My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 301 - 302: Protection

Chapter 301: Chapter 302: Protection

He hadn’t explicitly mentioned who it was for, but Zhuang Lin should understand once he received it.

Chu Nanli’s situation wasn’t good at that time, and an overt gesture would only add to her troubles.

As for the training methods that Chu Nanli had produced, Ye Jiuxiao had merely glanced at them and recognized their value.

If it could be implemented within the army, the results would definitely surpass what others might imagine.

"This thing is indeed interesting."

What Ye Jiuxiao was even more curious about at that moment was where Chu Nanli had obtained these materials from.

She was really becoming more interesting by the day.

After pondering for a moment, Ye Jiuxiao wrote down a few more lines.

Before leaving the capital, he had arranged for his people in the city to covertly observe Chu Nanli.

Unless Chu Nanli faced a life-threatening danger, she must not notice their presence.

Now, he had added another command.

That was to protect Chu Nanli unconditionally.

...

After searching for two days, Xiaoyun still hadn’t found a suitable candidate.

With no other choice, Xiaoyun had to return and report back to Lin Fuying.

"Useless!"

Lin Fuying glared at Xiaoyun with annoyance but refrained from hitting her like she would have done with Dong Yue.

"You can’t even handle this trivial matter?"

She really didn’t have anyone useful around her!

"This servant has tried her best, but those people became afraid once they heard the name of the War King Residence."

Although everyone in the capital knew that the Princess Consort didn’t enjoy the War King’s affection,

that didn’t mean anyone dared to take up this deadly task!

"So, did you find out anything by watching that vile woman?"

Impatience filled Lin Fuying’s eyes.

She was unable to confirm whether Chu Nanli was actually carrying a bastard in her womb now,

nor could she arrange for someone to play the role of a lover.

Everything truly was going against her!

"It might be that the Princess Consort has become cautious. These past few days, she has barely stepped out of the house."

Xiaoyun spoke cautiously, afraid that a slip could provoke Lin Fuying to vent her anger on her.

She definitely did not want to become a venting tool like Dong Yue.

"She hasn’t left the house?"

Lin Fuying raised an eyebrow and began to think deeply.

"Could it be possible that that vile woman is keeping a lover inside her house?"

She remembered that Chu Nanli indeed had a handsome guard by her side.

Perhaps she could use this point to craft some accusations.

"However, someone did go to visit the Princess Consort. That Zhuang Imperial Physician has been quite diligent."

Xiaoyun hadn’t actually seen this herself, but to curry favor with Lin Fuying, she spoke as though it were true.

"Besides Zhuang Muyan, has anyone else visited?"

Lin Fuying had seen Zhuang Muyan, and judging by his silly and simple demeanor, he didn’t seem capable of being a lover.

Moreover, she had once accused them in front of Ye Yunting of having an affair.

But in the end, it had all been useless.

"There is indeed a man who is unfamiliar to me and who came over a couple of times," Xiaoyun did not know Zhuang Lin’s identity, "but each time the Princess Consort met them, it was in broad daylight, and nothing suspicious was visible, even the main gate was kept wide open."

"So what if it’s in broad daylight! That flirtatious wretch, I simply don’t believe she hasn’t entertained any ideas!"

Lin Fuying always liked to use her dark thoughts to speculate about others.

Now was no exception.

In her view, Chu Nanli was merely trying to emulate the tactics she had used to win over men.

Unfortunately, Chu Nanli’s taste in men was not very good.

She chose only useless men.

Especially that Zhuang Muyan, who was just a minor Imperial Physician in the Imperial Medical Bureau, without a top-tier family background.

Unlike Bai Wuheng, who was always wholeheartedly devoted to her.

Thinking of this, Lin Fuying’s eyes suddenly lit up, "If that’s the case, you quietly arrange for someone to thoroughly discuss everything that happened after she moved out of the Prince Residence."

It would be best if you could concoct quite a few scandals.

A distinguished Princess Consort, first had a fallout with the Prince and moved out of the Prince Residence.

Acting unseemly outside alone, committing many deeds that tarnish her reputation.

Once these rumors ferment, I do not believe Chu Nanli can still sit securely as the Princess Consort!

Perhaps because things had been going too smoothly for her recently, Lin Fuying forgot that right after Chu Nanli moved out, Ye Yunting immediately had the news sealed off.

To outsiders, Chu Nanli still appeared to be within the Prince Residence.

Even less was known about this within the palace.

If she were to blow this matter up, the first to be affected would definitely not be Chu Nanli.

Unfortunately, she was too eager to doom Chu Nanli and failed to notice this point entirely.

...

Chu Nanli had reduced the frequency of her outings, not just to guard against Lin Fuying.

In fact, her pregnancy symptoms had become more severe.

Besides morning sickness, other symptoms followed one after another.

Had she not prepared in advance, she might have been confined to bed by now.

"Master, I’ve organized everything the Imperial Physicians from the palace have said,"

Zhuang Muyan moved quickly, pulling every Imperial Physician who had treated pregnant concubines from the Imperial Medical Bureau to share their experiences.

This also included many secret palace recipes.

"Master, should I learn these things as well?"

Zhuang Muyan, still unmarried, had even less experience with such matters.

It was as if he had steeled himself when he fervently said, "I always remember master’s teachings. If advancing my medical skills involves learning how to assist in childbirth, I’m willing to do so!"

This would also be a way of carrying out the medical mission of saving lives.

"What are you thinking!"

Chu Nanli grabbed a book and irately tapped him on the head.

Even if Zhuang Muyan was willing to learn, in such a conservative era regarding the separation of sexes, it was doubtful any woman would allow him to assist.

"I plan to find two midwives with a foundation in medicine and teach them these things."

"Is master planning to take on more disciples?"

Faced with Zhuang Muyan’s question, Chu Nanli did not answer directly.

Letting him misunderstand was also not a problem.

"If that’s the case, I can start by teaching them some of the basics. The methods recorded here are detailed enough that anyone with some foundation can learn them."

Although Zhuang Muyan did not know why Chu Nanli wanted to do this,

ever since he knew Chu Nanli had been mentored by Liuli, his trust and reverence for her had reached unparalleled heights.
