Tang Zhuyun was truly panicked.
If Huaishang really can't have children, then Linlin is in too much danger. Once she's recognized, Huaishang will probably risk her life to take the child back to comfort her widowed mother.
Even the Prince of Jin, as a superior, is nothing compared to the importance of continuing the family line.
She was so flustered that she didn't see the coldness on the Prince of Jin's face.
That's not right!
After a brief moment of panic, Tang Zhuyun began to have doubts. Someone like the Seventh Prince was someone she could tell was a potential super VIP client at a glance; but Huaishang's physique didn't look weak at all!
While it's true that some people are all bark and no bite, that's a low-probability event, and Huaishang certainly doesn't seem to be lying.
"Your Highness must be joking," Tang Zhuyun said belatedly. "I see that Huaishang is in very good health."
"Do you understand him better, or do I understand him better?"
"No," Tang Zhuyun didn't quite understand why the Prince of Jin of Huaishang was getting angrier and angrier, but she still tried to reason with him seriously, "Your Highness, a man never admits he's incapable, not even to his own father."
And certainly not with you.
Unless, you two are having an affair.
Ah, no, Huaishang is attracted to women.
It's hard to say. He was actually quite rough that night, with absolutely no patience... Did he have a conflict with the Prince of Jin at that time?
Tang Zhuyun imagined a long, melodramatic tale of love, hate, and entanglement.
The Prince of Jin was furious when he saw that she seemed distracted and lovesick as she spoke.
How could this woman be so shameless!
"Tang Zhuyun!" he said through gritted teeth.
"Yes, yes, yes." Tang Zhuyun, feeling guilty, readily agreed, "Here you go, take it all. If you want to give it to Huaishang, then give it to him."
What you two are doing is none of my business.
She originally thought Prince of Jin would be her ally, but now it seems she might have to help Huaishang?
I want to cry.
The Prince of Jin bluntly stated. "If you dare to have any designs on the Huaishang, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"No, absolutely not!" She doesn't have nine lives; how could she possibly compete with the prince for someone?
"I'll go get your medicine right now."
You upper-class people, you know how to have fun.
"No need, I don't want it. You just need to behave yourself..."
Seeing the Prince of Jin's frosty expression, Tang Zhuyun said obsequiously, "Don't worry, I will definitely behave myself. I am the Prince's man in life and in death!"
Whether you like women, men, or even fairies, she will resolutely defend his rights!
She was quite satisfied with her current situation, if Huaishang to take the child away.
The Prince of Jin disliked her intensely and naturally wouldn't get close to her; however, at the same time, he was a man with principles and not as bad as people outside said.
The Prince of Jin is a very good person!
Tang Zhuyun was confident that she could live a life of leisure under his protection, enjoying a carefree existence; but she wouldn't just freeload, she would work!
Wet nurse, cook, doctor, maid... she wore many hats, making her a true all-rounder wherever she was placed. Prince of Jin was certainly not at a disadvantage.
Tang Zhuyun now regards Prince of Jin as her boss. She works hard, and her boss provides guidance and solves messes. She thinks their cooperation is quite harmonious.
Although I sometimes feel sorry for the Prince of Jin of Jin's reputation, the Prince of Jin was originally of poor character, so it doesn't matter if he gets tarnished by this.
Tang Zhuyun felt somewhat guilty and wanted to do something for Prince of Jin.
The Prince of Jin first suggested giving the Huaishang tonics, but then became angry and embarrassed... Since that's the case, then let's give them tonics.
Moreover, Tang Zhuyun had her own plans. If Huaishang's marriage was delayed because of this, she was willing to help him wholeheartedly so that he could become a strong man, get married and have children as soon as possible, and have many descendants.
But can she go and deliver it?
No, the farther she is from Huaishang, the better.
She set her sights on Xiu'er.
Upon hearing that Tang Zhuyun had asked her to deliver medicine to Huaishang, Xiu'er immediately jumped up and said, "Miss, I'm not going. That's so unfair of you!"
Tang Zhuyun was completely bewildered. "How was I being unfair?"
"You've already ruined the Prince's life, and you still want to flirt with other women!"
Tang Zhuyun: "Who did this? When did I do anything to him?"
"Of course it's you! Now the whole capital knows the Prince is failing, don't you have to take responsibility?" Xiu'er said righteously. "If it weren't to cover for you, would we be doing this?"
Tang Zhuyun was speechless for a moment before saying, "Then how can I take responsibility?"
"Give the prince a son, and the rumors will be dispelled! Look at you and Concubine Meng, you left and came in at almost the same time, and they're already pregnant, but what about you?" Xiu'er said with a look of disappointment.
Tang Zhuyun: "... Didn't you see we're sleeping in two separate rooms?"
Concubine Meng and Master Meng also sleep in separate rooms.
Tang Zhuyun: We've lost! We've lost!
She just asked this girl to deliver some medicine, how did she end up being pressured to have children?
And, Xiu'er, you've switched sides!
"You should go quickly," Tang Zhuyun said. "This is the Prince's wish; he wants to send medicine to Huaishang."
Xiu'er took the medicine. "You should have said so earlier! So you're running errands for the Prince. I'll go! Wait, where's Song Jingyang? Why didn't you send him?"
"No, this was specially given to Huaishang by the Prince, in case Song Jingyang gets jealous," Tang Zhuyun said. "When you see Huaishang, just tell him the Prince told him to take it. Don't ask any questions, just take it, one pill a day."
Following this dosage will strengthen the body and improve health. If there is any illness, it can be alleviated. At that time, Huaishang will come to ask the Prince of Jin for more.
Xiu'er muttered, "This is just something to eat, but they won't let me ask questions. It's like they're giving me poison."
Despite her complaints, she was still very reliable, taking the medicine to find Huaishang.
When Huaishang saw Xiu'er, he was somewhat surprised. Wasn't this the maidservant from the Prince's quarters?
After hearing Xiu'er's purpose, he was even more confused.
But Xiu'er had already run far away.
Huaishang was puzzled. Was this really medicine given to him by the prince? And why wasn't he allowed to ask?
He wasn't foolish enough to just eat it, but it wasn't appropriate to ask the prince directly, so he sought out Song Jingyang.
"The prince gave you medicine? I haven't heard of it!" Song Jingyang said. "Is someone trying to sabotage you?"
"It was delivered to me by that maid in the manor, Xiu'er."
Song Jingyang: "Let's go, let's stop guessing, let's just go ask the Prince, he's here."
Upon hearing this, the Prince of Jin's expression turned cold, and after a long pause, he said, "I did not."
Song Jingyang rolled up his sleeves. "That means Xiu'er acted on her own! What kind of medicine is this?"
The Prince of Jin gave a forced smile, "Medicine to nourish the kidneys."
Huaishang instantly recalled what had happened before, and his face turned awkward.
Song Jingyang rushed out, shouting, "I'll go ask Xiu'er why she gave it to Huaishang but not me? Aren't we better off together?"
Prince of Jin: Good, Tang Zhuyun, you're very good! You really have your eyes on the Huaishang, and you even dare to act under my name!
He told the bewildered Huaishang to get out, and then leisurely went out the door himself.
Tang Zhuyun was completely unresponsive; he couldn't save her. However, there was someone who could control her.
