Lu Wei explained, "I just wanted to know if there was a way for a pregnant woman to make her pulse appear as if she were experiencing a false pregnancy. It seems there is indeed a way."
Mu Yazhi stood up and hurriedly took the note. She looked at it with surprise and said, "Mother, do you mean that Mu Chenshuang is really pregnant, but she used a dangerous method to make her pulse look like a false pregnancy?"
Lu Wei looked at her and said, "This is just a guess. Since she dares to come back, Mother will have plenty of opportunities to confirm it." As she spoke, a cold glint appeared in her eyes.
"But if that's true, how would she know about this method? Besides, the Prince of Xiaoyao took her pulse a few days in advance and said it wasn't a pregnancy pulse."
At this point, Mu Yazhi suddenly realized something, and her face instantly darkened. "Could it be that the Prince of Xiaoyao knew about it, but simply kept it from Mu Chenshuang?"
"Whether that's true or not, we'll only know after we verify it." As she spoke, Lu Wei looked at Mu Yazhi, gently stroking Mu Yazhi's cheek that had been slapped, her eyes full of heartache.
"I will make her pay for today's humiliation tenfold. So Ya'er, you must stay calm. Even if she has the status of a princess now, everything in the Marquis's mansion will belong to you three siblings in the future. You will definitely be the most watched people in the whole capital."
Upon hearing Lu Wei's words, Mu Yazhi's anger subsided considerably, and a smile bloomed on her lips as she took Lu Wei's arm, saying, "It's good to have a mother."
Suddenly remembering something, she said, "I clearly saw her drink the soup I gave her that day, so why didn't she react at all? Could it be that her poison has been neutralized?"
"At that time, she may not have been cured of the poison, but she must have obtained the Dragon Blood Ginseng. She has no internal energy now, but she was able to evade the tight guards and the Imperial Guards' search. I really underestimated her. With the Dragon Blood Ginseng, it's only a matter of time before she is cured."
Mu Yazhi immediately became excited and said excitedly, "Then we must let the Court of Justice investigate. Wouldn't that be the chance for us to find evidence that Mu Chenshuang stole the Dragon Blood Ginseng?"
Lu Wei's eyes darkened, and he said, "Yesterday, Fu Junheng said those words in front of His Majesty. Today, Consort Rong did not stop the divorce decree. Since he was able to get His Majesty to issue the decree, I suppose the Dragon Blood Ginseng matter will only result in a scapegoat in the end."
Mu Yazhi stomped her feet in anger, saying furiously, "Are we really going to let this go like this? Does Crown Prince Junheng really have to help that bitch like this? What's so good about her anyway!"
"Even if they find nothing out, Mother won't let her get away with it. Okay, don't be angry."
Mu Yazhi nodded.
Lu Wei then said, "Hurry up and pack it up. It's just a courtyard. Everything she has will be yours in the future. There's no need to be angry now. Let the outsiders see how this young lady bullies her sister."
Mu Yazhi immediately understood. "I understand."
That night.
After Linglong finished brewing the medicine, she brought it to the room. After Mu Chenshuang drank it, she pulled Linglong to sit down next to her and whispered, "Linglong, there's something I think I should make clear to you."
Linglong said earnestly, "If Miss is willing to tell me, Linglong will definitely keep the secret and will never utter a word, even if it means death."
Mu Chenshuang smiled faintly, reached out and took her hand, and said with relief, "Now that you are by my side, I feel much more at ease. Although we have returned to the Marquis's mansion, it is already under Lu Wei's control, so we must be cautious in our actions from now on."
"This servant understands."
"What I need to tell you is that I am indeed pregnant."
Upon hearing this, Linglong was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses. She glanced around and lowered her voice, saying, "Miss, how could this be?"
She felt extremely frightened when she thought about yesterday's birthday banquet.
“A month ago, Mu Yazhi took me to Wangyue Tower. That night, I had sex with a man, but I don’t know who he is. Mu Yazhi and the others don’t know either. They thought I had escaped a disaster, so they absolutely cannot know about this. From now on, you must personally take care of my food, clothing and daily necessities. You absolutely cannot let anyone else touch them.”
Linglong nodded, "This servant will be careful and will not let anything happen to Miss."
"I believe you. It's getting late. You should go and rest so we can deal with what's coming next."
After setting up the brazier, Linglong left the room.
Mu Chenshuang leaned back on the bed, closed her eyes, and emptied her mind, silently calling out, "Sui Sui!"
Sudden.
Mu Chenshuang's vision went blank, then a ginseng root floated before her eyes, and the next second, it flashed in front of her.
"Owner."
Mu Chenshuang looked at it and smiled, "How do you feel now?"
"I feel much better inside Master's body. After I rest for two or three days, I will be able to detoxify Master. But Master, you are pregnant."
Mu Chenshuang hummed in agreement. "So you must help me detoxify as soon as possible."
"No problem, once my spiritual power recovers, I will definitely heal my master."
"Sui Sui, do you have any way to open up the space and find an antidote that counters the Netherworld Flower?"
The poison that Fu Junheng was afflicted with was caused by the Netherworld Flower.
The Netherworld Flower is a rare poisonous flower with extremely heavy Yin energy. It grows in places filled with poisonous miasma and is irrigated with black water. It is extremely sinister and colorless and odorless.
Once poisoned, it won't be fatal immediately, but will accompany your body for years, gradually causing complications. The longer it goes on, the more painful it will become, and you will become neither human nor ghost.
If her guess was correct, Fu Junheng's mother probably died after giving birth to him, and her death must have been extremely tragic.
Fu Junheng's pulse indicated that he had grown up in a world of medicine. A powerful internal force flowed through his body, temporarily suppressing the complications caused by the toxins. However, this was not a long-term solution. If the toxins remained in his body for a long time, he would go blind in the future, even though he was currently afraid of sunlight.
His silver hair was probably also an effect of the Netherworld Flower.
The most troublesome thing is that this is something he was born with; the toxins have been in his body since childhood, and it is very difficult to completely remove them.
