"Fourth sister-in-law, fourth brother."

Xiao Yun's voice suddenly sounded from not far away. The two turned their heads and saw him walking towards them with a bunch of packages in his hands.

"Your Highness Prince An." Jiang Xue greeted with a smile.

Xiao Zhan also turned around, pointed at what Xiao Yun was holding and asked, "What are you holding?"

"Oh, this is the pregnancy-maintaining medicine prescribed by the imperial physician for mother."

Xiao Yun shook the package in his hand to show them, then put it down.

"The medicine from the Imperial Hospital will naturally be delivered to Chongyi Palace. Why do you have to go there in person?" Xiao Zhan asked with a smile.

"Ever since my mother nearly had a miscarriage, I no longer trust anyone. My mother herself is terribly scared, afraid that someone will do something to her again.

We discussed it and decided that I would do the medicine myself, so that I and my mother would be relieved. "The last time Jiang Chongyi had a miscarriage, Xiao Yun was terrified.

Although he knew that people in the palace were circumspect.

But he always held on to a glimmer of hope, thinking that with Jiang Chongyi's current status, even if someone wanted to harm her, they would have to think twice before acting.

Besides, Jiang Chongyi is a kind person and has never had any grudges with anyone, so no one should deliberately harm her.

Who would have thought that even a person as peaceful as Jiang Chongyi could not escape the schemes of others? This made Xiao Yun no longer dare to be careless.

From then on, he accompanied Jiang Chongyi almost every day. Even if he couldn't come due to something, he would ask his ninth sister Xiao Gui to help look after her, so that he could feel at ease.

"That's fine, but Your Highness Prince An will have to work harder these days."

Xiao Yun's filial piety made Jiang Xue look at him with admiration. Born in a cold and ruthless royal family, it was truly commendable that Xiao Yun could still maintain such deep affection and friendship.

"I'm still young, so it doesn't matter if I work a little harder. As long as my mother feels at ease, I think it's worth it." Xiao Yun grinned and said, "Speaking of which, Fourth Sister-in-law, she has always remembered the kindness you gave her for saving her twice.

She has been talking about it these days and wants to thank you in person. Since you are going to the palace today, why don't you come with me to see how mother is doing?"

Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan looked at each other and thought that since they had already entered the palace, it would be nice to visit on the way.

The two nodded in agreement and followed Xiao Yun to Chongyi Palace.

After the three people left, a figure quickly disappeared from the hidden shadows and ran straight towards Kunyi Palace.

"I didn't expect that Jiang Xue and Jiang Chongyi had such a friendship." In Kunyi Palace, Wu Meifeng stared at Jue writing word by word.

"I was worried that I couldn't find a chance to get her involved. Now, she comes to me on her own initiative." Wu Meifeng sneered and held down Jue's hand which had stopped writing: "Jue, next, you do this..." She leaned close to Jue's ear and whispered her plan.

Soon, Jue's figure disappeared in an instant. Wu Meifeng watched him leave, with a hint of expectation in the cold smile on her face.

The chess game has been set up. I really want to see Jiang Xue's expression sooner.

Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan stayed in Chongyi Hall for quite a while. When they came out, a bright moon was hanging in the sky.

"Although the fetus is in a stable condition, Jiang Chongyi is still weak. Your Highness Prince An must pay more attention to her and take good care of her these days. When Empress Chongyi successfully gives birth to the heir, Changle will come and prepare some tonic medicine for her."

Jiang Chongyi was unable to see them out due to her mobility problems, so Xiao Yun was responsible for seeing them off.

After Jiang Xue gave a few serious instructions, the two said goodbye to Xiao Yun and left the palace.

"Uh, cough cough!"

After returning to the palace, Jiang Xue felt a sharp pain in her chest as soon as she stepped through the door.

She gritted her teeth to endure the pain and coughed several times. A fishy and sweet taste rushed into her throat and her palms felt hot and wet. She looked down and saw the blood on her palms, which was shocking.

"Jiang Xue!"

Xiao Zhan's face changed drastically and he immediately carried her to the bedroom.

The onset of this blood poison is so unpredictable that it doesn't give people any chance to prepare!

Jiang Xue curled up in pain, cold sweat dripping down her face like raindrops, and her clothes were soaked in an instant.

"cold……"

As the sweat evaporated, her body temperature dropped rapidly, and she shivered with cold. In a daze, she uttered a word.

Seeing her shivering with cold, Xiao Zhan felt so distressed.

He hugged her tightly, holding her tighter, trying to bring her some warmth with his warm embrace.

"Tie Yi, go and prepare the hot spring in the backyard!"

There is a secret hot spring pool hidden in the backyard of Prince Gong's Mansion. Xiao Zhan usually uses it to warm himself in winter, but it comes in handy now.

After a while, the hot spring pool was ready. Xiao Zhan held Jiang Xue in his arms and stepped directly into the warm spring water without even taking off his clothes.

The hot water gently surrounded her whole body, and the steam made Jiang Xue feel waves of warmth, and the coldness gradually dissipated.

She loosened her arms that were hugging herself, and a striking blue hue appeared on her wrists due to the wet sleeves.

It was the turquoise bracelet he gave her at the Lantern Festival, and she wore it all the time.

She gazed lovingly at the lover in her arms. Although the coldness had eased, the pain still lingered on her face.

It was unknown how much time had passed, but the situation did not improve at all. Xiao Zhan could not bear to see her continue to suffer, so he gritted his teeth, took out the pills given by Doctor Li from his arms and fed them to her to swallow.

After a moment, her furrowed brows slowly relaxed and her face was no longer as pale as before.

Her eyelids trembled slightly, and she slowly opened them. What she saw was his handsome and familiar face: "Yun Che, I'm fine..."

She whispered, using up her last bit of strength, and then fell into a deep sleep.

"Princess?" Fu Dong walked in with clean clothes. When he heard the princess' voice, he called out anxiously.

With a splash of water, Xiao Zhan walked out of the hot spring pool holding the wet Jiang Xue.

"It's okay, she just fell asleep." He took the dry clothes from Fu Dong's hand, put them on Jiang Xue, then walked straight into the room and gently closed the door.

Tonight is destined to be a heart-wrenching night.

The next day, when Jiang Xue woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.

Her clothes, both inside and out, were changed into clean ones. When she saw the wet undershirt hanging on the hanger, her cheeks flushed slightly.

After getting dressed and walking out of the room, she ran into Xiao Zhan who had just returned from the morning court.

His face didn't look good, as if he was holding back a fire.

This gave Jiang Xue an ominous feeling in her heart.

Since the two of them have been together, she has understood Xiao Zhan better than anyone else.

He is not the type to show his emotions, nor is he the type to lose his temper easily. He always hides all his inner thoughts with a gentle smile.

Even if someone was unfriendly to him or made things difficult for him, he never expressed his dissatisfaction, but just kept it in his heart, waiting for the right time to give the other party a fatal blow.

So far, he has only been truly angry twice. One was when Zhong Qing was publicly insulted by Xiao Yan last time, and the other was now.
