Concubine Li shook her head and tried to comfort the Fourth Princess, but then she started coughing again.
Only after drinking a glass of water did Concubine Li recover. Looking at the blood on her body, she knew that she might not have much time left. How many concubines who were banished to the cold palace could have a good end?
It wouldn't matter if I died, but Jingyu was still young, and after such a big change, what would she do in the future? Thinking of this, Concubine Li felt extremely sad, and she regretted again that she had not taught the fourth princess well.
The mother and daughter leaned against each other, silently shedding tears, but the Fourth Princess put her arm around Concubine Li's thin shoulders, and the look in her eyes became more and more determined.
After finally waiting for Concubine Li to fall asleep, the Fourth Princess got up, carefully covered Concubine Li with a quilt, and then looked at the sky outside.
I stood up, pushed open the heavy palace gate and walked into the courtyard, looking at the stars in the sky. I was afraid that I would never see such a beautiful night sky again.
The fourth princess turned around and said expressionlessly to the closed palace gate, "I want to see him."
The Fourth Princess knew that Han Xiao had been sending people to monitor her ever since she was imprisoned in Baohua Palace.
With Han Xiao's personality, how could he let me go easily after I hurt the person closest to him?
The fourth princess was lost in thought for a long time when she heard footsteps outside the palace gate. The palace gate that had been closed for many days finally opened.
Looking at the scenery outside the palace gate, the fourth princess felt dazed.
"Greetings, Your Highness." Xing Yi said in a deep voice.
"It's you? I didn't expect that my third brother would trust Han Xiao so much." He actually let Han Xiao's confidant be placed in the palace.
Xing Yi did not respond to the Fourth Princess's questioning, but took out an envelope from her arms and handed it to the Fourth Princess.
The Fourth Princess sneered, "Why, he won't even come to see me?"
Xing Yi lowered his eyes and did not respond, just stood aside silently.
The Fourth Princess was furious when she saw this, but there was nothing she could do at this moment. Concubine Li was still ill, and it was not the time for her to act willfully.
The fourth princess opened the envelope with trembling hands and saw the vigorous handwriting on it. She felt sad in her heart. It turned out that Han Xiao really had no feelings for her.
I'm afraid he already knew that I would go to him for help, otherwise why would Xing Yi come so quickly.
"Is what Han Xiao said true? If I agree, he will let Jing Hua and the Li family go?" When the Fourth Princess looked up again, her eyes were cold.
"Yes." Xing Yi was not surprised at all that the Fourth Princess would ask this.
"Then tell him that I agree and will go to see the emperor tomorrow. Please don't break your promise, Han Xiao. Otherwise, I will never grant his wish even if I die."
After saying that, the Fourth Princess ignored Xing Yi and turned back.
Xing Yi got the result he wanted, waved his hand, and two imperial doctors walked out quickly from behind him. They simply saluted the Fourth Princess before walking into the inner room.
With the imperial physician coming, I believe Concubine Li will be fine.
The palace gate was closed again, but this time the palace maids who came with Xing Yi stayed, and the lifeless Baohua Palace suddenly became a little lively.
When Xing Yi returned to Han's house, Han Xiao had not gone to bed yet. Chao Chao, perhaps because he had overslept in the afternoon, kept pestering Han Xiao and refused to go to bed.
The young master was also wearing soft silk pajamas and sitting on the bed playing with Chaochao.
Hearing the knock on the door, Han Xiao knew that it was Xing Yi who came back. He put Chao Chao in the young master's arms and said softly, "Ruan Ruan, you guys go to sleep first. I'll be back soon."
Although the young master was a little unhappy, he also knew that Han Xiao was worried. He could only bite Han Xiao's shoulder viciously before saying, "Well, then you have to come back soon."
Getting the young master to sleep is harder than climbing to the sky, but playing with him is almost the same.
Han Xiao was not angry even after being bitten. He pinched the tip of the young master's nose and said, "I know. If you are sleepy, go to sleep first. No need to wait for me. If Chaochao makes a fuss, ask Chuyi and the others to send her to mother."
Anyway, Han's mother will definitely be willing to take care of the baby.
"Okay, go ahead." The young master pushed Han Xiao out.
Han Xiao smiled before turning around and leaving.
The next morning, the gate of Baohua Palace opened again.
The Fourth Princess led her people through the Imperial Garden and walked into the Imperial Study. At this time, Chu Jinglin had already finished his court session, and a trace of fatigue appeared on his face.
Han Xiao looked at Chu Jinglin and sighed again that no wonder emperors in ancient times died early. No one could stand the life of getting up earlier than a chicken and sleeping later than a dog.
"What's with that expression on your face?" Chu Jinglin got a headache whenever he saw Han Xiao.
Han Xiao straightened his mind and said, "No, nothing, I just thought of something. Oh, Chu Jingyu will be here soon."
As he spoke, he leisurely leaned back in his chair to make himself more comfortable.
Seeing Han Xiao's unruly look, Chu Jinglin regretted again why he had given Ruanruan to Han Xiao.
Han Xiao didn't care what Chu Jinglin was thinking. He was now thinking about taking Ruanruan to travel and enjoy the scenery after all the problems were resolved.
By the way, let's hand over Chaochao, that little troublemaker, to Mr. Qinghe.
"I know, you don't need to ask me, but Han Xiao, do you really not consider staying to help me?" Chu Jinglin loves and hates Han Xiao.
He also knew that Han Xiaozhi was not interested in this, but he still felt a little unwilling.
Han Xiao shook his head and stood up: "Don't, I was thinking of taking Ruanruan out to play. I've seen all the places in the capital, and it's not interesting. If you have anything to do, you can go to my father. My father is much better than me."
Chu Jinglin looked at Han Xiao speechlessly. Of course he knew that Han Mingyuan was also a talent. Did he need Han Xiao to remind him?
Moreover, Chu Jinglin had never seen anyone like Han Xiao. It seemed that fame, wealth and power could not attract him.
Chu Jinglin didn't try to persuade him any further and let Han Xiao leave first.
It wouldn't be a good idea to run into the Fourth Princess later.
Not long after Han Xiao left, the Fourth Princess arrived outside the imperial study and was waiting.
When Chu Jinglin heard the name of the Fourth Princess, his face turned cold even though he already knew the purpose of her visit.
The Fourth Princess looked at the familiar scene in front of her. In the past, when she came to the imperial study, she could come and go freely. That was the favor given to her by her father and also a privilege.
I didn't expect that things are so unpredictable, and there would be a day when I would have to wait outside the door for an audience.
It was not until the door of the imperial study opened that the Fourth Princess came to her senses and walked towards the door with her skirt lifted.
"Jingyu pays homage to the emperor..." The fourth princess bowed her head and knelt on the ground.
Chu Jinglin felt mixed emotions when he saw the much thinner Fourth Princess. He and the Fourth Princess grew up together, so they had some friendship.
"Get up, someone give the Fourth Princess a seat."
