"Xiao Shunzi!"
She summoned the chief eunuch beside her and ordered him to follow Gao Wuyong and interrogate each of the people who had been imprisoned.
"Remember, tell the truth. If you utter even a single word of trickery or deception, then the Fourth Prince's temper is beyond reproach."
"This servant understands!"
The next day, after regaining some strength, Li woke up and immediately asked about the child.
"Don't worry, Consort, the little prince is doing well. The wet nurse is feeding him milk."
