A maid was so frightened that she was trembling. "Don't worry, Sister Cuiwei, I will never say anything. I will just quietly call the craftsman."
"There's no need to be so scared. Go ahead."
They both bowed and said, "Yes."
The two left together, and one of the braver maids asked, "Sister Hongdou, this afternoon, when we were sweeping the yard, we heard the sound of breaking glass. It must be the mirror in the lady's room that broke, right?"
Hongdou was a bit more timid, "I think so."
"I just don't know why the mirror in Madam's room suddenly shattered. Eh... you said, we were cleaning the outer room today, and we didn't hear any strange noises."
Hongdou wiped the sweat from her forehead. Even though the weather was no longer hot, she still broke out in a cold sweat. "Maybe the mirror was of poor quality and suddenly broke."
"This isn't something we should worry about. Once you get to the second gate, go get the doctor. Remember, don't talk nonsense, just bring Doctor Li."
"good."
…
Doctor Li from Yulu Hall was the doctor who met Lu Feng last time when Cuiwei was making contraceptive medicine for Su Qian and lied to him that he had a good relationship with Su Qian.
The reason I invited him here this time was also to cover up the lie.
"Madam, Doctor Li from Yulutang has arrived to take your pulse."
Su Qian sorted out his thoughts and said, "Let him in."
Doctor Li: "Madam, are you well? Let me check your pulse first."
Su Qian: "Thank you for your help."
Doctor Li placed his handkerchief on Su Qian's wrist, and then carefully took her pulse. He seemed to have felt something unusual. He let out a "hiss" and looked at Su Qian in surprise.
Su Qian felt something strange, "What's wrong?"
Doctor Li glanced at Cuiwei and Lu Feng who were standing guard nearby, and regained his usual composure. "Madam, you seem to be fine."
"It's just... she seems to be quite frightened. I see that Madam looks a little dazed. Could it be that she's been overly worried and nervous these days, coupled with the shock she's experienced?"
Su Qian nodded, "Exactly, the doctor has a good eye."
"Madam, you are not in good spirits and are frightened. I have a prescription here. Take it every day after meals. It will be of some benefit. However... don't overthink or feel sad in the future, otherwise you will feel chest tightness and depression, and your heart fire will be difficult to dissipate. This will not be good for your health."
"Thank you for your advice, doctor. I'll take note of it."
Doctor Li nodded as he wrote the list. "You should eat a lighter diet these days. Avoid spicy or irritating foods. Get enough rest. You can take a walk after meals and move around more."
Doctor Li handed the list to Cuiwei and said, "Could you two ladies wait outside the hall for a moment? I have something to tell Madam."
Lu Feng looked at him expressionlessly, while Cuiwei was a little at a loss, and both of them did not move.
"Cuiwei, Lufeng, you two should go out first and wait outside."
Lu Feng followed Su Qian's instructions and went out with a cold face.
Cuiwei hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."
Doctor Li was a little puzzled, so Su Qian smiled and explained to him, "Something happened to me a few days ago. Someone drugged me and almost killed me. That's why the two of them kept a closer eye on me, for my safety."
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, doctor."
After hearing Su Qian's explanation, Doctor Li understood. "So Madam is worried and afraid because of this matter. That makes sense."
He was just wondering what could have caused the noble and precious wife of Prince Yan to worry so much. It turned out that she was still in shock from the assassination she had suffered a few days ago.
"Madam, I asked the two girls to leave just now because I wanted to remind them of something..."
Doctor Li lowered his voice quietly, speaking in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Is Madam taking contraceptive medicine?"
Su Qian was stunned. She had actually forgotten about this. She was so focused on Lu Huan that she had forgotten that she had been taking contraceptive pills these days. She had actually forgotten about this and actually asked Cuiwei to invite a doctor to take her pulse.
Wouldn't you know everything just by taking the pulse?
Doctor Li saw her dazed look, as if she hadn't thought of a proper explanation yet. He sighed and warned her, "I'm also concerned about Madam's health. This contraceptive medicine is too cold. If you take it for a long time, I'm afraid it will affect Madam's health."
"For the sake of your health, Madam, it would be best if you don't use this recipe."
Su Qian recalled that although she remembered the prescription, the dosage and certain medicinal ingredients used in the prescription were all based on other people's constitutions and might not be suitable for her constitution.
She changed her mind and thought that Doctor Li was a kind-hearted man, otherwise he would not have taken the risk to instruct her on this matter.
"Since you have seen it, I will not hide it."
"As you said, sir, I have indeed been taking contraceptive pills recently. I only wrote down the recipe when I was secretly looking at it, and I know it may not be suitable for my body type. However... I had no choice."
After hearing her words, Doctor Li was a little surprised.
Everyone in Zhiyi City said that His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan loved his wife very much. They held a grand wedding ceremony that day and walked around Zhiyi City. There were more than a hundred boxes of betrothal gifts, which was so grand and luxurious.
I didn’t expect that the wife of Prince Yan was secretly using contraception.
Could it be that their relationship wasn't good? Or was this lady forced into this?
He didn't dare to think further. Knowing too much about the secrets of the upper class would be of no benefit to him.
Su Qian continued, "Sir, I am grateful for your kindness in reminding me. But... I still have something I want to ask you."
Doctor Li paused, "Could it be that... Madam is referring to?"
Su Qian: "That's right, sir. I would like to ask you to prescribe me a contraceptive prescription that suits my body constitution and has fewer side effects. It would be best if... it has no effect on my body."
Doctor Li frowned, looking extremely embarrassed.
"I understand your dilemma, sir, and I don't want to embarrass you. But since you've mentioned this, I have no choice but to ask you for help."
"Sir, you are so kind and skillful that you saw this when you first felt my pulse. Yet, you even asked my two maids to wait outside. This was to both take care of my health and the situation, and not put me in a difficult position."
"Su Qian thanks you, sir. Please help me."
Perhaps it was because of the pleading look in Su Qian's eyes that he gradually began to waver.
His original intention was just to kindly remind her, but he didn't expect that she didn't want to have the child of His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan.
In addition, she thought of the previous assassination attempt, which made her feel bad and unhappy. If she continued to take this contraceptive medicine frequently, it would be difficult for her to get pregnant in the future.
Seeing his expression soften, Su Qian knew there was still room for negotiation. "Don't worry, sir. Even if this matter is discovered in the future, even if someone holds a knife to my neck, I will never reveal a single word to you!"
