"Congratulations, Your Highness. You have recovered greatly. Now you just need to take good care of yourself, and you will be fully recovered in a year or two at most."

Chu Ning stopped in her tracks and heard Chu Yi inside laugh, "Is that so? No wonder I haven't felt cold lately, and I haven't been coughing as much."

The steward standing nearby also said happily, "Your Highness, should we send Imperial Physician Jiang back to report to the Emperor, the Empress, and the Fifth Prince, so that they can also be happy?"

"No need," Chu Yi said. "I want to wait until I'm fully recovered before telling them, so I can give them a surprise."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ning's lips curled into a smile.

He already knew about this surprise beforehand, which is great news.

Since Chu Yi doesn't want him to know, then he'll pretend he doesn't know.

Chu Yi was quite capable; in just two days, he successfully made Nan Zhi a junior bodyguard.

Whenever she had time, Nan Zhi would search everywhere to find the whereabouts of the rhinoceros horn.

Chu Yi was also helping to check the files to see if any rhinoceros horns had been sent to the palace.

Before the investigation could be completed, a major incident occurred.

The Imperial Astronomical Bureau performed a divination and said that the Crown Prince's destiny lacked the element of Earth, and that he needed to marry a woman whose element was Earth in order to improve his health.

In short, they needed a woman to bring them good luck through marriage.

This woman was Li Qiurou, the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Li.

The two were a match made in heaven, and the emperor agreed without even asking Chu Yi's opinion.

When the imperial edict was delivered to the Eastern Palace, Chu Yi was discussing the whereabouts of the Spirit Rhinoceros Horn with Nan Zhi, who had secretly slipped out of the palace.
