"Old lady..."

Li crawled to the old princess's feet and cried bitterly, "Madam, Liang Heng has done a great favor to the palace, but the title of the King of Zhennan is not only because of Liang Heng, but also because of the merits earned by my husband who died on the battlefield. You must not forget this, Madam."

As she spoke, Li glanced at Su Xuqing coldly, "Old Madam, you are now partial to Xiaojiu and his wife, and you want me, your sister-in-law, to bow my head and admit my mistakes. Aren't you afraid that the second son will be disappointed in his afterlife?"

"Bastard!"

The old princess kicked Li to the ground, pointed at her with an ugly face and cursed: "You heartless thing, your son has been doing bad things outside for the past few years, and every time I helped him to clean up his mess, if I hadn't been thinking about the second son, I would have kicked you and your son out of the house long ago! Now you dare to use the second son as an excuse!"

The old princess was really angry and said angrily: "Come here, lock this worse-than-pig-and-dog thing up in the ancestral hall! Let her reflect on herself!"

Upon hearing this, the servant outside the main hall hurried in with his head lowered and carried Li, who was lying on the ground, out.

"Ouch, I'm so mad."

The old princess held her forehead and felt a little dizzy. Seeing this, Su Xuqing hurriedly helped her sit down, untied the sachet tied around her waist, and shook it on the tip of the old princess's pen.

"Mom, you are old now. Don't get angry easily. Anger is harmful to your health."

The fresh fragrance lingered, and the old princess took a deep breath. She felt her ears and eyes become clearer, and the resentment in her chest also dissipated completely.

She was amazed and asked, "Where did you get this sachet? It's so magical."

Su Xuqing smiled lightly and placed the sachet in the old princess's hand. "I made this myself. If you like it, just use it first. I'll make a new one for you tomorrow."

The old princess nodded, then looked at the women in each room.

"Your eldest sister-in-law and sixth sister-in-law usually help mother to manage the palace's internal affairs and they are very tired. If you have time, you can make two and send them to them. We are all family, so you should visit each other more often."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qin from the first wife and Bai Luomei from the third wife stepped forward and said with a smile on their faces, "I didn't know that Xiaojiu's new daughter-in-law is so skillful and can make sachets. Thank you in advance."

"Thank you, sisters-in-law. My sister-in-law has just married into the family and is not familiar with the rules of the palace. If I do anything wrong in the future, you sisters-in-law will have to bear with me."

Su Xuqing understood the ways of the world. The old lady intended for her to be close to the first and third wives, mostly for the sake of the future. The old princess was worried that after she was gone, people from the other wives would bully her.

In her previous life, Su Xuqing was not very familiar with Gu Qin and Bai Luomei. She only knew that these two were very knowledgeable and busy taking care of all the affairs in the mansion, and they were not as domineering as those people in the second house.

Of course, he didn't show any goodwill towards Su Xuqing.

Although Su Xuqing had been married to the palace for several years in her previous life, she didn't know much about the Zhennan Palace. She only heard that the old princess had nine children, five sons and three daughters. Originally, the house was full of descendants, but now, only three of these children are still alive.

Apart from Shen Xuanheng, the old princess only had her third and seventh daughters still alive.

The rest of his sons and one daughter all died in battle, a family full of loyal heroes. Even today, the Prince of Zhennan, who is over 70 years old, is still guarding the border, and perhaps one day he will return home with his body wrapped in his horse's hide.

Not only was the pillar of the family in danger, but there were four rooms in the palace, and only the child born to the second room, Mrs. Li, grew up. The children born to the first and sixth rooms all died young. The old woman's eighth son was even more miserable, as he died in the battle to defend the city before he could get married.

Now in the palace, the only males who can inherit the title are Shen Xuanheng and Shen Chejin. However, Shen Xuanheng does not have much time left, and the title of Zhen'an Palace will most likely fall into the hands of Shen Chejin in the future.

Thinking of this, Su Xuqing felt like a thorn in her back. If she couldn't cure Shen Xuanheng's illness, she would probably have a hard time surviving.

"Qing'er, what are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?"

The old lady stretched out her old hand and waved it in front of Su Xuqing. She came to her senses and said quickly, "I just feel that mother has a hard time. Second sister-in-law doesn't buy my painstaking efforts."

The two sisters-in-law from the first and third rooms had left at some point. The old lady pulled Su Xuqing to her side and said slowly, "Your second sister-in-law is narrow-minded. I wanted to use this incident to teach her a lesson and make her behave herself, but now it seems that she will not repent. I'm afraid she will hate you even more."

As she spoke, the old princess sighed, "Mother should be able to live for a few more years. Before she leaves, she will find a way to separate you so that you won't be bullied in the palace. Although this seems to be a safe approach, according to Li's temper, even if she separates you, she will most likely cause trouble for you, so you have to find someone to back you up."

Shen Xuanheng listened at the side and felt bad. If he was in good health, why would he let his woman find a way to escape as soon as she got married?

"Don't worry, mother."

Su Xuqing placed her hand on the old princess' back and gently comforted her, "After all, my uncle is also a cavalry general. At worst, I can just live in his house."

The old princess smiled and nodded, "That's true, but it's always good to have more friends and more paths."

Su Xuqing responded obediently, but she was not at ease in her heart, because her words just now were only to comfort the old princess. Two years later, her uncle was framed by Shen Chejin and the third prince, and his whole family died.

Thinking of this, Su Xuqing felt even more hatred in her heart. She was determined to kill Shen Chejin no matter what in this life!

After leaving the main hall, Shen Xuanheng saw that Su Xuqing was absent-minded, so he grabbed her hand.

"Ma'am, what are you thinking about?"

Su Xuqing lowered her eyes, thinking secretly in her heart, if she couldn't cure Shen Xuanheng, and killed Shen Chejin, then wouldn't the Zhen'an Palace be extinct?

Thinking of this, Su Xuqing took a breath of cold air. If this was the case, the old princess would be so angry that she would die.

"Husband."

Su Xuqing raised her peach blossom eyes slightly, looking aggressive.

"What...what happened?"

"Let's go and have a baby!"

"what?"

…………

When the golden wind and jade dew meet, there will be no sun and moon in the palace from then on.

For half a month, Su Xuqing stayed at home, spending time with him day and night.

But even though she calculated the date correctly, there was no sign of pregnancy. She looked up a lot of medical books and finally understood where the problem lay.

Shen Xuanheng's physical weakness did not affect his sexual intercourse, but his fertility was affected and he was not strong enough to allow a woman to become pregnant.

On the large carved bed, Shen Xuanheng got out of bed and came to Su Xuqing's side. Seeing her sitting on a chair with a medical book in her hands and looking worried, he gently massaged her shoulders and comforted her, "Madam, let this happen naturally. Don't force it."
