The page in Xie Jingxi's hands did not move for a long time, as it was rolled up in a daze. When Gu Yun finished, he looked at her and couldn't help but laugh, ”What are you thinking about so much for?”

”I'm not thinking of anything. I just feel that this is very good.” She got up from the bed. Seeing that he was a bit tired, she asked, ”Have you been very busy recently? How about we go back to the house? You must be tired from running back and forth like this.”

Gu Yun had been extremely busy recently, ever since the matter with the crown prince, the His Majesty seemed to have placed more importance on him. The corruption cases that the Former Crown Prince had involved, as well as the various extermination efforts of the princes' faction, were all thrown towards the Ministry of Justice, wanting to turn him into a spinning top. It was just that Gu Yun never spoke of it in front of her, and it was rare that she would be happy here, so he always wanted to tell her to stay for a while longer.

Gu Yun washed his hands and changed his clothes before going over to hug her. Leaning on her shoulder, he let out a sigh of satisfaction, ”I have indeed been busy, but we have to reshuffle due to the fall of the princes and sons of princes, we have to arrange everything properly and put in some effort. Also, the concubines in the palace have just diagnosed a marriage and all the powers have started to think about it, you can do it yourself.”

Once a prince was born, his Shen Family would become as bright as the sun in the sky. If the Second Prince succeeded the throne in the future, it was unknown just how many families would be in trouble if their Shen Family gained momentum. According to Xie Jingxi's knowledge, it was not just a day or two since Shen Family was a power that reigned supreme in the southwest, but it was at least the first that they did not like.

After the crown prince passed away, the next person to be groomed was naturally the eldest son of the emperor, and in terms of talent alone, the second son of the emperor could indeed be of great use. The second son of the emperor could indeed be of great use, and in terms of talent alone, the second son of the emperor could be of great use.

”I think the empress still wants to fight another round.” After Xie Jingxi straightened the relations, he said, ”The family background of Huang Sanzi's mother is weak. If the Empress were to support Huang Sanzi, the situation in the future is also uncertain.”

Gu Yun did not deny it, ”You saw it correctly, the Queen's family is not to be underestimated, and the Former Crown Prince did not choose to give up, but everything is still uncertain. I think that His Majesty is not in a hurry, and is still thinking about having a few more children, especially with Xiao Shen, who is pregnant, he is more than happy to go and create more people.”

In other words, the His Majesty was still spectating on the Shen Family. It seemed that the crown prince had been crippled, and the situation was not as clear as it was in the past. Instead, it had become more complicated.

But right now, Xie Jingxi was still worried about Gu Yun's health. On the other hand, Gu Yun had always said that staying here was better than staying at the Marquis Mansion, and was more comfortable, so she let him go. They stayed like this until the birthday of Lady Zeng in July, when the couple packed up and headed back home.

When she was in the manor, she didn't feel that it was hot and stuffy the moment she entered. Xie Jingxi feared the heat, so when she entered the Marquis Mansion's room, she immediately felt a wave of hot air assaulting him, and wanted to move him back into the manor.

Ming Yu had already opened the window to let in the fresh air, and upon sher return, she had closed the window, even covering the curtains. Only then did she feel better, since Xie Jingxi had been greedy in the past, and he had never been able to touch a single fruit of ice before.

”Young lady, I specially made a Silver Ear Soup and only brought it to you after letting it cool down. Drink some to remove the heat.”

It was better than nothing, Xie Jingxi drank the half cup of warm silver ear soup, the heat in her heart was suppressed a little, ”Is Fang Dai there?”

”Big Sister Fang Dai is here, I'll go call her over right now.”

Xie Jingxi was not in the manor, so the big and small matters of the manor were all managed by Fang Dai. She had a good way of doing things, and with Xie Jingxi's prestige in the manor, she had won over a large group of mother managers, so things went smoothly for her.

Fang Dai came over to pay her respects, ”It's been a while since we've seen each other, my lady's complexion has improved again.”

”If it wasn't for my wife's birthday banquet, I wouldn't want to come back at all. With you here, you've really helped me greatly. Come, sit down and rest.”

Fang Dai sat down beside her and took the tea from Ming Yu, ”I'm still alright, this Marquis' Wife's birthday feast is entirely arranged by you, I'm so happy that I have nothing to do, I'll just occasionally give you a hand.”
