When Xie Yun came out of the Nichang Room, she did not go straight to Qiao Ruoyi’s room. Instead, she went to the kitchen.

  Every time Qiao ruoyi came, she would bring the pill to avoid the child. Once she arrived, she would order the orchid heart to boil it in the kitchen.

  Xie Yun said to the servant girl in the kitchen, “In the future, every time you boil the pill, change the pill to something that will make it easier for you to get pregnant.”


  “Yes, Master.”
……

  An autumn rain fell. The heat was gone, and the autumn wind rustled. On a hot summer day, it was a good time to hold a poetry meet.

  There were many banquets in all the noble families. There were all kinds of banquets. Qiao Ruoyi was in the officialdom, so it was impossible for her not to attend.

  There were many banquets, and there were many rumors. Qiao ruoyi heard the rumors, and as she listened, people began to ask about Qiao ruoyi and Xie Yun.

  No one knew how rich the Xie family was, but these people also knew that the Xie family was a big family with a lot of wealth. If the marriage between Qiao Ruoyi and Xie Yun didn’t work out, then Xie Yun could be considered a good son-in-law.

  The others didn’t dare to ask openly, so Qiao ruoyi naturally changed the topic with a few words, not mentioning her and Xie Yun’s marriage.

  After Qiao Ruoyi left, a few ladies who were holding her whispered, “She still pretends to be noble. A concubine’s daughter is a concubine’s daughter. I heard that she often brings her daughter to the Xie family’s villa and stays there for the whole night.”


  “What noble? Xie Yun doesn’t want to marry her, what else can she do? Beg her sister, the Empress, to marry her? But Xie Yun is not an ordinary family, how can she marry her just like that!”


  “It’s already amazing that the daughter of a concubine can do what she did. I heard that her aunt was a servant girl in the past, and now her daughter is an official.”


  “She still has a good sister.”


  The words of these madams did not lack some sourness.

  When Qiao Ruoyi returned, these madams changed their faces again, praising Qiao Ruoyi’s complexion to be much better, and there was no lack of flattery.

  After the banquet, the servant girl placed a piece of white-cut chicken in front of Qiao Ruoyi. Qiao ruoyi looked at the white-cut chicken and covered her mouth. She stood up and said, “Excuse me.”


  Qiao ruoyi walked to a small path and could not help but vomit. She vomited so much that her bile was about to come out.

  Yan Yu asked worriedly, “Miss……”


  Qiao ruoyi vomited completely and sat down on a rock beside her. “I don’t know why recently, but I feel like vomiting whenever I see anything.”


  Yan Yu asked, “Are you pregnant? When the princess was pregnant with her second child, she also threw up a lot.”


  Qiao ruoyi frowned and said, “That’s impossible. I clearly took the pill to avoid the child. I didn’t miss it every time.”


  Yan Yu said, “Why don’t we go back to the manor and ask the imperial physician to check her pulse?”


  Qiao Ruoyi Thought for a moment and said, “Don’t tell anyone yet. Tomorrow is the day to go to the Xie family’s villa, right?”


  “Yes,”Yan Yu said.

  Qiao ruoyi whispered a few words into Yan Yu’s ear, and Yan Yu quickly agreed.

  The next day, Qiao Ruoyi did not bring Nichang with her this time.

  Xie Yun looked at Qiao ruoyi, but he did not see Nichang following behind her. He asked, “Why isn’t my daughter here today?”


  “The Crown Prince’s birthday is approaching. Recently, they are planning to have a birthday gift for the crown prince. They are still playing with the second prince.”


  Xie Yun said, “Her relationship with the second prince is good.”


  “They are cousins after all,”Qiao Ruoyi replied.

  When the antidote was given today, Qiao ruoyi, who had never spoken, opened her mouth to ask Xie Yun to slow down. This made Xie Yun more and more unable to control himself……

  After that, Lan Xin came in with a bowl of medicine for Qiao Ruoyi.

  When Qiao Ruoyi wanted to drink the medicine, she could not help but vomit. The filth stained Xie Yun’s extremely precious pair of boots.

  Xie Yun frowned slightly and said, “What’s wrong? The imperial family’s doctor.”


  Qiao ruoyi said, “Don’t look for the imperial family’s doctor. Just look for the imperial doctor.”


  Xie Yun looked at Qiao Ruoyi in confusion. Qiao ruoyi vomited again. “Look for the Imperial Doctor.”


  The imperial doctor was called to the Xie family’s villa by Lan Xin. When he saw Xie Yun and Qiao ruoyi inside, the imperial doctor who had heard of the rumors about the two of them was not surprised. After the imperial doctor checked her pulse, he said, “Fifth miss is pregnant again.”


  Xie Yun was extremely happy and said, “Really?”


  Qiao ruoyi shouted to the outside, “Yan Yu, come in.”


  Yan Yu wrapped the medicinal dregs in a silk handkerchief and entered. Qiao ruoyi said to the imperial physician, “May I trouble the imperial physician to take a look at what this medicine is?”


  The imperial physician looked at the medicinal dregs. Just as he was about to speak, Lan Xin said, “It wasn’t easy for the imperial physician to come all the way here. Why Don’t you go to the side and have a sip of tea before you slowly read the prescription?”


  Qiao ruoyi slowly said, “Cocoon silk, galangal ginger, acacia, angelica, Asarum…… I don’t read many medical books. From these medicinal dregs, I can see that these are all pregnancy-enhancing drugs.”


  The imperial physician replied, “Fifth young miss has good eyesight. This is precisely the pregnancy-enhancing offspring soup that is very popular among aristocratic families.”


  “Thank you for your explanation, imperial physician,”Qiao Ruoyi said. “Yan Yu, thank you very much, imperial physician.”


  After the imperial physician and Yan Yu left, Lan Xin hurriedly knelt in front of qiao ruoyi and said, “I’m sorry, fifth miss. This servant acted on my own initiative. I wanted master to have an heir, so I specially changed your son-avoiding soup. Please forgive me, fifth Miss!”


  Qiao ruoyi said, “If it weren’t for your master’s permission, would a servant girl like you dare to plot against Master’s Heir?”


  Xie Yun calmly sat on a chair at the side and said to Qiao ruoyi, “So what if I changed your pill? Now that you have my child, you wouldn’t be thinking of marrying someone else with this child, right?”


  Qiao ruoyi saw Xie Yun like this and said, “I will abort the child.”


  Although she didn’t regret leaving Nichang behind, she wasn’t willing to bear children for Xie Yun.

  Xie Yun asked, “Is that so?”


  Qiao ruoyi frowned slightly and said, “Of course.”


  Xie Yun looked at Qiao Ruoyi’s flat stomach and said, “Qiao ruoyi, I gave you the antidote because I owe you. But if you dare to kill my son, I will not let you off.

  The Xie family might be able to fight with your Qiao family to the point where both sides suffer. Do you think the Qiao family will use the entire family’s strength to protect you, a concubine’s Daughter?”


  Qiao ruoyi saw that Xie Yun seemed to have changed.

  Xie Yun said, “Qiao ruoyi, previously, I felt guilty and felt sorry for the both of you. But if you dare to kill my son, then that’s another matter.”


  Qiao ruoyi covered her stomach and said, “Do you think the child is your son? You just want to use this child to force me to marry you. It’s really sad for the children to have a father like you.”


  Xie Yun only said, “Think about it carefully. I, Xie Yun, have always been a person who doesn’t offend others. The hatred of killing my son is irreconcilable. If you dare to kill my son, you can forget about me detoxifying you.”


  Qiao ruoyi left the Xie family’s villa in a daze. She did not return to the Qiao residence but went to Luo Wei’s grave.

  It was dark and it was curfew time again. However, the imperial guards recognized Qiao Ruoyi and did not question her further.

  Qiao ruoyi went to Luo Wei’s grave and used the candlelight to wipe the tombstone. Her eyes were filled with tears. “Luo Wei, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”


  She should not have agreed to Xie Yun using this method to make the antidote in the first place. She was really stupid.

  Really Stupid!
