His fingertips tightened slightly, and the corners of his lips turned pale.
Was all the weakness I had before just pretend?
"Just wait and see. The drama of the struggle for the throne has just begun. Don't worry, Hao'er. I don't think His Highness will fall easily."
"Also, Xiaoqi was traveling with my son today, and his attitude towards Your Highness was very different. He ate Your Highness's snacks and even drank His Highness's tea."
Hu Xun raised an eyebrow when he heard this.
After all, the incident of Xiao Qi beating Chu Mu more than half a month ago was quite a sensation.
Could it be that the Prime Minister's family is on Your Highness' side now?
It's hard to say. Chu Ci didn't attend the morning court due to illness, but as the Minister of Justice, Hu Xun did attend. The Prime Minister himself is quite troubled by his own son, so how can he let Xiao Qi treat Chu Ci differently on the grounds that he favors Chu Ci?
It was probably Xiaoqi's own decision, but they over-interpreted it.
"No matter what, if you can be connected with the Prime Minister, it will be a good thing for Your Highness. Xiaoqi is the same age as you and is also of marriageable age. If you can marry into the Prime Minister's Mansion, it will naturally be a very good thing for Your Highness."
Hu Tianhao's fingertips tightened again.
"Mother knows you still have prejudices against His Highness, and I also know you have a good relationship with Xiaoqi. But don't worry, judging by the clues His Highness has revealed, Mother is not wrong about him. His Highness will be a good wife."
"Yes, son, I understand."
It was clearly me who begged my mother not to become the link between Chu Ci and the Hu family, but now I feel mixed emotions and I can't describe what I feel.
A few more days passed.
Chu Ci didn't go out again.
They were out for a long time that day, and the wind was a bit strong, which showed signs of catching a slight cold. This scared Feng You, and he gave Chu Ci some medicine for several days, asking her to recuperate.
At this moment, Chu Ci was sitting in the courtyard of the Princess's Mansion, on a soft stool carefully laid out by the servants, with several plates of snacks at hand.
Chu Ci's complexion has improved a lot. At least it doesn't look so pale anymore. Instead, it has a rosy hue. However, her eyes are slightly lowered, and she looks a little listless.
Like an over-watered flower, it drooped its head.
It was obvious that he had been severely damaged by the herbs these days.
But he couldn't escape. Maybe the original owner didn't like taking medicine. No matter what method Chu Ci used, he couldn't escape from Feng You's nose.
If she really didn't want to drink, people would try to persuade her with emotion and reason, and she would just shed a few more tears and cry out that she was ashamed of the spirit of Chu Ci's father in heaven.
Chu Ci could only say: Okay, you win.
Then I was urged to take medicine.
The pastries at hand were also specially arranged by Feng You. They were mixed with some things that are good for the body. Although they were not unpalatable, they just tasted weird and people didn't like them.
Chu Ci leaned dejectedly against the back of the chair and let out a sigh.
"Xiaobai, I feel like I'm about to become a sickly sick person. Life is so hard."
Cha Bai: Ci Ci, please hold on a little longer. You still have a lot of chronic toxins in your body, almost all of them, enough to form a periodic table of elements. It will take some time to get rid of them.
Chu Ci raised her eyelids and reached out childishly to push the plate that was sent to her away.
