Seeing that the Crown Prince was still holding He Xue, and for the sake of He Xue's reputation, Nan Xing stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, please hand the princess over to this servant!"

"No need! You come and help Physician Liu clean He Xue's wounds!" The Crown Prince looked at He Xue's feet and saw that they were covered with wounds of all sizes. Some were probably cuts, while others were bruises. There was also a lot of dirt on the wounds.

Seeing that the Crown Prince wouldn't let go, Nanxing could only worry anxiously. Boys and girls shouldn't sit together after the age of seven. Although the princess wasn't seven yet, she still needed to be careful. The Crown Prince had already seen the princess's feet! What could she do?

Nanxing decided that even if she had to use threats and inducements, she couldn't let Doctor Liu go out and spread rumors.

Seeing Nanxing's distressed expression, Physician Liu shook his head inwardly: Young people are just inexperienced. This isn't the first time the Crown Prince has hugged He Xue Gege. Back then, He Xue Gege even bit the Crown Prince, and he didn't say a word.

The Crown Prince didn't think too much about it; he wouldn't feel at ease until he saw He Xue's wound treated with his own eyes.

As for the major obstacle between men and women, it doesn't exist for He Xue at all. Anyway, He Xue will marry him in the future, and he will see her sooner or later, so what difference does it make if it happens sooner?

The wound cleaning was probably too painful, and even though Xue was fast asleep, she was still a little uneasy.

"Please be gentle, Physician Liu! The princess is most afraid of pain!" Nanxing said to Physician Liu.

“Miss Nanxing, I have been very gentle. The wound must be cleaned thoroughly, otherwise it will not only hinder recovery but also easily leave a scar!” Doctor Liu said.

The Crown Prince has been keeping a close eye on him. Does he dare to go too far?

While Xue was tending to her wounds, things were in complete chaos at Consort Tongjia's place.

Wang, the old nanny who served Consort Hui, came to Consort Hui's side and whispered a few words to her. Consort Hui's expression changed drastically.

"Just say what's on your mind! There's no need to hide anything now!" the Empress Dowager said.

"Yes!" Consort Hui replied, "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, Consort Yi's maidservant said that Consort Yi knows that the Noble Consort is ill and insists on coming to Chengqian Palace to visit her!"

"Did you tell Consort Yi about her illness?" the Empress Dowager asked. Compared to Consort Tongjia, the imperial heir in Consort Yi's womb was more important.

"No, Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has specifically instructed that Consort Yi not to be told!" Consort Rong replied.

"I don't know which gossipy servant said it, and it just so happened that Consort Yi overheard it!" Consort Hui said angrily.

The Empress Dowager still believed in the Crown Prince, but she was afraid it wasn't just a coincidence; there weren't that many coincidences in the palace.

"Consort Hui, go to Yikun Palace in person to comfort Consort Yi and tell her my order: protecting the child in her womb is of utmost importance to her. The Noble Consort also does not want to see anything happen to her and the child in her womb!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go right away!" Consort Hui replied immediately.

"Something terrible has happened!" a palace maid shouted.

"What kind of behavior is this, shouting and yelling! Don't you see the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are here?" Consort Rong hurriedly stepped forward and scolded.

Fortunately, the Emperor was inside with the Imperial Concubine; otherwise, he would have been furious upon hearing "This is terrible!"

"Your Highness, please forgive me! It seems that Consort Wuya is about to give birth!" the little palace maid said tremblingly.

"Why is she getting involved at a time like this?" Consort Hui said with displeasure.

"Who can say for sure about having children?" the Empress Dowager said.

"Consort Rong, go and see! The Empress Dowager and I are here!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Consort Rong replied.

Consort Rong and Consort Hui went out together.

"The Crown Prince specifically instructed that Consort Yi should not know, and we also instructed that we should not tell Consort Yi. Logically speaking, it is impossible for Consort Yi to know."

Someone must have deliberately leaked this information to Consort Yi to make her worry; otherwise, there wouldn't be so many coincidences.

When my elder sister arrived at Yikun Palace, she told Consort Yi about this, warning her not to fall into their trap!

Consort Hui understood what Consort Rong meant when she heard what Consort Rong said. "Don't worry, I know what to do. I'll go to Yikun Palace and tell Consort Yi. I'll also find her some things to do. She can't just stop doing everything because she's pregnant!"

Consort Rong smiled with relief. If only there weren't those people with ulterior motives in the palace!

"Be careful yourself, the Uya clan is not simple!" Consort Hui instructed Consort Rong with concern. "I'll be back soon. If you can't handle it, go to the Empress Dowager!"

"I understand, don't worry, sister!" Consort Rong patted Consort Hui's hand.

Uya has her methods, and Majia is no pushover either. They're both cunning foxes, so let's not play these kinds of ghost stories.
