The Crown Prince finished the ceremony and returned to the palace early.
He intended to go directly to the Imperial Garden, but was stopped halfway by people from Consort Xu's quarters.
It was a palace maid serving Xu He closely, her face full of anxiety.
"Your Highness, the Consort suddenly had severe abdominal pain and is bleeding, please go see her at once."
The Crown Prince's first reaction was that the Imperial Concubine and the Ninth Prince had made a move, trying to drag Xu He down with them.
"Is the situation serious?"
The maid replied, "The Consort got her monthly cycle, but this time it's different from before. She never had abdominal pain previously, and today she's so weak that she can't even walk."
The Crown Prince's eyes sharpened.
Xu He was his savior; he brought her into the Eastern Palace, and he couldn't ignore this.
Even if the Imperial Concubine and others intended to use Xu He against him, he had to make the visit.
"Lead the way."
