Jimei'er didn't stay in Ji Mansion for long, and then hurriedly took people back to the palace.

After she left, Ji Xiang also moved with Nanny Yu and others to the courtyard given by the emperor.

The plaque on the door has been removed by Xiong Er and others, and they made a new one with the word "吉家" written on it.

"Yes, Ji's house, Jixiang's house. It's very meaningful, I like it!" Jixiang said happily, "Reward, if you move to a new house today, each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!"

Erya was so happy that she ran into the yard holding the package, "Miss, which yard do you live in?"

"Suyuzhai."

"Okay, I'll send the lady's things to Suyuzhai right now!"

Everyone worked hard for a whole day before they packed up and got into their places.

Jixiang did not let Xiong Er and Zaohua move here with them. Xiong Erguan resumed his duties and still lived in the original Sanjinyuan next to Ji's mansion.

Although Zaohua refused in every possible way, Jixiang said, now that you are a general's wife, you must act like a general's wife, and you can no longer be my follower like before.

But Zaohua refused. She said it was okay for her to still live in the Sanjin Courtyard, but she had to stay with her sister.

Jixiang had no choice but to let Zaohua continue to be with him.

Early the next morning, Ji Xiang went into the palace as usual to ask for Emperor Likang's pulse.

Emperor Li Kang had just left the court and was a little tired, so when Ji Xiang came in to salute, he didn't react at all.

Eunuch Guo stepped forward to remind him, and Ji Xiang signaled that it was okay. He stood up and stepped forward to check Emperor Likang's pulse.

"Guo Ziyi, who do you think Master Min could be? Could it be the person I think of?"

Emperor Likang suddenly spoke up.

Ji Xiang was startled, and his outstretched hand stopped in mid-air.

"Your Majesty, Miss Jixiang is here to take your pulse." Eunuch Guo deliberately raised his voice to remind.

Emperor Likang seemed to have come back to his senses, and was a little surprised to see Jixiang right in front of him.

"When did you come in?!"

"Wei Chen has just arrived." Ji Xiang didn't know who the Lord Min the emperor was talking about, but she guessed that it must be related to the Lord Min from Netherworld Valley.

But she couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking, so she spoke quickly.

"Your Majesty, I want to go to Fengyu County."

Emperor Likang was startled, "You are four months pregnant now, why do you still want to go out for a rough ride? Aren't you afraid that the child in your belly will have an accident?"

"This child was born just like me, so the little bumps won't have any impact."

"No, I won't agree." Emperor Likang refused without giving Jixiang any room for negotiation.

"However, Wei Chen is worried that Prince Ning will be in trouble in Fengyu County."

Ever since she dealt with Kou Peilin, Ji Xiang has been feeling a little uneasy. She began to think that someone would take revenge and murder her, so she was careful for a few days, but she found that no one came close to her.

Then, she thought of Tian Muyu who was far away in Fengyu County. After all, she had his flesh and blood in her belly, so there should be a so-called father-son connection.

Thinking this way, the worry in her heart became even worse, so she made the request just now to ask Emperor Likang for permission to leave the capital.

Seeing that Ji Xiang's expression was a little unhappy, Emperor Likang spoke leisurely.

"Jixiang, it's not that I don't want you to help Prince Ning, it's just that the journey here is too dangerous. I have already sent people to the Netherworld Valley you mentioned, but there is no one there anymore."

Ji Xiang was surprised, "When did the emperor send someone there?"

"You said that I sent someone there that night when Kou Peilin asked Han Sijin to send your dowry to Netherworld Valley."

The emperor was indeed the emperor, so she knew that Emperor Likang would be wary if she told him about Netherworld Valley, as expected.

"Has the cave been searched?" Jixiang asked.

"We've searched everything, but apart from some daily necessities left behind by their hasty evacuation, we haven't found anything useful."

Emperor Likang sighed, "I'm afraid these people are not simple people. I asked the prince about the murder of your Ji family, and Dali Temple also conducted a special investigation. It has nothing to do with the prince, and Kou Peilin admitted that he framed you and Prince Ning. Regarding this, I have always denied the matter, so I suspect that this matter may be related to the actions of those people in Netherworld Valley..."

"So the emperor doesn't want me to go to Fengyu County because he's afraid of meeting them again?"

Emperor Likang nodded.

Jixiang suddenly felt that Emperor Likang in front of her was a little cute. She just helped him calm down his anxious state, and he focused on himself. This was something she did not expect.

"But don't worry, I have sent people to Fengyu County and will bring back the news there soon."

Ji Xiang nodded, "That humble minister will obey the emperor's arrangements in everything."

Emperor Likang was relieved.

Eunuch Guo came over in a hurry, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu would like to ask Miss Ji Xiang to come over and help her."

"Isn't there an imperial doctor?"

"I heard that even Tang Yuanzheng has gone, but Concubine Shu's condition has not improved."

Li Kangdi saw good luck.

Ji Xiang stood up immediately and said, "I'll be there right away."

After Concubine Shu went to see Kou Peilin in the prison, she fell ill when she came back. It has been five days since then.

After five days of not eating or drinking, I have lost weight significantly. There are eye sockets on my originally plump face, plus dark circles caused by insomnia.

The whole person looks very bad.

Tian Muqiong was like an eggplant battered by frost, sitting next to Concubine Shu. When he saw Ji Xiang getting up, he looked at her coldly and did not get up.

The maid didn't dare to let Tian Muqiong get out of the way, and just looked at Ji Xiang for help.

Ji Xiang stepped forward and said, "Third Prince, please give way and let me take your pulse."

Tian Muqiong didn't move.

Ji Xiang added, "Is it possible that the Third Prince doesn't want Concubine Shu to get better?"

"Nonsense!" Tian Muqiong glared at Ji Xiang, "My mother and concubine are like this because of you! If you hadn't been chasing my grandfather, my mother and concubine would not have gotten sick!"

What a waste of years and lack of brains!

Ji Xiang cursed in his heart, no wonder the prince was unscathed this time. With a good brother like Tian Muqiong who has no authority and is still going through fire and water in front of him, how could Tian Muchen get into trouble?

But Jixiang didn't understand how the queen and the prince managed to trick Concubine Shu and Tian Muqiong into applauding?

These two pairs of mother and son originally had the best relationship in the palace. Concubine Shu was almost Empress Wei's little follower. However, something happened to her, and it seemed that Empress Wei didn't pay much attention to her.

"Since the third prince doesn't want Wei Chen to help the empress with diagnosis and treatment, then Wei Chen will go and revive the emperor." Ji Xiang said and turned around and walked out.

The maid next to her was so anxious that she knelt down in front of Tian Muqiong and said, "Third Prince, please save your Majesty. If I continue like this, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."

The maid didn't dare to say any more.

"I'm afraid we have to hold a funeral for her!"

"You!" Tian Muqiong suddenly stood up and reached out to grab Ji Xiang's neck.

Ji Xiang dodged lightly and escaped Tian Muqiong's surprise attack.

"The Third Prince really wants to watch your mother and concubine die in front of you!" Jixiang snorted coldly and left the house immediately.

"Stop! Stop for me!" Tian Muqiong chased after him.

"Jixiang, I order you to come back to diagnose and treat my mother and concubine!"
