So that's what it is.
Empress Xian understood.
"Your Majesty, this is a dog. I heard from the people in the palace that the white wolf that saved the little princess was very majestic. This white dog..."
Qiuxiang was silent.
It doesn't look very impressive.
Concubine Xian smiled and said, "Go and find out if it saved Xi'er. If so, it can be considered to be destined to Xi'er, so we can keep it in the palace."
"Also, declare it to the public as a dog and keep it as such!"
"It's fed according to dog standards, with meat for every meal. And since it saved Xi'er, I'll give it an extra bone every day."
Yuchi Xi:!!!
【My mother and I are so connected! 】
Empress Xian: Little fool, mother can hear your heart.
Qiuxiang asked doubtfully, "My Lady, what if it's not this?"
"If it's not this, keep it anyway!"
"It's fate that you can come to our palace."
"Yes!" Qiuxiang responded and went back to inquire.
White Wolf: Shashasha, there is meat to eat, there is meat to eat, no need to go hunting by yourself!
So cool!
Jing Huaian listened from the side, glanced at Yuchi Xi, and did not tell Concubine Xian that the little princess came out last night.
His instinct told him not to tell.
The other side.
Concubine Xu was very anxious because she couldn't see the emperor. She disguised herself as a personal maid, stuffed some silver and money into the guards at the side door, and sneaked out of the palace.
Go straight to the clinic where I bought medicine yesterday.
As soon as he arrived at the clinic, he whispered to the medicine boy, "I want to see Doctor Du."
The medicine boy glanced at her and whispered, "Please wait a moment."
"I'll go talk to Doctor Du first."
Xu Bin nodded, and the medicine boy came out after a while, "Miss, follow me."
The medicine boy led the way in front, and Xu Bin followed quickly.
The medicine boy took her to the backyard, where Doctor Du was already waiting. Concubine Xu hurried over and sat down opposite him. "Doctor Du, I have something important to say."
Doctor Du looked at the medicine boy and said, "You go and get busy first."
"Yes!" The medicine boy responded and turned to leave.
As soon as he left, Doctor Du said with a smile, "Madam, do you still want the medicine?"
Concubine Xu took off her veil, her face anxious, "Doctor Du, do you have a medicine that, if I use it, will make my husband fall head over heels for me, even from a distance?"
"Well, this medicine must bypass everyone else and only target my husband. After all, my husband has many guards around him."
Doctor Du: ? Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
This is a clinic, not a place for fake Taoist priests to cast spells!
Where in the world is there such medicine?
"It's not a very far distance, just like the distance from where we are now to the bed in your room." Xu Bin pointed.
Doctor Du: Isn’t this far?
"This..." Doctor Du was embarrassed. "Madam, I have never heard of or seen such medicine before!"
An expression of disappointment suddenly appeared on Concubine Xu's face.
"Madam, you only need to sleep with your husband to conceive a daughter. There is no need to worry."
Concubine Xu: ...That’s the problem!
The problem is, we can’t sleep together!
Xu Bin sighed, "Okay then."
It seemed that this clinic did not have the medicine she wanted, so Concubine Xu had to put on her veil and leave.
Full of disappointment.
Doctor Du: ...You should leave now. I won’t see you off.
What kind of weird patient is this?
He has been a doctor for many years, but this is the first time he has encountered this!
Not long after Concubine Xu walked out of the clinic, she saw a Taoist priest setting up a stall on the side of the road. Concubine Xu took a look, hesitated for a moment, walked over and sat down.
The Taoist priest sat up straight when he saw someone coming. "What does this lady want to calculate?"
Xu Bin:?! This Taoist priest is amazing! Everyone else thought she was a girl, since she was dressed like one. Only he could tell at a glance that she was married.
This Taoist priest really knows how to calculate!
Taoist priest: Although you act young, I can tell from the way you walk that you are not a virgin anymore!
"It's like this..." Concubine Xu moved closer to him and whispered, "I want to know, my husband doesn't like me, he doesn't even want to see me, how can I get pregnant with his child?!"
The Taoist priest smiled mysteriously, "You've found the right person!"
"Such a small matter is too easy for us Taoists!"
"Just a ritual will help you achieve your wish."
Xu Bin was delighted, "I wonder how much money the Taoist priest needs to perform a ritual?!"
The Taoist priest made a two gesture.
Concubine Xu asked hesitantly, "Twenty taels?"
The Taoist shook his head, "Two hundred taels."
Concubine Xu took a breath of cold air.
"so much?!"
The Taoist sighed, "Your situation is quite serious. I see from your face that your palace of children is already a little dim. If you can't get pregnant this year, you won't be able to get pregnant next year at all."
Concubine Xu's pupils shrank, and she was completely panicked.
No, no!
She can't live without a child!
The child is her bargaining chip for winning favor.
"Okay!" Isn't it just two hundred taels? She sold everything she could, she didn't believe she couldn't make up the difference.
Xu Bin narrowed her eyes, "But I want you to help me perform a ritual today!"
The Taoist priest smiled and said, "As long as the deposit is in place, there will be no problem!"
Concubine Xu secretly returned to the palace with the Taoist priest. When the Taoist priest saw the majestic palace, he was a little surprised. He thought it was the wife of an official who was trying to win favor and have a child, but he didn't expect it was actually a concubine in the palace...
