After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband-Chapter 800 - 798 Terminal Illness

That day, Prince NanAn was severely beaten on the street by Chu Shun and the Heir of Marquis Beining.

His pains awakened him from his daze, and he no longer used alcohol to drown his sorrows.

These days, Prince NanAn has been training at Dongxiang Marquis Mansion.

If he had been more alert, he wouldn’t have been hit on the head by a maid, and he wouldn’t have been at a disadvantage when sparring with the Heir of Duke Chong.

He couldn’t save Nie Yao, and he put himself in danger, forcing Princess Shouning to take a blow for him, which cost a life.

He has been reflecting a lot lately.

He must make himself stronger to protect those he wants to protect.

Prince NanAn is training hard, but it’s tough on Chu Shun and the Heir of Marquis Beining too.

Because Prince NanAn not only trains himself but also drags the three of them along.

Not just them, but also Zhao Xu.

They spend half of the day on the training ground, and the amount of medicinal baths has also increased by half.

So here, Prince NanAn finishes training and is helped out of the training ground by a servant.

Marquis Dongxiang trains strictly but mandates that they must not train at the training ground for more than an hour and a half.

Training needs to be gradual; appropriate intensity can stimulate potential, but too much can damage the body and backfire.

Training emphasizes persistence, so the foundation laid is more solid.

Exhausted, Prince NanAn is almost carried back by a servant, his whole body aching.

Chu Shun and the Heir of Marquis Beining are slightly better, but not by much.

Ten servants carry five of them out of the training ground, which is indeed a frightening sight.

The servants from Prince NanAn Mansion look around one by one.

He really couldn’t understand how the spoiled Prince from childhood could endure the punches from Dongxiang Marquis Mansion; getting beaten like this and still not wanting to return to Prince NanAn Mansion. No wonder the Prince and Princess Consort mention him with discontent.

The servant approached and said, "Commandery Prince, the Princess Consort asks you to return to the mansion."

Prince NanAn glanced at the servant, "Is there something wrong at the mansion?"

The servant wanted to hit him too.

Can’t he hope for some good news from the mansion?

If something had happened, would he be reporting it so lazily?

"Nothing happened at the mansion. It’s... the Heir’s wife is moving back to Yinzhou tomorrow. The Princess Consort asks you to come back to see her off out of the city," the servant said.

If it weren’t for the Heir of Duke Chong stirring up trouble, Nie Yao would already be the Heir’s wife at Prince NanAn Mansion.

Although the marriage hasn’t been formalized, everyone at the Prince Mansion knows Nie Yao is Prince NanAn’s person.

Calling her Miss Nie felt impersonal, so they simply addressed her as the Heir’s wife.

Prince NanAn didn’t oppose this title.

He just felt a bit stifled deep down.

Prince NanAn didn’t speak, and the Heir of Marquis Beining looked at him and said, "Marquis Yangnan is still in the Capital; why is she moving back to Yinzhou?"

Prince NanAn gave the Heir of Marquis Beining a look.

Ask him; whom should he ask?

Although Prince NanAn feared nothing, since the Lantern Festival, he indeed dared not see Nie Yao much.

After things went wrong, he became even more afraid.

Prince NanAn remained silent.

Zhao Xu remembered what happened on the street yesterday and said to Prince NanAn, "Yesterday I saw Miss Nie dressed as a maid, coming out of a pharmacy with a maid, looking unwell, somewhat absent-minded. If I hadn’t reacted in time, I would’ve almost bumped into her."

She was with a maid and almost got hit by a horse.

The master was absent-minded, and the maid followed suit.

This definitely indicated a problem.

When he returned to Dongxiang Marquis Mansion yesterday, Zhao Xu intended to tell Prince NanAn.

But since Nie Yao was dressed as a maid, it was clear she didn’t want others to know.

Out of respect for Nie Yao, Zhao Xu didn’t tell Prince NanAn.

Now that Nie Yao was eager to move back to Yinzhou, and yesterday she came out of a pharmacy, it made one suspect if she was ill.

Not only Zhao Xu, but even the Heir of Marquis Beining and others also had this suspicion.

If she’s not sick, why the urgency to return to Yinzhou?

Prince NanAn was anxious to find Nie Yao, but having just finished training, he was too weak to move.

The servant wouldn’t let go, and he simply couldn’t leave.

Chu Shun stopped him and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Prince NanAn looked at him and said, "Should I not be worried?"

"If she’s ill and didn’t call a doctor to the mansion but snuck out to see one, she must be seriously ill!"

Absent-minded to the point of almost being hit by a carriage, Prince NanAn dared not imagine what terminal illness she might have.

None of them, including Chu Shun, responded.

Marquis Yangnan only had Nie Yao as a granddaughter.

Marquis Yangnan loved her deeply, and Nie Yao was very filial, never doing anything to worry Marquis Yangnan.

She must have feared that bringing a doctor into the mansion would alarm Marquis Yangnan and cause him to worry, which is why she snuck out disguised as a maid to seek a doctor.

She was in a hurry to return to Yinzhou probably for the same reason, fearing that her illness would worry the Old Marquis if discovered, hence the desire to leave.

But the doctors in Yinzhou might not be as skilled as those in the Capital, let alone the Imperial Physicians, and there’s also Su Jin.

In terms of medical skill, who can surpass the Princess Consort Zhenbei?

"Do you want to ask the Imperial Physician to treat her?" The Heir of Marquis Beining asked Prince NanAn.

This question.

Indeed stumped Prince NanAn.

If he really did that, Nie Yao would only be more displeased with him.

However, this problem isn’t unsolvable.

Just seek treatment from Su Jin.

She is the Princess Consort Zhenbei, the Emperor’s daughter, Princess Jin Ning. No one would first think of her medical skills when thinking of Su Jin.

Then—

A new problem arose.

"Should I ask my sister-in-law to go to Nanyang Marquis Mansion, or should I have Yaoyao meet with my sister-in-law?" Prince NanAn asked.

"...."

Chu Shun and the rest looked at each other.

This was a difficult matter.

Previously, she was just the Princess Consort Zhenbei, now she holds a more prestigious title —

Princess Jin Ning.

If she went to Nanyang Marquis Mansion, it would be a significant event, possibly alerting the Emperor.

Having her go to Nanyang Marquis Mansion to treat Miss Nie would be beneath her dignity.

But having Nie Yao seek out Su Jin...

Prince NanAn was maintaining his propriety, wanting to keep his distance for Nie Yao’s sake to avoid displeasing the Empress.

Moreover, Nie Yao might be unwell, so having a sick person go out is inappropriate, and she might not even want to go.

While soaking in a bath, they discussed.

Finally—

The Eldest Young Madam of Duke Dingguo Mansion visited Su Jin.

Su Jin was quite bored and hurriedly sent a maid to welcome her when she heard she was coming.

When Zhou Jingyi reached Agarwood Pavilion, Su Jin went to the gate to greet her.

Zhou Jingyi saluted Su Jin.

Su Jin helped her up and said, "No need to be so formal with me."

Zhou Jingyi smiled at her.

Su Jin curious, asked, "It’s rare for you to come to me; what brings you here today?"

Zhou Jingyi and Su Jin walked into Agarwood Pavilion as she said, "It’s my husband and the Heir of Marquis Jingguo who pushed me to come to you."

She was telling the truth, yet Su Jin was even more puzzled.

Zhou Jingyi sighed softly and told Su Jin about Nie Yao wanting to leave the Capital and return to Yinzhou, and her secretly visiting a pharmacy for treatment.

"Prince NanAn even inquired at the pharmacy, but the doctor sees too many patients daily to remember what illness Yaoyao has," Zhou Jingyi said.

"Prince NanAn is worried and hopes you can take a look to set his mind at ease."

Su Jin said, "For such a small matter, he just needed to tell me directly, didn’t he?"

"I thought so too, but now you’ve been made a princess, your status isn’t what it used to be," Zhou Jingyi said.

"Especially since the Emperor dotes on you and has frequently scolded Prince Zhenbei’s Heir, which has intimidated them, hence they sent me." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

The Emperor certainly wouldn’t scold her.

Xingxing felt the Heir of Marquis Jingguo and his ilk were too naive.

They thought that by indirectly troubling her lady, they could avoid the Emperor’s scolding?

When her lady made mistakes, it was always her husband who got scolded.

They would definitely be treated the same.
