My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage -
Chapter 300 - 301
Chapter 300: 301
"What is express delivery?"
Zhuang Lin, now, was quite interested in any new idea that came from Chu Nanli’s mouth.
Whether his fortunes could double again relied entirely on Chu Nanli.
Chu Nanli was just about to explain when her expression suddenly changed.
A faint pain in her lower abdomen surged up, accompanied by nausea.
It was likely because she had spent too much energy today, and the baby inside her was starting to act up.
"Miss Chu, are you alright?"
Seeing Chu Nanli’s face turn pale in an instant, Zhuang Lin also began to worry.
"It’s nothing, just a bit of a cold recently, some medicine will do the trick."
Chu Nanli forced down the discomfort in her heart, waved her hand at Zhuang Lin, indicating she was alright.
However, Zhuang Lin clearly remained worried about her condition.
"Are you really alright? Isn’t there a saying, ’physicians shouldn’t treat themselves’?"
"How about I go fetch a doctor to come have a look?"
He had promised in a letter the day before that he would help take care of Chu Nanli.
If something happened to Chu Nanli’s health, how could he explain it to Ye Jiuxiao?
"I have already taken medicine, having another doctor come to prescribe more could lead to conflict in the drug effects."
Chu Nanli quickly motioned with her hand, understanding that Zhuang Lin meant well.
Yet, at this critical juncture, she dared not allow an external doctor to check her pulse.
"Then Miss Chu, rest well, I’ll arrange things in the martial arts school with Brother Chu Yi over the next two days."
Seeing Chu Nanli was in true discomfort, Zhuang Lin tactfully suggested leaving.
"Yanyan, escort Manager Zhuang out."
Currently, she couldn’t even manage to see the guests out herself.
After Zhuang Lin left, Chu Nanli immediately entered the space.
Lying inside the nutrition pod, the nauseous feeling was somewhat alleviated.
In reality, her symptoms worsening over the past two days was also because Lin Fuying had schemed against her.
Luckily, she hadn’t eaten the pastries Lin Fuying had brought that day.
If she had, the consequences would definitely have been even more severe.
Her plan was to use the childbirth cases she had gathered to train emergency birth physicians before going into labor.
In the event something happened to her, there would be contingency measures.
The Imperial Physicians in the palace, she dared not use.
...
Ye Yunting left Lin Fuying’s courtyard, and it was already late.
"Where is that woman?"
Ye Yi quickly realized whom he was referring to, "Subordinate saw you were focused on taking care of the Concubine, so I have already sent someone to inform the Princess Consort that you had urgent matters to attend to today and couldn’t meet with the Princess Consort."
"What did she say?"
Ye Yunting had numerous thoughts in his mind, and he had not anticipated that Yingying would fall ill at this time.
Could it really be that woman, Chu Nanli, who did something to Yingying?
However, he had always been a man who kept his promises.
In the end, he too had broken a promise today.
He was willing to begrudgingly give that woman another chance.
Ye Yi did not go personally, but from the descriptions of those who returned with messages, he always felt that the Princess Consort seemed quite pleased?
"The Princess Consort said she has other matters to attend to these few days, and since the Prince has obligations today, she suggested discussing things with you another time," Ye Yi relayed.
A touch of subtle displeasure crossed Ye Yunting’s mind, "Am I someone she can see whenever she wishes?"
In his view, even if he was occupied and couldn’t meet with Chu Nanli, she should have come only to be turned away at the door.
Wasn’t it always like this before?
"Even if that woman begs to see me, I will not grant her an audience again!"
Ye Yi could only agree to Yunting’s words, daring not to tell Chu Nanli.
He always had the feeling, though he wasn’t sure if it was just his perception, that the Princess Consort had become less enthusiastic towards the Prince than before.
Unfortunately, Yunting never noticed this.
And after Yunting had left, Lin Fuying, who had just been nearly dead sick, suddenly recovered her spirit.
"Is Yunting planning to meet that despicable woman again?"
Just as Chu Nanli had guessed, Lin Fuying was not very confident now.
Though Yunting had stayed because of her words,
his attitude was not even one-tenth of that shown to Bai Wuheng.
All her efforts to appear weak and win his favor failed to elicit Yunting’s sympathy.
He had stayed only because of their childhood connection.
Not because of romantic affection.
"How could that be? I have already inquired, after the Prince stayed, he sent someone to inform the Princess Consort immediately."
"Ultimately, the Prince cares more about you, the Concubine; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so anxious."
Xiaoyun hurriedly approached Lin Fuying, skillfully flattering her.
"The Princess Consort now, who knows where she might be feeling heartbroken!"
"Indeed, in Yunting’s heart, he ultimately cares about me."
Thinking of Chu Nanli secretly being devastated, Lin Fuying could not suppress the smile at the corner of her mouth.
She thought, how could Chu Nanli possibly outwit her?
A cruel light flashed in Lin Fuying’s eyes, "How did the search for the person I asked you to find go?"
"I have tried my best, but it’s hard to find someone willing to risk their life for silver coins to falsely accuse the Princess Consort."
Xiaoyun spoke with trepidation.
Finding such a person was not just difficult; it was like finding a needle in a haystack.
"Then you don’t think to look for some desperadoes? They don’t actually have to do anything; just publicly admit that they were that despicable woman’s adulterer — that’s enough!"
"Best if they could admit it in front of Yunting, the uglier the words the better!"
By then, whether Chu Nanli was really carrying an illegitimate child or not, she could make sure she had nowhere to bury her body!
"I understand."
Xiaoyun, far from feeling guilty for abetting tyranny, was already calculating how much she could gain from this.
More importantly, if she could successfully help the Concubine with this matter,
she would certainly be valued more by the Concubine in the future!
...
After Zhuang Lin returned, he quickly wrote a confidential letter and sent it to the south.
By the time Ye Jiuxiao received the letter, it was already the evening of the next day.
The Southern Border was humid and hot, and Ye Jiuxiao’s entourage had adopted the local attire.
Only Ye Jiuxiao still wore a dark colored brocade robe, tightly covering every inch of his skin.
His entire person exuded a sickly paleness.
However, compared to the last time he came to the south, his trip this time was clearly much better.
After opening the letter from Zhuang Lin, Ye Jiuxiao saw the description and involuntarily furrowed his brow.
"Is it just a cold that’s afflicting Chu Nanli?"
Recalling some facts he had previously learned, Ye Jiuxiao didn’t think that Chu Nanli’s discomfort was just from a cold.
She might have been fundamentally injured while at the War King Residence.
However, since Chu Nanli had been able to cure him, she must also be capable of taking care of her own health.
"This king remembers there are quite a few rare medicinal herbs in the south, aren’t there?"
Ye Jiuxiao’s fingers tapped the table intermittently, already deep in thought.
"Have someone find medicinal herbs that can nourish the body and send them back to the capital at full speed."
