Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Chapter 364 The Runaway Princess is Forcibly Taken Away (13)

Outside the palace,

While Aunt Man returned to the Xia residence as usual, Hu was still kept in the palace.

Xia Youmi felt that they were almost there.

She made final arrangements with Qi Gui and handed him the third prescription. After several days of research, Qi Gui and the imperial physician still hadn't determined the final dosage difference, but if Consort Yi's emotions remained stable and she was no longer agitated...

This minor difference will not affect one's destiny.

She was able to wait peacefully and calmly until the prescription was perfected and she was cured.

Unfortunately, the emotional bomb had already been prepared for her.

Qi Gui was hastily summoned to the palace. News also came from those watching the Wang residence that Hu Shi had not been released, and Wang Meisi was also suddenly summoned to the palace. The more astute members of the Wang clan had been taken out of the city by friends for a day trip.

Considering the journey, by the time Consort Yi is given strong medicine to regain her strength and Wang Meisi is questioned, the latter will not be able to arrive in time to give an explanation to the royal family on behalf of her niece.

So, things will probably continue to be chaotic as estimated, right?

She went to great lengths to slip a message to the Wang family; she couldn't let them down!

after all,

Things stolen are not guaranteed to be sweet; you reap what you sow.

This is a blessing that the Wang family stole from the Luo family through underhanded means! Xia Youmi flipping the table can't be considered wrong, right?

Xia Mansion

Apart from Qi Gui, who had been sent away, the mansion was peaceful and harmonious.

Xia Ji stayed home and talked with Xia Jiechuan, who had rushed back from the academy. The father and son talked from morning until afternoon, without leaving the study even during lunch.

This was the first time Xia Ji had witnessed his adopted son grow up.

It's like he's eating completely different food from his mother; there are some sharp questions that even he can't figure out. They had to call Qiu Xian back from the shop, and only after the two adults talked to him together did they reach a conclusion.

This child has great talent and is worth nurturing. Even if Xia Jiechuan doesn't pursue a military career, he can still support the Xia family in the future.

In the evening, as if eager to share a treasure, Xia Ji called Xia Youmi out to have dinner with her adopted brother. Furthermore, Xia Jiechuan did not suggest that Rao Ai attend.

Xia Ji initially thought his stepson and mother were at odds. Later, with Qiu Xian's guidance, he realized Xia Jiechuan's character and conduct were exceptionally meticulous. Her intention was to foster interaction between Xia Jiechuan and Xia Youmi, the future masters of the Xia family, promoting greater unity and prosperity for the family. Releasing Rao Yuan would only provoke his daughter, who had been deceived for over a decade, and would simply create enmity.

Even if the young lady doesn't understand, someone will teach her these things after she gets married.

It would be unfair to discover that the person who harmed her had not been punished but continued to enjoy the treatment of a master.

The dinner was a very pleasant and enjoyable experience.

Xia Jiechuan also brought Xia Youmi a gift: a medal from the academy, with the character "Xia" engraved on it in silver—simple and understated.

Immediately, Xia Youmi had Nianzhu go to the small storeroom to choose a return gift: a small jade inkstone, which looked nice but was useless.

Both of these items can be used in emergencies, so they complement each other.

Midnight,

Xia Youmi had trouble sleeping; there were only seven days left.

If this attempt fails, I'll have to pack up and move into the Fourth Prince's residence.

Ever since she last met Chunyu Huai, she has realized that her role as a tool still exists, and she cannot change it by being ignored.

As an emperor, he needed someone to help him understand emotions and realize their uncontrollability, so that he could use them in return.

The Fourth Prince's harem was relatively clean, partly because the women there were from noble families, were more thoughtful, and wouldn't easily resort to underhanded tactics.

Another factor was Chunyu Huai's complete indifference.

He wouldn't even notice them; he'd rather be busy with his own affairs in the backyard and solving more problems and approving more memorials.

However, since the exception appeared, he has been on the path of balancing relationships.

He then discovered that by leveraging their affections, he could easily gain more support, and many laborious and complex conflicts could be resolved with ideal fluctuations through the manipulation of the inner palace. From then on, in addition to matters of the court, the power struggles within the harem also became a source of enjoyment.

Chunyu Huai truly became a cold-blooded monster.

They are also cursed and can never receive true love again.

In the end, one can console oneself with the thought that one loves power more and loves the world more.

If it weren't for Xia Youmi's swift decision to end the marriage, which angered him to the point of losing his composure and causing his death to be somewhat abrupt, then his death would have been unexpected.

Many people believed this, especially the descendants of the Chunyu clan. In their quest to recreate a golden age, they even studied the life of Emperor Xi Huai, learning from his philandering, his manipulation of power, and his eventual downfall.

It's a joke, a metaphor for the wings flapped by her, this tool.

Involuntary retaliation.

......

Jinhe Palace

The old emperor sent his chief eunuch to give the order to do everything possible to save Consort Yi. The entire Imperial Medical Academy followed the fourth prince's instructions and calmly continued to discuss state affairs with others.

He is the one who truly lives a free and easy life.

They won't invest much emotion in people they don't really care about.

If Consort Yi could have been a little more like her, she wouldn't have gotten so angry that she fell seriously ill time and time again.

The Imperial Medical Academy was racking its brains.

Because she had taken a life-saving medicine sixteen years ago, Consort Yi's health was not very good, but she was still able to live.

The Imperial Medical Academy was simultaneously exploring effective treatments and employing conservative treatment methods.

However, since the beginning of this year, her emotions have become increasingly out of control, and she often gets very angry. The conservative prescriptions are almost no longer able to keep her from getting worse.

At this time,

The military doctor who could write out the original prescription was found, and Qi Gui was also a person with a great talent in the way of using medicine.

After only a few days of learning about Consort Yi's condition, he came up with a general prescription for her recovery.

Even the people at the Imperial Hospital could see that if the dosage was precisely tailored to Consort Yi's condition, her recovery would be just around the corner.

Unfortunately, there wasn't time to verify it.

Consort Yi is in imminent danger!

They were stopped just as they were about to give her the new drug developed by Qi Gui.

Qi Gui said the dosage was unclear. If the wrong path was chosen, not only would half of the patient be cured, but the other half of their life would continue to hang on while they slowly studied the disease.

Instead, it will render the original conservative treatment ineffective.

If Consort Yi were to lose her temper again, she could very well lose her life.

now,

Which imperial physician would dare to make decisions for their master?

After Qi Gui finished speaking, he knelt down, buried his head, and dared not utter a sound.

Chunyu Huai was forced into the eye of the storm. The more filial he had been to the old emperor before, the more difficult things became this time.

He may bear the responsibility of choosing how his mother died.

Furthermore, both Chunyu Huai and Chunyu Xi couldn't understand why their mother was angry.

Looking at the little things in life, there are fewer and fewer unpleasant things happening.

She explained the weight of the Wang family well, and her mother was quite satisfied! How could she be so angry as to vomit blood because of some of Aunt Hu's accusations against Wang Meisi?

My mother is not such a narrow-minded person.

Chunyu Huai probably didn't expect that Aunt Man's previous report would add fuel to the fire. Or perhaps, she was actually more concerned about Xia Youmi's flawless performance.

The person who pleases his beloved son, the person whom his maidservant subtly praises again and again.

She's Xia's daughter, trying to steal her son's attention.

How could she bear it? And she couldn't even say it out loud.

He was bottling up his own sorrows, and all it took was a little stirring from Wang's daughter.

It will then explode, pushing itself into the ground.

In the spring of the thirty-fifth year of the Xi Jia reign, Consort Yi passed away.

She was posthumously honored as Consort Yu and buried in the Xi Dong Mausoleum.
