Chapter 1173: Chapter 1170: Angry

“Don’t delay any longer, lest Mother gets angry,” Huo Zixing said as he strode away with Aunt Qiao.

Inside the room.

The Elder Princess’s nanny consoled her, “Your Highness, the Commandery Prince still respects you.”

The Elder Princess snorted coldly, “Respects?”

“It’s just that I deliberately played the emotional card with him, just like his father, who can’t see things clearly.”

The servants dared not agree with this statement; when it came to the emperor’s son-in-law, he indeed treated everyone gently, so much so that he was taken advantage of and ultimately even paid with his life.

...

The Elder Princess had already instructed Nanny Song, knowing that Huo Zixing liked things that were clean and refined, she sent him to the manor outside the capital. There, without anyone to serve him, he even had to cook for himself.

Huo Zixing wasn’t the type to endure hardship; he wouldn’t do those dirty chores, only Aunt Qiao could do them.

Over time, Aunt Qiao was bound to reveal flaws that would make Huo Zixing dislike her.

“Your Highness, the Young Prince has woken up,” a servant reported at that moment.

The Elder Princess hurriedly stood and entered the room, walking straight to the bedside and sitting down. She stretched out her hand to touch his forehead and anxiously asked the physician beside her, “Imperial Physician Liu, how is Yan Yi’s condition now?”

“Replying to Your Highness, the Princely Heir only inhaled a small amount of pollen. The rescue was timely; he only needs to recuperate for ten to fifteen days to recover. However, the poison he carried from his mother’s womb has been affected this time. I fear we need to find a better doctor to examine the Princely Heir, otherwise, his condition will slowly deteriorate…”

Upon hearing this, the Elder Princess’s face grew very ugly, “Imperial Physician Liu, you can’t do anything?”

“Your Highness, I am helpless,” Imperial Physician Liu quickly knelt down.

The Elder Princess’s expression darkened slightly, “If you can’t manage, then who can? Perhaps Physician-in-Chief Lu might?”

“I do not know,” Imperial Physician Liu persisted, sweating profusely under the Elder Princess’s anger.

After a long while, the Elder Princess’s slightly irritated voice was heard, “Send Imperial Physician Liu back to the palace, and take my card to invite Physician-in-Chief Lu again.”

Ye Muyu only heard about these matters at the Princess’ Mansion.

After all, the news that Little Prince Huo Zixing had left the capital to try growing rice at the manor had spread throughout the capital.

“Ah Yu, this capital is really big. I went out with your father for a stroll, and we almost took the wrong road,” Madam Liu said as she entered from outside in the morning, with Chu Zhiwen still carrying a black chicken.

Ye Muyu was in the room preparing creams with Su Mei and several maidservants when she heard the voices and came out.

“Mother, aren’t you cold? Next time you go out, bring a servant boy to lead the way,” she replied.

Madam Liu shook her head, “Not cold. It’s colder just sitting inside the house. If you sit too long, you become afraid to go out. It’s better to go out more often and get used to the weather here.”

“We don’t need a servant boy; your father and I like to wander around. After going out a few more times, we’ll know our way.”

“By the way, this black chicken is nice. I bought it to nourish your body,” Madam Liu pointed at the black chicken, “I heard it’s a free-range chicken from a village outside the capital.”

“Speaking of which, there’s some spare space in our courtyard; can we raise some rabbits?”

Chu Zhiwen dismissed the idea with a wave of his hand, “I’ve already said no, wife, stop thinking about it. With such a nice house, how can we use it to raise chickens? It would be so smelly whenever we entered the house.”

“But that large courtyard, if we can’t raise pigs, why can’t we raise rabbits? Rabbits aren’t that smelly,” Madam Liu calculated with her fingers, “Look at the prices here in the capital, they’re too high. Just buying a chicken costs over two hundred wen; back home, it would cost at most fifty or sixty wen.”
