However, seeing that he was not getting better, his mother, Mrs. Su, changed his doctor and invited a doctor from outside the palace to treat him.
Ren Yaoqi watched coldly from this side. She was almost certain that Xiao Jingyue was probably already well by now, but he was just pretending to be poisoned by Yan Ningshuang one after another.
Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin both believed that they must have other plans, so they remained silent.
October was fast approaching, and Xiao Jingxi suddenly lost contact. No news came back to the mansion for several days. Ren Yaoqi was anxious, but Xiao Jinglin comforted her, saying, "Don't worry. He had made thorough preparations before leaving. This complete silence was probably a plan."
Although he said so, Xiao Jinglin still frowned when Ren Yaoqi couldn't see.
The news she received was that Xiao Jingxi and his group had been pursued and disappeared near Wuzhou. This incident had not been among the matters Xiao Jingxi had discussed with her. The negotiations between the imperial court and the Liao Kingdom were about to begin, and it would be bad if Xiao Jingxi, representing the Yanbei Palace, did not show up. Therefore, Xiao Jinglin began to suspect that something had happened to Xiao Jingxi.
But even though it was just a guess, Xiao Jinglin still didn't tell Ren Yaoqi about it, because the princess said that although Ren Yaoqi's fetus is stable now, it is better not to stimulate it if possible.
A few days later, King Yanbei returned home and suddenly called Xiao Jinglin over.
No one knew what King Yanbei talked about with Xiao Jinglin, but the next day Xiao Jinglin came to say goodbye to Ren Yaoqi.
"Are you going back to Jiajing Pass now?" Ren Yaoqi asked with a frown, "Didn't you say it would take a while?"
Xiao Jinglin said, "My father is afraid that the Liao Kingdom will take advantage of the fact that we are not in talks, so he asked me to return to Jiajing Pass." Xiao Jinglin glanced at Ren Yaoqi and added, "I will come back to see you when you give birth."
Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jinglin for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Jinglin, tell me the truth, are you going to Jiajingguan or Wuzhou this time?" Without waiting for Xiao Jinglin to answer, Ren Yaoqi asked, "Is there something wrong with your brother, so the prince asked you to go over and help him?"
Xiao Jinglin shook his head calmly and said, "No, I'm going back to Jiajing Pass. Don't overthink it. It's not good for the child."
Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jinglin for a while, smiled bitterly and said, "Jinglin, has anyone told you that if you lie, your eyes will blink twice in a row?"
Xiao Jinglin's expression froze for a long time. After a long moment, he finally sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Yaoqi. I didn't mean to lie to you. My father asked me to go to Wuzhou to pick up my second brother. He's injured."
Although Ren Yaoqi's face showed no expression when he heard this, his face turned pale.
"Where is the injury? Is it serious?"
Xiao Jinglin hesitated for a moment, then seeing Ren Yaoqi's expression, he finally told the truth: "I won't know the specific situation until I get there. The spies sent out by the palace saw the signal for help he sent, so his whereabouts are still unknown."
