No pop-up ads, so refreshing! Thanks for your support! Sounds good to me ^_^... Chapter 86

  Nan Chengyao had just left when Shu Ying carefully walked in with a bowl of medicine: "Miss, this is the fetal calming medicine brewed according to Mr. Chun's prescription, hurry up and drink it while it's hot."

  She helped me sit up, I took the medicine from her hand and drank it slowly, when I handed the bowl back to her, I looked up and found that she was standing beside me with tears in her eyes.

  "Miss, it's all because of my carelessness. You haven't had your period and your appetite hasn't been good either. I thought it was just like before, that you were heartbroken again because of the Third Prince, so I only focused on having you drink tonics to nourish your blood and energy. I didn't think about this aspect at all, which is why you suffered so much. If it had gone on any longer..."

  I shook my head, one hand reached out to hold hers, the other lightly covered my belly, and smiled wistfully: "How can I blame you, it was my own negligence, but from now on, we won't make such mistakes again, will we?"

  She nodded vigorously, I comfortingly squeezed her hand and then let go: "Is Mr. Chun still in the mansion?"

  "He helped the young lady with her pulse and injection to stabilize the child, then the third prince had him wait in the front hall, fearing any unexpected situation, a Miss Sang also accompanied him, so Shu Ying went to invite him over to help the young lady again."

  She said as she backed out, my hands gently supported my still flat belly, and I closed my eyes.

  My child is already over a month old.

  He quietly calculated the time and should have arrived by my side on his way back from Mobei to Beijing.

  At that time, they fell deeply in love at first sight, and their feelings gradually deepened.

  Who would have thought that in just a short month's time, so many things happened.

  Recognized, disillusioned bit by bit.

  Persistence becomes ridiculous over time.

  I no longer want to pursue what is right or wrong, nor do I have the energy to investigate the twists and turns of the situation. These things are no longer important to me.

  Suddenly remembered that day in the Zi Jin Palace, Huan'er's faint smile and words.

  She said, second sister, have a child as soon as possible. When you feel that nothing is meaningful, at least there is him, who completely belongs to you.

  Gently stroking her lower abdomen, she actually couldn't feel anything, but somehow her heart had inexplicably calmed down, becoming so soft.

  My child is so well-behaved, he forgives my negligence and is willing to stay by my side.

  So I will never let anyone have any chance to hurt him in the slightest, absolutely not!

  Shu Ying didn't wait for a moment, and with Chun Yu's intention, she entered the room. She first walked around the screen and picked up the veil on the bedside to put it on me, then helped me tidy up my clothes, before inviting Chun Yu's intention behind the screen to come in.

  "Fortunately, you've managed to pull through this time. However, your pulse is weak and floating, the fetus's position is unstable, and with your originally frail body, if there's another mishap, I'm afraid even a god can't save you - not only will the child be lost, but you'll also be in danger."

  I thanked him softly and paused for a moment, looking into his eyes and asking quietly: "Mr. Chun had helped me take my pulse before, why didn't you tell me then?"

  He simply waved his hand: "At that time, I just touched the 'painting eyebrows like frost' mark in your body. Who else would care about your pulse? Not to mention that I really didn't notice it, even if I did, I wouldn't necessarily say it out loud. The third prince didn't tell me to look at this - besides, who can't get pregnant? 'Painting eyebrows like frost' is something everyone has a chance to encounter?"

  "You..." Yu's anger was extreme, but since it was after all Cheng Yu who had saved him, he suppressed his temper and didn't erupt.

  I lowered my eyelashes and thought for a moment.

  Junyi is also a clever person. Seeing me choose the sample, he directly opened his mouth and asked: "How, is the princess suspecting me or suspecting you?"

  I shook my head: "It's that fragrance, isn't it?"

  After a moment of stunned silence, he nodded and said: "Yes, the fragrance is indeed good. It's made from over a dozen precious spices, which masked the musk scent inside. If you didn't like fragrances, I wouldn't have noticed it after spending half a year researching them quietly. This musk is actually rare and precious, but it can cause ordinary women to be infertile, and pregnant women who smell it will have a miscarriage."

  "Does Your Highness know?" I asked quietly.

  Jun Yu nodded: "I know, and your maid also told me the whole story about this. At that time, his face was gloomy and frightening, I thought he would never forgive Miss Du, but who knew it was just a false alarm, and he rushed over in a hurry. Third Princess Wang, what is it about this kind of man that you and your daughter see in him?"

  I didn't respond to his words, but instead turned to Huayi who was also serving in the house and said: "You immediately take people to Shu Shao Yi Guan, bring me Du Ruhuang's usual 'Comfortable Rest Fragrance', if she doesn't want to give it, then search for it by force."

  It was probably seeing the calm determination on my face that Painter didn't dare ask more questions and left with a response.

  Chun Yu's eyes carried a hint of teasing as he looked at me: "How about it, you still haven't given up?"

  I shook my head: "No, I believe Du Ruyin is using this 'Shu He An Xi Xiang' as she said, and the fragrance she uses smells the same as what was sent to me, but lacks a hint of musk. What I want to do now is to ask Mr. Chun to identify it, so that we can properly eliminate this hidden danger."

  Even if I believe that Miss Du doesn't have such a big nerve and isn't so stupid, especially in today's world where the foundation is still shallow.

  This time's affair, if it was really someone with ulterior motives, she had only become a knife borrowed from others.

  It's better for her to stay by my side for a day, but it will eventually become a hidden danger. I don't want my child to live in constant danger again.

  Harming the three princesses' unborn babies, just this one point, even if Nan Chengyao protected her, her life would be safe, but from then on, she would never dare to step into the Three Kings' Mansion again.

  Jun Yi didn't say a word, but instead stared at me deeply. I ignored him and let Shu Ying invite him outside the screen, while I lay on the bed with my eyes closed to rest.

  "The queen, Miss Du said that this time's 'Comfort and Rest Fragrance' was in short supply, and it has all been given to the queen. If the queen likes it, she can have someone send more from Hengshan in a few days."

  She looked at me and paused for a moment, then continued in a somewhat hesitant tone: "Because the Third Prince ordered that no one was allowed to disturb Miss Du's rest, so we servants didn't dare to search the Shao Yi Pavilion. It wasn't until Miss Du instructed someone to let us pass that I could enter and see her."

  I took a deep breath in Shenzhen and understood this fragrance, even if there was still some left, I'm afraid it's been ruined.

  "Is Your Highness still in Shaoyi Hall?" I asked.

  Hua Yidao said: "The slave just went there, Miss Du had just woken up, and the Third Prince was not in Shao Yi Guan either. I heard that it seems like the Emperor's body is unwell, and all princes have been summoned to the palace!"

  I smiled wryly, as if all things had converged at this moment.

  Then he said to Chun Yu outside the screen: "Mr. Chun, I've kept you waiting for so long, I won't delay your time any further, I'll have my maid escort you out; today's kindness, Murong Qing will always remember in her heart."

  Chun Yu Yi stood up, about to leave, but stopped in her tracks and said from behind the screen: "If the princess really wants this child, I'd like to advise you one thing, no matter what you do, don't get overly emotional."

  I nodded in gratitude, waiting for the little maid to send him away, before slowly turning to Shu Ying and calmly saying: "Shu Ying, go to Shaoyi Pavilion immediately and ask Du Ruyin to come see me. Tell her it's what I said, not a moment can be delayed!"

  Judging from her appearance as a weak person in front of others, with this sentence, she must come.

  As expected, Du Ruyin arrived in no time, still respectfully saluting me with a bow and a curtsy. This time, however, I didn't tell her to get up.

  "Do you know why I summoned you today?"

  Perhaps it was my deliberately dignified demeanor that made her pause, and then she replied even more warmly: "I don't know, Your Highness, please enlighten me."

  I smiled faintly: "Miss Du doesn't know that the 'Comfortable Rest Fragrance' you sent almost caused me to have a miscarriage, do you?"

  Her whole body shook violently, and she stared at my abdomen with an almost unbelievable expression. Shock, disappointment, fear, and resentment were all mixed together on her face, a complex and genuine look that made me realize my guess was not wrong.

  Before I could say anything, Du Ruyin had quickly regained her composure and knelt down in front of me, sobbing: "Your Highness, please be aware that even if I had a hundred times the courage, I would never dare to do something so disobedient! The incense is indeed what I've been using since I was young, but recently I haven't gotten much, and I gave it all to you, which is why I didn't have any proof of my innocence. I had no idea that Your Highness was pregnant, and even if I did, I would only be careful to serve and pray for blessings, never daring to commit such a heinous crime - harming the imperial heir, which is punishable by death! With my family's humble status, it's possible that we could be executed to the ninth degree of kinship. How could I dare do such a thing? Please, Your Highness, be aware..."

  "That's enough, Miss Du. I don't want to waste any more time." I coldly interrupted her tearful voice: "I believe you didn't know that I'm pregnant, and I also believe that at this moment, you still don't have the guts to harm the child of the imperial palace. However, if you say you didn't know there's musk in the incense, then that's just ridiculous. I guess you either listened to someone's instigation or had this plan yourself, wanting to make me infertile with the musk, but you didn't think that I'm already pregnant."

  "Your Highness..."

  She was about to say something else, but I interrupted her with a wave of my hand: "You can save your clever words and charming expressions, I don't want to hear them. I called you here just to make one thing clear, you'd better remember it well, and you can also tell the person who's been manipulating you."

  She didn't say anything, just stared at me.

  And I, standing upright and looking down at her on the ground, opened my mouth and said: "From now on, whoever dares to harm my child in any way, I will retaliate tenfold. As for you, Miss Du, you'd better pray every day that the child in my womb is safe and sound, because from today on, if I have even a slight discomfort, regardless of whether it's related to you or not, I won't let you off easily! And if anything happens to my child, it won't just be you, but your entire Du family will follow you to the grave! I've always been one to keep my word!"

  "How dare you!" She stared at me in shock and amazement, forgetting all her pretenses.

  I smiled slightly, still looking down at her: "The father of the palace is the current prime minister, all the brothers of the palace are in important positions in the court, the sister of the palace is the current crown prince's wife, and even I myself, because of my merit in curing the emperor's headache, have a strong imperial favor. You tell me, what can't I do, and what can't I achieve?"

  Her pale face, a picture of resentment, stared at me with extreme bitterness, yet she couldn't utter a single word. After a long while, she finally gritted her teeth and spoke: "The three ships will absolutely not let Ye Yin drift aimlessly."

  I continued to smile, my hand gently stroking my belly as I spoke in an increasingly soft tone: "You must also be aware of what kind of person the Third Prince is. He would never let personal feelings get in the way of his duty. Do you think he would offend the entire Murong family for a mere inner court attendant like you?"

  Still remember the shocking swan's reflection (harem)
