Qiu Yinong listened quietly. Chu Jinyao had been married for five years, and had not given birth in the first two years, so she wanted to force women on Emperor Jinglong.
After being rejected every time, he started to make a fuss about Chu Jinyao's infertility.
In fact, Chu Jinyao was almost given a sterile drug by her on her wedding night. Fortunately, she had a female doctor named Yuya with her, and she was discovered by her.
Chu Jinyao took advantage of the situation and acted like she was unable to give birth.
It was not until two years later, when the Queen Mother became so violent, that Chu Jinyao stopped taking the contraceptive soup and soon became pregnant with twins.
The Queen Mother was also surprised when she knew she was pregnant, but she soon realized that she had not taken any Chinese medicine, and she was naturally furious.
Although he wanted to cause Chu Jinyao to have a miscarriage, Emperor Jinglong protected her very well. The child was born safely and the queen gave birth to twins.
The man also wanted to make a fuss about the children, saying that twins were unlucky, but all his attempts were debunked one by one.
A year ago, the Queen Mother used the excuse that the Xirong royal family needed to expand and hold a beauty pageant.
Emperor Jinglong chose Yang Bijun and agreed with her that he would set her free after he understood the matter.
Yang Bijun also found it amusing, and she didn't want to get married, so she agreed to Emperor Jinglong's proposal and put on a big show with them for the Empress Dowager to watch.
The Queen Mother thought that Yang Bijun was her own person. After Yang Bijun entered the palace, she messed up the palace, and the Queen Mother was very satisfied.
He arranged for Yang Bijun's sister to marry his nephew, the prince of Chen, Chen Xiangnan.
He also conferred the title of Anrong County Lady on Yang Guilan, giving the Yang family enough face.
In fact, Yang Bijun is a double agent and is actually the emperor's person. Only Jinxin and four trusted maids on Chu Jinyao's side know this secret.
The four maids were also very smart. They pretended to be the same and deceived everyone in the palace.
Everyone thought that Concubine Rong and the Queen were incompatible and were only on good terms on the surface.
"Recently I've been feeling tired and coughing. At first I thought it was because I had just given birth and was weak."
"Now it seems that she was the one who attacked me." Chu Jinyao took a sip of tea to moisten her throat before speaking again.
Qiu Yinong stepped forward to feel her pulse, and Chu Jinyao asked, "Is it poisoning?"
"It's poison, but not just any poison. It's a Gu poison. The Gu is still dormant. Once it really starts to develop, it will eat away at my cousin's heart and lungs."
"He died of heart failure in the end. It was so cunning and truly vicious."
Qiu Yinong's face also darkened. In order to kill Chu Jinyao, the Queen Mother really went to great lengths.
"Can an ordinary doctor detect it?" Chu Jinyao asked again.
Qiu Yinong looked at her and replied, "Ordinary doctors won't notice it. They will only learn that it means heart failure and weak lungs."
"But the imperial physicians who enter the palace are all skilled in medicine and can at least detect any abnormalities."
After hearing what Qiu Yinong said, Chu Jinyao closed her eyes. She didn’t understand. She had been good to Yu Ya, so why did Yu Ya betray her in the end and stand beside the Queen Mother?
"People's hearts are hard to predict, so don't overthink it, cousin."
"I will use my spiritual power to control the insect first, so that it can't actively harm you. Once the insect dies, the owner will immediately notice it, and it will be bad if she attacks you from behind."
"This time, I will definitely help my cousin solve all the hidden dangers." Qiu Yinong quickly controlled the poisonous insect in Chu Jinyao's body and promised her.
Chu Jinyao felt relieved and smiled happily: "Our Ayun is really lucky. Now I feel that he is not worthy of you."
"Ayun is a very good person. He died to protect me in his previous life. Fortunately, God has mercy on us and allows us to meet again in this life." Qiu Yinong praised Chu Hongyun with a smile. Chu Jinyao was even more relieved to hear her say this, and liked this sister-in-law whom she met for the first time even more.
Despite his young age, he is indeed intelligent and steady. No wonder he was accepted as a disciple by an immortal.
This is a blessing for her siblings and also for the Great Chu.
As Qiu Yinong lifted the barrier, Jin Xin came over and said, "Master, the marriage between Anrong County Lord and Chen Shizi is off."
Chu Jinyao was not surprised, after all, Yang Bijun had just said that.
But the next words made Chu Jinyao frown instantly.
"Prince Chen also came to the palace a while ago. When he heard Concubine Rong's request to dissolve the marriage between the two families, he actually knelt on the spot and expressed his agreement with Concubine Rong's intention."
"He also said that he had met a girl he liked on his way out this time, and asked Your Majesty to grant him marriage after he found her."
Chu Jinyao glanced at Qiu Yinong and said hesitantly, "Yier, is this the person he's talking about?"
"Ms. Jinxin, has the Emperor of Xirong agreed?" Qiu Yinong smiled comfortingly at Chu Jinyao, then asked Jinxin.
Jin Xin quickly bowed and responded, "Your Majesty hasn't directly agreed. It must be that Concubine Rong has mentioned it."
"Just say that when he finds the girl, if she's unmarried, he can help her find a partner after asking her what she wants."
"But if the other party is ready to marry, or the woman doesn't want to, please don't get involved, Prince Chen."
Chu Jinyao raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Then, what did Prince Chen say?"
"He said that he believed the girl he chose would definitely choose him." Jin Xin replied calmly.
Qiu Yinong sneered: "He is quite confident."
"Besides that, His Majesty has sent word that a banquet will be held tonight, and it will be arranged by Concubine Rong. Officials have been ordered to bring their female relatives into the palace."
After hearing Jin Xin's words, Chu Jinyao was not surprised at all.
Firstly, my younger brother came to visit her on behalf of the envoys from Great Chu, and secondly, it was also to let the civil and military officials recognize her so that she would not offend others without knowing it in the future.
"Come on, accompany your sister to see which outfit to wear to the banquet tonight." Chu Jinyao pulled Qiu Yinong towards the inner room.
Just as Qiu Yinong was accompanying Chu Jinyao to choose clothes, Chen Xiangnan also stopped Chu Hongyun on the other side.
"I didn't expect that you would be the third prince of the Great Chu. I originally thought that you were just a guard." Chu Hongyun ignored Chen Xiangnan's undisguised sarcasm.
He sat there leisurely, looking at the sky outside.
It wasn't until Chen Xiangnan lost his patience that he looked at him calmly: "So?"
"This prince has taken a fancy to that girl. If you are sensible, please let her go. As far as I know, the Third Prince of Da Chu is not favored by Emperor Yongsheng, right?"
"And I am the most favored prince of the Duke of Chen's Mansion, and the Queen Mother's nephew. Now you are standing on the territory of the Western Rong. What do you think I want to do?"
Chen Xiangnan smiled triumphantly and flicked the non-existent dust off his sleeves.
Chu Hongyun smiled: "Since you are so confident, why bother to tell this prince? You can just give it a try."
Chen Xiangnan's face instantly darkened: "You're such a jerk who refuses to drink a toast and then drinks a forfeit. Now I'll teach you what power is!"
Chu Hongyun raised his eyebrows, and Chen Xiangnan walked away angrily.
Emperor Jinglong walked out of a side hall with his hands behind his back, looking at Chen Xiangnan's departing back, a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes.
“Brother-in-law, are you just going to let him be so arrogant?”
