Chapter 347 Lu Guanxuan's Dream Shattered
In the evening, Madam Liu helped Zhen lie down.
She whispered, "Madam, I discovered something today, but I don't know if I should tell you."
Zhen was in a good mood today and still had a smile on her face.
"Between you and me, what's there to be afraid of? Just say whatever you want to say."
Nanny Liu then spoke, "I noticed today that the Third Young Master seems to be treating the Ninth Princess a little differently."
Zhen was stunned for a moment, then slowly reacted.
She sat up straight, a strange light flashing in her eyes.
"What do you mean by that?"
"The Third Young Master is usually a quiet and reserved person, never saying more than a few words to any woman. But today, he was extremely patient in front of the Ninth Princess, and his eyes were full of tenderness when he looked at her. From what I can see, the Third Young Master might have fallen in love with the Ninth Princess."
She had originally guessed that the Third Young Master had someone he liked, and she never thought that she was right.
It took Zhen a long time to react.
Such an idea had also arisen in her mind, but for their third branch, it was nothing but a foolish dream. How could she dare to ask for it?
She gave up the idea and just treated the Ninth Princess as her own daughter, not thinking about it anymore.
As a result, she automatically interpreted Amu's different attitude towards the Ninth Princess as the affection between cousins.
After hearing what Madam Liu said, Zhen suddenly realized that she was in the dark and slowly came to her senses.
Nanny Liu smiled and said, "Although the Ninth Princess is a princess, she has an easygoing personality. She doesn't put on airs with servants like me, and she is extremely respectful to you. It's understandable that our Third Young Master would be attracted to the Ninth Princess."
Zhen's brows were furrowed, and her face seemed worried.
"The Ninth Princess is naturally wonderful, but... she's a princess, and Amu is only the adopted son of the third wife. How can he possibly marry her? I'm just worried that even if he has feelings for her, he won't be able to get what he wants, and he'll be heartbroken for nothing."
The reason why Zhen Shi suppressed the inappropriate thoughts was that she felt that Qi Da was not a good match for them and that they were not qualified for him.
If Amu really falls in love and the marriage fails, it will be another sad experience.
The child looks cold-tempered, but in fact he is very loyal. Once he makes up his mind, it is difficult for him to change it.
Zhen is a sentimental and pessimistic person, and she subconsciously thinks the worst of everything.
Nanny Liu was rather open-minded. She said, "Our young master is not bad either. There are few young men in the capital who are as talented as him. He is more than qualified to be a match for the princess. Please don't look down on the young master."
"What's more, I see that the Ninth Princess seems to be somewhat interested in our young master. If they are in love with each other, this matter will be much easier to handle."
Zhen's mind was disturbed by what she said.
At breakfast the next day, she looked at Sun Muzhi from time to time, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Sun Muzhi put down his chopsticks and asked gently, "Mom, do you have anything to say?"
After some hesitation, Zhen tentatively asked him what he thought of Xiao Baozhu.
Sun Muzhi's expression paused slightly, then he nodded very calmly.
"Yes, my son does have a crush on the Ninth Princess."
After hearing this, Zhen was silent for a while.
Sun Muzhi looked at Zhen and said, "Mother, if I marry the princess, my career in the government won't be very high, and I'm afraid I won't be able to earn an imperial decree for you. Would you mind that?"
"How could that be? Mother never cared about the so-called imperial decree. Your good life is what she truly desires. However, I am of humble status, so I'm afraid I can't help you with this matter."
Sun Muzhi smiled and said, "Who says mother can't help? Mother, all you need to do is invite the princess to your home from time to time. That would be the greatest favor you could give your son."
Zhen realized that her son was trying to take advantage of his proximity to the water.
She nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Sun Muzhi looked down at the snow-white puppy again and gave it a rare good look.
This little thing is also a hero, so let's be nicer to it in the future.
Xiao Baozhu sneezed several times in succession in her Changle Palace. She thought she had caught a cold last night, but she didn't know that the person who had been thinking about her had finally taken action and was waiting for her to fall into his trap.
On this side, Lu Guanxuan, who is about to become Prince Jin's father-in-law, is also busy.
He took two more concubines.
This time, he did not recruit anyone casually from outside. Instead, he recruited girls from respectable families.
They all have very ordinary looks, but they have good physiques and big butts, and you can tell at first glance that they are people who like to have children.
He only had one son, which was too few. He had to hurry up and sow seeds to have more sons as soon as possible.
Seeing this, Fang couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Those two farm girls looked fertile. If they were to get pregnant, it would be troublesome to get rid of the baby.
"No, we must strike first. Madam Wei, go tell my second brother to get me some medicine..."
Only by making it impossible for Lu Guanxuan to have children in this life can Jun'er become the only legitimate son of the Lu family and her position be consolidated.
Lu Guanxuan has been trying hard to have a baby every day recently, just wanting to have a son as soon as possible, but soon his dream was shattered.
While he was working hard on a concubine named Meng, he suddenly felt unwell and almost had a stroke.
Fortunately, the court doctor treated him in time and Lu Guanxuan saved his life, but he was also disabled.
The former court physician Li Rongfa had left the Lu family out of frustration due to a previous misunderstanding, and the current court physician is a new one.
This news was like a bolt from the blue, not only shattering Lu Guanxuan's dignity, but also extinguishing all his hopes.
"How, how is this possible? I don't believe it! It must be that your medical skills are not good enough!"
The court physician looked embarrassed. "According to my diagnosis, the master seems to have taken an excessive amount of aphrodisiacs recently and indulged in excessive sexual activity. This has led to the opposite effect, draining his body. If the master does not trust my medical skills, you can send for the imperial physician to come and treat him."
The court doctor's words made Lu Guanxuan's face turn pale instantly.
He did take a lot of aphrodisiacs during this period. He bought the medicine from an old doctor. It is said that the medicine can not only enhance sexual performance, but also help people have sons.
At that time, a man who had just given birth to a son came to thank the old doctor. When Lu Guanxuan saw him, he bought it for some unknown reason.
The first time he used it, he realized its beauty, and then he became addicted to it.
I used it for seven days in a row, but unexpectedly, it broke out today.
Go and ask for the imperial physician? Lu Guanxuan couldn't afford to lose this person!
Once the imperial physician is invited, the matter will inevitably be exposed and he will never be able to raise his head in the court again.
While Lu Guanxuan asked someone to go outside to invite other doctors, he gave the remaining medicine to the court physician for examination.
The court doctor examined it carefully and finally frowned.
"This medicine contains Cynomorium songaricum and Eucommia bark. It is extremely potent and should be used with caution. Master, you not only used it, but you also failed to control the dosage properly. Even a young and strong man would probably suffer the backlash. Master, you are lucky to be able to save your life."
These words made Lu Guanxuan's heart sink to the bottom again, and his hands and feet couldn't help but feel cold.
Soon, other doctors also came and took Lu Guanxuan's pulse one by one, and finally came to the same conclusion.
Overuse of drugs, coupled with excessive indulgence in sexual activities, has damaged your essence and you will be inhumane for the rest of your life.
