Soon, Physician Liu was invited over. When Physician Liu saw the people in the room, he was about to bow.

"Treat He Xue first!" The Crown Prince stopped Physician Liu from bowing.

"Yes!" Physician Liu came to He Xue and took her pulse.

After a moment, Physician Liu withdrew his hand. "Your Highness, the Imperial Noble Consort, and Princess Xue have only inhaled a large amount of sleeping potion. They will be fine after a good night's sleep!"

"Imperial Physician Liu, is it possible to wake He Xue up now?" the Imperial Noble Consort asked. This matter was originally aimed at He Xue, and if He Xue did not appear, she could easily be used by others.

"Your Majesty, we can use silver needles to stimulate the acupoints, and the princess will wake up!" said Physician Liu.

"Does it hurt a lot?" the Crown Prince asked, as Xue was very afraid of pain.

The imperial physician Liu looked at the crown prince, unsure of what to say. He must be in pain, otherwise why would he have woken up?

Physician Liu felt that if he nodded, the Crown Prince would immediately kick him out.

Seeing Physician Liu's reaction, the Crown Prince knew what was going on. "Empress Tong, it's alright if He Xue doesn't show up. I won't let anyone implicate He Xue!"

If anyone dares to slander He Xue, he wouldn't mind making this banquet bloody.

"Your Highness, this is clearly a trap set for He Xue. Even if you can silence others for a while, what about later? It's hard to guarantee they won't harbor malicious thoughts about He Xue." The Imperial Noble Consort saw the fleeting ruthlessness in the Crown Prince's eyes and knew that he wanted to use his power to suppress others.

“Your Highness, He Xue is not frail; she can bear this pain,” Lady Tongjia said to the Crown Prince.

Seeing this, the crown prince had no choice but to agree.

Holding the silver needles, under the Crown Prince's watchful gaze, Physician Liu tried his best to calm himself and inserted them into He Xue.

He Xue felt the pain and her brows furrowed. When Doctor Liu inserted the second needle, He Xue slowly opened her eyes.

"He Xue, how are you?" The Crown Prince asked, pulling Physician Liu aside when he saw that He Xue had woken up.

"Crown Prince?" He Xue hadn't fully woken up yet. She rubbed her aching head. Where was she now?

"I'm here. Is Xue feeling unwell anywhere?" the Crown Prince asked anxiously.

"My head hurts!" He Xue said, pressing her temples.

Upon seeing this, the Crown Prince quickly went to massage He Xue's temples. "Imperial Physician Liu, what's wrong?"

"Your Highness, this is normal. The princess still has some sleeping potion in her body. She just needs more rest!" Physician Liu said respectfully.

"I understand!" The Crown Prince stood up and offered his seat to Lady Tongjia, then looked at Physician Liu, "Physician Liu has been in the Imperial Hospital all day and hasn't left for a moment!"

Physician Liu immediately understood the Crown Prince's meaning. "Yes, Your Majesty, I have been constantly consulting medical books in the Imperial Hospital and have never left!"

"He Zhu, escort Physician Liu out!" The Crown Prince was very pleased with Physician Liu's sensible manner.

"Physician Liu, please!" He Zhu gestured to Physician Liu.

"Thank you for your trouble, Eunuch He!" Physician Liu said respectfully to He Zhu.

"Mother!" He Xue leaned against Tongjia Shi with a wronged expression.

"It's alright, Mother is here!" Madam Tongjia gently patted Hexue to comfort her.

"He Xue, don't worry, your aunt will definitely not let the Ninth Princess off easily this time!" the Imperial Noble Consort said from the side.

How dare an orphan girl bully He Xue? Does she really think the Tongjia clan has no one to rely on?

"Ninth Princess?" He Xue asked in surprise. She had forgotten what Qing Dai had told her. Did Qing Dai tell her that this matter was related to the Ninth Princess?

The Imperial Noble Consort then remembered that the Crown Prince had mentioned something about the Ninth Princess, but she hadn't asked him how he knew it was related to the Ninth Princess.

Knowing that He Xue had doubts, the Crown Prince took the initiative to explain to her, "I planted someone by the Ninth Princess's side. When I heard that she wanted to harm you, I immediately found He Zhu and told him about it."

By the time I found out, you were no longer in the Hall of Preserving Harmony, so I immediately sent people to look for you!

The Crown Prince still feels lingering fear when he thinks about it now. He is afraid of what would have happened if he hadn't found He Xue.

"I haven't had much contact with the Ninth Princess, so why would she want to harm me?" He Xue asked.

“It might be related to the Torgut tribe’s marriage proposal!” the prince said. He didn’t know if Amuguleng knew about this matter. If Amuguleng was also involved, he would definitely crush the Torgut tribe.
