Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 707 Entering the Palace (Second Update)
"What time is it now?!"

Fan Chengzhuo hurriedly interrupted him and asked urgently.

The servant was taken aback, seeing his anxious expression, and was puzzled. "You've been unconscious for a whole day, it's already 1:15 AM..."

A whole day has already passed!?
Fan Chengzhuo's heart skipped a beat, and he became even more nervous.

Without saying a word, he immediately threw off the covers and got out of bed, but before he could take a step, his whole body felt weak and he almost fell.

The servant rushed forward to support him. "Sir! Sir, you've just woken up, and your body is at its weakest. The doctor instructed yesterday that once you're awake, you must rest properly and absolutely cannot neglect your health as you have before, otherwise—"

Before he could finish speaking, alarm bells were already ringing in Fan Chengzhuo's mind.

He stared at the servant warily, his expression tense. "A doctor? What doctor!?"

Seeing that his expression was very wrong, the servant could only cautiously explain, "Well, it's just... Oh! Didn't you faint yesterday? The coachman didn't dare to delay and rushed you to find a doctor! But, but your condition was critical at the time, and several doctors at different clinics refused to admit you. Later, we finally found a doctor in the south of the city. He gave you medicine and then had someone send you back to your residence, and only then did you..."

Fan Chengzhuo felt a headache coming on every time he listened.

In the past, given his cautious nature, he would have definitely pursued the matter to the end, but in this situation, how could he care about such things?

"Prepare the car!"

He didn't have the patience to listen to the whole thing, coughed a few times, and immediately gave the order.

"I want to enter the palace!"

The servant was stunned and stammered, "You...you want to go to the palace? My lord, I'm afraid this won't do! Your body can't withstand such a ordeal!"

Since Fan Chengzhuo didn't attend the court assemblies in the previous few days, why be nervous about this one?

It's not too late to go after you've recovered.

Besides... Fan Chengzhuo is now just a fifth-rank official, with little influence and no say in court affairs, so why should he suffer from his illness?
Fan Chengzhuo became anxious, his brows furrowed, and he sternly reprimanded, "Do as I say!"

Although he was ill and extremely weak, his voice was inexplicably stern, filled with barely suppressed anger. The servant was immediately terrified, daring not to utter a word in rebuttal, and retreated with bowed head and shrugs. Fan Chengzhuo clutched his chest, breathing heavily.

He knew his body couldn't take it, but... he had to go!

……

royal palace.

A light sandalwood scent drifted silently through the room.

The flavor, which should have been calming and soothing, seemed to make people increasingly anxious.

Xiao Jiayi knelt on the cold ground, her head slightly bowed, motionless.

Outside the gate, palace servants occasionally turned around to look.

Although the gate was tightly closed and they couldn't see anything, it couldn't extinguish their curiosity and gossip.

— Xiao Jiayi actually returned to the palace one day!
Since the downfall of Consort Ru and the Second Prince, and the confiscation of the Jiang family's property, everyone thought that this once glorious princess would also fall into the abyss and never set foot here again.

Unexpectedly... she came again!

Xiao Jiayi naturally had no idea what those people outside were thinking, and she didn't care.

Right now, the only thing she cares about is...

"You should get up first."

The eldest princess sighed softly, a hint of sadness in her voice.

"Your health isn't good, how can you keep doing this?"

"
