After Wei Junhang left, Shen Xinyan began to refuse visitors with the door closed, and devoted herself to taking care of the Grand Princess and taking care of household affairs, and no longer paid attention to anything else.

The eldest princess's illness became worse day by day. Later on, she gradually changed from asking Wei Chenglin all the time to asking when the father and son would return.

Shen Xinyan could only coax her again and again: "Don't worry, mother, the Duke is going to pick up Lin Ge'er! The Rongdi attacked the city from the south, and Lin Ge'er's journey was delayed. The Duke was worried, so he went to pick him up and bring him back to see you."

The eldest princess didn't know if she understood what she said. She stared at her blankly. Suddenly, a happy smile appeared on her face. "Oh, right, the Rongdi people are heading south. The Duke is leading the army to fight. The brothers Jun Ting and Jun Hang are following. Don't be afraid. The Rongdi people can't cause any trouble. As long as the Duke and his sons go, they can be driven away quickly."

"Just rest assured and take care of your baby in the mansion. This time, you will give Yu'er and Min'er a brother. If you feel bored, I will ask Shen to talk to you."

Shen Xinyan was stunned, and it took her a while to react. Did the Grand Princess... think she was Fang?

Then, she heard the eldest princess say happily: "When Jun Ting comes back, he will be very happy to know that he is a father again. Brothers fight together, and fathers and sons fight together. When the time comes, Jun Ting and Jun Hang will each take their own sons to the battlefield and drive all those hateful Rongdi people out of the border!"

"Mother, mother, do you know who I am?" She couldn't help it any longer and asked tentatively in a low voice.

"What's wrong with you? Did you become confused just after Junhang left?" The eldest princess was full of suspicion, then she sighed, patted the back of her hand, and her expression was a little pitiful. "You just came in, so you may not be used to it for a while. Even if Junhang is useless, he is a member of the Wei family after all. He must take the country's justice and the people's livelihood as his responsibility. This time he goes with his father and brother, and when he returns in triumph, you, as his wife, will also be proud!"

Shen Xinyan was even more confused by her words, but one thing was certain, that is, there was something wrong with the Grand Princess's memory.

Alarm bells were ringing in her heart, and she was extremely uneasy. She held the Grand Princess's hand with her backhand, and said in a trembling voice, "Don't worry, mother. I've kept it in mind."

The Grand Princess nodded with satisfaction: "That's right!"

Shen Xinyan forced a smile and lowered her voice and said, "Mother got up early today, so you must be sleepy now. Why don't you let your daughter-in-law take care of you and rest for a while?"

The eldest princess thought for a moment and nodded again meekly: "That's fine. Let me sleep for a while and then go check on Lin Ge'er. This child was already making a fuss yesterday and wanted to eat the red date cake in my grandmother's room."

"Okay, okay, when you wake up, I'll ask someone to bring Lin Ge'er over." Shen Xinyan's voice trembled even more violently.

The eldest princess drooped her eyelids and said "hmm". Shen Xinyan hurriedly helped her lie down and gently tucked the corners of the quilt for her. Seeing that she quickly closed her eyes and fell asleep in a short while, she took a deep breath, walked out lightly, and ordered Zi Yan in a low voice: "Go and call the imperial physician immediately!"

Seeing her serious expression, Zi Yan did not dare to delay and left in a hurry.

"Your Highness' condition is more serious than before. I'm afraid..." After the imperial physician made the diagnosis, he let out a long sigh.

Shen Xinyan's heart tightened: "Mother, this is just a mental illness. If the mental illness is resolved, everything will be fine, right? Why is it that now, she is a little confused?"

"Your Highness is old after all. This disease is not something that can be cured overnight. This time, he is mentally and physically injured. His life span will eventually be shortened."

The imperial physician then said a lot of professional words, but Shen Xinyan's mind went blank and she could not hear anything else.

After the imperial physician left, she sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, looking at the sleeping eldest princess. Unconsciously, tears slowly rolled down her cheeks.

Over the years, she was able to quickly take charge of the affairs of the mansion, which was inseparable from the support and guidance of the Grand Princess. Although the Grand Princess was still the Grand Princess who would not allow anyone to contradict her, she treated her very well.

She couldn't deny that she once resented the Grand Princess, blaming her for being biased and too strong. But at this moment, when she was worried about her eldest son whose life and death was unknown and her husband who was going to the battlefield, she was still by her side, worrying about what she was worrying about and thinking about what she was thinking about.

"Madam, you have been busy all day. Why don't you go back and rest for a while? You can leave this to Sister Mingshuang and the others." Zi Yan came forward and advised in a low voice.

Shen Xinyan lowered her eyes and shook her head slowly: "No need, I don't feel tired, you guys go and do your things, I'll be fine here."

How could she sleep at this time? In fact, whenever she closed her eyes these days, she would think of the unpleasant scene of her eldest son covered in blood.

"Has there been any letter from Fourth Aunt?" she asked in a low voice.

"Just now Fourth Aunt sent someone back to the mansion, but she didn't mention it. I guess it hasn't happened yet."

Shen Xinyan was silent.

Seeing that she was determined to stay and look after the Grand Princess, Zi Yan did not want to persuade her any further and quietly left.

As soon as she walked out the door, she saw Chunliu walking towards her with a smile on her face. She was a little surprised and hurriedly went to greet her: "Sister, is there anything good going on? Why are you so happy?"

"It is indeed a great joy!" Chun Liu couldn't help but smile, but pretended to be mysterious and said, "But I won't tell you now, I want my wife to know first!"

Zi Yan was startled. Chun Liu had already walked past her and walked briskly into the house.

Shen Xinyan was just putting back the Grand Princess's hand that had stretched out from the quilt, when Chun Liu walked up to her with a smile on her face and whispered, "Madam, you are very happy. Madam, you are very happy."

Overjoyed? Shen Xinyan looked back at her in confusion, then her eyes lit up.

Could it be that the whereabouts of the eldest son has been discovered?

"But has Lin'er been found?!" She grabbed Chunliu's sleeve anxiously.

"Lin'er, Lin'er is back?" Perhaps her voice was a little too high, or the Grand Princess was in a very light sleep, but just as she finished her words, she heard the Grand Princess's surprised voice from behind.

Chunliu was stunned, looking at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who had hardly smiled in recent days, but now had faces full of anticipation. For some reason, she didn't dare to look at them directly, and she didn't even know whether she should tell them the good news.

"Why don't you speak quickly? It's really frustrating!" Shen Xinyan became anxious when she saw her just standing there blankly without saying a word, and hurriedly urged her.

"Don't rush her, don't rush her. Just take your time and tell me whether it is Brother Lin who is back." The eldest princess stopped her hastily, but the light in her eyes was brighter than Shen Xinyan's.

Chun Liu hesitated for a while, and finally said slowly: "No, it's not the news about the prince, it's about the fourth aunt. The doctor just diagnosed that the fourth aunt is pregnant!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law both showing disappointment on their faces, but in a moment they smiled again and said in unison: "Good, good, good, this is really a great joy!"

She finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although there was still no news about the eldest son, the daughter's pregnancy was a great joyous event. It dispelled a lot of the worries and depression that had lingered in the mansion for many days, and even the eldest princess's complexion instantly improved a lot.

"It's good that she's pregnant, it's good that she's pregnant. Shen, you should quickly prepare some things that a pregnant woman might need and send them to the Marquis' Mansion! No, no, Pingfu is not here, how can we rest assured that she will be alone in the mansion? You should go and bring her back in person and let her stay for a while. I'll talk to Concubine Rui in the palace." The Grand Princess ordered with all her energy.

There was no reason for Shen Xinyan to refuse. To be honest, she was worried about her daughter staying alone in the Marquis' Mansion.

After taking a few quick steps, she suddenly stopped, turned around and stared at the radiant eldest princess, her brows unconsciously furrowed.

"What are you doing standing there? Go quickly!" The Grand Princess frowned and urged her when she saw her standing there without moving.

"Oh, OK, OK, I'll go right away. But, mother, I'll let you talk to the Imperial Concubine. After leaving the palace, I'll take Ying'er back. You'll have to tell her what to be careful of. I know her temper, and she won't dare disobey you."

The Grand Princess thought about it and agreed: "That's fine, after all I have more experience than you."

Seeing that she agreed, Shen Xinyan ordered someone to prepare the car and get ready to enter the palace.

Concubine Rui in the palace was also overjoyed to hear the news. When she heard that she wanted to bring Wei Yingzhi back home to take care of her personally for a while, there was no reason for her to refuse.

Her nephew was not at home, and there were no elders in the marquis's mansion. She was also worried about her niece-in-law who had just become pregnant. She was considering whether to bring her into the palace and take care of her personally for a while, but she changed her mind and gave up the idea.

The palace today is not a place where one can rest in peace!

Seeing that she had responded so straightforwardly and given many things a pregnant woman needed, Shen Xinyan was extremely grateful. She said goodbye to her and planned to leave the palace to go to the marquis's mansion to pick up her daughter.

She followed the palace maid who led the way and walked a distance away. Just as she got on the sedan chair out of the palace, she suddenly heard rapid footsteps outside the sedan chair. The next moment, it seemed that someone said something outside the sedan chair, which caused the palace maid who led her out of the palace to let out a shocked cry.

Her heart tensed and she subconsciously tightened the handkerchief in her hand, her face turning slightly pale.

If she heard correctly, someone outside seemed to say, "His Majesty suddenly fainted in the Golden Palace."

At this critical juncture of internal and external troubles, she dared not imagine what would happen to the court, the Duke's Mansion, her husband who was off to the battlefield, and her eldest son whose life or death was unknown if something happened to Emperor Yuanyou.

Just after receiving the good news, something happened to Emperor Yuanyou the next moment. Concubine Rui was so worried that her heart was in her throat.

"What are you all doing here? Where's the imperial physician?!" she shouted angrily.

"The imperial physician is here, the imperial physician is here!" The palace maid hurriedly led the imperial physician in.
