Strategy of Prince's Concubine's Rebellion

Chapter 230 The Princess’s Dowry

"Princess!"

Xiaoju gave a worried cry and turned around to get a washbasin.

Xiang Yingxue retched several times, but nothing came out.

He slowly sat back at the nanmu table, stroking his chest to calm his breathing.

Xiaoju poured a cup of tea for her to rinse her mouth with. Seeing how uncomfortable she looked, she felt extremely distressed.

Suddenly, she thought of something and asked hesitantly: "Princess, will you...will you..."

Will there be an heir of King Chen?

However, she knew how much Princess Yingxue hated King Chen, and she was afraid that the princess would completely collapse if asked like this.

After much deliberation, I never asked.

Xiang Yingxue took the tea cup and swallowed it in small sips.

After a moment, he said to Xiaojue calmly: "You want to ask me if I'm pregnant with that beast's child, right?"

Xiaoju pursed her lips and nodded sadly.

Xiang Yingxue smiled mockingly.

"When you were sorting out the things sent by your mother, have you ever seen a jewelry box inlaid with gold and jade? The jade is made into a delicate lotus shape, and every lotus seed inside is made of pearls?"

Xiaoju thought for a while: "I've seen it before! The box is very delicate and locked tightly. It hasn't been opened for a long time."

She looked at Princess Yingxue curiously: "Princess, what is inside?"

Xiang Yingxue picked up the tea cup again, and the scene of trying on wedding dresses with Zhou Jing flashed in her mind.

The two of them walked out of their respective small rooms.

She carefully looked at Zhou Jing, who was wearing a wedding dress, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou Jing, you always tell me to eat more, but why have I lost so much weight?"

She pinched the red cloth that was obviously much wider around his waist and stretched it: "Here, if you add half an inch more, it will be just right."

Zhou Jing did not look down at his clothes, but grabbed her little hand... "Princess, what is inside?"

Seeing that she didn't speak, Xiaoju asked again.

Xiang Yingxue came back to her senses and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I think my mother must have guessed my situation and knew that I was not destined to brother Zhou Jing, so she wanted me to be pregnant with King Chen's child, so as to consolidate her favor and protect herself. Save."

"In that box is the medicine for conceiving a child?"

Xiaoju opened her eyes in disbelief.

"But, princess, you..."

"Why do you need medicine?"

Before Xiaoju finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xiang Yingxue.

"My body is extremely difficult to conceive. When I was 14 years old, Dr. Jiang, the number one expert in women's diseases in Chu Palace, detected the disease. My mother kept it a secret. Apart from her, Dr. Jiang and I were the only ones who knew about this. I know. Dr. Jiang has been developing medicines for me on the orders of my mother for the past few years, and it was only last year that I just started to have some ideas. After I got engaged to my brother Zhou Jing, my mother ordered Dr. Jiang to rush the medicine, just so that when I get married, I can prepare it with other things. Together, we will send it to the Zhou family as a dowry."

Xiaoju breathed a sigh of relief: "I just saw the princess's appearance, I thought..."

She lowered her head, not daring to say anything more.

"It's just that I drank too much yesterday and felt a little uncomfortable."

Xiang Yingxue snorted coldly: "Even if I don't have this disease, I will never be pregnant with that beast's child, even at the cost of harming my body!"

"Princess, what should I do with the medicine sent by the Queen?"

Xiang Yingxue put down the tea cup, picked up the spoon and stirred the red date porridge, and said in a deep voice: "Throw it all away."

Xiaoju nodded thoughtfully.

Murong Chen originally wanted to spend all his time today with Princess Yingxue, but something happened in the camp and he had to leave the house.

After finishing his military affairs, on the way back to the commander's tent from the commander's station, he suddenly saw a bird with a green tail and a red head flying by.
