Poisonous Pet World: The War King's Heart-stealing Medical Concubine

After leaving the palace, Chu Zixi's steps unconsciously became lighter. She took a deep breath, as if she wanted to let go of the depression and restraint within the palace walls, leaving only a heart full of freedom and happiness.

Yu San, who was standing by, lowered her head at the moment, with a complicated look in her eyes. She said softly, "Princess, you, you are so domineering!"

Chu Zixi glanced at her calmly after hearing this, and a barely perceptible sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. "I never want to go to this Cining Palace again. Otherwise, I really can't help it and blow up the Cining Palace again."

Yu San shuddered when she heard this. She looked up at Chu Zixi and said, "Princess, the Queen Mother is the prince's biological mother after all..."

Chu Zixi shook her head gently, her eyes deep and complicated. "I know," she said lightly, "otherwise, she would have been poisoned to death long ago."

This sentence was said lightly, but it was like a thunderclap that exploded in Yu San's heart.

She choked suddenly and couldn't speak for a long time. She just stared at Chu Zixi in a daze, as if she was truly meeting this princess for the first time.

After a long while, Yu San managed to find his voice again. "Princess, are we going to the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion now?"

Chu Zixi nodded and said "Yeah." Then she took Jun Bai's hand and turned to walk towards the carriage that had been waiting on the side.

After sitting down, Yu San drove the carriage and started running.

As the carriage continued to move forward, the gate of the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion gradually came into view.

It was a magnificent mansion with a huge plaque hanging on the lintel, on which were written four large characters "Huguogong Mansion" in gold, highlighting the dignity and extraordinary nature of this mansion.

An exquisitely decorated carriage slowly stopped in front of the gate of a magnificent mansion, and the sound of the wheels rolling gradually disappeared into the quiet air.

Chu Zixi took Jun Bai's chubby little hand and got off the carriage, and the two of them slowly walked into the mansion together.

They walked along the bluestone path, through the flower-filled garden, and finally came to the quiet and quaint courtyard where the old lady lived. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled shadows, adding a sense of tranquility and peace to the entire courtyard.

The moment they stepped into the courtyard, a maid with sharp eyes and ears immediately noticed their arrival.

The maidservant flashed and ran into the house like an arrow, shouting as she ran: "Madam, the cousin and the young master are here!"

After hearing the announcement, Chu Zixi smiled slightly, stretched out her hand to gently adjust her clothes, and walked in. Her beautiful eyes flashed with a gentle light like water. She nodded slightly and whispered softly: "Grandma, I'm here to see you."

Before she finished speaking, the old lady's familiar voice, which was slightly reproachful but mostly doting, could be heard from inside the room: "Hmph, you little girl, you finally remembered to come and see an old woman like me!"

However, in the blink of an eye, the old lady's voice was full of joy again, warming people's hearts like a spring breeze, "Oh! My baby Xiaobai is here too, come and sit with your great-grandmother."

When Jun Bai heard this, he took a step forward with his still shaky legs and staggered towards the old lady.

When he finally ran to the old lady, he raised his innocent, pink and cute little face and shouted happily in a voice so sweet that it seemed to melt people's hearts: "Hello, great-grandmother!"

The old lady laughed so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits and her mouth opened so wide that it seemed as if an egg could fit in it. She kept muttering, "Good, good, good, my dear grandson! He's so cute."

She couldn't help but stretch out her wrinkled but still warm hands, gently placed them on Jun Bai's furry little head, and slowly stroked it, as if she was stroking a rare treasure, her eyes filled with endless loving kindness.

At this moment, Qin, Ruan and Yun Yubing, upon learning that Chu Zixi had arrived at the old lady's place, hurried over.

Qin had a smile on her face and said enthusiastically, "Xier is here."

Upon seeing this, Chu Zixi hurriedly bowed slightly, "Hello, auntie, hello, second auntie."

The old lady had a kind face and greeted everyone warmly, "Come on, come on, sit down! Don't stand anymore."

As soon as the words fell, people in the room found a place to sit down.

The well-trained maids quickly and methodically brought out steaming tea and plates of exquisite snacks, then quietly left the room like a breeze without making any sound.

Ruan's gaze always stayed on Chu Zixi, looking her up and down, as if she wanted to see through her.

The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, outlining an elusive smile. That smile seemed to hide a hint of teasing, and even a hint of ill intention that was difficult to detect.

Chu Zixi felt very uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but called out softly and coquettishly: "Second Aunt~"

Ruan Shi didn't seem to notice the subtle discomfort on Chu Zixi's face. Instead, she covered her mouth with her hands and laughed. Her words were even more teasing and teasing: "Oh my, it's really unexpected that our Xier actually has such a special hobby! But if you hadn't married into Prince Zhan's mansion, it wouldn't be a big deal even if you recruited a few more handsome boys to serve our Xier!"

At this time, Chu Zixi had just picked up the exquisite teacup on the table and was about to take a sip of the fragrant tea in the cup to calm her somewhat chaotic mood. However, after hearing Ruan's unscrupulous words, she couldn't help but tremble all over, and the tea in her mouth instantly lost control and choked violently into her throat, causing a series of violent coughs.

Chu Zixi's cheeks quickly flushed with a faint blush, as beautiful as peach blossoms in spring. In her beautiful eyes, a trace of embarrassment and embarrassment flashed quickly.

The old lady sitting next to her frowned when she saw this. She glared at Ruan and scolded her, "Ruan, Ruan, look at you. You are already so old, but why are you still so outspoken and ignorant of the seriousness of your words?"

After that, the old lady stretched out a wrinkled but still gentle hand, gently stroked Jun Bai's round little head, and then said to the little guy in a gentle voice: "My dear child, how about Madam Qi take you out to play? How about our Xiaobai go out with Madam to play for a while?"
