The Crown Prince recently discovered that Suhetai was treating him with disdain, and Suhetai seemed very dissatisfied with him, even though he didn't seem to have offended Suhetai at all!
After court that day, the Crown Prince stopped Su Hetai and asked, "General, how is He Xue doing lately?"
Although the Crown Prince knew that Su Hetai would be dissatisfied, he really wanted to know how He Xue was doing. He had sent people to the General's Mansion, but each time they were stopped at the door and could not see He Xue at all.
"Hmph!" Su Hetai looked at the Crown Prince with displeasure. "My daughter is doing well in the manor, so there's no need for the Crown Prince to worry about her!" He then left.
"Second Prince, have you offended Suhetai recently?" The eldest prince put his hand on the crown prince's shoulder.
The Third Prince and the Fourth Prince also came over.
“Yes, Second Brother! Uncle seems to be a little dissatisfied with you!” Fourth Prince said.
The Crown Prince sighed, "It's not just a little, it's extreme dissatisfaction! The problem is, I don't know why!"
"It's alright, Second Brother! Mother said that He Xue will be entering the palace in the next few days. We can ask He Xue then; perhaps she knows!" The Fourth Prince comforted the Crown Prince.
"When will He Xue enter the palace?" The Crown Prince immediately asked the Fourth Prince upon hearing that He Xue was going to enter the palace.
"Mother didn't say exactly when, she only said she wanted to bring Hexue into the palace!" the Fourth Prince said.
"Alright, I understand!" The crown prince looked somewhat dejected.
On this day, He Xue finally entered the palace. Although Su He Tai did not want He Xue to enter the palace, he could not resist He Xue's pleas and had no choice but to reluctantly let He Xue enter the palace.
Consort Tongjia received news that He Xue had entered the palace and waited at the gate.
"Your Highness, please go back and wait! The princess will be here soon!" Ren Dong advised from the side.
"I understand. I've missed that girl quite a bit since she left the palace!" Although Consort Tongjia agreed verbally, she didn't move and waited at the door.
Seeing this, Ren Dong said nothing more and draped a cloak over Consort Tongjia, saying, "With the princess gone, our Chengqian Palace has become so quiet, and this servant is finding it a little strange!"
“Who says otherwise! I’m so used to Xue’s noise that I can’t stand the sudden quiet!” Consort Tongjia said with a smile.
"Aunt, I'm back!" When He Xue arrived at Chengqian Palace, she saw Consort Tongjia standing at the door waiting for her, and then she ran towards Consort Tongjia.
"Slow down!" Consort Tongjia said.
"Aunt, I've missed you so much!" He Xue said, hugging Consort Tongjia.
"Your aunt misses you too!" Consort Tongjia led Hexue by the hand and walked towards Chengqian Palace.
He Xue presented all the things she had bought outside the palace as if they were treasures, saying, "Aunt, these are all little trinkets I bought outside the palace. You can use them to pass the time!"
"Good! With you by my side, I won't feel bored!" Consort Tongjia smiled as she looked at Rong Rong.
"Then I'll stay by my aunt's side forever!"
“Good!” said Consort Tongjia.
"Aunt, these are your favorite snacks. Mother asked me to bring them in for you!" He Xue placed the snacks in front of Consort Tongjia.
Consort Tongjia looked at the pastries in front of her. If it weren't for Hexue, she probably would never have been able to eat pastries from outside the palace again. Hexue would bring them in for her every time she entered the palace.
"Aunt, won't you try some?" He Xue asked. Every time she brought it in before, Consort Tongjia would try a piece.
"Auntie, you can eat later!" Consort Tongjia said.
He Xue then noticed that Consort Tongjia's complexion was not good. "Aunt, what's wrong? Why do you look so pale?"
"It's alright, Auntie is probably just tired lately, she'll be fine after a rest!" Consort Tongjia comforted He Xue.
He Xue had forgotten when Consort Tongjia died in history. If she could change history, she hoped she could change Consort Tongjia's fate and allow her to live longer.
This is also beneficial to the Fourth Prince, as he doesn't need to return to Consort De's side, since Consort De has no maternal affection for the Fourth Prince.
Moreover, Consort Tongjia was really good to her, and she didn't want to lose such a loving elder.
"Aunt, I'll go find the imperial physician for you. You'll be alright!" He Xue said, her voice trembling with tears.
Consort Tongjia pulled Hexue close and wiped away her tears. "Auntie is really alright! Don't worry!"
"Really?" He Xue asked doubtfully. She felt powerless. She knew the fate of Consort Tongjia, but she couldn't change anything.
"It's true, my aunt has already seen the imperial physician, and the physician said she's fine!"
Go play for a while, your aunt will have someone make you something delicious!
"Okay, Auntie, you should rest for a bit!"
“Alright!” Consort Tongjia replied.
After He Xue left, Consort Tongjia said to Ren Dong, "If He Xue asks in the future, just say that I am fine. Don't let He Xue know about my condition!"
"Yes! Your Highness, you'll be alright in a while. You still have to watch the princess and the fourth prince grow up!" Ren Dong didn't know whether she was comforting herself or Consort Tongjia.
"Yes, I still have to watch them grow up!" Although Consort Tongjia said this, she felt that she had been tricked this time and did not know if she could get through it.
