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 236 Babeizi

Everyone in the previous dynasty knew that the current emperor valued "Prince Shun" very much.

Because of the title "Prince Shun," the character "Shun" was the name of an ancient emperor.

Moreover, in general, the character "Shun" not only carries connotations of nobility, but also represents wisdom, benevolence, and talent for governance.

...

Pure, unique, and beautiful.

Eighth Prince Hongxu said earnestly, "Mother, don't worry."

I will definitely take good care of Lao Jiu then.

It has been more than eleven months, almost a year, since the Seventh Prince Hongzhao was conferred the title of Prince Shun!

Two months ago, the Eighth Prince Hongxu was also granted the title of Eighth Prince by Emperor Yongzheng.

Now, Prince Hongxu is talking about sending Princess Taifeng of Heshuo Ruike as part of her dowry.

Because in a few days, he and Prince Guo Hongxuan would be going out to escort Princess Heshuo Ruike Taifengge to her wedding.

The last time, when we sent Princess Fuanna of Heshuo Anke as part of her dowry.

Emperor Yongzheng entrusted Prince Shun, Hongzhao, with full authority, and Prince Hongxu, the Eighth Prince, accompanied him to witness it.

However, Prince Shun would definitely be unable to leave this time to escort Princess Taifeng of the Heshuo Ruike.

Because he was already very busy, he became even busier after being conferred the title of Prince Shun by Emperor Yongzheng.

Moreover, he had just gone to Shengjing to pay respects to his ancestors a few months ago!

Therefore, Emperor Yongzheng arranged for the brothers Hongxu, the Eighth Prince, and Hongxuan, the Prince of Guo, to jointly take charge this time.

Yes, Emperor Yongzheng also did not arrange for the three older princes to escort the bride this time.

Upon hearing this, Ituma Shushu said softly, "Hongxu, you have been serving in the previous dynasty for over a year."

Yes, you've grown noticeably during this time.

Therefore, your mother is still at ease with you.

Upon hearing this, Prince Hongxu glanced smugly at Prince Guo, Hongxuan.

Prince Guo, Hongxuan, then rolled his eyes at Eighth Prince Hongxu.

Ituma Shushu: "..."

Well, these two mischievous kids really shouldn't be together.

Cough cough cough cough.

After clearing her throat, Ituma Shushu continued softly, "Hongxu, you are now a father."

Remember to take good care of yourself while you're away from home. Remember that Lady Balin and the First Prince are waiting for you at home!

And Hongxuan, you'll be a father in a few months too.

Hesheli and her unborn child are also waiting for you to come back.

After listening to Ituma Shushu's words, both Prince Hongxu and Prince Guo Hongxuan nodded solemnly and said in unison, "Understood, Mother."

Yes, last month, the Eighth Prince's Consort, Lady Balin, gave birth to a prince, and both mother and child are doing well.

Meanwhile, Princess Hesheli, wife of Prince Guo, is now more than four months pregnant.

Furthermore, Princess Niohuru, wife of Prince Shun, is also more than two months pregnant.

However, this time, Niohuru's pregnancy was not the one in which Ituma Shushu gave birth to a girl named Dan!

After seeing the two of them respond, Ituma Shushu said with emotion, "You two have finished with the wedding arrangements for Princess Taifeng of Heshuo Ruike."

Next time, you won't need to travel so far to escort Princess Guren Jiake, Alechuka, to her wedding.

Eighth Prince Hongxu nodded and said, "Mother, now that Seventh Princess is marrying into the Tongjia clan, we really don't need to travel so far to escort her."

Prince Guo, Hongxuan, interjected, "However, both the Fifth Princess and the Sixth Princess were engaged for three years before getting married."

However, the seventh princess is to get married two years after her engagement.

And now more than ten months have passed, which means she'll be getting married next year.

Upon hearing this, Ituma Shushu sighed and then said softly, "Your fifth and sixth princesses are both going to marry far away to Mongolia."

That's why your Emperor Father delayed their marriages by a year, isn't it?

Both Prince Hongxu and Prince Guo Hongxuan understood their mother's implication, and they couldn't help but frown.

...

The following day, after Ituma Shushu returned from checking in and collecting her life points, she prepared to go to the "Dawn Mall" to buy "Poison-Drawing Pills".

She had already given "poison-inducing pills" to Prince Shun Hongzhao and Eighth Prince Hongxu.

Now that Prince Guo Hongxuan is also going out, Ituma Shushu plans to give him a "poison-inducing pill".

Moreover, and most importantly, Ituma Shushu also wanted to administer a "poisoning pill" to Emperor Yongzheng.

She wanted to see if there would be any unexpected results!

Then, Ituma Shushu snapped out of her thoughts and opened the "Dawn Mall".

Then, she used her mind to create a small hand and pressed the light gold button in the upper left corner of the virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall".

Then, a row of text shimmering with a light gold light appeared on the virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall":

【Return to the Past Spray】

Painless childbirth fluid

[Daughter-Giving Pill]

[Potential Pill]

[Poison-Guiding Pill]

After pondering for a moment while looking at the information on the panel, Ituma Shushu used her mind to create a small hand and pressed the words "【Poison-Drawing Pill】" which was flashing with a light golden light.

Immediately afterwards, the virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall" displayed:

[Poison-Guiding Pill]

【in stock:***】

[Note: Only one Poison-Attracting Pill can be purchased at a time, and each pill costs a random amount of Vitality.]

[Efficacy description: The Detoxifying Pill can first draw out 99.00% of the toxins from the body of the poisoned person, and the remaining 1.00% of the toxins will cause the poisoned person to show signs of poisoning.]

The 1.00% toxin is slowly expelled from the body only after the poisoning state has manifested, and the speed of expulsion depends on the individual's constitution.

(The poison-drawing pill has a shelf life of five years.)

[Ding! Purchasing "Poison-Drawing Pill" requires Life Points. Please confirm your purchase.]

Ituma Shushu silently replied, "Yes."

[Ding! Purchase successful, deducting Vitality Points:]

Subsequently, the virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall" was refreshed.

Ituma Shushu looked intently.

The virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall" displayed:

Ituma Shushu

[Vital Energy: 1261]

Lifespan: 7 years and 2 months

Lifespan can be exchanged for vitality points.

Then, Ituma Shushu saw the row of small cubicles below the transparent panel.

A small bottle labeled "Poison-Drawing Pill" appeared in one of the small compartments.

...

Well, I'm not in debt after buying the "Poison-Drawing Pill" this time.

Based on his previous experience of buying "Poison-Attracting Pills", he could buy two more "Poison-Attracting Pills".

Upon realizing this, Ituma Shushu immediately restarted the "Dawn Mall" app and accessed the interface displaying the purchase list.

...

Then, she used her mind to form a small hand and pressed it on the words "【Poison-Drawing Pill】" that were flashing with a light golden light.

...

[Ding! Purchasing "Poison-Drawing Pill" requires Life Points. Please confirm your purchase.]

Ituma Shushu silently replied, "Yes."

[Ding! Purchase successful, deducting Vitality Points:]
