"Different." Xiao Changqing didn't like anyone to compare himself with Gu Qingzhi. It wasn't that he looked down on Shen Xihe, but Gu Qingzhi was unique and incomparable to him. "Your fifth sister-in-law is naturally cold-hearted, while Princess Zhaoning is motivated by profit."
Xiao Changying did not argue, and the two brothers were silent for a while.
Xiao Huayong returned to the Eastern Palace as soon as he left Prince Lie's Mansion, but that night he caught a cold and fell unconscious with a fever.
"Caught a cold?" Shen Xihe's first reaction was that he was using illness as an excuse to go out again.
Xiao Huayong relied on the fact that someone in the Imperial Medical Bureau was always unscrupulous and found someone to pretend to be him. Emperor Youning would occasionally visit him, and nine out of ten times he would find that he had just taken medicine and rested. Emperor Youning did not suspect him, so naturally he did not have to see him.
That's why he fooled people every time, and it was also because his illness was deeply rooted in people's minds.
But thinking about how it was really cold yesterday, and how he was afraid of cold, and how he insisted on running out of the palace to see her, Shen Xihe thought that maybe he really caught a cold this time, and that Ah Xi and Zhenzhu beside her were also injured, so she could only say after Xie Yunhuai came to see her again: "Doctor Qi, please come with me to the palace."
"Go see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Xie Yunhuai seemed to have expected this.
Shen Xihe nodded: "The Imperial Medical Bureau is full of talented people, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still receiving acupuncture treatment. Now Ah Xi can't continue to treat him, so I can only trouble Doctor Qi."
Since Xie Yunhuai was responsible for Shen Xihe's physical conditioning, he often went to the Princess's Mansion. Sui Axi was good at acupuncture, but he was weak in other aspects, especially diagnosis and prescribing. He wanted to ask Xie Yunhuai for advice, and Xie Yunhuai was not stingy. In return, Sui Axi also shared the art of acupuncture with Xie Yunhuai.
Some time ago, I accompanied Ah Xi in giving acupuncture treatment to Xiao Huayong, and I also discussed this a lot with Xie Yunhuai.
"The princess seems to treat His Royal Highness the Crown Prince differently." Xie Yunhuai said as he put away the medicine box.
"He is my savior and the person I will entrust my life to in the future." Shen Xihe said frankly, "He is different from others."
It’s just that this difference is not the one Xiao Huayong expected.
Xie Yunhuai agreed to enter the palace with Shen Xihe. It was cold in winter, and Xie Yunhuai could not enter the palace by himself. Shen Xihe's maid could not take him into the palace either, so Shen Xihe had to go there in person.
When he arrived at the East Palace and met Tian Yuan, he explained his purpose. Tian Yuan could only invite Shen Xihe to the side and said truthfully: "Your Highness is not in the palace."
Shen Xihe nodded. She was originally worried that Xiao Huayong had really caught a cold, so it was expected that he would go out on the pretext of being sick. She didn't think there was anything wrong with it. This was Xiao Huayong's private matter, and Shen Xihe had no intention of asking about it.
She turned to leave, but Tian Yuan stopped her: "Your Highness is going to chase the King of the Northwest."
Shen Xihe's eyes narrowed: "Why are you chasing after dad?"
"Some villains want to harm the prince, Your Highness, please come in person." Tian Yuan saw Shen Xihe's cold face and worry in his eyes, and hurriedly said, "Princess, don't worry, they are just a mob, not worth mentioning."
"A mob, not worth mentioning? Is it necessary for him to go there in person?" Shen Xihe obviously didn't believe it. Her father had been on the battlefield for a long time. If it was a small trouble, Xiao Huayong could just send a message and her father could solve it himself. Why should he take the risk to go there in person
Tian Yuan said uncomfortably: "I also tried to persuade Your Highness, but Your Highness said..."
