Episode 9: Shen tide and the victim fell off the cliff

The wind and snow in Hanshan had been rolling for three months. Xiao Huayong traveled all over the ice cliffs and finally found the ice soul grass that could cure strange poisons for Shen Xihe.The cold poison had already penetrated his meridians. The moment he got the antidote, he fell straight down in the snow. When he opened his eyes again, there was no trace of concern for his injuries in his eyes, only the surging thoughts - he was afraid that Shen tide and Xinghou would spend the rest of their lives repaying the favor of saving their lives.Before dawn the next day, he held on to his sick body and went to see her. But as soon as he stepped out of the palace door, the world in front of him suddenly faded out of color, the red walls turned into blurred gray shadows, and the red lanterns under the eaves were only a halo.He stood holding the pillar for a long time, and finally returned to the palace quietly.

The result of Dr. Xie's pulse diagnosis was like a piece of ice, sinking into the hearts of both of them: the cold poison invaded the eye pulses, and from then on, all the colors in the world were only black and white blur in his eyes. What was even more dangerous was that his heart pulse was also slowly failing, and the remaining situation only lasted a few years.Xiao Huayong looked at the hazy skylight outside the window and suddenly stopped all thoughts.He didn't want to let this broken body hinder Shen Xihe's life, so he stayed behind closed doors from then on, and no matter who passed him the name card, it stayed on his desk.

Shen Xihe finally learned the whole truth from Dr. Xie, and the handkerchief she clenched was soaked in cold sweat. But after the panic, the worry in her eyes slowly turned into a sober decision: she wanted to complete the Shen family's power plan, and the past few years were enough for her to gain a firm foothold. The prince in front of her was in a desperate situation, and he was her most reliable supporter.The next day at the Jinluan Palace, Shen Xihe proposed to the emperor to marry Prince Xiao Huayong in front of the civil and military officials of the court.The sincere words were so convincing that the usually calm emperor was so moved that he immediately agreed to personally convince the prince.The other princes all looked sad after hearing the news. Xiao Changying, who had always admired Shen Xihe, even locked himself in the mansion to drink to drown his sorrows. In his drunken state, he only felt that Xiao Huayong was weak and blind and could not protect her at all.

Until Xiao Changqing sat opposite him and slowly broke through the joints: What Shen Xihe wanted was never the love between children, but the overwhelming power behind the position of prince. Only by marrying into the East Palace could the Shen family gain a firm foothold in the turbulent court.
