Chapter 821: Sterilizing Medicine
Chenyuan.
Luo Qiong sat in front of the window, stroking her belly with a gentle look on her face.
She originally thought that her love for that man would be buried deep in her heart forever, but she never expected that God would take pity on her and let them meet again.
Thinking of the child in her belly with her beloved, hope grew in Luo Qiong's eyes. She finally didn't have to continue living a boring life.
Just then, there was a noise coming from the direction of the clean room.
Luo Qiong looked up and saw Xueling coming out with Xueqiao, who had just finished taking a shower.
Looking at Xueqiao's pale face, Luo Qiong lowered his eyes, then raised his hand to let her sit down: "I asked you to serve me last night. Did I notice anything unusual?"
Xue Qiao lowered her head, bit her lips and shook her head.
Seeing this, Luo Qiong smiled slightly. "That's good." Then, he glanced at Xue Qiao and took her hand. "I know I wronged you a little bit about what happened last night, but you and Xue Ling are the only two people I can trust."
"Your body shape is similar to mine. Only if you take my place will I not notice anything is wrong."
Xue Qiao shook her head again, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "This servant has no grievances. It is a blessing for this servant to be able to share the young lady's worries."
Luo Qiong looked satisfied and looked at Xueling: "Help Xueqiao go back to the house to rest. She has to come back to continue serving Master tonight."
Upon hearing this, Xue Qiao's body stiffened suddenly.
Xueling noticed that Xueqiao was acting strangely and quickly helped her out of the house.
Xue Qiao returned to her room and lay on the bed like a deflated ball, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes.
Seeing her like this, Xue Qiao felt heartbroken but also relieved.
Fortunately, the person with a similar body shape to the girl was not her.
She and Xue Qiao grew up in the Duke's Mansion and had seen many fights between wives and concubines. Therefore, she had never thought of becoming a concubine to her brother-in-law. She only thought that if she served the girl well, she would be able to marry a better servant in the future.
Unfortunately, Xue Qiao may not be able to fulfill this wish now.
Pingxi Hall.
Xiao Yechen returned to Luo Qiong's house to rest, and Pingji's wife told Daohua immediately.
Daohua learned that it was Luo Qiong who took the initiative to seek peace with Xiao Yechen, and even lowered himself to block him for this. She couldn't help but frown, always feeling that there was something wrong.
"Keep watching."
After that, Daohua went to Pingxitang more often, either to bring food to Prince Ping or to pay her respects to him.
As a result, I saw Luo Qiong more often.
On the fourth day of April, Daohua arrived just in time for dinner. Prince Ping asked her to sit down and eat with him, and she immediately agreed.
At the dinner table, Daohua noticed that Luo Qiong's face had become a lot rounder and her appetite had also increased. Her eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
"Second sister-in-law, is there something on my face? Why do you keep looking at me?"
Luo Qiong noticed Daohua's gaze and asked with a smile.
Daohua smiled casually and said, "I noticed that the maid behind my sister-in-law looked unfamiliar, so I took a closer look. I didn't expect that you would notice it."
Daohua said casually, but Luo Qiong paused while picking up the food. Seeing Princess Ma looking over, she smiled and explained, "Xueqiao has been feeling unwell recently, so she sent a second-class maid up."
Princess Ma nodded after hearing this and didn't ask any more questions.
Her son has been staying in his daughter-in-law's room these days, so she is willing to give her some more face.
Luo Qiong calmed Princess Ma down, then looked up at Daohua. After a moment's thought, she smiled and said tentatively, "I didn't expect my second brother's wife to be so concerned about the people around me."
Daohua smiled and didn't deny it at all: "Of course I have to pay more attention to the maidservant beside my sister-in-law. Not only yours, but also the others in the family. I will pay more attention to them. After all, the maidservant is in charge of all matters around the master."
"If I don't know them, and someone finds me tomorrow, I won't know who is who. Isn't that a joke? Don't you know the maidservants beside me?"
Luo Qiong smiled and didn't respond.
She didn't say anything, and Daohua ignored her and continued to discuss with Prince Heping about going to Four Seasons Villa to appreciate the flowers.
Princess Ma didn't want Prince Ping to have much contact with Xiao Yeyang and his wife. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly looked at Luo Qiong and said, "Didn't you get a new pot of tribute flowers a few days ago? Bring it over to your father and let him see it."
Prince Ping immediately became interested: "What tribute flowers?"
Princess Ma immediately said, "Didn't the Red Barbarians pay tribute to the Emperor with their national flower two years ago? I wonder where the Duke of Wei got it from, but it's quite beautiful."
Prince Ping remembered: "You mean tulips?"
Princess Ma nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, it's tulips."
Prince Ping couldn't help but look at Luo Qiong.
Although Luo Qiong was extremely reluctant, he had to let Xueling go back to get the flowers.
Chenyuan.
Xue Qiao was lying on the bed resting. When she heard Xue Ling's voice in the yard, she supported her aching body and got out of bed. As soon as she reached the door, she saw Xue Ling carrying the pot of flowers that Luo Qiong had brought back from the Weiguo Mansion and walking out of the yard.
Seeing this, Xue Qiao was shocked and ran out of the room quickly, wanting to get the flowers back, but when she reached the gate of the courtyard, she slowly stopped.
"The medicine residue has been poured in for several days, it should be fine."
That pot of flowers is the girl's favorite. Since she brought it back, she has been admiring it for a long time every day.
Out of revenge against the girl and out of dissatisfaction with the girl for sending her to her brother-in-law's bed, she poured the residue of the abortion medicine into the flowerpot, with the intention of killing the flower.
Sterilizing medicine.
She originally thought that the girl had been cruel enough to her, but unexpectedly, she was even crueler to her brother-in-law and directly gave him a contraceptive drug!
Whenever she thought of this, Xue Qiao couldn't help but feel cold all over.
Pingxi Hall.
After Xueling brought the flowers over, Daohua followed Prince Ping and took the opportunity to admire them.
At first, Daohua didn't care much, but when she got closer to the flowerpot, a faint smell of medicine penetrated her nose.
Daohua was particularly sensitive to the smell of medicine and instinctively knew that this was not a good medicine. While everyone's attention was on the flowers, she whispered to Meiju who had followed her, "Let's find out what medicine was poured into the flowerpot."
Mei Ju nodded, and when Prince Ping finished admiring it, Xue Ling quickly followed him when she returned to Chenyuan with the flowerpot in her arms.
Half an hour later, Daohua returned to Pingxi Hall. Not long after she sat down, Meiju came back.
Daohua immediately looked over and asked, "How is it? Have you found out?"
Mei Ju took off the pouch from her waist, which was filled with soil from the flowerpot. "Young Madam, the medicine in the flowerpot should be a sterilizing medicine."
Daohua's eyelids twitched. She took the purse and sniffed it carefully, then looked at Meiju suspiciously: "How can you tell what medicine it is just by smelling it?"
Mei Ju: "Others may not work, but I have learned about the secret medicines of the harem. I know the smell of the sterilization medicine."
The rice flowers suddenly fell silent.
Wang Man'er listened from the side and couldn't help but ask: "Did someone give Grandma a sterilizing drug?"
Daohua narrowed her eyes and said, "That's not certain. Maybe Grandma gave someone a sterilizing drug."
Wang Man'er's eyes widened: "Who would Grandma give the infertility drug?"
