Chapter 85 I gave him the chance to leave offspring, it was his luck
"What time is it now?" Bai Ziyu glanced at the crescent moon in the sky, then his gaze fell back on Liu Mingyue, whose breathing was a little hurried. "You've been sweating from running so hard, did you run into a ghost in the middle of the night?"
It was getting late, and Bai Ziyu's words were full of resentment for Liu Mingyue bothering him so late, but he had a smile on his face.
"Do you still have the medicine you gave Tan Zhuoyan before?" Liu Mingyue paused for a while, and spoke only after her breathing calmed down.
Bai Ziyu held his chin with one hand and smiled mischievously: "Why are you asking this? You want to use it too? On whom?"
"How about using it on you?" Liu Mingyue rolled her eyes at Bai Ziyu, then she became serious when she thought of the business. "Stop teasing me. I noticed that Tan Zhuoyan and Zhou Baihe had sex problems after marriage. It must be because the prince is not good at that. That's why I came to ask you for medicine."
After saying this, Liu Mingyue felt that she was worrying too much, and curled her lips: "Even if I use it on you, it's not as incredible as this."
As the principal wife, her husband took a concubine less than half a year after their marriage, and she still worried about their bedroom affairs, which was really outrageous.
"Puff." Bai Ziyu chuckled. He was born handsome and his smile was like a spring breeze. The man in white sat under the lattice window. The moonlight was coated with a layer of silver. He tilted his head and said, "Try it?"
Liu Mingyue's pupils shrank slightly, thinking that the place of fireworks really can change people's minds. Even Bai Ziyu, a gentleman, has learned to tease people. Liu Mingyue frowned and said, "Don't joke. I want Zhou Baili to get pregnant as soon as possible so that I can get out of the Marquis' Mansion."
She spoke seriously, and Bai Ziyu stopped joking and explained to Liu Mingyue in a serious tone: "The medicine was used up last time, but I can make new ones for you. You must know that the medicine is effective and will not leave any traces in tea or food, but..."
Bai Ziyu coughed lightly with a slightly embarrassed look on his face, "This is a drug that can harm both the tiger and the wolf. For a man like the prince who already has a weak body, it will do a hundred harms but only one benefit. Using it too much will damage the body."
"Will he die?" Liu Mingyue raised her eyebrows slightly. Tan Zhuoyan just had a bad leg, it was impossible for her to die suddenly for no reason. If she died, things would become troublesome. The court would send people to conduct a thorough investigation into the life and death of the prince, and that would not be acceptable.
Knowing what the other party was worried about, Bai Ziyu shook his head and denied her guess: "No, it's just that the original prince's inhumanity could still be cured, but once this medicine is used for a long time, it will become completely incurable in the future."
"I thought someone would die, but that's all." Liu Mingyue sneered and waved her hands. "I gave him the opportunity to leave offspring, which is already his luck. If it weren't for leaving the Marquis' Mansion earlier, he would have never been able to do anything in his life. Offspring? Ridiculous!"
When Liu Mingyue mentioned Tan Zhuoyan, her face turned cold. After she finished speaking, she realized that her tone was too sharp. Liu Mingyue's expression froze: "I'm sorry, I was a little angry and lost my composure. Anyway, I'll ask you to help me with this matter again."
"Oh, help, I will naturally help you." Bai Ziyu sighed and promised to give her the medicine in a day.
The next day, after getting the medicine from Bai Ziyu, Liu Mingyue added the medicine given by Bai Ziyu to the medicine for Qin Zhuoyan's leg.
Qin Zhuoyan's legs are not good for walking and she needs year-round maintenance and medicine every day, which gives Liu Mingyue an opportunity to take action.
Liu Mingyue tried her best to walk around in her own courtyard and not go anywhere else. As for getting information, she learned it from her spies. The Marquis' Mansion was paying attention to whether Tan Zhuoyan and the new concubine were in love, and many times it saved Liu Mingyue the effort of making special inquiries.
Just as she was out buying some dried meat, Guihua heard about the latest situation in Zhou Baili's courtyard: "Madam, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been staying in Aunt Zhou's room for the past month. I think you will get what you want soon."
Unlike Guihua's optimism, Liu Mingyue could not feel at ease until the dust settled. She could only say, "I hope so."
Liu Mingyue acted too hastily, but relying on the fact that Bai Ziyu's medicine could not be found, she just used it on Tan Zhuoyan.
At first, Qin Zhuoyan was happy that he could finally regain his vigor, but he just suspected that Zhou Baili had drugged him.
The secret meeting in the restaurant's side room was just an accident between the two of them. Zhou Baili didn't know that he was impotent before that, so she didn't use it on him on the wedding night. Two days later, she found out that he was impotent, so she started to use medicine secretly.
"Are you sure that the meals and snacks that this prince eats every day are all right?" Qin Zhuoyan looked at the guard with a gloomy look.
"Your Highness, it is absolutely true. I have been watching the food from the time it was prepared in the kitchen to the time it was served to you, and then to the time you ate it. There is indeed nothing unusual. Before you eat, I have also checked what you are going to eat."
The guard was also in a dilemma. His master had been suspicious lately and had repeatedly asked him to check if there was anything wrong with the food.
There might be some restless thoughts in the West Courtyard, so the guards investigated carefully, but found nothing wrong.
"Strange..." Qin Zhuoyan looked away. Since there was no problem with the diet, then what was the problem?
No matter how hard Qin Zhuoyan tried, he would never have guessed that the problem was with the medicine he had to take every day.
Zhou Baili, who was completely unaware of everything, was very proud of the fact that Tan Zhuoyan had been staying in her room for a whole month.
Because she was favored, the servants in the mansion treated her very differently, which greatly satisfied Zhou Baili's vanity. Plus, she was a concubine with a low status, but wasn't Liu Mingyue, the Crown Prince's wife, not even as good as her?
On the first and fifteenth day of every month, Zhou Baili, as a concubine, had to pay her respects to the wife. Zhou Baili was happy to do so. If she didn't go to see Liu Mingyue, how could she show off in front of her?
"My concubine greets the Madam." Zhou Baili bowed to Liu Mingyue with her chin raised, looking very proud.
Peanut and Osmanthus couldn't stand her behavior. They stood beside their master and rolled their eyes at her in secret.
Liu Mingyue had seen more powerful tricks like this in her previous life, so she didn't care and said, "Get up and sit down."
"Madam is, after all, the Crown Prince's consort. Why is the decoration in your room so simple? There is not even a decent decoration. If you were to meet guests, wouldn't you lose face in front of outsiders?" Zhou Baili deliberately emphasized the word "face".
Zhou Baili's implication was very clear. As the principal wife, Liu Mingyue was ugly, so how could she have any dignity?
"I like simplicity. This clean and spacious house is exactly what I want. Besides, as the mistress, I can't offer any help to the Marquis' Mansion, but at least I can't add any burden to it." Liu Mingyue said tactfully that the Marquis' Mansion was in financial difficulties without changing her expression.
Zhou Baili loved to save face, so she frowned when she heard that. She had been too proud recently and had forgotten about this matter.
