After returning to the palace, Yan Qing carefully got into the carriage, carried Xiao Yu down on his back, and sent him back to his bedroom.

Su Lingyue brought colorful butterflies to Baicao Garden to prepare medicine for Xiao Yu.

Doctor Lu had returned without knowing when. When he saw Su Lingyue coming over, he asked, "Girl Yue, what's the matter?"

"Yeah." Su Lingyue responded and told him about Xiao Yu bleeding to save Jiang Fu.

Su Lingyue lowered her head, her voice full of guilt, "If I could, I would rather suffer for him."

Doctor Lu stroked his beard and sighed, "He must have thought so. Yue girl, he must be happy to have you by his side no matter what the result is."

Su Lingyue had been deliberately avoiding the fact that Xiao Yu had less than a year left to live, but the result she least wanted to mention and think about was approaching.

Doctor Lu's words made her nose sore, and all kinds of thoughts flooded into her mind.

If possible, she wants to live with Xiao Yu until they are old.

Doctor Lu saw Su Lingyue's red eyes and asked with a smile: "Until the last moment, I won't give up on him. You won't give up on him either, right?"

How could she give up? He was her husband.

He is the one who holds her at the top of his heart.

He is the kind of person who would rather get hurt himself than make her feel guilty.

Su Lingyue raised her head, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and smiled, "Of course not."

Doctor Lu re-prescribed Xiao Yu's daily medicine, and increased the amount of Qi and blood replenishing ingredients in the original prescription.

Doctor Lu came to Furong Pavilion with Su Lingyue. After taking Xiao Yu's pulse, he didn't say much. He just told Su Lingyue with a stern face that Xiao Yu should take medicine on time every day.

When seeing Doctor Lu off from Hibiscus Pavilion, Su Lingyue asked casually, "Uncle Lu, where did you go this morning?"

Doctor Lu was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Su Lingyue. After confirming that she knew nothing, he said, "An acquaintance is sick. I'll go see him."

Su Lingyue said "Oh" and didn't ask any more questions.

When Su Lingyue returned to the room, she saw Yan Qing lying on the edge of the bed.

A pair of round eyes stared at Xiao Yu without blinking, and the look in his eyes was like that of an abandoned puppy, so pitiful.

Su Lingyue walked to the bedside, put her hand into the quilt, and took Xiao Yu's pulse again.

After confirming that his condition was temporarily stable, my heart gradually calmed down.

Xiao Yu is sick, and she has to take good care of Xiao Yu's diet and daily life.

"Yan Qing, I'll go to the kitchen and tell them to make some of the prince's favorite food. You keep a close eye on the prince." Su Lingyue said to Yan Qing.

"Yeah." Yan Qing nodded. He looked at Xiao Yu's pale and weak face and responded casually in a daze.

Yan Qing's feelings for Xiao Yu should have long gone beyond an ordinary master-servant relationship.

He may rely on Xiao Yu like a father or an elder brother.

After confidently handing over the responsibility of taking care of Xiao Yu to Yan Qing, Su Lingyue turned around to leave the bedroom, but Caidie stopped her.

"Miss, please change your clothes before going out."

"Why change?" Su Lingyue was puzzled.

Caidie pulled up Su Lingyue's sleeve and pointed to her, "Miss, your clothes are stained with blood."

Su Lingyue raised her arm and found that one side of her sleeve was stained with blood.

Caidie held the robe she had found and took Su Lingyue's hand and walked towards the compartment.

"Miss, you take care of the prince, and I will take care of Miss. Let's go, I will help Miss change clothes." Caidie murmured.

Su Lingyue let her hold her, feeling warm and touched in her heart.

The heavy stone pressing on my heart didn't seem so heavy anymore.

Coming out of Hibiscus Pavilion, the servant hurried over to report, "Princess, Eunuch He from the palace is here."

"Have you told me what you are here for?" Su Lingyue asked.

The servant said with a happy face: "Eunuch He didn't say, but he brought a deer here, probably to reward the prince and princess."

A deer?

Su Lingyue came to the hall and the butler was serving tea to Eunuch He.

She stepped forward, bowed, and asked with a smile, "Father-in-law, did your aunt ask you to come?"

Eunuch He also stood up and looked at Su Lingyue. His face, which showed some traces of time, was full of kindness.

"The princess used to love venison. Yesterday, Her Majesty saw that the princess didn't eat anything at the banquet. She was worried that it might not suit the princess' taste, so she asked this old servant to send a venison over. The princess can ask the chef in the palace to cook whatever flavor she likes."

The cooking skills of the imperial chefs in the palace have not changed, and the taste is the same every year.

She and Xiao Yu didn't start eating, but her aunt must have known that Su Lingyue had asked the chef from Kunning Palace to cook for them.

Su Lingyue was not able to tell the reason directly.

Eunuch He did not mention this matter, so I guess my aunt knew about it but just didn't expose it.

Thinking of this, she felt a little guilty.

Although her aunt treated her so well, she could not completely trust her.

But she really couldn't afford to gamble with Xiao Yu's life.

Su Lingyue followed what Eunuch He said and said, "Please thank my aunt for me, Eunuch. It's not that the palace banquet is bad, but the prince and I have not had a good appetite these days, so we asked the maids in Kunning Palace to prepare a few dishes. The banquet is in full swing, and I was afraid of disturbing my aunt's interest, so I didn't tell her in advance. I hope my aunt won't blame me."

Eunuch He smiled and said, "How could the queen blame the princess! But if the princess has time to come to the palace and spend more time with the queen, the queen will definitely be very happy."

Su Lingyue was deeply touched. Her aunt was really good to her.

She bowed and replied, "Okay, but the prince was tired yesterday and feels a little unwell. When the prince is better, I will go to the palace to see my aunt and thank her in person."

Eunuch He nodded and sighed, "When Prince Su was in Beijing, he was truly a brilliant young man with fine clothes and a vigorous horse. Everyone who saw him was amazed. Now his health is like this, it's really hard for him."

Su Lingyue moved the corners of her mouth but couldn't smile.

She had seen this young man with her own eyes, and he was truly a man of extraordinary talent.

But I was too young at that time and not familiar with Xiao Yu, so I never spoke to him.

This is really regrettable.

But on second thought, she liked Xiao Yu, and she liked him as he is now.

Xiao Yu is her husband now, he hasn't changed at all, so why should she be dissatisfied?

Eunuch He sat for a while and drank a cup of tea before leaving the palace.

Su Lingyue went to the kitchen to see the deer in person. It was a very big deer.

It is over one meter tall and about two meters long, with plum-shaped spots all over its body and a pair of antlers on its head.

Perhaps it was a little shy, so it didn't get close to Su Lingyue.

A pair of watery, innocent eyes looked at Su Lingyue, very lively and cute.

Su Lingyue blinked at it and sighed: "It's useless to look at me like this. Your whole body is a treasure, and it's good for the prince's health. I can only let you go the way you should go."

The deer was killed under the guidance of Doctor Lu, and Su Lingyue didn't dare to look.

Doctor Lu took some things away, saying that they were to make medicinal materials for Xiao Yu.

The cook took a small piece of the remaining venison and, following Su Lingyue's instructions, made a small pot of venison porridge, which he kept warm in a steamer, waiting for Xiao Yu to wake up and eat.
