"Jiaojiao is here? Why don't you invite her in quickly!"

The Queen Mother was in a good mood. After all, Murong Jiao was also raised by her.

Not long after, a pretty lady in a pink dress came flying over like a butterfly.

"Jiaojiao, come here, come to my grandmother, let me take a good look at you!"

"Ah, why are you crying? Did someone bully you? How dare you bully our Jiaojiao? You are so brave!"

Under the gentle gaze, Murong Jiao knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the empress dowager.

"Grandmother, please save Xue Lang. He is Jiaojiao's lover and he will be beheaded in a few days!"

Xue Lang? Isn't he the handsome and talented young master of the Xue family?

After all, he is Jiaojiao's fiancé, and they are going to get married in a few days, so what's the point of beheading him or not?

The female official Sun Qing standing by looked unhappy.

...

...

"Princess An Ning, this is your fault. Xue Han's regicide is a heinous crime that will punish all nine generations of the family. You insist that the Queen Mother keep the Xue family alive. Where do you put the laws of the country?"

"Besides, Your Majesty is in the harem. According to ancient laws, the harem cannot interfere in government affairs. Princess, even if Your Majesty wants to help, there is nothing you can do."

After learning that Xue Li was actually a traitor, the Queen Mother's face fell.

"Jiaojiao, it's not that I don't want to help you, but Xue Li must die. He is Xue Han's direct bloodline, and he is already sixteen years old. He should be beheaded according to the law."

"Besides, the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. If I help you, I will break the rules."

"No, no, no, I don't want Xue Lang to die. It wasn't him who killed the king, but his father. He was loyal to Your Majesty!"

Murong Jiao shook her head like a rattle, choking with sobs, "Grandmother, His Majesty has always listened to you the most. You are the only one who can save Xue Lang!"

[Alas, Princess Sister, please stop begging. Father has already issued an order. You are forcing him to go back on his word! ]

[As Xue Han's son, this is his fate. If he survives by chance, what about the other more innocent people in the Xue family? Do they deserve to die? ]

Listening to Su Lili's thoughts, the Queen Mother nodded approvingly. It seemed that Princess An Ning's knowledge was not as good as that of a newborn baby.

Regardless of whether they are innocent or not, only by cutting the roots can we prevent future troubles!

"Jiaojiao, you'd better get up. I really can't help you with this."

The Queen Mother patiently spoke in a friendly manner and touched the back of Murong Jiao's head.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a hint of heart-wrenching determination in Murong Jiao's eyes.

"Since the Empress Dowager is unwilling to help, Jiaojiao might as well die to make her determination clear, and become a couple with Xue Lang in the afterlife, staying together forever!"

With her eyes closed, Murong Jiao suddenly slammed into the pillar, and blood splattered out.

Then, her delicate body slowly slid to the ground, with less air coming in than going out.

"Imperial Physician, please ask the Imperial Physician to come and treat Princess An Ning's injuries. If you can save her, you will be rewarded handsomely!"

At the Queen Mother's command, everyone in the Xishou Palace got busy, tightening the swaddling clothes to cover Su Lili's eyes.

After all, the child is still young and cannot bear to see these things, and I have been to the battlefield after all.

People from the Imperial Medical Bureau arrived quickly and hurriedly sprinkled medicine powder on Murong Jiao. They then wrapped her in white gauze and wrapped it around her head again and again.

Then, they hurriedly carried her into the inner room and laid her down on the bed covered with a thick mattress.

After taking the empress dowager's pulse, Zhang Yu, the imperial physician most trusted by the empress dowager, lowered his head helplessly.

"Alas, the princess is in a very dangerous situation. I can only do my best to save her life."

Then, he quickly wrote down the prescription and respectfully presented it to the Queen Mother with both hands.

"For the time being, I will prescribe the medicine according to this prescription. It will allow the princess to live a few more days, but the situation that follows is... well, please don't be too sad, Queen Mother."

What he said implied that Murong Jiao was beyond saving.

The empress dowager paused and nearly fell down, but was quickly supported by the female official Sun Qing.

"Empress Dowager, you should take a rest first. The princess is blessed by heaven and will be fine!"

[Yes, yes, as long as the baby is here, Princess Sister will be fine, Grandmother, just wait for my good news! ]

Listening to the soft and sticky baby voice, a hint of bitterness appeared on the empress dowager's lips. This child is still coaxing her.

The imperial physician said that there was no hope for her. How could she be better than the imperial physician? Unless she was a deity from heaven who had descended to earth!

With the help of the palace servants, the empress dowager lay trembling on the couch. She was exhausted and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Over there, everyone else was busy decocting medicine. Su Lili took advantage of the moment and took out a pill from her arms and stuffed it into Murong Jiao's mouth.

It was visible to the naked eye that Murong Jiao's face became rosy and her breathing returned to normal.

The heartbeat that was originally as thin as a thread became healthy and strong, and he went from fainting to falling asleep normally.

[Sister Princess, Xue Li is truly hopeless. In order to prevent you from doing stupid things out of sadness, I have no choice but to erase part of your memory and make you forget your feelings for him.]

He gathered a trace of magic power and gently tapped it on Murong Jiao's brow. Soon, the magic power was absorbed.

After a while, her frown relaxed. Su Lili finally breathed a sigh of relief, felt sleepy, and fell asleep in Murong Jiao's arms.

Having used up too many spells, I slept very deeply. Before I woke up, I vaguely heard some laughter.

When he looked up, he saw that Murong Jiao had woken up. Opposite her sat the empress dowager, who looked energetic, and the smiling Sun Qing.

"Oh, the little princess finally woke up, and Princess An Ning is completely fine. You are really our lucky star!"

It was a bit strange to say, Murong Jiao's injuries were too serious, even if she could live a few more days by chance, she would only be hanging on.

But what she never expected was that Su Lili just slept next to her, and she miraculously recovered!

I vaguely remembered that Su Lili seemed to have a nickname, something like Fairy Princess. Could it be that she was really a fairy from heaven who came down to earth?

"Oh, by the way, I can't remember why I was injured, and I don't understand why I came to this palace."

Murong Jiao rubbed her aching head, sighed in confusion, then picked up the peach blossom cake on the table, stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it.

The Queen Mother and Sun Qing looked at each other, then looked at Doctor Zhang in unison.

After taking the patient's pulse, Doctor Zhang coughed twice and said.

"Ahem, maybe her brain was injured, so the princess has selective amnesia. But this is a good thing, because she can forget the things that made her sad!"

"Now, the princess is completely fine. The gauze on her head can be removed in a few days. I will take my leave now."
