Changan was stunned, and her tears fell instantly. A warm current flowed through her heart, "Grandma, I am very satisfied to have your love."
Yes, if we think about the problem from a different angle, it is two completely different levels.
"Grandma knows you're a good child," the Queen Mother said gravely. "Tell me, among those women, are there any from powerful and noble families?"
"No." Chang'an was very sure. "Don't worry, Madam Empress, they are all innocent girls from decent families. As for the daughters of powerful people, in Chang'an's opinion, it is impossible now. Unless the emperor gives an order, no one will be willing."
"It's all fate. Chang'an, you should listen to the Empress Dowager." As she said that, the Empress Dowager glanced at Manager Li.
Then, Manager Li brought a small porcelain vase with orchids, "Princess Xuan."
Changan took it and asked, "Grandma, what is this?"
"Heartbreak Dew," the Queen Mother said, "Child. Regardless of whether Xuan'er can recover in the future, you must keep this. After those women give birth, give them this to drink, and raise the children with you.
If Xuan'er recovers, that would be a good thing. If God really doesn't want to spare her, with this child and the Empress Dowager, you can live a worry-free life. Do you understand?"
Changan was shocked. She knew that the Queen Mother treated her well, but she never dared to hope that the Queen Mother would make such plans for her. "This was originally Changan's good intention. She was worried that she would not be able to conceive a child for the prince in a short time. She was also afraid that the prince's body would not be able to hold on. She wanted to leave a child for the prince, so she arranged for some women to live in the prince's palace.
But... Chang'an never intended to harm them, Grandma, they are all innocent women."
"They are innocent." The Queen Mother did not give in at all. "But in the heart of the Empress Dowager, you are the most important."
"Then..." Chang An was moved and heartbroken. At this moment, Chang An began to doubt whether his actions were correct. Could it be that, as Bei Mingxuan said, he had implicated innocent people for his own purposes?
Thinking of this, Chang'an felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Well." The Queen Mother looked at Chang'an's troubled face and knew that Chang'an must be extremely embarrassed. "If you really don't want to harm their lives, the Queen Mother has a medicine that can make them lose their memories. Are you willing to do that?"
"Grandma Empress is really thoughtful." Chang'an smiled and put the orchid porcelain vase aside.
The Queen Mother looked at Chang'an with satisfaction and said, "It would be great if you could give birth to a boy for Xuan'er yourself. The Queen Mother will ask the people in the Imperial Hospital to make some pregnancy-enhancing medicine and then send it to Prince Xuan's palace."
"Princess Xuan," Li, the steward, said with a smile, "The Queen Mother really does care about you, especially Fu Xue'er in Prince Xuan's mansion. You can tell at a glance that she's not an easy person to deal with. Now that there are many more women in the mansion, the Queen Mother is worried that you'll suffer."
"Yes." The Queen Mother continued, "In a moment, let Li, the headmaster, go back with you to the mansion. From now on, let Li, the headmaster, be by your side. Let's see who dares to bully you again."
"......?" Chang'an was shocked. If he asked Manager Li to serve in the palace, wouldn't he and Bei Mingxuan have to live together day and night?
Not right, not right.
Chang'an absolutely refused to allow it. "Grandma, I know you care about me. But in this palace, if Li Zhanshi leaves you, it will be inconvenient."
"That's all right." The Queen Mother smiled, but she still insisted on her own opinion. "I, the Empress Dowager, have plenty of people here. Besides, Aunt Wang is always there to serve me."
Chang'an knew this Aunt Wang. She and Manager Li were both the Queen Mother's confidants and right-hand men. So, Chang'an couldn't refute it. "Okay, then I'll have to trouble Manager Li."
However, Chang'an didn't know that the Queen Mother arranged for Manager Li to follow him back to Prince Xuan's Mansion because it was Bei Mingxuan's personal request.
The reason was that Bei Mingxuan was weak and worried that someone would bully Chang'an when he was not around, so he begged the empress dowager to arrange someone to serve Chang'an.
So the Queen Mother arranged for Li to be in charge.
In addition, the Queen Mother saw with her own eyes that Fu Xueer did not take Chang'an seriously.
When Bei Mingxuan mentioned this, the Queen Mother immediately agreed.
Prince Xuan's Mansion.
Before going to bed.
"Your Highness, Princess, I will be your servant tonight." Manager Li smiled as he brought over a dark potion. "This is the potion for pregnancy that the imperial physician just prepared."
As he said this, he raised the medicine bowl and pointed it at Chang'an.
Chang'an smiled as he glanced at Bei Mingxuan, who was sitting crookedly beside him, covered in a fox fur coat. Then, shyly, he took the medicine and said, "Master Li, do you have any pregnancy-enhancing medicine left? Give each of the women in the inner courtyard a bowl."
"Your Highness, you don't know." Manager Li explained, "The Imperial Physician has instructed that the pregnancy-maintaining medicine must be taken before intercourse. Your Highness won't be visiting them tonight, so even if you took it, it would be a waste. Besides, the Queen Mother has repeatedly instructed that your Highness give birth to your first child."
"Okay." Chang'an looked agreeable and drank it directly without saying anything else.
Then, he quickly put a candied fruit into his mouth and frowned, "Why is this medicine so bitter?"
"Only hard work can bring good results." Manager Li said with a smile, "There is one more thing I need to tell your princess. The imperial physician just said that the prince is weak at the moment and should not be overworked, so I will trouble your princess with the matter of the heir."
“!!!”
In an instant, Chang'an felt like his heart stopped beating.
What's the meaning?
What does it mean that the prince is weak?
What does it mean that the prince should not be overworked? What does it mean that the princess has to work harder on the matter of offspring? ! !
"Don't be shy, Princess. If you don't know how, there's someone waiting outside who can teach you herself."
"..." Chang'an seemed to have heard something that was extremely ridiculous.
When she looked at the woman who walked in from outside, she immediately understood what was going on.
Turning to look at Bei Mingxuan, I saw him with an expressionless face and half-closed eyes.
Changan was furious. Pretending! Bei Mingxuan told you to! He immediately sent a message to him, "Bei Mingxuan, stop pretending to be fine. Are you still weak?"
Bei Mingxuan didn't open his eyes either, his lips slightly raised, indicating that he was in a good mood at the moment. [Yeah, you can only know if it's weak after trying it. Why don't you feel it yourself tonight?]
Chang An felt her face flush red. She gritted her teeth, a smile appeared on her face, and she looked at Li, saying, "That's not necessary. The prince will teach you personally, so there's no need to trouble you, young lady."
"Chang'an, you haven't learned well." Bei Mingxuan spoke slowly, his breath weak. "I think it's because I haven't taught you well enough. I should let this girl stay and teach her properly."
Manager Li, "..."
