Tong Xiling was wearing a goose yellow cloak on the outside, but she was wearing gauze inside the cloak, and her fair skin was faintly visible when she walked. Moreover, after she took off her hairpin, her long black hair covered her shoulders and back, making her look even more charming and alluring.

After a brief moment of surprise, Chu Heyi subconsciously looked at Xie Lin, a smile appeared on his lips, and then he picked up the teacup and brought it to his mouth.

Seeing that Tong Xiling was about to walk in front of Xie Lin, Xie Lin suddenly stood up with a big movement and "accidentally" knocked Tong Xiling away. However, he seemed not to notice it. He staggered and was about to fall to the ground. He supported himself on the table with one hand, and suddenly turned his body to stand in front of Chu Heyi and fell directly on Chu Heyi.

Xie Lin fell down and frowned, saying, "It hurts!"

Everything happened in a flash. Chu Heyi quickly put away the teacup, caught Xie Lin's fallen body with one hand, and held him in his arms.

After Tong Xiling steadied herself, she turned around and saw the scene of Xie Lin falling into Chu Heyi's arms. Chu Heyi seemed afraid that the teacup would fall on Xie Lin, so she held the teacup far away with her free hand.

Tong Xiling was stunned.

Chu Heyi said, "Wangshan, come quickly to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and send him back to Qianqiu Palace. Then ask Doctor Gansui to come and check his pulse."

Wang Shan was stunned. After hearing Chu Heyi's words, he reacted and stepped forward to help Xie Lin up from Chu Heyi's arms.

Chu Heyi put the teacup on the table, stood up and looked at Xie Lin leaning against Wangshan, pursed his lips and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince has been too tired these days, you should rest well."

Then he looked at Tong Xiling and said, "Miss Tong, the prince has had a weak body since he was a child. It's late at night now. Don't bother him anymore. Let him have a good rest."

Tong Xiling was stunned, and suddenly remembered that from the information she had obtained about Xie Lin, Xie Lin indeed had a weak health since childhood.

But, is Xie Lin really that weak? He faints easily? And he can't be humane?

Then, how did Xie Lin and Chu Heyi consummate their marriage?

Did they consummate their marriage?

Tong Xiling pursed her lips and said in a weak voice, "There is no need for the Crown Princess to remind me. I know better than anyone how the Crown Prince is doing!"

She turned around to help Xie Lin back to Qianqiu Palace, but Wangshan had already carried Xie Lin on his back and was about to walk out the gate.

Chu Heyi spoke again: "Your Highness, please remember to send the newly made cement to Changqing City. Building Changqing City is a very important matter right now!"

Wangshan strode out without looking back and answered directly: "I will tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince what the Crown Princess said!"

When the words fell, Wangshan and Xie Lin had disappeared at the door.

Tong Xiling glanced at Chu Heyi and thought, Xie Lin's health is so bad, and Chu Heyi told him not to forget to send the cement to Changqing City...

It seems that cement is really going to drain the Daqi treasury! Her task was completed smoothly, and Tong Xiling couldn't help but smile.

Tong Xiling hid her smile and quickly chased after him.

Back at Qianqiu Palace, Wangshan had just put Xie Lin on the bed when Gan Sui came over to check his pulse.

Tong Xiling stood by the bed and asked with concern, "Gansui Imperial Physician, how is the Crown Prince?"

Gan Sui replied: "Your Highness the Crown Prince fainted because he worked too hard and his body couldn't bear it. I will prescribe medicine for your Highness the Crown Prince to strengthen his body. As long as you take it regularly, your body will be in good shape in three to five years."

Three to five years…does it take that long?

A trace of annoyance flashed across Tong Xiling's eyes. How could such a handsome man be so useless?

But she quickly adjusted herself and said to Xie Lin softly, "Don't worry, Prince. Doctor Gan Sui said you can get better, so you will definitely get better. In the days to come, I will always be by your side and take care of you."

Gan Sui said, "Everyone should leave. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs to have a good rest. No one should disturb him."

Tong Xiling was really unwilling, but she had no choice but to withdraw.

Although she couldn't have sex with Xie Lin, Chu Heyi couldn't either. Thinking of this, Tong Xiling felt balanced.

However, she was still worried. After all, Chu Heyi was the real Crown Princess and Xie Lin's sweetheart. If she kept Chu Heyi in the palace and let her live with Xie Lin day and night - Xie Lin had fallen in love with Chu Heyi once, there was no guarantee that he would not fall in love with her a second time.

Judging from Xie Lin's current attitude towards Chu Heyi, this possibility is very high.

She must find a way to get rid of Chu Heyi.

……

Xie Lin, who was overworked, attended the morning court as usual the next day. Today's morning court was very long. Xie Lin asked the people from the Ministry of Works to draw up a route and use cement mortar to build roads, city walls, houses, etc.

When the morning court was over, the sun had already risen high.

As Xie Lin left the hall, Wen Tingshen called him back. The two of them went to Mingde Hall. Wen Tingshen said, "Your Highness, the riot yesterday has been stopped. However, during the investigation, I found something unusual."

Xie Lin sat down on the chair behind the desk, which was piled with memorials. He took a sip of water before saying, "Master Wen, please speak."

Wen Tingshen said: "This riot was actually started by a foreigner. The foreigner has been wandering around since he was a child. I have not yet found out where his ancestral home is. Moreover, before he came to Shengjing City, he passed through many prefectures... One of the prefectures was Yizhou.

"Before the New Year, a snowstorm hit Yizhou, and the local people were affected to a certain extent. But according to what I know, the situation is not that serious. However, many local officers and soldiers were killed. I always have a bad feeling - there is something unusual in Yizhou, but there is no actual and clear evidence. I want to go to Yizhou."

Although the snowstorm happened before the New Year, it was only a month or two ago. The road between the two places was destroyed, and the communication time was therefore infinitely extended. Moreover, local officials had to wait until the disaster was over before they could calculate the complete losses.

Therefore, the complete news was only delivered to Xie Lin a few days ago. After comparing the data and thinking of yesterday's atrocities, Wen Tingshen couldn't help but tell Xie Lin about his ominous premonition.

Xie Lin also noticed the loss data, which was too exaggerated.

He groaned for a moment and said, "If there really is any unusual movement, I'm afraid that if Lord Wen goes directly over, he will be in danger or alert the enemy."

Wen Tingshen frowned, the prince was right.

"If Lord Wen really wants to go, there are ways to do it." Xie Lin smiled.

Wen Tingshen said: "Your Highness, please give me some advice."
