Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

After introducing one, Doctor Xiang picked up a pot of flowers and continued to explain: "Does your Majesty know what this is?"

Shu Fei was puzzled and replied: "This flower is called shy grass, because when people touch its leaves, it will curl up, and it is also called shy grass or shy grass because of its shy and pitiful posture."

Mimosa grows in Taiwan and Fujian, and it is the small flower from Shufei's hometown. In order to please Shufei, her subordinates sent several pots of this flower from the southernmost part of the country and presented the best one to Shufei.

Shu Fei was originally a rich lady who lived in seclusion. Such grass could be seen everywhere, but it could not enter her boudoir. But now in the north, such grass is also very rare. Thinking of her hometown, Shu Fei kept the pot of mimosa.

Doctor Xiang showed the flower to Concubine Shu: "I noticed that many of the flowers in this pot are broken. May I ask if Your Majesty would like to use the branches and leaves for flower arrangement?"

Shu Fei's face turned pale, but she still answered: "I like fresh flowers, and often use flowers from potted plants to match vases. This mimosa is beautiful and is the most suitable as a matching flower."

Doctor Xiang sighed: "The juice contained in this mimosa is poisonous."

Jiyun asked anxiously, "May I ask Imperial Doctor Xiang if there is a cure for this poison?"

Doctor Xiang said: "This poison is not meant to kill people. If people come into contact with it too much, it will cause their hair to fall out."

This might as well be a poison used to kill people!

Shu Fei raised her hand to stroke her hair, and her hair stood on end. This was because of her appearance. If she lost this hair, even if Kangxi loved her very much, he would still have doubts. She relied on favor to gain a foothold in the palace. Without favor, wouldn't she be like a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others?

Doctor Xiang pointed to another pot and said, "After seeing this mimosa, I carefully checked the plants inside and outside the house. For example, this pot of evergreen."

Jiyun was puzzled: "But this evergreen only has green leaves and no flowers, no fragrance, and it is not used for flower arrangement like mimosa, so how can it harm people?"

Doctor Xiang expressed his conjecture: "That is indeed the case, but after seeing the mimosa, I cannot help but doubt the purpose of the evergreen. Ingestion of this plant can be harmful to the mouth and throat. At the very least, it can cause a hoarse and unpleasant voice. In severe cases, the person will lose his voice and even be in danger of death."

Shu Fei could not hold her sitting position. All these things were done either for contraception or to ruin her future of favor. She had such a cruel heart!

Doctor Xiang didn't care about Shu Fei's fear. His mission was to find out what was harming people, so he took out a box of brown sugar.

"This brown sugar is made from dried purple eggplant flowers. Your Majesty feels the pain during menstruation is unbearable, so she must drink brown sugar water to relieve the discomfort. This purple eggplant flower can achieve the effect of contraception if you take it once a day for seven consecutive days after the menstruation ends. In addition, Your Majesty drinks it for more than just seven days..."

Doctor Xiang didn't continue speaking, but how could Concubine Shu not know what he didn't say?

Jiyun was also very scared, but she remembered another thing that came with the brown sugar, and asked hurriedly: "Doctor Xiang, when the brown sugar was delivered, there was also a can of brown sugar paste. I wonder if there is any problem."

Doctor Xiang signaled Jiyun to bring the things over.

Jiyun took out a can of brown sugar paste from the warehouse. Doctor Xiang smelled it, took out a little and tasted it, then replied to Concubine Shu.

"This is more like black fungus paste than brown sugar paste. It is made by boiling black fungus and adding brown sugar. It can be taken with rice wine before meals for seven days. It also has the effect of preventing pregnancy."

Jiyun suddenly realized, "This brown sugar paste is usually taken by the Empress seven days before her menstrual period, and she specifically told me to take it with rice wine. So that's it."

As for the spices mixed with musk, cloth soaked in safflower, and pigments with other things added to objects that Doctor Xiang found later, they are nothing compared to the previous ones.

Shu Fei asked Ji Yun to see off Doctor Xiang. Ji Yun gave her a generous hush money, and De Fei couldn't hide it, but at least she didn't want to let the murderer know about it and alert the enemy.

After returning, Jiyun was worried: "My queen, should we tell the emperor?"

Shu Fei saw it clearly, "If these things are conspicuous, it is impossible to find the person who did it. If they are not conspicuous, they can also say that the servants were not careful and did not explain the severity of the situation clearly. Moreover, the contraceptive substance in the brown sugar has no side effects. They can even turn the tables and say that I am dissatisfied and do not want to bear children for the emperor."

Jiyun was at a loss, she entered the palace because she had served Shu Fei since she was a child, so she had no intelligence or talent.

Shu Fei didn't want Jiyun to give her advice. If that was the case, wouldn't it be enough to just bring someone smart into the palace? Isn't it because they are from the same family, have the same goals, and are loyal?

Shu Fei ordered Jiyun, "Go and put those unclean ones into the warehouse, and put the two pots of flowers back to where they were. See who wants to get in touch with them. Let's get rid of the traitors first."

Shu Fei promptly and decisively drove many people back to the Imperial Household Department. After dealing with these matters, she went to visit De Fei.

This time, Shu Fei was even more enthusiastic.

"Thanks to my sister for reminding me, otherwise I wouldn't have known there were mice in the house. I cleaned the house thoroughly recently."

Concubine De responded very kindly: "As long as I can help my sister, it's fine. I wonder if my sister has any new ideas about my suggestion that day?"

Shu Fei had no other choice. Without De Fei's protection, she couldn't even get pregnant, let alone have a child.

"My sister is willing to stand together with her sister."

Concubine De said with great satisfaction: "It is only when you have a child of your own that you can have confidence in this palace. I have also seen the ability of Imperial Doctor Xiang. If you have any needs, just tell him."

Shu Fei finally asked, "Sister, are you directing and acting in this drama yourself?"

Concubine De answered firmly: "If my sister has such means, why would she win over my sister?"

She was a smart person. Since last year's plan failed, she had restrained her actions and looked for new allies. She couldn't kill him with one blow, so she wouldn't do something that would offend others.

This was consistent with Shu Fei's speculation, and she responded with the same firmness: "I hope you will keep your word, otherwise, although I don't have much power, I can still take someone with me to die."

After returning to the palace, Jiyun made tea for Concubine Shu and said worriedly, "My queen, is Yonghe Palace reliable?"

Shu Fei touched her flat belly and said, "Whether she is reliable or not is just to ease the crisis temporarily. As long as I have a prince, I don't have to follow her orders."

Defei's ill intentions were written all over her face, and Shufei didn't believe that she was willing to give birth to the child herself.

So she sent a message to the Chen family in Jiangnan, asking them to secretly train a doctor who was good at gynecology and send him to the capital. She and the Chen family had a relationship of mutual benefit, so she could use him with confidence.

It was no secret that Defei and Shufei had formed an alliance.

After Defei praised Shufei and Shufei frequently mentioned the fourteenth prince born to Defei, everyone in the palace who had an eye on something knew about it.

Concubine Yi was the most impatient. She kept cursing in her own palace, calling Concubine De a "good one". The four of them were planning how to deal with Concubine Shu, but she directly formed an alliance with Concubine Shu. She really would try to climb up the social ladder whenever she saw benefits!
