"Rose, cardamom, ylang-ylang and this tuberose are all commonly used ingredients in spices. They do have the effect of boosting aphrodisiac effects, but..."
After fiddling with them and sniffing them again, the old doctor shook his head:
"However, these spices should have been fumigated with musk, which has the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, relieving pain and menstruation, and is not conducive to women's conception and pregnancy. However, the purple eggplant flowers, especially the buds and persimmon stalks, can be dried into powder and taken with rice wine, which can have a long-term contraceptive effect."
After a pause, the old doctor waved his hand again:
"Although it is placed in a sachet, the powder is extremely fine and it is inevitable that it will be inhaled. It will still affect the body over time. Although this thing has the effect of enhancing sexual desire, it is not conducive to pregnancy. It should not be placed indoors, especially in a closed room."
Her mind went blank for a moment, and Ling Feier's eyes were blurred. She remembered something, and tremblingly took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it over:
"Doctor Duan, could you please help me see what this is?"
"This should be the powder of dried persimmon pedicles with purple eggplant flowers added to it. Although both are taken with rice wine, they have the same effect. However, everything is interdependent, and mixing the two is not necessarily a double insurance. One is enough. Which doctor prescribed this for you? This thing cannot be taken for a long time. Taking it once two days after menstruation can basically prevent pregnancy for one month. The effect can even last for three months or even a year if it is effective. The Crown Prince's wife must stay away from this thing if she has no children yet."
……
I don't remember how I sent the doctor away. When Ling Feier came to her senses again, she was so angry that she was shaking all over, and a chill was coming out of her bones:
Flower buds, flower buds!
She treated her as a relative, but she deceived her into using contraception or even sterilizing her under the guise of adding to the fun, and took advantage of the loophole to seize the initiative?
She really has a calculating and vicious heart.
Grabbing the sachet on the table, she poured out the spices inside, replaced them with some others, and then hung the sachet back on the bedside.
……
Prince's Mansion
Ever since the chance encounter on the night of the Lantern Festival, Yu Hua felt as if his heart had been hollowed out, and he felt inexplicably irritable.
On this day, she was free and inadvertently saw the last camellia in her room, which was already withering. She couldn't help but think of the "Beauty of a Laugh" flower from the Lantern Festival. She called the maid in and asked again:
"Have you heard any news about Xin'er recently? Have you found out her identity?"
Gu Xue lowered her eyes and swallowed unconsciously:
"My queen, the news is still the same. They said they can only chase them to Qicai Tower. No matter how many people there are, they dare not follow them. After all, Master Beitang is not an ordinary person. It will be difficult to deal with him if he is discovered."
"Qicailou? I really don't know why he would fall for that vixen and even give me a gift in public for her..."
And he embarrassed her in public.
Thinking of this, Yu Hua felt like he had swallowed a fly and couldn't let it go.
She almost said it, but she felt it was inappropriate, so she paused and changed her words:
"In the past, his standards were very high, but now that he is no longer a general, his taste has become vulgar. Weiwei is the daughter of the Prime Minister after all, and he slapped her in the face in public. I really don't know if he was targeting the Prime Minister's Mansion on purpose."
In the past, even if the woman was a stranger, he would always try to save her face by politely declining.
this time--
"Your Highness, maybe it's because we are in public that the Master intends to avoid suspicion. No matter how precious it is, it's just a silk flower. How can it be compared with... fame?"
Knowing her master's thoughts very well, Gu Xue could only say against her conscience:
"My Lady, the meaning of that flower is different after all. The Third Miss is of noble status, and she is not you..."
The implication was that if Beitang Yi gave the flower of love to Yu Wei, it would be like a display of love, and their marriage would be difficult to refuse. However, since she was the Crown Princess, it would not be appropriate to give it to her.
On the contrary, it is easier and more free to give it to someone of humble status.
"Yeah, we can't just look at the surface of things."
His thoughts were willingly diverted by her, and soon, a "relieved" smile appeared on Yu Hua's face:
"By the way, what is the prince busy with? Prepare some tea and water, let's go see him!"
Yu Hua stood up and picked up his clothes, not noticing that Gu Xue's expression, which had just relaxed, became tense again.
"What are you still doing?"
"Mother...Mother, His Highness is not in the house. He changed his clothes and went out."
"what?"
After screaming, Yu Hua was really angry:
"What is he busy with now? He is busy every day, busy during holidays, and still busy after holidays. Is the Chiyan Kingdom going to perish? The prince of a country is so busy that he can't even go home every day..."
Do you have a bunch of people under you just to do nothing?
"Your Majesty, be careful with your words."
Frightened by her, Gu Xue first covered her lips, then knelt down and kowtowed:
"My queen, be careful of your words. This is a disrespectful sin that could lead to the extermination of nine clans."
A choke.
Finally, Yu Hua turned around and overturned the tables and chairs angrily.
boom!
After a burst of crackling sounds, Yu Hua collapsed weakly on the couch, biting her lips. The scene of Beitang Yi picking flowers and hugging the woman intimately that night reappeared in her mind, and her heart seemed to be pierced by dense needles again.
The sharp nails pierced into her palms and she closed her eyes.
Not daring to breathe, Gu Xue and the two little maids who were farther away all prostrated themselves on the ground.
There was a depressing silence in the room.
After a moment, Yu Hua slowly stood up and opened his eyes:
"I've been under a lot of pressure lately and just had a headache. It's okay, everyone, get up and clean up."
After instructing the maid to clean up the room quietly, Gu Xue brought the hot tea and carefully handed it to Yu Hua:
"My lady, be careful of the heat."
After taking two sips of the tea leaves, Yu Hua asked again, whether intentionally or unintentionally:
"Do you know what your highness has been busy with recently?"
"The butler said it was about the envoys from Silla. The weather is getting warmer, and it's almost time for them to leave for the court. It might be related to the farewell."
"profound?"
Yu Hua stood up suddenly, but her brows wrinkled slightly, because she suddenly remembered that she had also met the princes and princesses of Silla on the night of the Lantern Festival. They were accompanied by the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince, but she did not see the Crown Prince. However, during the entire New Year holiday, the Crown Prince was almost busy entertaining the envoys from Silla.
This isn't right.
What could make the Crown Prince so busy that he is nowhere to be seen, while the Prince accompanies the envoy to visit the Lantern Festival?
This is totally unacceptable!
At the end of the year, it is reasonable for the prince to take turns to be responsible for reception to show importance. The annual holiday is over and the officials have officially started work, so why is the prince still so busy that he is nowhere to be seen?
Is he hiding something from her?
He had a bad feeling but couldn't quite accept it. His mind was in a state of confusion, but Yu Hua didn't show it on his face this time:
"Gu Xue, go and ask around to see if the itinerary of the Silla envoy has been confirmed? Most importantly, confirm whether there are any outdoor activities in the itinerary."
Beitang Yi is her biggest bargaining chip.
This card must not be thrown away.
