Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 788 - 786

Chapter 788: Chapter 786

On his return home, Shangguan Xuanyi told Xiao’er about what had happened with Shangguan Ruixi.

Unable to help herself, Xiao’er laughed so hard her stomach hurt, "The Princess of Prince An is indeed very talented!"

Giving her own son an aphrodisiac, locking all the doors and windows, and sealing them completely! Having her own son consummate his marriage with his wife - this was something unprecedented in all of history.

"Did we find out who poisoned Yijin?" It had been a few days since the incident and she had been out of the Marquis Mansion early and coming back late to help balance the accounts. Shangguan Xuanyi had also been out early and returning late due to the emperor’s birthday celebration, so she had forgotten to ask.

"Yes, we found out it was done by a maid of Ruixi. When the investigation led to her, she committed suicide by biting her tongue and the lead stopped there. But it should have been someone from Nangong Country. Gong Qinghua definitely had something to do with it."

"So it seems the Crown Prince of Nangong was seriously wounded or poisoned beyond cure and they assumed that he was doomed. But the pill I gave to the princess ended up saving the Crown Prince of Nangong’s life, so some people have shown interest in my pill!"

Such a life-saving pill would interest anyone who knew about it, a fact that didn’t surprise Xiao’er at all.

If she had only given out one or two pills, people would assume that such a pill was indeed hard to find and must have been made with rare and precious medicinal ingredients. But Xiao’er had given out too many pills, inadvertently leading others to a misperception: that such pills could be made in large quantities and perhaps the ingredients involved weren’t that hard to find.

Who wouldn’t want to know what ingredients were used to make the pill and how it was made?

Everyone only has one life, and who wouldn’t want to have a life-saving pill with them to save their life!

From the day she started giving out the pills, Xiao’er knew that a day like this would come when someone would show interest in her pills and possibly even cause trouble for her.

But God had given her a space and if she had to worry about this or that and had too many concerns, she felt life would be too restricted and it would be a waste of the space’s capabilities.

Because the space really did have more things than she could use, more than her family could use, and helping more people could also level it up.

She had the backing of a whole country behind her, and all she needed to do was to continuously improve her abilities. Even if others knew that she had valuable items, what did it matter? As long as they hadn’t seen her space with their own eyes, who could guess what she really owned?

She believed that as long as she was strong enough, she would be able to protect all the good things she had.

Of course, it would be better to have less trouble and she would not flaunt what she had, but neither would she shrink back out of fear that her space would be discovered.

...

The next afternoon, Xiao’er personally went to the Prince An mansion and delivered a bottle of pills to Du Yijin, enough for a month’s treatment. Once consumed, her cold womb condition would be completely cured.

Du Yijin had received Xiao’er’s donated medicine before, and her brother’s asthma had been cured by Xiao’er’s medicine. She had previously sought medical help everywhere for her brother, but none of the countless medications she tried could cure him. However, after taking Xiao’er’s medicine, he was cured, so she knew how valuable Xiao’er’s medicine was.

"Princess Rui, I can’t accept this, I can just slowly recuperate from this cold womb condition with the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, don’t waste such precious pills." Du Yijin politely declined, thinking that such pills should be used to cure diseases that even the imperial doctor couldn’t handle.

This time, she fell ill and it was Xiao’er’s medicine that saved her life.

"You should call me ’Sixth Imperial Sister-in-law’ now. Take it! If you don’t take this pill, the heir may have to find me the next time he takes Hehuan Powder! That could lead to major trouble!"

Du Yijin puzzledly looked at Xiao’er after hearing this. What did she mean by saying that the heir went to find her after taking Hehuan Powder?

She recalled that when she woke up, Shangguan Ruixi had told her that he had been drugged and couldn’t control himself. So, the heir went to find Princess Rui right after his dose last night? No wonder he was taken back by the prince, thrown in front of her, and then the Princess had all the doors and windows sealed shut!

Seeing Du Yijin’s expression, Xiao’er knew she had misunderstood and proceeded to explain the events of the previous day.

When Du Yijin thought about the comedy of errors Shangguan Ruixi had caused last night, the reason for it was because her body was temporarily unable to conceive. He didn’t dare consummate the marriage with her and had to get the antidote from Xiao’er instead.

All of a sudden, Du Yijin felt that last night’s pain was worth it.

She knew that Shangguan Ruixi had a maid in the mansion and he could have sought her out to address the situation, but he didn’t do that. Instead, he went to Xiao’er for the antidote. Du Yijin inexplicably felt joyous because of his course of action.

After delivering the pills to Du Yijin, Xiao’er went to find Shangguan Wanru.

Just as Xiao’er was leaving Du Yijin’s courtyard, Shangguan Ruixi returned. Upon learning that Xiao’er had delivered some pills, he asked, "Has the Sixth Imperial Sister-in-law sent the pills over?"

"Yes." Du Yijin nodded.

"Have you taken any?"

"No. I can’t bear to consume them. The medicine from Princess Rui is very effective. My brother’s asthma was cured by her donated medicine. I can be cured of this cold womb condition with regular medical treatment. I don’t want to waste such a good medicine."

After hearing this, Shangguan Ruixi went to the cabinet, found the bottle of medicine, and found the new bottle of pills in a drawer designated for storing all sorts of spare medicines.

"Is this the bottle of pills that the Sixth Imperial Sister-in-law gave you?"

Looking up, Du Yijin nodded.

Shangguan Ruixi poured a pill into his hand and offered it to her, "Is it to be taken three times a day, one pill each time?"

"No, it’s one pill a day." Du Yijin did not take the pill, "Heir, I can take the imperial doctor’s medicine. I can also recover by doing so."

"But I can’t stand it any longer, Yijin. I want you. I want you and our children. I don’t want to have to take cold showers every night for the next year! It’s really hard to stand, especially now that I’ve already failed! Don’t you think that’s too cruel to me?"

Du Yijin: "..."

For some reason, Du Yijin suddenly understood what he meant by wanting her. Her face couldn’t help but turn red: "I understand. I will take them."

...

With the maid leading the way, Xiao’er arrived at Shangguan Wanru’s courtyard.

Shangguan Wanru warmly invited her to sit down.

Xiao’er looked around the room and noted, "This place hasn’t changed at all since before you were married."

"Indeed, the Princess has it cleaned every day." It felt great to still have a place in her mother’s home.

"Princess, remember, your childhood home will always be your home. The people who have cared for you and helped you grow up would never harm you. We are your strong backing and will always be there to help you! You don’t have to compromise yourself in Nangong Country. We of Minze Country are not inferior to them! If they dare to bully you, we will cut off their rice crops and choke their food supply. Let’s see if they don’t treat you like a deity."

Shangguan Wanru couldn’t help laughing after hearing this, "What’s this about treating me like a deity? You’re too dramatic! Okay, I understand what you mean. My father and I have analyzed this, I understand."

Seeing that her expression wasn’t feigned, Xiao’er knew she had gotten through and breathed a sigh of relief.
