The atmosphere inside and outside the court became more subtle.

Prince Xuan has been married for some time and is still living peacefully in Prince Xuan's Mansion in the capital.

The emperor had no intention of granting him a fiefdom or asking him to leave the capital.

From time to time, the ministers inquired from the cabinet and asked the academicians to make suggestions to the emperor.

It is against the ancestral system for an adult prince who has not been named crown prince to live in the capital for a long time.

The elders are also in a dilemma.

The emperor could not have forgotten this.

Since he didn't let King Xuan go, it was certainly because of him.

It is their duty for the Yanguan and the elders to submit suggestions to the emperor, but if they knew that the emperor did not want to grant land to King Xuan, and they continued to go to the emperor again and again, they would definitely make the emperor unhappy.

King Zhao has a fief, and it stands to reason that after the New Year, he should return to his fief and wait until the next time the emperor calls him back.

But during the Chinese New Year, the imperial concubine was ill, so King Zhao excused herself to stay in the capital and did not leave.

It was almost March, but the two princes still had no intention of moving, and the emperor was indifferent.

This made all the civil and military officials unable to sit still.

Some took the initiative to show their kindness to the three kings, while others secretly went to check on the six kings' condition.

After the beginning of spring, the weather became warmer and warmer day by day. After the injury on Gu Changyuan's back recovered, he continued to work as the left minister in the Ministry of Household Affairs.

The ministers observed secretly and found that His Highness King Xuan looked no different from before.

He still has handsome features and is as pretty as a girl. Although his figure has become thinner, he seems to have grown taller. He is very hands-on, serious and responsible, and very efficient. He can deal with officials from various ministries with ease, which fully demonstrates his ability to handle government affairs.

So, what about his disease?

After all, you can't tell from the appearance at all.

Maybe there is still one person in this world who can know the real situation.

That is the woman who is closest to King Xuan.

At present, it seems that there are two obvious ones.

One is the daughter of Zhang Gaoqiu and the concubine of King Xuan. As for the other one, someone with a little more care can also find out.

When every prince reaches the age of sixteen, he will be assigned to serve as a palace maid.

King Xuan is no exception.

Someone soon found out that the palace maid's name was Hong'er.

Unfortunately, Hong'er is no longer in the palace and was sent back to the countryside.

For those who dream of a successful career, it is not difficult to go to the countryside to find a palace maid who has left the palace.

All you need to do is find out the palace maid's hometown and then go to the local government office to check the registration list.

When Hong'er was found, her belly was bulging out and she was holding one in her hand.

When she had an affair with a guard and was released from the palace, it was naturally impossible for the guard to marry her as promised. The guard was so frightened that he fell ill and died soon after.

Hong'er cried a lot, wiped away her tears and returned to her hometown. After the money she had saved in the palace was plundered by her brother and sister-in-law, they sold it to a widower for twenty taels of silver.

The widower was in his forties and already had two sons and a daughter. Not long after Hong'er got married, she became pregnant.

Many people suspected that Hong'er had lost her innocence before she got married, and that the child was not the widower's at all.

According to common sense, a girl from the palace cannot marry so badly.

Unless she was indiscreet, made some big mistake, and was kicked out.

If you think about it this way, it makes sense.
