It's because he didn't get enough rest. There's a good medicine for regulating the heart and pulse in the palace. I'll make some for the prince and have someone feed it to him later."
Murong Qingyu nodded. "As long as His Highness is alright, it's fine. Xiao'er, the Crown Prince fainted so suddenly that it wouldn't be right for him to sleep in the guest room. Your room is reserved for you, so why not let the Crown Prince rest in your boudoir?"
"Everything is up to Daddy's orders."
So, the group carried Qian Yeming into Yunwu Pavilion, and he was personally guarded by the guards of the Prince's Mansion.
After settling Qian Yeming down, Murong Qingyu called Murong Xiao out on the pretext of having something to tell her.
"Xiao'er, how have you been these past few days in the Prince's Mansion?"
"Follow Father's instructions. Xiao'er is very good to the prince. The prince...at least on the surface, he is good to Xiao'er."
"What does the prince usually do in the prince's residence?"
"I attend court in the morning, then return to the study. I take a nap at noon until quite late in the afternoon. Every time I get up, my face looks ashen and pale, and my body feels a little hot. It gets better after half an hour. Then I stay in the study or stretch my muscles in the courtyard, and then have dinner. After dinner, I return to the study and can only truly fall asleep around midnight."
"Do you know what he usually does in his study? Has anyone else entered the study?"
Murong Xiao thought for a moment and said, "I can't always be with him in his study, but I said when I came to the mansion that I would prepare his meals myself, so every afternoon tea and midnight snack, as well as getting him medicine during the meal, are all taken care of by me. At least every time I go to his study, he is alone reading books or memorials. Sometimes when he has some free time, he reads and writes travel notes. No one goes to his study."
Murong Qingyu nodded with satisfaction. "How did you deal with the assassin you encountered on your wedding night? Did you find any clues?"
"Since Xi Niang is dead, we can only hide her. However, we discovered that Xi Niang's underwear was made of flowing cloud brocade."
"Liuyunjin?" Murong Qingyu frowned: "Why does it sound so familiar?"
"The emperor gave it to General Chai Jing some time ago."
"Qian Yeyao?" Murong Qingyu frowned, then shook his head and said, "No, it shouldn't be him. He's not that stupid."
"Daddy also thinks it's not him? Xiao'er thinks so too. This Liuyun brocade is the only one in all of Nanyue. Letting Xiniang wear Liuyun brocade to assassinate someone, what's the difference between that and using the swords of Prince Li's palace to assassinate someone?"
"So you were in the Imperial Garden that day just to disgust Qian Yeyao?" Murong Qingyu asked with a smile.
"That's right. Xi Niang is dead anyway, but Liu Yunjin can't find out the reason. And Xiao'er also thinks Qian Yeyao is not that stupid. He must have been used by someone with ulterior motives.
Xiao Er saw that Qian Yeyao, Qian Yechen, and Qian Yeli had joined forces to attack the prince, so she tried to divert the blame, making Qian Yeyao suspect Qian Yechen and Qian Yeli.
Murong Qingyu sneered: "Humph, it seems that the battle for the crown prince position is getting more intense."
Murong Xiao nodded, "Yes. The marriage between the Marshal's Mansion and the Crown Prince has caused unrest among all parties. Furthermore, the Crown Prince is in very poor health. If anything were to happen to him, the position of Crown Prince would undoubtedly change hands, and the situation would become even more troublesome."
"Father understands. You are skilled in martial arts, so be careful in the Prince's Mansion. Although there are many masters in the Prince's Mansion, there is no guarantee that you will encounter a powerful killer.
