Chapter 209: Allies (I)

Although the prince was a player and his reputation of violence and enjoying ladies well engraved, he treated his wife respectfully. Her position in the household had never been in danger through all these years. Besides, she was one of his. Anyone who dared bully her meant they were looking down on him as well!

And today, the empress had dared dose the princess consort with something? This reached the absolute limits of the prince’s explosive temper. To add insult to injury, the physicians he wanted to call upon had all been summoned to the Caos!

The princess consort made two more trips to the washroom while he berated the doctor. She too was at the end of her tether. The Prince of Ning knew that the situation couldn’t continue like this. “Come, prepare the carriage!”

“Understood!” The servants didn’t venture a peep before running off to prepare transportation.

Only his heir dared offer a question. “Where are you going, Your Highness?”

He was the heir to the Prince of Ning’s position and had once been part of the emperor’s household. Thus, he could only refer to his birth father as Your Highness.

“To the Qins,” the Prince of Ning answered solemnly.

This surprised his firstborn. “Your Highness, you…”

The prince took a look at his wife. Her pale face was tinged with an unhealthy green; she looked like she would stop breathing any second. “Take care of your mother. I’ll come back with a doctor.” With that, he sped out of the manor, whipping his horse for greater speed.

Qin Yining was cuddling Riceball as she read on a reclining seat. The fuzzy Riceball hopped around on the girl’s stomach with its little paws, tickling her despite its lack of weight. The fourth miss split her attentions between reading and caressing Riceball’s round body.

Bingtang, Songlan, Jiyun, and Qiulu were sitting around the octagonal table, working on embroidery and chatting. All was peaceful and amiable inside.
