Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 872: Chapter 872: Phoenix Dominates the Landscape (14)

Ning Yao has no evidence, otherwise she would have made a fuss long ago.

Now she only dares to privately ask Chuzheng.

However, from Chuzheng’s reaction, Ning Yao, trusting her intuition, feels certain that Chuzheng is behind this.

But why did she hit me?

She left at that time, and why did those Imperial Guards lie for her?

Since she woke up, things have been strange...

Chuzheng didn’t want to talk much to her and directly boarded the carriage.

Ning Yao stood in place for a moment until someone called her, and then she turned and left.

-

Chuzheng returned to the Ziwei Palace.

As soon as she entered, an unfamiliar Palace Attendant hurriedly walked out, bumping into Mu Mian.

Mu Mian frowned, ”How are you walking?”

The Palace Attendant got startled and looked up, seemingly not recognizing them.

But this is the Ziwei Palace, and dressed like that, he must be someone important.

The Palace Attendant quickly knelt down, ”The servant admits his mistake.”

”Which palace do you belong to?” Mu Mian observed him, ”Why haven’t I seen you before?”

The kneeling Palace Attendant looked fair and youthful, exuding a clever demeanor.

Mu Mian manages all affairs of the Ziwei Palace; she knows clearly who is in the palace.

Yet this person seemed very unfamiliar.

”The servant is called He Zhi, and serves under Attendant Lord Yann.”

”?”

Mu Mian was bewildered.

”Who is Attendant Lord Yann?”

He Zhi respectfully replied, ”The Attendant Lord of Her Royal Highness the Grand Imperial Princess.”

Mu Mian looked at Chuzheng in astonishment.

”...”

”...”

The two exchanged confused glances.

Since when did Her Highness have an Attendant Lord! How come she didn’t know?!

Chuzheng was equally perplexed.

The original character also had an Attendant Lord?!

Why hadn’t she heard of it before?

It’s not even in the memories!

Where did this Attendant Lord come from?

Did she enter the wrong palace?

Should she go out and check if this is really Ziwei Palace...

In front of so many people, Chuzheng wouldn’t dare do such a thing.

-

The past few days Chuzheng was away, Her Majesty the Empress had sent this person over.

Just an Attendant Lord, no need for formalities, he was directly moved in.

The reason sounded dignified and proper.

Saying she’s not young, should have someone to attend to her.

Chuzheng saw it as someone sent to monitor her.

It’s the emperor’s tactic.

I understand it well.

[Hidden Task: Please acquire one Yann Ge Good Person Card to save the corrupted Yann Ge.]

Glory Number spoke up weakly.

Chuzheng: ”...”

A Good Person Card, huh.

If it were a Bastard instead, surely it would only pop up after she threw the person out.

Glory Number is indeed more considerate.

Though this scenario wasn’t in the original plot.

After all, in the original, soon the main character would meet their end.

It’s likely her actions sparked the Empress’s suspicion and sent someone over to keep an eye on her.

The Empress probably didn’t anticipate sending a corrupted innocent soul.

Surprise, isn’t it?

Unexpected, right!

Chuzheng walked inside with hands behind her back, ”Let him come to see me.”

He Zhi had already learned that this was Her Royal Highness the Grand Imperial Princess.

”Your Highness, Attendant Lord, he... is sick. The servant was rushing to the Imperial Physician, which is why I collided with you,” He Zhi carefully explained.

”Sick?” How is the Good Person Card so weak? ”What’s the illness?”

”Attendant Lord caught a chill and now has a persistent high fever.”

Catching a chill leads to high fever, a fragile doll it seems!

Before even meeting, Chuzheng had already tagged the Good Person Card as a fragile doll.

Chuzheng instructed Mu Mian, ”Go call the Imperial Physician over to take a look.”

”Yes.”

Mu Mian dazedly walked out of the Ziwei Palace.

Is Her Highness intending to keep this forcibly placed Attendant Lord?

Though hadn’t seen this Attendant Lord yet, someone sent by Her Majesty the Empress shouldn’t be too bad...

-

Chuzheng didn’t go to see this Yann Attendant Lord; she went back to her room as she needed rest.

That damn carriage ride was too bumpy!

Her behind is almost worn out.

He Zhi initially went to invite the Imperial Physician, but Mu Mian went, Chuzheng also left, so he stood there for a bit, and returned somewhat bewildered.

Since Chuzheng wasn’t there, they chose a side hall to stay in.

At this moment, the side hall was extremely quiet, He Zhi pushed the door open, bypassed the screen and the hanging curtains, and walked over to the bedside.

”Young Master, Her Highness is back.”

The bed was shielded by curtains, faintly showing someone sitting inside, but appearances were unclear.

”What did she say?”

The voice that came out was slightly hoarse, accompanied by a soft cough.

”Your Highness didn’t say much, just had her people call the Imperial Physician,” He Zhi answered.

”She said nothing?”

”Nothing.”

The person on the bed sat for a while, lay down, and pulled the nearby blanket over himself, waiting for the Imperial Physician.

He Zhi actually went to call once, but the Imperial Physician hadn’t arrived.

Mu Mian went personally, and the Imperial Physician returned with her.

Mu Mian, curious about this Attendant Lord, followed the Physician into the room without leaving.

Unfortunately, the curtains blocked her view of anything.

The Physician didn’t dare lift the curtains; a hand reached out from inside, allowing the Physician to check the pulse.

That wrist was excessively white, nearly transparent, with visible veins, slender fingers, distinct joints, nails trimmed smoothly, glowing with a radiant whiteness.

Such beautiful hands...

The Physician placed a thin layer of silk on it before diagnosing.

”This...” the Physician hesitated. What did Miss Mu Mian say earlier? Attendant Lord! It’s rare that Ziwei Palace has an Attendant Lord now, quite remarkable. ”Cough, cough, nothing serious, just a cold-induced fever, some medicine should do the trick.”

The Physician prescribed medication.

Having his young apprentice fetch the medicine, then offering additional advice.

The person inside the curtain remained silent.

He Zhi responded respectfully.

”Thank you, Physician,” Mu Mian handed over a Silver Tael.

The Physician accepted courteously, ”No trouble, no trouble, it’s my duty, we’ll meet tomorrow for a follow-up.”

Mu Mian escorted the Physician out.

After some time Mu Mian returned, since Chuzheng hadn’t given any instructions, Mu Mian couldn’t make decisions on her own.

”Attendant Lord, please rest well...”

The person behind the curtain turned over, facing away from Mu Mian.

Mu Mian: ”...”

He Zhi escorted Mu Mian out, ”Miss Mu Mian, Attendant Lord just entered the palace and then fell ill, not intentionally, please don’t be upset.”

In the future, we’ll live here; it’s heard that this Ziwei Palace is managed by Miss Mu Mian, how could we not humble ourselves!

”The Attendant Lord is the master, taking care of him is my responsibility,” Mu Mian smiled, ”You can return first, let me know if there’s anything you need.”

”Ah.”

-

Mu Mian returned to Chuzheng’s chamber.

Chuzheng had changed into loose clothing and lay on a rocking chair.

Mu Mian watched her for a while, unable to hold back, ”Your Highness, won’t you go see this Attendant Lord?”

Isn’t Her Highness curious about the Attendant Lord sent by Her Majesty the Empress?

”Afraid of catching it,” Chuzheng didn’t even open her eyes, ”Not going.”

”...”

”Has the Physician come?”

”Yes, has come. Nothing serious, just caught a cold,” Mu Mian hesitated, snuck a peek, ”This Attendant Lord... seems to have quite a temper.”

A bit temperamental?

Chuzheng pondered for a moment, ”Go find out what background he has.”
