Chapter 348: A Royally Arranged Marriage (1)
It was rare for little Liu Huo to “make the first move”, which rather surprised Ji Fengyan. However, it was hard to rein in her good mood.
Even with a handsome face in front of her, she could not neglect various important matters. Ji Fengyan swiftly got up and ran off to discuss the opening of the pharmacy with Linghe and the others.
Ji Fengyan usually refined many elixirs, but even if Linghe and the others ate the elixirs like snacks, they could not keep up with the speed at which she refined them. Presently, Linghe and the others each had at least five bottles of elixirs and Ji Fengyan had another big batch of them in her Space Soul Jade.
The pharmacy that Ji Fengyan wanted to start differed from other pharmacies. They did not want cash, only gems and treasures. Those entering could use only treasures for elixirs; Not even large quantities of cash.
She provided the resources and the elixirs while Yichen ran the shop. Linghe had chosen a location and they were ready to operate.
When Ji Fengyan had finished handing over everything, she obediently hurried over to Liu Ruse’s residence to check on Liu Ruse’s recovery.
The Fourth Princess was also there. Although Qin Muyao’s face was utterly dark, the Fourth Princess lingered on, refusing to leave. Fortunately, Liu Ruse had spoken up or Qin Muyao would have thrown her out.
Ji Fengyan checked on Liu Ruse’s condition. Except for her lingering weakness, everything else was improving. The Fourth Princess sat by the side, holding her face in her hands, and watching with great interest. When Ji Fengyan had finished her examination, the Fourth Princess suddenly jumped down from her chair at the side and gestured at Ji Fengyan mysteriously.
“What is it?” Ji Fengyan smiled when she saw the Fourth Princess’s mysterious look.
The Fourth Princess pulled Ji Fengyan into a corner of the room and whispered, “Fengyan, are you at odds with my Royal Older Sister?”
Ji Fengyan was slightly taken aback.
The Royal Older Sister that the Fourth Princess was referring to had to be the Eldest Princess.
“Why do you ask?”
The Fourth Princess wet her lips uneasily and hesitated for a moment before saying carefully, “When I went home yesterday, I was intending to tell my Royal Father about Ruse regaining consciousness…”
Yesterday, the Fourth Princess had sought the Emperor, but unexpectedly, the Eldest Princess had also been present and she looked unhappy. She seemed to be discussing something with the Emperor, but the Fourth Princess had paid no attention at first. It was only when the Eldest Princess had mentioned Ji Fengyan’s name that the Fourth Princess had pricked up her ears.
“My Royal Older Sister is proud and aloof. I seldom interact with her, but… she seemed to be discussing your marriage with our Royal Father yesterday. I thought they didn’t look too happy, so…” The Fourth Princess chose her words carefully.
According to the rules, every terminator’s heir was engaged from a young age. This was so that when they became a terminator in the future, they could put aside all worldly affairs and concentrate their efforts on war.
When they returned from the training school, the terminators would immediately get married and enjoy a few months together before hurrying to the battlefield.
“My marriage?” Ji Fengyan raised her brows slightly. The Lei family had not made a false step after she had settled things with them. She had also completely suppressed the Ji family. Perhaps the Eldest Princess had realized the state of affairs and was now looking for some other way to make trouble for her.
The Fourth Princess nodded. “My Royal Older Sister said that you previously had a fiance, but there was some misunderstanding between the two of you and there was a falling out. I think she intends to ask my Royal Father to renew the marriage arrangement between you and your fiance…”
