In order to eat, I signed a contract with the system

Chapter 111 Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace – Gao Xiyue 11

After Su Lujun and the others entered the mansion, their impression of Gao Xiyue has always been that she is a unique and peerless beauty. Although she is a little arrogant and doesn't like to talk to others, she has never taken advantage of her status to favor and bully them, and she never tells lies.

This time, Xiyue suddenly said these meaningful words, which made Su Lujun and Chen Wanyin feel a little uneasy for a moment, and they didn't know whether to continue listening.

Xiyue didn't care whether they wanted to listen or not. She raised her hand to signal them to stand up and continued, "On the second day after I entered the mansion, I received a sterilization gift carefully prepared by Fucha Langya."

As soon as these words came out, Su Lujun and Chen Wanyin finally understood why Concubine Gao never came to pay respects on weekdays, and even when she came she never gave Concubine Gao a good look. Originally, they thought that this was a challenge to Concubine Gao's status by relying on the prince's favor, and Langya had always been tolerant of this, which made Su Lujun and other confused princesses recognize Langya more and think that she had the bearing of Concubine Gao.

Now think about it, if what Concubine Gao said was true, then the legitimate wife was too scary. They couldn't help but shudder and looked at Xiyue wanting to hear more of the inside story.

Xiyue has no intention of clearing up their doubts. Some things have to be investigated by oneself before one can be convinced. No matter how much others say, as long as it doesn't happen to oneself, one won't think it matters.

So before leaving, Xiyue smiled and asked Su Lujun and Chen Wanyin: "You two have been in the mansion for half a year, right?"

"I heard that you were chosen to enter the palace because Concubine Xi thought you were easy to give birth to?"

"It's not like the prince hasn't been to your courtyard in the past six months. How come you two, who are good at giving birth, have no signs of pregnancy yet?"

"Is it because the prince doesn't go there often, or is it because you guys are too diligent in paying respects?"

Xiyue was originally planning to leave after saying these words, but she changed her mind and was afraid that Su Lujun and Chen Wanyin would not be able to figure out her subtle reminder, so she added bluntly: "This concubine advises you to drink less tea from the main courtyard, otherwise if you continue to drink like this, you may not be able to get pregnant in the future!"

After Xiyue left, Su Lujun and Chen Wanyin, who stayed there, looked at each other in surprise. If Xiyue's first few questions just made them mutter in their hearts, Xiyue's last sentence was a clear hint. Such a hint made Su Lujun and Chen Wanyin couldn't help but tremble with fear. If Concubine Gao's words were true, then Fu Cha Langya was too scary!

After forcing herself to remain calm and say goodbye with a forced smile, Su Lujun returned to her residence and couldn't help thinking. She was chosen because Concubine Xi took a fancy to her figure and said that she was easy to bear children. If it were normal, she should have news in half a year.

"Could it be that the reason I haven't gotten pregnant is really because of Fu Jin's fault?" Su Lujun's eyes flickered. She wanted to confirm it but was a little afraid. In the end, the desire to get pregnant prevailed. So when she paid her respects the next day, Su Lujun thought about Xiyue's words and did not drink the tea in the main courtyard. Instead, she pretended to drink tea and spit the tea in her mouth onto her handkerchief.

After the greetings were over, Su Lujun returned to her residence and called Ke Xin, whispering a few instructions to her. Not long after, Ke Xin took Su Lujun's handkerchief and went downstairs. She found an inconspicuous boy at the gatehouse, handed the handkerchief to the boy, handed him a bag of silver, and whispered her request in his ear.

The doorman took the silver, weighed it, and nodded with satisfaction. After Ke Xin went back, the doorman found someone else to take over his shift and left the house with his handkerchief.

Chen Wanyin, who also knew about the situation, was of poor family and timid. When she paid her respects today, she intentionally observed Langya's expression and did not find anything wrong, which alleviated a little of her suspicion. However, she did not dare to eat or drink the food in the main courtyard in front of Xinda, so during the whole payment, Chen Wanyin just sat quietly aside and did not touch anything.

Chen Wanyin also discovered Su Lujun's behavior during observation. Chen Wanyin wondered if she could ask Su Lujun privately, but on the one hand she wanted to know the truth, and on the other hand she was afraid to know the truth, so she hesitated for a while.

On Su Lujun's side, the doorman was still very efficient. When Ke Xin came back from the doorman again, Su Lujun was already mentally prepared. When she heard Ke Xin say, "The doctor said that some contraceptive drugs were indeed added to the tea. Drinking a little is not a big deal. You can still get pregnant after stopping for a while. But drinking too much will affect the body and eventually make women completely infertile."

Su Lujun opened her eyes wide in shock at Ke Xin's words. She has always been honest and has no desire to fight, so she has never been disrespectful to Langya since she entered the palace. She was originally skeptical about the concubine's words, but when she learned that Langya was actually controlling the heirs of the palace behind the scenes, she was so scared that she didn't know what to do.

So Su Lujun found Chen Wanyin and told her about this. After hearing it, Chen Wanyin felt the same as Su Lujun. After they entered the mansion, their status was not as good as those wives and concubines who were married off through elections, and their feelings were not as good as those of their childhood sweetheart Qingying. In order to avoid being bullied, they showed extra respect to the wives, hoping that the wives would treat them fairly because of their honesty.

Originally they thought that Concubine Gao was unruly and Princess Qingying was spoiled, and that Concubine Fu was the truly virtuous and kind one. This sudden confirmation of Concubine Fu's true face made them at a loss. They wanted to complain to the prince, but were afraid that the prince would not stand up for them. They wanted to just let it go, but were afraid of being helpless in the future.

In the end, the two decided to go to Xiyue. They felt that Xiyue was willing to remind them, which meant she was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. However, Qingying, who was good friends with Su Lujun in the original plot, was no longer close to her in this life because of their similar identities.

After all, in her previous life, Su Lujun was willing to tolerate Qingying's arrogance because Qingying was not only a concubine but also Hongli's sweetheart. Although Qingying in this life seems to be favored, her status is not higher than Su Lujun and Chen Wanyin. This is human nature. When they are on an equal footing, Su Lujun is no longer willing to tolerate some of Qingying's shortcomings.

When Su Lujun and the others just found out the truth, Xiyue's system had a reminder. Even if Langya knew nothing, the change in her image in the minds of others was a slap in the face. However, the amount of gold coins given was relatively small, only 5.

Xiyue pouted in dissatisfaction, but there was nothing she could do. Su Lujun and the others didn't have the courage to expose Langya, so Xiyue could do nothing about it. As for asking Xiyue to expose it, Xiyue said that it was unnecessary. After all, it was not her who couldn't give birth. They were all competitors, and she would not do such a thing just to slap her in the face.

However, Xiyue didn't mind doing a little more to expose Langya's face. As for whether Langya knew about these things, Xiyue said it didn't matter. What mattered was that she was the beneficiary.

So when Su Lujun and the others came to visit Xiyue, not only did they not get clear guidance from Xiyue, they also heard some even more outrageous rumors.
