My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 191 - 192: Danger at Night?

Chapter 191: Chapter 192: Danger at Night?

On Lin Fuying’s side.

"Princess Consort, Chu Nanli really drank that entire big bowl of medicine."

Lin Fuying wasn’t surprised.

"Yunting personally delivered the medicine to her, how could she not drink it? I think this time she’ll be pleased to death!"

Lin Fuying was pruning the branches of flowers, feeling a surge of jealousy as she thought of Ye Yunting delivering the medicine to Chu Nanli without hesitation.

"Snap—"

With a clip, she accidentally damaged the flowers on the branch.

Dong Yue watched, her heart pounding with fear.

The goal was achieved, so why wasn’t the princess happy?

"Princess, Chu Nanli didn’t suspect anything, do we still need to keep an eye on her?"

Lin Fuying thought for a moment, "Keep watching her until she finishes a course of treatment."

This course of treatment lasted seven days, drinking continuously for seven days. Chu Nanli would truly become infertile, beyond the help of even a deity.

"Chu Nanli, if you have no offspring, see what you can use to compete with me!"

...

The next day, the medicine indeed arrived on time.

This time, it wasn’t Ye Yunting who delivered it.

Chu Nanli only pretended to drink it, then threw the medicine away.

Yanyan cast an admiring glance at Chu Nanli.

"Princess is truly all-knowing, the Prince really didn’t come personally."

"Of course, he has so many things to do, he doesn’t have time to keep an eye on me all the time."

Chu Nanli’s corners of her lips curled up.

"So today, we can go out for a walk."

Mengmeng was very efficient.

She had chosen a shop yesterday, started decorating and furnishing today, and it could be opened in as soon as three days.

When Chu Nanli entered the shop and saw that the tables and chairs were already set up, she gave Mengmeng an appreciative look.

"Princess, you’re here, perfect, you can name it."

"Um... do you have any ideas?" Chu Nanli deflected.

Mengmeng still didn’t know that Chu Nanli was terrible at naming things.

"This servant isn’t well-educated and doesn’t know any meaningful names," Mengmeng said unconfidently in a low voice.

"Let’s hear it," Chu Nanli encouraged, "A hot pot restaurant’s name, what does it matter if it’s meaningful or not."

"How about calling it ’Ten Li Fragrance Hot Pot Restaurant’?" Mengmeng suggested.

The fragrance that the Princess Consort created while cooking hot pot that day could definitely drift for ten li!

Chu Nanli outright called it professional.

Seeing that Chu Nanli approved of the name, Mengmeng also became happy, her crescent eyes narrowed into slits as she smiled.

However, she soon thought about how the Daxia Kingdom previously didn’t have hot pot and her face grew somber again.

Although hot pot tastes very fragrant, if people haven’t tried it, they won’t know its goodness.

"What’s wrong?" Chu Nanli asked.

"Princess, I’m a bit worried that most of the common people are resistant to new things," Mengmeng truthfully said.

Chu Nanli had also considered this issue.

"In that case, the first fifty customers on the opening day can try it for free."

The commoners of the Daxia Kingdom were not wealthy, and their reluctance to try new food stemmed from fear of it tasting bad and wasting money.

No sooner had Chu Nanli spoken than Mengmeng’s eyes lit up.

"Yes, if it’s a free tasting, then there’s no worry about no one coming to try! Once they’ve tried it, they’ll definitely want more!"

Mengmeng was confident in the taste of the hot pot!

Chu Nanli nodded, "Yes, that way, people will rush to get the free spots, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere."

Mengmeng had an epiphany.

"So it can be done like this, Princess is so clever!"

Chu Nanli barely held back her laughter.

This Mengmeng, just like Yanyan at the beginning, seemed like she’d joined a group where compliments are free-flowing.

"By the way, have someone make some promotional posters and distribute them on the street to the guests," she said.

"Also, specially make some invitations for the wife of the General Residence, Imperial Physician Zhuang from the Prime Minister Residence, Boss Zhuang Lin from the Auction Pavilion, Doctor Lin, and others," she instructed.

Chu Nanli thought for a moment and said, "These are all my friends, let them come and try the food for free."

It was a way to support her appearance.

Mengmeng would undoubtedly understand.

These people were all distinguished figures in the capital; if they all came to show their faces, the opening day would undoubtedly be booming.

While admiring the princess consort’s intelligence, Mengmeng was also surprised at how many impressive friends she had.

"Right, don’t forget there’s also Lin Xuanxuan from the Prime Minister Residence..." Chu Nanli added.

As for Ye Jiuxiao, Chu Nanli planned to personally go and tell him the news while also treating his Cold Poison.

Chu Nanli had been busy lately and had neglected Ye Jiuxiao.

Calculating the time, it was also time to administer his acupuncture and change his medicine.

Chu Nanli told Yanyan to go back first while she herself headed towards Prince Jiuxiao’s residence.

Upon reaching Prince Jiuxiao’s residence, she was again informed by the guard that Ye Jiuxiao had not yet returned.

Neither Lin the doctor nor Zero were present.

A flash of foreboding crossed Chu Nanli’s mind.

Ye Jiuxiao’s medicine should have run out by now, and his not returning yet could mean he had encountered some danger.

"Princess Consort, don’t worry; why don’t you go back and wait,

When the master returns, I will report to you," the guard said, seeing Chu Nanli’s worried expression and trying to comfort her.

The last time they saw Zero treating Chu Nanli with great respect, they knew she must be a valued guest of Prince Jiuxiao’s residence and must be treated well.

Chu Nanli hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is there any latest news about your prince?"

The guards looked at each other and shook their heads, "The prince’s movements are usually kept confidential; we don’t know either."

"Ye Jiuxiao has been away for so long; he might have encountered some troublesome matter,"

Chu Nanli furrowed her brows.

"Do you have any highly skilled soldiers or Hidden Guards in your residence?"

"Yes..." the guard nodded uncertainly.

Chu Nanli spoke seriously, "If you trust me, quickly send a few skilled in martial arts to look for Ye Jiuxiao. I’m afraid it will be too late, and he might be in danger."

Seeing Chu Nanli’s serious expression, which didn’t seem like a lie, and considering the prince’s safety, the guard agreed immediately.

"Thank you for the heads-up, I’ll send someone right away!"

After speaking, he hurriedly left.

He also admired Chu Nanli’s meticulous thoughts.

Apart from Ye Jiuxiao, there was no other master in their residence.

Neither the doctor Lin nor Zero, who usually managed affairs, were there.

They had no leader at that time.

That was why no one had realized that it had been a while since there was any news from the prince.

Seeing the guard’s efficient actions, Chu Nanli felt somewhat reassured.

She didn’t go directly back to the Prince Residence but went to find Zhuang Lin instead.

Zhuang Lin, besides the Auction Pavilion, was also the public face of the largest escort agency, "Xingtianxia."

"Yo, what wind has blown our busy great lady here?" Zhuang Lin joked.

Haven’t seen Chu Nanli for some days; he was almost out of Beauty Enhancement Pills.

"What kind of good medicine have you brought this time, Princess Consort?"

Chu Nanli felt somewhat guilty, "I’ve been busy recently and haven’t made any new elixirs."

"Huh?" Zhuang Lin squinted his eyes.

"I’m here to ask you for a favor," Chu Nanli said directly.

"Ah, I thought so, no visit without a cause. You only think of me when there’s something you need."

Zhuang Lin pretended to be heartbroken.

"What is it, tell me."

"Ye Jiuxiao hasn’t returned yet, and his medicine has run out," Chu Nanli said.

Zhuang Lin, who had been joking just now, became serious upon hearing Chu Nanli’s words.

"You said his medicine has run out?"
