Like the fourth Yanshi, the seventh Yanshi cared most about her children, and the first Yanshi's words hit her soft spot.
Seeing that the seventh Yanshi seemed to be shaken, the first Yanshi continued.
"Seventh sister, don't blame me for not reminding you. The Fourth Prince is still young. If Jiu Yanshi gives birth to a child, the Khan's attention will be on those two children. What will happen to your Fourth Prince?"
Princess Chaoyang also urged: "When I was in the Great Chu, I saw many brothers making things difficult for their elder brothers after they succeeded to the throne. Qi Yanshi, you should think it over carefully."
The seventh Yanshi's face was pale, and she seemed to have been instigated by the first Yanshi and Princess Chaoyang.
After a long while, Qi Yanshi finally came to her senses and said to Da Yanshi, "I, I understand. Thank you for your kindness. What do you need me to do?"
Da Yanshi was very pleased with Qi Yanshi's knowledgeable and interesting appearance, so she asked someone to give Qi Yanshi a bottle.
"What's this?"
Qi Yanshi looked at the clean white bottle and couldn't tell what was inside.
Da Yanshi said slowly, "There are some good things in here that were passed down from the previous dynasty. Just a little bit of it can make people excited."
Qi Yanshi couldn't believe it. She had heard that the Jin Dynasty, which preceded the Chu Dynasty, was destroyed because its rulers all took this drug.
But how could Da Yanshi have this medicine after it had been lost for so long? Or was Da Yanshi's power so formidable that she could have obtained this medicine without the Khan's knowledge?
Knowing what Qi Yanshi was thinking, Da Yanshi waved her hand and said, "This thing is not mine, it belongs to Princess Chaoyang."
Princess Chaoyang was very proud. She said that the Da Yanshi and the Qi Yanshi were all ignorant people. She was the Princess of the Great Chu and was well-informed. But they were scared like this just by a little medicine.
When Bai Yuzhi is overthrown, she will get rid of these women one by one. Then she will give birth to an heir and become the most noble woman on the Dajin grassland!
Princess Chaoyang was already imagining the good days when Bai Yuzhi would be rejected by Nahan Oren after her miscarriage, and then she would be favored.
However, the courage that Qi Yanshi had finally mustered was almost completely extinguished by the fear of the medicine. She held the medicine bottle tremblingly: "This thing is very serious. I, I dare not."
The first wife put down her teacup and coaxed the seventh wife with a gentle voice that could bewitch people: "What are you afraid of? I didn't ask you to give it to her directly. I just need you to put this medicine bottle where the third wife can see it. You don't have to worry about the rest. Just hold your son and wait for a good life."
The Seventh Concubine Yan was in a daze. She knew that the First Concubine Yan wanted to use her to drag the Third Concubine Yan into the trap, killing two birds with one stone. This medicine was rare. If the matter was exposed and the Khan was willing to investigate, he would definitely be able to trace it back to Princess Chaoyang.
But by then, the matter had already been done. Even if Princess Chaoyang was punished, Bai Yuzhi and San Yanshi would definitely be finished.
Considering how much importance Nahan Olun attached to this pregnancy, it is hard to say whether Nahan Olun would vent his anger on Bai Yuzhi if he failed to keep the child. Even if not, Bai Yuzhi had lost the child and became addicted to drugs, so there was no possibility of her surviving.
As the murderer, Nahan Oren would certainly not let San Yanshi go.
But……
"But what should I do if the truth comes out?"
The seventh Yanshi looked panicked. She asked the first Yanshi as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"You just lost a bottle that contained something. Whoever picked it up and used it is none of your business."
Qi Yanshi looked at the bottle and saw three words on the bottom that she could not recognize.
It should be the text of the previous dynasty.
Qi Yanshi felt a little relieved, but she still had questions.
"Then how can you be sure that San Yanshi will know what this thing is after she picks it up, and that she will definitely use it on Jiu Yanshi?"
Da Yanshi lost her patience: "None of this is your concern. You just need to tell me now, are you going to do it or not?"
At this point, Da Yanshi had told her almost all of the plan. If she didn't do it, Da Yanshi would definitely take action against her to prevent the matter from being exposed.
Qi Yanshi has no way to retreat.
She hardened her heart and thought about her infant son: "Okay, I'll do it."
The seventh Yanshi took the bottle of medicine and left the first Yanshi's tent. After a while, Princess Chaoyang also came out and returned to her own tent.
No one knew about this conspiracy except the three of them. But that very night, San Yanshi's confidant Ezhu presented San Yanshi with the medicine bottle that Qi Yanshi had casually discarded.
"What is this?"
San Yanshi did not understand what he meant.
Ezhu was the maid who had been serving her since she first married Nahan Oren. She had been loyal to her for so many years. San Yanshi trusted her very much, so when she saw her bringing back a medicine bottle, she asked.
Ezhu replied, "Yanshi, today I was going to the kitchen to get you some milk cakes, but I ran into Qi Yanshi on the way. I saw her acting furtively, as if she was throwing away something shameful, so I went over to take a look and discovered that she had thrown away this very thing!"
"So what? It's just a bottle of medicine." San Yanshi didn't care at all and even jokingly said, "Are you trying to say this is a bottle of poison?"
San Yanshi opened the medicine bottle carelessly but was stopped by Ezhu.
"Yanshi can't do that!" Ezhu looked panicked.
San Yanshi finally realized something was wrong and asked excitedly, "Is this really poison?"
She was caught because it was Qi Yanshi who harmed people.
But Ezhu shook her head and said, "Yanshi, you don't know that when I was young, I once wandered in the Central Plains for a period of time and I know some characters from the previous dynasties. What's in this bottle is something more terrible than poison. It's magic powder!"
