Chapter 186 Chapter 186 Princess Yuanan
After looking at the person on the bed, Yu Li turned to look at Fu Wenxiao.
Sure enough, his face showed those deeply suppressed emotions again, which was a little difficult to understand, but it could be felt that he was not feeling well.
Yu Li moved closer to him and said, "Xiao brother, your mother looks alike."
Even when he's sick, he's still good-looking.
Fu Wenxiao's expression paused.
Nanny Ru was sitting close by and happened to hear her words. She said subconsciously, "The prince does look more like the princess. Only his eyes look like the Duke..."
Having said this, she suddenly shuddered, stared at them with wide eyes, her face full of disbelief.
Yuzhu, who followed in, was not surprised to see Madam Ru like this. She said happily: "Madam, the prince is back." When she said this, her eyes turned red.
"Is it really the prince?" Nanny Ru stared at Fu Wenxiao, still unable to believe it.
"Of course it's the prince." Yuzhu said affirmatively, "Mammy, the prince is really back."
Nanny Ru opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but tears welled up in her eyes first.
She quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief and let her tears flow silently, suppressing her tears and not crying out loud, for fear that people outside would hear the noise.
Yuzhu knew that Nanny Ru was crying for joy, so she patted her hands.
Fu Wenxiao turned his gaze to them and suddenly asked, "Madam Ru, how is mother's health?"
Ru Ma wiped the tears from her face and said, "The princess is not in good health. After you left, she fell seriously ill and has been bedridden ever since..." At this point, she showed a strong hatred on her face, "Later, it was found that someone had been poisoning her food, causing her health to deteriorate little by little..."
Yuzhu could not hide the hatred on her face.
She then said, "The incident happened suddenly that year, and we were not prepared. We didn't expect that His Highness would be tricked... and we couldn't find out anything afterwards."
At the end of her speech, her expression was gloomy.
Fu Wenxiao was not surprised and asked, "When will mother wake up?"
Seeing his mother lying lifeless on the bed, he felt really bad.
"It should be tomorrow morning." Madam Ru sighed, "The weather has been bad recently. When winter came, the princess fell seriously ill and her health has not improved. She sleeps for a long time every day..."
After saying this, Nanny Ru and Yuzhu couldn't help but look at him in surprise.
The two finally felt that Fu Wenxiao's arrival was real, and they were extremely happy at the moment.
Since the prince appears here, it proves that his body... should be completely healed, and he will not die!
Nanny Ru asked happily: "My Lord, how did you get here? By the way, who is this girl..."
Seeing the prince suddenly appear, I was happy but also a little puzzled. I also wondered who the girl with the prince was. They were too intimate and it was obvious at a glance that their relationship was not ordinary.
Fu Wenxiao showed a shallow and gentle smile on his face and introduced again, "Madame Ru, this is my wife Yu Li." Then he introduced Madame Ru to Yu Li.
Yu Li called out "Madame Ru".
Then Fu Wenxiao said, "It was Li Niang who brought me here."
Before Nanny Ru could react to the fact that the Crown Prince had already married, she learned that the Crown Prince was brought here by his wife.
She was completely confused and didn't know how the Crown Prince's wife brought the Crown Prince here. Could it be that the Crown Prince's wife had an unusual status and could have asked the guards outside to let them come over?
It doesn’t seem right. If that were the case, why would it be so quiet outside?
Yuzhu understood what the prince meant. She saw clearly how they came in.
She and Nanny Ru were on guard tonight. She had always been alert and noticed the movement in the outer hall. Although she knew that there were many guards guarding outside the Qingxiao Hall and she was afraid that not even a fly could fly in, she was still a little worried and went out to check.
But when I looked up, I saw a hole in the roof and a girl fell out of the hole.
Before she could react, she saw the prince falling from the sky, and was hugged by the girl, who held his waist and put him on the ground.
Thinking of that scene, Yuzhu felt very upset.
Yuzhu couldn't help but look at the prince's wife who was standing there quietly, and she keenly noticed that her clothes were wet.
Not only her, but even the prince's clothes were dripping with water.
She was a little anxious, "Prince, Madam, your clothes are wet."
Nanny Ru said hurriedly, "Yuzhu, go get some clean clothes. Don't let them get sick."
Yuzhu ran out in a hurry, losing her usual calmness.
No one cared about this at the moment, for fear that the two would get sick. After all, the weather was too cold, and the alternation between cold and hot would make it easy to get sick.
Fu Wenxiao comforted her, "Madam Ru, it's okay."
They had been walking in the wind and snow, with only a cloak to barely protect them. Although they had brushed off the snow on their bodies when they came in, there were still some fine snow particles that had not been cleaned off.
Especially since there was a floor heater in the hall, the temperature was high and the snow particles melted, and the clothes on the body also got wet.
Madam Ru said, "How can it not be a problem? It's not good to be sick."
She was also a little impatient and wanted to go out immediately, "Prince, Madam, please sit down first. I will go and get you some hot water to warm your bodies."
The two of them went out like this, obviously very concerned about Fu Wenxiao's health.
Yu Li glanced in the direction of the door and then took off the deerskin gloves on his hands.
These deerskin gloves were prepared by Zhou for her to wear to keep warm.
After taking off her gloves, she rubbed her hands again to warm them up, then lifted the quilt and placed her hand on the thin wrist of the woman on the bed.
Her series of actions were very fast. Fu Wenxiao's eyebrows twitched slightly and he called out, "A-Li."
Yu Li glanced at him and whispered, "Your mother's health is better than yours, but not too good either."
She had already made plans before coming here. She must treat the princess mother-in-law and not make the other mother-in-law sad.
Fu Wenxiao looked at her silently.
When she took her hand back, he found that her face had turned pale. His heart was lifted up, and he quickly supported her, "Ali, how are you?"
"It's okay." Yu Li said, "I'm just a little overdrawn."
Fu Wenxiao's expression changed, and he said in a slightly harsh voice, "Why do you have to do this..."
He knew that if the situation was really critical, she would rather overdraw her supernatural powers to save people, just like Yu Zhu at the beginning, and the pregnant woman who fell in the county town, and those people she had saved in places he couldn't see.
But her mother's condition doesn't require her to do so. She can just do it slowly like she did when she treated herself, and spend a year or two on it, so as not to harm her body.
He knew that this was her nature. As long as she identified someone, she would bring them into her circle of protection.
It was impossible to leave her to die without helping.
She would be willing to save even a stranger, let alone his mother.
Yu Li said indifferently: "I just checked it out. With her current body, she should be able to hold on for another two years, which is longer than you could have held on before. But if mother saw your mother like this, she would definitely feel uncomfortable. It's better to let your mother get better quickly."
At worst, she could just eat more and recover her powers quickly.
Fu Wenxiao: "..."
Fu Wenxiao could easily distinguish the two "mothers" in her mouth.
It seems that even if there is a proper mother-in-law around, she will still recognize Zhou as her "mother". In her heart, no one can shake Zhou's position. Even at this time, she thinks about not making her sad.
It really is…
Finally, Fu Wenxiao helped her sit on an embroidered cushion in front of the bed and said, "Ali, thank you."
"You're welcome." Yu Li said indifferently, "If your mother gets better, she will be happy too." Suddenly, she said, "Hey, she's waking up."
Fu Wenxiao subconsciously looked towards the bed.
Under the gaze of the two men, the woman on the bed slowly opened her eyes.
When she just woke up, she looked a little confused, until she saw the two people in front of the bed clearly, the confusion in her eyes quickly faded away, and her eyes became clear.
She stared at Fu Wenxiao closely and said weakly, "Xiao'er?"
Fu Wenxiao bent down slightly, moved closer to her, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Mother, it's me, I'm back."
Princess Yuan An looked at him intently and stretched out her hand. Fu Wenxiao took off his gloves and held her hand.
The hand was so cold that Princess Yuanan shivered.
It was this cold temperature that finally gave her a sense of reality.
"Really Xiao'er?"
Princess Yuan'an couldn't help but sit up. Fu Wenxiao hurriedly supported her and placed a plain brocade pillow behind her waist to make her sit more comfortably.
During this time, Princess Yuan'an kept staring at him, as if to confirm whether he was real.
Just then, Aunt Ru and Yuzhu came back.
When they saw Princess Yuanan who had woken up in bed, they were surprised.
"Your Highness, you are awake!"
"Your Highness, are you feeling unwell? Do you want to ask the imperial physician to come over?"
Princess Yuan An remained silent. She noticed Yu Li sitting in front of the bed.
Suddenly seeing a strange face made her a little confused. She didn't know who this girl was and why she was here.
In an instant, she thought that it must have been brought by her son.
Seeing her looking at him, Yu Li smiled at her.
This smile was the same as the one she usually gave Zhou, and she looked very well-behaved. In addition, she was pretty and fair-skinned. Even the dim light could not hide her glowing white face. She had delicate features and eyebrows. At first glance, she was a girl who made people think she was very well-behaved and peaceful.
When Princess Yuan'an saw Nanny Ru and Yuzhu coming over with clean clothes and a kettle, she understood.
She said weakly: "Xiao'er, go change your clothes first, don't get sick."
Fu Wenxiao wanted to say something but held back, pulled Yu Li up, and said to Yuzhu, "Sorry to bother you, Aunt Yuzhu."
"No trouble, no trouble!" Yuzhu said with a smile, "Prince, Madam, please follow me."
The two followed Yuzhu out.
Princess Yuanan on the bed was stunned for a moment, thinking she had heard wrongly.
The Crown Prince's wife? That's her daughter-in-law?
Nanny Ru put the kettle she brought back on the table next to her, her face full of joy.
She poured a cup of warm water for Princess Yuan An to drink, and said, "Your Highness, how are you? Why did you wake up suddenly? Is it because the prince came back? We thought you would sleep until tomorrow morning. It's true that mother and son are connected by heart..."
Princess Yuan An was also happy about her son's arrival, but she was more puzzled and asked, "Mammy, why is Xiao'er here?"
Madam Ru said, "I don't know either. From what the prince said, it was his wife who brought him here..."
When she said this, a subtle expression appeared on her face.
Princess Yuan An saw this and asked, "What's wrong?"
Madam Ru said, "Your Highness, there is a big hole in the roof of the outer hall. I heard from Yuzhu that the hole was made by the prince and his men. They came in from that side."
"What?"
Princess Yuanan thought she had heard it wrong and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
"It's true!" said Madam Ru. "When I went out just now, I found that the temperature of the outer hall was not right. Later, I saw a big hole in the roof. I went to check it out. The hole didn't look like it was collapsed by snow. It must have been made by humans."
The Xijiao Palace is not the kind of palace that has fallen into disrepair over the years, so there is naturally no possibility of the roof collapsing under the weight of snow.
In today's weather, I'm afraid the tiles on the roof will be frozen solid. I don't know how they managed to pry a hole in the room without attracting the attention of the guards from Qingxiao Palace.
Upon hearing this, Princess Yuanan was about to stand up.
"Your Highness, what are you going to do?" Nanny Ru hurried to help her.
Princess Yuan An said, "I'll go take a look."
"this……"
Nanny Ru had no way to refuse, so she had to add more clothes to her and then helped her out.
**
On the other side, Fu Wenxiao and Yu Li were taken to an ear room by Yuzhu.
Yuzhu said, "My Lord, Madam, clean clothes and hot water have been prepared inside. You can wash up inside. If you need anything, just call me."
Fu Wenxiao said: "Thank you, Aunt Yuzhu."
Yu Li also followed suit and said thank you.
Yuzhu was a thoughtful person. She noticed that Yu Li's face was a little pale and asked, "Madam, are you feeling unwell?" It seemed that her face looked quite normal when she was in the outer hall before.
Yu Li said: "No, I'm just a little hungry."
"Are you hungry?" Yuzhu said immediately after hearing this, "I will ask the kitchen to prepare some food."
Yu Li was very happy to hear that.
At this time, Fu Wenxiao added: "Ask the kitchen to make some more."
Yuzhu didn't think much about it, thinking that the prince was also hungry, so she agreed with a smile.
After Yuzhu left, Fu Wenxiao touched Yu Li's face and asked, "Mother Li, how do you feel? Are you really not feeling unwell?"
This time she overdrew her abilities again, and he was really worried.
Yu Li touched her stomach and said, "Except for being hungry, everything is fine." In fact, the superpowers she overdrawn were not much, at least not as much as the ones she used to save Yu Zhu and the pregnant woman who fell, so she didn't feel too uncomfortable.
Fu Wenxiao hugged her and said, "Just bear with it for a while."
Seeing that he looked unhappy and didn't even smile, Yu Li cleverly changed the subject, "Will people get suspicious if we ask the kitchen to send food over?"
She did not forget the guards surrounding Qingxiao Palace.
"No!" He said calmly, "After all, my mother is the eldest princess of the previous emperor. Even if she is down and out, no one dares to be harsh on her food, clothing, housing and transportation. It's okay to ask the kitchen to make some food for her. No one will come in to investigate anything."
Hearing this, Yu Li said nothing more.
They both quickly changed into clean clothes.
Yu Li glanced at Fu Wenxiao and found that the clothes he was wearing were not only brand new, but also very close-fitting. It was possible that they were specially made for him.
"It should be made by the embroiderer in the palace." Fu Wenxiao said, "Although I am not here, my mother must miss me very much and have someone make clothes for me."
He was not surprised by this kind of thing.
Yu Li suddenly realized and said, "It seems that your mother loves you very much." Even when the person is not around, he still asks the embroiderer to make clothes for him. I guess it's because he wants to keep her in mind.
Judging from the reactions of those people, they all knew his physical condition at the time and probably thought that he would not live long.
"Yeah..." Fu Wenxiao looked a little dazed.
The two returned to the inner hall.
Nanny Ru and Yuzhu were both there. Princess Yuanan was sitting on the couch drinking medicine. She was wrapped tightly in thick clothes.
The air was filled with a strong smell of medicine.
Yu Li was very familiar with this smell of medicine. When she was at the Fu family, the house was often filled with this smell of medicine, which left a deep impression on her.
For a moment, she looked at Princess Yuanan with some sympathy.
Especially when he saw her drinking the medicine without frowning, and just like Fu Wenxiao, she drank the bitter medicine as if it were water, he admired her even more.
Although Princess Yuan'an was taking medicine, she was actually paying attention to these two people.
She had already learned from Aunt Ru that this girl named Yu Li was her daughter-in-law, and it was she who brought her son in... She couldn't help but pay more attention to her.
Seeing the undisguised sympathy on her face, Princess Yuanan paused holding the medicine bowl.
Although I don't know what kind of personality this girl has, she looks quite innocent and her thoughts are all reflected on her face.
Very easy to understand.
Yu Li and Fu Wenxiao sat down, Yuzhu poured them some water, and there were cakes in a box on the table.
Yuzhu said softly, "My Lord, Madam, please eat some cakes to fill your stomach first."
Fu Wenxiao handed a piece of cake to Yu Li and reminded her, "Mother Li, eat slowly."
She hummed, she was really hungry, and started eating with big mouthfuls, finishing several pieces quickly.
Fu Wenxiao kept looking at her, took the opportunity to feed her water, and said, "Drink some water first, so you don't choke."
The two of them acted as if no one was around, which made everyone in the hall a little stunned.
Nanny Ru and Yuzhu were both extremely surprised to see that the prince actually took care of a girl's food. This was something they had never dared to imagine before.
Moreover, the prince did it so naturally, he must have done it many times before. Looking at the look on his face, gentle and patient, you can tell that he was willing to do it.
After not seeing him for a few years, the prince seems to have changed a lot.
If he wasn't the same person, no one would be able to recognize him now because of his current appearance.
Princess Yuanan watched this scene silently without saying anything. She put down the medicine bowl and wiped the medicine from the corner of her lips with a handkerchief.
Every move exudes elegance and composure.
It seemed as if the physical illness and pain had not affected her at all.
