Chapter 270 I have a fever

Concubine Hui became more and more proud as she spoke, but Jiang Xianhao had already strode out of the cold palace.

After Jiang Xianhao left, the maidservant beside Concubine Hui couldn't help but speak with some concern.

"Your Majesty, will there be any problem if you tell this to the Queen?"

Concubine Hui snorted coldly.

"Don't worry!"

"She is a taciturn person. No matter how much I tell her, she won't mention a single word to Your Majesty.

I've mentioned this many times before. Not only will it not be a problem, but it will actually create a rift between the two of them."

"snort!"

“This time, His Majesty will probably abolish Chen Hechuan’s position as crown prince for the sake of his own throne.”

"Adding these words to her words, I'm sure she will hate Your Majesty even more. Then, the two of them will inevitably quarrel again."

"This is my chance."

When Concubine Hui said this, she smiled complacently.

Just wait, soon she will walk out of this cold palace and stand in a position second to none again.

Fortunately, the moment Jiang Xian stepped out of the cold palace gate, she could no longer hold on and her legs went soft. Thanks to Jing Tan who supported her in time, she did not fall.

"My Lady, are you alright?"

Jingtan's voice trembled.

She had heard clearly what Concubine Hui had just said, and was now trying hard to hold back the tears in her eyes.

Jiang Xianhao shook his head, but in the next second, he spat out a mouthful of blood, his whole body went limp, and he fell to the ground powerlessly.

"Your Majesty—"

Jingtan and Yunshu shouted.

Jiang Xianhao felt weak all over and everything in front of her was dark, but she seemed to see the night of her birthday.

At the beginning, Jiang Xianhao had four palace maids: Jingtan, Yunshu, Wenxiang, and Shiying.

They are all maids who grew up with Jiang Xianhao, so naturally they have a deep relationship.

The weather was perfect on her birthday.

She stood in the yard early in the morning, looking at the blue sky, but she no longer felt the joy she had in the past.

Just yesterday, she and Shen Wanshan had another quarrel.

He kept saying that he didn't care, but he wanted her to explain to him again and again.

She was tired and didn't want to explain.

She said nothing, she just had no strength left. However, he suddenly flew into a rage, smashed everything in her room, and then left angrily.

Before leaving, she became furious and ordered people to surround her yard and not let her step out of the palace.

She was treated completely as a prisoner.

She looked at the blue sky and the birds flying across it, and she really couldn't understand how she and Shen Wanshan had come to this point.

The weather was getting colder, and a cold wind blew, bringing a shiver.

Wen Xiang came over and put a cloak on Jiang Xianhao.

"Your Majesty, the weather is getting colder. You should go back to your room and wait for His Majesty. Don't catch a cold."

Jiang Xianhao nodded and smiled at Wen Xiang.

"It doesn't matter. I know what I'm doing."

Wen Xiang frowned slightly and muttered softly.

"If your majesty knew what was going on, why would you be standing here in the wind? You've become increasingly quiet lately."

Jiang Xianhao smiled bitterly.

Yeah, she's becoming less and less like herself.

Watching time pass by little by little, Jiang Xianhao lowered his eyes to hide the loss in his eyes.

"It's almost time. There's no need to wait any longer. Let's go to the room."

As she spoke, she gave another instruction.

"Put away the sweet-scented osmanthus cakes I made myself and put them in the yard. When Hechuan sneaks over at night, he can eat a few pieces to fill his stomach."

Wen Xiang nodded and sighed.

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was forcibly imprisoned by His Majesty and forced to study. I'm afraid he won't be able to come out today."

After she finished speaking, she saw Jiang Xianhao's regretful expression and couldn't help muttering.

"My Lady, in my humble opinion, why do you have to be so cautious?"

"Everything has been made clear to His Majesty now. You can get along with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince normally."

Wen Xiang's voice was filled with anger and dissatisfaction.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince thought you didn't care for him or love him.

Little did you know that you were afraid that he would fall from the tree, so you specially drilled a dog hole in the nice yard.

In order to see him, you even ignored the freezing weather and sat in the yard every day waiting for him. Look at your hands, they're almost getting frostbite."

Jiang Xianhao patted Wen Xiang gently to comfort her.

“It doesn’t matter, Wen Xiang, you don’t understand, the current Shen Wanshan is no longer the silly boy he used to be, he is now suspicious and thoughtful.

Hechuan is my child, I dare not take any risk with his life."

"However, I believe that Wanshan is just confused for the moment, and he will figure it out."

"Today is my birthday. In the past, he would come to accompany me on every birthday.

He may be too busy at the moment. I'll wait for him.

When he comes, I will explain it to him in detail. He will understand me and believe me."

Jiang Xianhao repeated this twice.

It seems like he is comforting himself and making himself believe.

However, as time passed, until the sun set and the moon flew above the branches, Shen Wanshan did not appear.

Jiang Xianhao sat at the table, watching the food he had cooked himself getting colder and colder. Finally, he just sighed and ordered everyone to take all the food away.

Afterwards, she lay down on the bed, thinking about everything that happened with Shen Wanshan before, as if it were yesterday.

She kept her eyes open and couldn't fall asleep for a long time, so she simply stood up and wanted to go out for a walk. However, she saw Shen Hechuan squatting at the door as soon as she came out.

He closed his eyes, curled up his small body, and was frozen. He didn't know how long he had been there.

Jiang Xianhao didn't care about anything else and immediately carried him into the room and took care of him carefully.

However, at this time, Shen Hechuan's forehead was already burning hot and he had lost consciousness.

Jiang Xianhao quickly ordered someone to call the imperial physician, while Jing Tan and Yun Shu were busy fetching water for Chen Hechuan and washing his body.

However, after smelling the fragrance and going out, he ran back in a hurry.

"My Lady, the guards at the door won't let us out."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xianhao rushed out immediately.

"All of you, get out of the way. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is seriously ill, and you're preventing him from calling in the imperial physician. If anything happens to him, can you afford to take responsibility?"

The guards at the door looked at each other, realized the seriousness of the matter, and nodded in greeting.

"Your Majesty, I am here under His Majesty's orders. We cannot let anyone leave or enter unless he gives the order."

"However, Your Majesty, please be patient. I have already sent someone to ask His Majesty for instructions. Please wait a moment, I'm afraid they will be back soon."

After hearing this, Jiang Xianhao's expression finally improved a lot.

However, as time passed, Jiang Xianhao couldn't help but go out again.

"The person who went to ask for instructions hasn't returned yet?"

The guard nodded helplessly.

"I think something unexpected happened. Please wait a moment, Your Majesty."
