Bu Yaolian sighed. “Shao Zun came last night; he hadn’t forgotten me. I served him three times with my body, but it didn’t feel good. I don’t know if it’s because I’m unwell or if I was overthinking it.”


  Gu Bailu asked in confusion, “What was on your mind?”


  “When I close my eyes, I see him sleeping with someone else. I can’t get rid of the image. When I see it, I’m in no mood to sleep with him. Am I being too unreasonable?”


  Gu Bailu shook her head. “It’s only human nature, and very normal. But if you think that, I’m afraid that Su Shenfan will be unhappy with you.”


  “I’m scared too. Shao Zun didn’t have a good time last night. I used the excuse that I wasn’t feeling well, but he didn’t say anything.”


  “Su Shenfan is that sort of man. Either you have the ability to make him stay away from other women, or you can only accept it. Although it’s cruel, it’s the truth. Just get pregnant first. If you don’t want to serve him anymore, then run away.”


  Gu Bailu knew that Bu Yaolian was upset.

  In ancient times, there were indeed many wives and concubines, but which woman would really like her man to pamper another woman?

  It was hard to accept that something that had just been pulled out of another woman’s body was touching her again.

  But what could she do? Bu Yaolian loved this man.

  Gu Bailu couldn’t help even if she wanted to. She couldn’t force Su Shenfan to only touch Bu Yaolian, could she?

  Su Shenfan wasn’t someone who would be threatened like that.

  Bu Yaolian understood. “I’ll try my best to control it.”


  Gu Bailu smiled. “If you really can’t control it, just use the drug. It’ll make you aroused even if you’re not in the mood. Let’s make the baby a reality first.”


  Bu Yaolian widened her eyes and said happily, “That’s right. How could I forget that?”


  Gu Bailu shook her head. “Don’t be too happy. This kind of stimulant is only used by concubines and prostitutes. Su Shenfan has seen it before, and you can’t hide it from him. Try not to use it until the end.”


  “Yes, I understand.”


  If it was possible, she didn’t want to use it. After all, she wouldn’t be able to enjoy anything if she used it.

  Shao Zun was good at giving pleasure; she didn’t want to deprive herself of it.

  Who knew how many more chances she would have to feel it.

  Gu Bailu wrote a letter to Mr. Xiao to ask him about the 9,999 Spring Harbingers.

  Before the letter could be sent out, Ye Ying said, “Mr. Xiao is back. He’s asking to see you.”


  “Ah……”


  Gu Bailu was confused, then suddenly remembered that Xiao Xiao was from Rising Clouds, and that Xiao Jingyun was his cousin.

  Both of them belonged to the royal family.

  She then remembered how Feng Qingtian said that Xiao Xiao might be unwilling to become involved, and she hurriedly had Ye Ying invite him in.

  Xiao Xiao was still wearing an inconspicuous robe, but while it was plain and simple, it couldn’t hide his magnificence.

  People who practiced medicine always had a sage-like air about them.

  “Princess Zi, long time no see,” Xiao Xiao said with a smile.

  Gu Bailu chuckled. “I didn’t expect to meet you in your own territory.”


  Xiao Xiao smiled. “I haven’t been back for a long time.”


  “I just wrote you a letter, and you’re here. Isn’t that a coincidence?” Gu Bailu waved the letter in her hand and handed it to him.

  “Oh, what’s the matter?”


  Xiao Xiao opened the letter and read it, before he tore it up. He said solemnly, “Medicine is toxic to some degree, especially something like the 9,999 Spring Harbingers. You can’t use it too much.”
