Qin Mu looked at the expressions of the two people and knew that there would be no problem with tonight's meal, so he started eating with peace of mind.

After eating until he was about 70% full, Qin Mu put down his chopsticks and took the tea brought by the palace servant to rinse his mouth.

The Queen Mother looked at him with a smile and said, "Emperor, you are already twenty-six years old this year. When will you be able to have a child?"

"When your father was your age, your sixth brother could already speak."

"You are the emperor, you cannot be childless." The Queen Mother said earnestly, "No matter how flawed Yinyin may be in other aspects, she is in excellent health."

"It would be nice to let her give birth to a son or daughter for you," said the Queen Mother.

Qin Mu: “…”

"...It has been four years since Concubine Shu entered the palace. If she could have children, she would have done so long ago." Qin Mu said lightly.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Zhao Yin quickly lowered her head. She didn't dare let the emperor and the empress dowager see the expression on her face.

She thought angrily, is it because she doesn't want to have a baby? It's because the emperor didn't touch her.

If the emperor touched her, wouldn't she still be able to give birth?

However, what comforted Concubine Shu was that she did not give birth to a child, and neither did anyone else in the harem, which really made her happy.

The Empress Dowager frowned and said, "Emperor, you only allow Concubine Shu to sleep with you two days a month. That's too little."

"If you go to her Changle Palace often, she will probably get pregnant soon," said the Queen Mother.

Qin Mu: "...I understand."

The empress dowager tried her best to get the emperor talking, but as they talked, the emperor felt his whole body getting hot.

He felt a surge of heat rushing to his lower abdomen, but because he couldn't have sex, he didn't react at all.

Qin Mu's expression was a little bad.

There was no problem with the meals, but he didn't expect that the Queen Mother and Concubine Shu had other tricks up their sleeves.

"Mother, I still have some things to deal with, so I'll go back first." Qin Mu suddenly stood up and said to her.

"Emperor?" The Queen Mother knew from his expression that the drug must have taken effect, but he could actually endure it and wanted to leave directly.

Of course, the Queen Mother did not force him to stay, but instead ordered, "Shufei, go and see the Emperor off."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu quickly stood up and said, "Yes."

"Your Majesty, let me take you back?" Concubine Shu said to Qin Mu with a burning gaze.

Qin Mu: “…”

"No, I'm busy back at the Qinzheng Palace."

"Your Majesty - Your Majesty -"

Seeing Qin Mu walk away without looking back, Concubine Shu was completely stunned.

Why?

His Majesty clearly already felt it, and the effect of the medicine had clearly already taken effect, but he could still endure it?

How could he leave such a beautiful woman like her alone to sleep and go back to Qinzheng Palace?

…

Qin Mu left the Cining Palace in a hurry. When Concubine Shu chased him out, she didn't see his carriage and felt very unwilling.

Qin Mu didn't care about so much. He didn't even call the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital over. Instead, he directly called out the person with superb medical skills among the secret guards.

"Your Majesty, this is Thousand Day Drunk," the secret guard said after taking Qin Mu's pulse. "It's an aphrodisiac."

Thousand Day Drunk, although the name contains "Thousand Days", it is actually just an aphrodisiac that sounds nice.

This medicine can be placed in incense and combined with tea when burning incense to arouse emotions.

Of course, the tea is not just simple tea. It also contains another kind of medicine that can induce a thousand-day drunkenness in order to be effective.

Qin Mu couldn't help laughing after hearing what the secret guard said.

"My mother is truly generous...or rather, the Zhao family is truly generous."

This Thousand Day Drunk is not an ordinary aphrodisiac. It can arouse passion without harming the body. It is not a dangerous drug. It can be seen that its manufacturing process and raw materials are not simple.

Therefore, the drug "Thousand Day Drunk" is very rare.

"We can't just let this matter go like this." Qin Mu said calmly.

He couldn't touch his mother, the Empress Dowager, but he could touch the Concubine Shu.

However, he was not so angry about this matter that he would not directly deprive Shufei of her title and demote her to the second-rank concubine or the third-rank concubine.

The main reason was that Qin Mu knew that if he couldn't touch the Queen Mother, he couldn't touch Concubine Shu's position as a concubine.

He blocked Concubine Shu's position as a concubine and prevented her from having the chance to get involved in the position of empress. The empress dowager would not allow him to touch Concubine Shu's position as a concubine, so Qin Mu could only punish her in other ways.

"Issue the decree that Concubine Shu be confined to her residence for six months for misbehaving in the presence of the Emperor, with her salary deducted for six months, and punished by copying the 'Rules for Women' and the 'Precepts for Women' one hundred times."

"Warn Concubine Shu that it is best for her to copy the book a hundred times by herself. If she lets someone else do it for her, even if the Empress Dowager protects her, she will never be able to leave Changle Palace in her lifetime." Qin Mu said indifferently.

"Yes, I obey your order." The eunuch Su Bai, the chief steward of the imperial court, responded and made the trip in person.

After all, Concubine Shu had the support of the Empress Dowager and was still a concubine. As the chief steward of the imperial court, he was giving her enough face by going to convey the imperial edict.

Fengxiang Palace.

"Hahahaha..." Concubine Li laughed happily after getting the news. Her laugh was not appropriate at all, but extremely wild.

"Hahahaha... Zhao Yin is just a fool!" Concubine Li cursed while laughing.

She always thought that Concubine Shu was stupid, but she didn't expect that even the Empress Dowager had helped her to this extent, Concubine Shu was still so bad.

"Tsk, being an opponent to Zhao Yin really tarnishes my ability." Concubine Li said with disgust.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty punished Concubine Shu in this way as soon as he came out of the Cining Palace today... then?" The trusted palace maid was hesitant to speak. It was obvious that she felt that the Empress Dowager and Concubine Shu would definitely not let go of this opportunity.
