Physician He was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down.
"Prince, I’ve always been working for you, how could I possibly help an unrecognized concubine!"
"This pulse indeed shows symptoms of miscarriage weakness!"
Zhi’er tilted his little head and curiously thought: "So what’s going on?"
Feng Fuce spoke mildly: "In the palace of the former dynasty, there was a secret medicine for false pregnancy that could help concubines temporarily gain favor."
"After taking the medicine, the pulse looks identical to a pregnant woman. If one consumes something antagonistic, like mushrooms, it will cause bleeding, and the pulse will show signs of miscarriage."
"To determine if this medicine was truly taken, you can check the plates in the room to see if there are mushrooms or other such items."
After he finished speaking, Prince Kang and Princess Consort Kang exchanged a glance.
Qing Lan immediately lifted her skirt and went inside to investigate.
With just a glance, she quickly turned around and came out, loudly declaring: "The Marquis is right, there actually is a dish of mushroom greens!"
Upon hearing this, Princess Consort Kang felt that Second Aunt was truly absurd!
"Even if you want to gain favor, you shouldn’t joke with your health. If there are issues from taking this secret medicine, do you really not care about your life?"
Prince Kang frowned with disgust.
"You wouldn’t be planning to bleed uncontrollably while having dinner with me, would you!"
"Truly disgusting and distasteful!" He waved his sleeves, turned his back, and wanted nothing more to do with Second Aunt!
Feng Fuce was looking at Zhi’er.
The little fellow was troubled, poking his chin with his tiny hand, appearing completely puzzled.
Feng Fuce pursed his lips: "Didn’t understand? Was what I said too complicated?"
Zhi’er shook his little head: "No, I was just thinking, since it’s a secret medicine from the palace of the former dynasty, how did Second Aunt get it?"
With these words, everyone fell silent.
Only Feng Fuce raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of amusement appearing in his cool, thin eyes.
This little fellow reacted quicker than Prince Kang.
The fourth son, Bai Daoyan, pondered aloud: "Could it have been bought on the black market? I know people pay heavily on the black market for some contraband."
Zhi’er looked at Feng Fuce.
His watery eyes resembled those of an obedient little deer, waiting for him to answer.
Feng Fuce initially didn’t want to say more.
Yet the little fellow’s gaze was too persuasive!
He had no choice but to purse his lips: "On the black market, this kind of palace prescription is worth a fortune. A mere concubine, no matter how favored, wouldn’t have that much money."
"The only reason is that someone else gave her the prescription, and she is an informant planted in the Imperial Mansion."
Prince Kang was shocked: "What?!"
This Second Aunt was previously a clean official singing little songs in Xianghong Building.
Prince Kang once went there to listen to music with several officials and thus became acquainted with her.
Second Aunt’s words were gentle, like a Jieyu flower.
Whenever Prince Kang got hit by Princess Consort Kang in the mansion, he would run to Xianghong Building to listen to songs.
Over time, Second Aunt transformed from his confidante to a concubine within the mansion.
But Prince Kang never expected she would have a second identity!
Prince Kang flew into rage, glared at Second Aunt: "Is it really true? Are you a spy sent by someone to watch over me?"
Second Aunt lowered her head and suddenly let out a cold laugh.
When she looked up again, her face was marked by tears.
Her reddened eyes harbored a hint of resentment.
"Prince, tell me truthfully, are all those pledges of undying love you spoke really false?"
"You once pitied Yuzhi for being trapped in the world of debauchery, yet her music was so pure. You said you felt sorry for me, were these words also lies?"
