Chapter 1243 - 962: Suisui’s Assertion, No One Can Overturn
Ji Youze didn’t even look up, just replied with a "Hmm".
General Liu’s lips twitched, and he was incredibly flustered at heart.
"I heard that she... she claims my wife, even with divine medicine... it wouldn’t help? She..."
General Liu’s throat was already somewhat parched.
"If she asserts it, it absolutely won’t change."
"Re... really?"
"Lord Liu, I suppose you don’t keep up with the affairs in the capital very often. My second brother is the Divine Physician. Suisui has inherited his true teachings. She can memorize all his medical books and every herbal illustration in the world.
Among them are many notes on difficult and complex illnesses. She has read them all and kept them in her mind. Making pills and medicine is no difficulty for her, so if she predicts something, no one can refute it!"
Almost instantly, General Liu’s shoulders started to shake.
Ji Youze doused the fire, poured out the medicinal soup, and carried it away.
General Liu sat there alone, silently in tears, thinking of many things. He and his wife were childhood sweethearts; you could say they grew up together. They fled from a famine at the age of seven and promised themselves to each other at twelve. His wife had suffered greatly for him, washing clothes in river water during winter, plowing fields and planting in spring, earning money for him to practice martial arts. She was eight months pregnant and still working in the fields.
When their child was born, his wife was still harvesting in the rice fields by moonlight, so they named the child Mi Sheng!
When Ji Youze carried the medicinal soup close to Princess Pearl’s room, there was finally a wailing "Wah!" cry from the courtyard!
Princess Pearl looked towards the door upon hearing it, where stood a tall, handsome young man, walking against the light. That face, though briefly seen yesterday, now upon meeting again gave her a feeling as if she were seeing someone from a previous life.
"Uncle! Who’s crying outside?"
Xiaosuisui listened to the crying outside and was about to go out to see what was happening.
Ji Youze grabbed her by her little collar and dragged her back, sighing, "Let him cry! Men don’t shed tears easily!"
This meant the man crying was in deep grief.
"Oh!" Xiaosuisui pouted, obediently sitting on a small embroidered stool, sighing.
"Why do people have to experience birth, aging, sickness, and death? It causes so much sadness!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Youze said, "All mortals in the world ultimately cannot escape death."
At this time, he handed the medicinal soup to Princess Pearl, "It’s been resting for a while before I brought it in, drink it!"
They seemed to be quite familiar, as if they knew each other well.
"Have we... have we met before?
Why do you feel so familiar to me, like I’ve known you for a long time!"
Ji Youze chuckled softly and said, "Probably in a past life!
I also feel you are familiar!"
On the usually expressionless face, there was naturally a hint of joy.
Xiaosuisui was stunned.
"Uncle, you smiled..."
The little girl widened her eyes, looking at Ji Youze, then at Princess Pearl.
"Boohoo... you’ve indeed found new love and forgotten your old love, uncle you don’t like me anymore, you like her, in the future, you’ll definitely not be good to me!"
The little girl started crying, her look was extremely aggrieved.
The usually expressionless face of Ji Youze suddenly darkened.
"Shut up! If you can’t use words properly, don’t use them at all. Can ’find new love, forget old love’ even be used like this?"
"Boohoo! Uncle, you yelled at me, uncle, you never yelled at me, boohoo! I will tell grandma to find you a wife who is fierce, mean, and ugly!"
Xiaosuisui was completely disheartened after being scolded by Ji Youze, confirming that Princess Pearl indeed stole all of her uncle’s love, even the uncle who never scolded her, scolded her now!
"Shut up, if you continue talking nonsense and crying nonstop, I will tell Princess Lianchun that your calligraphy is especially ugly, and from now on you’ll have to write five hundred characters instead of two hundred fifty!"
Xiaosuisui: "..." Instantly stopped crying, and because she stopped too quickly, she even hiccupped.
Princess Pearl was completely stunned.
Her eyes were wide open.
"This... resolved just like that?"
The Dongyue royal family doesn’t lack anything except children. Those children, from the families of princes and princesses, whenever there’s a party in the palace, just the royal children’s table can be filled with three big tables.
Those children are incredibly delicate, even the smallest thing can make them cry for ages, with family and maids trying to console them, and sometimes even her weak and kind-hearted mother would lower herself to console them, yet to no avail.
