After a while, Lin Chunhuan looked outside. Only Ke'er was left outside. She was standing there, struggling with something, pinching her sleeves from time to time, with a confused look on her face.
"Come on, let's go out."
Her heart was so blocked that she couldn't breathe. Although the conversation between the two was very obscure, as soon as Lin Chunhuan recognized the man, she already knew what the man wanted Ke'er to do.
Disappointed?
Of course disappointed!
But that person is Ke'er, the Ke'er who has been with her all the way!
Ke'er took a deep breath and was about to go back to Xingqing Palace. However, before she could move a step, she heard footsteps behind her. Her face suddenly changed drastically, "Who is it?"
"Empress..." Seeing who it was, the color on Ke'er's face faded away in an instant. Before Lin Chunhuan could reach her, the person had already knelt on the ground, "Empress, what are you doing..."
"Why, Ke'er doesn't want to see me?"
Lin Chunhuan asked the question even though he knew the answer, but the anger in his heart did not subside at all because of such sarcastic tone.
"Kneel down."
The emperor and the empress dowager couldn't know about this for the time being. Lin Chunhuan couldn't go back to Xingqing Palace for a while, so he brought the person back to Kunning Palace.
With a light shout, Ke'er's whole body trembled, her legs knelt on the ground as if they had no bones, and her face was indescribably pale.
Lin Chunhuan ignored her and just told Caihuan, "Take the thing out of her sleeve."
Hearing this, Ke'er raised her head suddenly.
However, she was no match for Caihuan. Before she could even resist, the small medicine bag hidden in her sleeve was taken away by Caihuan.
The moment Caihuan got the things, she opened the medicine package and carefully checked the ingredients inside. Soon her face changed drastically. She raised her head stiffly and looked at Lin Chunhuan without saying anything.
"Empress, please punish me!"
Ke'er bit her lip tightly. "Ji Lang and I are truly in love. Ke'er doesn't ask for marriage into the Ji family in the future, but... it's a pity for Ji Lang. Ji Lang is so talented and full of ambition. I really can't bear to see such a talent buried!"
Hearing Ke'er's tearful cry, Lin Chunhuan felt his chest pounding.
"Ke'er, I just want to ask you one thing. Do you know who this Ji Lang you're talking about is?"
"It's... Lord Ji's bastard son, Ji Congsheng."
Lin Chunhuan felt a pain in his heart as if it was being torn apart. He smiled bitterly, "You really do know. It's true. My Ke'er is so smart. I've been with her for several months. How could she not even understand her identity?"
Season clusters.
Lin Chunhuan could not ignore this name no matter what.
The reason is simple. After the massacre in the previous life, the emperor finally agreed to adopt a son, and the person chosen at that time was Ji Congsheng!
Lord Ji is an old minister of the previous dynasty, but he is also the brother of the current empress dowager. The emperor even has to call him uncle in private, but the empress dowager's mother's family was convicted in the past.
Although Lord Ji barely managed to save his life, he was exiled thousands of miles away.
Although he managed to survive until the emperor established the Ming Dynasty and was finally taken back to Kyoto, his body was overdrawn during the exile and he passed away after only a few days of happiness.
At that time, there were few male descendants in the Ji family, so the position of marquis fell to Ji Congsheng's father, who is now Marquis Ji.
Lord Ji is the old marquis's illegitimate son, and Ji Congsheng... is the illegitimate son of the illegitimate son. Even though he was born in the marquis's mansion, he actually has no say.
It just so happened that this man had some abilities and managed to stand out among the many young talents at that time. Of course, perhaps Lord Ji was secretly instigating this.
In short, Ji Congsheng was supposed to be the crown prince.
However, in this life, because of her appearance, many things happened unexpectedly. Logically speaking, the emperor had no idea of adopting a child at this time.
But the Ji family... as soon as they heard that she was pregnant, they couldn't wait to get close to the people around her. It seems that this trap against the emperor was set up long ago!
"I'm not interested in what's going on between you two. You don't need to explain to me whether you're sincere or not. Just tell me."
Without looking at Ke'er's pale face, Lin Chunhuan suppressed the pain in his heart and lowered his eyelids. "What did Ji Congsheng want you to do by giving you this powder?"
"What is the effect of this powder?"
Ke'er was trembling like a sieve. The truth had been exposed. She knew she couldn't hide it any longer. "Your Majesty, please kill me!"
"Answer whatever you are asked."
At this time, the calmer Lin Chunhuan's tone, the more flustered Ke'er became. After hesitating for a while, she finally said softly, "Yes, it's a medicine for reincarnation."
"Ji Lang said that as long as you give birth to a princess and His Majesty has no sons, then one day he will have to adopt an heir. At that time, at that time..."
"By then, will he have the chance to become the crown prince?"
Lin Chunhuan sneered and continued the conversation. Seeing Ke'er hanging her head and saying nothing, the nameless anger in his heart rushed up, "Idiot, idiot!"
"A pill to change your body's sex life? You've been by my side for so many years, and you actually believe such nonsense!"
Ke'er held back her tears and raised her head. "Ji Lang wouldn't lie to me. He said this medicine won't harm your body. Your Majesty, His Majesty is already quite old. If you really give birth to a prince, it's still unknown whether His Majesty can live to see the little prince grow up."
"If the emperor were to pass away suddenly one day, wouldn't you, your widowed mother and young emperor, be eaten alive by those people? Your Majesty!" Ke'er slammed her head to the ground again, her whole body shaking with tears. "This is a dead end, a dead end!"
"So, you still care about me."
Lin Chunhuan snorted coldly. Seeing that Ke'er didn't say anything, he took a deep breath to calm himself down. "Caihuan, tell her what this thing in her hand is used for."
Caihuan looked reluctant.
But even though she wasn't smart, she knew exactly how wrong Ke'er had been this time. She hesitantly walked up to Ke'er and started signing, "Ke'er, this is a sterilizing drug."
"If a pregnant woman eats half a packet, she will have a miscarriage. If she eats the whole packet, she will never have children again."
"How, how is it possible... Ji Lang clearly said this is a medicine to change the fetus, how can it be a sterilizing medicine!"
Ke'er's body softened and she fell to the ground, staring blankly at the colorful ring in front of her.
However, after Caihuan finished what she should do, she didn't say anything else, but just looked back at Ke'er. Even Caihuan understood it very well.
Ke'er knew her abilities. Although she wasn't the best at using poison, there were definitely only a handful of people in the world who could rival her.
She said it was a sterilizing drug, and there was no other possibility.
