Chapter 123 An Absurd World
Qin Jinzhi pinched Feiyan's little face.
"What do you think is most important for a royal bride?"
Feiyan crossed one arm and placed her thumb and forefinger on her chin with the other.
He narrowed his eyes. "I know! It's the background!"
Qin Jinzhi smiled in surprise and said, "How come you know so much in just a few days?"
Feiyan waited smugly for Qin Jinzhi to praise her.
Qin Jinzhi put her arm around her shoulder, "But that's something you only need to consider before you marry into the royal family. For those who have already married in, the most important thing is, of course, the imperial heir."
Feiyan suddenly realized, "Oh! The Second Prince's wife and the Second Prince have been married for many years but have no grandson, so she wants Yiyi to give her a child!"
Qin Jinzhi hissed. Something about what she said didn't sound right, but it didn't make any sense either.
Feiyan turned around and asked, "Then why doesn't the princess just have Yiyi take the Second Prince's pulse? That way, the Second Prince's wife would owe you a favor!"
Qin Jinzhi and Feiyan laughed out loud, "My Feiyan has really grown up. She even knows how to accept favors now. But this princess just loves it when people ask me for favors."
Upon hearing this, Fei Yan's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "The Princess is mighty!"
Offspring are the most important element of a family, whether they are commoners or royalty.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be the saying, "Of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is to have no offspring."
Having difficulty conceiving means that women will suffer mistreatment and disdain in their husband's family.
Having a child is clearly a matter for both people, so I don't know why the blame is being placed on the woman.
However, Qin Jinzhi had investigated and found that the Second Prince and his wife had been married for many years without having any children. Consort De did not seek out famous doctors for her daughter-in-law like other mothers-in-law. She disliked the Second Prince's wife more because of her background.
The second prince has already begun to compete for the throne, and having no heir is his top priority.
However, both of them reacted indifferently to the matter.
There is only one possibility: Consort De was also aware that the Second Prince's wife had no children.
Once Liu Yiyi has examined the Second Prince's wife's pulse, everything will become clear.
Qin Jinzhi had anticipated that the Second Prince's wife would take the initiative to seek medical treatment today.
This world is strange.
A good person can do a hundred good deeds, but if they do just one bad thing, they will be labeled as a bad person. On the other hand, an evil person can do a hundred evil deeds, but if they do just one good deed, they will be praised as a prodigal son who has turned over a new leaf.
The saying "lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot" is utter nonsense.
However, Qin Jinzhi liked such pedantic remarks, which made it easy for her to achieve her goals.
After all, in other people's eyes, she was a complete villain.
She only needs to show a smile, and people will automatically defend her in their hearts.
See, she's actually a good person.
Absurd, funny.
The Empress then summoned the Imperial Kitchen to prepare the meal.
Liu Yiyi and the Second Prince's Consort came out of the back room.
The Second Prince's wife's expression remained unchanged, but her slightly red eyes and somewhat unsteady steps betrayed her panic.
Qin Jinzhi lay on the swing in the yard, a smile playing on her lips as she closed her eyes.
You guessed right.
By the time of the meal, the Second Prince's wife had returned to normal.
He stood aside and served food to the Empress and Consort De.
Consort De was satisfied with her respect.
This kind of submissiveness is something that other noble ladies cannot enjoy.
The Empress did not tell the Second Prince's wife to rest; she did not interfere in matters between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Qin Jinzhi, on the other hand, was eating heartily while holding her little food bowl.
After lunch, Consort De and the Second Prince's wife took their leave.
Liu Yiyi pulled Qin Jinzhi aside and whispered excitedly, "Guess what I discovered today while examining the Second Prince's Consort's pulse! A shocking secret!"
Qin Jinzhi turned her head to look at her, "Was she given a drug that would prevent her from having children?"
Liu Yiyi immediately stopped smiling. "How did you know?"
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow. "Otherwise, why would I need you to take her pulse? Do you think I'm that kind?"
As soon as Liu Yiyi turned her head, she knew it! Qin Jinzhi was being way too easy to talk to today!
She thought she had changed her personality!
Sure enough, something fishy must be going on!
However, Liu Yiyi still said:
"To be honest, the person who drugged her was quite ruthless."
That infertility drug severely damages a woman's body. Although it may not be visible on her pulse, a woman who takes this drug will not only be unable to conceive, but will also suffer from a shortened lifespan.
I just checked her pulse. If she hadn't met me, she would have died silently within a year at most.
Upon hearing this, Qin Jinzhi's face was full of sarcasm. The Second Prince's plan was truly ingenious.
Everything is just right.
Can it be cured?
Liu Yiyi shook her head. "If she had met me two years earlier, there might have been a chance to save her, but her body is already on its last legs. I can only extend her life by a year at most."
Qin Jinzhi nodded after hearing this, saying that it was enough.
"Is Lark's voice still not cured?"
Liu Yiyi said with some regret, "I don't know who researched this Azure Poison! I've tried so many times, but Yun Que's throat doesn't react at all."
Qin Jinzhi patted her shoulder, "This Azure Poison has been around for over a hundred years, don't rush, take your time."
Liu Yiyi nodded, "Don't worry, I will heal Yun Que's voice as soon as possible."
Healing Yun Que's throat will bring us closer to curing the Azure Poison in Qin Jinzhi's body.
Qin Jinzhi left the palace and returned to her residence, where she spent the next three days.
Chidori Temple was overcrowded; everywhere you went, there were people taking the test.
However, when Qin Jinzhi arrived at Qianniao Temple that day, a figure peeked inside from the entrance.
The man turned around upon hearing the sound of hooves, and a look of joy immediately spread across his face when he saw who it was.
"Princess!"
Qin Jinzhi looked at the woman in front of her and felt that she looked somewhat familiar.
After a while, she spoke, "Zheng Qi?"
Miss Zheng nodded hurriedly, like a chick pecking at rice.
That day, I went to the Zheng residence at night. Zheng Qi was dressed like a female ghost, which was completely incompatible with the bright and cheerful young girl in front of me.
Zheng Qi looked at Qin Jinzhi with some hesitation.
Princess Jinzhi is capricious; she doesn't know if coming here to see her will anger her.
But it was something she had to do, so she decided to take a gamble.
After waiting for three days, I finally met Qin Jinzhi.
Qin Jinzhi dismounted. "I was just about to come find you these past few days. Come in with me."
Zheng Qi's face lit up with joy; the princess had said she would see her in a few days.
The princess saw her newly written storybook!
So, all the princess's favors...
Zheng Qi quickly followed Qin Jinzhi's footsteps.
The Chidori Division was packed with people, so no one paid any attention to Zheng Qi's arrival.
The two arrived at Qin Jinzhi's study.
Zheng Qi asked cautiously, "Princess, are you satisfied with the new storybook I wrote?"
Qin Jinzhi nodded. "Very good."
Zheng Qi is quite talented; his writing is excellent.
The rewritten story caused a sensation in the capital, making the Peach Blossom Heroine famous.
Zheng Qi felt much relieved, then asked more cautiously, "What about the favor you mentioned, Princess?"
Qin Jinzhi looked at her, "This princess keeps her word. Tell me, what do you want?"
Zheng Qi immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Please, Your Highness, collect Zheng Qi's body in three days!"
