Chapter 456 Seeking Medicine

"No!" The eldest princess stared with her eyes, looking very fierce.

The emperor glanced at his beard, his face full of reluctance.

This is the beautiful beard he's been growing for years! It needs to be groomed every day.

Seeing His Majesty unable to fight back in front of his daughter, everyone in the hall laughed secretly.

The emperor struggled for a long time, and finally said, despite the pressure of having his beard pulled out, "Actually, Xin'er is really my daughter."

"What?" The eldest princess was completely dumbfounded. "When did you accept her as your goddaughter?"

The emperor gritted his teeth and revealed Hu Xin'er's life story.

He closed his eyes, already prepared for his beard to be pulled out.

Unexpectedly, the eldest princess let go of her hand, her face full of joy: "Xin'er, is what father said true? Are you really my biological sister?"

Hu Xin'er said weakly, "Judging from my age, I should be your biological sister."

She also didn't expect that the emperor would reveal his identity so quickly.

After all, although Liu Se and the emperor had a mutual affection for each other, she never entered the palace. Strictly speaking, the eldest princess and the crown prince were the truly noble legitimate sons and daughters.

And Hu Xiner was just an illegitimate daughter of the royal family who was living abroad.

She wasn't sure whether the beloved eldest princess could accept the ridiculous fact that her best friend was actually her father's illegitimate daughter.

After hearing this, the eldest princess frowned.

Hu Xiner's heart began to lift. Could it be that the eldest princess finally realized how outrageous this fact was and began to feel disgusted with her?

The eldest princess's reaction made her realize that she was worrying too much.

"But I want to be your sister." The eldest princess frowned and blurted out, "If I were your biological sister, I would definitely compensate you well and protect you for the rest of your life!"

Hu Xiner was somewhat moved. The eldest princess concealed a childish side beneath her ceremonial exterior, but it was this innocent heart that moved people.

She couldn't help but laugh and said, "What's the big deal? Don't worry, you will still be the eldest princess from now on."

"Really?" The eldest princess's eyes lit up. "Then let father hold a canonization ceremony for you and announce to the world that you are my sister. After you give birth to the child, we will take our male favorites on a tour south of the Yangtze River and north of the Great Wall... to save all the suffering handsome men in the world!"

"Cough, cough, cough!" The emperor heard her talk getting more and more outrageous, so he quickly stopped her with a cough.

It's so hard to find a normal daughter back, but I hope she won't be led astray by the eldest princess.

The eldest princess was very dissatisfied: "Father, you can't be partial to one and discriminate against the other! You and I both have a courtyard of beauties, why doesn't Xin'er have one?"

"Princess, please be careful with your words!" Mu Qing said with a dark face.

He had seen the eldest princess's backyard. If those handsome men with special skills appeared under Hu Xin'er's hands, they would definitely be sent to the shop to start a career line, thus creating a steady stream of money for Hu Xin'er.

However, if you think that this can stop the romance between them, you are totally wrong.

Mu Qing was very clear about the charm of his wife. If those playboys were rich, talented and beautiful, and surrounded his wife every day under the guise of business, then what was he?

He has no intention of being a good husband!

Moreover, there is an unknown true love waiting for Hu Xin'er...

Mu Qing hugged his wife tightly in his arms, and couldn't help feeling jealous.

The eldest princess suddenly felt a gaze as cold as ice staring at her, and she blinked guiltily.

Oh no, she was so focused on having fun with Xin'er that she forgot her husband was there!

The most important thing is that she can't beat Mu Qing, otherwise she can teach Mu Qing a lesson and let him understand what it means that the wife is the leader of the husband.

"Ahem..." She didn't want to lose face in front of Mu Qing, so she bravely said, "You, why are you looking at me like that? Now that you're a consort, you have to be a good husband and be more docile, understand?"

As Mu Qing's face grew darker, her voice grew softer.

But soon, she looked at Hu Xin'er with a beaming face again: "Woman, all my treasury will belong to you from now on. Buy whatever you want!"

Just as the eldest princess was happily planning her future life, Hu Xiner fell silent.

Because she is about to leave the palace.

The eldest princess noticed that his expression was not right and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Xin'er, are you angry because I didn't bring your husband with me?"

Hu Xiner thought it was better to suffer a short pain than a long one, so she closed her eyes and said her plan: "I can't go on the trip with you, because I want to live in seclusion in the mountains with the Lu family!"

The eldest princess was stunned: "What did you say?"

Hu Xin'er pursed her lips: "Actually, my biological mother is Liu Se. She killed Prime Minister Lu, Mu Qing's father!"

After a series of twists and turns in the story, the eldest princess asked uncertainly, "Is this your new storybook?"

Hu Xiner shook her head.

"That is to say, although Mu Qing does not hate father, the Lu family and the royal family are irreconcilable?" The eldest princess confirmed again.

Hu Xiner nodded.

"No, I don't agree with you going with them!" The eldest princess said anxiously when she saw her determined eyes.

Hu Xiner sighed slightly: "Yue'er, some things can't be forced."

The eldest princess grabbed her hand and demanded, "Didn't you just say you wanted to be my sister? Why are you leaving now?"

Hu Xin'er choked. She had just been comforting the eldest princess, so she agreed casually...

"You are not lying to me, are you?" the eldest princess asked suspiciously.

"No, why would I lie to you?" Hu Xin'er quickly replied, "But for both of our families, retiring is indeed the best option."

Seeing that the princess was gripping her hand very hard, Mu Qing reminded her, "Don't grip so hard that it hurts Xin'er."

Unexpectedly, this sentence ignited the eldest princess's anger.

"It's all your fault. What kind of magic potion did you feed Xin'er?" The eldest princess angrily swung her fist and hit Mu Qing in the face.

Life in the mountains was so hard that she simply couldn't accept it.

So she felt that it must be Mu Qing, this unscrupulous guy, who caused Hu Xiner to suffer.

"You useless man!" Her fist was blocked by Mu Qing, but she still glared at him.

Mu Qing didn't have the habit of indulging others, so he just threw her out.

The princess stumbled a few steps and looked at Hu Xin'er again, her eyes full of anxiety and reluctance: "Xin'er, don't listen to this bastard's nonsense now. If you really go to the mountains with him and live a hard life, who knows what he will do to you!"

Hu Xin'er said helplessly: "I know you are doing this for my own good, but I have made up my mind to stand by my husband. You don't need to persuade me anymore."

"Can't you just stay in the palace?" The eldest princess stamped her feet in anger.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and a eunuch outside shouted, "Your Majesty, Doctor Dou has sent someone to ask for medicine!"
