As Qi's mother spoke, she winked at Minister Qi, but the other party didn't even look at her.
Minister Qi is so preoccupied with his own future that he has no time for this useless account. Stop winking, it's throbbing.
[However, Minister Qi and his mother are really not from the same family. They are not from the same family. Just because of a fortune teller's words, she directly believed that her illegitimate son would pass the imperial examination when he grew up. 6.]
If you want to hear these nice words, you can come to me. I can talk you into bankruptcy.
emperor:"……"
【I forgot, I can’t speak yet.】
"Father," seeing that the emperor was determined to take Qi Xuan away, the fifth princess raised her hand and stroked her belly.
[No way, no way, are you going to say that you are pregnant? ]
[A bit smart but not too much, this pulse can tell whether it is true or false. ]
[Oh my god, Qi Xuan only touched you a few times, how did you get pregnant? Are you cheating on your husband like Aunt Lan? But your body has been ruined by Qi's mother, how could you possibly have a child?]
The Fifth Princess's hands froze, her mind in a mess and she couldn't think of a suitable excuse.
"Father, I am pregnant with your husband's child. You cannot let the child be fatherless."
[Oh my god, you actually said that. What do you want from a domestic violence man? Because he's unemployed and knows how to act cool, or because he wants you to help raise his children?]
[He's quite nice. He was worried about the pain you'd have to endure during childbirth, so he decided to give Aunt Lan's child to you to raise. What a considerate man!]
[Hehe, don't be silly, I just want to turn my illegitimate son into a legitimate one.]
The emperor was a little angry at first, but when Yu Yiluo expressed his true feelings, he just wanted to sigh that the Qi Mansion was really interesting, even more exciting than listening to storytelling.
"Minister Qi, go find a doctor."
Minister Qi, who had been daydreaming, came to his senses and quickly took orders to leave.
Soon, a doctor hurried over followed by Minister Qi.
After paying his respects to the emperor, the emperor glanced at the fifth princess and gave instructions to the doctor.
"Show the princess how she is."
Qi Xuan knelt with his head down, secretly cursing the Fifth Princess for being stupid. She found such an excuse that could be easily exposed. He really didn't know whether it was helping him or hurting him.
"Princess, please."
The fifth princess hesitated for a moment, then slowly pulled up her sleeves, revealing the red pinch marks on her slender wrists.
Eunuch Cao gasped in shock as he watched, wondering how much strength the prince consort had used to pinch the princess into this state.
The doctor was stunned for a moment, put a silk handkerchief on the fifth princess' wrist, and raised his hand to take her pulse.
Ever since the doctor showed up, Qi's mother's hands have been shaking with fear. In order to make the Fifth Princess treat Aunt Lan's child sincerely, she often sends her contraceptive soup in the name of tonic, but she doesn't know whether the doctor can diagnose the problem.
"Your Majesty, the Fifth Princess's health is ..." The doctor put away the handkerchief and hesitated to speak.
This made Qi's mother's heart rise to her throat.
"But it's okay."
With the emperor's permission, the doctor said truthfully, "The Fifth Princess has been using contraceptive soup for a long time, so she may not be able to get pregnant in the future."
The fifth princess widened her eyes in disbelief, "Are you telling the truth?"
She clearly only drank the tonic given by Qi's mother, who said it would help her get pregnant as soon as possible. Qi's mother also said that she had specially asked for it for her, so even if it tasted bad, she forced herself to drink it.
"Absolutely true."
The fifth princess stood up and took the medicine that was placed aside to the doctor. "Take a look, is this it?"
The doctor took it, smelled it, and nodded, "This is the contraceptive soup. Princess, please don't take it again."
"It's unfair. Maybe the servants replaced the medicine," Qi's mother said with fear, her face turning pale.
At this time, Aunt Lan walked in, followed by a man in a Taoist robe.
[Oh, this is the person who said that the Fifth Princess is good at defeating domestic violence men. Is Aunt Lan here to help?]
"Your Highness," Aunt Lan said, stepping forward respectfully. "I've come here today to expose everything the Qi family has done to the Fifth Princess."
Upon hearing this, Madam Qi and Qi Xuan looked at Aunt Lan at the same time.
"Lan'er, what nonsense are you talking about? We in the Qi Mansion treat you well."
Not only did he backstab someone, he also forced a couple to break up. He even has the nerve to claim he treated her well. He's just a bunch of idiots. What the hell is he thinking?
"Cousin, don't talk nonsense."
"Shut up," Eunuch Cao scolded the two of them. Did the emperor let you speak?
The two of them shut their mouths in disappointment.
"You speak." The emperor picked a chair and sat down. Minister Qi tactfully served him tea and stepped aside.
Aunt Lan glanced at Qi's mother, whose face looked as pale as death, and sneered.
"Not only did you act like a mother-in-law to the Fifth Princess, you also made her pay her respects to you every day. To suppress the princess, even though you knew I had someone I loved, you schemed to have Qi Xuan defile me and make me his concubine. Your goal was to annoy the Fifth Princess."
Madam Qi wanted to retort, but when she saw Eunuch Cao staring at her fiercely, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
"Oh, right," Aunt Lan pointed at the Taoist priest behind her. "In order to better persuade the princess to obey, Madam Qi specially found a Taoist priest and told him to say that Qi Xuan failed the exam because the princess was unlucky for him."
The fifth princess staggered, but fortunately there was a table next to her that prevented her from falling to the ground.
It turns out they are all scams, both the tonics and the fortune-telling.
Before, she always thought that there was something wrong with her body, which was why she had never been pregnant. Coupled with what the fortune teller said, she didn't think it was her fault at first.
But as time went by, Qi Xuan really didn't pass the exam, and he often said it was because of himself, so I thought so too.
Gradually, whenever I have free time, this matter will appear in my mind.
During that period, I couldn't sleep well and my hair fell out in clumps.
Coupled with all the care she received from Qi Xuan when she first married him, she felt nothing but self-blame.
When she first married Qi Xuan, Qi Xuan was not only a handsome man, but also treated her very well, taking care of her in every possible way, fearing that she would be wronged.
So now Qi Xuan has become like this and even beats her.
It's not that she didn't feel aggrieved, she just felt that it was because of her that he could never pass the imperial examinations and that he had no children that he became like this.
"Qi Xuan," the Fifth Princess closed her eyes and uttered a few words with difficulty, "Is what she said true?"
In fact, she already had the answer in her heart. When she heard the little princess's thoughts, she made excuses for him and even lied to her father for him, but now everything is a joke.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life," the Taoist priest knelt on the ground with a plop. "I didn't want to deceive the princess, but Madam Qi gave me too much. I thought it was just a matter of saying a few words."
If he had known that he was involved in such a deep-seated matter, he would never have been greedy for that little bit of money.
Now, I haven’t gotten the money, and I don’t know how the emperor will punish me.
[Don't mention it, this fake charlatan is actually quite honest. He's just like Minister Qi who was abused by Madam Qi.]
