"Fennel, you must remember that the Imperial Noble Consort is the Emperor's most favored woman, and it's not something we can talk about." Lu Qingyan glanced back, and Fennel caught a glimpse of the light blue hem of her dress and immediately understood.
Walls have ears, but even without walls, there are still eavesdroppers. She, a mere servant, shouldn't be saying these things; if it reaches the Emperor's ears, she might implicate her mistress.
Lu Qingyan sneered inwardly. You believe her when she says it's for health and fertility? To put it nicely, it's a tonic; aren't you afraid that if you actually ingest it, it's just poison coming in mouthful after mouthful? Lu Qingyan did tamper with those medicines, but she didn't add poison, so even when Zongzheng Shen consulted the imperial physicians, they couldn't detect anything. Do you mortals think you can detect what the system produces?
[Beep—Successfully purchased "Monster Seed," deducting 500 points.]
Wow, this stuff is really expensive.
But it doesn't matter, Lu Qingyan still has plenty of points, as long as the items are useful.
Once the white oriole's belly is full and the melon is ready to fall, Lu Qingyan is eagerly anticipating Zongzheng Shen's expression when he sees the "monster seed" sprout.
"Order your men to collect more medicinal herbs and send them all to the Imperial Noble Consort," Lu Qingyan said leisurely, her eyes curving into crescents. Jun Jiuxian had told her that Bai Li's health was indeed not very good, and in order to allow that precious seed to absorb more energy, she should give Bai Li a good boost.
The women in the palace initially thought she was crazy. Even Zongzheng Shen thought Lu Qingyan was seriously insane, initially believing that she was jealous and wanted to harm his beloved.
However, when Zongzheng Shen sent people to investigate Lu Qingyan, they found that she had no such intentions at all. He even sent his secret guards to infiltrate Chang Le Palace to see what Lu Qingyan was up to, only to discover that Lu Qingyan preferred to have all the medicinal herbs purchased by his people, while she herself only provided the money and never handled a single penny herself.
This gradually put Zongzheng Shen at ease about Lu Qingyan. Seeing that she was always asking the Lu family for money to buy a large amount of rare materials and send them to Bai Li's palace, Zongzheng Shen was initially quite pleased with himself and even more contemptuous of Lu Qingyan.
If someone uses their own family's money to support a child who has little to do with them in an attempt to curry favor with them, then they should give him that opportunity.
Later, Lu Qingyan became more and more frequent in delivering the gifts. Zongzheng Shen had come to believe that Lu Qingyan would never harm Bai Li. He had originally planned to get rid of Lu Qingyan as soon as possible to make way for his precious Bai Li. However, now that Lu Qingyan was so sensible, and considering that the court needed General Lu and Empress Lu to shield Bai Li from the limelight, Zongzheng Shen, who had originally wanted Lu Qingyan dead, changed his mind.
The Lu family regained the Emperor's favor and began to wield real power.
Not long after, Bai Li was found to be pregnant. Zongzheng Shen couldn't help but attribute some of the credit to Lu Qingyan. It seemed that the medicine that Empress Lu found was quite effective, as he had a precious son so quickly.
Imagining the joyous scene of his beloved woman giving birth to his son, Zongzheng Shenlong was overjoyed and even took the initiative to gradually distribute some of the power in the harem to Lu Qingyan.
In Zongzheng Shen's eyes, Lu Qingyan was like an obedient puppy at this moment; giving her a few bones would be enough. His darling was fine as long as she was pampered by him and didn't need to get involved in these trivial matters.
Lu Qingyan looked at the phoenix seal in her hand and breathed a sigh of relief: "Phew, I've finally got what I've been longing for for so long."
