C17 (1/2)
By the time Zhan Xiaolou left the Qu Family, it was already close to evening. After lunch, she was summoned by the empress.
The empress had not actually sought out Lou Lan for any major reason, but she had wanted to ask the First Prince if what he had said was true.
Zhan Xiaolou wasn't used to interacting with the empress at first, but after seeing how concerned the empress was for the First Prince's health, he understood that no matter how powerful she was, she was still just a mother.
It was not easy to explain the First Prince's situation to Zhan Xiaolou, but Zhan Xiaolou hinted at the Empress.
Thinking back to the empress's expression, Zhan Xiaolou could only sigh.
After checking the First Prince's pulse, Zhan Xiaolou gave the prescription to the First Prince. In their royal family, one prescription required many people to confirm.
Finally, Zhan Xiaolou made an agreement with the First Prince that after the First Prince had confirmed the medicinal formula and made the medicine, he would first consume the medicine that she had given him before taking the soup.
Zhan Xiaolou used the same excuse that he had used to explain the results of the pregnancy. She had picked this up deep in the mountains. There weren't many of them, so she still needed the First Prince to keep it a secret.
Every genius doctor had a secret formula that they did not impart to others. From the First Prince's point of view, this strange color of the fruit was the secret formula for Battling Towers.
On the way back from the Qu Clan, the Qu Clan had sent their housekeeper to send them off again. However, this time, when the carriage had just reached the street corner of the Southern City, Zhan Xiaolou asked to get off the carriage.
”Ma'am, what do you have to do?”
The steward was very careful. After all, Zhan Xiaolou had already arranged a marriage with him. If Zhan Xiaolou wasn't satisfied with her, she, as a steward, would do the job.
The carriage got off and stopped in front of the butler, shaking his head slightly. ”It has nothing to do with you. I'm the one waiting for you.”
