Chapter 1484: After the revision: Chapter 1481 The Elder Princess’s Plan

“Miss, what time is it?” Zhang Lan asked.

The maidservant Cuiyun responded crisply, “Excuse me, is this the carriage of General Huo’s household? Which member of the Huo family is in the carriage? My Elder Princess requests an audience.”

“It is our Old Madam.” A voice from inside the carriage replied.

Upon hearing this, Cuiyun performed her etiquette perfectly, “I will report back to Her Highness right away. May I trouble Old madam Huo to wait for a moment.”

Cuiyun quickly returned to the Elder Princess’s carriage.

The Elder Princess, upon receiving the news, suddenly had a suspicion. Her expression changed slightly, and she abruptly said, “Change direction, I need to go to the palace.”

“Your Highness, aren’t you going to the Buddhist Light Temple to pray for the Empress Dowager’s safety?” The nanny who was attending her asked, “Should we send a message to the abbot first?”

“Set it for two hours later. I will see Mother first before I go.” The Elder Princess sat firmly in the carriage.

Before Cuiyun left, she was instructed, “If Old Madam Huo is willing, she may enter the palace together with us.”

Cuiyun hurriedly conveyed this message to the Elder Lady of the Huo Family.

The Elder Lady of the Huo Family eventually agreed.

The Elder Princess’s carriage led the way, with the Huo family’s carriage following closely behind.

Before the Huo family carriage departed, it paused for a moment, and a figure got on and off the carriage without anyone noticing.

The Elder Princess sat in her carriage, feeling the movements and keeping her eyes closed.

Suddenly.

The carriage came to an abrupt halt.

The Elder Princess opened her eyes, and the nanny attending her inside the carriage had already spoken out, inquiring about the coachman’s situation: “What’s going on?”

As she spoke, she lifted the carriage curtain.

She immediately saw a carriage stopped in front of theirs, and from it, a man dressed in brocade robes disembarked.

The nanny recognized him: “Your Highness, it is the Lord of the County.”

Huo Zixing quickly approached, standing outside the carriage, his voice following close behind: “Mother, are you going to the palace?”

“Why have you come?” The Elder Princess’s expression was calm as she asked, squinting her eyes as if trying to discern his true intentions.

Seeing her stern demeanor, Huo Zixing felt a natural resistance, which made his tone somewhat unpleasant: “Mother, I have something to discuss with you. Please come back with me to the residence first.”

“I have no time.” The Elder Princess sneered, her attitude towards him markedly colder. To a son who had never taken her words seriously since childhood and now betrayed her for selfish gain, she had little regard.

Huo Zixing’s face tensed, feeling both angry and resentful for being humiliated in front of the servants, “Mother, didn’t you want to see me before? Now that I truly have something important to discuss, you’re dismissing me.”

“I have news on how to save Yan Yi.”

The Elder Princess’s expression shifted slightly but she remained unconvinced: “We can talk after I return from the palace. Since you have the news, as his father, you should personally send people to find the doctor to cure Yan Yi.”

Huo Zixing was stunned, blurting out his thoughts: “I only know of the news, how could I directly find the doctor? Mother, Yan Yi has been ill for so many years, how could I possibly resolve it in a few days?”

“Oh, so you’re saying the news you have is useless?” The Elder Princess’s face turned colder at his perfunctory attitude, her voice stern: “Send the Commandery Prince back.”

Seeing several guards approaching, extending their hands to drag him away, Huo Zixing was enraged, his face turning red, utterly humiliated.

“Mother, how can you treat your son like this? Aren’t you afraid of becoming a laughingstock?”
