Chapter 289 Secret Medicine
"She said it wasn't her, you really have no brains," Wen Xi refused to argue with her
"If she says it's not, then it's not?" Wen Ziqi asked
"Yes, I believe what she said." Wen Xi was very serious, which made Zhao Keke's heart beat faster.
bang bang
"Hmph, believe me or not, I won't leave today without the antidote." How could Wen Ziqi dare to let the Fifth Prince investigate? He was obviously hiding from her. She had to get the antidote.
“It’s really not me”
"I know," Wen Xi consoled, and then turned to Wen Ziqi and said, "Recently, the Crown Prince's concubine has often met the Fifth Prince. I heard that before she got married, the person she was thinking about was the Fifth Prince. That's right, the Fifth Prince is handsome and talented, and he must be the object of competition among the girls in the capital."
"Brother, what do you mean by that?" Wen Ziqi straightened up.
"Part of the reason why the Fifth Prince is so favored now is because he has you, and you are pregnant. Your child is the eldest grandson of the Emperor. Guess how many people's eyes you have attracted? Why do you think your husband is met by chance every day? You still come to the Prime Minister's Mansion for no reason? Go back and take care of your baby. Don't take Concubine Xue away and think that's all. Remember to send her back after you're done with the baby." Wen Xi looked at her, without a trace of warmth in his eyes
"you……"
"Fifth Imperial Concubine, when I was a child, I saw someone like this in the village. Just use a bowl of folk remedy. I'll prepare it for you and guarantee that your illness will be cured without harming the baby in your belly." Xuanxing brought a bowl of black stuff, which was very smelly.
"What is this? Take it away from me!" Wen Ziqi covered her nose and waved her hands quickly.
"Hey, be careful, this is the only precious medicine you have, otherwise you won't get better." Xuanxing just finished speaking
"Are you telling the truth?" Wen Ziqi hesitated, but she felt sick dragging her swollen body along.
"I guarantee it with my life"
"Bring it here." Wen Ziqi sat down and calmed herself down.
"Yes." Xuanxing carefully took it over for fear of spilling it.
It stinks, but it's only temporary. She can't let her be ugly forever. She took it, tilted her head back and drank it all in one go. There was still a pill in it, so she pinched it with her hand and put it in her mouth and chewed it.
"Ugh!" Following the sound of vomiting, Xuanxing hurriedly said, "Fifth Princess, please don't vomit!"
Wen Ziqi was so scared that she quickly covered her mouth. She didn’t know if it was a psychological effect, but she always felt better!
"These sheep dung balls are hard to find. They need to be specially dried in the sun, and..."
"What did you say?" Wen Ziqi felt as if the sky was falling, and her ears were buzzing.
"Although the things in here look hard to accept, they are very effective. I wouldn't give them to ordinary people, but I took them out because you were pestering our wife. This is our village's treasure!" Xuanxing knelt down with a wronged look on his face.
Wen Xi and Zhao Keke understood that there must be something else in sheep dung! Zhao Keke tried not to laugh.
"Get up. How can saving people be wrong?" Wen Xi asked Xuan Xing to get up.
"Okay, now that you've taken the secret recipe, you can go back. Your sister-in-law needs to rest. Xuanxing, please see you off."
"Yes, young master." Xuanxing walked to Wen Ziqi and said, "Fifth Princess, please come this way."
"I grew up in a house where I need you to lead the way. Let's go." The maid came over to help her, put on her cap and walked out. She passed by the servants' room and went to see her brother Xue Moliang.
"Stop! What are you doing? You are so outrageous! Someone slap me in the face!" Wen Ziqi vented all the anger she had received from Zhao Keke on the servant who was bullying Xue Moliang.
"Please spare my life, Fifth Princess, spare my life!" The servant knelt on the ground and faced the Fifth Prince's guards beating him. He could only kneel and beg for mercy.
"How is Moliang? Why don't you come back with me to the Fifth Prince's Mansion?" Wen Ziqi quickly took a handkerchief to wipe the blood off Xue Moliang's face.
"Hit me hard! You dare to bully my brother? I think you are tired of living!" Wen Ziqi scolded
"It's okay, I'm used to it." Xue Moliang glanced at the servants around him.
Wen Ziqi understood immediately, "I'm going to go over there and talk to my brother. You guys wait here. Beat that guy up. I want him to be unable to get out of bed for a month. Then the Prime Minister's Mansion will kick him out. This is the fate of bullying my brother. Remember?"
More and more people gathered around, and after hearing what Wen Ziqi said, they could only say "I'll remember it"
The eldest son and the eldest daughter can fight against the second daughter, but they are just servants. How can they have the courage to fight against the imperial concubine? She is still pregnant with the emperor's grandson. The most she talked about was staying away from Xue Moliang.
"Sister, I heard that you are pregnant and mother has been taken away. You must give birth to a baby. No matter whether it is a boy or a girl, your baby will be the eldest grandson. It depends on you to turn things around." Xue Moliang only then noticed that Wen Ziqi's body was swollen.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? Why is it so swollen?" Xue Moliang looked her up and down, took off her hood, and was shocked.
"sister……"
"Humph, our good sister-in-law poisoned me." Wen Ziqi grabbed the cap and put it on.
"Sister-in-law? She may not be true." Xue Moliang's words hurt Wen Ziqi.
Wen Ziqi told Xue Moliang about what happened that day. "After I went back, I thought about it and it must be a trick, but I have already written the letter, so it has to be true."
"Sister, don't worry too much. Wait until you give birth to the eldest grandson. Are you afraid of this? Father's attitude towards me has softened a little recently. I will be able to go to the study to serve father soon. That's why I didn't fight him to the death when that man bullied me today. I don't want to give a bad impression to father. I won't cause trouble before I enter the study and get close to father." Xue Moliang's eyes were full of determination.
"You are great, Mo Liang. Since you have your own ideas, I won't interfere too much. But Wen Xi said something very right. Now the princes, including the crown prince, have no children. I can't show off in public anymore. You have to be careful that Wen Xi and the others don't notice you. Try to avoid them. Father is bothering them about him and Zhao Keke." Wen Ziqi comforted him
"Yes, sister, you must take good care of yourself, and take good care of your mother. Tell her that her son is unfilial." Although Xue Moliang said sentimental words, there were no tears, only clenched fists and a face full of wounds.
"Silly brother, no matter what, I am the Fifth Imperial Concubine. If you really encounter difficulties, go to the Fifth Prince's Mansion to find me. I will not ignore you."
"Okay, I get it, sister. You can go back. Have you checked your body? Are you okay?" Xue Moliang was very concerned about her health. Wen Ziqi thought her brother cared about her.
"I just took the antidote. I'll ask the Crown Prince to check on me later. Don't worry, come to me if you have any problems. I'll also ask the Fifth Prince to meet him more often and talk to him. But you also have to do your duty and make him feel pity for you. The father-son relationship you have had for more than ten years cannot be given up just like that!" Wen Ziqi said earnestly.
