After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

"Siqin, bring me the small paper bag from the cabinet."

"Find a way to put this into Concubine Shen's diet."

Hongliu took the medicine bag with trembling hands.

"Don't worry, it's not poison, it's just an abortion pill."

"Siqin, help Hongliu up and give her a portion of my Jade Skin Cream. Go back and apply some cold water on her skin, then apply the Jade Skin Cream. She will be fine tomorrow."

Hongliu hid herself all the way and returned to the room where several maids lived.

Just in time, I bumped into Cui Liu who came back to change clothes.

"Hey, Hongliu, what's wrong with your face?" Cuiliu immediately noticed something was wrong with Hongliu.

"It's okay, I just had an allergic reaction to something I ate, so I found some medicine to apply. Doesn't the master need someone to serve you? Why don't you go quickly?"

Hongliu covered her face with one hand and pushed Cuiliu out with the other.

She fetched some cold water, put the handkerchief in to wet it, and then covered her face with it.

The cold feeling made her shiver.

Hongliu looked at her swollen face in the bronze mirror and couldn't help but curse Ning Ruyan secretly.

"When I become the prince's concubine, I will tell him everything you have done, and you will not suffer any consequences."

After applying the handkerchief, she applied a thin layer of jade skin cream.

The fragrant and cool jade skin cream made her take a deep breath.

She looked at her swollen face in the mirror, then scooped up a large amount of lotion and spread it evenly on her face.

Youth and beauty are her assets, so she must protect them well.

Hongliu touched the paper bag in her arms, and her heart trembled.

However, the promise Ning Ruyan made kept lingering in her mind.

If a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. For the sake of her own future, she has to take a gamble no matter what.

But she is usually only responsible for Shen Yunjin's clothes and accessories, and has no contact with food at all. How can she find a chance to put the medicine?

Ever since she became pregnant, Yuzhi started to prepare all kinds of soups and drinks for Shen Yunjin.

Bird's nest porridge is an essential daily necessity.

"Jinzhi, come and help me watch the fire. I think I'm having my period." Yuzhi covered her stomach.

"But the master just asked me to check the restaurant's account books."

Jinzhi looked embarrassed and showed them the thick stack of account books in her hand.

"Sister Yuzhi, I don't have anything to do anyway. I'll help you watch it for a while. Please come back soon."

Hongliu put down the embroidery in her hands and stepped forward.

"Good sister, you are the best. I will be back soon." Yuzhi held Hongliu's hand.

Hongliu took a small palm-leaf fan and gently fanned the stove.

When everything was quiet, she calmed herself down and took out the paper bag from her chest.

She looked around first, then hurriedly put all the powder in the paper bag into it.

Then, reach in with a spoon and stir it.

She didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she saw all the powder dissolved in the bird's nest.

Just now, her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

She was about to throw the paper bag into the fire when a hand snatched it away from behind.

"Pa!" A slap hit her hard on the face.

"So it was you, little bastard, who betrayed your master!" Jinzhi's eyes were about to spit fire.

Hongliu was stunned. She turned around and found that Shen Yunjin, Jinzhiyuzhi, and Cuiliu were all looking at her from behind.

Her legs went weak and she fell to her knees with a plop.

Shen Yunjin signaled Jinzhi to carry the person into the house.

Jinzhi walked up to Hongliu, grabbed her hair and dragged her into the house.

"Tell me, what did you put there just now? Who told you to put it there?"

Hongliu bit her lips tightly and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Do you think I won't know if you don't tell me? I can find out what it is by asking a doctor to examine it. I'm just giving you a chance by asking you now."

Hongliu still didn't say anything, but just lay on the ground shivering.

"Jinzhi, take the paper bag and the bird's nest porridge and go to see Doctor Li to see what's inside."

Doctor Li Xiao is the youngest son of Doctor Li, and has inherited the true skills of his father, Doctor Li.

Because Imperial Doctor Li was old, Xiao Minshen asked for Imperial Doctor Li to live in Prince Qi's mansion permanently.

Jinzhi walked out quickly, and Shen Yunjin fell into deep thought.

Hongliu and Cuiliu were maids bought by Shen's mother from outside before she got married.

Because of his experience in his previous life, Shen Yunjin subconsciously only trusts the familiar Jinzhi and Yuzhi.

That day, she just guessed that there might be someone with the princess around.

However, she never expected that this person would be Hongliu who was beside her.

"Concubine Shen, you didn't take the bird's nest porridge, did you?"

A man walked in quickly from outside the door. Even in the cold winter, he was sweating profusely.

Jinzhi was jogging after him.

"I didn't take it. Doctor Li, is there something wrong with this medicine?" Shen Yunjin came back to his senses.

"This medicine is extremely cold. If a pregnant woman takes it, she will not only have a miscarriage, but will also suffer heavy bleeding and eventually endanger her life."

"Where did Concubine get this medicine? This is a banned drug, and ordinary people can't buy it."

"Thank you for the reminder, Imperial Doctor Li. I understand. Yuzhi, send Imperial Doctor Li for me."

Doctor Li then saw the maid kneeling on the ground and made a rough guess.

As doctors, they spent a lot of time in and out of wealthy families and had seen all kinds of shady practices in the inner quarters.

He bowed his hands and followed Yuzhi out the door.

"Madame Li, take the man away and let me beat him until he speaks."

Since they want her life, she doesn't need to show any mercy.

Nanny Li waved her hand and two sturdy old women came up, each taking one of the two red willows out.

"Master, I was wrong. Please spare my life for the sake of my service to you!"

"Shut her mouth and drag her away!" Jinzhi gritted her teeth in hatred.

The sound of sticks soon came from the yard.

After a while, Nanny Li came in and said, "Master, she confessed."

Just as Shen Yunjin guessed, Hongliu went to the princess.

The reason for drugging her was because the princess promised her that if she succeeded, she would be promoted to be the concubine of the King of Qi.

"Keep beating me. I want to see if her new master will come to save her now that she is about to die."

Shen Yunjin became ruthless and wanted to kill her, but it was impossible!

"Jinzhi, go see if the prince is in the mansion. If he is, invite him over."

Xiao Minshen had an appointment with his staff to discuss something today and returned to the palace early.

He had just sat down with his staff when he heard Fulu say that Jinzhi, who was beside Shen Yunjin, was coming over.

"Your Highness, I would like to ask you to come over for a moment. I have something to discuss with you." Jinzhi bowed.

"Did your concubine tell me what the matter is? If it's not urgent, I'll come over after I finish my work here."

"Your Highness, you'd better go and take a look. Someone wants to harm the baby in the concubine's belly!" Jinzhi knelt on the ground.

Xiao Minshen was so shocked that he stood up from the stool.

"Who is so bold?"
