Chapter 110 I Like the Prince So Much
"There are problems with the flowerpot and bath water that Concubine Fang sent."
Lin Baozhu did not answer Shen Lingshu's question, but spoke to herself. Now there was no one else in the yard, only the two of them.
Lin Baozhu said straight to the point: "There is musk in the flower mud, so it is easy to find, but the flower pot has been soaked in musk for 49 days."
"This kind of soaked flower pot has a musky scent. If you are not a doctor with an extremely keen sense of fragrance or a master perfumer, you will not be able to detect it at all."
Lin Baozhu continued, "Also, the flower soup I had when I first entered the mansion had cold stone powder added to it."
After she finished speaking, Lin Baozhu looked at Shen Lingshu's shocked expression, and she said: "All the spices, I only need to smell them to know what is in them."
There was a barely perceptible hint of pride in her voice.
Shen Lingshu seemed to slowly digest what she said. She asked, "Auntie Lin, what do you want from me when you tell me these secrets?"
"I want children."
Lin Baozhu's eyes flashed, and she looked at Shen Lingshu and said that only by having a child could she survive in this palace, instead of wanting to leave the palace, having no silver or money in her hand, and having to beg the prince!
Now, she is still young and lucky, and can even ask the prince for help. If she waits until she is old and ugly, I am afraid that she will not be able to die quietly in the backyard of the prince's mansion.
Shen Lingshu fell silent. She looked at Lin Baozhu. Seriously speaking, she was very beautiful, with a kind of fragile beauty.
Because she rarely goes out all year round, her skin is unusually white, like a beautiful porcelain doll. She said, "Mrs. Lin, it's not difficult for you to be favored."
She hasn't even started serving the prince yet, but the prince likes to visit her. As long as she wants, it won't be difficult for her to gain favor and give birth to a child!
"But I can't protect it." Lin Baozhu lowered her eyes. If Shen Lingshu agreed to her immediately, perhaps she would still hesitate.
She may feel that Shen Lingshu is no different from those who want to use her and plot against her.
Now, Lin Baozhu raised her eyes and looked at Shen Lingshu's beautiful face. There was no shortage of beauties in the backyard of the palace. Although she did not enter the palace as early as Aunt Li, she entered the palace earlier than Concubine Fang.
Let's not talk about the concubines who died in the past. Let's talk about the current Concubine Fang. She is dignified and generous. Concubine Li is like a close sister. Qi Qing is like a beautiful but foolish beauty. Concubine Cheng is more like a flower of eloquence...
In the future, there will be countless beauties in the palace. She sees clearly how cruel Concubine Fang is. No one else can give birth to a child except her. Even the matter of Princess Lin has the shadow of Concubine Fang.
The only difference was that Concubine Fang escaped unscathed, while she was used as a pawn to harm Princess Lin's concubine. At this time, the grass on her grave was taller than a person.
Shen Lingshu was able to get pregnant under Concubine Fang's nose and give birth to the child safely. Lin Baozhu felt that it was worth her gamble!
She just wants a child and someone to rely on. It doesn't matter that the Wen family treats her as a money bag. It is a good thing for her cousin to get married. Although she feels sad, she will also bless him.
After all, she entered the Linwang Mansion and had no luck.
However, the Wen family should never, ever take advantage of her cousin's affection for her and his promise to never marry to make her feel guilty, while at the same time, her cousin and his newlywed wife have had two children in three years and are deeply in love.
Lin Baozhu lowered her eyes and hid the hatred in them. What about her uncle being sick, her cousin taking the imperial examination, and being short of money? They were all lies!
"Concubine Shen, my perfume-making skills might be of some use. As long as Concubine Shen is willing to keep a child for me, I am willing to help Concubine Shen."
Lin Baozhu told her the purpose of her visit, and she stared at Shen Lingshu with burning eyes.
"Then, happy cooperation?" Shen Lingshu smiled. Lin Baozhu's perfume-making skill was what she needed most.
"Then, what do I need to do?" Lin Baozhu asked impatiently.
"Keep fit."
Shen Lingshu looked at her and said, "You should take good care of yourself now, otherwise, even if you get pregnant, you won't be able to keep the baby."
"Okay." Lin Baozhu responded.
"Second, keep your distance from me, be neutral, and don't rely on anyone."
Shen Lingshu looked at her and said, "You were always sick before, and you didn't care about anything. It's fine. Keep it up."
"Can……"
Lin Baozhu looked at Shen Lingshu, and before she could say anything, Shen Lingshu continued: "Your maid is called Xiuhua, right? Next time you have a quarrel with Liu Si, of course, you can't break your character."
"What is a personality?" Lin Baozhu asked humbly.
"You are a calm and composed person, but tomorrow you will imitate Concubine Qi and bicker with others to win favor."
Shen Lingshu made an analogy, and seeing that she seemed to understand, she said, "After you recover, let Xiuhua tell Zhuxin to come to my yard less often in the future."
Lin Baozhu responded, listening to Shen Lingshu's words, as if she felt that her previous cleverness seemed to be useless at this moment. At the end, she asked: "Concubine Shen, aren't you worried that I'm pregnant with the prince's child?"
Shen Lingshu raised her eyes and smiled, "Your Highness has few children, so it would be great if you could have a few more."
“…”
Lin Baozhu was stunned by this scene. She came out of Youlan Courtyard, still in a daze. All the way back to Meixiang Courtyard, Lin Baozhu murmured, "Xiuhua, tell me, does Concubine Shen hold the prince at the top of her heart? Does she love the prince so much?"
Otherwise, why would she still worry about the prince not having many offspring?
In Qiutang Courtyard, when Concubine Fang received the news, she snorted coldly, "This Aunt Lin, is she trying to curry favor with the Shen family but failing?"
"Oh."
Concubine Fang sneered and asked, "Madam Gui, how is the investigation going? Is Shen and her cousin having an affair?"
"There's been no news from Concubine Shen yet, and there's been no news from Madam either. It takes some time to get from Kyoto to South City, not to mention that we have to stay out of the sight of others."
Nanny Gui comforted her, "Don't worry, Concubine. Madam has invested a lot of money this time. Even if there is nothing, we can find out!"
"Um."
Concubine Fang suppressed her anxiety and asked, "What happened to Concubine Shen? What happened in the lotus pond that day?"
"I have found out that Concubine Shen fell into the water." Nanny Gui said.
Concubine Fang glanced at her and asked after a long while, "Was she rescued by a man?"
Or was he rescued by the guards?
"She was rescued by a maid."
Nanny Gui replied, puzzled, "But I don't know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is angry."
"this……"
Concubine Fang thought about it for a while, then gave up and said, "Okay, forget about Concubine Shen. Zhu Xin has also gone there. Maybe this matter is related to Shen Lingshu."
When she thought of this, Concubine Fang couldn't sit still. She said, "Madam Gui, keep a close eye on that bitch Shen Lingshu. Don't let her get into any trouble!"
"Yes." Nanny Gui responded, "Madam Qi has taken refuge with the concubine, while Madam Cheng and Madam Lin..."
"Stare at her." Concubine Fang always felt that she had underestimated Shen Lingshu before. She was not a person with only beauty but no brains.
"Then, where is Aunt Li?" asked Aunt Gui again.
"Don't worry about it." Concubine Fang waved her hand, her eyes dark. "After she became pregnant, she was like a frightened bird. How could she have the mind to harm others?"
