After Zhao Chang arrived, Kangxi instructed him to investigate today's events as soon as possible, ensuring there were no oversights.

After Kangxi finished dealing with everything, he looked at Jingshu, who was just staring at the room where He Xue was, as if he hadn't heard their conversation.

Kangxi was still thinking that if Jingshu asked him to investigate Suo'etu, he could take the opportunity to suggest that Jingshu not tell Suhetai about it.

He didn't want Suhetai to know about this for the time being. If Suhetai found out, not only would Suo'etu be in trouble, but he himself would also be in trouble.

But Jing Shu wouldn't say anything, and he couldn't ask Jing Shu not to tell Su Hetai, otherwise it would seem like he wanted to protect Suo'etu.

Emperor Kangxi said that encountering people who don't play by the rules can be quite a headache.

As darkness slowly fell, He Xue was still asleep.

"Sister, He Xue has a fever!" Tong Jia Shi said, looking at He Xue's face, which was gradually turning red.

"Ren Dong, go find Physician Liu!" The Imperial Noble Consort comforted the flustered Tong Jia Clan. "Qing Yao, He Xue will be alright!"

Tongjia nodded, holding back her tears, and used a handkerchief to cool down Hexue.

Emperor Kangxi had already returned to the Qianqing Palace, but the Crown Prince did not return to the Yuqing Palace; instead, he stayed in the Fourth Prince's room.

The crown prince heard Honeysuckle's voice and immediately came out.

"What happened?"

"Your Highness, the princess has a fever!" Ren Dong reported.

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince disregarded everything else and went straight to the room where He Xue was, pushing open the door and entering.

The Imperial Noble Consort looked at the Crown Prince, who walked in looking lost and dejected. Although she felt that this was somewhat inappropriate, she did not say anything.

This was the first time the Crown Prince had seen He Xue since she was injured. He Xue had many injuries, and now she was lying quietly in bed. The Crown Prince's heart was shattered into pieces.

The Crown Prince kept staring at He Xue, his heart and eyes were filled with her, until the Fourth Prince came to his side and called his name, and he came back to his senses.

The Crown Prince glanced into the room but didn't see Physician Liu. "Fourth Brother, hasn't Physician Liu arrived yet?"

"Second Brother, what's wrong?" the Fourth Prince asked worriedly. "Imperial Physician Liu has already come and is now preparing the medicine!"

"Oh! What did Physician Liu say?"

"Doctor Liu said that as long as He Xue's fever stops, she'll be fine. But He Xue might have a fever again tonight, so we must be careful!" the Fourth Prince said.

"Doctor Liu said that He Xue can be moved now?"

"Imperial Physician Liu does not recommend that He Xue leave the palace!" The Fourth Prince knew that the Crown Prince wanted to know if He Xue could leave the palace.

The Crown Prince looked at He Xue; he wanted to spend the evening with her.

"Mother Tong, I want to stay and keep Hexue company!" the Crown Prince said to the Imperial Noble Consort.

The Imperial Noble Consort stared at the Crown Prince in shock. "Baocheng, do you know what you're saying?"

"Of course I know, Mother Tong, I'm really worried about Xue being like this!"

"Baocheng, you are the Crown Prince. There are some things you cannot do on a whim. If you stay here today, I'm afraid that tomorrow, Xue and I will be in the eye of the storm!"

"Besides, it's against the rules for you to stay here, and it will damage He Xue's reputation!" The Imperial Noble Consort patiently persuaded the Crown Prince.

"I understand! Mother Tong, I want to stay with Hexue a little longer!" the Crown Prince pleaded.

"Alright then!" The Imperial Noble Consort couldn't bear to refuse the Crown Prince any longer.

The Crown Prince came to the bedside. "Madam, please go and rest. I'll stay and watch over He Xue!"

Lady Tongjia glanced at the Crown Prince, then at the Imperial Noble Consort. The Imperial Noble Consort nodded to her, and Lady Tongjia then rose and offered her seat to the Crown Prince, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, Your Highness!"

The Crown Prince gently touched He Xue's forehead. He Xue had just taken her medicine, but her forehead was still a little hot.

The Crown Prince held He Xue's hand, which was scratched in some places. "He Xue, please wake up soon, okay? As long as you wake up, your Crown Prince brother will grant you anything!"

Don't you want to eat all the delicious food in the world? How can you eat while lying in bed?

You want to see handsome men? Your Crown Prince has prepared handsome men for you. Wake up!

"If you don't wake up soon, you'll have to drink bitter medicine again. Aren't you the one who hates taking medicine the most?"

Seeing the Crown Prince's sorrowful expression, the Fourth Prince felt a pang of sadness himself. He walked up to the Crown Prince and said, "Second Brother, He Xue will wake up soon!"

"He Xue will wake up!" the Crown Prince said.

That night, everyone's hearts were in their throats. Finally, He Xue's fever subsided, but she looked as if she had been pulled out of the water, with not a single dry spot on her body.

Lady Tongjia and the Imperial Noble Consort helped He Xue clean herself and change into clean clothes.

Looking at the exhausted Imperial Noble Consort, Lady Tongjia said, "Sister, you should go back and rest! I'll stay here and watch over Hexue!"

Your body is just recovering, you can't neglect your health, otherwise Xue will definitely blame herself when she wakes up!

"How can I rest in peace until I see Hexue wake up!" the Imperial Noble Consort said, looking at Hexue.

"He Xue is a kind child. She has a simple mind. Everyone feels relaxed when they are with her. People in the palace are used to deceit and treachery."

But when I'm with Xue, I don't have to think about those things; whatever she says goes!

She tried her best to maintain the relationship between the Crown Prince and his brothers. She even told me to persuade Consort Hui to stop pressuring the eldest prince!

She considers everyone's feelings, so why are there still people who don't like her?

"Qingyao, once Xue wakes up, take her out of the palace! Try not to come to the palace again!" the Imperial Noble Consort said to Lady Tongjia.

“Yes, I understand, sister!” Tongjia replied.

"Mother, Aunt, please come and have something to eat!" Jing Shu walked in. "Even if you don't have an appetite, you should still eat!"

Jing Shu knew that neither the Imperial Noble Consort nor Lady Tongjia had eaten anything last night.

"Sister, let's go eat together!" Lady Tongjia really had no appetite at the moment, but she said this in order to get the Imperial Noble Consort to eat something.

The Imperial Noble Consort knew Tongjia's intentions and did not refuse.

“He Xue, you said you wanted to go horseback riding last time. Now that you're awake, your older brother will take you!” Jing Shu said to He Xue.

"Really?" a hoarse voice came from behind.

Jing Shu thought he had misheard and looked down at He Xue in disbelief, only to find that He Xue was looking at him!
