Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 234 Conspiracy

When she thought of Yuan Yingxue, the expression on the princess's face was no longer as good as before.

She didn't like him, and marrying him was just following her mother's orders. If she had a choice, she would still prefer to be with Wang Qiu.

However, Wang Qiu seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, leaving her nowhere to be found.

Gu Qingyuan was silent for a moment and stopped talking about this matter. Instead, he chatted with the princess about other things.

In the palace.

The little princess had a high fever and her body was so red that it looked like it was about to be cooked. The palace maids who were taking care of her were extremely anxious.

When Yuan Yingxue arrived at the little princess's room, the maid first bowed to him and said, "Greetings, my lord."

He heard the little princess crying and asked, "What's going on? Why is Qiuqiu crying all the time?"

"It's like this, the little princess has a high fever, and I've already sent for the imperial physician."

Yuan Yingxue nodded, then said to the palace maid, "Leave this to me, you go and get busy first."

Thinking that Yuan Yingxue was the legitimate husband of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, the palace maid did not doubt it and hurried out.

The only people left in the room were Yuan Yingxue, the little princess, and Yuan Yi who was following Yuan Yingxue.

Yuan Yingxue walked up to the little princess and touched her forehead.

"So hot."

He couldn't help but withdraw his hand.

Yuan Yida said, "My dear, don't you dislike the child that the princess had with another man? Why did you come to see her?"

Yuan Yingxue glanced at him and picked up the child.

Then, Yuan Yingxue took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve and pried open the little princess's mouth.

The dark green juice slowly poured into her mouth. At this moment, Yuan Yingxue's face was filled with bone-chilling hatred.

Perhaps the medicine was too bitter, the little princess refused to drink it, and the green liquid slowly flowed out from the corners of her mouth.

"This is……"

Yuan Yi's pupils shrank.

There is a poison called Soul-Eating Grass, whose juice is dark green and bitter.

Soul-Eating Grass and Ice Soul Powder together can cause a person to die quickly, and Ice Soul Powder can cause crystals to form on a person's skin. It is generally used to reduce fever.

The young master fed the little princess the poisonous juice of the soul-eating grass. If she only took this, it would not be fatal.

But if the little princess comes into contact with the Ice Soul Powder again, then...

Yuan Yi didn't dare to think further. His heart was beating fast and he felt like he had witnessed a conspiracy.

Yuan Yingxue used her sleeve to wipe away the green liquid that was about to flow from the little princess's mouth to her neck, and coaxed her: "Qiuqiu, be good, drink this and you won't feel uncomfortable anymore."

He took the small porcelain bottle and forcefully poured the liquid into her mouth.

Only when the juice of the Soul-Eating Grass in the small bottle was empty did he put the porcelain bottle away and put it back into his sleeve.

However, when he was wiping the little princess's mouth just now, some green was stained on Yuan Yingxue's sleeves, but if you didn't look closely at his sleeves, you wouldn't notice it.

Then, he took out a handkerchief as if nothing had happened, poured some water on it, and wiped off the liquid that had accidentally leaked onto the quilt wrapped around the little princess.

Yuan Yi kept his head down the whole time.

After doing all this, Yuan Yingxue let the little princess go back.

"What do you see?"

Yuan Yi only heard Yuan Yingxue ask himself this.

"I... I didn't see anything... I just got sand in my eyes and I'm rubbing them."

Yuan Yingxue smiled with satisfaction.

He had bought this soul-devouring grass from outside the palace at a high price, and he had expected the little princess to have a fever.

After all, he is good at playing the role of a loving father.

Everyone said that the child was obviously not his, but was born to the princess and another man, but he still took care of her in every detail, even taking care of her day and night when she had a stomachache.

Even when she had a fever, it was because he didn't cover her with a blanket.

Although it is spring, it is not much warmer than winter.

Then, Yuan Yingxue adjusted her expression and looked at the little princess with sadness on her face.

After a while, the door was opened.

When the palace maid and the imperial physician came in, they saw Yuan Yingxue sitting beside the little princess's bed, wiping her head with a towel.

Worry was on his face. Seeing the doctor come in, he quickly stood up and said, "Just now, I saw that she was thirsty, so I gave her some tea and wet the quilt a little."

The maid said, "I will go and change the clothes for the little princess."

The imperial physician came over and saw the little princess with a fever. He said, "First, give the little princess some medicine to reduce the fever, and rub her body more to cool her down."

Yuan Yingxue continued to act, "Imperial Physician, is the little princess okay? This is Her Royal Highness's first child, and I treat her like my own daughter. I don't even dare to give her anything I want to eat. Seeing her sick is more painful than killing me!"

His expression was genuine, and no one would have thought that it was him who had such hatred on his face just now.

Hate, how can you not hate.

He was delighted to marry her, but in the bridal chamber she would rather sleep on the floor than share the same bed with him.

Later, when my father-in-law came to check on me, he saw that the bed was empty, which made him feel very embarrassed.

Even when he returned home, he went back by himself, making him unable to hold his head up in front of the Yuan brothers.

And her cold words, saying that his position would not change, but she would not give him any love either.

The imperial physician saw that Yuan Yingxue was clearly not the little princess's biological father, yet he showed such concern for her. He consoled her, "Don't worry, Master Yuan. The little princess just has a fever. I'll take her pulse. The changing seasons are also a time when people are more susceptible to illness. There's no need to worry too much."

"That's good……"

He took out a handkerchief and wiped away his nonexistent tears.

The palace maids were busy running around. Yuan Yingxue said, "In that case, I'll go back first. I won't stay and disturb you anymore."

The imperial physician quickly said, "Please rest assured, Master Yuan, the little princess will be fine. I will do my utmost to treat her."

"it is good."

Yuan Yingxue took Yuan Yi out.

After returning, Yuan Yingxue changed out of the clothes stained with the Soul-Eating Grass juice and threw them away casually.

"Find some time to throw it away." He instructed Yuan Yi.

If it weren't for the fact that fires were not allowed in the palace, he would have wanted to burn the clothes directly.

However, Yuan Yingxue was afraid of touching upon some taboos by burning a living person's clothes, so she finally decided to let Yuan Yi throw away his own clothes.

After Yuan Yingxue left, the palace maid took the prescription written by the imperial physician, went to get some antipyretic medicine, and boiled it for the little princess.

The imperial physician remembered that there was a kind of powder that could reduce fever quickly, called Bingpo Powder. It could dissipate heat as long as it was applied on the skin.

She quickly asked someone to prepare the ice soul powder.

……

Gu family.

Wen Shubai couldn't help but smile when he thought of Gu Qingyuan's expression after receiving the letter.

He wrote so much, if she wrote back to him, she would have to write back the same amount.

Yu Shui asked him, "Master, it's almost noon. Do you want to eat anything?"

The master is pregnant now and is more picky about food than before. She doesn’t like the food she used to like anymore.
