Mo Zhaohua played chess with the Eighth Prince for a long time, and the game was very close, just like the last time at Prince Jin's Mansion.
But this time the winner was decided, and in the end Mo Zhaohua was the better one.
The eighth prince accepted his defeat sincerely, "Sister-in-law, you are amazing."
Mo Zhaohua said modestly: "Xuan Yi is not much behind. Please come to the mansion more often when you have time."
She was modest but also a little surprised. She had acquired such chess skills because she had lived two lifetimes, but the Eighth Prince was only seventeen years old.
"Avoid suspicion." The Eighth Prince was willing to go to Prince Yu's Palace, but he didn't dare to do so because not every brother would trust him.
Mo Zhaohua understood that he was just trying to protect himself. "It's really hard for you. You are so nervous and cautious. You are walking on thin ice."
The Eighth Prince glanced at the clepsydra and said, "Return to the palace."
Mo Zhaohua did not try to persuade him to stay, "Okay, I'll go with you to find Jiashan."
Afterwards, the two of them left Luofengju together. When Mo Zhaohua came back, the Eighth Prince was no longer there.
Chu Xuanchi closed his eyes slightly, leaning against the tub to soak in the medicinal bath. He opened his eyes when he heard the voice, "Old Eight and Jiashan are gone?"
Wuying quickly stood up, without interrupting their conversation, bowed silently, and moved a chair to the bathtub.
Mo Zhaohua lowered her eyebrows and smiled as she sat down, "Yes, today I was able to confirm Eighth Prince's feelings for my husband, and I am relieved."
Chu Xuanchi sighed lightly, "It seems that Lao Ba has suffered a lot of grievances over the years, otherwise, at his age, he wouldn't be so cautious."
Mo Zhaohua felt a pain in his heart. "Even with the Queen Mother and Consort De around, my eighth brother has had such a hard time. I can only imagine how my husband must have felt back then..."
As time passed, Chu Xuanchi no longer cared, but seeing her expression, he couldn't help but have some thoughts, "Is Zhao Zhao distressed again?"
"It hurts!" Mo Zhaohua looked at him with pain in her eyes and said firmly, "I will do my best to make up for what my husband has lost."
Chu Xuanchi gathered his thoughts and said, "Silly girl, haven't you given me so much? Family, affection, and true love."
"No, this is not enough, I want more." Mo Zhaohua wanted a child, wanted their Chen'er to come back.
Chu Xuanchi knew that she wanted a child, "I understand Zhao Zhao's heart, but don't be greedy. It's good now, be careful not to overdo it."
***
That night, the East Palace.
The night was dim and the Crown Prince and Crown Princess had gone to bed.
The Crown Princess spoke softly, "The Granddaughter of the Duke of Fuguo has performed her coming-of-age ceremony today."
Under the veil, the prince reached out and took her into his arms, hugging her, "Rou'er, are you planning to take advantage of her?"
The Crown Princess said, "That girl has a very good personality and is very close to Princess Yu. It would be beneficial for Brother Chen to take her as a concubine."
She has no children yet, and even though the prince has repeatedly stated that he will never take a concubine, she doesn't want to be so selfish and wants to help him.
Rong Yue is an excellent candidate for a concubine. Not only can she help him gain the power of the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion, but she can even get the help of Prince Yu.
The prince was very determined, "Not to mention that the Duke of Fuguo has already mentioned that he wants to keep her for two more years. Even if he hadn't said that, I would not have taken a concubine."
The Crown Princess was very afraid that she would become an obstacle to him. "Brother Chen is the one who will ascend the throne in the future. How can he really only have Rou'er as his woman?"
"Just because others can't do it doesn't mean I can't do it!" The prince said, "Even if I really can't do it in the future, I still have to do it now."
The Crown Princess was touched and worried, half happy and half sad, "Brother Chen, how can you make Rouer feel? I always feel like I have hurt you."
"You didn't harm me, I did it willingly." The prince sighed, "I don't believe it. Royal family members are born heartless and only care about interests."
"Brother Chen..." The Crown Princess moaned and hugged him tightly.
The prince solemnly promised, "If I can successfully ascend the throne in the future, I will also be a wise ruler with flesh and blood, affection and righteousness."
***
Prince Yu’s Palace, west wing in the backyard.
Mo Zhaohua was giving Chu Xuanchi acupuncture treatment as usual.
Chu Xuanchi suggested: "Tomorrow there will be a New Year's Palace Banquet. How about we go to the palace early and greet each palace first?"
"Okay." Mo Zhaohua said happily, "These two medicinal baths have been very effective under the stimulation of my inner strength."
The time of the two medicinal baths was very close. If she had not had the internal strength to help him absorb it, she would never dare to let him take a bath.
Chu Xuanchi was overjoyed, "I felt the same way. I was able to lift my legs higher today. Zhao Zhao can always surprise me."
Mo Zhaohua hesitated for a moment, but finally asked tentatively, "Would you like to give it a try, my husband?"
The internal energy and mental method of "Su Nu Heart Sutra" greatly helped her medical skills, thus greatly improving the treatment effect.
"Try, try what?" Although Chu Xuanchi had some guesses in his mind, he didn't dare to believe it and was indeed not ready.
Mo Zhaohua knew that he had guessed it, so he gently encouraged him, "Try to stand up!"
Chu Xuanchi's heart trembled, and he became visibly nervous, "Can I stand up now?"
Mo Zhaohua didn't dare to give him too much hope, "I don't know either, but there's nothing to lose by trying, right?"
Wuying said excitedly: "Master, from what I understand, since the princess mentioned this, she must have some certainty."
He also wanted to remain calm, but he knew that Mo Zhaohua was always very cautious and would never let Chu Xuanchi try this for no reason.
"You're right, then..." Chu Xuanchi was also moved, and clenched his hands on the wheelchair armrests, "Let's give it a try."
"Okay, after I remove the needle, you will make the first attempt." Mo Zhaohua specifically mentioned the first attempt, which shows his cautiousness.
After waiting for a while after the acupuncture, Mo Zhaohua pulled out the needle. Wuying hurriedly took it over and cleaned it so that the matter could be finished as soon as possible.
Chu Xuanchi was able to remain calm in the face of the Nanzhao Kingdom's massive army, but now he was visibly nervous, "Do you want to try now?"
Mo Zhaohua reached out to support him, "Well...husband, be careful, don't be anxious, take your time, we are not in a hurry."
"Okay..." Chu Xuanchi was supported by Mo Zhaohua on one side and Wuying on the other. He used their strength to stand up first.
After he stood firm, Mo Zhaohua reminded him, "Husband, we're letting go. You try to see if you can stand on your own."
"Hmm..." Chu Xuanchi responded softly, and clenched his hands hanging on both sides of his legs into fists, ready to meet the challenge.
Mo Zhaohua winked at Wuying, and then they both let go of Chu Xuanchi, and saw that he was still standing steadily in the same place.
Wuying was so excited that he stuttered, "Stop, stop."
Chu Xuanchi's heart was also pounding. Thinking that he could lift his legs a little, he subconsciously took a step forward, but his center of gravity was unstable and he leaned forward.
"Be careful!" Mo Zhaohua reached out and grabbed him in time, "I just reminded you, how come you forgot? Are you still disobedient?"
Fortunately, Wuying on the other side was also quick-witted and agile, otherwise she would not only fail to hold Chu Xuanchi back by herself, but would also be dragged down by him.
