Situ Lin stood up and instructed the imperial physician,"The princess has just woken up. Hurry up and carefully diagnose the princess.”
"Your humble subject obeys." The imperial physician stood up and walked to Yuyan's bedside.
Situ Lin stepped forward to help the Empress Dowager up. The two of them moved to the side. The imperial physician sat by the bed and carefully took Yuyan's pulse. After a while, the imperial physician nodded his head gently.
After the imperial physician finished taking her pulse, Situ Lin stood up and quickly walked to the bed. He looked at Yu Yan who was lying on the bed and asked anxiously," How is it? Is the princess alright?"
"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, don't worry. Her Highness 'body is fine. She only needs to rest for a few days and her body will recover completely.”The imperial physician walked in front of the empress dowager and the emperor and carefully bowed.
"Good, good, good. As long as Zi Xuan is fine, then zhen and the empress dowager can rest assured.”Hearing the imperial physician's words, the Emperor and Empress Dowager let out a sigh of relief and smiled.
"Quickly go down and brew medicine for the princess.”Situ Lin quickly instructed the imperial physician behind him and waved at him gently.
"Yes, I will take my leave." After the imperial physician bowed, he left Zhao Yang Palace.
"Mother, since Zi Xuan's body is no longer in danger, you should return to the palace to rest. Let them take care of Zi Xuan here, and your son will help you back to Fu Ning Palace.”Situ Lin said with concern.
"Xuan 'er, rest well. This widow will come and see you again tomorrow.”The empress dowager gently instructed Yuyan as she tidied up the cotton back covering her body.
"Yes." Yu Yan could only smile at the Empress Dowager's loving kindness. She nodded obediently and said nothing.
Situ Lin and the empress dowager left Bright Sun Palace together.
After they left, Yu Yan turned to look at the palace maid by her bed. She wanted to ask her some questions.
What was the situation now? What had this princess experienced in the past? What kind of temperament did she have?
She had to understand all of this clearly. Only after she knew this would she be able to live a peaceful and happy life in this unfamiliar dynasty. She would not have to live in fear every day, afraid that someone would see through her and suspect her identity.
"Come here, I have something to ask you.”Yu Yan looked at the palace maid standing by her bed and called out softly.
"Princess, please instruct me." Hearing Yu Yan call her, the palace maid quickly turned around and took a few steps forward, bowing to Yu Yan.
"What exactly happened? Why am I lying on the bed and making the Empress Dowager and the Emperor worry for so long?”Yu Yan asked.
"Princess, don't you remember?”The palace maid was surprised and panicked when she heard Yu Yan ask her these questions.
"I don't know what happened. After I woke up, I can't remember anything that happened in the past. I only feel that my mind is blank.”Yu Yan pretended to be helpless and shook her head.
" Ah, princess, you, you..." The palace maid was frightened by what Yu Yan said.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. You just need to tell me what happened and don't ask anything else.”Yu Yan warned her sternly.
"Yes." The palace maid didn't ask further after hearing what Yu Yan had said.
" Princess..." The palace maid told Yu Yan everything that had happened to the little princess.
Yu Yan learned from the palace maid that this year was the fifth year of the Tianqi Dynasty. The emperor, Situ Lin, was the third son of the late emperor and was only 25 years old.
Her name was Situ Zixuan, and she was eighteen years old this year. She was the only princess of Tianqi Kingdom and was doted on by the Emperor and Empress Dowager. She was the pearl of the Empress Dowager's palm and was doted on by thousands of people.
Other than the current Emperor, Zi Xuan had another elder brother. He was the fourth son of the late Emperor, Prince Yu Situ Mo, who was twenty-four years old.
Situ Mo was handsome, elegant, and well-versed in both martial arts and martial arts. His appearance was the best in the world, and he was the object of admiration for many young girls.
Like the Emperor and Empress Dowager, he doted on Zi Xuan very much. The relationship between the two siblings was especially good.
All this time in the palace, it was because she was doted on by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor that Zi Xuan's personality had been naughty since she was young. Even the Emperor and Empress Dowager couldn't control her.
When the servants in the palace did things in front of her, they were all very careful, afraid of angering this little princess and causing trouble.
If it was even more serious, they would suffer a beating, which was quite similar to the eighth princess of the celestial heavens.
From this palace maid, Yu Yan also learned the reason why she had been unconscious for a few days.
When the palace maid finished telling Yu Yan the whole story, she couldn't help but feel shocked.
This matter was simply soul-stirring and unbelievable.
He did not expect that such a thing would happen to this little princess.
The Great General of the Tianqi Dynasty, Nangong Rui, was the son of the current Left Minister. He was only twenty-two years old and had outstanding achievements at a young age. Now, he was conferred the title of Great General and held military power. His sister was also the current Empress.
Nangong Rui had entered the palace since he was young and had a very good relationship with the Emperor Situ Lin and Prince Yu Situ Mo. In private, the three of them called each other brothers and spoke freely.
Nangong Rui was born into a prestigious family and was the son of the prime minister. His sister was the empress. He was young and promising, and his martial arts skills were strong. He was handsome and unrestrained, and he used his troops like a god. He had captured the hearts of countless girls and won their hearts.
Some of the officials in the court had their eyes on Nangong Rui's boundless future and the fact that he was the Emperor's good brother. They were eager to send their daughters to the Prime Minister's residence and betroth them to Nangong Rui so that they would have a backer in the court in the future.
All along, the Empress Dowager had been quite satisfied with Nangong Rui and had long planned to recruit him as the Emperor's son-in-law of the Tianqi Kingdom and betroth the 18-year-old Princess Zi Xuan to him.
This way, the relationship between Nangong Rui, Situ Lin, and Situ Mo would go up a level. They would turn from good brothers into their brother-in-law, and Situ Zixuan would also be happy. This was undoubtedly not a good way to get the best of both worlds.
Just a few days ago, the Empress Dowager seemed to be unable to wait any longer and decided to let Situ Lin issue a decree to make Nangong Rui the Fuma of the Tianqi Kingdom.
Let Nangong Rui and Situ Zixuan choose a date to get married. From then on, she wouldn't have to worry about this matter all day long.
However, what was unexpected was that Situ Lin had just asked the eunuch to read out the imperial edict in the court.
Nangong Rui didn't feel grateful at all. Instead, he stood rooted to the ground like he was scared out of his wits.
Nangong Rui was stunned for a long time. When he came back to his senses, he suddenly knelt on the ground and publicly rejected the Empress Dowager's betrothal. He went against the Empress Dowager's decree and refuted Situ Lin's decree.
In the court, in front of all the civil and military officials, Nangong Rui actually publicly violated the imperial edict and did not take Situ Lin seriously at all.
