"There are no harmful drugs in this product; it's just something that helps regulate the body and aids in fertility."
Yun Xiyue narrowed her eyes slightly. "It seems she's being cautious this time. She knows I don't trust her and wants to gain my trust step by step before making her move."
If it were her past life, she probably would have believed that Pei Fang intended to reconcile with her.
But after that long period of darkness, she no longer easily trusts others.
"Young Miss, someone from the palace has arrived. It's Consort Pei's people who brought the imperial physician to examine you."
News of her abdominal pain reached the palace.
Pei Fang immediately sent someone to inspect.
Yun Xiyue's lips curled into a cold smile. "Go to a brothel and find a woman to come here."
Soon, a maid led in an imperial physician. "Miss, we heard that you are not feeling well, and the Imperial Concubine and the Empress Dowager are very concerned."
"Thank you for your concern, Empress Dowager and Your Highness."
Yun Xiyue lay on the bed and stretched out her hand for them to take her pulse.
The imperial physician left after taking the patient's pulse.
"Your Highness, Miss Yun is indeed suffering from persistent abdominal pain, and she is no longer able to conceive."
Pei Fang's eyes showed a mixture of surprise and doubt. "Really?"
She knew Yun Xiyue was cunning and would definitely not actually eat those things; she would take them out for inspection.
Not wanting to give anyone leverage over her, she didn't actually drug him; instead, she proceeded step by step.
Yesterday was just a test.
But unexpectedly, she really couldn't have children anymore.
"It is highly likely. The young lady is physically weak and has been poisoned, so the chances of her getting pregnant are very small."
Pei Fang found this explanation somewhat believable, given that Yun Xiyue had been poisoned and nearly died. The fact that the Emperor had favored her multiple times without her becoming pregnant was enough to prove it.
"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Physician Chen." Pei Fang gestured for the person to leave.
She got up and went to Funing Palace.
The Empress Dowager felt a pang of regret upon hearing this. The Emperor had only ever favored Yun Xiyue, but unfortunately, she was unfertile. If something were to happen to her, the Emperor would have no heir.
Thinking this way, the Empress Dowager felt troubled and regretted not having her son marry Yun Xiyue sooner. If she had entered the palace, the Emperor might have been more willing to come to the harem.
"Then there's no need to take action. Since she can't have children anyway, keeping her alive will still be useful to us."
Pei Fang also felt that once Yun Xiyue married the Emperor, the Yun family's wealth would also go to the royal family.
Since Yun Xiyue is unable to bear children, only she will be able to give birth to the heir. If her son becomes the crown prince and inherits the Yun family's wealth, it will be perfect.
Thinking about it, Pei Fang no longer disliked Yun Xiyue and even had a lot of tonics sent to her.
Yun Xiyue looked at these items and smiled, "Put them all away!"
After that, things went much more smoothly with the Imperial Merchants and they didn't encounter any difficulties.
Pei Fang had already decided that she was no longer a threat, so she would not deliberately target her.
Bei Ye said, "Miss is truly a brilliant strategist."
They were all fooled by a trick: a woman from a brothel who couldn't have children was brought in.
Yun Xiyue smiled and said, "Yes, get ready, I'm going to the border."
She rarely goes out these days, spending most of her time practicing shooting at home.
She doesn't know martial arts, but she's quite good at horseback riding and archery.
Shooting, if mastered, can save your life.
After practicing day and night, I feel like I've already reached the level of a master archer.
Bei Ye would also practice some martial arts with her.
Although she was not as skilled as those who had mastered martial arts, Yun Xiyue did not want to become a burden to Murong Yu. She needed to have the ability to protect herself so that she would not become a liability when she went to the border.
"Yue'er."
