Pingling pursed his lips and said, "Mother, His Majesty has asked Brother Five to take care of you. You can go with Brother Five to Prince Xin's mansion first. Brother Nine's mansion is next door. You can use the excuse of visiting or Sister Nine to live in Brother Nine's mansion. As long as Brother Five doesn't say anything, His Majesty will not interfere."
Concubine Rong's expression eased a little, but she was still worried that Xiao Changqing would remember it one day: "Pingling, why don't we tell your ninth brother? Mother is worried that if he remembers it one day, your ninth brother will be unprepared, and he might..."
"No!" Pingling rejected it flatly. "Brother Five is more important to Brother Nine than me and Mother. If Brother Nine knew, he would definitely side with Brother One. Telling Brother Nine is telling Brother Five. There is no need to wait for Brother Five to remember. We..."
Concubine Rong felt even more regretful, and she didn't know why she was so angry just now. She couldn't keep the words from her mouth.
Now I can only take one step at a time and hope that Xiao Changqing will never remember it.
No one else knew what happened in Hanzhang Palace. Shen Xihe had been confined in the palace to take care of her pregnancy. Her only concern now was His Majesty. To her surprise, His Majesty did not become suspicious or change his temperament just because he knew he was dying.
He was still a hardworking king, as if he was unaware that he was in poor health, and he handled state affairs as usual.
None of Shen Xihe's many defensive measures came in handy, especially when it came to the northwest.
In the blink of an eye, it was November and heavy snow had begun to fall in Kyoto. On the first day of October, Shen Xihe received good news: Xie Yunhuai had returned.
"He's back?" Shen Xihe asked impatiently, "Where's Beichen?"
Tian Yuan lowered his head: "Your Highness has never returned with Doctor Qi."
The light in his eyes dimmed in an instant, and Shen Xihe laughed at himself: "I was expecting too much."
How could he come back so soon? If it was so easy to cure, why would he leave in such a way? He even thought about not letting her know that he was escaping to detoxify. It can be seen that this poison is not easy to detoxify, and he may not be able to come back.
"Your Highness, do you want to summon Doctor Qi to see you?" Tian Yuan asked.
Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not return with Xie Yunhuai, He left with Xie Yunhuai, and Xie Yunhuai must know a lot about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Shen Xihe shook his head: "Maybe... he came back for his own business."
If Xiao Huayong asked him to bring back something or a message, he would take the initiative to come to Shen Xihe without being summoned.
If not, why would she bother making things difficult for Xie Yunhuai
She did not forget that Xie Yunhuai had not yet resolved the Xie family's affairs.
"Duke Xie's youngest son is about four years old now." Shen Xihe whispered.
She knew that Xie Yunhuai must have returned because of this matter.
After returning, Xie Yunhuai did not ask to see Shen Xihe. He did not even reveal his whereabouts to too many people. He just came back to repay his father and put an end to the plan that was set up many years ago.
He seldom returned to Kyoto in these years, but most of the Xie family had secretly turned to him.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, big news, big news!" Zi Yu, who knows everything, can get the first good news from every mansion even in the palace. She hurried to find Shen Xihe, "Big news related to Doctor Qi!"
