Su Yushan didn't understand what the emperor meant, but Hongli seemed to understand perfectly. His brow furrowed, he glanced at Su Yushan, his gaze remaining firm and unwavering.

"Your subject has no regrets! I will definitely handle this matter well, please rest assured, Father Emperor."

With the emperor's intervention, Consort Xi dared not act recklessly again and could only temporarily spare Su Yushan.

It was getting late, and the palace gates were about to close. Moreover, Hongli had come despite being ill and was extremely weak. Emperor Yongzheng forbade him to leave the palace and told him to stay and recuperate.

Hongli was worried about letting Su Yushan go back alone, so he begged her to stay as well.

Considering his son's serious illness, Emperor Yongzheng made an exception and allowed him to travel by carriage to the Western Fifth Palace for quiet recuperation.

Su Yushan, by a stroke of luck, had the opportunity to accompany Hongli on a revisit to his former residence in the palace.

In retrospect, Emperor Yongzheng had relatively few children. Apart from Hongshi, Hongli, and Hongzhou, who all grew up safely, he had no other princes.

After Hongli moved away, the West Fifth Palace was no longer bustling. Occasionally, when he arrived at the palace too late to return home, he would stay there.

Everything in the palace was new and exciting to Su Yushan, but she had no time to appreciate it because she was worried about Hongli's injuries.

The palace servants were brewing medicine, and Hongli had to wait until he drank it before he could rest. At that moment, he was leaning against the bedside, wiping away the tears from Su Yushan's face.

"Don't be afraid. Father has spoken, Mother doesn't dare to make things difficult for you anymore, and no one dares to say they want to divorce you."

"It's not that I'm afraid of that, I'm worried that your condition will worsen. You shouldn't have risked going to the palace. What if something happens? What will I do?"

Thinking about the consequences, Su Yushan is still terrified and dares not think about them in detail.

After a moment of contemplation, Hongli deliberately said, "You are still young and can remarry. Anyway, you don't really like me and are not very willing to stay in the capital. I won't be able to control you then, and you will be truly free."
