Chapter 1278 One Plot After Another

“Is there really someone in the study?” Infanta Yuan’an asked with a gloomy face. The incident about Qi Rongzhi had nothing to do with her. At most, she uncovered their secret in the beginning. That night, Chu Liuzhou especially praised her and rested in her place. Infanta Yuan’an was complacent about it. Unexpectedly, she was slapped hard by Chu Liuzhou the next day.

In tears, Infanta Yuan’an said she wanted to return to the Ruiping Great Elder Princess’s Mansion. But the person she sent over came back with the persuasion from Ruiping Great Elder Princess. She told Infanta Yuan’an that it was not a big deal for a couple to quarrel with each other. At such a critical time, she should work in concert with Prince Zhou.

Ruiping Great Elder Princess was well-informed. Chu Liuyue had delivered a blow to Chu Liuzhou, and Infanta Yuan’an was also involved. Hearing this, Ruiping Great Elder Princess sent a few suggestions to Infanta Yuan’an. Later, Infanta Yuan’an was asked to stay in the mansion in case she made a fool of herself.

After the person from the Ruiping Great Elder Princess’s Mansion left, Infanta Yuan’an had no one to support her, so she had to swallow the insult.

In the next few days, Chu Liuzhou didn’t come to her courtyard and lived in the study every day. Infanta Yuan’an had sent someone there. Though she didn’t find anything, she always felt a woman lived there.

Today, Chu Liuzhou went to the Palace. Again, she was told that a woman seemed to have appeared in the study. From a distance, she didn’t look like a servant girl who served the writing brush and the ink in the study.

All the people sent to keep an eye on the study would get into trouble. After that incident, Infanta Yuan’an behaved much more obediently. She didn’t send anyone to monitor the study closely. Instead, she asked her people to watch the study from a distance.

“Yes, I saw it clearly just now. There are two women. One looks like a servant girl, and the other is dressed gorgeously. She doesn’t look like a servant girl,” the old maid who stared at them from a distance reported.

“Let’s go and have a look!” Infanta Yuan’an thought for a moment and said.

“My Lady, you’d better not go. His Highness has a bad temper!” Her trusted nurse implicitly reminded her. They hadn’t yet spoken to each other. It couldn’t be good to provoke Prince Zhou at this time. “It’s just a small matter about a woman. Nothing serious. You’d better let it go!”

Her words made Infanta Yuan’an hesitate. The person Ruiping Great Elder Princess sent over also told her to hold on. At this time, she could not irritate Chu Liuzhou.

But she really couldn’t stand it anymore. Gritting her teeth, she suddenly became speechless.

“My Lady, Princess Yuyan is here!” A servant girl came in and reported.

“What’s the matter with her?” Infanta Yuan’an asked grumpily.

“Princess Yuyan said that she has something important to tell you!” the servant girl said.

On second thought, Infanta Yuan’an said, “Let her in!”

She had intended to get the bitch in the study, but she was afraid Chu Liuzhou would explode with rage again. Since Princess Yuyan came, she might as well took this opportunity to suppress her anger. Otherwise, she might mistakenly touch something belonging to Chu Liuzhou and greatly offend him. In the end, she would be in an unfavorable situation.

Princess Yuyan came in quickly. When she entered and saw Infanta Yuan’an, she was all smiles. “Oh, you don’t look well. What happened?”

She stepped forward with a smiling face and sat on the chair next to Infanta Yuan’an.

The servant hurriedly served tea and retreated aside.

“Nothing serious. Maybe I’m not very well today.” Infanta Yuan’an said listlessly. She was in low spirits, and her face was a little pale.

She had been having a hard time recently. She often got angry. How could she feel happy? Initially, she didn’t want to see Infanta Yuan’an.

“Since you’re not feeling well, you must let doctors check your health. I happen to bring some medicinal herbs here. If you need anything, take some. I’ll take the rest to give some to Consort Dowager Qing.” Princess Yuyan said with a smile. She clapped her hands, and two servant girls standing at the door came in, each carrying a brocade box.

Princess Yuyan stood up, walking up to the servant girls. She opened the brocade boxes one by one and asked Infanta Yuan’an to come over and have a look. “Look, there are a lot of them. All of them are precious medicinal materials from the Xu State. I’m afraid you don’t have them here.”

“What… what’s the use of these things?” Infanta Yuan’an asked, casually pointing at a tuberous root in a brocade box. She didn’t know much about medicinal materials. Hearing Princess Yuyan’s introduction, she came over to see them.

“It can regulate your body functions and is particularly good for women. It can also warm the uterus and help women get pregnant.” Princess Yuyan said proudly, “You don’t have this here, and it can only be found in our Xu State. There is not much of it. I wouldn’t share it with you if it weren’t for our good relationship.”

“How to use it?” Infanta Yuan’an was curious about it. Ruiping Great Elder Princess sent someone over and repeatedly reminded her not to be angry with Prince Zhou for such a trivial matter. Instead, she should hurry up and give birth to an eldest legitimate son.

“Grind it into powder and keep it in the pouch on you. It will give out a medicinal fragrance and slowly adjust your physical condition,” Princess Yuyan said.

“Well… There is no need to take it?” Infanta Yuan’an asked in surprise.

“Of course not. You can’t take it. Even though the medicine is good, it should not be taken orally. If you eat it, something bad will happen,” Princess Yuyan replied with a smile.

“What will happen?” Infanta Yuan’an asked with her heart skipping a beat.

“If any woman takes it, she may not feel anything in the beginning, but it will make women infertile. Gradually, the woman will find that she cannot get pregnant. So, never eat it! You should be careful when using it. It has no taste. If you accidentally take it, it will be troublesome.”

Princess Yuyan warned her.

Infanta Yuan’an appeared a little shocked but soon smiled. “How could I take these medicinal materials? Thank you anyway.”

“Don’t mention it. We are of the same family and good friends. There is no need to thank me!” Princess Yuyan said casually. Then, she walked to the second brocade box with a few stalks of grass.

“What… what is it?” Infanta Yuan’an didn’t know the Changxing Grass. Seeing a few stalks of grass carefully placed in the box, she was surprised. No matter how she looked at them, these stalks of grass didn’t look like precious medicinal materials.

“This is… Oh, there is a mistake!” Princess Yuyan blushed, put down the grass in her hand, and quickly closed the brocade box.

“What exactly is this?” Infanta Yuan’an became increasingly curious and reached out to open the brocade box.

“They are really not decent items!” Princess Yuyan pulled Infanta Yuan’an’s hand away with an embarrassed look.

Seeing her like this, Infanta Yuan’an became even more curious. She put down her hand, but her face darkened. “You said we were close, but I don’t think you mean it. You even feel reluctant to show me a few stalks of grass. How can you say that we have a good relationship!”

After that, she turned to leave.

Seeing that she was pissed off, Princess Yuyan anxiously stamped her feet and said, “Okay… I’ll give them to you. They are just ordinary grass, not of the highest quality.”

“I want ordinary ones as well!” Infanta Yuan’an curled her lips and secretly blamed her for being very stingy about sharing her treasures. However, she didn’t show displeasure on her face. “Of course, if you hate to part with them, then forget it. A gentleman does not take something others love!”

“Okay. Give the brocade boxes to Princess Zhou! Leave all the boxes here!” Princess Yuyan ordered loudly. Great! This time, even all the previous medicinal herbs became hers. Infanta Yuan’an, very satisfied with this result, pulled Princess Yuyan to sit down. “How are you doing in the Commandery Prince Qing’s Mansion? Did the woman surnamed Mo bully you?”

“What else could I do? Mo Qiuyi is scheming. She has been bugging Commandery Prince Qing all day long,” Princess Yuyan denounced crossly and even forgot to feel distressed about her brocade boxes with treasures.

“But she is far less beautiful than you!” Infanta Yuan’an said.

“So what? They are childhood sweethearts.” Princess Yuyan looked sullen. “Since I married into the mansion, I have been getting along well with Consort Dowager Qing. But I can hardly be on good terms with Mo Qiuyi!” .com

“Then what should we do?” Infanta Yuan’an frowned and said with sympathy, “After entering the mansion, those cheap women are all shameless. They tried every means to seduce Prince Zhou. Don’t they know their inferior status?”

“That’s right!” Princess Yuyan sighed and said fiercely, “I will drag that bitch Mo Qiuyi down one day. I am the future legal wife of Commandery Prince Qing.”

She used to have many wild ambitions, but since she had married into the Commandery Prince Qing’s Mansion, she could only bind her fate with Chu Qing. What angered her most was Mo Qiuyi. This woman considered herself the legal wife of Commandery Prince Qing. Every day, she put on airs in the mansion without rhyme or reason, as if she were the legal wife.

For the overall situation, she didn’t retort upon her and even came here according to the arrangement of Commandery Prince Qing and her.

Now that everything was done, she stood up and left.

Infanta Yuan’an affectionately sent them to the gate of the mansion. As soon as Princess Yuyan left, Infanta Yuan’an’s face darkened. “Let’s go to the study!”

“My Lady…” The servant girl said fearfully. She tried to stop her but did not dare to do it. This time, the trusted nurse was not around, so no one had the guts to go forward and persuade her.

“Let’s go!” Infanta Yuan’an turned around. She would not give up until she went there and checked it out.

There was a servant at the door of the study. Seeing Infanta Yuan’an coming over, he hurried forward to bow and said, “Greetings, Your Highness. The Prince is now in the Palace.”

That was to say, Chu Liuzhou was not in the room, so Infanta Yuan’an should go back.

“I’m going in to find a few books!” Infanta Yuan’an said coldly.

The servant didn’t dare to make way for her. He looked at her hesitantly and said, “Your Highness, how about you go back and wait for a while? When my master comes back…”

“Drag him away!” Infanta Yuan’an interrupted him and snapped.

Two old maids came over, stood on each side of the servant, and pulled him away. While struggling desperately, the servant shouted at the top of his voice. “Your Highness, my master said the study is an important place and outsiders are not allowed to enter! Please, please spare me. If my master returns, he will kill me!”

“Am I an outsider?” Infanta Yuan’an snorted indignantly. The more flustered the servant was, the more firmly she believed there was something fishy inside. With a deep frown, she took a few steps forward, pushed open the half-closed door, and looked inside — there was no one. Everything in the study was in order, and nothing unusual appeared. However, this was only the outer room.

Infanta Yuan’an asked the others to stay outside the door. Then, with only one servant girl, she took a few steps and walked to the inner chamber’s door. There, she composed herself. This was the place that she had never entered since she got married. Chu Liuzhou’s people handled everything inside it. She could not get anything out of them since they were Chu Liuzhou’s trusted subordinates.

She placed her hand on the door. Gently, she pushed it inward, and it opened in response to her move…
