Chapter 199: Sleight of Hand



Although Nangong Honglie was frightened, he also heard something unusual.

He hurriedly tried to comfort her, "Your Majesty, please calm down first. I feel that Jiu'er is just trying to take advantage of your influence, and she is not really injured and asking for help."

"Oh? How do you mean?"

“You might as well listen to it again and you will understand.

With Jiuer's ability, who can hurt her if she doesn't want to?"

Emperor Dongling really laughed after listening to it again.

"I'm just too concerned! Fine, if she wants to borrow my power, I'll lend it to her. Not everyone can bully my granddaughter."

So, he sent a reply that sounded furious.

As soon as he finished replying, he took out his paper bird and contacted Liu Hao.

"Hao'er, how is Xue'er? You must find an experienced doctor to avoid any further illness.

Also, what exactly is going on with the Zhou family?"

"Xue'er is fine now. Jiu'er treated her. As for the Zhou family's affairs, I'm not very clear. Father, please contact Jiu'er or General Chu."

"Okay, Father will contact them, and you take good care of Xue'er."

On the carriage back to Xizhou.

Because Chu Xia was exhausted, she called a maid with the help of Nangong Jiu's spiritual power. After looking at her two children, she fell into a deep sleep.

Mrs. Chu asked worriedly, "Jiu'er, the doctor said your cousin's blood is almost gone. Is she really okay?"

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I just gave birth and lost too much blood, so I'm a little weak.

After returning home, give her some blood-boosting food, and she will be fully recovered after the confinement period."

Mrs. Chu was so happy that she burst into tears: "That's great! Let her body recover first, and then we can put other things aside."

Just as General Chu was about to say something, Emperor Dongling's paper bird flew into the car window and landed between General Chu and Nangong Jiu.

General Chu took it in his hand and clicked it.

"General Chu, I heard that your eldest granddaughter was in trouble. What exactly happened?"

General Chu looked at Nangong Jiu and chose to tell the truth: "Your Majesty, the Zhou family is too bullying..."

After General Chu finished speaking, Nangong Jiu added: "Grandfather, I'm fine, don't worry.

My cousin was heartbroken and wanted to return to the Chu family. In order to help her achieve her wish and prevent others from accusing us of abusing our power, I deliberately provoked that vicious woman and played a trick on her.

After hearing what the two said, Emperor Dongling and Nangong Honglie felt annoyed with General Chu, but also praised Nangong Jiu.

Emperor Dongling intentionally said at the end, "General Chu, your family, for generations, has made great contributions to the peace of Dongling.

I shall take care of your descendants. If you need anything, I can help you."

General Chu looked at Chu Xia, his eyes red as he said, "My eldest granddaughter just came back from the brink of death. She is too weak and is sleeping soundly.

After returning to the Chu Mansion and settling down, I will ask her carefully to see her wishes. If she does not want to return to the Zhou family, I will ask the emperor to arrange a divorce."

Emperor Dongling agreed with this decision: "I should really ask her carefully."

"We can't get a divorce. We have to divorce the Zhou family!" Nangong Jiu protested loudly.

After General Chu expressed his gratitude, he hugged Nangong Jiu for a long time without saying a word.

Nangong Jiu comforted him, "Great-grandfather, don't worry too much, everything will be fine."

General Chu nodded: "Jiu'er is right. As elders, we should just support her silently behind the scenes no matter what choice she makes."

"Well, don't be afraid, we are here for you."

Chu family.

It was already late at night when the group returned to the Chu Mansion.

Chu Xia and her son were quickly settled into the courtyard where she lived permanently when she returned home.

The carefully prepared food was brought to her, and even the child's wet nurse was prepared.

Madam Chu and Nangong Jiu guarded her: "Xia'er, this is your home, you should take good care of yourself, and we can talk about other things slowly.

Chu Xia wiped her tears and nodded.

Seeing that she was not feeling unwell and her pulse was stable, Nangong Jiu prepared to take Xiao Wang Xiaoxing back home.

Mrs. Chu saw her out. "The doctor said Xia'er's pulse is intermittent. Is that true?"

Nangong Jiu smiled and shook his head: "That was a trick I used to scare the doctor.

My cousin did lose a lot of blood, but after my treatment, her pulse has stabilized and she can continue her confinement as normal."

"Jiu'er, wait until your cousin's aunt is one month old, and then I'll invite you to the banquet."

"good!"

After returning to the prince's mansion, Nangong Jiu sneaked up to his mother's door with a thief in his heart. Seeing that the light was still on and hearing voices, he knocked on the door gently.

Liu Hao quickly opened the door: "Jiuer, you're back!"

"Well, why isn't Daddy resting yet?"

"Your mother wants to wait for you to come back and see you."

"Oh, I waited until my aunt fell asleep, diagnosed her, and came back only after making sure everything was normal."

Nangong Jiu poked his head in and looked inside.

When he saw his mother leaning against the head of the bed, staring at him with a smile, he rushed into the house cheering.

"Mother, mother..."

The mother and daughter reunited after a long separation and were very affectionate with each other.

After a long while, Nangong Jiu leaned his head against Nangong Yunxue's abdomen and listened, then smiled and said, "My brothers are fine, they are sleeping soundly."

Nangong Yunxue and Liu Hao laughed when they heard this: "They're still so young, and they can already sleep so soundly?"

“Yes!

I can sleep soundly too. Wuwang says that listening to my snoring is very soothing. Hehe..."

Nangong Yunxue looked at the little guy carefully and hugged him lovingly: "You must have suffered a lot outside? Your face has become much darker, and your hands have calluses."

"We didn't suffer any hardship. We ate meat every day, including rabbit, pheasant, deer, wild boar, etc.

Oh, I forgot all about this.

I still have quite a bit in my bag. Tomorrow I'll ask the chef at the mansion to cook it for Dad and Mom."

"Well, dear, it's late, you've been busy all day, you must be exhausted, go back to your room and rest early.

We'll talk about it tomorrow. Mother wants to hear about your experience."

Nangong Jiu nodded in agreement, waved her hand, and returned to her room.

The nanny brought some water, and after a simple wash, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

The end of Chenshi the next day.

Mrs. Chu came to the prince's mansion to visit Nangong Yunxue.

"Xue'er, we are the ones who have implicated you this time."

"Aunt, please don't say that. We are a family. Besides, this is not your fault. It was my own fault for not controlling my emotions.

By the way, how is my cousin doing?"

"She's fine now. I asked the housekeeper to prepare a lot of blood-boosting ingredients and cook them for her in different ways. The two children are also very well behaved and don't cry much.

You must take good care of your pregnancy and take good care of yourself and your baby."

Then, Mrs. Chu told Nangong Yunxue about Nangong Jiu's performance in the Zhou family.

“Jiuer is very responsible despite her young age.

When Xia'er said she wanted to go home, she did everything she could to make the Zhou family speechless, and they released her and brought the child back."

"Jiuer really said that the child has nothing to do with the Zhou family?"
