After the eldest sister-in-law of a fishing family became a widow, her disabled younger brother-in-l

Chapter 161 Let's go together?

After the meal, Jiang Yuyue finally regained some strength. Fortunately, she was usually healthy and hadn't suffered too much during childbirth, so she was much more energetic now.

"Bring the child closer so I can see him."

Jasmine immediately picked up the child and stepped forward. By the candlelight in the room, Jiang Yuyue examined the child's face.

The baby was fast asleep, his rosy cheeks were very cute, but his tightly furrowed brows gave him a maturity beyond his years, making him somewhat similar to Xie Jinglan.

"The young master is so handsome! The two midwives just now praised his appearance highly and were vying to hold him and share in his good fortune."

Jasmine smiled and said, "But Miss, the young master hasn't been named yet. Have you thought of one?"

"Name?"

Jiang Yuyue gently stroked the child's face with her fingertips, "How is Xie Jinglan?"

Jasmine paused upon hearing this, exchanged a glance with Xiaoliu, and although she didn't want her young mistress to worry, she also didn't want to hide Xie Jinglan's condition.

"I glanced at it when I went to deliver the food just now."

Xiao Liu said, "The Third Young Master has fainted again, but his high fever has subsided. I don't know the specifics. Ji Xiang only said that he is taking care of him and that I and Miss don't need to worry about them."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuyue pursed her lips. It would be a lie to say that she wasn't worried about Xie Jinglan's health. Even though she had long anticipated the scene of his departure, he was still someone she had spent so much time with, and she still felt somewhat reluctant to leave him.

The only consolation was that he at least witnessed the birth of his child.

"In that case, let Jixiang take good care of him."

Jiang Yuyue was unable to get out of bed at the moment and could not go to visit him. She also understood Xie Jinglan's feelings. "Remember to prepare the medicine and other things for him. Make sure there is no shortage. As for the child's name... let's ask him for his opinion tomorrow."

After all, Xie Jinglan's life is being kept alive only by Baili Zixuan's prescriptions, and that's all she can do.

……

Meanwhile, in the other courtyard, Yueying had already taken advantage of the darkness to bring Jiang Feili into the house.

Seeing Xie Jinglan's near-death state, a hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Feili's eyes, while Jixiang hurriedly stepped forward.

"Young Marquis, please take a look at His Highness. Although it's said to be an antidote, the medicine is far too potent. If I didn't know this was a side effect, I might have mistaken His Highness for..."

"Don't panic, help him up."

Jiang Feili waved his hand, signaling him to be quiet. After Jixiang helped Xie Jinglan sit up, he took out a roll of silver needles from somewhere, took out several of the thin silver needles, and gently inserted them into several acupoints on Xie Jinglan's arm.

Xie Jinglan, whose eyes had been tightly closed, twitched slightly, as if something was churning inside him. Then he shuddered violently, and with a low cough, a mouthful of ink-black blood gushed from his mouth, immediately filling the air with a rusty, fishy smell.

"Your Highness!"

Ji Xiang was shocked, but as he spat out the mouthful of black blood, Xie Jinglan, who had been unconscious, slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes regained their clarity.

"Okay, that should clear up most of the toxins from your body."

Jiang Feili clapped his hands and removed the silver needles from Xie Jinglan's arm, storing them away carefully.

Jixiang was somewhat surprised, "Young Marquis, is it really done like this?"

"That's natural."

Jiang Feili pointed at Xie Jinglan, "He should be able to walk on his own by now, but it will take some time for him to fully recover. If we start recuperating according to my prescription today, he should be able to recover to his previous state within a month."

These words finally put Ji Xiang at ease, while Jiang Feili looked at Xie Jinglan and couldn't help but sigh as he thought about how he had just been on the verge of death.

"I really didn't expect that. I really underestimated that kid. He was so ruthless to his own royal uncle."

Jiang Feili clicked his tongue and said, "If you weren't physically strong, you probably wouldn't have made it through these last two days."

Upon hearing this, Xie Jinglan's eyes instantly sharpened like blades, revealing a chilling aura. A cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth. "Since he failed, I will repay him a thousandfold."

"But are you sure you want to start recuperating now?"

Jiang Feili said, "Now that the remaining poison in your body has been cleared, your physical condition will definitely recover quickly. In the eyes of the woman next door, you are a dying person. If your complexion gets better and better, I'm afraid it will be impossible to hide it, right? Why don't you just come clean now? Anyway, as the dignified Prince Jing, she would be overjoyed if she knew."

“If you can make things clear with her, we can go back to the capital together, right? It will be more convenient for you to recuperate at Prince Jing’s residence. It’s so uncomfortable to stay in this remote and impoverished place.”

Xie Jinglan remained noncommittal about his words. If Jiang Yuyue were truly such a shallow woman, he wouldn't have bothered to hide her for so long.

Jiang Feili looked at him without answering, her eyes filled with even more inquiry. "You haven't had enough of this childish game yet, have you? I say, Your Highness Prince Jing, don't forget you still have important matters to attend to."

"You have been away from the capital for almost a year. Although the court seems calm on the surface, there are undercurrents. If you don't go back soon, things may really change."

"And don't blame me for not warning you, His Majesty's health is already deteriorating, and he's getting weaker every day. Even my senior brother has said so. You probably really need to start preparing now."

Hearing Jiang Feili's words, Xie Jinglan simply nodded, "I understand."

Seeing his expression, Jiang Feili knew that Xie Jinglan must have his own plans. He helplessly shrugged and said, "Alright, alright. Anyway, our Prince Jing always does things his own way and can't listen to advice. I've done what I needed to do, so I'll take my leave now."

After saying this, Jiang Feili took a step to leave, but Xie Jinglan called him back.

"Wait a minute."

"Oh?"

Jiang Feili raised an eyebrow. "Could it be that you've changed your mind and are planning to come with me?"

"She has already given birth."

Xie Jinglan looked up at him and said, "Go over there and take a look to make sure the poison I've been given has affected the baby."

"She gave birth!?"

Jiang Feili looked shocked. "Boy or girl?"

"unimportant."

Xie Jinglan emphasized, "Go and confirm it."

"What's there to confirm?"

Jiang Feili has always been the type to avoid trouble. "Didn't you ask me before you agreed to make the deal with her? This poison isn't contagious, so how could the child be in danger? Just put your mind at ease."
