Chapter 124: Lu Baizhi's Purpose
"Borrowed?forcibly pregnant?" Cui Zhiwei frowned, "Listening to the name, it belongs to that kind of forbidden drug." What must be the price to pay after taking it?" The cycle of cause and effect is like the backlash that she will face if she forcibly changes the fate of others.
Cui Zhili nodded his head and replied slowly: "One life is worth one life." β
Really. Cui Zhiwei took a deep breath and looked at Lu Baizhi, "You don't want to exchange your life for a child, do you?"
"The county gentleman guessed correctly, the concubine body does have this plan. β
"You're crazy, is it really that important to you to have a child? Even if you can't give birth, you can raise one! Why do you want to pay for a life?"
"The concubine is not crazy," Lu Baizhi explained, "The child is not only important to the concubine, but also to His Royal Highness the Prince. β
No one knows Jiang Xuanjun's body better than Lu Baizhi, although the toxins in his body have been removed by the pulp washing fruit, the damage suffered by his body before is difficult to reverse. Even though Lu Baizhi has been helping him recuperate all these years, the effect is very little. It is very difficult to have children of your own.
If he is just an ordinary person, even if he is just an ordinary prince, it is a big deal to pass the stepchildren from the family. He is the crown prince, the one who will inherit the throne in the future, and the step-heir is equivalent to giving up the throne to someone else.
"Then you didn't think about letting someone else take mustard to give birth to a child for the prince, and when the child's mother died, the child could be under your name?"
"No, the concubine never wants others to give birth to children for His Royal Highness the Prince, even if it is death, the concubine also wants to have a blood that belongs to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the concubine's body and blood, and wants His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to remember the concubine for a lifetime. β
This is really not your average decision. "Then you say, how can we help you find the mustard spirit, and what benefits will we get from helping you find the mustard spirit?" The relationship between their brother and sister and Lu Baizhi was not good enough to help her for no reason.
"The concubine has a map in her hand to find the mustard spirit, where there are many rare herbs in addition to the mustard spirit. In addition, before taking the holy fruit, the concubine body used her own blood to make a lot of pills to cure a hundred poisons, if you help the concubine body get the mustard spirit, the concubine body will give all the pills. Lu Baizhi said, "As far as the concubine knows, there is a poisonous barrier where you are going, and the concubine can first offer ten pills in case you need it." β
"The stakes are high, have you told the prince's brother about this?"
"Nope. Lu Baizhi shook her head, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is such a noble person, he can't let him know that the concubine body needs to use mustard spirit to conceive an heir. He also begged Cui Zhiwei and Cui Zhili, "I also hope that you can help the concubine keep this secret." β
This is not just to keep the secret for Lu Baizhi, but to keep the secret for Jiang Xuanjun, otherwise his position as the crown prince may not be able to be kept.
I have to admit that even without this incident, the bond between their Hou Mansion and the crown prince is getting bigger and bigger. Even if their family doesn't admit it, in the eyes of the world, they are the prince's faction. If Jiang Xuanjun falls and another person ascends the throne, their family may not have a good time.
In fact, like Cui Zhiwei, who is going to get married sooner or later, Cui Zhiyi and Cui Zhili have no intention of pursuing a career, even if they are affected by something, it is not too big, but Cui Zhixing is not good.
Cui Zhixing is more decent and ambitious, he doesn't want to be a petty official in a mediocre way, his greatest wish is to assist the emperor to become a generation of famous ministers.
Cui Zhiwei thought for a long time and said, "We can keep the secret for you, but helping you find the mustard spirit is very important, and it is impossible to give you an answer right away." β
"The concubine also knows that the stakes are high, and the county monarch and the third prince can find the concubine at any time if they think about it clearly. β
"Okay, let's talk about it here today, and we'll go to see Brother Yan later. Cui Zhiwei finished serving tea and sending it off.
Lu Baizhi bowed to the two of them playfully and left.
"Zhiwei, do you really want to help Miss Lu?" After she left, Cui Zhili asked Cui Zhiwei.
"Not yet. After all, it was about Jiang Xuanjun, and without his consent, Cui Zhiwei didn't want the family to get involved in the land of right and wrong.
"That's good, that's what I thought. β
The two of them hadn't gone to see the banquet yet, and the third princess and the fifth princess came to the East Palace with Zhou Fengxi.
"Why are these people suddenly interested in coming to the East Palace?" Jiang Xuanjun frowned slightly when he heard Cao Yuan's report.
"I said that I came to visit Yan Shizi on the order of the queen, and brought it to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince what do you think of the person who rejoices the Yan Shizi?"
"I see. Jiang Xuanjun then thought that it was Empress Feng he was looking for, and asked her to help Yan Jingnian find someone to be happy.
"Then let Miss Wednesday and the two princesses in?" Cao Yuan asked.
"Let them in. In addition, you find someone to report to the queen mother and tell her that her cousin is awake and there is no need to find someone to rejoice. Jiang Xuanjun commanded Cao Yuan.
"The little one went down to do errands first?"
"Go ahead. β
After Cao Yuan left, Yan Jingnian asked Jiang Xuanjun with a cold face, "What are those women doing here?"
Jiang Xuanjun smiled, "You think a few of them came to see you?"
Yan Jingnian thought for a while, "That's right." The two princesses found a reason to accompany Miss Wednesday to see their cousin.
"Lone thinks they're here to see Zhiwei. β
"Why?" Yan Jingnian didn't know much about men and women, so he didn't think much about it. He glanced at Cui Zhiyi, who had been acting as a background wall for a long time, and saw that he was also concerned.
"A few of them didn't come early or late, but they came over after Gu asked Zhiwei for pastries. Eight or nine times out of ten, who did Gu ask for the pastries?", and his mother should also be happy to see it, otherwise how could his mother call someone to come and disturb him?
"Then you will let them see Zhiwei? Aren't you afraid that they will find trouble with Zhiwei? No, I have to help Zhiwei, master. Cui Zhiyi also has to go out.
Jiang Xuanjun pressed Yan Jingnian back to the bed, "You better be honest and be a patient for a while, otherwise who will they come to see?"
"Then what if they bully Zhiwei?" Cui Zhiyi nodded.
"Yougu is here, do you think they can?" Jiang Xuanjun smiled, "Besides, Xuanyue's girl likes the boss of the Cui family," he glanced at the anxious Cui Zhiyi, "It's your eldest brother, it's too late for her to please Zhiwei." β
"Jiang Xuanzhu doesn't have to worry about that," Yan Jingnian said, "Master, I see that she is also currying favor with Zhiwei." But what about Miss Wednesday? Cousin isn't he afraid that you, your fiancΓ©e, will be embarrassed to know the subtleties? Master, I heard that not long ago, she was embarrassed by the fact that the Hou Mansion did not donate money and was a profiteer. β
