Chapter 99 Pregnancy Pill
Lu Yunjin was stunned.
His mother's foundation was damaged when she gave birth to him, and the doctor said that she might have difficulty having children again in the future. Sure enough, his mother had no children since then.
Now that he is over 40, there is good news?
"Mom, did the doctor take the wrong pulse?"
He hesitated.
Mrs. Lu glared at him.
"How could the most famous doctor in the capital make a mistake?"
He smiled awkwardly: "I'm not afraid that you'll be disappointed..."
Madam Lu snorted and said, "This pregnancy of mine wasn't a stroke of luck. I took some magical medicine to get pregnant."
"A miraculous elixir?"
Lu Yunjin became more and more surprised.
Mrs. Lu then told him about her visit to Kiyomizu Temple in the middle of last month and her encounter with a strange person.
"I came out of Kiyomizu-dera Temple after burning incense and was about to get on the bus when I saw several women surrounding a slightly plump nun, whispering something."
"The nun gave each of them a palm-sized box, and they were all moved to tears of gratitude."
"I was curious, so I stood by and watched for a while. After the women left, the nun came towards me and asked if I was also there to ask for medicine."
"I said no."
"The nun laughed and said that my face showed that my uterus was damaged and I would have difficulty conceiving. She thought I was like those women, asking her for a fertility pill."
"I've lived most of my life and never knew there was such a thing as a fertility pill. Seeing how accurate she was, I asked her for one."
Hearing this, Lu Yunjin frowned and said, "How can you..."
"Of course I checked it with a doctor to make sure it wasn't poisonous before I ate it."
Mrs. Lu said unhappily.
"Your mother is not a three-year-old child, would she be so easily fooled?"
Lu Yunjin closed his mouth.
Mrs. Lu continued, "The doctor said this medicine contains herbs like deer antler, angelica, and Rehmannia root, which are indeed helpful for regulating menstruation and aiding pregnancy. I've taken this kind of medicine before, but it didn't work. This time, I took it with the idea of giving it a try."
"I didn't expect that I would get pregnant after taking only one pill."
"No wonder so many women are chasing that nun for medicine. If only I had met that nun a dozen years earlier, it would have been much better. But that nun doesn't look more than 20 years old. A dozen years earlier, she would still be in her mother's womb."
It really sounds like a miracle cure.
Lu Yunjin's heart moved.
Fu'er has been in the palace for two years and has never been pregnant. I'm afraid it's difficult for her to have children. If I had this easy-to-conceive pill...
"Mom, do you still have this medicine?"
"There's still one." Madam Lu knew, "The nun said I can only take it once every month. I thought I needed two to get pregnant, but I didn't expect one would be enough."
Lu Yunjin smiled and said, "Mom, can you give me the other one? We leaders don't have many children."
Mrs. Lu thought he was just trying to use the medicine as a favor so that he could get promoted to a higher level, so she agreed without hesitation.
After having the medicine brought to him, he was also told the precautions for taking the medicine.
Lu Yunjin listened carefully and thanked her, "Thank you very much, mother. Please have a good rest."
The matter of the Yi Fertility Pill was of great importance, and he was hesitant to ask someone else to pass it on, so he sent a message to the palace, asking Concubine Lu to find an opportunity to be alone with her at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.
Then he looked forward to the palace banquet.
At the Guangshan Marquis's mansion, Lai Yuerong's mood was completely opposite to his.
Ever since she was stung by a wasp and her face was disfigured beyond recognition, she has been in excruciating pain every day.
The wasps stung her all over, leaving her like a toad, with bumpy pustules all over her body.
These pustules were not only itchy and painful, but also red, swollen and ulcerated, making her unable to sleep at night or during the day, and she collapsed like a madman.
She endured it for half a month before the swelling of the pustules subsided.
However, the scars left behind cannot be removed.
She was so angry that she smashed the mirror.
Her face was ruined, so she naturally couldn't go to the palace banquet. Thinking that other noble ladies would dress up beautifully and appear in front of Lu Yunjin, she wanted to throw a hornet's nest in the inner courtyards of all the wealthy families.
"hateful!"
She stood in the courtyard, looking gloomily at the clear sky, unable to understand why a hornet's nest fell from the sky.
The maid who was sweeping up fallen flowers glanced at her several times, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
She was furious.
"What are you looking at! Don't you want your eyeballs anymore?"
The servant's wife hurriedly bowed and said, "I dare not. I heard a piece of news, but I don't know whether I should tell it or not."
"What news?"
"My wife likes to go to the tavern for a drink. Last night, while drinking there, she met a drunk who said he was good at throwing objects, and could throw them ten or twenty meters high."
The servant daughter-in-law replied.
"Others didn't believe it, so the drunk said he had just helped his young master throw a hornet's nest into our mansion a few days ago—"
"What?!"
Lai Yuerong interrupted her.
"Did he throw the hornet's nest that fell in my yard?"
The servant's wife nodded and said, "That's what the man said. My wife's face changed immediately and she asked why the young master would do such a cruel thing."
"That person said that their young master already had someone he loved, but he was constantly being followed and spied on by the young lady. When his beloved found out, she was extremely jealous, so their young master had him thrown into a hornet's nest."
Lu Yunjin had it thrown away?!
Lai Yuerong couldn't believe it.
"This is impossible! Lu Langcai is not that kind of person! He has always been compassionate to the poor and weak, how could he use such vicious means to deal with me?"
The reason why she was so devoted to Lu Yunjin was because during an outing in the suburbs, Lu Yunjin saw injustice and taught a lesson to a few hooligans who wanted to tease her.
How could the person who once protected me become the perpetrator?
"That person must have deliberately slandered Lu Lang!"
The servant's wife nodded and said, "My husband thought the same thing and deliberately asked that person who their young master's favorite person was."
"That person, avoiding the others, quietly told him that it was a palace concubine. The palace concubine and their young master's maternal grandfather were from the same place. Their young master met his grandmother when he was sending her back to her hometown for recuperation. The two of them were deeply in love. If it weren't for His Majesty's separation, they would have been married by now."
Imperial Concubine? !
Lai Yuerong sneered.
"What a bunch of lies! Where is this guy? He dares to spread rumors about Lu Lang in front of so many people. I will tear his mouth apart!"
The servant's wife said, "That man just talked a lot of nonsense and left. My wife doesn't know where to find him."
Lai Yuerong was extremely angry.
The petals that the maid had just gathered were kicked all over the place.
After the attack, she suddenly remembered something.
Not long ago, Lu Zhaoyi's family committed a crime and their property was confiscated and they were exiled. Lu Zhaoyi was demoted and became Concubine Lu.
The Lu family vaguely heard that he was from Weizhou, but they didn't know which county specifically. Lu Lang's grandmother was from He County, Weizhou. Could they be from the same place?
She felt a panic in her heart.
She immediately sent someone to the Criminal Court to inquire whether the Lu family had been escorted on the road. When she learned that the next day was the escort date, she quickly paid some money and went into the prison to inquire.
Lu Lang and Lu Meiren really know each other!
He even came to propose marriage!
So, is it true that Lu Lang was dissatisfied with Concubine Lu and had someone throw a hornet's nest into her to ruin her appearance?
She was shaking with anger.
She had to attend this palace banquet even if she had to wear a veil and not eat a single bite!
