"Bai He, please help my granddaughter take a look and see if she has any symptoms of a cold body that makes it difficult for her to conceive. If so, please prescribe a prescription to help her take good care of herself."
"Okay, big girl, hold out your hand."
Jiang Xinrou stretched out her hand and looked at him nervously, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
"Grandpa Bai, is there anything wrong with my body?"
Bai He shook his head, then nodded with a complicated look in his eyes.
"The young lady's body is not suffering from coldness, but she is having some trouble with offspring. It's because of the musk. There are musk residues in her body. It must be due to long-term exposure to it."
"Come, take off the sachets and bracelets on your body and let me take a look first."
Jiang Xinrou's body stiffened, her eyes full of disbelief.
The old lady said softly, "Xinrou, take off the things on you and let Grandpa Bai take a look. If there is really a problem, you should be more... careful in the future."
"Well, thank you for your help, Grandpa Bai."
She has always been cautious. In order to have a child, she drank bowls of bitter medicine that made her heart ache. How could she possibly come into contact with musk?
This is absolutely impossible!
Bai He opened the sachet, leaned in closer to smell it, and found nothing wrong. He then picked up the bracelet and tapped it gently.
He shook it next to his ear, took out a hairpin, fiddled with the bracelet for a few times, and the lock opened with a click.
Something fell into the teacup, making a crisp sound.
Jiang Xinrou's heart tightened when she saw this. This bracelet inlaid with red jade and gold threads was a token of love given to her by her husband, and she must wear it on her hand every day.
But where did this little pill come from? How come she didn't know before?
I felt a little nervous: "Grandpa Bai, what is this pill?"
Bai He glanced at the old lady, and seeing that she didn't react, he slowly spoke: "It's... a pill made of musk. If worn for a long time, it can cause a woman to be infertile for life."
"I'll take the pill for you now. If you want to have a child, you need to take care of your body first."
"The young lady looks fine now, but after wearing this thing for three years, her Qi and blood have been damaged. She needs to take good care of herself, otherwise if she gets pregnant in a hurry, she might not be able to keep the baby."
Jiang Xinrou felt her mind go blank, her face turned pale, and she couldn't hear what he said at all.
Why, why does the bracelet smell of musk?
Could it be that three years ago, my husband...
If he didn't know, why would he remind her to wear the bracelet every day, and if she didn't wear it one day, he would stare at her with a cold face.
The old lady waved her hand, signaling Doctor Bai to go out first.
"Bai He, don't spread this matter."
"Yes, I understand. Please rest assured, Madam."
Jiang Xinrou took the bracelet, clenched it tightly, and murmured, "Grandma, do you think my husband knows about the medicine hidden in this bracelet?"
The old lady said calmly, "Big girl, you have been raised by your grandmother since you were a child. Although your temperament is a little weak, you are still very smart."
"Whether it's true or not, Grandma believes you have your own judgment. There's no need for Grandma to say more."
"But you must keep this a secret from your husband. The court physician and the imperial physician both say you have a cold constitution. It's hard not to be suspicious with such a consistent statement."
Jiang Xinrou's eyelashes trembled slightly. She closed her eyes and put on the bracelet that had been used to remove the pills with trembling hands, trying hard to control her emotions.
"Grandma, I understand."
The old lady said softly, "Girl, no matter what happens, you must remember that the General's Mansion is your eternal home. You can come back at any time. Don't be afraid of anyone."
"If someone betrays you, don't swallow your anger. You still have the General's Mansion behind you. You are not helpless."
Jiang Xinrou raised her head and looked at her, tears rolling down her eyes. She whispered, "Thank you, grandma. I'll remember this."
She took a deep breath and said softly, "It's getting late. I should go back. I will visit you more often in the future. As for those things, I will slowly find out."
The old lady hummed and said, "Qiuxiang, please see the young lady off."

After Jiang Sheng returned to the room, he slipped directly into the space and began to tinker with the gunpowder. Once he could tinker with it, he would not be afraid of going to the battlefield.
A huge explosion sounded in the space.
Jiang Sheng's head was buzzing with shock. Looking at the huge crater created by the explosion, he couldn't help but smack his lips: "What a powerful thing! If I could use it on the battlefield..."
No, it cannot be used casually. If the emperor finds out, he will probably order people to make it in large quantities, and then the world will be in chaos. But he can use it secretly.
Jiang Sheng held the explosive pack and grinned: "With this thing, even if my martial arts skills are not high, I can protect myself."
"Well, we have to make more in case of emergency. But paper tubes are so powerful. Wouldn't it be better if they were made of iron?"
I thought about the scene in my mind, the iron ball exploded and fragments flew out, the terrifying destructive power was even greater, so I decided to... give it a try.
There are many drawings of hidden weapons in the books in the bamboo house. Now I can only study them secretly. I definitely cannot go to the iron shop, as it is easy for me to be noticed by the emperor.
He spent the whole day tinkering with this, locking himself in the house, waiting to ride to the battlefield early the next morning.
He had no idea that on the other side, the rumor of his being whipped had spread throughout the capital in a short time due to the publicity of those three people, and even the emperor knew about it.
The emperor in the government hall was reviewing memorials. After hearing the spy's words, he paused, a smile flashing in his eyes: "Oh, that's quite interesting."
"I didn't expect the Imperial Sister to dote on Jiang Sheng so much that she was willing to whip him this time. I guess she must have been really pissed off. That kid has always been so naughty, I'm afraid he's going to cause trouble again."
Jinzhong knew what His Majesty was thinking and echoed, "Yes, I heard he's secretly packed his bags. I'm afraid he's going to run away from home and cause trouble again."
Emperor Gan sneered: "He really has the mentality of a child. Compared with his two brothers, he is no ordinary waste."
"Let him go wherever he wants. There's no need to keep an eye on him. If he suffers on the road, he'll naturally return to the capital."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The next day was dawn.
Jiang Sheng took two guards with him, carried a bag on his back, and rode out of the city on horseback.
They didn't dare to delay for even a moment on the road. When they were hungry, they ate dry food. When they were thirsty, they boiled some water and put it in a water bag. This went on for several days in a row, and the two guards could hardly bear it.
The three of them sat down to rest by the river. Qingshan said softly, "Sir, where are you going this time when you run away from home? We've already walked hundreds of kilometers."
"If I don't go back soon, I'm afraid the old lady will be worried if she finds out. Why not go back earlier?"
Jiang Sheng looked calmly, raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said calmly: "No, let's go directly to the Southern Xinjiang military camp. Grandmother beat me this time, I'm going to complain to my father and brother."
Qingshan's mouth twitched when he heard this. Why did he feel that the Third Young Master's words were so perfunctory? It would be too much trouble for someone to run thousands of kilometers to file a complaint.
"But sir, the battlefield is too dangerous. If you really go, I'm afraid the master won't stand up for you and may even punish you."
