Princess Consort Min instructed the servants in the courtyard not to spread the incident in the lavatory, yet it was impossible to truly keep everyone in the dark, especially since her lip was bitten—not by a dog, but by that madman Prince Min. How could this be explained?
Claiming she bit herself, that she suddenly developed this twisted hobby for fun?
Who would believe that?
No one believed it; everyone looked at her with strange eyes, especially Concubine Ji, whose gaze was filled with resentnt and jealousy.
Concubine Fang also had so mixed feelings, but seeing Concubine Ji’s expression, she strangely felt a surge of delight—it was better to anger this pretentious woman.
The Princess Consort is powerful, the Princess Consort is favored.
As for Princess Consort Ji, she seed capable of staring a hole through Princess Consort Min’s lips. She looked at the two concubines and said, "You both may leave. The Princess Consort stays."
Concubine Fang curtsied gracefully and retreated briskly.
Concubine Ji, seeing this, bit her back teeth and left reluctantly under Princess Consort Ji’s stern gaze.
Once the chamber emptied, Princess Consort Ji’s face darkened, looking at Princess Consort Min and said, "Ze’er is interested, and you must be aware. Later, brew a bowl of Contraceptive Soup and drink it."
What on earth?
Princess Consort Min looked at her sowhat stunned, Contraceptive Soup?
Seeing her expression, Princess Consort Ji replied with a gloomy face, "Don’t tell you’re still dreaming of giving birth to a legitimate son? Have you even considered your own status, bringing a child into this world? Must he endure a lifeti of suffocation under such ancestry just like you? In this case, it would be better not to give birth and avoid such suffering."
A legitimate son would be nice, but with her awkward status as the mother, if she really had a child, should she love the child or resent them?
Out of sight, out of mind, it’s better not to give birth.
Most importantly, if such a child is born, given Emperor Chu and his mother’s suspicious and ruthless nature, they’d likely see Prince Min Mansion as more of a thorn in their side and would insert more spies inside to watch them.
Could they still live then?
So, it is better to forgo having a legitimate son and live more freely.
Thinking of this, Princess Consort Ji could not help but inwardly curse Emperor Chu bitterly, blaming him for being heartless, disregarding brotherly bonds, and giving her Ze’er such a person, and even making her the Official Wife, unable to even afford a legitimate son now.
How treacherous a sche.
In the Imperial Palace, Emperor Chu scratched his itchy nose and ear, feeling soone cursed him.
Listening to Princess Consort Ji, Princess Consort Min was sowhat surprised. Princess Consort Ji was unexpectedly smart for once, and for once, they were in agreent, however unintended.
Though, it was just a misunderstanding.
"Don’t worry, Mother Consort, nothing you fear will happen." After all, she was still a virgin.
"I advise you not to be careless." Princess Consort Ji huffed heavily, "The situation in the Prince Mansion is already complicated enough. If sothing else happens, would we still have a way to live?"
Princess Consort Min pinched her fingertips, looked up at her, and said, "I’ve told you that nothing you worry about will happen because Prince and I haven’t consummated our marriage."
She hadn’t intended to say it, but she really couldn’t bear to let a sick person worry any more, so she just gave her a Calming Pill.
She really was a model daughter-in-law.
Princess Consort Min curtsied to her, then leisurely withdrew, curling the corner of her mouth as she turned away, leaving behind a stunned Princess Consort Ji.
Princess Consort Ji watched her figure disappear in shock, wondering, where am I? What am I doing? No, what did she say?
Not consummated?
"Fetch the Prince."
What on earth is going on?
