Chapter 461 Fertility Pills
After Nanny Wu came out of the princess's courtyard, she did not stop for a moment and went straight to the courtyard where Xie Dan lived.
At that time, Xie Dan was sitting alone in the room, with tea sets on the table. He held the pot in his hand and slowly poured tea for himself. The light in the room was not bright, and the flickering candlelight reflected on his face, making his eyes reveal a bit of unspeakable gloom. Looking back on the past, he was highly respected in the palace for his superb medical skills. Wherever he went, he was the focus of everyone's attention. He was the most popular doctor in the palace.
"Oh, isn't this the doctor from the Xie Mansion? This place used to be very lively, why is it so deserted today?" Nanny Wu stepped into the room, leaned over slightly, and looked Xie Dan up and down with pretended familiarity. Her tone was full of provocation, mixed with a hint of uncontrollable pride.
When Xie Dan heard this, he was shocked. However, having worked in the palace for many years, his expression did not change at all. He was still as cold as ice and said coldly: "What are you doing here? If it's nothing important, please leave." He knew clearly in his mind that Nanny Wu's sudden visit could not be accidental. It must be the order of the eldest princess.
"The princess sent me to ask, Cui Xi, have you moved?" Nanny Wu asked. It was clearly a sunny afternoon, but her words were like a sharp blade, cutting through the air and piercing straight at Xie Dan, making his heart suddenly tighten.
"Do you know whether I have touched Cui Xi or not?" Xie Dan asked with a sneer on his face. He was secretly proud of himself and his tone became colder and colder, like the frost and snow in the cold winter. "You usually treasure those maids around you like your own eyes. How dare I touch them?"
As he finished speaking, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred to Xie Dan's mind, and he instantly understood the real intention behind Cui Xi's being promoted to a concubine. He thought about it and quietly took out a small bottle from his arms, with a rather mysterious look on his face. There was a hint of insidiousness in the smile on his lips, and he said, "This, take it after sex, it can greatly increase the chances of pregnancy!"
Upon hearing this, Nanny Wu was slightly stunned. After her eyes stayed on the small bottle for a moment, she reached out to take the pill, turned around and hurriedly walked towards the eldest princess' courtyard.
Nanny Wu hurried back to the courtyard where the eldest princess lived.
"Your Highness." Nanny Wu held up the brocade box with both hands as if she were holding up a rare treasure. Her voice was full of humility and respect as she said, "Thank you, Lord Dan, for instructing us to take this pill after sex. It is very helpful for women to get pregnant."
As Nanny Wu spoke, she raised her eyes calmly and secretly glanced at the eldest princess's expression. There was a hint of inquiry in her eyes, and she hesitated to say, "Your Highness, look, should we ..."
The eldest princess was leaning lazily on the couch, gently waving an exquisite round fan in her hand.
Hearing what Madam Wu said, the princess slowly turned her head and her eyes slowly fell on the brocade box. In an instant, an elusive light flashed in her eyes, "If I keep this item here, it won't be of any use."
The princess spoke, her voice clear and pleasant, yet faintly cold and distant, "Send it to Yu Lingxiu."
"Master!" Upon hearing this, Nanny Wu's eyes widened and her face was instantly filled with surprise. She had never expected that the eldest princess would make such an arrangement.
After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but ask, "Miss Yu has already lost her fertility. Giving her such a precious fertility pill, isn't it a waste of such a good thing?"
The eldest princess raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, but in the eyes of Nanny Wu, this smile was like the cold wind in the twelfth lunar month, icy and chilling, making people shudder.
"She made a private deal with Cui Xi, just based on a few empty words. How loyal do you think Cui Xi can be to her?" The eldest princess' voice came slowly, as if with a wisdom that saw through everything.
When Nanny Wu heard this, she was startled and subconsciously lowered her head. She didn't dare to look the princess in the eye anymore, and naturally didn't answer.
She knew very well that the eldest princess was a deep-minded person, and her thoughts and ideas were far beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
The princess did not seem to expect Nanny Wu to give any answer. She just waved the round fan in her hand and continued, "Give the things to Yu Lingxiu. As for when she will give the pill to Cuixi, it all depends on her own plan."
Nanny Wu frowned slightly, still a little puzzled, and couldn't help asking again: "But what if Miss Yu doesn't want to give the pills to Cui Xi?"
"Humph!" The princess sneered, her tone full of disdain, "Since Xie Dan can come up with one fertility pill, he can naturally come up with a second one. He is not that useless."
When Nanny Wu heard what the eldest princess said, she immediately understood what she meant and knew that the eldest princess was planning to continue using Xie Dan to do things for her.
Her heart trembled slightly, and she dared not say another word, but just replied respectfully "yes".
Then he carefully held the brocade box, turned around and slowly retreated.
Nanny Wu walked through the winding corridors, around the rippling lotus pond, and came to the courtyard where Yu Lingxiu lived.
When Nanny Wu walked into the room, Yu Lingxiu was sitting by the window, looking out bored.
Seeing Aunt Wu coming in, Yu Lingxiu quickly stood up to greet her. "Aunt Wu, why are you here?"
Yu Lingxiu had a faint smile on her face and her tone was a little polite.
Nanny Wu placed the brocade box on the table and said calmly, "Miss Yu, the eldest princess asked me to bring this to you."
As she spoke, she opened the brocade box, revealing the fertility pills inside.
The moment Yu Lingxiu saw the pill, the smile on her face suddenly froze, and in an instant, it was completely replaced by surging anger.
"What on earth does this mean?" Yu Lingxiu's voice trembled slightly as she questioned, "The princess clearly knew that I had lost my fertility, but she still sent me this fertility pill. Is she deliberately trying to humiliate me?"
Nanny Wu didn't dare to disobey the princess's order, so she had to bite the bullet and explain, "Miss Yu, the princess means that you can decide for yourself when to hand over the pill to Cui Xi."
Hearing this, Yu Lingxiu was shocked. The agreement she reached with Cui Xi was extremely secretive and she had never revealed it to the princess. How did the princess know about it?
Could it be that Cui Xi told the princess herself?
But Yu Lingxiu thought about it for a moment and rejected this idea. She immediately realized that the eldest princess must have secretly sent people to closely monitor their every move.
