Bai Yu felt a little guilty.

After all, she was the one who invited the person.

Moreover, she had already anticipated what kind of situation Xie Yu would face after arriving today. If she had mediated in advance, or simply gone to greet Xie Yu when he arrived, there wouldn't be so many people talking about Xie Yu and Ning Jin directly to Xie Yu's face without any hesitation.

But she had already made her choice when she sent the invitation letter to Xie Yu as requested by Li Shu.

In response to Li Shen's words, she simply replied calmly, "As the host, if a guest encounters an accident at my banquet, I must take responsibility. However, Third Young Master Li, I will tell my prince everything you said word for word."

Li Shen snorted, turned around and strode away.

Bai Yu frowned slightly as he looked at his back, then turned and instructed the people around him, "Go to the Imperial Hospital in my name and ask a few doctors to come to the Zhenbei General's Mansion to see Miss Xie."

"Yes."

After someone answered and left, Bai Yu smiled and looked at the guests around her. Just as she was about to say something to lighten the mood, she heard her mother-in-law say, "Although Li Shen has been a troublemaker since he was young, often causing trouble for their precious sister, he seems to have become even more impulsive and reckless after returning from the battlefield, and his words have become even more outspoken. Did he suffer some kind of trauma on the battlefield, or perhaps a serious head injury?"

"From my perspective, they weren't shocked or had a severe head injury. Instead, they were bewitched by Xie Yu and treated her as their precious sister!

Think about it carefully. More than ten years ago, when their mother had just passed away, when the brother and sister appeared in public at the same time, didn't Li Shu always hide timidly behind them?

Back then, little Li Shu was so chubby and soft, so adorable that everyone wanted to touch her and tease her. But Li Shen and his brothers protected her like the apple of their eye, and would get angry with anyone they met. Ning Jin had to endure many beatings and scoldings from them before he could even get along with them!

"Yes, I remember now. I once deliberately teased little Li Shu just to see how angry the brothers were! Alas, who would have thought that they would treat Xie Yu, a girl of unknown origin, as their precious child. For Xie Yu, I don't know how many times they've made their sister cry!"

"Speaking of which, ever since Xie Yu came to the capital, I've seen Li Shu being scolded and wailed by them or Ning Jin no less than ten times! Luckily, the Princess brought Li Shu to the warm room as soon as she arrived because she had just had a miscarriage. Otherwise, Li Shen wouldn't have just been lashing out at the Princess, but at Li Shu instead!"

"Alas! They will regret it one day or another! Let's continue admiring the flowers."

After Princess Cheng said this, she gave Bai Yu a look and led the guests to continue appreciating the flowers.

Bai Yu was deeply grateful.

Ten years ago, after her father-in-law died while shielding the emperor from an arrow when he was assassinated, her mother-in-law moved into a Buddhist temple and spent her days eating vegetarian food and worshipping Buddha, rarely going out.

I showed up today to support her.

It also helped her to ease the atmosphere.

She was secretly thinking about making some of her mother-in-law's favorite vegetarian snacks and sending them to the Buddhist temple when a little maid ran up to her, panting.

It's in front of Xie Yu...

Flowing heart?

Just as Bai Yu remembered Liu Xin's name, Liu Xin held up a dark red brocade box in front of her, "Princess Cheng, this is from my young lady. I originally wanted to find an opportunity to hand it over to you personally, but..."

At the end of the words, Liu Xin stopped talking as if he was about to say something.

Bai Yu immediately signaled the people around him to take the brocade box, and then asked, "Is your young lady awake?"

"Yes, the young lady woke up not long after the Third Young Master carried her out. However, she felt that it was too embarrassing for her to faint in public, and it must have caused trouble for the Princess. She was too embarrassed to come back, so she asked me to help deliver the gift she prepared for the Princess."

"..."

Bai Yu glanced at Liu Xin and was about to ask someone to reward Liu Xin, but Liu Xin turned around and ran away.

She shook her head in amusement and turned back to the warm room.

Li Shu was still sitting on the cushion, holding a cup of steaming rose milk tea in her hand.

Chi Jianxi and her daughter, who had been with her in the warm room with Li Shu, were gone.

When she got closer, Li Shu raised her head and said to her with a smile, "I asked Chi's mother and daughter to go appreciate the plum blossoms."

"Why don't you go out and take a look? The more than ten pots of plum blossoms my prince bought at a high price are in no way inferior to the ones the Empress had previously shown to others. And I remember you missed the Empress's plum blossom viewing banquet because you caught a cold after falling into the water."

"No, my miscarriage frightened the maids and nannies around me. If I get cold again today, they will be worried for a long time."

"That was my inconsiderateness. I shouldn't have posted to you at this time."

"No, it's okay. Being able to walk around a bit helps change my mood. So I'm very happy to receive your invitation."

"I'm relieved when you say that! And it seems you're not going to speak up for Xie Yu and his servant today? In the past, not only did Liu Xin just call herself 'I' in front of me, but she ran off before I could even say anything. Without anyone else saying anything, you would have rushed to defend them!"

"..."

Li Shu smiled and lowered her head. "The tea in your house is so delicious that I didn't even pay attention to the outside world."

Seeing that she didn't want to talk more about the master and servant, Bai Yu took the dark red brocade box from the maid beside her and said, "Go and get a box of roses for making tea today."

"Yes."

After the maidservant responded and left, Bai Yu sat down opposite Li Shu and opened the brocade box.

In the past, Li Shu and Bai Yu's relationship was just a greeting when they met at various banquets.

This is the first time we have sat alone face to face like this.

So when Li Shu saw Bai Yu opening the gift from Xie Yu right in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a little concerned.

But she did not look at what was in the brocade box. Instead, she lowered her head and continued drinking tea.

Soon she heard Bai Yu say in a tone that sounded a bit surprised and a bit unhappy: "A medicine to cure infertility? And they say it has miraculous effects and can definitely make people pregnant?"

Since she had said it directly, Li Shu didn't need to worry about anything anymore. She looked up and saw three black pills in the brocade box.

Bai Yu was holding a piece of paper in his hand.

I think it was placed in a brocade box.

Bai Yu chuckled, threw the paper into the charcoal basin beside him and burned it. He then looked at the pills in the brocade box and said, "If I had received this kind of medicine a few years ago, even if I didn't believe it, I would have taken one immediately to try it. But now..."

Bai Yu stopped talking before he finished speaking, which made Li Shu particularly concerned.

Because as far as she knew, after Prince Cheng got married, he took in no less than ten concubines, but neither the Princess of Cheng nor those concubines gave birth to a son or daughter for Prince Cheng.

Judging from Bai Yu's tone, she should not be pregnant at the moment.

Is it possible...

The problem is not with Bai Yu and those concubines, but with Prince Cheng?

But in that case, wouldn't it be better to let Prince Cheng take the medicine?

Li Shu was thinking about this secretly when Bai Yu suddenly closed the brocade box and placed it in front of her. He lowered his voice and said to her, "As long as the current emperor is on the throne, our prince will never have children. Therefore, I cannot use this medicine. Find a chance to return it to Xie Yu for me."

Li Shu was secretly shocked.

As long as the emperor is on the throne, it is impossible for Prince Cheng to have children?

What does it mean?

And is this something that can be discussed in terms of their relationship?

However, she did understand why Bai Yu gave her the thing and asked her to return it to Xie Yu.

She simply wanted to use her to tell Xie Yu that she, the Princess of Cheng County, would not associate with anyone who had a bad relationship with her, Li Shu.

At the same time, this is also a gesture of goodwill to her.

But why?

What can she bring to Prince Cheng’s Mansion?

At this time, outside the Prince Cheng's Mansion, in the carriage of the Zhenbei General's Mansion, Xie Yu, who had just overdrawn a thousand points to exchange for the Multiplication and Fortune Pills, was being muttered by the system.
