Hu Yu smiled cheekily. “Venerable Liu is the best.”

Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan did not need it, nor did Liu Yuanyuan. The person who needed it the most was Hu Yu.

Hu Yu immediately put the worms in the place where she lived. She dug a small hole and put them in.

A chill spread out through the ground. Hu Yu wished she could roll on the ground.

It was simply too comfortable.

There was a knock on the door. Su Yanyu went to open the door. When he saw Mrs. Su, he called out, “Mother, why are you here?”

Mrs. Su looked at Su Yanyu and then looked into the house. “Consort Shu is here. She’s looking for Miss Liu but not you. Move aside.”

Su Yanyu scratched his head and moved to the side. Mrs. Su entered. Su Yanyu looked at the carriage. Consort Shu stood at the side and asked the palace servants to help Xia Hongjin out of the carriage.

Looking at Xia Hongjin’s pale face and trembling hands, Su Yanyu felt sorry for him.

The Second Prince was sick all year round. Su Yanyu had only seen him a few times.

If he wore winter clothes in summer, what did he wear in winter?

Consort Shu smiled at Su Yanyu. “Young Marquis, it’s been a long time since I last saw you. You’ve become mature. Your mother is lucky to have you as her son.”

Xia Hongjin smiled at Su Yanyu. “Long time no see, Young Marquis Su.”

Su Yanyu needed someone to hold him when he walked. The palace servant holding him looked like he was enduring pain. Su Yanyu smiled. “It’s been a long time. Second Prince, please come in.”

Consort Shu and Xia Hongjin smiled and slowly entered the courtyard.

When Xia Hongjin pa.s.sed by Su Yanyu, Su Yanyu felt the temperature around him dropped drastically. He couldn’t help but s.h.i.+ver. This Second Prince was comparable to the Ice Silkworm he created.

It was cool for others, but to him, it must be painful.

It was no wonder that the palace servant who was holding him looked like he was in discomfort. Anyone who was around Xia Hongjin would feel cold.

As soon as Xia Hongjin walked into the small courtyard, the heat in the air seemed to have disappeared.

Consort Shu looked at Liu Sanniang and knelt down. “Miss Liu, please save my son.”

Consort Shu’s kneel was very sudden and caught everyone off guard.

When she came back to her senses, Mrs. Su went to pull her up.

Liu Sanniang also pulled Consort Shu up. “Your Highness, get up first.”

Tears welled up in Consort Shu’s eyes. “Miss Liu, I really have no choice. It’s all my fault that my son fell ill. I trusted the empress, but she…”

Consort Shu could not continue. Before the truth was revealed just recently, she didn’t know that the empress was actually so terrifying. Xia Hongjin was born prematurely and was weak. At that time, she was afraid that Xia Hongjin would not be able to live, so she begged the empress to not target her son.

She thought that with the empress’s protection, her son would be safe and sound, but she did not expect the empress to be a jackal.

Suffering from illness for 20 years, Xia Hongjin had never had a healthy day. Just thinking about it made Consort Shu’s heart ache.

Tears rolled down Consort Shu’s face as she blamed herself.

Liu Sanniang said slowly, “Your Highness, take a seat first. Second Prince, please take a seat too.”

Xia Hongjin looked a little like Xia Hongming and Xia Hongyuan, but he was too thin. He was like a piece of ice, making people subconsciously not want to approach him.

Xia Hongming and Consort Shu sat down. Consort Shu looked at Liu Sanniang with hope in her eyes.

Xia Hongjin smiled at Liu Sanniang. “My illness is stubborn. Even if it can’t be cured, it’s understandable.”

Liu Sanniang nodded. “Second Prince, extend your hand.”

In the eyes of outsiders, Xia Hongjin might be sick, but in Liu Sanniang’s eyes, there was a trace of evil lingering around him.

Hu Yu walked to Liu Sanniang’s feet and scratched her with her claws. She said to Liu Sanniang through voice transmission, “Venerable, there’s an evil ghost on this person.”

Xia Hongjin reached out his hand. His hand was snowy white, and the veins on it could be clearly seen.

He was very thin, almost skin and bones.

Xia Hongjin lowered his eyes and said softly, “Please.”

Liu Sanniang placed her hand on Xia Hongjin’s wrist like a doctor taking his pulse. Waves of power enveloped Xia Hongjin. Xia Hongjin looked up at Liu Sanniang in surprise.

Liu Sanniang’s power was warm. This was the first time Xia Hongjin felt warmth. This warmth was even more comfortable than the warmth he felt when he was soaked in hot water. The warmth spread to every part of his body.

For the first time, Xia Hongjin felt a little hot.

Liu Sanniang saw the black thing in him emitting a cold aura. It was attached to Xia Hongjin’s soul. No wonder Xia Hongjin was so afraid of the cold.

This chill was emitted from inside his body. No matter how much clothes he put on, he would still feel cold.

Xia Hongjin had an frosty body.

Liu Sanniang tried to get rid of the black aura that was surrounding Xia Hongjin’s soul, but there was resentment in the thick black aura.

As soon as Liu Sanniang removed a trace of it, it would split into two and tightly wrap around Xia Hongjin.

Liu Sanniang asked slowly, “Second Prince, have you ever killed anyone?”

This black aura was determined that Second Prince was the person it wanted to take revenge on.

Xia Hongjin was a little surprised by Liu Sanniang’s question. Before he could answer, Consort Shu said, “With Jin’s body, how can he kill people? In the past, he was almost always bedridden.”

Xia Hongjin looked into Liu Sanniang’s eyes and said calmly, “I’ve never killed anyone. I’ve been like this since I was young. I’m very afraid of the cold. In the past, I would feel better if I took the imperial physician’s medicine, but now… my condition has worsened.”

Sometimes, he felt that he was about to freeze to death, but he was still alive.

Xia Hongjin was a little worried that Liu Sanniang would not believe him. He continued, “If Miss Liu doesn’t believe me, I can swear to the heavens.”

Liu Sanniang retracted her hand and said, “No need. I believe you.”

Xia Hongjin trusted her very much. Liu Sanniang could easily sense what Xia Hongjin knew.

Most of Xia Hongjin’s time was spent in bed. Occasionally, he would go to the window to look at the sky outside, but the wind was too cold for him. He could only hear the servants telling him about what season it was now..
