The princess was fed contraceptive soup on the day of the marriage exchange, and she went crazy

Sheng Nanzhi raised her eyebrows slightly: "Mo Tao? Didn't she go to serve Li Yueru?"

"She shouldn't have been gone for long, right? She's already gained Li Yueru's trust. She sent a message, but what's the important matter?"

Shuanghan said quickly, "We are afraid of Li Yueru's suspicion. Our people have arranged for Mo Tao to serve in Li Yueru's courtyard, but not in her room, as instructed by your princess."

"Li Yueru is also suspicious. Mo Tao hasn't had much contact with Li Yueru yet."

"But she sent a message saying that Li Yueru was strolling in the courtyard the day before yesterday and said that the flowers in the garden were sparse and not very pretty. She asked the housekeeper to arrange for nearly a thousand pots of flowers to be sent to the mansion and planted in the gardens around the backyard."

Sheng Nanzhi narrowed her eyes slightly. "This isn't a rare thing. Every once in a while, someone will replace the flowers and plants in the mansion. If there's a wedding or a flower viewing banquet going on, nearly a thousand pots of flowers might not be enough."

"Mo Tao wouldn't have sent someone to report such a small matter to me. Could it be...that there's something wrong with the new flowers and plants?"

Shuanghan was surprised by Sheng Nanzhi's sharpness: "Mo Tao said that those flowers don't look special, but the problem is that we just had a wedding more than a month ago and bought a lot of flowers to decorate every place in the mansion."

More than a month ago, she and Sheng Yunrou got married on the same day.

At that time, it was Sheng Yunrou who was originally scheduled to get married, so although it was hasty, Li Yueru was naturally very concerned about Sheng Yunrou's marriage.

All the necessary arrangements have been made.

When you think about it this way, it does seem a bit strange.

How come it's thinning again after just over a month? Why do I need to change it again?

"Mo Tao said this is just one of the strange things."

"Another strange thing is that the flowers usually delivered to the mansion are mostly of rare and gorgeous varieties, but this time, there are many that she has never seen before. They don't look luxurious either. It is quite different from Li Yueru's previous preferences, so she paid more attention to them."

Sheng Nanzhi narrowed her eyes. This was also true.

She had noticed the flowers in Sheng Mansion before. Most of them were peonies, followed by peonies, chrysanthemums, etc. There were occasionally some orchids, but very few.

But whether it is peony, chrysanthemum or orchid, most of them are precious varieties.

She even asked out of curiosity, and the answer she got was that these were all the Madam's favorites.

Mo Tao has been serving Li Yueru for a long time and knows Li Yueru's preferences very well. Since she feels it is strange, there must be something wrong.

"Please have our people pay attention to the flowers and plants that have just been delivered to the Sheng Mansion."

"Draw all the new flowers and plants that are brought into the Sheng Mansion and send them to me."

Shuanghan immediately responded: "Yes."

Her people were also quick to act. The next morning, Sheng Nanzhi received the painting sent from the Sheng Mansion.

"It is said that the Sheng Mansion sent twelve varieties of flowers to the mansion this time. They are all here."

Sheng Nanzhi took the painting and finally understood why Mo Tao felt strange.

The flowers that were recently delivered to the mansion are of completely different styles from the peonies, peonies, chrysanthemums, etc. that Li Yueru liked before.

Most of the flowers that Li Yueru liked before were extremely large and looked elegant and luxurious.

This time, the flowers are mostly medium or relatively small, and mostly bloom in clusters. They are beautiful, but to use Li Yueru's previous words, they are a bit petty.

Sheng Nanzhi didn't know much about flowers. She looked through it but didn't find any clues.

"Go to a place that sells flowers and ask someone to help me."

"Don't take them all to the same house. Separate them. Each person takes one and asks. After you find out, write down your name. Then..."

Sheng Nanzhi fumbled with the painting in her hand: "Then go to the medicine shop and ask about the medicinal effects of these flowers, write them down on the painting, and bring them back to me."

"Yes."

In the afternoon, frost and cold came hurriedly.

"These flowers contain saffron."

Shuanghan took out a painting from his sleeve and handed it to Sheng Nanzhi: "Princess, look, this is it."

Sheng Nanzhi glanced at the purple flowers and frowned, "Why do I remember that saffron doesn't look like this? Aren't they red stripes? The characteristics are very obvious."

Shuanghan quickly said, "No one in the Imperial City grows saffron, and almost no one has ever seen what real saffron looks like. But the owner of the flower garden said that saffron looks like this. What we see every day, used to make incense or as medicine, is actually the stamens of the saffron."

Shuanghan pointed at the red stamens in the middle of the purple flower and said, "This is it. This is the saffron we see every day."

Sheng Nanzhi's eyes fell on the saffron, and he couldn't help but sneered: "I see."

"No wonder Li Yueru went to such great lengths to target us, mother and daughter."

Saffron can cause miscarriage.

In the Sheng Mansion, Concubine Liu is now pregnant.

Among those who occasionally returned to the Sheng Mansion, she was also pregnant. Sheng Qingqian also announced to the public that she was pregnant.

No matter which of them lost the baby in her belly, Li Yueru would definitely be very happy.

After all, saffron does not cause any harm to normal people.

Sheng Nanzhi's eyes were cold. The emperor's poisoning incident had come to an end, and Sheng Yunrou was not implicated, so Li Yueru was free again and had the mind to deal with them.

It seems that we still can't let her have too much free time.

"Send the message out and arrange for two outstanding-looking prostitutes to be sent to my father on some pretext."

"My father, who is known for his philandering nature, seems to have not taken in any new concubines for some time."

"It's time to pay it."

"Find someone to make a medicine that will make the symptoms and pulse look like a miscarriage, send it to the Sheng Mansion, give it to Mo Tao, and ask her to find a way to put it in Li Yueru's food."

Since Li Yueru wants to plot against them, let her have a taste of retribution.

"Arrange a carriage to go back to the mansion to find my aunt. Tell her that I've been feeling unwell and depressed lately, and ask her to stay with me for two days. Before you go find my aunt, inform my father first."

Sheng Lin has been paying more attention to her recently, and he cares even more about the baby in her belly. Sheng Lin should not refuse such a request.

As long as Sheng Lin agreed, even if Aunt Liu was unwilling in her heart, there was no way she would refuse Sheng Lin's request.

"Yes."

Everything went according to Sheng Nanzhi's arrangements.

In the afternoon, Aunt Liu brought two maids to Prince Yi's Mansion and went straight to her attic.

"Nanzhi, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable in your stomach? Have you seen a doctor?"

Sheng Nanzhi's face was pale as she shook her head. "The doctor has examined him, and he's fine. It's just that every day I see the prince lying motionless on the bed, becoming increasingly thin. When I think of the child in my belly being born without a father's love, I feel really sad."
