Remarried to a top-tier playboy, her reborn ex-husband is filled with regret.

Kyoto.

In the evening, the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion had quieted down.

Xiao Fang had hot water prepared, and he personally knelt down to take off Yun Shuyao's shoes and socks.

Yun Shuyao felt somewhat helpless.

"I can do it myself."

Xiao Fang didn't respond, but instead pressed her feet into the hot water.

"I heard that pregnant women's feet swell in the later stages of pregnancy, so we need to start taking care of them in advance."

The water temperature was just right, warm but not scalding.

Yun Shuyao looked at him kneeling in front of her, splashing water on the back of her feet, and her heart softened terribly.

At that moment, a memory from her past life suddenly flashed through her mind, and her expression changed drastically.

"Xiao Fang."

"Um?"

"If I remember correctly, in my previous life, it was next month when the old emperor would suddenly fall seriously ill and die suddenly three months later."

Xiao Fang paused, then looked up.

"next month?"

"right."

Xiao Fang's expression changed slightly.

"We are currently procuring provisions. If the Emperor were to pass away, we will absolutely not launch a major military campaign during the period of national mourning."

He originally planned to prepare for another month before heading north to attack the Northern Hu royal court.

If things go smoothly, I can get back before Yun Shuyao gives birth.

However, if the emperor really dies next month, even if he has already led the army on the expedition, he will be recalled midway.

Yun Shuyao looked at his expression and asked in a low voice.

"Are the provisions still prepared?"

"Continue preparing."

Xiao Fang dried her feet, his movements still meticulous.

"I'll go to the palace tonight to talk to my elder brother, the Crown Prince, about this matter."

Yun Shuyao grabbed him.

"How could you tell him the emperor would die of a serious illness? Without any evidence, how could he believe you?"

Xiao Fang said.

"Using your previous terminology, it's about precognitive dreams."

Yun Shuyao nodded.

"This is the only way."

She asked again.

Will the Crown Prince believe it?

Xiao Fang straightened up.

"If I tell him, he will believe me."

Xiao Fang changed his clothes, took his waist token, and entered the palace that very night.

He first went to pay his respects to the old emperor and reported a few trivial political matters.

The old emperor was still in good spirits. After listening to his report, he gave a few more instructions on the defense of the northern border and then dismissed him.

Xiao Fang didn't leave.

"Uncle, I wish to visit my elder brother, the Crown Prince, again."

The old emperor glanced at him and nodded.

Go ahead.

He hasn't been feeling well these days. Now that you're here, please spend some time talking to him.

Xiao Fang accepted the order and withdrew, heading straight for the East Palace.

Xiao Fang stayed in the East Palace for half an hour.

No one knows what he and the Crown Prince discussed behind closed doors.

He left quickly, his expression as cold as when he arrived.

Inside the hall, the Crown Prince remained seated in his chair, not rising to see him off.

He stared blankly at the flickering candlelight.

His brows were furrowed tightly, as if he were pondering an extremely difficult matter.

Outside the door, the Crown Princess walked in quietly.

Seeing the Crown Prince's state, she quickly stepped forward and took his hand.

"Your Highness, has something happened?"

The prince snapped out of his daze, patted the back of her hand, and gave her a gentle smile.

"It's nothing, don't worry."

Go and fetch Sun's advisors for me.

The Crown Princess's eyes showed even more worry.

She opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't ask anything; she just nodded and left.

After that night, two people came to the Eastern Palace in succession.

Sun's advisor arrived first.

He and the Crown Prince talked for a long time behind closed doors.

Nobody knows what they said.

After Sun's advisor left, a Taoist priest from Qingfeng Temple came over.

He was only inside for a little over fifteen minutes before he took his leave.

After the Taoist priest left, the prince suddenly fell into a deep sleep.

He slept for three days and three nights.

The entire Crown Prince's palace was in a state of panic. Two different imperial physicians were consulted, but they couldn't find anything wrong.

The Crown Princess stayed by the bedside, never leaving her side.

On the morning of the fourth day, the prince suddenly woke up.

He sat up, his face rosy and his eyes bright, as if he were a completely different person.

"Help the orphan to rise."

He said.

The Crown Princess was both surprised and delighted, and quickly reached out to help her up.

The prince stood up on his own without her having to lift a finger.

He pushed aside the wooden wheelchair next to him.

"I won't use it anymore."

As soon as the news spread, the entire Eastern Palace was as festive as if it were New Year's Day.

The maids were all beaming with joy, walking with an air of elation.

The Crown Prince is the legitimate heir apparent.

Now that he has recovered from his illness and can stand up, he will be the emperor who ascends the throne in the future.

Those who served them naturally felt that they had finally made it through the tough times.

Only the Crown Princess smiled the least.

The crown prince began to eat normally, and could eat two bowls of rice per meal.

He stopped taking all the bitter medicinal soups and replaced them with various mild and nourishing ginseng soups and medicinal meals.

People become more energetic day by day, and even their thin bodies gradually become plump.

After gaining weight, he completely regained his former handsome appearance.

Everyone inside and outside the Eastern Palace was saying that the Crown Prince was doing very well.

That night, the prince was in high spirits.

He led the Crown Princess into the inner palace, lowered the curtains, and the two began their lovemaking.

After a long while, the crown prince fell into a deep sleep.

The bedchamber was very quiet.

The Crown Princess turned to the side, using the moonlight from the window to look at his face.

He didn't sleep well; his face was flushed with an unnatural redness.

There was still a fine sheen of sweat on his forehead.

The Crown Princess slowly reached out and gently touched his forehead.

The temperature is frighteningly high.

Her eyes suddenly reddened.

"Your Highness...did you still use that method after all?"

She murmured to herself, her voice so soft it was as if she were afraid of disturbing something.

A breeze picked up outside the window, rustling the leaves of the trees outside the hall.

There was no other sound.

A few days later, the Crown Prince began to personally oversee the mobilization of grain supplies in the northern border region.

Just then, the Northern Hu delegation, carrying the sincerity of seeking peace, entered the capital.
