Chapter 631: Afraid of losing his wife, what about the prince’s birthday?
The Queen Mother naturally didn't believe what she said, "Yu'er, are you mistaken? How could Wanxin do such a thing? Are you deliberately saying this about Wanxin to protect Concubine Han?"
Xiao Jinyu felt that the Empress Dowager was getting old and confused, but he couldn't say it in front of her for fear of making the old lady sick.
"Grandma, you trust outsiders more than your own grandson. When has your grandson ever been so unreasonable and confused about right and wrong? Even if your grandson didn't like Wanxin, he wouldn't frame her without knowing the truth."
Xiao Jinyu's tone was full of grievance.
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and thinking about Yu'er's character, she realized that she was definitely not the kind of person who would confuse right and wrong.
Now seeing her grandson so aggrieved, the Queen Mother felt that she had been too arbitrary.
"I don't look like the kind of person you said I was. Do you have any evidence?"
"Of course there is." Xiao Jinyu showed the evidence he had collected to the Queen Mother.
"Grandma, this is the evidence that Sun'er found."
After reading the evidence, the Queen Mother was filled with disbelief. "Wan Xin is actually such a person. I love her so much. She is so scheming and vicious."
The Queen Mother was very angry, including because her face was at stake, as she had been misjudged.
To ease the embarrassment, she asked, "How is Concubine Han?"
Xiao Jinyu said: "Princess Han has been in a coma for a long time and almost couldn't wake up. She just woke up yesterday and was very weak. Doctor Yu said it's not known whether she can recover."
Although the Queen Mother disliked Concubine Han, she was still very angry because Wan Xin had harmed her like this.
"Wan Xin is too vicious. Send a few more doctors to check on Concubine Han. Just tell me if you need anything."
Xiao Jinyu, "Thank you for your concern, Grandma Huang. I will do it."
When Xiao Jinyu returned to Qiancheng Palace, he went to Concubine Han's bedroom and found that she was awake.
"Ayan, when did you wake up? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
While talking, Xiao Jinyu had already come to sit down beside the bed, looking at her worriedly.
Concubine Han Ce had just woken up and didn't see Xiao Jinyu. She planned to sleep for a while, but she saw him coming back.
"I just woke up. I feel a little dizzy and want to eat." His voice was still very weak.
"I'll have someone bring the food right away." Xiao Jinyu said as he told Ping'er to prepare the food.
Ping'er had prepared the meal early in the morning, just waiting for Concubine Han to wake up and eat. Now she can just heat it up and eat it.
When the food was served, Xiao Jinyu wanted to feed her, but she said it was too troublesome, so he had to give up.
After eating, Han Cefei felt better. Xiao Jinyu took a wet handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth. His movements were gentle and delicate, for fear of hurting her.
"Want to go out in the sun?"
Concubine Han Ce nodded and said, "I haven't been in the sun for a few days."
Xiao Jinyu had someone move the rattan chair into the yard and cover it with a thick mink blanket. When he was sure that it was soft and not prickly, he picked up A-Yan and placed him on the chair.
The sunshine in the yard is warm and gentle, and it makes me feel lazy and warm when it shines on my body.
Princess Han closed her eyes and enjoyed the sunbath.
Xiao Jinyu stayed by her side all the time.
Late at night, Xiao Jinyu suddenly woke up from her sleep with a surprise. She opened her eyes and looked at the person in her arms in the dim light of the bedside. She saw that her eyes were tightly closed and there was no movement at all.
He supported himself on his elbows and reached out his hand to feel Concubine Han Ce's breath. Only when he was sure that she was still breathing did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Xiao Jinyu lay down and closed his eyes to continue sleeping. He noticed that the person in his arms moved. He opened his eyes and saw A Yan looking at him.
"What's wrong? Did I wake you up?"
"No, I woke up on my own."
Concubine Han Ce woke up a little earlier than Xiao Jinyu, but she didn't open her eyes until she noticed Xiao Jinyu's attempt to sniff her breath, and then she opened her eyes.
In fact, Xiao Jinyu has done this many times.
Ever since Concubine Han Ce became seriously ill, he would wake up from his dream every night, and then check her breath to make sure she was still breathing before he would feel at ease.
"Can't sleep now?" asked Xiao Jinyu.
Concubine Han Ce nodded, "I slept too much during the day, so I'm not that sleepy now."
"How about I chat with you for a while?"
"good."
"Ah Yan, it's all my fault. I didn't bring you along because I was afraid you'd suffer. As a result, it gave others the opportunity to harm you. If I had known earlier, I would have brought you along wherever I went."
"If she has the intention to harm others, it's useless to keep her around. Let this matter go and don't blame yourself anymore."
What I heard the most these days was Xiao Jinyu blaming himself. Even though it was clearly not his fault, he always felt that the fault was his.
Xiao Jinyu hugged her tightly and buried his face in her neck. "I won't tell you anything until you get better."
Han Cefei lowered her head to look at the furry head in her arms and reached out to hold his face. It had been a while since he came back and his skin had become white again.
She stared at those beautiful peach blossom eyes for a long time, then moved over and kissed his lips.
Xiao Jinyu was stunned for a moment. He had not thought about these things during the days when Ayan was ill. He had no mood to think about them.
Now that I'm being kissed, I immediately have that thought.
He responded meekly, not daring to go any further.
After kissing for a while, Xiao Jinyu pushed her away and said in a hoarse voice: "You are still sick, just bear with it and continue when you are better."
Concubine Han Ce just wanted to comfort the frightened Xiao Jinyu, but he misunderstood her.
"Um."
Xiao Jinyu stared at her for a while, then leaned over to her ear and said, "Ayan, when you get better, let's make a baby."
Concubine Han Ce was silent for a while and nodded.
Xiao Jinyu was extremely happy, "Our baby must be as cute as Susu Taotao."
Concubine Han did not comment.
Xiao Jinyu gradually felt sleepy.
Concubine Han suddenly opened her eyes and asked, "Why did you touch my nose just now?"
Xiao Jinyu replied subconsciously: "See if you are breathing."
Concubine Han: “…”

Feng Wuyou gave Ouyang Jingyuan acupuncture twice in the past few days, trying to improve his condition.
But it didn't have much effect, Ouyang Jingyuan was already very weak.
"Xiaojiu, I will be back in two days."
"So soon? Aren't you going to stay a few more days?"
People like Ouyang Jingyuan are actually not suitable for long journeys and long journeys.
So Feng Wuyou was a little worried.
"I've lived here for some time." Ouyang Jingyuan was actually reluctant to go back, but he couldn't keep disturbing her.
Feng Wuyou thought for a moment and said, "Brother Yuan, please wait a little longer. Can you leave after I prepare another prescription?"
She was afraid that after this separation, she would never have the chance to see him again.
This was in ancient times. Besides horse-drawn carriages, the only means of transportation was through letters. If anything happened, there would be no time to notify anyone.
How could Ouyang Jingyuan refuse Xiaojiu?
What's more, he was reluctant to do so.
"good."
Feng Wuyou flipped through medical books looking for a prescription.
Ouyang Leyi has been looking for opportunities to get close to Xiao Jinyan, but she found that Xiao Jinyan was really busy. He was either discussing matters in the meeting room or reviewing memorials in Yu's study.
Since the emperor fell ill, he began to delegate power. He saw the prince's ability and knew that he was the strongest among all the princes.
In fact, as early as when Xiao Jinyan was born, the emperor wanted to make him the crown prince, but because he was still very young at the time, he never took action.
Later, Yu'er was born, and he wanted to see which of the two brothers was more suitable to be the emperor.
When Yu'er grew up a little, he found that Yu'er's personality was not suitable for being the emperor, and Yan'er had to be the crown prince.
It's just that the situation was unstable at that time, and Daxia was not the most powerful country.
The Nanzhao Kingdom designated the prince born to the empress as a hostage.
At that time, Yu'er was young, so he decided to send Yan'er to Nanzhao Kingdom as a hostage.
Yan'er left for eight years and her personality changed drastically when she came back.
He decided not to appoint a crown prince for the time being, and did not express his opinion. He saw the brothers fighting, and he also realized that Yan'er had grown a lot.
He seemed to see himself when he was younger, acting steadily and competently, and killing decisively.
The position of crown prince has always been Yan'er's from the beginning to the end.
Xiao Jinyan didn't know all this. He thought his father, the emperor and his mother were afraid that he would take away his younger brother's position as crown prince.
The reason they think so is that they spoil their younger brother too much and give him everything he wants.
When he learned that he was going to Nanzhao as a hostage, he knew that his father, the emperor and his mother had given up on him.
When I first arrived in Nanzhao Kingdom, I was unfamiliar with the place and missed my father and mother terribly every night. I wanted them to come and take me back.
But day after day, year after year, he never saw his father and mother coming to pick him up.
After a long time, he stopped thinking about it.
He thought that his father, the emperor and his mother must have forgotten him.
When he was in Nanzhao Kingdom, there was a little girl who often came to see him. The little girl always smelled faintly of candy.
He was the only person in Nanzhao who always smiled at him.
Even after many years, Xiao Jinyan still remembers the little girl's smile, which was very sweet.
At night, when he was sleeping, she would sneak into his room to bring him food. When he found her, she would pretend to be sleepwalking and run out in a hurry.
Her pockets are like a treasure chest, filled with countless food and toys.
"Brother Jinyan, this is for you."
It is a piece of natural jade, priceless.
He had only recently learned about this, that she had painted on it with a broken moon.
Xiao Jinyan woke up from a nap and found that he had dreamed about his childhood, including Xiaojiu.
After returning to the East Palace, he went to the Hehuan Palace first. When he opened the curtain, he saw Xiaojiu lying on the couch with a medical book in her hand. Normally, she would be taking a nap at this time.
He walked over and said, "Xiaojiu."
Feng Wuyou was so absorbed in watching that she was not there when Xiao Jinyan came in. She looked up in surprise, "Didn't His Highness say that he would be very busy today? Why is he back?"
Xiao Jinyan looked at her steadily and said, "I'll come back to see you."
Feng Wuyou was a little confused, "Don't we see each other every day?"
She wanted to say that Xiao Jinyan is not a clingy person~
"So what if we see each other every day? I can see you whenever I want." I will feel at ease after seeing you.
Feng Wuyou blinked his beautiful eyes twice, "Your Highness, what you said makes sense."
Xiao Jinyan didn't stay long before he went to work.
It took Feng Wuyou three days to develop a new formula.
Combined with spiritual spring water, it can prolong life.
One more year of life is one more year of life. Who knows, she might find a better way in the future.
When Ouyang Leyi learned that she had to go back, she started to get angry.
"Brother, why can't you stay a little longer? I haven't had enough fun yet."
Ouyang Jingyuan knew what his sister was thinking, and said in a stern tone: "You've lived here for half a month, how long do you want to stay?"
Ouyang Leyi was a little dissatisfied, but finally said nothing.
It was a sunny day when Ouyang Jingyuan left.
Ouyang Jingyuan said gently: "I came here in a hurry this time. Next time I come, I will bring you some delicious food."
Feng Wuyou nodded and said, "Then I will wait for Brother Yuan to bring me some delicious food in Daxia."
Ouyang Jingyuan seemed to have thought of something, "Didn't Ye Suhan come to Daxia? Why didn't I see him?"
Feng Wuyou said, "Third brother did come, but I haven't seen him for a long time. He didn't say a word when he left."
Ouyang Jingyuan was a little confused. "It's just like his personality. If he leaves, he won't leave without telling you."
Feng Wuyou also knew that his third brother would not be like this, but he just felt something was wrong.
She couldn't tell what was wrong.
Ouyang Jingyuan knew that Xiaojiu was worried about Ye Suhan, so he comforted her, "Xiaojiu, don't worry. Ye Suhan might have something to do, or he might have gone to see his master."
Feng Wuyou was a little confused. Why did his third brother go to see his father?
Ouyang Jingyuan stared at Xiaojiu for a long time before turning around and getting on the carriage.
Ouyang Leyi got on the carriage reluctantly. As soon as he got on, he couldn't help complaining, "Brother, if you like her, why don't you snatch her away? I like Xiao Jinyan, isn't that just right? As long as I can trap them, they can break up no matter how much they love each other."
Ouyang Jingyuan's face darkened. "Xiao Jiu and Xiao Jinyan are husband and wife, and they love each other. You can think of using a cricket to separate them. Don't say you are my sister when you go out. I am ashamed."
Ouyang Le turned his head away angrily and ignored him.
Lu Zhaoyan would come to the East Palace to hang out whenever he had nothing to do, but he actually wanted to find Wei Chi to clarify the misunderstanding.
However, I didn't see Wei Chi after coming here several times. Instead, Xiao Jinyan assigned me tasks.
He discovered that Wei Chi was deliberately avoiding him.
Lu Zhaoyan couldn't help but wonder, that night...did he talk nonsense after drinking?
Scared Wei Chi?
Qin Xiao came to Wei Chi and asked, "Lord Lu has come to see you several times. Why are you hiding from him?"
Wei Chi looked at Lu Zhaoyan who had already walked away and replied, "You don't understand."
"I don't understand what's going on in your mind, so just keep hiding."
Qin Xiao was about to leave when Wei Chi stopped him and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Go find my wife. She said she made soup for me today." Qin Xiao said and left without looking back.
The sudden dog food filled Wei Chi's mouth and face. "It's just that I have a wife..."
After a few days of recuperation, Concubine Han Ceng recovered well and was able to get out of bed and move around.
However, Xiao Jinyu was always worried and kept reminding her to slow down.
"I'm fine now."
Xiao Jinyu nodded, "Then you should also be careful."
Concubine Han: "·······"
The Queen also learned that Concubine Han was ill, so she brought some supplements to visit her, and saw the two people in the yard.
"The Queen has arrived."
Following the eunuch's loud shout, Xiao Jinyu and Concubine Han stepped forward to greet her: "May your Majesty be blessed with good health and longevity."
The queen said gently, "Get up."
Xiao Jinyu helped Concubine Han to stand up.
The Queen took a few looks at Concubine Han Ce and saw that she did not look well and had lost a lot of weight.
"This is specially selected by me. You have just recovered from a serious illness, so you need to take good care of yourself."
Concubine Han bowed and said, "Thank you, Her Majesty, for your grace."
The queen looked at her frail appearance and said, "Don't stand there. Sit down and talk."
Xiao Jinyu helped her to sit down on the chair.
The queen sat down on the couch, looked at her son, and said with a smile: "Yu'er, your birthday is coming soon, what gift do you want?"
Of course, Xiao Jinyu wanted a gift, but he had something important to ask.
"Mother, don't you remember the Crown Prince's birthday?"
