"I've already reminded her. If Zong Ji doesn't believe me, there's nothing I can do." Pausing for a moment, she continued, "I won't disturb Zong Ji any longer. Goodbye."

He didn't know what to do until Mu Qianxue took the last flight of stairs and recovered her wits. She hurriedly chased after her and shouted at the back of the figure who had already reached the entrance, "What do you want in the end that you're willing to let Big Brother Yang go?"

Mu Qianxue's footsteps paused. Just when Shen Xijun thought that she would turn around and reply, she stepped over the threshold and sat on the palanquin that was waiting outside.

After walking for a while, she couldn't help but turn her head back. Through the drizzling rain, she saw Shen Xijun's extremely unsightly expression. Xia Yue retracted her gaze and worriedly asked through the curtain, "Princess, are you alright?"

After coughing a few times, the sound of breathing could be heard from the palanquin, "King Rui is the weakness of the Prosperous Sect. For King Rui's sake, she will definitely keep this a secret." If she wasn't that confident, she wouldn't dare to let him go.

"I hope so." Even though Mu Qianxue was certain, Xia Yue was still a little worried. She flew through the rain all the way back to King Rui's Estate, and after helping Mu Qianxue back to the East Branch to rest, she hurriedly went out to find a famous doctor from Jinling City.

The doctor checked Mu Qianxue's pulse, and after carefully listening to her symptoms, he said while stroking his beard, "Judging by her pulse and appearance, Princess's cough caused by insufficient lung energy should be incurable."

Xia Yue nodded. "Yes, the imperial physician who came to treat the princess previously also said the same thing. However, he has never coughed up blood before, so why is it so serious all of a sudden?"

The doctor pondered for a moment and asked, "Has the princess been working hard at night recently?"

After Xia Yue nodded, he said: "Those with a weak body must avoid staying up late. As time goes on, their body will inevitably get worse and worse, and they might even suffer from asthma."

"Asthma?" Xia Yue's face was pale. She had heard of this illness before. Once it developed, it would be the most dangerous.

"That's right. Luckily, the Princess's condition is not that serious yet. As long as you take good care of her, you should be able to control her, but …" He said with a serious expression, "You can't get tired from staying up all night. Otherwise, no matter how good the medicine is or how good the doctor is, he won't be able to help the princess."

"I understand, thank you, Doctor." Mu Qianxue nodded and said to Xia Yue, "Follow the doctor and go get the medicine."

"Yes." After waiting for the doctor to prescribe the prescription, Xia Yue sent him out. But when he arrived at the door, he coincidentally bumped into Dongfang Shou. He quickly sent the doctor away and pretended as if nothing had happened, "Greetings, Prince."

After gesturing for her to get up, Dongfang Yi asked, "Who was that person just now?"

"Yes …" "Yes …" Xia Yue quickly thought for a while before finding an excuse, "It's the tailor from the Cai Yi Hall. The princess said that the weather has turned cold recently, so she wanted to make some Qiu Yi clothes, so she asked him to come and take care of himself."

"Qiu Yi?" Dongfang Wenshui frowned. "Didn't the Imperial Secret Service send you some finished autumn clothes?"

"Yes …" We have come, but the clothing princesses were not satisfied, so we let the tailors of the Cai Yi Hall make a few new sets. " Xia Yue tried her best to lie.

Dongfang He nodded and said to Cai Yuan, who was following behind him, "Go to the Cai Yi Market and let them choose the best materials."

"No need!" How could Xia Yue dare to let Cai Yuan go over? She hurriedly called out to him, "This servant has already repeatedly reminded them of this. They know that there's no need to trouble Manager Cai anymore."

Cai Yuan didn't know the problem. He smiled and said, "The Cai Yi Market is only a few miles away. It's very convenient to go there, so it's not troublesome at all."

Before she could even think of refusing, Cai Yuan had already prepared to leave. She quickly went to stop him and hurriedly dropped the prescription hidden in his sleeve, but it was already too late for his to pick it up. Dongfang Zhi took it into his hands first.

Crap!

Xia Yue twisted her fingers as she nervously looked at Dongfang Shou. After the latter looked at the prescription, she coldly said, "What's wrong, Princess?" Ever since Mu Qianxue had arrived at King Rui's Mansion, all the medicinal ingredients for the prescription were personally managed by him. He could recite a few of the commonly used herbs even with his eyes closed, so when he saw the familiar name of the prescription, she immediately knew that it belonged to Mu Qianxue.

Seeing that it was impossible to hide, Xia Yue could only tell her about what had happened in the teahouse. Hearing that Mu Qianxue had vomited blood, Dongfang Zhi didn't bother to hold his umbrella and quickly rushed to the East District through the growing autumn rain.

After Xia Yue sent the doctor off, Mu Qianxue closed her eyes and unknowingly fell asleep. When she woke up, she accidentally saw Dongfang Gu sitting in front of the bed. She sat up straight and asked in surprise, "When did the prince come?"

Dongfang Yi placed two soft pillows behind her so that she could sit more comfortably. "After a while, when I saw you sleeping, I didn't disturb you. Did you feel any better?"

"Yes." His eyes inadvertently swept across Dongfang Shou's shoulder, discovering traces of rain on his shoulder. Looking carefully, not only that area, even the entire piece of clothing, as well as his pitch-black hair, was also wet. "Prince, have you showered?"

"It's a bit wet, so don't worry." Dongfang Wenshu casually agreed. He opened the small cup wrapped in a cotton cover, poured the thick black medicinal liquid into a porcelain bowl, scooped up a spoonful of it and blew on it to cool it before passing it to Mu Qianxue. "Drink the medicine."

Mu Qianxue looked at him for a moment before shifting her gaze to Xia Yue, who was standing at the side, and asked, "You told this prince?"

Xia Yue nodded. "This servant didn't do it on purpose. When I was sending the doctor out, I coincidentally bumped into the Prince, and he saw that prescription again. I really can't hide it from him."

Mu Qianxue lightly sighed before her gaze once again landed on Dongfang Zhi, "I'm not deliberately hiding this from you, I just don't want you to worry."

Dongfang Qin didn't say anything and only indicated for her to drink the medicine first. After Mu Qianxue finished drinking a bowl of bitter medicine, he had Xia Yue bring the plum she prepared earlier and let Mu Qianxue remove the bitter taste in her mouth.

After Mu Qianxue spat out her small plum core, Dongfang Shou tucked it in. "Tomorrow, I'll have the imperial physician come over and diagnose your pulse."

Mu Qianxue's gaze lingered on his face for a long time before she softly asked, "Are you angry with me?"

After a brief moment of silence, he said, "You broke the contract first, shouldn't I be angry?"

"Breach of contract?" Mu Qianxue doubtfully asked, "Where did this come from?"

After gesturing for Xia Yue to leave, Dongfang Gu said in a deep voice, "Did you say you would help me take the throne, and protect mother's peace?"

Although Mu Qianxue didn't understand his intention for asking this, she still answered truthfully, "Yes."

"Royal brother takes up all the time in the world. If it wasn't for your help, I simply don't have the qualifications to fight for the position of emperor with him."

"I've said it before, I will do everything I can to help you, your highness. I definitely won't …"

"You didn't!" "You knew your health wasn't good, yet you stayed up all night to sleep, not caring about your health in the slightest. You even made Xia Yue hide this from me, and today is blood. Then what about tomorrow, and the next day? If I lose this battle, what can I do? "
