in the morning and were indeed a little tired after guarding the place for half a day, but they were relieved to see Lan Qin and politely declined, saying, "It's alright, we're not tired..."

As Zhao Jia was speaking, she tried to stand up, but her body swayed slightly before she regained her balance.

Hongzhou hurriedly said, "Don't worry, there are still imperial physicians here. Consort Xi is fine. You should rest first, and then I can relieve you..."

Biechuk and Zhaojia exchanged glances. Seeing Hongzhou's resolute attitude, they had no choice but to agree. Leaving Hongzhou and his servant behind, the two of them went out together…
