The woman nodded, put her hand on her shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, my husband has lived in this mountain for a long time and is familiar with the herbs here. I'll ask him when he comes back! Do you still remember what you ate?"
Ma Qingyi frowned and thought about it, then shook her head helplessly.
She ate too much and didn't remember anything at all... because she had never thought that some herbs could cause illness!
"It's okay! Everything will be fine. If you don't experience some setbacks, they will come back to you in the future. It's better to solve them quickly and have peace of mind in the future!"
Ma Qingyi smiled with relief and nodded.
Seeing the woman return to the house, Ma Qingyi looked embarrassed again.
But... why do I have to deal with these setbacks even in these last moments!
Why didn't she use it instead of Lianrong? Why! Why!
Not fair!
Ma Qingyi's face gradually became gloomy. She stood up and looked up at the blue sky. The sunshine was so warm, but no matter how warm it was, it couldn't relieve the coldness in her heart!

Bai Hanguo
"Queen! The Queen Mother asks you to go to Cichen Palace!" Hua Lan said.
Chun Ling stood up and asked, "What does the Queen Mother want to see me about?"
"I don't know!"
Chunling nodded and went to Cichen Palace.
Seeing Bai Lishen and Xuanyi at the table, Chunling felt a little nervous, but she mustered up the courage to walk over. Before she could say anything, Xuanyi said, "Okay, no need to greet me, come and sit down!"
Chun Ling was stunned for a moment and looked at Bai Lishen. Bai Lishen used his expression to ask her to sit next to him.
Chunling sat down. Xuanyi glanced at her and said, "Today is the first time the three of us have dinner together, so don't be so reserved!"
Chunling was dumbfounded.
Why do we have to get together to eat when we have nothing to do?
Seeing her dissatisfied expression on her face, how could he possibly tell her not to be so reserved?
After finishing the meal, Xuanyi put down her chopsticks and looked at Bai Lishen and said, "It's been so long, and you still don't have a child! Your concubines have tried so hard to find a child, but there's still no sign of anything! Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
Bai Lishen suddenly smiled and said, "Mother, you know what's happened recently..."
"Don't use the excuse of having too many things to do! Do you really think I don't know?" Xuanyi suddenly looked at Chunling, who was lowering her head, and said, "Chunling! I know you two cherish each other, but Li Shen is the king. You have to let go of these sentimental things!"
Chunling nodded, "Yes, Chunling understands!"
Even if Chun Ling was stupid, she understood what he meant. The implication was that if she couldn't give birth to a child for Bai Hanguo, she would have to let other concubines give birth to one for him!
Xuanyi stood up, turned around and left without saying anything.
Bai Lishen pulled Chunling up and left quickly. Chunling saw him holding her hand and quickly broke free from him, saying, "What are you doing?"
Bai Lishen stopped, approached her and said worriedly, "I saw that you didn't eat much at the table. You must be hungry. I'll take you to eat something delicious!" As he said that, he smiled and pulled her away. Chunling was pulled by him and ran. Looking at his broad back, she smiled unconsciously, and sadness appeared on her face again.
Blame me for being too greedy. I wish you could always treat me like this!
Hua Lan looked at their receding backs and turned to leave.

Bai Lishen finished his government affairs and was about to go to Chunling's bedroom when he saw Xuanyi on the way. He walked up to her and asked, "Why is my mother here?"
Xuan Yi looked behind her and knew where he was going, so she said, "Don't go to her place today!"
Bai Lishen suddenly became anxious and stepped forward to ask, "Why? Don't you also hope that I can have a child soon?"
"Yes, I am hope!"
"Then why don't you let me go?" Bai Lishen looked at her with some dissatisfaction and asked.
Xuanyi's expression remained unchanged, still serious. "How many times have you slept with her? And now there's no sign of her pregnancy!" Xuanyi sighed deeply. "I won't force you. Today you go to Lady Qi. Lady Qi is Prime Minister Li's adopted woman. She's virtuous and dignified, with a charming demeanor! Go there!"
"Mother!" Bai Lishen frowned and interrupted her. "I will obey you on matters of state, but I hope Mother will not interfere in matters between Chunling and me!"
"How dare you! Isn't the issue of offspring a national affair?" Xuanyi shouted angrily with her eyes wide open.
"I really shouldn't have let you marry Chun Ling! Today is a huge disaster!"
"Mother! Why do you take out your anger on Chunling?" Bai Lishen said in a calm voice with his head lowered.
Xuan Yi was stunned for a moment, then regained her composure and asked, "What are you talking about?"
"I know that you went to Mo Yu Country that time, but were turned away and had to come back, so you were dissatisfied and took your anger out on Chun Ling!... Mother, when did you become so unfamiliar?" Bai Li frowned deeply and looked at her in disbelief.
Xuan Yi was startled and pretended to be calm, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Bai Lishen glanced at her and walked past her. Xuan Yi suddenly grabbed him and shouted in a sinister tone, "Stop right there! Do you really think I know nothing?"
Bai Lishen shook her off, ignored her, and continued walking towards Chunling's bedroom.
Xuan Yi was so angry that she suddenly yelled, "Don't think I don't know her identity!"
Bai Lishen suddenly paused, stopped, turned around and looked at her, "What did you say?"
"..." Xuanyi walked towards him, looked at him and whispered in his ear, "Don't think I don't know who she is. She's not a daughter of the Ma family at all! The Ma family only has one daughter, Ma Qingyi!"
Bai Lishen's eyes turned cold and said, "You investigate her."
"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself!... She pretends to be a lady from a noble family, but in fact she is just a maid who can't stand up to the public. I am already giving Ma Qingyi face by tolerating her to continue living here!" Then he took a few steps back and breathed a sigh of relief. "If you don't want to anger me and kick her out, then just be obedient!"
Bai Lishen secretly clenched his fists, making a crackling sound, and the veins on his nose bulged. "Okay! I can promise you, but you have to ensure her safety!"
Xuan Yi raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Kid, you are not qualified to ask me for anything now!"
"You..." Bai Lishen looked at her angrily. The person in front of him was his mother who had endured humiliation and hardship to raise him. She had been so kind in the past!
Now he has become so cruel and aggressive!
Bai Lishen smiled bitterly, shook his head, unclenched his fists, and walked past her.
Xuanyi glanced at him, then glanced at the person next to her, motioning her to follow.
Then he turned to look at the lighted room and left.
