Seeing this, Xiao Hong hurriedly grabbed a cloak and draped it over Li Youran's shoulders.
Li Youran stood at the door without going out. When she saw the Second Prince wearing ordinary clothes in the distance, she hurriedly left.
"It seems something extremely urgent has happened, otherwise why wouldn't there be time to put on court robes?"
Li Youran muttered to herself, thinking that if the Empress or the Emperor were to pass away, the wedding might have to be postponed.
After thinking about it carefully, he shook his head again, thinking, how could such a thing suddenly happen?
The next morning, Li Youran was sleeping soundly when she was awakened by the noise outside.
With dark circles under her eyes, she struggled to get out of bed. The sunlight outside wasn't too bright yet; it was probably only around seven o'clock.
"Xiao Hong, what's going on outside?"
Quite some time passed before Xiaohong finally came in.

Has His Highness the Second Prince returned?
"No, His Highness the Second Prince sent word that all the houses are kneeling outside the Emperor's bedroom to pray for the Emperor's well-being."
Upon hearing Xiao Hong's words, Li Youran's lips twitched slightly. He thought to himself that this was not a blessing, but clearly an excuse to confine all the princes in the palace.
After this analysis, Li Youran felt that the emperor was very likely faking it.
