"Does He Xue want Shen Zhixing and Xu Fengbai to accompany you to eat all the delicacies in the world?" the Crown Prince asked.
He Xue rarely mentioned others in front of him, but unexpectedly, she mentioned Shen Zhixing and Xu Fengbai this time.
Does He Xue have special feelings for the two of them?
What should he do if that's the case? He was unwilling to see He Xue with someone else, but if he forced He Xue to stay by his side, wouldn't He Xue be unhappy? He couldn't bear to see He Xue sad.
"I don't want to!" He Xue shook her head. "Father said that the two of them are rare talents. It would be a waste of their talents to have them accompany me. They should be fighting on the battlefield to protect our country!"
After hearing He Xue's words, the Crown Prince was relieved. He tends to become anxious and insecure whenever He Xue is involved.
"Are He Xue and Shen Zhixing, and Xu Fengbai, very familiar with each other?" the Crown Prince asked seemingly casually.
"We're not very close, it's just that my father keeps mentioning them, so I don't know much about what happened when I was a child!"
"I only remember that the one who was by my side when I was little was my brother, the Crown Prince!" He Xue said, smiling at the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince smiled and ruffled He Xue's hair. "Your Crown Prince brother will always be with you! He Xue will always stay by your Crown Prince brother's side too!"
"Okay!" He Xue agreed without even thinking.
The Crown Prince felt that He Xue was too naive, and he would definitely keep a close eye on her in the future to prevent her from being deceived by people with ill intentions.
The Crown Prince ate something with He Xue and then sent her back to Chengqian Palace.
The Crown Prince originally wanted He Xue to stay in Yuqing Palace for two more days, but He Xue insisted on returning to Chengqian Palace. The Crown Prince could not refuse He Xue, so he sent her back to Chengqian Palace.
He Xue returned to Chengqian Palace and overheard someone say that Consort Tongjia had woken up. Upon hearing this, He Xue disregarded everything else and immediately ran towards Consort Tongjia's room.
The Crown Prince knew that He Xue cared about Consort Tongjia, so he couldn't just watch her. He could only keep telling He Xue to slow down.
When Xue entered, she happened to see Imperial Physician Liu taking the pulse of Consort Tongjia.
He Xue didn't dare to disturb Physician Liu and patiently waited by his side.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Noble Consort's health has been severely damaged. She will probably only be able to recover slowly in the future, but it is unlikely that she can recover to the same level as a normal person."
"The poison has been in the Imperial Noble Consort's body for too long. Even if it is cured now, it will still shorten her lifespan!" Physician Liu bowed and said to Emperor Kangxi.
"It's alright, Imperial Physician Liu, please rest assured. I will never blame you in the future. I owe you so much this time!" Consort Tongjia said. She was already very grateful that she was able to wake up this time. She considered it a stolen life. No matter how long it took, she would be grateful.
"Uya! I will tear her to pieces right now!" Kangxi said, as if gritting his teeth.
"When exactly did Consort Wuya poison my aunt? Could it be that Consort Wuya has people in Chengqian Palace? If that's the case, Consort Wuya's influence is really too far-reaching!" He Xue pondered.
"Cousin, I'm alright now, aren't I?" Consort Tongjia reassured Emperor Kangxi.
"Liang Jiugong, execute Wuya immediately and prepare to poison her!" Kangxi said.
"Yes, Your Majesty! This servant will take care of it immediately!" Liang Jiugong replied.
"Imperial Physician Liu, please take good care of the Imperial Noble Consort's health! I'm entrusting the Imperial Noble Consort to you, and I won't treat you unfairly this time!" Kangxi instructed Imperial Physician Liu.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will do my best to help the Imperial Noble Consort recover her health."
"I dare not accept credit for this! It is all thanks to the Crown Prince and Princess Hexue!" Physician Liu dared not take credit for himself.
"That's right, it's really thanks to He Xue!" Kangxi said in agreement.
Consort Tongjia looked up and saw Hexue standing at the door. She waved to Hexue and said, "Hexue, come to your aunt!"
"Aunt!" He Xue came to Consort Tongjia's side.
"Good child, you must have been terrified this time!" Consort Tongjia looked at Hexue with affection.
"As long as Auntie is alright, that's all that matters!" He Xue said, holding back her tears.
"Cousin, I believe He Xue is your lucky star. I have decided to adopt He Xue as my goddaughter!" Kangxi said. After the Eighth Princess passed away, it was He Xue who stayed by Consort Tongjia's side, and it was then that Consort Tongjia's health improved.
This time it was also with Xue. Although Xue's behavior was a bit rash, the final result was good.
"Adopted daughter?" Consort Tongjia asked in surprise.
"Yes, it was issued together with the decree conferring the title of Imperial Noble Consort on you!" Kangxi said.
Consort Tongjia thought this was a good idea, as it would make He Xue and the Crown Prince siblings, and the Crown Prince would have to think twice before marrying He Xue.
"Alright, cousin, you can decide everything!" Consort Tongjia said with a smile.
