When Li Jingwan opened her eyes, she felt tired all over, even her eyelids felt heavy.

The bed curtains in front of me looked familiar, but I had no idea where I was.

As she was trying to recall, a person came over and spoke in a surprised voice.

"Miss, you're awake!" Bitao ran over.

"Bitao..." Li Jingwan looked at her, "Where is this?"

"Miss, please don't scare me." Bi Tao's red and swollen eyes widened, "You are not... losing your memory, are you?"

Li Jingwan laughed, "If I lost my memory, how could I recognize you?"

Bitao felt relieved, bent down and carefully helped her up.

"Miss, this is your boudoir, don't you remember?"

Li Jingwan looked at the familiar layout and couldn't help laughing, "I'm confused."

"Miss, you slept for too long." Bi Tao poured a glass of water and handed it to her. "You have been unconscious since yesterday and have been sleeping until now."

As soon as she mentioned it, Li Jingwan remembered it.

After coming out of the main hall of the Dali Temple yesterday, she spoke a few words to her mother and others before she fainted.

Li Jingwan drank half a cup of water to moisten her throat, "Bitao, what time is it?"

"Three quarters after noon."

Li Jingwan calculated that she had slept for almost ten hours.

Bitao took the cup of water, still feeling frightened.

"We were really scared when you fainted yesterday. Your Highness Prince Jing sent you back and immediately called Doctor Xu to take your pulse..."

"Your Highness Prince Jing?" Li Jingwan interrupted her, quite surprised, "He sent me back?"

"Yeah." Bitao nodded.

"His Royal Highness Prince Jing is so brave. He rushed out to catch you when you fainted. He called the coroner from the Dali Temple to make sure you were okay, and then he sent the carriage from the palace to take you back home."

Li Jingwan had no impression of it, but she was touched when she thought of Chu Tingyu's help in court.

"Where is His Royal Highness Prince Jing?" After asking, he realized that he had said too much.

How could Chu Tingyu still be staying in the general's mansion?

Bi Tao said, "After Doctor Xu examined you, His Royal Highness Prince Jing stayed for a while and then left, saying that he was going to the palace."

At this time, Yao brought Li Huirou to see her, and was overjoyed to see that she had woken up.

"Daughter, how do you feel?" Yao sat by the bed, touched her forehead first, and then held her hand. "You fainted yesterday, and I was scared."

Li Huirou also asked with concern, "Eldest sister, are you feeling unwell?"

"It's okay, mother, Huirou." She smiled, "Maybe she's too tired."

She hasn't been sleeping well these days.

Moreover, from the birthday banquet held in the Marquis' Mansion the day before yesterday to the fire in Youlan Residence, and then to the trial in the Dali Temple yesterday, she had hardly slept.

Yao's voice choked up, "Doctor Xu said the same thing."

"He said that you were worried too much and didn't get enough rest. Your mind suddenly relaxed under extreme tension, so you fainted. And..." Yao burst into tears.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Li Jingwan quickly wiped away her tears and comforted her, "I just didn't get enough rest. I will be fully recovered after a few more days of sleep."

"You are still lying to me." Yao pulled her hand down, with anger mixed with love.

"You were poisoned by the Marquis' Mansion, why didn't you tell me? Doctor Xu said yesterday that there are still toxins in your body that have not been cleared, and it has also affected your health."

Li Jingwan evaded the point, "Mom, that was a long time ago. After I discovered it, I didn't let them succeed."

"No wonder you became weaker after you got married. They harmed Ding Zheng and they want to poison you!" Yao was furious. "Did our General's Mansion owe them something in our previous life? They want to kill us all."

"It's all over, mother." Li Jingwan was afraid that she would get angry and get sick, so she continued to comfort her, "Now that the truth has been found out, they can't escape."

"From today on, you will stay in the general's mansion and are not allowed to go anywhere. Take good care of yourself." Yao pretended to be majestic, "All according to my instructions."

"Okay." Li Jingwan coaxed, "I'll listen to you."

After washing up, Li Jingwan had lunch with her family and took medicine under Yao's supervision.

Not long after putting down the medicine bowl, the servant came to report that Chu Tingyu had arrived.

Everyone hurried to greet him, and Chu Tingyu had already walked in, with only Qi Ming by his side.

"Meet His Royal Highness Prince Jing."

"No need to be polite." Chu Tingyu looked at Li Jingwan first, "How are you?"

Li Jingwan nodded slightly and bowed to express her gratitude.

"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Jing, for your help and concern. I am much better now."

She saluted Qi Ming again, "Thank you, Guard Qi, for your help the day before yesterday. If it weren't for you, I would have..."

"Mrs. Qin..." Qi Ming waved his hands quickly, then changed his words when he realized that this was not the right title.

"Miss Li, you are welcome. I am following the orders of Prince Jing. This is what I should do."

Li Jingwan had already guessed that it was Chu Tingyu who gave the order, and she was even more touched. "Thank you, Prince Jing."

Yao led the others in kowtow and expressed her gratitude, "Your Highness Prince Jing has been so kind, and I have no way to repay you."

"Mrs. Li, you are too polite. Please stand up." Chu Tingyu stretched out his hand and gave her a light support.

"I have said that General Li once taught me and was my mentor, and Ding Zheng was my comrade. In their absence, I have the responsibility to take care of the General's Mansion."

"I came here today because I have something to tell the eldest lady of the Li family."

Although Li Jingwan is still the wife of Marquis Wu'an, Chu Tingyu has long stopped calling her "Madam Qin" because the Marquis Wu'an Mansion is not worthy of her.

Li Jingwan then went to the side with him and asked, "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

"Yesterday, Dong Ruxu sorted out the confessions of Qin Changzhou and others, and I went to the palace to present them to the emperor. The emperor was furious and very sad. He wants to see you."

Li Jingwan was very surprised.

I thought that the emperor's order to transfer the case directly from Yingtian Prefecture to the Dali Temple for a joint trial by the three courts was already a grace from heaven.

I didn't expect to have the chance to see the Holy Saint.

Bitao said that Chu Tingyu sent her back home yesterday and then went to the palace. It turned out that it was for this matter.

Otherwise, the Dali Temple would not have been able to issue a confession yesterday.

"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Jing, for running around for the General's Mansion." Li Jingwan's nose felt a little sour. "Jingwan is grateful and has no way to repay you."

"If you really want to thank me, don't say these words of gratitude." Chu Tingyu said seriously, "I said, I just did some insignificant things."

"It is all thanks to your efforts that the crimes of Wu'an Marquis's Mansion were made public. You have done everything. What I did was just icing on the cake. It can't be regarded as timely help."

Being praised by him with such a serious face, Li Jingwan felt a little embarrassed and a little amused in her heart.

"My Lord, when can I enter the palace to see the Emperor?"

"Tomorrow morning, I will come to the general's mansion to pick you up, and we will enter the palace together."

Li Jingwan nodded, "Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."
