"Yes, so what does the princess mean?"

"Hmm... well, how about I go have some fun too? Take a stroll around? That should be okay, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Zexuan was taken aback: "Why would you want to go there?"

"It's not that I wanted to go, but I'm new here and don't know anyone. I think it would be good to meet people in this kind of setting, so I thought I'd go and take a look."

Yi Zexuan tapped the armrest of the chair twice, thought for a moment, and said, "Going is fine too."

Su Lixia's face lit up with joy, and she was about to thank him when he suddenly changed the subject.

"However, if the princess is going, I need to arrange for someone to accompany her, someone who will be with her at all times, so as to ensure the princess's safety."

“Emm…” Su Lixia hesitated for a moment, then said, “That’s fine, but this person won’t get in my way, will he?”

"No, I'll have the guard next to me accompany the princess. I think she'll remember me."

Su Lixia raised an eyebrow: "I remember, I remember. Okay then, when is the garden party? What do I need to prepare?"

"No need to prepare anything. He will come to pick up the princess in the next couple of days. It depends on how well the palace is prepared. The princess can make arrangements in advance."

Su Lixia nodded and said, "Okay."

Yi Zexuan stood up and said, "The princess's cooking was delicious, and I enjoyed it very much. Now that the princess is alright, I will take my leave."

"Alright, Your Highness, take care and get some rest." Su Lixia didn't get up to see him off, and even waved to him.

After Yi Zexuan left, he smiled helplessly, mocking himself as if he had been used as a tool.

Before Yi Zexuan could even step out of the backyard, he saw Uncle Li rushing over in a hurry.

"Your Highness."

"What's the rush?"

"It seems the young lady has an upset stomach; she's having stomach pains right now. We don't know if there's something wrong with her diet, but we've already called a doctor to take her to see her."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zexuan frowned and said as he walked, "How could there be a problem with the food? Has it been investigated?"

"The investigation is still ongoing. Miss wishes to invite His Highness to take a look, so this old servant has come."

Yi Zexuan rolled his eyes at him and said reproachfully, "If Miss hadn't let you come to me, were you planning to keep it a secret?"

"This old servant only wanted to wait until the investigation was complete before reporting to Your Highness." Uncle Li lowered his head slightly.

Yi Zexuan stopped talking and quickened his pace to Xue Yurou's room.

Outside the door, the cook was waiting.

Yi Zexuan glanced at him and went inside.

"Doctor, is there a problem?" When Yi Zexuan walked in, Xue Yurou was already sound asleep.

"It's nothing serious. He probably ate too much cold food, which is why his stomach hurts. He's already had an acupuncture treatment, and he'll be fine after a night's rest."

Yi Zexuan hummed in agreement, then looked at the maid and asked, "What cold foods did your young lady eat? Why does she have a stomachache?"

The maid shook her head and said, "I'm not sure. Tonight, besides seeing Miss eat dinner, she didn't eat anything else. I guess we'll have to wait until Miss wakes up to find out what she ate."

"Do you know where she went today?" Yi Zexuan asked with a stern face.

"I've been at the manor all day, except for a brief visit to the princess."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zexuan frowned: "Why would you go there if you have nothing better to do? Is that a place you can go so easily?"

The woman in the coat tensed up and explained, "Miss wanted to ask the princess some questions, so she dared to go over there."

Yi Zexuan waved his hand impatiently and said, "Forget it, you can leave now."

"yes."
