Song Qingxue waited until midnight.

She waited in the yard at first, and only returned to her room when she felt cold from the wind.

When the Cold Dew fell to the ground, Song Qingxue felt a little cold while sitting in the house, and she couldn't help feeling worried.

She walked out and saw Liu Yue and Liu Huan still waiting outside the door.

Song Qingxue looked at Liu Yue, and said with some doubt, "Liu Yue, did the prince really just go to the eldest prince's place?"

"Yes." Liu Yue answered confidently.

"Let's go to His Highness's residence."

Hearing this, Liu Huan, who had been dozing off, suddenly woke up, "Ah? Madam, are we going now?"

"Um."

"Then I will go and call Guard Lin."

The last time Song Qingxue went out to look for someone in the middle of the night, she couldn't find her all night, which made Liu Huan very anxious. This time, she didn't dare to let her go out with two maids.

Although assassinations do not happen every night, we still have to be careful and take precautions.

When Song Qingxue and Liu Yue walked to the door, Liu Huan also ran over with Lin Xian.

"Princess." Lin Xian bowed to her.

"Well, let's go."

After speaking briefly, Song Qingxue hurriedly stepped out of the door and got into the carriage.

As they walked along the road, Song Qingxue opened the curtain, came out and sat on the board outside, and said, "Why didn't the prince take you with him when he went out today?"

Normally when Xiahou Chongyuan went out, although he rarely brought secret guards with him, Lin Xian would definitely follow him. But today Lin Xian did not go, which made her even more worried.

That person didn't like to bring secret guards with him when he went out, and now he doesn't even bring Lin Xian with him. What if he encounters danger?

Does he feel that he has lived too long and wants to go to the underworld and report to the prince as soon as possible?

Just as she was thinking this, she heard Lin Xian slowly say, "Lin Shu is following the master today."

"Huh? Who is Lin Shu? Your brother?" Why did she feel like she had never heard of this name?

"Yes." Lin Xian nodded, "My brother is the leader of the master's secret guards. He is much better than me. In fact, Princess, you don't have to worry so much."

"Why didn't you say so earlier!" Song Qingxue looked at the road that was already halfway gone, and for a moment she was a little confused about whether to continue looking for it.

"Princess, you didn't ask."

After hearing Lin Xian's answer, Song Qingxue just wanted to praise him, "Well done!"

Although Song Qingxue had a thought of going back, she did not actually return home in the end.

Although Lin Xian said he brought secret guards, she was still not reassured.

Xiahou Chongyuan has never given her peace of mind.

From the time I met him until now, he has always been seriously ill or injured.

"Forget it. I don't want to bother with you. Just tell the horse to run faster."

"yes."

She urged Lin Xian to ride a fast horse all the way to the eldest prince's house. She skipped asking others to help knock on the door and directly pulled the door knocker and rang it herself.

The servants in the mansion hurried over to open the door.

When Song Qingxue saw the person who opened the door, she immediately asked, "Is the Regent at home?"

"Yes, yes!" The servant knew her, and when he heard her ask, he quickly opened the door, "Princess, please come in!"

Song Qingxue followed the servant into the hall, only to see Xiahou Chongyuan and the eldest prince still talking.

"Your Majesty."

Song Qingxue called out and walked in. When she got close to the two of them, she nodded slightly and said, "Grand Prince."

"Little aunt, why are you here so late? Please take a seat."

The eldest prince made a gesture of invitation to her and quickly called a servant to bring her tea.

Song Qingxue walked to the chair next to Xiahou Chongyuan and sat down, saying, "What are you two talking about? The prince was so busy chatting that he didn't even bother to go home until so late. I was worried for a while!"

"Hahaha," the eldest prince laughed and said, "The relationship between the royal uncle and the royal aunt is quite good, not at all like what is said outside."

"Those people outside are just talking nonsense. By the way, how is your health these days?"

The eldest prince was born with an illness. According to the time point in the original text, he would not have much time to live. Moreover, as soon as she came in, she saw that the eldest prince looked pale, so it seemed that the situation was not good.

"Thank you, Aunt Huang, for remembering me. I'm still the same as before, neither better nor worse. Cough cough..." As he spoke, he coughed twice.

Song Qingxue was a little amused, "Your Highness, you don't look like you are neither good nor bad."

"They are all old problems. Anyway, as long as you can still walk and move, you can't be that bad."

The book said that the eldest prince's illness was very serious. If he hadn't been using precious medicinal herbs to keep him alive, he would have died years ago.

Today was the first time that Song Qingxue saw the eldest prince. She had only read about him in books and heard about him from others before, but she didn't have any feelings about him. But when she saw him today, she couldn't bear to see his sickly appearance.

"Your Highness, could you please stretch out your hand so I can feel your pulse?"

"Ah?" The eldest prince was surprised when he heard this, "Auntie, you can also take a pulse?"

"You didn't even know!" How bizarre! How bizarre!

When she cured the little emperor's illness, the whole capital knew that she had medical skills. How could the eldest prince know nothing about her medical skills?

He is too isolated from the news!

Xiahou Chongyuan knew that she had suffered from her occupational disease again, so he spoke up and said, "Your aunt is a very skilled doctor. Just stretch out your hand and ask her to check your pulse."

"In that case, let's examine him." Because he had always been in poor health, he kept several imperial physicians in his house.

Someone took his pulse every day, but there were no surprises every day, and he became completely numb.

Song Qingxue pressed her fingers on his wrist and carefully observed his pulse for a while before releasing her hand and saying, "The other hand."

The eldest prince found it strange, and cooperated with her with a smile, stretching out his other hand for her to feel his pulse.

After observing for a while, Song Qingxue raised her head and looked at him, saying, "Prince, let me see your head."

The eldest prince did as she said again.

After reading it, Song Qingxue withdrew her hand from his wrist and said with great certainty, "It can be cured."

"What!"

"Can it be cured?"

Xiahou Chongyuan and the eldest prince made surprised sounds almost at the same time.

After a pause, Xiahou Chongyuan said, "Qingxue, are you telling the truth? Can it really be cured?"

"Of course I have. When have I ever lied to anyone?"

Xiahou Chongyuan remained silent.

She lied quite a lot, but she never lied when it came to matters concerning human life.

If it can be cured, then it can be cured; if it cannot be cured, then it cannot be cured.

Song Qingxue did not pay attention to his silence. After saying that, she turned back to look at the eldest prince, "By the way, Your Highness, please show me the prescriptions for the medicines you have taken recently."

The eldest prince, who had been sentenced to death, suddenly heard that he still had a chance to survive. He was so stunned for a moment that he didn't even hear what Song Qingxue said.

Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, Song Qingxue called out, "Your Highness?"

"Hmm?" The eldest prince looked at her in a daze, "Aunt, what did you just say?"

"I asked you to show me all the prescriptions you've taken recently."
