When Emperor Jing saw her looking so sick and weak, he felt even more distressed for her.

"Anan, why don't you come to the palace to recuperate? I'll ask the imperial doctor to take care of you."

Emperor Jing looked at her pale face and said sincerely, the guilt in his heart reaching its peak at this moment.

Perhaps I have also experienced the pain of losing a child, so I can better understand Anan's original pain.

Retribution, maybe this is all retribution.

Emperor Jing thought.

The eldest princess shook her head and politely refused: "Thank you for your kindness, brother. I should have listened to your brother and asked the imperial doctors to take care of my sister. However, there are many rules in the palace and my sister really doesn't like to be restrained, so she should stay here." Let’s recuperate in the mansion.”

The eldest princess never raised her eyes again.

Emperor Jing only thought that she was weak because she had just woken up, so he didn't say anything more. He just asked her to have a good rest, sent a bunch of rare medicinal materials, and left the eldest princess's mansion.

Bai Zhaoyi looked at the eldest princess's bloodless face, sat beside her bed and softly comforted her:

"Aunt Nan, just wait, it won't be long."

Aunt You's heart was pounding immediately after hearing the girl's voice. She looked at Bai Zhaoyi's profile in shock but quickly calmed down.

No matter what the princess does, it must be for the sake of the eldest princess. She is the person close to the eldest princess, so she will put the eldest princess first in everything.

Besides, she couldn't see the eldest princess crying so sadly.

The eldest princess raised her eyes and took a deep look at Bai Zhaoyi's firm expression, nodded subconsciously, and raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face.

"it is good."

Since Ah Zhao said so, she would believe her.

……

Within a few days, Mrs. Bai's body was completely exhausted.

When she woke up for the last time, no matter how much she asked about Bai Shaoyuan's whereabouts, Aunt Qin still didn't have the heart to tell her the fact. She just made an excuse and excused herself.

In the afternoon, when Aunt Qin came to Mrs. Bai's bed again with a bowl of medicine, she found that she had quietly closed her eyes forever.

Bai Zhaoyi didn't feel any sadness or surprise. He just gave a sum of money to arrange the funeral arrangements for Mrs. Bai, and then sent Aunt Qin to a village to retire, and the matter was over.

From now on, there will be no more Bai family in the capital.

The long and harsh winter passed quickly, and the weather suddenly became warmer as spring entered.

It was rainy in early spring, and the patter was like a veil sweeping across the sky.

Bai Zhaoyi poured a cup of tea, then opened the carved mahogany window and leaned against the window to watch the rain.

Good news continued to come from the border areas, and Bai Zhaoyi received a safe letter from Jiang Que every five days.

The letter did not mention much about the war, but talked about a bunch of trivial matters in a long-winded manner, and at the same time, he viciously reported the evil situation that had led to the incident.

Bai Zhaoyi looked at the letter in his hand with gentle eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve.

She knew that Jiang Que must have heard about what happened recently, so he used different tricks to make her happy every time.

It's just that the recent war seems to be a bit tense, and the handwriting looks a bit sloppy and hasty.

Bai Zhaoyi sat in front of the window with a pen and replied a letter. At the same time, he also wrote a letter to Qian Ji. Then he put down the brush in his hand and took another sip of hot tea.

"Miss, the ministers in the court were a little louder today about the establishment of a prince earlier. I heard that His Majesty was furious on the spot."

Sandalwood brought a plate of cakes and fruits and placed them in Bai Zhaoyi's hand. She also added some hot tea to her tea cup and then stood aside.

These days, Emperor Jing's body and complexion have been getting worse and worse, and the ministers in the court are starting to make moves again.

Since the death of the third prince, everyone can see how uncomfortable His Majesty feels, and he even looks like this because of his illness.

But if no one of them brings up the matter of establishing a prince, if your majesty one day...

Then Jingguo will really be in chaos.

But in the eyes of Emperor Jing, who was already somewhat sensitive and suspicious, this meant that these people thought he was about to die. He became very angry on the spot and scolded all those who proposed to establish a prince.

He's not dead yet!

Are the forces behind these people so anxious to replace him?

Bai Zhaoyi smiled and looked at the drizzle outside the window, admiring the spring scenery and said: "There is nothing wrong with establishing a prince early, but it is best to establish the right person."

Sandalwood didn't know what other ideas her lady had in mind, so she just nodded after thinking about it for a while.

The King of Qi was driven to the fiefdom and could not return to the capital without summons. The fourth prince was once again a dandy who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, leaving only the relatively young fifth prince.

The fourth prince will definitely have no chance of being crowned emperor in this life, and it will be up to Emperor Jing to choose the remaining two princes.

Presumably King Qi, who was far away in the fiefdom at this time, did not completely give up.

After all, he is the only adult prince with some ability now.

Bai Zhaoyi suddenly felt uneasy for some reason, but this feeling passed by so quickly that she didn't even have time to capture the reason.

The girl's pretty brows frowned slightly, and her eyes became a little more solemn as she said in a deep voice: "Has there been any unusual movement at King Qi's side recently?"

Sandalwood and Jingzhe looked at each other, then shook their heads and said: "There has been no news from King Qi's eyeliner for the time being, so I guess there is nothing unusual."

King Qi has already been driven to the fiefdom, what kind of trouble can he cause?

Zhuli and Lixia thought indifferently.

Bai Zhaoyi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The fifth prince's biological mother died young and he is now being raised by the concubines. His character and courage are quite good.

"Miss, the Queen has been ill for a long time. Do you think there will be any movement from her this time when she is crown prince?"

The queen now has no legitimate son under her knees. No matter which prince succeeds to the throne, she will be the empress dowager.

It’s just that there are two types of empress dowagers.

Bai Zhao thought for a moment. She had only a handful of encounters with the Queen in both her previous life and this life, so she could not accurately calculate whether the Queen would do anything.

It's just that she felt that the queen seemed to be really shaken by Xiao Yan's death, and she hadn't heard anything from her for a long time.

"I don't know. If she can make any move, the most she can do is to raise the fifth prince under her knees and recognize him as his legitimate son. Prince Qi has already married and established a career, which is far beyond her control. What's more, Xiao Yan and Xiao Teng really don't get along. It’s been a long time.”

Bai Zhaoyi thought for a moment and gave this answer.
