"Your Majesty, you should go and rest for a while. The Empress has lost so much blood and needs to recuperate. Doctor Liang said not to disturb her," Su Peisheng said, forcing himself to speak. In truth, he hadn't rested at all and was already dizzy with exhaustion.
"Yes, Father, you should go and rest. Aunt Thirteen and I will watch over her." Bechuk and Zhaojia got up early in the morning and learned that Lanqin had been rescued. They were so excited that they quickly dressed and rushed over.
“Yes, Your Majesty should go and rest. If Consort Xi wakes up and sees Your Majesty like this, she will be worried,” Zhao Jia Shi hurriedly added.
When Fourth Prince heard Zhao Jia say this, he was genuinely afraid that Lan Qin would wake up and see him like this, so he said, "Alright, you all come and watch over her. Su Peisheng, Baoqin, and Yuxiao, you all go and rest, and have someone else take over serving her. Thirteenth and Seventeenth, and Hongli?"
"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince has already gone to rest. The Thirteenth Prince and the Seventeenth Prince heard early this morning that Consort Xi had woken up, so they haven't seen the two princes since," Su Peisheng said.
After thinking for a moment, Fourth Master said to Zhao Jia, "If Thirteen and Seventeen come over, tell them to go and rest as well. They've been up all day and need a break."
After giving these instructions, Fourth Master went to another room to rest. Su Peisheng followed him to rest. Although Baoqin and Yuxiao also found a place to rest for a while, they hadn't slept and were now exhausted, so Chu Ke told them to go and rest.
Meanwhile, in the Apricot Blossom Spring Pavilion.
"Princess, I'm afraid we can't go through this now!" A'luo said to Xueying, who was about to leave.
“The Empress Consort is ill, and I should go to visit her,” Xueying said to Aluo.
“But now that the Emperor has kept all the princes and their wives here, it’s clear he suspects someone is involved in this assassination attempt. Princess, we should stay here obediently for now,” A’Luo advised.
"I can't worry about that now. No matter what, I still want to go see Consort Xi." Xueying knew it wasn't the right time to wander around, but she was genuinely worried.
"Where are you going, little sister?" Ulanara Shuzhen, supported by her maid, came out of the house opposite Xueying and saw Xueying and A'luo arguing at the door.
"I'm going to see Consort Xi," Xueying said calmly.
"My sister isn't officially married yet. If she is, it's not too late for her to become a good daughter-in-law!" Shuzhen said with a slight smile.
"Sister, what you're saying is really strange. Did you not hear what the Emperor said yesterday? As the wife of the Emperor's eldest son, you should be sharing the Emperor's burdens. But now, with this look of watching the show and this tone, are you trying to cause trouble for your cousin?" Xueying couldn't help but scold.
"You!" Shuzhen's face flushed red with anger, but she had no words to retort to Xueying. She knew that her aunt had always been dissatisfied with her and had originally wanted Xueying to marry Hongshi.
“If my cousin is going to see Consort Xi, then I, the Prince, shall go with her,” Hongshi said gracefully from behind Shuzhen.
"Your Highness!" Shuzhen was even more annoyed and glared at Hongshi.
“My cousin is right. Consort Xi is in critical condition. We can’t help Father Emperor, so we should go and visit her to see if there’s anything we can do,” Hongshi said, seemingly oblivious to Shuzhen’s gaze.
