She just has a sore throat now, and no other problems.
It is entirely possible to continue to fight ten people alone.
No problem at all.
Chu Ci's face was pale. She raised her hand to pat Feng You's back, while looking at the staff around her.
A pair of beautiful eyes with watery light and misty look make people feel distressed.
It is obvious at first glance that this is not the image of a woman that is loved and sought after in the capital today.
After all, he is the head of a family, not to mention the crown prince of an empire. Such an image makes Chu Ci have no sense of presence among the people, and many people even sneer at him behind his back.
Seeing that Chu Ci was already of marriageable age and was the crown prince, no one wanted to fight for the position of queen.
The original owner had always been in poor health and didn't want to burden others, so he never mentioned this matter.
Feng You also realized at this moment that her behavior was a bit rude. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, stood up straight, and asked Chu Ci to sit down.
Looking at Chu Ci's obedient smile, he felt even more worried.
"What's the situation outside now?" Chu Ci raised her hand and took the teacup again, drinking it in small sips. There was a faint light in her eyes as she swept her gaze over all the staff around her.
There are very few people standing on the Crown Prince's side, most of whom are officials without much real power. Most of them chose Chu Ci's side because they had received favors from the original owner's father.
The most powerful among them should be the Minister of Justice Hu Xun. When Hu Xun was taking the exam, he received help from the original owner's father. The two had a close relationship. Until the original owner's father entered the palace, he gradually took this position.
Hu Xun is already over forty years old. He is usually very serious and stern. He often looks down on Chu Ci, but he still protects her with all his heart.
A big part of the reason why the original owner was able to live in peace and stability for so long was because of Hu Xun.
"The situation is still the same. There is no movement from Prince Gong Chumu. He was probably beaten badly by the young master of the Xiao family and is resting in the mansion." Feng You sighed.
This is good, as it means Chu Mu won’t have time to cause trouble again.
When several princesses got together, Chu Mu "accidentally" gave Chu Ci a herbal sachet that conflicted with the medicine she was drinking, causing Chu Ci to fall ill. The empress was really partial to Chu Mu. Chu Ci had been resting in the mansion for a few days. The empress only criticized him verbally and sent someone from the palace to deliver some medicinal herbs, and that was the end of the matter.
She probably also planned that when Chu Ci died of illness, she would appoint another crown prince.
I don't know whether I should be thankful that my prince has always been in poor health and had a strong reaction to the medicine, causing him to fall ill directly. If he had allowed those people to arrange something around him without knowing it, it would have been a disaster.
"This is a critical moment. Your Highness, please take care of yourself and don't touch the items sent by other princesses directly." Hu Xun, who had been silent all the time, finally stepped forward. She had a square face and looked quite serious, with a hint of dissatisfaction and blame on her face. This was not the first time that she had been so unguarded towards Chu Ci.
Do you really think that if you sit in this position, the sisters around you will act like siblings to you?
It's so naive and ridiculous. He was born in the palace, but he developed such a personality.
It’s really not right to be scolded, and it’s not right not to be scolded.
Hu Xun's brows furrowed tightly.
