Chu Xuanchi also knew that it was not easy for him to take a medicinal bath now, and he had waited for a long time before he had a second chance.
But he didn't want to make things difficult for Fuguogong and Rongqing. Even though they were his elders, the royal rule was to discuss the monarch and his subjects first.
He could only give up. "Given their status, it would be difficult for Grandfather and Mother-in-law to stop us. I will get up first."
Mo Zhaohua didn't want to miss this opportunity, and his mind was racing. Seeing that he was about to stand up, he quickly stood up and held his shoulders.
"No, I will use the excuse my husband just gave me to entertain them in the main hall. They can't break into the bedroom."
Chu Xuanchi frowned, "I'm afraid that the eighth prince rarely comes out to wait for the door, and he is a man, so he might really come in."
Wuying said confidently, "Master, rest assured. I will stop the Eighth Prince outside and will never let him enter the bedroom."
"Let's do this for now. I'll go out and make preparations." Mo Zhaohua had no other choice. The treatment had to be kept secret as best as possible.
The more people who know about it, the greater the chance of being exposed. If Emperor Wenzong finds out, he may no longer tolerate Chu Xuanchi.
Not long after Mo Zhaohua returned to the main hall, the Eighth Prince and Princess Jiashan entered Luofengju.
Princess Jiashan knelt down and bowed, "I am fifth sister-in-law, how are you?"
The Eighth Prince followed behind with a shy smile on his face, "My dear sister-in-law, Hello!"
Mo Zhaohua had already stood up to greet them, speaking gently, "Eighth brother, Jiashan, why did you come here suddenly?"
Princess Jiashan sat down with a smile, "Just like the emperor's sister-in-law, I came to visit my grandfather and aunt on the Double Ninth Festival."
"Jiashan has grown up and become more filial." Mo Zhaohua didn't believe it. In the past few years, Chongyang and his sister had never left the palace.
Princess Jiashan couldn't hold it in any longer, "No, Jiashan wanted to see my brother and sister-in-law, but you left too fast..."
She really couldn't keep anything hidden in her heart and had to say it out loud. She immediately told Mo Zhaohua everything that happened in the morning.
Mo Zhaohua finally understood why Concubine De had not mentioned it this morning. "I see. I'm so sorry. I made this trip to Jiashan in vain."
"It doesn't matter. It's even better now. I've met my grandfather and aunt, as well as my sister-in-law. Oh, and where's my fifth brother?"
Princess Jiashan looked outside the door from time to time after she sat down, but she never saw Chu Xuanchi come in, so she asked.
Mo Zhaohua said perfunctorily: "We originally planned to return home earlier, but my husband was not feeling well, so we stayed here first."
"Has the injury recurred? Jiashan will go to see the fifth brother now." Princess Jiashan immediately stood up and was about to go out.
Mo Zhaohua quickly stopped him, "He was in so much pain before, and it was hard for him to fall asleep. Why don't you not go over there yet?"
Princess Jiashan stopped and looked back at her, "But Jiashan hasn't seen the fifth brother for a long time, can you take a look?"
The Eighth Prince fell silent after greeting them, listening to their conversation quietly, occasionally sniffing and looking around.
Mo Zhaohua was about to persuade him again, but he suddenly said, "Don't go."
Princess Jiashan knew that he was a man of few words, so she was stunned when she heard this, "Royal brother?"
The Eighth Prince did not explain anything. He just raised his hand and pointed at the chair she had just sat on, motioning her to sit down. "Be good..."
"Okay." Princess Jiashan listened to him anyway, and she also hoped that he would take her out of the palace to play more often in the future.
"Sister-in-law, I'm busy now." The Eighth Prince stood up. "See you next time."
Princess Jiashan was reluctant, "Ah? You're leaving so soon. Jiashan and the Fifth Sister-in-law still have a lot to talk about."
The Eighth Prince walked up to her and gently pulled her sleeve. "Next time."
Mo Zhaohua was suspicious, but didn't ask any more questions. "Okay, come to Prince Yu's Mansion when you have time. My husband and I will entertain you."
The Eighth Prince blushed and smiled, "Thank you, sister-in-law..."
Mo Zhaohua saw them out of the yard and watched them leave. Only after they were far away did he turn around and go back to the bedroom.
She walked to the bathtub and sat down. "My husband, I guess the Eighth Prince may be suspicious of what happened today."
The skin on Chu Xuanchi's shoulder had turned red. "No, I have discovered something unusual, so I took the initiative to stop Jiashan."
Mo Zhaohua stretched out his hand to test the water temperature, and it was much colder. "Huh? My husband wasn't at the scene, how did you know about this?"
Chu Xuanchi had already investigated the Eighth Prince. "Unless it is necessary, the Eighth Prince will never speak. He was just helping us cover up."
"I was going to say that he sniffed several times and looked around, but now there's no need to say anything more."
Mo Zhaohua has always found it easy to chat with Chu Xuanchi. He knows what she knows and thinks what she thinks.
"With his brain, it's normal for him to be suspicious when the smell of medicine is so strong, but since he's willing to help, we don't have to worry."
Chu Xuanchi had never considered the Eighth Prince an enemy, and now with the relationship with Mo Zhaohua, he felt more at ease as they were even closer.
Mo Zhaohua felt sorry and distressed, "It's such a pity for the Eighth Prince, ah..."
Chu Xuanchi also thought so, "He was born like this, there is nothing we can do about it, we can only accept it."
***
A few days later.
Chu Xuanchi fulfilled his promise and left the house with Mo Zhaohua and Mu Xueyan.
Mu Xueyan sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked out, "Finally, I can see Shengjing."
Tao Yao naturally followed suit, "That's right, this time His Highness finally stopped coaxing the young lady."
Mu Xueyan pouted, "If he breaks his promise again, I won't trust him anymore. Let's go out and play by ourselves."
Tao Yao was very excited. "It's so lively outside. There are so many people and so many things we have never seen in Southern Xinjiang."
Mu Xueyan got bored after watching for a while, "It's really boring to sit in the car and watch. Let the driver stop the car. I want to get off and play."
Yueying was sitting on the carriage outside. Taoyao lowered her voice and said, "Your Highness is not able to walk properly now. Isn't this a bad idea?"
Mu Xueyan didn't care. "Doesn't he have a wheelchair? He can just let someone push him. How can I play if he has to stay in the wheelchair?"
As a maid, Taoyao could only persuade but not stop by force. If persuasion failed, she naturally had to ask the coachman to stop the carriage.
Chu Xuanchi and Mo Zhaohua's carriage was in front. When they learned that the carriage behind had stopped, they had no choice but to stop as well.
Wuying reported outside, "Master, Princess, Miss Mu wants to come down for a stroll."
Mo Zhaohua responded, "Tell her to wait and come down when we get to Yong'an Street."
Wuying asked Fengying to pass on the message, but Mu Xueyan refused and said, "No, I want to get off the car now."
Chu Xuanchi saw that she had already gotten off the car, so he had to follow Mo Zhaohua down. After all, today's thing was to accompany her out to play.
Mu Xueyan was dressed very neatly today. She walked to the wheelchair and asked, "Brother Yu Wang, is the whole Shengjing so lively?"
Chu Xuanchi was pushed by Wuying, "No, the princess specially found a lively and fun place for you, but now it's still separated by a street."
Mu Xueyan glanced at Mo Zhaohua and said, "Then Xue'er, don't go. Xue'er thinks this street is pretty good, let's go shopping here!"
