Seeing Rong'er like this, Xuan Ye tightly embraced him and whispered, ”If you believe me, I will rest well and take good care of myself and the child in my womb, okay?”

Rong'er nodded heavily in Xuan Ye's arms. Xuan Ye murmured softly, ”It will be fine. It will definitely be fine.”

Wu Sangui's rebels had captured Yuanzhou, and the two armies were advancing on Hubei Hunan Province. As the troops were not well-prepared, they were being forced to retreat, and some ministers in the army had offered to release Wu Yingxiong and his sons, to re-enlist Wu Sangui, and had promised never to withdraw Wu Sanguan. Xuan Ye was in a state of disarray, and now Wu Sangui was going to rebel against his old tribe, so he had ordered Wu Sangui and his men to not be at ease.

The matter with Sai Yin also left him feeling uneasy. The consultant left the palace late last night and had yet to return. He did not know what the situation was like.

At noon, Xuan Ye was sitting in the study room of the Palace, thinking about the battle situation in the south and waiting for news from the Consultant Guild. Zhang DeShun suddenly rushed in, saying in a low voice with a happy expression, ”Your Majesty, the Consultant Guild and Liang Jiu have returned. They have even brought back the prince.”

”What?” Xuan Ye was overjoyed. ”You said that they found the prince. Where is he now?”

”They are waiting outside the palace.” Zhang DeShun replied.

”Great.” As Xuan Ye spoke, he stood up and walked towards the door of the hall. With a glance, he saw that the child in the adviser's arms was Cha Yin.

When the advisor saw the emperor walk out, he hastened to report, ”Your majesty, the prince is burning with fever. Please quickly inform the imperial physician.”

Xuan Ye walked up and wiped his son's burning forehead, then hurriedly instructed Liang Jiu Gonggong, ”Send the imperial physician to the Kunning Palace quickly, we'll carry the prince there.” As he spoke, he took the unconscious Sayin Cha from the advisory firm and personally carried him towards the Kunning Palace.

Rong'er was accompanying the empress at the East Warm Pavilion when she suddenly saw the emperor walk in with Sai Jiexi in his arms. Both she and the empress were shocked; this was too unexpected, and they really didn't expect Sai Jianxin to be found so quickly, and they were very happy as Rong'er hurriedly went forward to welcome him. Xuan Ye smiled at her, and then said with worry, ”Sai Jiexi's body is very hot, and we've already sent someone to call the imperial doctors.” As he said that, he placed the Snort Cha on the hot brick bed.

”It's great that Cha Yin is back.” The empress was relieved as she walked over to the child and wiped her forehead with her hand. ”Why is it so hot? What's wrong with you?”

Rong'er also hurriedly walked over to his son's side and wiped his son's forehead. He looked at Xuan Ye with a worried expression.

Xuan Ye said softly, ”Don't be in such a hurry. The imperial physician will be here soon. I don't know what's going on either.” He then looked at the advisory firm that had followed him and asked, ”Where did you find the prince?”

”Reporting to the emperor, from last night to today, this servant has been carefully searching for the prince among the rebels and their families, and in the end, this servant saw Li Si, who should be the one who brought the prince out of the palace. This servant does not dare to make a scene, and found Liang Jiu Gonggong, who was also sent by Crown Prince Zhu to the palace with Li Si, so he was not on guard, and Liang Jiu Gonggong talked to him for an entire night, and this morning, he found the prince's hiding place, so we rescued him and left him with the woman at the first opportunity.” The counselor briefly explained the process of saving the prince.

”Well done, advisory firm. This time, you and Liang Jiu Gong have done very well. I will definitely reward you in the future. However, you must keep this matter a secret.” Xuan Ye instructed.

”Don't worry Your Majesty, I've already told Liang Jiugong. This matter is known by the heavens and the earth, and there are still two masters who know. No one will know about it anymore. This servant and Liang Jiu Gonggong swear by their heads that they will never mention it to anyone.” The consultant knelt down and kowtowed as he spoke.

”Alright, get up. This Emperor will be using you again in the future.” Xuan Ye nodded.

At this moment, Zhang DeShun came in and reported, ”Your majesty, the imperial physician has arrived.”

”Send him in quickly!” Xuan Ye hurriedly instructed.
