"If my father hadn't asked her to come and ask for my longevity lock, I wouldn't have noticed Lin's behavior."
As he spoke, Gu Qingsheng walked into the inner room and pulled the longevity lock off Lin's neck.
Because it was washed in water today, the longevity lock looked very bright and the diamonds on it were sparkling.
"This is……"
Gu Fengnan naturally recognized this thing and took it to look at it.
"Isn't this the longevity lock that my mother wore when she was pregnant with Kiyomori? How come it's here with her?"
“It’s me…”
Prince Duan frowned and said
"I asked her to wear it, and I asked her to ask Qingsheng for it. Is there anything wrong with this longevity lock?"
"At that time, your mother also told me that wearing this longevity lock gave her peace of mind. Some time ago, Shuangyi kept telling me that she was having some heart palpitations, so I thought of looking for this thing to make her feel more at ease. I didn't expect..."
Having said that, Prince Duan stopped talking and looked at the longevity lock with a frown, lost in deep thought.
"So I said, I still have to thank my father."
Gu Qingsheng took the longevity lock and fumbled around with it for a while, but he didn't know where he had touched the mechanism. With a click, the diamond clasp opened, revealing some dark red paste inside.
No one expected that this small longevity lock would have such a mechanism. From the moment it was opened, the paste inside exuded a very wonderful smell.
The smell made me feel at ease, which justified what the late princess said.
Because of this mechanism, Prince Duan was startled and opened his eyes wide.
"What is this! How could this happen?!"
"Father still remembers."
She brought the longevity lock close to Prince Duan
"The origin of this longevity lock."
After thinking for a long time, Prince Duan was still a little uncertain.
"I remember this seemed to be a gift from the emperor..."
"Yes, this longevity lock is a gift from the emperor."
Taking over the words of Prince Duan, Gu Qingsheng chatted
"But this longevity lock was a tribute from the people of the Western Regions at that time."
"The Western Regions are good at witchcraft. When I presented this treasure to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, I explained it clearly."
"There's a poison in this longevity lock, but it's only considered poison for ordinary people. If it's used on pregnant women, it's a very nourishing herb."
"These were the words the Queen Mother said to my mother, and my mother said them to me."
"If a pregnant woman wears the Gu in this longevity lock, it will nourish the fetus in her womb, and the poison will gradually diminish."
She showed the Gu inside so that everyone could see it clearly. Sure enough, a lot of it had gone down, but the edges were also very old, and it seemed that it had not been used for a long time.
That's what's so strange about this matter.
"Ms. Lin has been wearing this longevity lock. If she were to wear it and become pregnant, the contents would definitely decrease."
"But no, as you all can see, everything inside is almost dry, as if it hasn't been used in a long time."
"So, Lin is pregnant this time."
“It might be fake!”
Everyone was shocked because this statement was too absurd.
Lin is five months pregnant, how could it be fake?
"During this period, the imperial physician came to the mansion regularly to check her pulse. Every time, her pulse was normal, and the baby was healthy. They said the fetus was stable. How could it be fake?"
Although Prince Duan did not show too much surprise, he frowned and expressed his doubts.
"Then I don't know what method Lin used."
Gu Qingsheng shrugged his shoulders
"Of course, if Father doesn't believe me, then let me ask you, when you came here, did you break off any peach blossom branches, or bring any peach blossom scent with you?"
"If I'm not mistaken, you must have some."
"Why is the princess talking nonsense now?"
Falling into the water, he sneered
"Peach blossoms don't belong in this season. Besides plum blossoms, what other flowers bloom this season? If you want to use this to make a fuss, that's really ridiculous."
"wrong."
After a long time, Prince Duan seemed to be thinking, he took a step closer to Gu Qingsheng
"I just came back from the Queen Mother's visit. The incense that the Queen Mother likes to use is the peach blossom scent..."
"That's right."
Gu Qingsheng said with a nonsensical smile
"It's called a poison, but in the end, it's actually just poison."
"If this poison is carried by a pregnant woman, it will naturally benefit her. If it is carried by an ordinary person, it will not cause any harm."
"However, if this poison comes into contact with water and something related to peach blossoms, it will definitely cause harm!"
“Like now.”
"It nourishes a woman's body strongly, but Lin's body doesn't have a fetus. It will only lead to excessive nourishment, hurting the body, and then causing severe bleeding."
“That’s what led to the current situation.”
Putting away the longevity lock, Gu Qingsheng stepped aside and said to Xu Qingyi
"If you don't believe me, you can ask the Imperial Preceptor to check Lin's pulse to see if she's having a miscarriage or if there's no baby at all. After this hemorrhage, I believe no matter how many tricks she has, they won't work."
This time Xu Qingyi did not go in, he took a step back
"The last time I took the princess's pulse for the first time, I found it was too steady, which might indicate pregnancy."
"Now it just proves my guess. If Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can ask another imperial physician to take a look."
"As for me, I won't go in. Since the princess is not pregnant, there is no need for me to go in."
She didn't know if it was Gu Qingsheng's illusion, but she heard a lot of disgust in Xu Qingyi's tone, and she couldn't help feeling helpless.
"Bai Lu. Go to the palace and ask for the imperial physician."
"No need."
Prince Duan stopped, looked into the room, and let out a long breath.
"Originally, I wanted to wait until she gave birth before making a decision, but now..."
Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, Prince Duan seemed to have made a great decision in his heart.
"Spray Lin to wake her up and escort her to the front hall."
…
A basin of cold water hits my face!
After a brief feeling of suffocation, Lin gasped for breath, and then saw the ferocious old women in front of her, with her blood on their hands.
After the pain, she was stunned. Lin gritted her teeth and looked at those women fiercely.
"What are you doing! How dare you, a bunch of bitches, throw water on me! This is simply lawless! Do you know who I am? Do you know who I am!!"
"I'm the princess! The princess of this palace! You bitches! I'm going to tell the prince! I'm going to tell the prince!"
"Shut up, ma'am."
A woman looked at her coldly, her eyes full of ridicule.
"Do you really think you're that high and mighty princess now? You've done such a filthy thing, and you still have the nerve to live on."
"If I were you, I would have died a long time ago!"
