Little Lord

Wilder stayed in the fertile province for a few days, but the knights still hadn't woken up. He had other things to do and couldn't stay any longer, so he returned to the imperial capital with a bunch of investment contracts.

The very next day after Wilder returned, people came from the Imperial Capital, a total of five people, all of whom were master-level doctors certified by the Imperial Capital Medical Association.

The Heitlinger family obviously values ​​this genius who is highly regarded by the family, and will never give up easily unless they have no other choice.

Maine received these doctors personally.

The other party did not take this young man, who had just started out, seriously at all. His attitude was very arrogant and he said directly that he wanted to see Horveller Heitlinger's condition as soon as possible.

Maine was used to this kind of attitude, which was why she didn't like the Imperial City. Even if she tried her best to get in front of these people, they still felt that lowly civilians were not worthy of talking to them.

Some people pretend better and at least hide their arrogance; but some people don't even bother to hide it, and the word "contempt" is clearly written on their faces.

Maine took the man to see the injured without any concern.

However, after a few people went in to visit the injured, Jiang Zhuozhuo fell on Maine's shoulder and said indignantly: "I don't like them!"

This is why Maine did not allow Jiang Zhuozhuo to come out to receive these doctors.

Firstly, Jiang Zhuozhuo is the ninth emperor's daughter after all, so there is no need for her to meet everyone; secondly, Jiang Zhuozhuo is still a little round bird that can't keep secrets, and if she gets angry, she might fly her wing in the other person's face.

That's not necessary.

"They will leave soon." Maine smiled and comforted, "You don't have to be angry with them. They are unimportant people anyway."

Jiang Zhuozhuo saw that Maine's tone did not show any reluctance, and felt that these guys from the imperial capital were going too far.

What does it mean when a person is used to being treated with contempt by others? It means that she has often encountered such things before.

Jiang Zhuozhuo said: "We won't give them any delicious food! We'll just cook them barley!"

It is impossible for people who have not tasted wheat rice without peeling to know how bad it tastes.

It is said that there was a stingy guy who made his apprentices eat wheat rice for several years. Later, one of the apprentices finally rose up in resistance and "killed his master". This shows how powerful it is!
Maine: .

Maine said: "There's no need to be so obvious. Just let Helana and the others provide them with meals as they did before."

Jiang Zhuozhuo thought about the food quality when he first arrived...

That's all they deserve!
The angry little round bird did what it said and flew to Helana like a cannonball to tell her about the arrangement.

Helena:?

I've never heard of such an outrageous request.

She almost forgot how bad of a cooking novice she used to be!
In the past, she only knew to follow the words of her teachers and never thought that various ingredients could present such rich flavors after being cooked in different ways.

Especially the interaction between the ingredients was so wonderful that she couldn't believe it.

If she were asked to make the same food as before, she would feel like she was defiling their kitchen!
They can't go back!

Helana looked embarrassed: "I need to think about it carefully."

Jiang Zhuozhuo said seriously: "When we entertain guests, we can't just consider whether we like the food or not, we have to consider the guests' eating habits. So we roast a piece of bloody meat for them and make a bowl of mushy soup. People in the imperial capital like to eat this way, right!"

Helana:.

Stop talking, stop talking, I’m thinking about my past “masterpieces” again.

"I'll try my best."

That was all Helana could do.

After getting Helana's assurance, Jiang Zhuozhuo flew back contentedly to see the diagnosis results of the doctors.

She didn't find Maine in the old place, but she found old Ward.

The old knight's face is full of vicissitudes, and he is obviously a man with a lot of stories.

Jiang Zhuozhuo flew in front of the other party and hovered, asking about the injuries of the knights.

Old Ward glanced at the still-closed infirmary door not far away, shook his head and said, "I guess there's nothing they can do. The best they can do is to help them wake up."

If they really wanted to solve the "blue fog", those arrogant doctors from the imperial capital would have gone out to purchase medicinal materials long ago instead of discussing it behind closed doors for so long.

The Heitlinger family invested so many resources in that genius and spent a lot of money to promote him early on. If they really saw no hope, they probably wouldn't give up on him.

Sending five highly skilled doctors to rush over day and night at once shows that they still have hope for Hoville. If even these five doctors are helpless, they will really not give Hoville any more resources.

Although this approach is a bit cruel, even if the family is still willing to give him more resources, will other people who are looking forward to receiving support from the family be convinced?

Old Ward himself was once such a "family outcast", otherwise he would not have been able to become an honorary knight in such a remote province only by relying on his rich experience.

"If those doctors can't come up with a treatment plan, Horville will probably be completely abandoned."

Old Ward sighed.

Jiang Zhuozhuo has heard this answer several times during this period.

She was not born into a large family, but as long as she was not an only child, ordinary families also had the problem of resource imbalance.

Children who are more favored by their parents - or who perform better (have higher returns) - often get the best of everything, even if the so-called "best" is just a larger piece of apple.

It is normal for a family like this, which has huge interests involved, to fight over something.

Recovering the tilted resources in a timely manner may be a form of protection for those who can no longer hold on to them.

However, these knights must have been injured during their missions, and I don’t know if they can get subsidies from the empire. If they have no future, they still need some living security!

Jiang Zhuozhuo discussed this issue with Old Ward.

"There is certainly compensation for that," said Ward Sr.

But why would a former genius like him care about such a small subsidy?
Jiang Zhuozhuo heard the regret in Old Ward's tone and expressed his opinion seriously: "It's better than nothing."

I remember when she was a child, she was fostered in the countryside. Her grandmother would call her parents every month to ask for money. Even though it was only a little and they were reluctant to give it, her grandmother still insisted on calling. She touched her head and said, "It's better than nothing."

Old Ward said: "That's right, we still have to live." Even if we lose everything we are proud of, life still has to go on, right?

The day after the doctors provided treatment, the strongest one, Howeller, regained consciousness. This shows that they do have some reason to be proud of themselves.

When Howell learned that he was poisoned by the "blue mist", he did not ask the doctors to conceal the truth for him, but instead begged them to stay for a few more days to help stabilize the conditions of his subordinates.

The leading doctor shook his head and said, "We have to go back and report as soon as possible. We have already given them all the necessary medicine. Whether they can wake up depends on their own will."

There was nothing in this shabby place and the food was terrible. They didn't want to stay there any longer than a day.

Howell knew what choice the family would make, so after hearing what they said, he did not try to persuade him to stay.

After learning from Old Ward that he was saved by the Ninth Princess, Horville was silent for a moment before saying, "I would like to thank His Majesty the Ninth Prince in person. Do you think it would be too abrupt?"

Receiving favors from others but not repaying them is against the beliefs that Huo Weiler has always upheld. However, in his current situation, it is probably difficult for him to repay the Ninth Princess's kindness.

Even if he wanted to express his gratitude to the other party in person, he was not sure whether the other party was willing to see him.

Seeing that Howell was not too depressed because he was about to lose everything, Old Ward admired the young man even more.

In the past, he was addicted to alcohol and was drunk all day long. He only repented after losing the most important person in his life.

Unfortunately it's too late.

If Howiler could have such a character, perhaps he would not be discouraged even if he could no longer resort to violence.

Old Ward said: "Her Royal Highness comes every day to ask about your situation. If she knew you woke up, she would definitely be happy to see you."

After he finished speaking, he called a knight to go and inform Jiang Zhuozhuo.

Although he asked someone to ask Jiang Zhuozhuo whether he wanted to meet Huo Weiler, he actually felt that Jiang Zhuozhuo would definitely fly over directly after getting the news.

Their little lord is not only kind-hearted, but also... loves to join in the fun.

I heard that every time a ship docked, she would fly over to visit the Sailors' Market, and she almost never missed a single one!
Jiang Zhuozhuo was bored and flipping through the popular magazine in the imperial capital that Wilde left for her. When she heard someone come to report that the knight from the Heitlinger family had woken up, she suddenly felt that the gossip magazine in front of her was not interesting anymore.

She flew directly over to visit the injured.

Howell was already able to transform into a human form, but his human form was also covered in scars and looked even more miserable than any of the portraits drawn in the Sun Weekly from any angle.

But he still kept his back straight and was listening to what old Ward was telling him.

Jiang Zhuozhuo couldn't help but take a few more glances at Huo Weiler. Even though he was seriously injured, it did not detract from his handsome face and tall stature.

No wonder Wilder, a playboy, feels so upset about this.

Some people are enough to attract everyone's attention just by standing there.

Jiang Zhuozhuo couldn't help but admire it a few more times.

Howell keenly noticed the gaze falling on him from outside the window and turned to look over.

He saw a small round furry bird standing on the windowsill, looking at him curiously.

Really small, and really round.

He saw two knights standing not far away guarding the little round bird, and knew that this must be the Ninth Princess whom he wanted to thank in person.

Howell stood up and walked towards the little round bird.

The little round bird opened its eyes wide (although bird eyes are naturally round), and continued to appreciate the perfect human structure in front of it with the instinct of an artist.

Good, good, if she had a mannequin like this, she could paint all day long!

I wonder if Horveler would be willing to be her model in the future?

She had no other intentions, she just simply appreciated all the beautiful things in the world!

However, no matter how much Jiang Zhuozhuo loves to play tricks, he knows that making such a request at this critical juncture is taking advantage of someone's misfortune.

We still have to get along with each other first and wait until both sides are familiar with each other.

Since we are acquaintances, it’s not too much to joke around. Even if they disagree, just laugh it off.

Jiang Zhuozhuo was frantically thinking about a long-term plan called "How to convince this person to be a nude model for me" in his mind when he realized that Howler was not far from him.

She raised her bird head and looked at the other person, asking in a chirping voice what Howiler wanted to see her about.

Horville gave her a standard knight's salute, gave his name, and promised solemnly: "If Your Highness hadn't saved us this time, we might have lost our lives. If Your Highness needs me in the future, just let me know."

This is his sincere guarantee.

If they ever have a future together, he will definitely repay Jiang Zhuozhuo.

But now he could only hope that the "blue mist" poison would not corrode their bodies too quickly.

Thinking of this, Howell asked Old Ward for paper and pen and wrote an address of the imperial capital for Jiang Zhuozhuo.

"This is the house I bought with my knight's salary. It is not a gift from my family. If I unfortunately cannot survive the poison attack, Your Highness, please accept this house. This may be the only reward I can give you."

Jiang Zhuozhuo didn't expect Huo Weiler to be such an honest person. Even in this state, he was still prepared to use his only property to repay her for "saving her life."

"You don't have to be like this." Jiang Zhuozhuo didn't take the address he handed over. "I didn't do anything. I just asked someone to carry you back. It was Old Ward and his men who saved you. You should thank them if you want to."

She just spotted them while taking a walk, so why would she need him to give her a house in the imperial capital as a reward?
Seeing that Huo Weiler was a little at a loss after hearing her rejection, Jiang Zhuozhuo roughly understood this man's character.

Obviously, he is the type of person who is very reluctant to owe others anything.

Jiang Zhuozhuo said, "When you get better, I might be able to use you. You should just focus on recovering first." She turned to ask Old Ward, "Does he have any dietary restrictions? Can he eat normally?"

Old Ward thought about the "blue mist" poison that all doctors were helpless against, and couldn't help but sigh. He said in a heavy tone: "Just eat it as you should."

After all, I don’t know how many meals I can still eat.
