Chapter 481: Fertility Pills
The maid beside the old lady held the exquisite and gorgeous paper box in both hands and handed it to Shen Qingtan respectfully.
Shen Qingtan's eyes fell on the paper box, and he couldn't help but think about the old lady's motives.
Whether it was the Great Zhou or the Northern Qi, invitations were delivered by younger generations or servants in the family.
The earlier you deliver it, the more respect you show to the guests.
The old lady actually came to deliver the invitation in person, half a month in advance.
All signs indicate that the Ministry of Personnel attaches great importance to the Guangling Palace.
However, the Minister of Personnel is the wise king's man and has a hostile relationship with their palace.
From a human and common sense perspective, she would never be invited to the birthday party.
After all, the virtuous prince is still under house arrest. If the Minister of Personnel invites her to attend the birthday banquet, it will inevitably cause misunderstandings about their positions.
Shen Qingtan's eyes flashed slightly. Could it be that the Minister of Personnel wanted to improve their relationship through the birthday banquet?
In other words, the Minister of Personnel is surrendering to them?
Most of the officials who supported the wise king followed the lead of the Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Justice.
If the old lady showed her favor at the birthday banquet, it would undoubtedly announce to everyone that the future Minister of Personnel would belong to the Guangling Prince faction.
After figuring out the key to the matter, Shen Qingtan accepted the invitation: "I've been feeling better recently, and it's your birthday, so I'll go join in the fun and bring some joy."
The old lady was slightly relieved when she saw Shen Qingtan accept it.
She took a few sips of tea, chatted with Shen Qingtan about some family matters, and then said goodbye and left.
The maid Qinxiang helped the old lady into the carriage and muttered, "From what I've seen, the Princess of Guangling is a kind person. No wonder she's the only one in the Prince of Guangling's backyard."
Looking across the entire capital, no other master could be like Prince Guangling, who did not take concubines or maids.
At every banquet, whenever Princess Guangling is mentioned, who wouldn’t envy her?
The old lady looked at the envy in Qinxiang's eyes and couldn't help but say a few words.
"You only see one side of the story, not the other."
"Princess Guangling is not only kind-hearted, she comes from a noble family, and her looks and talents are all top-notch. More importantly, the princess and the prince are in love."
"Besides, the prince is a man who values friendship and loyalty. The princess has been with him all the way, enduring countless hardships. This affection alone is incomparable to others."
"What's more, the princess saved the prince's life."
"In the end, the prince is the best. He never forgets his kindness." Qinxiang sighed, "There are so many unfortunate people in this world."
She is the most capable maidservant around the old lady.
It turned out that the old lady wanted to marry her to the son of the housekeeper.
It just so happened that she fell in love with the clerk in the old lady's dowry shop.
Instead of breaking them up, the old lady gave her a respectable job after they got married and helped her husband become the shopkeeper.
As soon as this man gained power, within a few months he secretly raised a little girl outside.
So when she saw the Princess of Guangling today, she was so envious that she forgot her status and started talking too much.
However, Princess Guangling has been married for more than a year, but there is still no sign of pregnancy.
If Prince Guangling sat on that position, would she still be the only woman by his side?
The old lady also thought of what happened to Qinxiang, but didn't say anything else.
Qin Xiang lowered her voice and said, "Old Madam, I remember you have a pill in your hand. If you take it, you can get pregnant. Why don't you..."
"Shut up," the old lady scolded. "Be careful what you say."
Serika shut her mouth.
How could the old lady not know what Qinxiang was thinking?
He simply wanted her to give the fertility pill to Princess Guangling. If the princess became pregnant, she would remember the kindness of their Shangshu Mansion and be able to save the lives of her children and grandchildren in the future.
The old lady turned to look at the carriage window.
The curtains of the carriage swayed back and forth as the carriage bumped along, and she saw the outline of Guangling Palace through the gap.
It is solemn and dignified, and cannot be climbed upon.
Even if Prince Guangling became the new emperor of Northern Qi, and even if Princess Guangling was able to bear children, she might not be the only one in the harem.
After all, being in that position, there are many things that are beyond your control.
Although the old lady thought so in her heart, she also had this idea.
She was thinking about what excuse to use to send the fertility pills to the Princess of Guangling.

On the other hand, Zhao Yi had no idea that someone was concerned about his offspring. After interrogating several criminals, he threw the charges to Li Leshan.
Li Leshan entered the palace with a hot potato in his hand, and after the Northern Qi emperor dismissed his court, he presented the charges to the emperor.
The Emperor of Northern Qi took a quick look and asked Li Leshan to deal with it according to the law.
Those who should be arrested will be arrested, those who should be searched will be searched, those who should be exiled will be exiled, and those who should be beheaded will be beheaded.
Li Leshan suddenly felt his head was getting bigger and the official hat on his head was about to fall off.
His life is so hard.
He did things that offended people.
The credit belongs to Prince Guangling.
Li Leshan was afraid that something unexpected would happen to Zhao Yi, so he immediately led people to arrest people and search their homes.
After everything was done, it was already dark.
Li Leshan didn't even take a breath and went straight to the Guangling Palace to report to Zhao Yi.
The gatekeeper handed him a letter: "Master Li, my prince has gone to Yongqing County."
Li Leshan felt like the sky was falling.
He quickly tore open the letter.
There were only two words in the letter.
【Wait for you. 】
Li Leshan crumpled the letter into a ball.
wait for me?
Where are you waiting?
Why don’t you wait for me in the palace?
Li Leshan's teeth were almost broken.
His Majesty asked him to keep a close eye on Zhao Yi, and if anything goes wrong, he should be beheaded.
Li Leshan did not dare to delay and immediately took his followers to leave the city before the city gates closed without even packing his bags.
Originally, they thought that since Zhao Yi was injured and looked weak, they should be able to catch up with him if they rode faster.
Unexpectedly, he rushed to the outside of the Yongqing County city wall day and night, but did not see any trace of Zhao Yi.
If there were no monsters in this world, he would have suspected that Zhao Yi had escaped underground to Yongqing County.
Along the way, he changed horses several times and ate and drank on the road.
Only when you are extremely tired will you rest on the spot.
Even so, he couldn't catch up with Zhao Yi.
Now we can only hope that Zhao Yi doesn't do anything weird again.
Li Leshan exhaled, took out the pass and handed it to the soldiers guarding the city, then entered the city and headed straight for the plum garden.
After knocking on the door, he pulled out a document from his pocket and said, "I am Li Leshan, the Chief Censor. I have official business to report to the prince."
The doorman asked in confusion, "Our prince is at the execution ground, don't you know?"
