Princess Rouwan had come up empty and could only return in defeat.
Back home, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Her already frail body gave way, and she fell ill.
Upon hearing the news, Princess Ningyang rushed to the Duke Zhen Country Mansion to visit her daughter. She also submitted a request to the palace, asking the Emperor to send an Imperial Physician to treat her.
The Emperor, of course, agreed.
An Imperial Physician soon arrived at the Duke Zhen Country Mansion.
But regardless of how vexed Princess Rouwan was, Li Ji and Hua Manman were both in high spirits.
Hua Manman leaned against the carriage window, poking her head out to gaze at the scene outside. The road was lined with shops and bustling with people coming and going. It was a prosperous sight.
The wound on her arm had already scabbed over. It didn't hurt much anymore, though it did get a little itchy from time to time.
