I had to persuade Prince Yue for a long time before he finally agreed to go with me to the Tsukasawa Dō. Since I couldn't figure out what Consort Xian was up to, I could only call Prince Yue along to see what she was up to.
/p
The man probably didn't have a good impression of this kind of woman who always wanted to put a green hat on his head. He wanted to be a shopkeeper and go back to take a nap. I pitifully rubbed my mouth for a long time, and after a lot of persuasion, I finally made him move his head.
/p
My mouth was dry and I almost knelt down: "Prince Yue, just treat it as watching a play. You can just sit on the side with a cup of tea."
/p
Yue Wangye really did take my words to heart. He ordered a servant girl to brew a pot of hot tea. Holding it in his hands, he leisurely walked with me into the Moon Lake Hall that was completely under martial law. Xiao Yu's face revealed a fierce expression as she stared at every movement in this courtyard. Seeing that I had brought the Wangye through the main door, her round eyes finally relaxed a bit.
/p
I asked her: "How is Consort Xian?"
/p
Xiao Yu replied: "Replying to Wangfei, Consort Xian is resting peacefully on the bed. Other than her abdominal pain, everything else is fine."
/p
I continued to ask her: "Did anyone come to visit Consort Xian?"
/p
This time, it was Prince Yue who acted as if it had nothing to do with him who replied: "I just asked the guards on duty in this courtyard. No one came today."
/p
I let out a sigh of relief and said: "Then I'm relieved. Prince Yue, please."
/p
Prince Yue looked at me. That look was like a needle or a knife that directly stabbed into my heart. This man's eyes always had a penetrating power. It was as if he could see through everything in advance. My heart thumped when I saw that look. I didn't even have the slightest doubt that Prince Yue had completely understood my guess.
/p
Consort Xian was lying on her bed. Her face and lips were pale. She held a cup of hot tea in her hand. Her eyes were even more dazed than the smoke on the tea. Prince Yue and I had caused quite a commotion when we came in, but she acted as if she didn't see or hear us. She didn't pay any attention to us.
/p
I coughed softly and deliberately raised my voice. "Consort Xian, His Highness has come to see you."
/p
Consort Xian seemed to wake up from a dream. The corners of her mouth curved, and her eyes were calm. A mocking smile appeared on her face as she saluted Prince Yue and I. "Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness. This concubine is inconvenienced, so I implore Your Highness to dispense with this salute."
/p
Prince Yue went straight to a chair and sat down. He picked up the small teapot that he had brewed in his courtyard and slowly turned it in his hand. He didn't care about what was happening in the room. Since he didn't care, I could only let him be. I couldn't ignore him, so I could only brace myself and continue to talk to Consort Xian. "It's my duty, it's my duty. You can just lie down."
/p
Consort Xian said, "This concubine doesn't know how Your Highness reported to Your Highness."
/p
Prince Yue asked her, "What did she report to Your Highness?"
/p
Consort Xian stared blankly for a moment before continuing. "It was about this concubine's body and the abortion medicine."
/p
Prince Yue looked at me and lied. "When I came back, Your Highness only knelt in front of me and took off her hairpin to ask for forgiveness. She didn't want to talk about the details and dragged me to Tsukasawa Dō to listen to you. I came here personally as per Wangfei's orders. I want to hear from you personally what exactly happened. "
/p
Consort Xian stretched her neck and blew on the tea. The smoke from the teacup dissipated. "If Your Highness didn't ask, Your Highness wouldn't have bothered to step into my courtyard."
/p
Prince Yue took a sip from the teacup and bluntly replied, "Yes, I didn't want to."
/p
The atmosphere was a bit awkward. The strange thing was that this awkwardness was played out by both Consort Xian and Prince Yue, but the pitiful victim was me. With no other choice, I hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "Your Highness is busy with official matters. Family matters are trivial matters between women. There's no need to trouble Your Highness. But today's matter is related to the Imperial Family's heirs and our chastity. The two of us were personally betrothed to each other by the Emperor. Our statuses are listed in the Imperial Ancestral Hall. One is the Imperial Consort and the other is the Imperial Consort. The only one who can be convicted is Prince Yue. "
/p
Consort Xian narrowed her eyes. Her curved eyelashes cast a warm silhouette on her face. She unhurriedly spoke in a very soft voice. "Your Highness is jealous. Before she fully investigated the matter, she took advantage of the chaos and forced me to give her an abortion medicine. She wanted to murder a concubine and endanger the Imperial Family's heirs. Everything is clear. For Your Highness to treat such a poisonous woman as a treasure and treat her like a treasure, it really makes me blush with shame."
/p
The words that came out of her mouth were not pleasant to hear.
/p
I forced a smile. "Consort Xian has finished speaking. Will Your Highness allow this concubine to speak?"
/p
Prince Yue didn't give me a chance. He waved his hand and said to me: "You don't need to speak."
/p
Consort Xian and I were startled at the same time.
/p
Yue Wang continued: "Concubine Xian, I know that you have hatred and resentment in your heart, but it's a pity that you're blaming the wrong person and hating the wrong person. I was the one who asked Wang Fei to give you the abortion medicine."
/p
I didn't react for a moment. "Ah?"
/p
"Ah what?" Prince Yue's eyes turned murderous. "I've never rested in Tsukasawa Dō and I've never touched Consort Xian's body. Now that she suddenly announced to the public that she was pregnant, as the Mistress of the Household, shouldn't the Su Zhengfu force a bowl of abortion medicine down her throat? Could it be that Consort Xian thinks that our household is so magnanimous that we would treat other people's children equally and take them into our household? " His voice became colder and gloomier as he spoke. "Consort Xian is from the Tang household. You're so daring and have no regard for morality. I'm afraid you've gotten used to being daring like your good father and have long forgotten that the surname of our household is Yang!"
/p
Yang is the surname of the Imperial Family. Scheming against the Imperial Family, it looks like you don't want your life anymore.
/p
Consort Xian's face became a little flustered. "Your Highness, please understand. This concubine doesn't have the guts to secretly …" She bit her lips for a long time but couldn't say the word 'secretly'. "This concubine is only angry that the Imperial Consort wronged this concubine before investigating the truth. Now, this concubine's body has been completely damaged by the abortion medicine that came out of nowhere. This concubine's heart aches as if it were being twisted."
/p
Prince Yue opened his mouth. Trembling with fear, I thought he was going to bluntly say, "I didn't want you to give me an heir in the first place." That kind of ruthless and direct words, I hurriedly apologized before he did. "This concubine was listening to nonsense and wrongly accused Consort Xian. Your Highness, please punish me."
/p
The Prince asked me: "What nonsense?"
/p
This time, he finally asked the question. I sighed and replied: "Today, Consort Xian and I went to the Imperial Uncle's residence to watch a play. During that time, the Imperial Uncle's physician was not feeling well. The Imperial Uncle's physician took a look and discovered that it was a pregnancy pulse. I was scared to death and hurriedly took the Imperial Consort back to the residence. The residence's physician Li also said that it was a pregnancy pulse. This concubine thought that the two physicians were both virtuous and respected elders of the medical family. If the two of them came to the same conclusion, it shouldn't be wrong. In addition, the Prince didn't get angry at the Imperial Consort and thought that it was someone else's vile spawn and had the Imperial Consort drink the abortion medicine. "
/p
The Prince said: "Misdiagnosis?"
/p
I softly said: "The abortion medicine didn't produce anything. It really was a misdiagnosis."
/p
The Prince asked again: "When the physicians examined the patient, did Consort Xian know the result of the examination?"
/p
I nodded and said: "When the two physicians examined the patient, Consort Xian and I were both present. She definitely knew."
/p
"Since that's the case, Consort Xian, you clearly know that I didn't touch your body and that we didn't have a real relationship as husband and wife. When you heard the news of the pregnancy pulse, you didn't refute it?"
/p
I thought about what she would refute. She couldn't wait to push the boat along with the current! However, Prince Yue's question really hit the nail on the head. When a virgin girl saw the pregnancy pulse, it was already very good that she didn't shout that a quack doctor had ruined her reputation.
/p
Consort Xian said: "This concubine was scared silly at the time. The Princess is also impatient. When she heard the news, the abortion medicine had already been prepared for me."
/p
The Prince sneered: "From the time the Imperial Uncle came to our house from the Province Yan, there was such a long time and you didn't have time to react?"
/p
Consort Xian clenched her teeth and refused to budge: "Yes, this concubine is only a weak woman. How could this kind of thing happen?"
/p
The Prince didn't continue on this topic and said to me: "The residence's Physician Li is a competent and competent doctor. Since he also said that it was a pregnancy pulse, there's nothing you can do if you believe him. However, after taking a bowl of abortion medicine, how is Consort Xian's body? "
/p
I shook my head and said: "The foundation is damaged. It will be difficult for her to give birth again."
/p
The Prince said: "That's not what I'm asking." He really didn't seem to care.
/p
I paused and thought carefully. Then I opened my mouth and said: "The pregnancy pulse is still there. Physician Li said that after practicing medicine for dozens of years, he still couldn't see what was in Consort Xian's stomach."
/p
Prince Yue said: "Physician Li couldn't see it, so he called the imperial physicians on duty to come over and check Consort Xian's pulse one by one. I'm very curious. For several physicians to be unable to see the pregnancy pulse, what is in your stomach?"
/p
Consort Xian suddenly smiled and said: "If the Prince wants to call the people from the palace, I'm afraid they won't be able to take it off."
/p
"How can I not take it off?"
/p
Consort Xian slowly stroked her flat stomach and said with a smile: "The imperial physicians in the palace have sharp eyes. They only know how this concubine's body looks like as soon as they check my pulse. The people in the residence are easy to deal with. After all, they are family members and know what can and cannot be said. However, the people in the palace are different. There are many people in the palace and there are many mouths. There is no guarantee that they will leak something. "
/p
Gritting my teeth, I forced a smile onto my face. "You're saying that the imperial physicians will discover that you're unable to conceive? Once this news spreads, I'll be known as a jealous person, won't I?"
/p
"The Princess is intelligent and astute."
/p
"The Concubine is thoughtful."
/p
The two of us flattered each other hypocritically, but most of our hearts were filled with hatred.
/p
Beside me, the Prince couldn't sit still in his chair. He stood up and slowly walked towards Consort Xian's bed. The Prince loved to wear black and his body was tall and strong. As he slowly walked over, his shadow on the Consort Xian's bed grew bigger and bigger. I saw with my own eyes that Consort Xian's soft body trembled. The deliberate worry between her eyebrows turned into fear.
/p
The Prince said: "Since you are wholeheartedly thinking of the Princess, then I don't need to stubbornly bring the imperial physicians from the palace. It just so happens that this Prince has a troubled life. When I was young, I was constantly taking medicine. It can be said that I have become a doctor after a long illness. Since the Princess and the Concubine said that the physicians outside are all quacks, then this Prince will take a look at the Concubine's pulse. "
/p
I felt a bit strange: "Where did you learn medicine?"
/p
The Prince said: "The Southwest. It can be considered a side branch of the medical family."
/p
I doubtfully asked: "Isn't the Southwest a place where inhuman secret techniques are rampant?"
/p
The Prince of Yue seemed to be waiting for me to say this. I followed his satisfied gaze and saw that Ce Fei Xian's eyes were slightly widened. Her snow-white lips were the color of ripe grapes. She had the inauspicious aura of someone who was about to die.
/p
Consort Xian tactfully refused: "How could I trouble the Prince."
/p
Prince Yue wasn't like me. He didn't need to be overcautious, tactful, and polite. Although he didn't like Consort Xian and hadn't touched her before, according to her status, she could be considered a woman who had been officially married into the Prince's household. Prince Yue coldly snorted. He took a large stride and blocked the front of the bed. He reached out and grabbed Consort Xian's wrist. He pressed two fingers on her pulse and carefully checked her pulse.
/p
I originally thought that he was just bluffing, but it seemed that he really had some skill. I looked at the thick leather gloves on his hands and couldn't help but feel a bit surprised. I asked: "Do you need a pulse pillow? Are the gloves in the way? Do you want to take them off? "
/p
The expression in Prince Yue's eyes suddenly changed. Ignoring my nagging, he directly flung Suli's hand away from Concubine Xian.
/p
Consort Xian's face immediately became dejected. I didn't dare to say anything and could only carefully connect the dots. I glanced at her lower abdomen and wondered if it was the effect of the secret technique.
/p
Prince Yue said: "Good, good, good. There's something good in your stomach!"
/p
I was startled. What is it?
/p
Prince Yue continued: "Who gave it to you?"
/p
I asked: "What is it?"
/p
Prince Yue said: "Rehmannia Glutinosa. Rehmannia Glutinosa is in her stomach."
/p
I felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck my head. My eyes couldn't help but sweep over Consort Xian's extremely slender waist. Women can be really ruthless sometimes. She actually dared to swallow something that I don't know how to use. Isn't she afraid of losing her life?
/p
Consort Xian struggled weakly: "Your Highness, what do you mean?"
/p
Prince Yue coldly said: "This Prince has stayed in the Northwest for many years. How dare you disgrace me with your secret technique? You might not know, but I know very well that the secret techniques that Guan Zhongsheng Village is so proud of are all passed down from the Northwest. "
/p
Consort Xian let out a short and sharp cry from her throat.
/p
Prince Yue continued: "Rehmannia Glutinosa hides your life. If you swallow the yellow pearl, the pulse of the pregnancy pulse can also fool the doctors who don't know about the matter. I just don't know who would be so heartless as to use your life to make me unhappy. "
/p
I shook my head and said: "Who else could it be? It's none other than the cleavage-filled heroine, Mrs. Zou of Tang."
/p
Thanks to Prince Yue, I was finally able to clear up this strange situation. Last night, after Mrs. Zou of Tang snatched the Rehmannia Glutinosa from the Seventh Prince, Yang Yuanlang, she followed us back to the Tang Residence. However, His Highness and I returned to our main courtyard, Fu Fu Courtyard, to rest. Mrs. Zou of Tang quietly came to Tsukasawa Dō to see her nominal daughter. Then, under the pretext of watching a play at the Imperial Uncle's residence the next day, she set up this trap.
/p
This trap was full of twists and turns. Either I would be labeled as a jealous person, or I would be accused of murdering an imperial heir. Though I cherish my feathers, neither crime is sufficient to put me to death. Why is it so?
/p
I was thinking hard here, but Consort Xian laughed miserably: "You found out, you found out."
/p
I stopped thinking first, and poured cold water on Consort Xian: "If you don't want people to know, don't do it in the first place. I already said, if you know your place, I will guarantee you a safe and worry-free life for the rest of your life. "
/p
"A safe and worry-free life for the rest of my life?" Consort Xian's face suddenly became ferocious, and she waved her hands and feet, directly smashing the teacup in her hand: "You want me to die! You want me to die! You want me to die! "
/p
The hot tea splashed half over the satin of my shoe, and scalded my instep with a searing pain.
/p
Consort Xian pointed at me, and fiercely scolded: "It's you, you're the one who poisoned my daily food, you're the one who wants to kill me! Originally, I didn't want to fight anymore, and I can't fight anymore. My family is in decline, and I just want to live in a corner, but you still won't let me go! I just feel that my body is getting worse and worse. If mother didn't visit me at night, if mother didn't tell me the truth, I'm afraid I'll die in your hands without knowing why. Even if I go to hell, I won't be able to seek redress. "
/p
My face was also a little pale. I hadn't poisoned her personally, but this sin should be put on my account.
/p
Prince Yue coldly snorted, and put his arm around my shoulders, firmly supporting me from behind. I heard Prince Yue say: "I poisoned you, what does it have to do with the princess? She took pity on you, and in the end stopped the medicine. If I knew you would plot to end up like this, I would have stabbed you in the throat and ended everything. "
/p
Consort Xian weakly laughed: "Your Highness, don't pretend to be a good person, neither of you are good people."
/p
Prince Yue said: "Are you saying that the princess and I are a couple? Thank you very much. "
/p
I looked up at him from the corner of my eyes. I felt that although Prince Yue looked gentle and refined, sometimes he had a poisonous tongue.
/p
Consort Xian said: "You don't treat me as a person, but I want to live! I know, I know that I'm just a chess piece in the eyes of the First Madam. She gave me this bead and told me to swallow it and pretend to be pregnant, forcing Tang Chuizhu to do something immoral. In fact, I'm just a chess piece, but I want to live, I want to live! "
/p
She cried until her voice was hoarse, but she continued: "This bead is a disaster, but it can heal my body and help me expel the poison from my body. That's how I can live! I just want to live! "
/p
Her cries of 'live' were quite pitiful. I couldn't bear to see her cry, so I turned my face away. Prince Yue, on the other hand, did not feel the slightest bit of pity. He directly hit the nail on the head and said, "If you really want to live, you should stay away from the Tang Residence, stay away from the Tang Family, and live a stable life. Don't think too much about it."
