Mo Qingying's hand holding the medicine bowl trembled suddenly. An stood up and scolded: "Although you are the Princess of Mu, you have no right to trespass into other people's houses. Ying'er is now the principal wife of Prince Su. There are people in her house who come to check her pulse every day. Princess Mu, please don't worry about it!"
Princess Mu raised the corners of her lips, looked at the medicine bowl, and sneered: "The smell of this medicine smells so familiar, like..."
She turned to look at the female medical officer beside her. The female medical officer immediately understood and said in a deep voice: "It's like the contraceptive soup that women drink, but it's a little different."
Princess Mu was immediately shocked. "Sister, you are the principal wife, why would you drink contraceptive soup? Is there something you want to hide?"
Su Bei saw that Mrs. Mo's hand trembled.
She didn't know what the medicine was before, but from the reactions of Mrs. Mo and Mrs. An, she felt that it was a little strange that Mrs. Mo wanted to take the medicine. She also felt that it was strange that Mrs. Mo cried while taking the medicine. After Princess Mu's reminder, she thought about it again, as she was the one who took care of Mrs. Mo's clothes, and it seemed that she hadn't seen bloody underpants for more than a month.
It turns out that night was not her illusion!
Madam Mo pretended to be calm and said, "Sister, you're overthinking. Prince Su is a man of great talent, a rare talent among men. I don't even look down on ordinary people!"
Princess Mu was immediately displeased. In terms of looks, the four princes were all good, but Prince Su was indeed better than the other three, and even Prince Mu was not as good as him. It was only the eldest daughter and the eldest son that were perfect.
After all, inheriting the throne is not about who looks good!
“Sometimes, there are things that my sister may not like or dislike. I heard that there was a fire in Prince Su’s mansion a while ago. That night, my sister suddenly fell ill. Her whole body was hot and her face was red…” There was sarcasm in the eyes of Princess Mu.
Su Bei thought to himself: Oh, yes, that was before catching the spy! But now is not the time to think about these things. Mo and I are allies. If she is caught by Princess Mu, she will definitely ask me to be the spy!
So without waiting for Madam Mo to speak, Su Bei knelt down first, "The princess is kind and kind, she couldn't bear to let me drink the contraceptive soup, but this is the rule after all. Before the legitimate son is born in the palace, illegitimate sons are absolutely not allowed, otherwise they will be laughed at!"
After saying that, without waiting for the others to say anything more, Su Bei stood up, picked up the bowl of medicine and drank it all up in one gulp.
It's so bitter! But it doesn't matter, she's not pregnant, so it's okay for her to drink it!
Princess Mu's face was full of colors. On the one hand, it was because Su Bei drank the bowl of medicine, and on the other hand, it was because there was a concubine in her own palace who was seven months pregnant and was going to give birth to a bastard before her.
A sharp light flashed in her eyes, and then she looked at Mo Qingying with a sneer, "So the story about Prince Su's infatuation with his sister is really just a rumor? After all, he favors someone else. I thought his sister had a better life than us!"
"Aren't all women like this?" Mrs. Mo came back to her senses from her shock and looked at her with a gloomy face.
"Sister and Prince Su have been married for more than three months. If there is still no movement, we have to take a closer look." Princess Mu said with a fake smile, "I am a female doctor specially hired by the prince to take care of the young master for me. My medical skills are amazing. Come, come, help me check sister's pulse. I must take good care of her! Let her get pregnant with the young master as soon as possible!"
The female doctor agreed and walked towards Mrs. Mo.
An quickly shouted, "Miss! We finally got to meet, what are you trying to do? It's getting late, Ying'er will be leaving soon, isn't it okay for us to say a few more words?"
Princess Mu turned to look at her with a stern gaze, "Auntie, please respect yourself! My current identity is Princess Mu, how can you call me a big girl?! Although we are both princesses, Prince Mu is the eldest son, while Prince Su is a concubine's son, so their identities are naturally different. As the emperor's sister-in-law, I naturally have to care about the royal bloodline!"
As she spoke, she waved her hand, and the two maids behind her escorted the female doctor forward.
Mo's hands hidden in her sleeves suddenly trembled again. If Princess Mu knew that she was pregnant, it would soon become known to everyone. By then, she would be dead for sure! Su Bei's eyes flashed, and he stood up and blocked in front of Mo, saying coldly: "Although there is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, the two princes are both second-rank officials, so how can there be a difference? My princess just took her pulse before she went out this morning. The palace doctor said that everything is fine. She just needs to wait for fate. Princess Mu doesn't have to worry."
Mrs. Mo suddenly felt relieved. She had been wary of Ah Bei, but she had never expected Ah Bei to defend her so much. Ah Bei must have known what the medicine was since he dared to drink it.
Princess Mu snorted coldly, "You are just a little maid. Even if you are favored by Prince Su, you are just a maid. How dare you disobey my order?"
Su Bei lowered her eyes and acted like a quail. "No, but it is my duty to protect my master. I am just a little maid, and Princess Mu can beat me whenever she wants. Just don't beat me too much, or our Prince Su will be unhappy and cause him to be at odds with Prince Mu!"
Princess Mu secretly clenched her fists. It was this little maid who whispered something to Madam Mo last time. Madam Mo said such words in front of everyone.
It was her again this time! She was sharp-tongued and every word she said made sense! The spies had said before that Prince Su and the princess did not get along, but he favored this little maid. If she really took action, Prince Su, who could beg His Majesty for Mo Qingying more than a dozen times, would probably turn against her.
Falling out with her is nothing. If Prince Su does something to displease Prince Mu and she is implicated, her life in Prince Mu's mansion will be even more precarious.
She simply stopped hiding it and said bluntly, "Just now Aunt An went out to buy medicine. Unfortunately, my maid was at the medicine shop. I heard that what Aunt An bought was not contraceptive soup, but abortion! medicine!"
As soon as the words came out, Mrs. Mo felt a chill spreading up her spine. Her mother had changed her clothes specially, but still couldn't escape the eyes and ears of others!
An was also very panicked, and her face showed timidity. She asked in a trembling voice: "Miss, what do you want to do?"
“Come here! Slap her in the face!” Princess Mu looked at her coldly, “You see that I don’t kneel and you still speak wildly, slap my face twenty times!”
The two maids of Princess Mu immediately changed their route and turned to An. The princess had an imperial decree, so what could she do if she beat a concubine? In recent years, An had been too ostentatious in the mansion. Not to mention their wives, even the other concubines hated her with gnashing teeth.
Seeing the two maids coming over, An was in a panic, Mo hurriedly stood up to protect them, and Su Bei secretly clenched his fists, wanting to protect his temporary ally.
But suddenly a loud voice like a bell came from outside the door: "I heard that my two princesses and daughters have returned home today. Come on, let me see which one is destined to be the queen!"
