The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
7. Fertility Herbs
Concubine Su's gaze made Lu Jing Yu cold behind her back inexplicably. Though this woman in front of him was clearly smiling brightly without any trace of ill will in it. But his smile was like he was intimidating her. Threatened him.
Meanwhile Pei Zhan Xi was just silent at the side looking at the behavior of his mother who was sowing her net. Although she is quite intelligent on an ordinary day, in front of her biological mother she will not be able to guess what is in her mother's beautiful brain that always rotates quickly and unexpectedly.
"If you like I will ask Aunt Gu to deliver this drink every day to your king Rui residence. How about that? Isn't that a good idea?" Concubine Su blinked twice as she was seducing the young couple in front of her.
"no need. Isn't this just a drink? Not that in the residence of the Rui king there was no drink. If you really want us to drink it every day, you can just tell the ingredients and the kitchen of King Rui will prepare it every day according to your orders. No need to bother Aunt Gu."
"It's not just any drink. It is a health herb to maintain the body's endurance. You see this mother who despite being old is still healthy fit and energized. It's all because your mother's been drinking this health potion since she was young. This is actually a secret potion. So I can't just give you the recipe." After all if I tell you the recipe, with this intelligence of my son will be able to easily guess what potion I made for them right? Of course it's unacceptable. Concubine Su continued her sentence inwardly.
"King Rui's residence is quite far from the palace. Aunt Gu is old now. It would be very tiring if you had to go every day just for drinks." Pei Zhang Xi still has not given up. If his mother forced him to give him a drink, of course the drink was not as simple as it seemed. Must be his mom planning something up his sleeve.
"alright. If not Aunt Gu there is another servant. And you must drink it until it is finished. I'll order the waiter to watch you two drink that. I don't want to be deceived." Consort Su pursed her lips and turned her face away in annoyance. Giving the feeling that he was being persecuted and making everyone not bear to reject him.
"Stop acting. Your acting is getting worse and worse, ma'am. Is the Emperor's father still fooled by your innocent face?" Pei Zhan Xi's. He glanced at his mother cruelly. Lu Jing Yu only saw the interaction of the mother and daughter couple that somehow looked this cute.
"Huhuhu my good daughter-in-law look at my unfilial son! He dared to scold his mother like that. Please save me my daughter-in-law. Huhuhu if the sight of the eyes could pierce through the body, this old woman would have already died a few times with such a terrifying look. Huhuhuhu." Consort Su wiped away the tears that smoothly slid from the corner of her eyes. He hid his face. His eyes withered as he silently glanced at the child and his daughter-in-law. However if one were to notice, within his eyes that looked withered on the outside, a faint glint of spirit that was well hidden would be able to be seen within his clear eyes.
Lu Jing Yu who was suddenly dragged while watching the show did not know what to do. He glanced at Pei Zhang Xi to seek help. But who would have thought that man even turned his face cruelly. Makes him speechless.
"Gmp!" Pei Zhang Xi snorted at the behavior of his mother who became. As the son that the woman grew up with of course she knew how her mother had behaved all this time to get what she wanted.
Since childhood Pei Zhang Xi had experienced many embarrassing things all along and did things he did not want with the same trick. But even so, he is still trapped in the trap of the deadly mother.
But this time, he did not come alone. Moreover he came with a woman who was unable to enter into his eyes due to her unworthiness. How could he let that woman see his defeat?
On the other hand, Lu Jing Yu increasingly twitched at the corner of her lips. His original parents in his world were all reasonable people. They love each other but never overdo it. Especially to the point of acting pathetic and playing a role to force someone, so he does not know how to react.
"Mom, if it's not a hassle just do as you want." Lu Jing Yu said in the end. Seeing the face of concubine Su made her unable to resist.
The withered eyes of concubine Su in an instant had turned spirited. He immediately draped his slender arm around Lu Jing Yu's arm as he patted her rather loudly. Yet the happy twinkle in his clear eyes made Lu Jing Yu powerless to disappoint him.
"Alright because it's decided. From now on I'll send you this special drink and you'll have to promise to spend it." Without waiting for the ability of the two, concubine Su immediately released Lu Jing Yu and ordered the two to return immediately on the grounds that he was tired and wanted to rest.
Concubine Su immediately changed her appearance from being originally full of spirit to looking completely exhausted. Lu Jing Yu truly admired from the bottom of her heart the acting ability of a woman who was still beautiful despite her almost forty years of age.
"Well then we won't interfere anymore." Pei Zhang Xi stood up and glanced at Lu Jing Yu. He gestured for his wife to leave from the place full of traps. He didn't realize they were trapped...
"Yes yes." Pei Zhang Xi really couldn't bear to stay any longer. He quickly grabbed Lu Jing Yu's hand and pulled her away from there. Avoiding if his mother would dig another trap hole for him.
Concubine Su looked at this scene with a smile on her lips. He realized that between them there was nothing but a forced marriage for the time being. No longer a feeling of love, this son might even still hate Lu Jing Yu given what her daughter-in-law did to become the wife of her son. But he was sure that one day his son's heart would melt in the girl who became his wife.
As a mother, concubine Su immediately ordered people to investigate her future son-in-law when they learned of the marriage edict that her only son had to accept. At first he felt dissatisfied after hearing many rumors circulating out there about his future son-in-law. Moreover, knowing the unworthy tricks used to force a marriage.
Consort Su went to the Mingyue temple in the mountains to ask for a blessing for her precious son. But Chief Monk Di told him that the marriage of his son he complained about could not be broken because it had become a provision. Moreover, Lu Jing Yu and Pei Zhang Xi were a matching couple in every way. Chief Monk Di also assured that Pei Zhang Xi would be happy in his marriage.
Monk Di's head of the Mingyue temple was famous for his piety. His words are always correct. So concubine Su finally put down her concern for the happiness of her son's marriage and prayed for him.
Still with a smile on her pretty face, she called out to Aunt Gu who immediately came after being summoned.
"From tomorrow arrange for a trusted servant to send the health drink to the residence of king Rui. Ask them to make sure that king Rui and empress Rui finish their health drinks." Concubine Su smiled as she imagined her future surrounded by the many grandchildren that would be born from her daughter-in-law.
In the harem, it was only he who had no grandchildren to be proud of and show off. His son was too cold for women all this time. As the princes filled their residence with their wives and several concubines, the residence of his son was still empty. It frustrates him when the concubines show off their precious grandchildren.
"Does king Rui know what this drink is?" Lips Gu asked doubtfully. He had known Pei Zhang Xi since childhood. So he knows his character. If he knew his mother was cheating on him, he would be angry.
"Of course not. So don't let him know."
"Isn't this not good?"
"Of course it's good. I'm just helping them nourish their bloodline. Is this bad? Their relationship is not at that stage yet. But by consuming this drink regularly, once they do it in the future, my granddaughter will no longer be a dream." The clear eyes of concubine Su gleamed happily. It was as if he could see his grandson was in front of him at this moment.
