Chapter 245: Concealed Kindness
Pei Xue had only been married to the third prince for about half a year, so it was normal for her not to get pregnant. However, there was a betrayal by the maid, so she should be more careful. Chen Xiuyan stretched out her hand to take Pei Xue's pulse carefully.
"Judging from the pulse, he is in good health and there is nothing wrong with him." Chen Xiuyan replied truthfully, "Don't worry, why don't I go to your room to check. Some medicines will not be harmful even if they are eaten or smelled as long as the frequency is not high.
body, but it may make it difficult to get pregnant.”
Pei Xue immediately led Chen Xiuyan to her house. As soon as Chen Xiuyan entered, she smelled a faint fragrance, which was the smell left after burning incense.
Chen Xiuyan looked at every corner of the room carefully, and there was no problem. "Show me all the incense burned in the room."
Pei Xue smiled and went to get it without forgetting to explain, "There will be no problem with the incense. It was a gift from the imperial concubine. There is a nanny next to the imperial concubine who is good at making incense. She is the imperial concubine's confidant and is also knowledgeable in pharmacology. The imperial concubine and Yan
My brother's health is getting better and better because of the fragrance, mainly because he sleeps better after smelling it."
The third prince is the only son of the imperial concubine. Of course, it is impossible for her own mother to harm her son. However, if Chen Xiuyan smells it right, the fragrance is mixed with musk. This is because she has a keen nose and the smell is very light and almost inaudible. But wait for Chen Xiuyan to take it.
When I got to Xiangwan, this was confirmed.
The unlit musk smell is stronger, but this smell is well covered by other floral scents. It is easy to ignore if you don't smell it carefully. Of course, this fragrant pill is not bad, on the contrary, it is very good.
"This fragrant pill can soothe the mind and regulate the body. It can also clear the complexion after being smelled for a long time. It is a rare treasure." Chen Xiuyan praised the fragrant pill while holding it.
"Yes, the imperial concubine has many good fragrant pills, as well as beauty pills, and the empress also gave me a few pills." Pei Xue said happily.
Chen Xiuyan looked up at Pei Xue and felt a little sad, but she still told the truth, "The fragrant pill is good, but it also has another function, and that is contraception."
Pei Xue's smiling face froze instantly, and she looked at Chen Xiuyan in disbelief.
"Of course, this contraceptive effect does no harm to the body and is gentler than the Bizi Decoction." Chen Xiuyan explained, "As long as you stop the fragrant pills, you will be fine."
"But I don't know whether this fragrant pill was the idea of the imperial concubine or the nun beside her." Chen Xiuyan said seriously, "The maid next to you can rebel, but the one beside the imperial concubine can't say the same.
allow."
This is the best result that Chen Xiuyan thought of, because if it was the imperial concubine's intention, it would be very harmful to Pei Xue.
"I see that the backyard is very quiet. Does the Third Prince have another woman?" Chen Xiuyan asked bluntly.
Pei Xue suddenly turned pale and shook her head, "Brother Yan only has me, but the imperial concubine has secretly revealed that she wanted brother Yan to have a concubine, but brother Yan refused."
"Compared with the second prince's concubine, my Pei family's family status is not low, but both my parents are dead, and the second prince's concubine's parents are still alive, and one is powerful and the other is rich." Pei Xue actually understands, especially the current situation.
It's a bit nervous, and it's a bit disadvantageous for the third prince.
"I remember this incense. It seems that the imperial concubine gave it to me after Brother Yan refused."
"Is the Second Princess pregnant?" Chen Xiuyan asked.
"I have, but I can't keep it." Pei Xueru sat down on the chair and replied, "The imperial doctor said that it will take half a year to treat her before she can get pregnant again."
Chen Xiuyan fell into deep thought after hearing this, "Pei Liu, maybe it's not what you thought. Was that pill given to the second prince after he gave birth?"
Pei Xue looked up instantly and nodded, "That incident happened at the same time as brother Yan refused to accept the concubine."
"The Imperial Concubine may be feeling sorry for you, but she is afraid that you will encounter the same thing as the Second Prince's Concubine after you become pregnant. You are both still young, and she may want to wait until the situation is more stable before letting you have children." Chen Xiuyan guessed, "If
I just don’t want you to have children, or I don’t want you to be in a bad mood, and I want to force you to take a concubine for the third prince. There are many ways, so there is no need to do it in such a subtle way.”
"It might be a good thing not to be pregnant at this time." Chen Xiuyan analyzed, and Pei Xue listened carefully. Thinking of how good the imperial concubine was to him, she also agreed with this possibility.
"I shouldn't doubt the imperial concubine." Pei Xue said with a guilty look on her face. "The Pei family had ulterior motives when it came to my marriage to brother Yan. However, the imperial concubine and brother Yan both supported me from behind. The imperial concubine is still in the pavilion.
My mother and I were close friends at that time, and it was the imperial concubine who arranged the marriage between me and Brother Yan. Anyone could harm me, but not the imperial concubine and Brother Yan."
"It must be that Xiangqiao's incident made me too frightened." Pei Xue rubbed her forehead, her eyes filled with regret.
"Then it's my fault, I misled you." Chen Xiuyan was more willing to believe that the imperial concubine was a good person.
Pu Gonggong sent someone to call the third prince, but the third prince came very slowly and only appeared half an hour later. There were many people who came with him, including the emperor and Empress Dowager Wei's confidants and father-in-law.
"I've met the Third Prince." Chu Wenqian was in the courtyard and soon saw the person and hurriedly saluted.
"Brother Ziqing is here." The third prince called Chu Wenqian affectionately, "I'm sorry, I obviously took the initiative to invite you, but I didn't expect that I made you wait."
"My wife and I were rude. My wife and the third prince's concubine are good friends, and we happened to meet them too early." Chu Wenqian immediately excused himself.
"Brother Yan." Pei Xue had already come from the backyard, followed by Chen Xiuyan. The third prince felt relieved.
"Xue'er." The third prince was excited when he saw Pei Xue safe and sound. He didn't show it on his face, but he naturally held her hand. Pei Xue blushed and twitched, and then the third prince let go.
"Sister-in-law." The third prince's title surprised Chen Xiuyan.
"I have met the Third Prince." Chen Xiuyan bowed and saluted.
The emperor and the confidant father-in-law beside Queen Mother Wei went back not long after. When the four of them sat together in the hall, the third prince's face turned dark.
"It's such a good show." The reason why the third prince came so late was because of what happened in Qingxiu Palace. "Such a large group of people went to the remote Qingxiu Palace. Someone in the palace saw my husband and I.
The female family members had a private meeting there, originally they just wanted to inform the Queen, but it suddenly spread."
"But when we got to the ground, only the dandy from Zhongqin's residence was sleeping soundly there. There was no one else inside or outside the palace. At that time, the faces of the Queen Mother and the Concubine Xian became stiff."
"There are still people who want to bite Xue'er and Brother Ziqing. Fortunately, Dandelion sent people to go in time, and I immediately told you where you were going." The third prince said, "Father and the Queen Mother then let people follow you.
Come and confirm.”
"What's going on?"
Chen Xiuyan was the one who knew the whole process best. She told everything. When he knew that the person he wanted to deal with was herself and Prince Jin's Mansion, the third prince immediately broke the tea cup in his hand.
