Chapter 1294: Chapter 1291: Falling into the Trap
“Duke Zheng had visited many times, but each time, the Elder Princess found a reason to refuse him.”
“Then why did she send the person away this time?” Ye Muyu always felt the situation was riddled with mysteries, each person’s reaction exceeding her expectations. Yet upon closer inspection, it seemed not surprising.
Lu Sangqi said, “Madam Tang collaborated with the Elder Princess to find someone to treat the Young Prince’s illness, so naturally, the Elder Princess was reluctant to let her go.”
“This time she let people go because you must have heard about the Commandery Prince’s affairs?”
Speaking of Huo Zixing, it is necessary to mention his ventures of farming at the Manor.
Huo Zixing was indeed farming, and the Elder Princess adamantly did not let any servants attend him, but the crops had to be harvested to fulfill the task assigned by the Emperor.
After seeking help several times, he ended up receiving an imperial decree directly from the Imperial Palace.

Even if Huo Zixing was bold, he wouldn’t dare to defy the Emperor’s orders.
Every day, he dragged Aunt Qiao to farm with him.
They were farming wheat in the fields.
Both were prestigious figures, unaccustomed to such tasks.
Huo Zixing enjoyed romance and preferred not to engage in hard labor, so the responsibility fell on Aunt Qiao.
In the beginning, Aunt Qiao, to gain Huo Zixing’s favor, personally handled everything, taking care of him thoroughly and even drew portraits for her specifically.
But as time passed, no matter how careful Aunt Qiao was, her hands coarsened and her skin darkened from the relentless daily toil, and she also had to attend to Huo Zixing every night.
It was no surprise that Aunt Qiao couldn’t endure it.
Struggling with fatigue, she still had to toil day and night with Huo Zixing.
After three months of effort, Aunt Qiao became pregnant.
Thus, Huo Zixing excitedly sent a message to the Elder Princess, requesting her permission for Aunt Qiao to return to the mansion to nurture her pregnancy while he stayed behind to farm.
The Elder Princess immediately agreed and proactively sent a beauty to Huo Zixing.
“And then?” Ye Muyu listened, finding the narration extremely fascinating, “It’s just a surprising twist that Aunt Qiao, despite her age, got pregnant again.”
“Aunt Qiao wanted to stay, but also disliked the hardships. Eventually, she agreed to return to the mansion; however, she frequently sent food to the Little Prince,” said Lu Sangqi, discussing these gossips with an expressionless face and even a hint of reluctance. Seeing Ye Muyu’s enjoyment, he sighed softly and naturally continued.
“No wonder Aunt Qiao gained the Little Prince’s affection, she responds so quickly,” Ye Muyu first expressed her amazement, then curiously inquired about the Little Prince and the concubine’s situation: “Has the concubine gained the Little Prince’s affection?”
“She has, and the concubine is also pregnant now, even helping the Little Prince harvest the wheat,” Lu Sangqi responded.
Ye Muyu was astounded: “Impressive.”
“So what does this have to do with the Liu family?”
“That concubine is from the Liu family.” Lu Sangqi also discovered this by accident, and after saying it, he cautioned: “Ah Yu, don’t divulge this. The Elder Princess and the Liu family don’t know that I’m aware of this.”
“Could you be in trouble?” Ye Muyu pondered for a moment; no wonder the Elder Princess also showed weakness, as the Liu family had evidently grabbed some leverage. Regardless of whether the Little Prince liked that concubine or not, the Liu family could create issues through her.
To maintain stability, the Princess’ Mansion could only choose to let Madam Tang return.
“Has the person Madam Tang mentioned for treating the Princely Heir’s illness been found?” Ye Muyu mused.
“I’m fine, no one has noticed what I’m doing,” Lu Sangqi reassured her, “They are still searching, and news has already come, but…”
