The news that Xiao Qingze had woken up soon reached the ears of the prince. The prince was so angry that he kicked the kneeling Imperial Physician Liu to the ground.
"Idiot, what on earth are you doing? You didn't even notice that the person was awake."
"Your Highness, please spare my life. Don't worry, the toxins in his body have not been removed yet. I put some more in his medication this time. His current condition is only temporary."
"You'd better promise, otherwise I won't be soft-hearted towards you."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The prince was really worried. Although most of the people who knew about this matter back then were dead, he was still worried about Xiao Qingze. This man was too evil.
The next morning he came to the Wuding Marquis' Mansion and checked on Xiao Qingze's current condition under the pretext of a visit.
Seeing him lying on the couch, unable to move anything except his eyes, he felt relieved.
When Rong Xi and Old Madam Xiao were not paying attention, he pinched Xiao Qingze's hand hard. Seeing that he was just a little red in the face but there was nothing else wrong, he left here with peace of mind.
After returning, he went to find Liu Yuyi and said, "This time, you must keep a close eye on me. If there is any mistake, I will take your head."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The news that Xiao Qingze had awakened quickly spread throughout Kyoto and even reached the emperor's ears.
The emperor's expression was so unrecognizable that anyone who went to reply to him didn't know what state they should be in when facing him.
The emperor really didn't expect him to wake up, and he didn't know whether to be happy or what to do.
Now the barbarians are causing chaos again, and there is no one in the court who can do the job. If he is well, it would be safest to hand over this matter to him.
Four generations of the Xiao family have served in the army. Although the first three generations have lost their lives on the battlefield, the military power in the hands of the Xiao family has become increasingly greater.
If he wakes up and finds out what happened back then, he might rebel.
The emperor sat in the imperial study with a headache. In fact, he had some friendship with Xiao Qingze's father. When he was still a prince, his father was his right-hand man.
If he were just a soldier in the army, he could still live well.
"Someone, go find the prince."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
He knew what his son had done to Xiao Qingze, but he ignored him because he saw that his goal was the same as his.
I guess he doesn't want Xiao Qingze to wake up, so let him handle this matter.
"Crown Prince, I heard that Xiao Qingze has woken up. You two were close friends back then. You should visit him more often. After all, if it weren't for him, you wouldn't have been able to take the throne so easily."
For a moment, the prince thought that his father had discovered something, but after trying for a long time, he still couldn't get anything out of him.
.
This day, Xiao Qingze came directly to Old Madam Xiao's yard. This was the first time he had come here in the past two years.
It seems like nothing has changed here, yet it feels like everything has changed.
He was supported by Fu Qi and walked into the yard. In the eyes of outsiders, he was just a man who had just woken up for half a month. His thoughts were unclear, his speech was incoherent, and he even needed someone to support him to take a few steps.
This is what he wanted the outside world to see. When several elders from the clan came to see him, he couldn't even recognize them clearly.
After Xiao Qingze was helped to sit down, an old man came in from the side door. This was the old lady Xiao who had specially called in to check on his health.
Old Madam Xiao was still worried about Xiao Qingze's health. Although he had recovered, she was still worried because she hadn't heard from the doctor himself. Moreover, she had never seen the so-called miracle doctor.
The reason why Xiao Qingze agreed was that he wanted to see how he was doing now.
Although Rong Xi cured her of the poison, she never said much.
After the old doctor sat down, he took his pulse. It was fine at first, but then his brows became more and more furrowed.
After seeing this, Old Madam Xiao also began to panic.
"Doctor, how is my grandson?"
The old doctor took Xiao Qingze's pulse again as if to confirm something, and only spoke after a long time.
"Madam, the Marquis's illness is no longer serious and he is in very good health, but..."
Old Madam Xiao was almost driven to death by his hesitant look.
"Doctor, what happened?"
The doctor looked at Xiao Qingze and said to Madam Xiao with a look of regret, "Although the Marquis has recovered, his foundation was damaged before. I'm afraid... I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to have children in the future."
"What!?"
The news hit the two of them like a bolt from the blue, and Xiao Qingze's face instantly turned cold.
How could this happen? I wanted to use a child to trap Rong Xi. If I can't have children in the future, will Rong Xi despise me and leave me?
How can this be possible? Rong Xi is mine. How can this be possible?
Seeing that he was obviously panicking, Old Madam Xiao calmed herself down before comforting Xiao Qingze.
"Ze'er, this is fate, but I'm glad you're okay. As for the child, we were planning to adopt one from your second grandfather's family, so don't worry."
Xiao Qingze couldn't hear what his grandmother was saying at all. He just wanted to see Rong Xi as soon as possible.
Before leaving, he looked at the old doctor with murderous eyes and said, "You'd better control your mouth, otherwise..."
There is no need to say what comes next, everyone present knows what the consequences are.
Old Madam Xiao thought that Ze Ge'er was sad because he couldn't have children, so she didn't say anything. She gave the old doctor some instructions before sending him away.
.
When Xiao Qingze returned to the yard, Rong Xi was still lying on the chaise longue in the yard.
From the moment he entered the yard, he no longer had to act half-dead. He simply walked over and picked up Rong Xi.
Rong Xi was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly picked up and startled.
When I opened my eyes, I saw Xiao Qingze looking like he was about to cry.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"Xi'er, you won't leave me, right?"
Rong Xi was confused by the question. Where could she go? The original owner's family was here, and she came here to carry out a mission. Where could she go before completing the mission?
Xiao Qingze, who didn't get an answer from Rong Xi, leaned even more sadly in Rong Xi's arms, and held Rong Xi's waist with even greater strength.
Rong Xi was startled and tried to pull his hand away. "What are you doing?"
"Xi'er, you don't like me, but I can't live without you, so why can't you like me?"
Xiao Qingze's hands became tighter and tighter. The more Rong Xi didn't want him to hold her, the more he wanted to hold her in his arms and prevent her from escaping.
In a panic, Rong Xi exerted force with both hands and grabbed one of Xiao Qingze's hands. Having nothing to protect herself, she bit it directly.
Xiao Qingze looked at his hand being bitten in her mouth and laughed as if he didn't feel any pain.
