Qi Yuning frowned, "My new sister-in-law? How could she use a sterilizing drug?"
King Jin said, "Whether they used the infertility drug or not, you can find out by checking. This drug was originally a secret prescription of the mistresses of those thousand-year-old aristocratic families. When the aristocratic families were marrying each other, the mistresses were afraid that having too many children would ruin the marriage, so after giving birth to two sons, they used this drug to avoid having children. Naturally, it would not do much harm to the body."
Qi Yuning said, "I only know that medicine is three-quarters poison. If you don't want to cherish Shuangjiang, I can take Shuangjiang back to the Qi family now. Shuangjiang is still young, you can't let her have no children of her own in this life. Princess Rong is your daughter, you feel sorry for her, but have you ever thought that Shuangjiang also has a father and a mother, and her mother will also feel sorry for Shuangjiang?"
King Jin said, "What qualifications does Shuangjiang have to compare with Rong'er?"
Qi Yuning looked at the King of Jin and said, "You should also know that the late emperor almost handed over the country to the Qin family because of opium. Until now, he still allowed you to bring opium into Shengjing, but it was only for Shuangjiang's sake. You bully my Shuangjiang, so don't blame me for banning opium from entering the capital."
King Jin glared at Qi Yuning, but Qi Yuning was not afraid at all.
"Prince Jin, you are my elder after all, and I respect you, but I have told you from the beginning that Shuangjiang is not an ordinary maid. She is the daughter of my wet nurse and the person I have regarded as a sister since childhood. In my heart, she is much more precious than Princess Rong!"
"If Shuangjiang is bullied by you again, don't blame me for banning opium."
After Qi Yuning finished speaking, she walked out of the door. Unexpectedly, she saw the seven-year-old Princess Rong sitting in a wheelchair at the door. Although she was seven years old, she looked even younger than when she was six years old two years ago.
Princess Rong's whole body still exuded the stench of rotten flesh. After taking opium for many years, her skin was bound to ulcerate in the end.
"Cousin."
Qi Yuning looked at Zhao Rong's eyes, lowered his head and looked at Zhao Rong, without paying much attention, and left.
Zhao Rong looked at Qi Yuning's back, walked into the house and said to King Jin: "Daddy!"
King Jin took Zhao Rong down from the wheelchair and asked, "Are you okay today?"
Zhao Rong blinked and said, "Dad, was Princess Qi threatening you just now? I don't like Shuangjiang, can you drive Shuangjiang out? I don't like her because she looks like my mother and wants to take everything from my mother!"
King Jin patted Zhao Rong's head and said, "Be good."
Zhao Rong sniffed and said, "Daddy, don't you love Arong the most? Don't you like Arong anymore?"
Prince Jin wiped Zhao Rong's tears and said, "Daddy must like you the most, Arong, but Shuangjiang really looks a lot like your mother."
"But she is not my mother at all. How can she get everything that my mother has? Daddy, I hate her. I don't like her. Please let her leave the palace immediately!"
When Prince Jin saw Zhao Rong crying, it was the first time since she was born that he did not agree with Zhao Rong's wishes.
Zhou Jiayun's bridal sedan arrived at the gate of Prince Jin's Mansion. She looked at the gate in front of her, feeling unwilling.
Zhou Jiayun was wearing a bright red wedding dress today. After all, this was her first marriage, and even if she was to be a concubine, she was unwilling to compromise herself, so she specifically asked the Empress Dowager to have the Shanggong Bureau make a wedding dress for her.
However, after arriving at the gate of Prince Jin's mansion for a long time, Prince Jin did not come out to greet them. After a long time, the steward of Prince Jin's mansion came out and let the sedan chair enter through the side door.
"Concubine Zhou, the little princess is crying and Prince Jin is unable to spare her time. Please go to the palace by yourself."
Zhou Jiayun took a deep breath, thinking in her heart that she was just a little princess. If she could give birth to a prince first, she would naturally be favored by Prince Jin in the future.
As Zhou Jiayun's sedan chair entered the side door, she saw the doorman of Prince Jin's Mansion opening the main gate which had been closed all year round. She opened the gauze curtain on the sedan chair and watched Qi Yuning being surrounded by the servants of Prince Jin's Mansion and walking to the main gate.
Qi Yuning held Shuangjiang's hand and said, "If the King of Jin wants to give you medicine again, just say you don't want to take it. I don't believe that the medicine won't harm your body. You are a member of our Qi family, and you don't need to suffer injustice in the King of Jin's mansion!"
Shuangjiang was very moved and said, "Thank you, Princess."
Qi Yuning heard some noise from the side and unexpectedly met Zhou Jiayun entering the door. Qi Yuning glanced at Zhou Jiayun in the sedan chair and walked out of the gate of Prince Jin's Mansion.
Zhou Jiayun looked back at the main entrance from the sedan chair. She believed that one day she would be able to enter and exit through the main entrance openly!
Qi Yuning did not return to the princess's mansion immediately, but asked Xiaoman to find out whether Chen Nian had bought the infertility medicine in King Jin's pharmacy.
After asking three pharmacies, I finally found out that this was such a cold medicine. The little pharmacist in the pharmacy still remembered it clearly.
Qi Yuning went to the little medicine boy in person and confirmed that it was the maidservant beside Shen Nian who came to grab a few doses of infertility medicine like the one used by Frost. She frowned.
Chen Nian entered the Lu family with the hope of having offspring. Now that her child has miscarried, she should have valued offspring more. Why would she buy sterilizing drugs?
Qi Yuning returned to the princess's mansion with doubts.
Lingling hadn't seen Qi Yuning for almost the entire day today. When she saw Qi Yuning, she nestled in Qi Yuning's arms, babbling and relying on Qi Yuning very much.
Qi Yuning hugged Lingling and smiled gently, then kissed Lingling on the little face and said, "Good girl Lingling."
Lingling giggled when Qi Yuning kissed her.
When Lu Ze entered, he saw this scene. He walked up to Lingling with a smile and wanted to kiss her, but Lingling dodged and hid her little head on Qi Yuning's shoulder.
Qi Yuning really enjoyed Lingling's desire to only care about him. She smiled and said to Lu Ze, "Who told you not to spend more time with Lingling?"
Lu Ze said, "I took her with me all afternoon today, even when I was handling state affairs, but I didn't see you today. I didn't expect Lingling to stick to you so much as soon as you came back."
Qi Yuning said, "I went to the Prince of Jin's mansion today to see the frost. I saw that Princess Rong looked like she didn't have many days left. Her legs seemed to have rotted away."
Lu Zeyan said, "Princess Rong was addicted to drugs since her mother's womb. If it weren't for Princess Jin feeding her, she might have been able to quit when she grew up. But Princess Jin refused to listen to my advice and insisted on saying that mother and daughter are connected by heart and wanted to feed Cousin Rong herself."
Qi Yuning said: "Isn't this harming the child?"
Lu Ze said, "Well, it's hard for cousin Rong to get rid of her drug addiction at such a young age. I'm afraid she won't live for many years. When she dies, she will be in great pain."
Qi Yuning sighed deeply and said to the maid, "You all go down."
Ali, who was standing by, was very prudent and took Lingling away.
After the maid closed the door, Lu Ze saw that it was still dusk outside. He smiled and said, "If we hurry, we can still have dinner in time."
Qi Yuning was puzzled and asked, "Huh? What do you mean by hurry up? I have something important to tell you."
Lu Ze approached Qi Yuning, held her in his arms and chuckled, "The heir of the Lu family is of course a very important matter."
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze, very confused: "How do you know I want to tell you about the Lu family's heir?"
