They did not see Her Highness the Princess that evening.
Princess Duanyang stayed by Huo Chenyi's side.
Neither the Chi nor the Li families dared to disturb Her Highness the Princess.
Huo Chenyi finally opened his eyes at 1:00 AM on the second day.
After his mother fed him a large bowl of warm water, Huo Chenyi finally felt that his throat was not so uncomfortable anymore.
She glanced around the room and asked softly, "Where's Tangtang?"
"They say that once you marry a wife, you forget your mother. You haven't even married a wife yet, and you can't even see your mother?" Princess Duanyang glared at him, then immediately stood up and ordered someone to cook for Huo Chenyi and call the doctor in to take a look.
Huo Chenyi didn't argue. After the doctor arrived and took his pulse, he kept exclaiming in surprise:
"...He recovered so quickly! I originally thought this young master was in poor health and it would take him some time to fully recover, but I didn't expect him to recover so fast..."
After the doctor left, Huo Chenyi was helped to lean against the bed and said softly, "It was Tangtang who secretly fed me two pills, which is why I recovered so quickly."
"That little girl knows how to treat illnesses?"
Princess Duanyang felt that even if she had lived two lives, she still couldn't believe that a baby less than a year old could be a doctor.
Huo Chenyi smiled and nodded: "Has Mother forgotten that it was Tangtang who noticed my illness before?"
However, this chubby girl's medical skills seem to appear and disappear intermittently, which is quite strange.
(Chi Tang's act of saving people breaks the rules and will have a backlash. That's why she sometimes forgets that she was once a big shot and all her abilities, and becomes a true baby.)
"So it's true that we are born with knowledge."
Princess Duanyang couldn't help but be surprised.
She truly believed it.
After all, her son's health had truly improved.
"Mother, please let Chu Jiu in. I want to know if the Chi family's matter has been resolved. I'm afraid Aunt Chi and the others are very worried."
Huo Chen was preoccupied with the affairs of the Chi family.
I have no idea how far things have progressed.
Oh dear, getting sick at such an inopportune time.
"You!"
Princess Duanyang poked her son's forehead hard, but before she could speak, she suddenly pinched her throat.
Just then, Huo Chen was deep in thought and didn't notice.
Princess Duanyang paused for a moment, then said, "Alright, then you go ahead with your work, but please take care of yourself. I'm tired after watching over you all night, I'm going to rest now."
"Mother, you didn't have to come. If you've worn yourself out, son... Mother, what's wrong with your neck?"
Huo Chenyi finally noticed the bandage around Princess Duanyang's neck when he spoke to her directly.
Is he injured?
How could you have injured your neck?
Princess Duanyang didn't want her son to worry, but she also knew that Chenyi was precocious and that ordinary lies could never fool him, so she had no choice but to tell the truth.
“I staged a self-inflicted injury, and now Huo Minglang is in a lot of trouble.”
Although she told the truth, Princess Duanyang still tried to say as little as possible to avoid worrying her son.
Upon hearing the name Huo Minglang, Huo Chenyi's expression instantly darkened.
No matter when or where, Huo Minglang's influence on Huo Chenyi is indelible.
“Son, that woman has reaped what she sowed. Although she has been spared, she has been stripped of her title, demoted to Huo Minglang’s concubine, and will be slapped twenty times a day for three months!”
After saying it, Duan Yang felt as if he had finally expelled a pent-up anger.
Although, that bitch's life wasn't taken.
But the emperor got what he wanted, and at the same time, he vented his anger for her.
"So, it wasn't just a ruse, was it? Otherwise, why would Huo Minglang have backed down to this extent?"
Huo Chen narrowed his eyes and quickly figured it out, making a bold guess: "Did she send someone to kill me, and my mother or His Majesty happened to catch them?"
The mother's self-inflicted injury was definitely used on Huo Minglang to force him to refrain from harming him.
The most likely explanation is that Wang Yufei was outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant, and then she took action against him!
Because if he dies, it will be most beneficial for Wang Yufei!
"You're such a smart child! It makes me, as your mother, feel no sense of accomplishment at all. Alright, don't overthink it."
Things are different now. Over the years, your uncle has been meticulously planning and gradually dismantling Huo Minglang's power. And with this latest development… his title of Grand General is now just that—a title. He has very few capable generals and soldiers left.”
Of course, things are not that simple.
It was also mixed with many disputes and issues within the court, which Emperor Huiwu merely ignited with the flames handed over on the Dragon Boat Festival.
This is just a starting point.
"Um."
Huo Chenyi simply gave a soft "hmm" and then lowered his eyes, remaining silent.
Seeing her son so calm, Princess Duanyang was somewhat frightened.
Worried that her son would bottle up all his emotions, she stood up and said, "I'm going to rest now. You should go see that chubby girl. I heard she's been wanting to see you for a long time and is so anxious that she hasn't been eating."
"Tangtang? Quickly, bring Tangtang over here."
Seeing her son so energetic upon hearing the name Chi Tang, Princess Duanyang felt gratified.
If I can't comfort my son myself, then it's good that someone else can.
Princess Duanyang left with a smile.
Not long after, Aunt Chi, Uncle Chi, and Little Fifth Brother arrived carrying Chi Tang.
When he arrived, Chu Jiu had just finished his report, and a servant brought over a bowl of medicine and handed it to Huo Chenyi.
Huo Chen finished the entire bowl of herbs without even blinking!
"ah!"
Chi Tang immediately struggled, and Xiao Wu understood instantly. He immediately put his sister on Huo Chenyi's bed and touched Huo Chenyi's forehead with concern.
"Oh, it's still a bit hot and humid." Little Fifth Brother was a little worried. He sat on the edge of the bed and scolded Huo Chenyi, "Once you get better, you should practice more. It's too hard for your little body."
"Stop babbling!"
Chi Tang, with her butt sticking out, had just helped Huo Chen stand up when she immediately turned to Little Fifth Brother and bared her teeth.
Yi Yi is already in such a terrible state, how can you still talk about her?
"Hey, you chubby girl, whose sister are you?" Little Fifth Brother snorted and mischievously poked Chi Tang's forehead with his finger.
The little girl had only just learned to stand, and her legs weren't strong enough yet.
The chassis was unstable, and Little Fifth Brother pushed its head backward with force...
Finally, with a soft smack, the chubby little girl plopped down on Huo Chenyi's neck, who was watching the commotion!
"Cough cough..."
"Ouch, Chenyi!"
"Xiao Wu, what are you doing?"
Aunt Chi and Uncle Chi quickly helped Chi Tang up and came to check on Huo Chenyi.
"Cough cough... It's nothing, it's nothing..."
"You said you were fine, but your face is all red! It must be because Tangtang is too fat! This little chubby girl is quite heavy."
After saying that, Brother Wu burst into laughter.
Chi Tang clenched her little fists in anger, looking both cute and fierce!
