‘If there’s someone in the house interested in medicine, they’d likely entrust the hospital work to that person, right?’
People who had been thinking of resigning slowly began to consider transferring. If Lexion established a hospital, it would change the narrative.
“It’s fortunate that being a maid doesn’t seem to bother you.”
Yesterday, Duke Lexion, who had visited the royal palace to discuss political matters, had conveniently avoided visiting the clinic, citing a headache.
‘Franz Lexion, the duke, wouldn’t have come just to get medicine for a mere headache.’
‘He must have come to check on his daughter-in-law.’
As Edit’s thoughts reached that point, the attitudes of the courtiers towards her noticeably softened.
Thanks to them, she could feign interest in the imperial history and learn many things.
“Oh, right. You asked me last time. You were curious about who gave the sword to Lexion.”
Sion was so often involved in the emperor’s consultations that he had a close relationship with the emperor’s secretary. His information was reliable.
“Oh, yes. My husband wanted to express his gratitude.”
“The secretary gave the sword under the emperor’s orders. He even wrote all the enclosed letters himself.”
“Under the emperor’s orders… I see. Thank you.”
After hearing the news that Lexion’s son, Lea’s child, had appeared, the emperor sent the sword.
‘It would be good to have a chance to hear directly why the emperor sent the sword. If it was just following the emperor’s orders, the probability of the secretary being Walter’s father is low.’
In that case, the key was understanding the emperor’s intention in sending the sword to Lexion. Was it a request from the deceased Crown Prince or other princes through a will, or was it purely the emperor’s intention?
Edit moved her hands while continually contemplating reasonable suspicions. Regardless, she had to prepare the tea Patricia had arranged for today.
“My head is pounding because of those ridiculous fake news articles, so I’ll ask for a headache-relieving tea. It would be even better if it prevents articles from coming out.”
“A headache-relieving tea, you say? Understood.”
“…….”
“Why are you like this, Lady Patricia?”
Pretending to be innocent and scratching her insides… Honestly, it felt like a small but satisfying revenge. She had suffered quite a bit from Grotuk.
‘But since Walter said he would reveal something important today, I should gradually prepare myself.’
As she had acquired more information through the clinic than she thought, Edit considered taking a few days off, using health as an excuse.
The battles between Crown Prince and princes over Lea. As a result, there was a significant rift between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince.
Although she couldn’t accurately discern what she saw, one thing was certain.
‘Lady Lea must have known well about the succession struggles within the imperial family. She had the ability to understand the whole by looking at a part.’
The most reliable way to find out how she, Lady Lea, was connected to the imperial bloodlines was to have a face-to-face meeting with the emperor.
Meanwhile, Patricia was exploding in anger as she received the report from Count Grotuk.
“Count, what is this nonsense? As a member of the royal family, am I being sued?”
“Well……”
Count Grotuk, with a trembling voice full of anger, laid out the documents he had brought on the table.
“It seems that before Viscount Humphrey was dragged to the monastery, he exchanged several letters with Queen Dowager and handed them over to the temple.”
Just by reading a bit of the problematic letters, it was evident that Patricia was aware of the existence of the royal seal.
The fact that Patricia knew about it was what irked those troublesome nobles.
“Viscount Humphrey’s royal seal, found on the land granted by the Empress Dowager a long time ago, requires reporting to the state. However, Patricia, the Queen Dowager, concealed the existence of the royal seal. This goes against the interests of the entire royal family.”
Yes, up to this point, it was fine.
However, as Patricia read the next passage, her face twisted in displeasure.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
