The naive concubine is only interested in being a bad person. Your Majesty, please change your favor

Concubine Shu was very frightened, and then she came up with an idea:

"Queen Dowager, I feel that keeping Jiang Wange is always a hidden danger. Why not find an opportunity to have her assassinated? Regardless of whether Your Majesty will favor other concubines in the future, at least without her, the current balance will not be disrupted."

It was really difficult for Concubine Shu to say such a thing given her intelligence. She was really desperate and was afraid that the Empress Dowager would abandon her before her family did.

"Oh? Then have you thought of any way to get rid of her directly?" The Queen Mother became interested when she heard her words and asked.

"I will have someone pass a letter to father, asking him to send someone to the palace to help me. Queen Mother, don't worry."

Upon hearing this, the empress dowager said nothing more and waved her hand, signaling Concubine Shu to leave.

After Concubine Shu left Ci'an Palace, she immediately asked her maid Lian Qiao to go out of the palace.

Xianfu Palace——

Xiahou Xuan stayed with Jiang Wange the whole day and did not go anywhere. In the evening, the queen mother sent someone to bring a bowl of lotus seed soup, saying that it was to comfort Jiang Liangyuan's frightened heart yesterday.

"This slave has met Your Majesty."

"What are you doing here?" Xiahou Xuan glanced at the palace maid and said coldly.

"Your Majesty, I am here at the Queen Mother's order to bring Jiang Liangyuan some lotus seed soup to clear away heat and relieve summer heat."

Hearing this, Xiahou Xuan and Jiang Wange both looked at the bowl of lotus seed soup held by the palace maid, and both felt that the Queen Mother had ill intentions.

"Put down the lotus seed soup and go back to report." Xiahou Xuan said lightly.

"But the Queen Mother ordered me to watch Jiang Liangyuan drink it with my own eyes, so as not to disappoint the Queen Mother's kindness..."

The palace maid was also stupid and said directly what the Queen Mother had told her to do.

Jiang Wange couldn't help laughing, then took the bowl of lotus seed soup and drank it all.

"Okay, now that I've finished drinking, you can go back and report."

"Yes, the slaves retire."

The maid took the empty bowl back to report to the Queen Mother.

"Are you crazy? Spit it out quickly! What good thing could the Queen Mother send you? What if it's poisoned?" Xiahou Xuan hurriedly urged Jiang Wange to spit out the contraceptive soup he had just drunk.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I guess this should be a bowl of lotus seed soup that has the same effect as contraceptive soup. It's not poisonous."

When Xiahou Xuan heard that it was "contraceptive soup", he became even more angry.

"Spit it out."

"I've already drunk it, why am I spitting it out?"

"you......"

"Oh, okay, Your Majesty. In fact, if the Queen Mother hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have remembered this. If you ask me to sleep with you in the future, remember to prepare this thing in advance. I don't want to get pregnant unexpectedly."

When Xiahou Xuan heard this, his face turned pale.

What was she thinking? She wanted him to prepare contraceptive soup for her and abort their child? Was he crazy?!

"Medicine is poisonous to the body. Do you think drinking this is good for your health?"

Sometimes Xiahou Xuan really wanted to pry open Jiang Wange's brain to see what was inside? Did he drink the contraceptive soup as sugar water?

"Then what if I get pregnant?" Jiang Wange asked back unhappily.

"If you're pregnant, just give birth to the baby. It's not like I can't afford to raise it."

Xiahou Xuan didn't consider other factors at all. He just thought that if she was really pregnant, he would definitely protect her and the child well. If it was a prince, he could make him the crown prince directly. If it was a princess, it was okay too, he would definitely treat her like the apple of his eye!

But to Jiang Wange, these words sounded extremely irresponsible.

"Your Majesty, that's easy to say. Is having a child just a matter of talking?"

It’s not that she doesn’t like children, but she will leave the palace sooner or later. If she gives birth to the child, Xiahou Xuan will definitely not let her take the child away, and she will definitely be reluctant to do so.

"Tell me what you are worried about and I will help you solve it. Anyway, drinking contraceptive soup won't work." Xiahou Xuan's attitude was very firm.

Fortunately, Xiahou Xuan showed a communicative attitude, which made Jiang Wange feel that the matter could still be discussed and did not reach a dead end.

"Suppose I get pregnant and give birth to the child, then if I leave the palace one day, can you let me take the child with me?"

"No, this is the heir to the throne. He must stay in the palace and be raised. How can I let you take him out of the palace?"

"That's it. Why should I leave the baby I gave birth to with you? If I had a child, I would definitely want to raise him by his side. I wouldn't want to be separated from him."

"Didn't you say before that you would do some small business in the capital after leaving the palace? If you want to have a child, you can come to the palace to see the child, and I won't stop you. How about it?"

"Well...it seems that you can put it that way, but..."

"Don't worry, Jiang Wange. I won't allow you to do anything that would harm your body. If you really don't want to get pregnant, I will ask the imperial physician if there is any way to avoid it. You don't have to worry about this matter." Xiahou Xuan said calmly.

Since she doesn't want a child yet, he naturally won't force her, but he also won't let her drink any kind of aphrodisiac soup. As for how to avoid getting pregnant, he will ask the imperial physician.

Xiahou Xuan's words made Jiang Wange feel relieved. At least, the way he handled the problem made Jiang Wange happy.

Two days later, in the Royal Study of Longyin Palace——

"Why did you call me back in such a hurry? I'm living well in Anhe County, Qingzhou. You called me back so suddenly that I don't have time to deal with many things!"

Wen Yilan complained to Xiahou Xuan in annoyance.

Wen Yilan, who was born into a medical family, is the current director of the Imperial Medical Bureau. He is also Xiahou Xuan's childhood playmate. When the two of them get along privately, there is no distinction between the ruler and the subject.

"You have been in Anhe County? Do you know Anhe County Magistrate Jiang Huaiyuan?"

When Xiahou Xuan heard Wen Yilan mention Anhe County, he subconsciously thought of Jiang Wange. She had been away from home for so long, and she must miss the situation at home very much.

"Of course I know, my father-in-law! Why are you asking this? Did my father-in-law get into trouble?" Wen Yilan asked curiously.

"Your father-in-law? How many daughters does Jiang Huaiyuan have?"

Xiahou Xuan frowned. If he remembered correctly, Jiang Huaiyuan only had one daughter, and she was now Jiang Liangyuan in his palace.

"My father-in-law has only one daughter, but she is very precious to him. We got married in Anhe County, and I brought her back to Beijing when I returned this time." Wen Yilan said happily.

Hearing this, Xiahou Xuan's face looked very ugly.

"What's your wife's name?"

"Jiang Wanyi, isn't this a nice name? Not only is the name nice, but my wife is also very beautiful. I'll show you some other day, but my wife is a little timid, so don't scare her."

Many possibilities flashed through Xiahou Xuan's mind, but the only thing he didn't think of was that Wen Yilan's wife was Jiang Wanyi, the only daughter of Jiang Huaiyuan.

"Are you sure that Jiang Huaiyuan only has one daughter named Jiang Wanyi and no other daughter named Jiang Wange?"

Xiahou Xuan asked him coldly, raising his eyes to look at Wen Yilan, his gaze cold and deep.
