Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing returned to the the car drove away from the palace gate, Fu Ciyi asked, "What is the emperor's pulse like?"
"He asked how many years he had left, but in reality, there were only a few years left. I just changed two medicines, which can reduce the side effects of the previous medicines in his body. Medicines are three-quarters toxic, and he has taken a lot of pills, so this problem is very serious."
"So what's his illness?"
"It's not a disease, it's just that the body is very weak. In layman's terms, it's a huge hole that can't be filled no matter how hard you try. I think the imperial physician has already told the emperor the truth about what he asked just now."
“There will be quite a bit of upheaval.”
"A new emperor appoints new ministers. If the crown prince succeeds to the throne, your husband will face great problems. Even if your husband's position as prime minister remains unchanged in the future, the crown prince's past behavior may cost lives."
He squeezed her hand and said, "Don't worry, Ningning. I know what's going on."
-
It was icy and snowy, and there were few cars and pedestrians on the street.
Cai Mushi returned to her parents' home.
As soon as she entered the prime minister's residence, she ran into Cai Mingzhi.
"It's really rare. You've been married to the prince's mansion for quite some time, and you're back today." Cai Mingzhi saw that she looked unhappy, and he was inexplicably happy. Thinking that he wanted to curry favor with the prince, he greeted her with a smile, "Did the prince bully you?"
"That's not the case." Cai Mushi didn't want to say more.
"Is there anything we can't talk about? You know I want you to be favored by the prince more than anyone else."
Hearing this, Cai Mushi lowered her voice and said, "Can you help me deal with Yan Yan'er?"
"The adopted daughter of the Yan family? How did she offend you?"
"You two should speak."
Cai Mushi was too lazy to say anything, so she asked her two maids to report to Cai Mingzhi.
The few of them talked as they walked, and soon they arrived at the flower hall. Cai Mingzhi also understood the whole story.
"Now the prince still favors her, it may be difficult to deal with her for the time being."
"That's all you can do." Cai Mushi snorted and handed the heater in her hand to the maid. "It's not hot anymore." She stretched out her hand to the charcoal basin to warm herself.
The maid retreated to replace the charcoal in the stove.
Cai Mingzhi lowered his voice and said, "It's not that there is no way. As long as I can get her out of the Prince's Mansion, I will find a way to punish her and make sure the Prince won't want her anymore."
Cai Mushi smiled: "I knew that Fourth Brother would have a way."
Soon, Cai Tingzhou and his wife came over.
"Mom and Dad."
Cai Mushi stood up, leaned her head on her mother's shoulder, and shed tears of grievance.
Cai Tingzhou cast a stern look at his son.
Cai Mingzhi quickly waved his hands to clarify: "Father and mother, it was not me who bullied my sister, it was my sister who was wronged in the Prince's Mansion."
"My dear daughter, tell me what has happened to you. Your parents are here for you." Mrs. Cai patted her daughter's shoulder.
Cai Mushi sobbed softly.
Yan Yan'er's matter was a small matter and had been handed over to Cai Mingzhi to handle. The main person she should deal with was the Crown Princess.
Thinking of this, Rou Ruo said: "Mother, the Crown Princess felt that she could not beat me, so she got a woman to compete with me for favor."
Cai Mingzhi took credit and said, "Father and mother, I have promised my sister to help her deal with that woman."
Cai Tingzhou said, "Hmm," "You are responsible as a brother."
Madam Cai couldn't help but give Cai Mingzhi a good look. She nodded to him, then turned to her daughter and said, "She has been the Crown Princess for some years and has no children. This trick is just a last resort. My daughter, what you need to do is get pregnant as soon as possible."
"The emperor has no biological children, so he values offspring more than ordinary people. If you can conceive a grandson, your position in the Prince's Mansion will be consolidated. By then, I can ask for an imperial decree for your father, and have the emperor decide to give you the position of Crown Princess. It is very likely that this will happen." Cai Tingzhou said earnestly.
"Mom and Dad, I want to do the same thing." Cai Mushi lowered her eyes, "But I..."
"We have to prepare for this." Madam Cai looked at her husband, "Master, we will go back to our room first." She turned to her son and said, "Since we have agreed to this, we should do it well."
"Yes, mother." Cai Mingzhi nodded. As soon as Mrs. Cai brought Cai Mushi back to the courtyard, she sent someone beside her to invite the palace doctor.
The court doctor came soon.
"Ma'am, Miss." He greeted.
"Take the young lady's pulse and see what prescription to prescribe so that she can get pregnant sooner." Mrs. Cai said.
The court doctor said yes, and after taking Cai Mushi's pulse carefully, he prescribed some medicine.
Cai Mushi looked at the densely written medicines on the paper and couldn't help asking, "Do you really need so many medicines?"
The court doctor glanced at Madam Cai and said, "I am telling the truth. Madam and Miss, please don't blame me."
"Speak, tell the truth." Mrs. Cai frowned.
"The young lady is thin, and her pulse shows that it may be difficult for her to conceive." The court doctor said softly.
Mrs. Cai looked at her daughter and saw that she had a flat butt. According to tradition, it would be difficult for her to give birth to a son with such a body shape.
"You must find a way to make my daughter pregnant with a boy." Mrs. Cai lowered her voice, "If you succeed, you will be rewarded."
The court doctor said, "My humble servant advises you not to diet too much and take your medicine regularly."
"How long will it take for the effect to show up?" Cai Mushi asked.
Her figure was as frail as a willow, and no noble lady in the capital could imitate her.
But for now, being able to conceive a boy is indeed an important thing.
The court doctor pondered and said, "At least one year, at most three to four years. Miss is still young, long-term conditioning will definitely be effective."
Mrs. Cai waved her hand.
The court doctor then withdrew.
After the court doctor left, Cai Mushi lowered her voice and said to her mother, "Mom, one year seems too long to me. If it really takes three or four years, what if the Crown Princess gets pregnant early?"
The son born to the Crown Princess is the legitimate son.
It will be difficult for her to replace her by then.
Mrs. Cai rolled her eyes and said softly, "There is another way. Do you agree?"
"What is it?"
"Borrowing a child's womb."
"Who are you borrowing it from?" Cai Mushi frowned.
"Lend it to your concubine's sister, and when she gives birth, you can kill the mother and keep the child. You are the legitimate sister, so it is only natural for you to raise her child, and the prince will not refuse. Or you can let her serve the prince instead of you at night, and when she gets pregnant, you can pretend to be pregnant too."
"The method mother suggested is feasible. I have several concubine sisters. Who should I choose?"
Madam Cai glanced at her daughter's figure again and said, "Your sisters are not as good-looking as you. If they pretend to be you serving the prince at night, I'm afraid they will be exposed."
"My daughter thinks so too. Then we can only let the mother go and keep the child. I will then raise the child of my concubine sister in the name of the legitimate sister." Cai Mushi thought for a moment and asked, "Mother, who should we choose then?"
Mrs. Cai thought of the concubine she hated the most and blurted out, "Cai Muge."
Cai Mushi laughed out loud: "Great, her aunt usually goes against mother, let them know how powerful we are."
"In a few days, I will find a reason to send her to the Prince's Mansion. You can act accordingly."
"Yeah, I know." Cai Mushi nodded.
To be honest, the prince is really lustful.
He wanted to taste both lowly women and innocent women.
In this case, the plan will surely succeed. (End of this chapter)
