Mei Lanyi only agreed to marry him because she wanted to go to Xiteng with him. If he suddenly stops her from going and marries her, wouldn't that be marriage fraud?
He was extremely careful in dealing with Mei Lanyi, and cherished this relationship immensely. Naturally, he didn't want to become the one who only lied to her.
"Brother, to be honest, she was willing to marry me mostly because she could come with me to Xiteng. I've already promised her, so you can't let me become a person who goes back on their word!"
"She's always wanted to go out and see the world, and I promised to take her with me. Your Majesty, this is a marriage I've worked so hard to arrange, you can't ruin it for me, Your Majesty!"
As Prince Jing spoke, he sat down on the ground again, acting like a rogue.
emperor:……
So this guy really has a problem. He makes a scene when we let him go, and he still makes a scene when we don't let him go!
Furthermore, logically speaking, Mei Lanyi should be the type to stay at home and not leave the house. Why would she want to go out with Lao Liu? Could it be that Lao Liu is just making things up?
But why would Lao Liu talk such nonsense?
The emperor felt his head was spinning.
He rubbed his temples, looking somewhat weary, and said, "You should go back first. I need to think about this carefully."
Prince Jing wanted to say a few more words, but seeing that the emperor's face had darkened, he stopped making a fuss, obediently acknowledged the emperor's words, and withdrew.
The emperor sighed again, summoned his guards, and ordered, "Go find Mei Lanyi and the Imperial Academy Master Mei and ask them what happened."
"yes."
Only after sitting in this position did I realize that being an emperor is difficult. You have to weigh all the factors and drawbacks and try to prevent things from getting out of control.
Jiang Jiuniang had no idea that Prince Jing had experienced great joy and sorrow in that single day, nor did she know that the emperor's head was throbbing with pain because Xiangxiang had a fever that kept recurring throughout the night. She stayed by the bedside without stopping, worried that the child would be brainwashed by the fever.
Mrs. Sun and Old Man Lu stood by, feeling very guilty. They had taken good care of the child, keeping him dry and protected from the wind, and dressed him warmly even though it was cold. But the child still got sick, his face was burning red, and he was completely unconscious. The two elders felt that they hadn't taken good care of the child, which was why he was in this state.
Seeing Sun secretly wiping away tears, Jiang Jiuniang quickly hugged her and comforted her: "It's normal for children to get sick. It's not your fault, and besides, I'm here for you. Xiangxiang will definitely be fine. Her temperature has been brought under control, and she'll recover soon. You should go back and rest. You must be tired from taking care of Xiangxiang all this time."
Jiang Jiuniang didn't blame them at all. In fact, she felt sorry for them seeing them so remorseful. She knew how carefully the two elders took care of the child, and Xiangxiang also liked being with her grandparents. As for why she got sick, she guessed it wasn't as simple as just catching a cold.
Sun's voice was choked with sobs: "How can we sleep with such a high fever? She was perfectly fine before dinner, and then suddenly she's like this... I've been holding her in my arms the whole time, making sure she wasn't cold, how could she get so sick, sob sob sob..."
As Sun spoke, she became increasingly distressed and even started to cry. Seeing this, Old Man Lu quickly came over to pull her away and advised, "Alright, alright, the child is still sick. What's the use of crying? Let's go back first and stop disturbing the child."
Old Man Lu was worried that her emotions would affect Jiang Jiuniang, so he quickly took her away before Jiang Jiuniang could speak.
Jiang Jiuniang sighed softly, sat back down by the bed, and looking at her daughter's flushed face, she made a decision.
"Prepare the bath water. No need to boil it, cold water is fine."
The maids thought they were hallucinating. In such cold weather, why would the mistress prepare a cold bath?
Is this a plan to get sick together with the young lady?
"lady……"
"I'm useful. You can go back and rest after you've prepared everything."
The maidservant didn't say much and left with some worry.
Given Jiang Jiuniang's medical skills and the abundance of antipyretics in her space, Xiangxiang's high fever shouldn't have persisted indefinitely. Therefore, she suspected that Xiangxiang's fever wasn't a common cold, but rather that some kind of supernatural power was causing her to fall into a coma.
Therefore, it is necessary for her to go into the water and move around now.
She researched that technology, but she hadn't personally tested it and was only 80% confident in its effectiveness.
She took a deep breath. Lu Baichuan was in the military camp, so she didn't send anyone to call him, lest he worry and run back and forth again.
So now she has to make the decision herself.
She was more anxious than anyone else about her child's high fever, but she was also the one who couldn't afford to panic.
In the end, she still carried Xiangxiang into the bathtub and carefully watched the changes in Xiangxiang.
The little girl, whose body was flushed red from the fever, didn't react much in the water. Jiang Jiuniang almost thought she had guessed wrong and was about to wrap Xiangxiang up when she saw the blush on Xiangxiang's body gradually begin to fade.
It really works!
Jiang Jiuniang couldn't help but burst into tears; heaven knows how scared she had just been.
If I misjudge the situation, it will definitely worsen Xiangxiang's condition. She is so young, and if it gets any more serious, her life will be in danger.
Fortunately, her gamble paid off, and Xiangxiang's condition began to improve.
She clasped her hands together in prayer, thanking all the gods and Buddhas for their protection.
After a while, Xiangxiang, who had been unconscious, began to show signs of waking up. Her body began to move in the water, and then she slowly opened her eyes, smiled sweetly at Jiang Jiuniang, and called out, "Mother!"
Jiang Jiuniang nodded with tears in her eyes, her voice exceptionally gentle: "Mother is here, Xiangxiang, don't be afraid, Mother will always be with you."
When Lu Baichuan rushed over, he saw his wife and daughter playing in the water, and his tightly clenched heart was instantly relieved.
Seeing that he hadn't even had time to change out of his armor, and was covered in sand and looking disheveled, Jiang Jiuniang knew that he had rushed back as soon as he heard the news. She couldn't help but feel sorry for him. He had only gone to the military camp from the palace a short while ago, and now he had rushed here again. He probably hadn't even had time to eat.
"Are you hungry? I'll have someone prepare some food for you. You should also change your clothes so you don't get them on Xiangxiang."
She immediately changed the subject, clearly unwilling to discuss these matters in front of Xiangxiang. Lu Baichuan understood and said, "I'll go by myself. You stay with our daughter."
Jiang Jiuniang nodded, played with Xiangxiang for a while longer, and only went out to see Lu Baichuan after she had put the child to sleep.
Did your parents send you?
She didn't send anyone to inform Lu Baichuan, since only the two elders knew about it, so it could only be them.
Lu Baichuan nodded and asked, "Is it the supernatural power within Xiangxiang's body that's causing this?"
When he came in, he noticed that the water in Xiangxiang's bathtub was cold, and his wife's hands were red from the cold.
As he spoke, he stuffed the hot water bottle that had been prepared into Jiang Jiuniang's arms.
