Princess Jia Hua smiled upon hearing this, thankfully the trip hadn't been in vain.
With so many women, none of whom were related to him, the emperor of the Southern Frontier simply couldn't bring himself to sleep with her, so it was only natural that she was abandoned.
He slept in a daze for several more days.
When she opened her eyes again, the Seventh Prince was standing not far away. She was startled: "You, what are you doing here?"
The Seventh Prince quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand, I just heard you were sick and came to see you."
Seeing that the Seventh Prince meant no harm, she lowered her guard slightly, propped herself up to sit up, and glanced out the window. The Seventh Prince said that she had been unconscious for five days.

At most one or two years.
Princess Jiahua sat by the window with her eyes half-closed, feeling the warm sunlight on her face. Xiushu smiled as well, "Luckily, this time we met the Seventh Prince."
"Yes, he's a good person."
