The person Xu Mo sent came back at dinner time and told Li Yuanliang:
"I'm going to the city gate to pick up the princess now. You stay by the prince's side."
"What? We're already here? So fast?" Li Yuanliang asked three times in disbelief.
"Not yet. I'll get there before the city gates are locked. Okay, enough talk. I'm going to pick them up now."
As soon as Xu Mo left, Xie Wanyi came in with dinner, and Li Yuanliang used a silver needle to test for poison as usual.
"Princess, Elder Lu is still giving the prince acupuncture inside. We need to wait another half a cup of tea."
Xie Wanyi nodded and went into the bedroom. Ziyu put the dinner on the bedside and left.
Seeing Feng Jinyu with his eyes closed and his brows slightly furrowed, Xie Wanyi seemed to be in pain. She whispered to Elder Lu, "What's wrong with the prince?"
"It's a bit painful to use acupuncture to prolong life. It will be fine once the needles are removed. You have to do it again at midnight."
Princess Xiao should be seeing the prince at midnight. Hopefully, acupuncture won't be necessary.
When the time came, Elder Lu removed the needle. Feng Jinyu's expression was no longer painful. She opened her eyes and saw a beautiful face. She opened her red lips and said, "Your Highness, this is the millet and chicken porridge I cooked."
A smile spread across Feng Jinyu's lips, "Isn't it pure millet oil?"
Xie Wanyi fed him a mouthful of porridge and then said to him, "Your Highness must eat something thick so that he can recover."
Feng Jinyu looked at her flat belly and wondered if she was pregnant.
He knew full well that he would not last long until the end, and that if he fell asleep tonight, he might never wake up again...
If she hadn't gotten pregnant, how would she have survived in this huge palace?
"Wanyi, after dinner, ask Mr. Lu to come in. I have something to say to him. Oh, and I need paper and pen."
Xie Wanyi instinctively knew it was related to her, and she also didn't miss Feng Jinyu's gaze just now, "Okay, Your Highness."
After saying that, Xie Wanyi fed Feng Jinyu mouthful by mouthful, and no one spoke during the process.
After feeding her, Xie Wanyi called Mr. Lu into the room, and then went to get paper and pen for Feng Jinyu.
When he came back again, Elder Lu took the paper and pen from Xie Wanyi and placed them next to Feng Jinyu. Then he said to Xie Wanyi, "Princess, you suddenly fainted yesterday. I need to check on you."
It really has something to do with me!
Xie Wanyi glanced at the paper and pen beside Feng Jinyu.
She roughly understood what the prince meant.
The prince felt that his time was up and was arranging his funeral.
The prince had looked for her before the marriage, and didn't want to ruin her life...
"Mr. Lu, I'm in good health and don't need a follow-up check. You can go out and rest first. I still have to give the prince acupuncture tonight."
Seeing her firm attitude and the fact that she took the initiative to marry to bring good luck, Mr. Lu knew that she couldn't be unaware of the worst-case scenario.
After hesitating for a moment, he strode out of the room, and Feng Jinyu was too late to stop him.
"Prince, I told you before we got married that I am Prince Xinyue and I am willing to marry you. I will only be happy if I marry someone I love..."
"But... I can't hold on for much longer. Perhaps if I fall asleep tonight, I won't wake up again. You'll be very lonely in this huge palace. I wanted to leave you with a child to keep you company so you wouldn't be so lonely. But now I can't even do that..."
"Your Highness, I understand your feelings. You truly love me. I know that. But my life is complete as I've been able to marry you. Even in the worst-case scenario, I'm willing to stay here and take care of the Crown Prince's Mansion for the rest of my life..."
"Oh, why are you so stupid?"
Feng Jinyu listened to Xie Wanyi's thoughts and didn't want to insist on writing her a divorce letter, for he was really afraid of hurting her true feelings.
"I'm not stupid, Your Majesty, you will live well. The hermit master the emperor mentioned will come tonight."
"Is there really a miracle doctor who is more powerful than Mr. Lu?"
Xie Wanyi nodded, "I just found out about it too."
"Who is he then?"
"The prince has seen her and she has even treated him."
"He has also examined this prince?" Feng Jinyu couldn't figure out who it was. "Who is he?"
It seems that the prince didn't think about Xiao Lingyu at all.
"...She is Xiao Lingyu, the Protector of the Nation."
Feng Jinyu couldn't believe it. "How is this possible? Princess Xiao is far away in Huayang County and doesn't know that the prince is seriously ill. She is also pregnant, so there is no way she can come to the capital."
"Fu Xuan learned about Xiao Lingyu from Xu Mo on the way back to the capital, and told the Queen Mother..."
"How could Father and Grandmother do this without telling me?"
Feng Jinyu was a little annoyed for a moment, and his chest was obviously heaving.
"Your Highness, you can't be impatient. The Emperor and the Empress Dowager are also worried about you..." Xie Wanyi's heart suddenly panicked. The Prince couldn't have any emotional fluctuations and had to calm down as soon as possible, otherwise if he couldn't wait for Princess Xiao... She didn't dare to think about it!
"Your Majesty, if your condition worsens due to anxiety, and Princess Xiao fails to cure you upon her arrival, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager might punish the Princess..."
Xie Wanyi said the following sentence lightly.
She had no choice, she didn't want anything to happen to the prince.
Feng Jinyu's emotions finally calmed down.
He was dissatisfied with his father for not consulting him before doing anything, and even letting him know about the marriage for good luck at the last minute!
What makes me most angry is that Yu'er was married to Su Xingyi.
If it weren't for this ridiculous imperial decree granting marriage, the child in Yu'er's belly would be his!
Now the Empress Dowager didn't even care about his feelings and summoned Yu'er back to the capital with just one imperial decree!
Feng Jinyu calmed down and said after a long while, "Wanyi, I will take care of myself and won't let anything happen to me. I will try my best to survive... and be responsible for you."
All he could do now was to prevent Yu'er from being implicated, try his best to survive and protect Wanyi.
"Then Your Majesty, please don't sleep. Stay awake and wait for Princess Xiao to come."
Feng Jinyu nodded slightly: "Okay, I want to lie down quietly."
Xie Wanyi sat by the bed with Feng Jinyu. When the time was almost up, she stood up and said to Feng Jinyu, "Princess Xiao will be here soon. I'll go wait at the gate."
Feng Jinyu became nervous when he heard this, and his hands under the quilt pulled tightly at the blanket.
He didn't know how to face Xiao Lingyu. Every time he was at his lowest point and about to die, it was she who pulled him back from the brink of death.
"It's late at night and the dew is heavy. Put on some clothes before you go."
Xie Wanyi felt warm in her heart, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."
Xie Wanyi led Ziyu and others back to Quchen Pavilion first, and changed into new clothes and new makeup, which was neither ostentatious nor low-key.
"How about this? Would it be rude for me to meet Princess Xiao in this outfit?"
Zi Yu looked Xie Wanyi up and down and said, "No, she is very decent. Princess Xiao can't find any fault with her."
"Okay, let's go out."
Xie Wanyi walked to the door, remembered Feng Jinyu's words, and turned to go to the closet.
"Princess, what are you looking for?"
"Find a cloak for the princess. It's windy tonight and she's heavy and can't get cold."
Bai Zhi: "Princess Xiao must have made some preparations, but they may not be used."
"It's better to prepare first."
Then the master and his servants rushed to the main entrance...
