The Everyday Life of a Man Living by the Skin of His Teeth: A Qing Dynasty Reimagining

"Why only a one-month lifespan?" Ituma Shush felt shocked.

This is an alternate history Qing Dynasty novel with a cheat, multiple children, no romantic pairing (CP), and a slower pace...

Chapter 226 Twenty Years

Well, I'm currently still in debt, owing over 40,000 life points.

Just then, the "drug-spreading angel" flew back, circling Ituma Shushu twice.

It paused again in front of Ituma Shushu, and then flashed with golden light.

"Little Medicine Angel" then returned to the small grid space on the transparent panel.

Seeing that the drug had been successfully administered, Ituma Shushu sighed again.

...

"Mother, don't worry!"

Seventh Brother and I will take good care of ourselves on the journey.

The Eighth Prince Hongxu quickly suppressed the excitement on his face and spoke with a fawning expression.

Ituma Shushu rolled her eyes at him and said, "I think you, Hongxu, are overjoyed!"

Hmph, you were looking so excited just now.

Don't think your mother's eyesight is failing and she didn't see it.

"Mother, I knew that the eighth prince was the most troublesome one."

Prince Guo, Hongxuan, quickly interjected.

Ituma Shushu glared at the gloating Prince Guo Hongxuan and said, "Hmph, you and Hongxu have been the most troublesome people since childhood."

Regarding the matters concerning Prince Guo's residence, you must also be patient and sort things out as soon as possible.

Prince Guo, Hongxuan, touched his nose sullenly and said in a low voice, "I understand, Mother."

Eighth Prince Hongxu glanced at him quickly, a slight smile playing on his lips.

The Tenth Prince Honghao and the Eleventh Prince Hongyao exchanged a glance.

Sigh, the myna and the ninth brother are so childish!

Just then, Prince Hongzhao strode in.

"Seventh Brother, Seventh Brother."

"Seventh Brother, Seventh Brother."

Seventh Prince Hongzhao nodded and said, "Mother, it's all settled. We'll set off the day after tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Ituma Shushu frowned slightly and said softly, "So soon? Mother thought we wouldn't be setting off for several days!"

"I consulted the Imperial Observatory this morning, and finally decided to set off a few days earlier."

"Seventh Prince Hongzhao spoke up."

Ituma Shushu nodded and said softly, "Hongxuan, send over the items you prepared to give to your fifth sister later."

Prince Guo, Hongxuan, nodded and said solemnly, "Yes, Mother."

Afterwards, Ituma Shushu and her six children chatted for a while longer.

Then, she sent the Eighth Prince Hongxu, Prince Guo Hongxuan, the Tenth Prince Honghao, and the Eleventh Prince Hongyao back first, leaving only the Seventh Prince Hongzhao behind.

“Hongzhao, you are now a father of two children.”

Ituma Shushu sighed as she looked at the increasingly dignified Seventh Prince Hongzhao.

"Mother?" Seventh Prince Hongzhao looked at his mother with a puzzled expression.

Ituma Shushu frowned and said softly, "Mother knows that you have been busy with the wedding of your fifth sister recently and have not been paying much attention to the affairs of the inner court."

But no matter what the adults were thinking, Mother always hoped her grandchildren would be well.

Seventh Prince Hongzhao recalled the recent commotion in his backyard before speaking, "Mother, don't worry."

I know how to handle it; I have indeed been a bit busy lately.

I will make all the necessary arrangements before I go on this long trip.

Upon hearing this, Ituma Shushu nodded slightly.

She was confident in the abilities of the Seventh Prince Hongzhao.

And a long time ago.

Yes, it started when Consort Yun harbored strong malice towards her.

She had already instructed her three brothers to observe and keep an eye on the situations in their nephews' homes.

Well, after all, the three brothers are quite special and don't need to compete for favor with their brothers.

...

"Your Majesty, where are the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince now?"

Xia Ju said softly as she massaged Ituma Shushu's shoulders.

Dongmei whispered, "Yes, Your Highness, the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince have been away from the capital for about ten days."

Upon hearing this, Ituma Shushu said softly, "They should have covered about a third of the distance by now."

Your Majesty, I've never traveled far from home, so I'm not very clear on the details.

I learned some of it when I had the Eighth Prince memorize the route map.

Xia Ju frowned and whispered, "Your Majesty, the journey is so long!"

No wonder when I paid my respects to the Empress a couple of days ago.

This servant can see that Consort Yu's expression is still very bad.

"Alas, who knows when Consort Yu will see Princess Heshuo Anke again?"

Dongmei nodded with a sense of sympathy, and said in a low voice, "Fortunately, Your Majesty, you didn't give birth to a princess."

Otherwise, Your Majesty, you would be as heartbroken as Consort Yu right now.

Xia Ju also lowered her voice and said, "It's more than just heartbreak, this servant thinks Consort Yu is practically half dead!"

Ituma Shushu: "..."

Last time, I told you two not to hold back and to say whatever you wanted.

You two have really let loose these days!

Ituma Shushu said softly, "Xiaju and Dongmei, you two can talk here for now. Don't say anything more once you leave this room."

Although I know that you two meant no harm, others may not think so.

Others will think you two are gloating!

If someone with ulterior motives overhears this, it could cause further trouble.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Xia Ju and Dong Mei quickly responded in unison.

At the same time, Ituma Shushu sighed inwardly.

Anyway, I don't regret giving Consort Yu and Consort Ning the "Daughter-Giving Pill".
