"Hexue!"
When He Xue heard someone call her, she turned around and saw the Crown Prince walking towards her.
"Why don't you rest a little longer?" the crown prince asked.
"I've rested well!" He Xue looked at the Crown Prince, "Brother Crown Prince, where have you been?"
The Crown Prince just sent people to carefully examine Chengqian Palace to see if they could find anything. If Consort Tongjia was indeed poisoned, finding the poison would allow them to prepare an antidote more quickly.
The Crown Prince had no intention of hiding anything from He Xue. Although he would protect He Xue after she married him, He Xue couldn't be completely ignorant. She needed to understand the secrets of the inner palace to avoid being tricked by others in the future.
"I just sent people to carefully inspect Chengqian Palace to see if we can find anything."
I think perhaps Tong E'niang's condition wasn't simply due to physical weakness.
"Poisoned?" He Xue understood what the Crown Prince meant.
"Yes, that's what I suspect too! Physician Liu also has this suspicion. He's currently consulting ancient books partly to find a way to treat Tong E Niang, and partly to see if there are any similar records!"
When He Xue heard the Crown Prince say that Consort Tongjia might have been poisoned, her first suspect was Consort Wuya.
"Brother Crown Prince, did Physician Liu say... how much longer can Auntie wait?" He Xue said this with tears streaming down her face.
"Three days!" The Crown Prince couldn't bear to tell He Xue such a cruel thing, but it was a fact that He Xue had to accept.
"I understand!" He Xue wiped away her tears. "I'm going to see my aunt now; maybe she's already awake!"
"Come on, let's go take a look together!" The Crown Prince took He Xue's hand and walked forward.
When Xue and the Crown Prince arrived, they saw that Consort Yi had also come.
Consort Yi, with her sharp eyes, noticed that the Crown Prince had just come over holding He Xue's hand. Although it was inappropriate to think about these things now, she really couldn't help herself!
The Crown Prince watched He Xue grow up; they were true childhood sweethearts. It's just that He Xue's childhood sweetheart was a bit old, so the Crown Prince was like an old cow eating young grass!
She was a little envious of the Crown Prince and He Xue. "You accompanied me as I grew up, and I will accompany you as you grow old." But wouldn't He Xue be considered a child bride? She wondered what His Majesty's expression would be if he knew.
"He Xue, why don't you rest a little longer?" Consort Yi said with heartache as she looked at He Xue.
Just now, Consort Hui and Consort Rong told her everything about He Xue. Although she wasn't here, she heard Consort Hui and Consort Rong talking about it, and she was moved to tears. This child has truly lived up to the love and care that her Noble Consort had shown her.
"I want to stay with my aunt!"
"Alright, go quickly, the Fourth Prince is here too!" Consort Yi said.
"Uncle Emperor, why don't you go and rest for a while?" When He Xue came over, she saw Kangxi sitting in his seat with his head propped up by one hand and his eyes closed.
Kangxi opened his eyes upon hearing Hexue's voice. "Hexue is here. It's alright. I'll be fine sitting here for a while!"
"Uncle Emperor, your fourth brother and I are here. If your aunt saw you like this, she would definitely scold you for not taking care of your health!" He Xue said, holding back her tears.
"Yes, your aunt is the most worrier. She nags me every day!" Kangxi said, looking at the motionless Consort Tongjia on the bed.
"Father, you should go and rest. Otherwise, Mother will feel guilty if she sees you like this when she wakes up!" the Fourth Prince also advised Kangxi.
"I'll just rest on this couch for a while!" Kangxi said, pointing to the small couch in the room.
The Fourth Prince helped Kangxi to the small couch and helped him lie down.
He Xue looked at Consort Tongjia, tears welling up in her eyes again, "Aunt, please wake up soon! Can you bear to let Fourth Brother become a motherless child? Consort Wuya will not treat Fourth Brother sincerely."
He Xue held Consort Tongjia's hand and placed it on her face, just as Consort Tongjia would usually stroke her.
He Xue felt an itch on her face. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Consort Tongjia's hand. It really moved!
"Uncle Emperor, Fourth Brother, Aunt's hand is moving. Is Aunt about to wake up?" He Xue called out to Kangxi and the Fourth Prince.
Upon hearing this, Kangxi immediately got up and rushed to Consort Tongjia's bedside without even putting on his shoes. He was so anxious that he almost tripped over himself, but fortunately, the Fourth Prince caught him in time.
"Qingyao?" Kangxi called softly, looking at Consort Tongjia.
"Mother!" The Fourth Prince also looked at Consort Tongjia nervously.
He Xue kept her eyes fixed on Consort Tongjia, so nervous that she could hear her own heartbeat.
