After about a quarter of an hour, Shangguan Ziqi spat out a mouthful of blood with a "wow" sound, and the prince slowly stopped his training.
"How do you feel?" the princess asked with concern.
Shangguan Ziqi took two breaths before looking up at the two women in front of him.
"Mother, I'm much better."
Yu Yuanzheng grabbed one of his hands and felt his pulse. His heartbeat was still fast, so it could only be said that he had partially understood the situation.
"Prince, Mother, you two should leave first, and I'll help him a little bit, and everything will be fine. This medicine will still be harmful to your body if its properties are not completely removed."
"How are you going to help him?" The princess was afraid that she would do something stupid.
"Don't worry, my daughter-in-law has a way." Yu Yuanzheng affirmed.
"Then why do we have to leave?" The princess was puzzled.
As a result, he was pulled out by the prince.
Men still have more ideas.
"Why are you pulling me? What if the children do something wrong?" The princess's worried voice could still be heard outside the door.
Yu Yuanzheng said nothing, and directly helped Shangguan Ziqi lie down. Then she began to help him relieve his pain. Of course, she did not use the formal method, but asked the Fifth Lady to help.
Shangguan Ziqi did not return to normal until Yu Yuanzheng's hands were so sore that he almost lost his strength.
"Ma'am, I'm sorry. It's my fault." Shangguan Ziqi gently hugged her in his arms, feeling guilty.
The lady was so guilty about doing this to save him.
"Tell me, what happened?" Yu Yuanzheng was also angry, and her tone was not very good.
"Ruyue and Rushuang came to say goodbye to me, saying that their families had found families for them and they were going to get married soon. They wanted to serve me one last time and then ask for the fifty taels of dowry I promised them.
They cleaned the study and sorted the books as usual. Rushang even made me a cup of my favorite tea.
I underestimated their persistence and thought they were really here to say goodbye. So I just let them do what they wanted, and then I ended up...”
"You must learn this lesson from now on. Women are tigers, do you understand?" Yu Yuanzheng was really impressed by the two maids. At the same time, she was also angry that Shangguan Ziqi was not on guard.
Such a crude plot cannot be recognized.
"Yes, yes, Madam is right. No, Madam is not a tiger, Madam is a celestial being."
"snort."
Men don't understand women's tactics, so it seems that I need to teach them a lesson. I will use the little experience I have learned from reading online literature as a teacher.
"Madam, don't be angry. Be careful that the child will get angry too. From now on, I will be careful and stay away from all women except you and mother."
"If I were a daughter, would you also stay away from me?" Yu Yuanzheng deliberately found loopholes in his words.
"Until my daughter grows up, she is just a child, not a woman." Shangguan Ziqi argued.
"Sophistry." Yu Yuanzheng snapped in anger, amused by his words.
"Madam, are you no longer angry?"
"I'm impressed by you."
Yu Yuanzheng was angry for only a short while.
"Let's go and ask those two women why they are so bold. They had clearly accepted the conditions you offered and were ready to get married. Why did they suddenly change their minds?"
She didn't believe that the two of them would dare to do this for no reason.
"Let's go." Shangguan Ziqi's face suddenly darkened when he mentioned the two maids.
After leaving the study, I came to the side room.
The two maids were tied up and gagged by the guards and thrown inside.
"Wuwu..." When the two maids saw Shangguan Ziqi and Yu Yuanzheng coming in, they struggled to kneel in front of them, making whimpering sounds in their throats.
"Qingfeng, take the cloth out of their mouths." Yu Yuanzheng ordered. She wanted to hear what they said.
"Young Master, Young Madam, we were wrong, we were wrong." The two of them kowtowed and admitted their mistakes.
This time they were really scared.
It would be fine if the plan was successful, but the eldest young master was drugged with such a strong drug that he was able to open them up. Later, he asked someone to notify the eldest young master's wife to come.
We can only blame the eldest son for being such a gentleman and having such great patience.
"Tell me, who instructed you to do this?" Shangguan Ziqi asked coldly.
That majestic aura, like that of a superior.
The two maids were so frightened that they were shaking, but neither of them said a word.
No one instructed them at all.
"What? If you don't tell me, I'll beat you to death with sticks." Shangguan Ziqi threatened.
"Master, please spare us. No one ordered us to do this. We are just wishful thinking. We want to be your concubines, but we are unwilling to do so. We don't want to be slaves for the rest of our lives." Ruyue cried and spoke out her true feelings.
"You were clearly already planning to get married, why did you suddenly change your mind?" Yu Yuanzheng didn't believe Ruyue's words.
She has had this idea for many years, not just one or two days.
It seems far-fetched to say it out loud.
"Why don't you tell the truth?" Shangguan Ziqi narrowed his eyes coldly again.
"It was the two concubines of Beizi who showed off their good life in front of us, and made us jealous. So we took this last gamble." Rushuang was frightened and told the truth.
She doesn't want to die yet. She is only eighteen years old and has a lot of good years ahead of her.
“How do they show off?” Yu Yuanzheng sensed something.
"Now that Concubine Ouzi is pregnant, these two are Ouzi's women besides Concubine Ouzi.
These days, when Ezi comes back every night, the two of them take turns serving her.
Ouzi also gave each of them a valuable pearl hairpin, brought them gifts when he went out, and arranged better positions for their families.
They were no longer allowed to do maid work and only needed to take care of the baby's daily life.
They also said that their husband had promised them that he would make them aunts as long as they had children.
They also said that we followed the eldest master and ended up marrying slaves, which was really not worth it. If it were them, they would have taken the eldest master long ago."
Rushuang repeated everything the concubine had said.
"Oh, so that's how it is. Then where did your medicine come from?" Yu Yuanzheng asked again.
"It was also them who gave us the idea. They said that as long as the matter was settled, the eldest master would definitely accept us. So we went out and bought that medicine." Ruyue said quickly.
Now that it has been brought out, she might as well confess everything. She was afraid that if Rushuang told everything, the eldest master would only punish her and let Rushuang go.
"Where did you buy your medicine?" Yu Yuanzheng asked again.
She didn't quite believe that the two maids could buy it openly in the pharmacy, and pharmacies generally didn't dare to sell this kind of medicine openly.
Once discovered, you will be sued.
"Not long after we left the house, we met a doctor. He approached us and introduced the good things he had, including the medicine, so we bought it.
We were afraid we might have bought a fake product, so we tried it on a cat, and it turned out the cat was actually in heat.”
Rushuang stammered as she finished her words, then lowered her head in shame.
After hearing this, Yu Yuanzheng and Shangguan Ziqi looked at each other and knew what was going on.
This was a trap targeting them as a couple, or rather, it was a trap targeting her.
It was a trap to annoy her.
You don't have to think about who it is.
This plan kills two birds with one stone.
Don't think of anyone else except Yu Chaoyang.
Not only did it annoy me, but it also helped her get rid of the two glares in her eyes.
I don't know what benefits she promised to Shangguan Zishu's two concubines to make them willing to help her do this.
Those two were stupid enough to just be used like that.
"Okay, Qingfeng, inform mother that these two maids will be sold directly, and their families will be sold together." Shangguan Ziqi made the judgment.
The two maids felt relieved that they didn't have to die.
At most I would be scolded by my family when I get home.
"Thank you, Young Master, and thank you, Young Madam." The two expressed their gratitude.
