"You guys should keep an eye on the Xu Mansion. I'm afraid that if something unexpected happens, we will be caught off guard."

"Yes."

Watching Ying Wu go out, Xu Yixing leaned his head back and leaned firmly on the back of the chair. Although Lu Anyuan deliberately reduced his presence, the voices in the court asking for the establishment of a crown prince had never diminished, especially since the emperor was poisoned again for some unknown reason a year ago and was said to be in poor health, but no one dared to openly force the emperor to establish a crown prince.

It was eventually discovered that the poisoning was caused by a maid in the palace. It was said that she was a princess of some small country or something. When the Great Xia army attacked and destroyed her homeland, she sneaked into the palace and poisoned the emperor.

Xu Yixing didn't know whether this explanation was true or not, but she knew that many people were held responsible for this matter, and a group of palace maids were released from the palace at once. Even the queen was angered by the empress dowager for her mismanagement of the palace, and she appeared less and less in public.

"I don't know if Lu Anyuan has changed his mind after seeing so many disadvantages of being an emperor..." Xu Yixing laughed at herself. If the throne of emperor could be given up so easily, she wouldn't have to worry about it.

"Siqin, please ask Mr. Yao to come over!"

Although Xu Yixing was still not very interested in having a baby, since she had promised Lu Anyuan, it was only right for Mr. Yao to come and take a look. She had taken so many medicines made by Ying Si at that time, and she had no idea how her body was now.

Mr. Yao gently placed his hand on her wrist, paused for a few moments, and then put his hand down: "Is it Your Highness who is asking about fertility?"

"Who else to ask except him?"

Mr. Yao heard the complaints and smiled: "I am also surprised, why is it that only our prince cares about this matter, and you yourself have been so-called?"

“Because I don’t care.”

Mr. Yao looked from Xu Yixing's face to his, as if he wanted to know why this man thought so. After a while, he said, "Madam is in good health. If you want to have a child, it will be around the corner."

"Okay, got it. Then I'll congratulate your prince first." Xu Yixing clasped his hands and made a gesture of congratulations, but anyone could see that he didn't mean it at all.

Mr. Yao should have gotten used to Xu Yixing's way of speaking a long time ago, but deep down he couldn't help but be curious, what was the reason?

"Madam, please tell His Highness the good news in person. I believe he will be very happy."

"Of course. I won't see you off." Xu Yixing rolled up his sleeves and looked like he was seeing someone off. Mr. Yao had no choice but to leave with his medicine box on his back.

"Madam, why do you always speak so coldly to Mr. Yao? He is a skilled doctor and a handsome man. You say you..."

"You like him? No way, I thought it was A'da. If you like him, why don't I tell Lu Anyuan and ask him to marry you?" Xu Yixing's eyes lit up. This girl has reached the age to get married, but there has been no suitable man. It's really worrying.

"What! I was talking seriously to the Madam, why are you teasing me like this!" Siqin threw away her handkerchief and turned her back.

"I'm talking about serious matters. Of course, the one you like is much better than someone I randomly pick. If you miss this opportunity, you'll never get it again. Think it over before you answer me."

Siqin said sternly: "I really don't like Mr. Yao, but I don't understand why you treat him like this."

Xu Yixing got the answer and felt a little bored for a moment. He replied in a sad voice: "Look at him, it's been three or four years, and he hasn't changed at all since the first time I met him. I don't know what elixir of life he used to keep him going, but he didn't even share it with me. How can I say anything good!"

"Oh~" Siqin showed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "So the lady is jealous that Mr. Yao looks younger than you!"

"Bah! Where's your elbow going?" He was about to pinch Siqin twice, but unfortunately she dodged quickly, smiling happily, and did not give Xu Yixing a chance to "attack".

"Who are you jealous of? Tell me." Suddenly someone pushed the door open. It was Lu Anyuan, his face full of joy at the moment, not trying to hide it.

Siqin bowed and left consciously, leaving the hall to the two of them.

"Why did I hear you guys discussing Mr. Yao? Has he been here?"

Xu Yixing knew from his expression that this jealous person was having an attack again, so he stood up deliberately and said, "Why, you've kicked him out of the house, but you're still worried that I'll have an affair with him?"

"What nonsense are you talking about." Lu Anyuan clamped Xu Yixing and buried his head in her neck, rubbing it, showing his intimacy.

"I was right, wasn't I?" Xu Yixing reached over to touch his head and rubbed it hard, ruffling his hair. "He came here and told me to tell you that I'm well again. Congratulations."

"Really?" Lu Anyuan looked up in surprise, his excitement evident in his words, but he still followed up with a few more words: "Why don't you ask your Ying Si to come over and take a look, or find a few more imperial doctors to take a look?"

"You can't even trust your own people? Besides, as for finding an imperial physician, how many imperial physicians have been hired by the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager in recent years? Aren't they all worried about you?"

"That's right. If those people with ulterior motives get to know about this, they will send more people to me." What he wanted in his heart was finally verified to be a fact. Lu Anyuan's joy even spread to Xu Yixing. Maybe not everyone will repeat their mother's tragedy?

"Madam, that's great. You don't know how bad the rumors have been over the years. But you've worked so hard. You've been taking medicine for so long, and now you can finally stop!"

"Yes. By the way, what did the father-in-law ask you to do just now?" Xu Yixing's joy only lasted for a moment, and he quickly changed the subject.

"The Emperor has summoned me. Not only me, but also several important officials are all present. The Emperor wants to find someone to entertain the troops on behalf of the Emperor. Didn't he just discuss this?"

Xu Yixing turned around and struggled out of his arms, facing him and tilted his head: "Let you go?" His Majesty has fought many wars in recent years. Fortunately, the warring countries have been fighting for a long time and have no wealth, which makes the Great Xia army seem invincible and has made many military achievements.

If he really said that he was visiting the troops on behalf of the emperor, wouldn't that be tantamount to acknowledging that he had a special status among the princes, equivalent to that of the crown prince?

Lu Anyuan's expression looked a little strange, a little proud, a little complacent but deliberately teasing her: "Well, I didn't say it explicitly, but I just went to discuss it. Do you want me to go?"

"I only care whether you can take me with you if you go. This capital city is too boring. I want to go out for a walk. I didn't go three years ago. If I have the chance now, I still want to go."

"Oh!" Lu Anyuan pretended to be enlightened. He had really forgotten that she wanted to go to the battlefield with him. She hadn't even gone out much in the past few years. She must be bored. "It's not difficult. If my father sends me, I will take you with me."
