Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Princess, how did you come across this herbal dish?”

Qin Yi asked as she remembered about the herbal soup which helped her heal at such astonishing speed.

Feng Ruqing rubbed the tip of her nose. She was about to pin the contribution onto someone else’s back but since she has already admitted to being the one who came up with this herbal recipe, it was a little difficult to shake it off her back now.

“Aunt, I found this recipe by accident. I was bored and I decided to experiment with herbal dishes. I accidentally added herbs into the meal and coincidentally, I had a flu that day. So, I decided to try it and it cured me. From that day onward, I researched a little more on the preparation of herbal dishes.”

Feng Ruqing was silent for a brief moment before continuing, “It’s just that, in the past, the impact of the finding wasn’t that huge of a deal. Therefore I didn’t bother informing other people about it. Now that I am almost done with the research, I have nothing to hide from both of you anymore.”

Qin Yi’s brow furrowed and with a harsh tone she spoke, “Princess, how could you add herbs into a meal? It was your good luck that nothing happened. What if you were careless? What would have happened to you?”

‘This girl dreams big, and took a bold move. Without any prior knowledge of herbs, she took a bet.’

It seems that Qin Yi was indeed lucky. No matter how much she hated Feng Ruqing, she would never want anything bad to happen to her.

Luckily Empress Nalan was protecting her from the shadows.

“Aunt, I know you’re worried about me but I am really fine. Look at me, am I not alright?”

Feng Ruqing smiled joyfully.

“But from my observations, Aunt seems to be overworked recently. You looked worn out. Maybe one day I’ll research on a herbal dish that can rejuvenate your beauty.”

Qin Yi’s face was stiff. Did she just worry about Feng Ruqing? She was just… Most probably it was because of the relationship between then empress and the Nalan family, that was why she was worried about her.

“Aunt, Aunt Yao’s infertility was caused by fetal poisoning right?”

After Feng Ruqing entered the room, she inspected Wei Pinyao’s body. Her infertility was caused by the poison she received when she was still in her mother’s womb. The accumulated toxicity in the uterus could not be removed which led to her the inability to conceive a child.

Even if she were capable of giving birth, in her current condition, her body could not endure it.

“It is indeed pregnancy poisoning.”

This is no secret to the three major families and the perpetrator has already been executed. Somehow, Qin Yi had a feeling that the perpetrator was only a pawn. The person behind the poisoning must be someone else.

“Aunt, you should be glad that Aunt Yao can’t get pregnant.”

“…”

Qin Yi was taken aback. With narrowed eyes she asked, “What do you mean, Princess? It is a very painful thing that Pinyao can’t get pregnant, why should I be grateful for such a curse?”

“Because…”

Feng Ruqing glanced at Wei Pinyao gently.

“Judging by the love that Uncle Xun has for Aunt Yao, he will definitely want to conceive a child with her. But the pregnancy can be dangerous to Aunt Yao due to the poison and her current physique. Giving birth would be a bigger problem!”

Liu Yun Kingdom’s medicinal knowledge was too little. One small mistake would be sufficient to take Wei Pinyao’s Life. That’s why it was good that she couldn’t conceive.

Wei Pinyao smiled and said, “Even if I have to suffer and endanger my life, I will want to give birth to a child for him.”

Qin Yi was silent.

Feng Ruqing stated the truth. Pinyao would be putting her life at risk if she were to try to conceive a child. It was indeed fortunate that she was infertile.

“Aunt Yao, you don’t have to be disheartened. I’ll give you the recipe. Just remember to boil the soup every day according to the recipe. Try to recover your physique first then we’ll think of a way to solve the fetal poisoning issue.”
