Chapter 176 Return to Beijing
Yueli and Xie Lixing returned to the yard and talked about the relationship between their grandparents.
As they were chatting, Yueli felt a little dizzy.
"I'm sleepy..."
After saying that, Yueli tilted her head and fell asleep.
Yueli had never experienced such a situation before, so he immediately asked the court physician who came from the Regent's Palace to examine Yueli.
"Is there something wrong with the princess's health?" Could it be that someone has ambushed her?
However, the maids following Yueli felt that Yueli seemed to be pregnant.
They had learned that pregnancy can lead to sleepiness.
Her princess really loves to sleep recently.
A look of joy appeared on Qinyin's face. Are they really going to have a little prince or princess?
The others had similar thoughts as Qin Yin. They all thought there was good news for Yushili's health, until the court doctor arrived.
There was worry in Xie Lixing's eyes, and there was anticipation in the gazes of several maids. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the court physician without blinking, which made the court physician feel a lot of pressure.
He looked at Xie Lixing and then at the maid.
"Don't be nervous. Once I take the princess's pulse, I'll be able to get the result."
For some reason, he always felt that the princess's maids seemed very happy.
Is it his illusion?
The court doctor placed his hand on Yueli's wrist and concentrated on taking her pulse. Then, his expression became more and more solemn.
Seeing that his expression was not very good, Qinyin and the others instantly became panicked.
Could it be that the princess is not pregnant, but poisoned?
When they thought of this possibility, they instantly became anxious. They stared nervously at the court doctor in front of them, hoping that he could give them an answer quickly.
After a long time, the court doctor withdrew his hand from taking the patient's pulse.
He turned to look at Xie Lixing, "Your Highness, don't worry. The princess is fine, it's just..."
This is to make the people around you feel excited.
"I think you should know the princess's specific condition. Something in her body is... should I say awakening? Therefore, the princess has been a little sleepy recently."
The court doctor couldn't figure out what was hidden in Yueli's body.
But it is certain that it has no effect on Yueli's body.
The court doctor couldn't figure out what it was, but Xie Lixing had a guess. He thought it must be the natal Gu that Yueli's biological mother had refined for her, or perhaps buried.
Apart from this, he couldn't think of anything else that could stay in her body for eighteen years.
Thinking of this, Xie Lixing did not hide it from the court doctor.
"Aren't you a Miao doctor? Can you tell that there's something related to the Miao region in her body?"
Xie Lixing's words reminded the court doctor.
He had always felt that something in Yueli's body was very familiar, but he had no clue what was going on.
He never thought about the Miao area.
Because Yueli grew up in the Central Plains. If she was poisoned by a Gu, he would be able to diagnose it immediately when he took Yueli's pulse.
Unexpectedly——
"It is indeed possible. If the princess's identity is related to Miaojiang, the poisonous insect in her body will awaken and she will have such a reaction." The court doctor looked at Yueli in surprise.
He really didn't expect that the princess would be from Miaojiang.
Today was the first time that the maids learned that their princess had a relationship with Miaojiang.
Thinking of Miaojiang...
Qinyin turned around and winked at the maids, asking them to follow her out.
Qinyin is the eldest girl among the group. It can be said that she is the future head aunt of Yuli, so everyone treats her with respect.
"Sister Qinyin, what did the court doctor just say?"
"yes!"
"Our princess is not..."
Before they could finish their chatter, Qin Yin spoke in a deep voice, "No matter what it is, you must suppress your curiosity. We are the princess's maids. Don't be curious about other things, don't know anything about them, understand?"
These things are not something they, as maids, should know.
The prince didn't avoid them, probably to test their sincerity. If anyone dared to harbor bad intentions, they would probably end up in trouble...
Qin Yin warned them with a cold face.
"If you don't want to die, just keep your mouth shut. Otherwise... even the princess may not be able to save us."
She was talking about us, not you.
Let the other maids understand that what they just heard was already the princess's secret.
They quickly covered their mouths, indicating that they would never tell anyone.
Seeing this, Qin Yin nodded in satisfaction, "I'm not trying to scare you, it's mainly because this is a serious matter, and we must be mentally prepared in advance."
What Qinyin didn't know was that while she was giving the speech, Xie Lixing's men were standing in the corner listening.
If they heard any remarks unfavorable to Yueli, their order was: kill without mercy!
They know their limits, so they don't resort to violence.

When Yueli woke up again, she smelled the smell of medicine. She frowned and sat up, "What's wrong?"
Why does she want to take medicine again?
"You have been in poor health recently and have fallen ill, so you need to take medicine." Xie Lixing did not tell Yueli that the poisonous insect buried in her body was waking up.
He was afraid that she was afraid.
In Miaojiang, perhaps every girl has a natal Gu, and they are not afraid of it.
That is their life-saving Gu.
But Yueli is different. She grew up in the Central Plains and knows nothing about Miao affairs. She would be scared if she suddenly found out.
He was afraid of scaring her.
"Ah? My body is so weak. It seems that I need to work hard to exercise!" From now on, she will practice the Five Animal Exercises every day to exercise her body!
So as to avoid having to take medicine all the time.
Xie Lixing smiled, and underneath that smile, he said something very cold, "Even so, you have to drink this bowl of medicine."
Yueli: “…” Failed to dodge, she could only hold her nose and drink.
After drinking the medicine, a candied fruit was stuffed into her mouth.
The sweet taste spread between her lips and teeth, relaxing her little face which was wrinkled due to the bitterness of the medicine.
She kept fanning the smell of medicine in front of her nose.
"The thing I hate doing most is taking medicine!" But I'm not in good health and always have to take medicine!
hateful!
Xie Lixing touched her hair and sighed softly, "It's all over now. Don't feel bad. Take good care of yourself and you won't need to take medicine."
Yueli pouts.
"I know!"
The two stayed in Langya City for more than two months. Finally, when it was almost three months, the emperor's order to return arrived in Langya City.
He seemed to sense that something was wrong with Xie Lixing staying in Langya City for so long.
So he called Xie Lixing back.
Who dares to disobey the emperor's orders?
Xie Lixing took Yueli and set out on the journey back.
However, when the two of them returned, they did not rush, but walked slowly.
