Since she didn't mention that she had come to see me while I was unconscious, I decided not to expose her.
"The doctor said I've fully recovered. I even went out for walks these past few days, and there's nothing seriously wrong with me."
"That's good."
I was going to ask her why she came out of the palace this time, but she told me first.
"Ying'er, the Crown Prince has returned to the palace. The Emperor has ordered me to bring you back. Although the Crown Prince is reckless, he is, after all, the heir apparent. For the sake of the royal family's reputation, you will have to endure some hardship and grievances."
Great! I was just looking for a reason to blackmail Xie Yuancheng, and now the opportunity has come.
"good."
"No."
Why is Xie Yuancheng back? Wasn't he out on business?
"The Marquis of Anle has also come to visit?"
Oh no, Consort Ji looked furious. It seemed she still harbored resentment towards Xie Yuancheng. The two of them were quite eloquent, and I happened to be sitting next to them listening to their argument.
"Your Majesty, bringing the Prince Consort back to the palace now might not be good for her recovery."
No way, I'm already better. I was just thinking of going back to the palace to meet those two bastards.
"Does the Marquis not trust me?"
"I wouldn't dare."
"Then there's no need to stop them. The princess is pregnant now, and although the prince consort has just recovered from a serious illness, it won't affect his relationship with the princess."
I understand. Consort Ji is trying to use the princess's unborn child to blackmail Xie Yuancheng into breaking up with me. Sigh, she was just holding her grandson, and now she's going to separate the child's parents.
"Your Majesty, you are unaware that Ying'er is not yet well. If she rashly enters the palace, and the Crown Prince, filled with resentment, poisons her again, Ying'er will not be able to return."
Listen to your nonsense. How could I be so weak? I always think about Li Ruowei's situation when I'm at home. Now that the Crown Prince has returned, wouldn't it be tragic if she had no one to help and take care of her?
Xie Yuancheng suddenly walked over, and as soon as he got close, I felt dizzy. What did he put in that made me feel like I was back to before I was seriously ill?
When I woke up, Yu'er was sitting next to me, sucking his fingers and smiling at me in a cute way. I was about to raise my hand to pull his chubby little hand when he grabbed it.
"Ying'er, you need to rest well and don't overwork yourself."
Xie Yuancheng's handsome face moved closer, and I really wanted to slap him to death.
Mother reached out and hugged Yu'er. "Your Highness has already gone back. Ying'er, you're always running around. The doctor came to check on you just now and said that your bones haven't healed properly and there's a possibility that they might break again. You should rest and recuperate at home for now."
I was filled with hatred. It must have been Xie Yuancheng who pulled some trick. I was about to return to the palace, but now I can only continue to lie paralyzed in bed.
"Wah wah." Yu'er waved his little hand and smiled at me, and my good son just disappeared from my sight.
"Ying'er, you rest first. I'll be back to keep you company in a little while." I don't need you to keep me company, you scheming lord.
No one could hear the cries in my heart, and slowly I fell asleep.
I don't know how much time passed, but I heard some noisy sounds and slowly woke up again.
"You're finally awake. I heard from Consort Ji in the palace that you were seriously ill again. Fortunately, Mother Consort has been in a good mood these past few days and has granted me permission to leave the palace to see you."
It was Li Zhaole's voice. I looked in the direction she was looking, and it really was her. You could see her belly now, and she had gained some weight.
"You've come." My voice is weak and feeble now; even a god couldn't speak for me.
"Stop talking. You're so sick, you should save your breath and rest." She was alone in the room. She walked around the room and said, "It's not bad. It's a place for a person to be alone. It's much better than Heqing Palace."
Cuiyun brought a stool in from outside and then hurriedly went out again.
"Brother Yuancheng is in the capital. Has he come to see you?" Yes, he has been here every day since the accident. He's the one who caused my half-dead state.
"have."
"That's good. Although he has a child, he's still very good to you. Anyway, you're both from the Ji family. When we get divorced, you can take back the position of the Marquis's principal wife."
Li Zhaole's words were so innocent; they made me laugh.
"I'm telling the truth. The Crown Prince has just returned, so we can't divide the child yet. I'll be able to request permission after I give birth." Li Zhaole's eyes were filled with anticipation. She had changed completely since becoming pregnant.
No rush.
I also want to go to the palace to settle accounts with them, even if it's just to rescue Li Ruowei.
“There’s no rush. He came to Heqing Palace as soon as he got back, and I’m a little worried. I thought you would return to the palace with Consort Ji, but I didn’t expect you to fall seriously ill again. You’re really so frail.”
"I'm sorry." The more I looked at her face, the blurrier it became, and finally I fell asleep.
When I opened my eyes again, the room was empty. I could move my hands and my mind was clear, but my body felt heavy and I couldn't move.
I heard the door open, the footsteps were very light, it must be Xie Yuancheng returning.
But when that face appeared, I was almost startled. How could it be Ling Wu?
"sister in law."
He shouldn't be here now. If Xie Yuancheng sees him, that stingy man might cause a death if he finds out he's a woman.
I turned my eyes to look at him; he couldn't even speak now.
“When the princess went back, she said you were quite ill. I asked Anshi, but he hesitated and wouldn’t say, so I came by myself.”
He was Xie Yuancheng's childhood sweetheart and follower, and was on his side, so he definitely wouldn't say anything.
"I'm relieved to see that you look alright. This is a calming pill my father gave me. I'll keep it by your bedside so you can feel a little better."
I winked at him to express my gratitude.
"I'm leaving."
They all come and go in a hurry. Will I be left without anyone to talk to in the future? Even if Xie Yuancheng is handsome enough to bring ruin to the country and is deeply devoted, he still needs to talk to someone sometimes.
A fresh scent wafted from under my pillow, and my previously chaotic mind slowly cleared. Where on earth did that stingy Xie Yuancheng go? He didn't even come to give me the antidote.
Once I understand these things, I'll prescribe medicine for him so he can stay in bed while I go out to do my work.
The door opened again; it must have been a young woman, as she walked very quietly.
"Young Master." It was Wan'er. Finally, someone I could trust had come.
No, shouldn't she be in Linyang? Why is she at the Ji residence?
"Waaah, young master, you've suffered so much." Don't start crying as soon as you arrive. I can't even turn my head right now; I can only keep my eyes open.
"Wan'er, don't be sad now that you've just arrived. Ying'er needs to rest. Come out with me first." When did Mother appear? She's now on Xie Yuancheng's side, making me suffer here.
I heard voices outside; it was the maids laughing and talking, trying to make Yu'er laugh again. Their voices were so sweet and soft, they melted my heart. I so regretted meeting Consort Ji. I'd rather sit here like an idiot all day than lie paralyzed in bed.
