644: Infertility Incense

Infertility Incense

Lu Yunshuang's eyes narrowed as she watched Lu Liangwei walk away. The day would come when she would take over Lu Liangwei's place and Lu Liangwei would finally know what it felt like to be beneath Lu Yunshuang's feet.2

The most important thing right now was to prevent Lu Liangwei from getting pregnant. Otherwise, all of Lu Yunshuang's hopes and dreams will be dashed.

When Lu Yunshuang returned to the Eastern Palace, Long Chi was already waiting for her.

She had collected her thoughts and emotions as she quickly went forward to welcome him. "What brings you here today, Your Highness?"

Long Chi was unable to hide the dark look on his face. The sight of her reminded him of that embarrassing situation from last night. He would never have come here if he had not needed to ask her something.

"Were you just at Grand Phoenix Palace?" He held her shoulders as he asked.

Lu Yunshuang lowered her head coyly. "Yes."

Long Chi rubbed her shoulders and asked, "Did you manage to find out anything?"

Lu Yunshuang became serious at the mention of this. "I went to great lengths to get into Lil sis' bedchamber and I saw… I saw…"

"What exactly did you see?" Long Chi was a little impatient when he saw her stammering.

A look flashed in Lu Yunshuang's eyes. "Lil Sis got up later than usual today. When I entered her bedchamber, she was still in bed, looking lethargic. I even saw that her body was…covered in marks from lovemaking. It was clear that His Majesty had favored her yesterday for the entire night. It looks like His Majesty has indeed been cured of his poison."

With that, she glanced at Long Chi, only to see him frowning with a frightening expression on his face.

She gave pause. She felt slightly upset over this.

Was his reaction caused by discovering that the Emperor had been cured of his poison, or was it because he found out that Lu Liangwei had been intimate with the Emperor?

As she was thinking about this, she pretended to console him. "Even if His Majesty has been cured of his poison, there is no guarantee that Lil Sis will be able to get pregnant. There's no need for you to worry, Your Highness."

Long Chi gave a start and glanced at her as the expression on his face relaxed. "You're right."

With that, he took out a perfume satchel. "Take this with you every day when you greet the Empress. There's a higher chance of you getting in contact with her. Wear this on you and it will guarantee her to be barren."

The look on Lu Yunshuang's face stiffened when she heard this. She asked, "What's in the perfume satchel?"

A cold sneer appeared on Long Chi's lips. "Infertility incense."

Lu Yunshuang backed away when she heard this. She looked at him, not knowing what to think. "This…"

If this perfume satchel was able to cause Lu Liangwei to be barren and unable to be pregnant after catching a whiff of it, would it not have the same effect on her if she was carrying it?

Besides, if Lu Yunshuang happened to be pregnant now, this would heavily affect the baby in her.

Long Chi noticed her hesitation and grabbed her shoulders as he consoled her. "Shuang'er, don't think too much into this. You aren't pregnant right now, right? Once you get pregnant, I'll naturally stop having you carry this."

Lu Yunshuang was still hesitant. "What if I'm already…"

Long Chi's expression dimmed. "Since you aren't sure, why not get an imperial physician to check on you first? If you're pregnant, you shouldn't be carrying it."

Lu Yunshuang blushed a little when she heard this. "Let's wait a few more days. My menstruation has not started yet and I'd like to see if it will arrive. If there's no sign of it, I'll get an imperial physician to check my pulse. I'm worried it might be too early to tell right now."

Long Chi felt extremely annoyed when he heard her words.

"I'm just worried Lu Liangwei might get pregnant if we put it off for too long."

Lu Yunshuang had the same consideration as well. "If she gets pregnant, would the infertility incense not affect her?"

"It will, but it won't be as effective," Long Chi explained.
