Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 515: Pills, can’t produce offspring?

Not long after Prince Rui left, the doctor came to examine Shen Youran, gave her the best medicine, and told her to take good care of herself.

At night, Prince Rui came to her courtyard for the first time to accompany her and take care of her personally.

For several days, after returning, Prince Rui would go straight to Shen Youran's yard and spend the whole day with her. All the people in Prince Rui's mansion were sending gifts to her yard to curry favor with her. For a while, Shen Youran was sought after by everyone in the mansion.

When the Queen Mother heard about this, she was furious. She asked Shen Youran to reflect on herself, but she did nothing. She didn't know what tricks she used to make Prince Rui bewildered and he kept following her around every day.

She had Prince Rui called over and prepared to have a good talk with him: "Prince Rui, what's wrong with you recently? I heard that you go to Aunt Shen's yard all day long. Did you forget what you promised me?"

"Grandmother, I didn't. Youran was injured and lost her child. She is very sad. I have to spend more time with her." Prince Rui ran to the Queen Mother and said, and personally massaged her shoulders.

"I have heard about her affairs. She framed my elder sister and had an unclear relationship with the Earl's Mansion. Prince Rui, you'd better not spoil her. You are a man who can do big things. You can't refuse the love affair in the backyard." The Queen Mother advised.

"My grandson knows that those rumors are all misunderstandings. Youran is a gentle and kind person. How could she do such a thing? Grandmother, you don't understand Youran, so you misunderstand her."

"Look, I haven't said anything yet, and you've already protected me. Forget it, forget it. I'm old, and I can't care about the affairs of you young people. Grandmother, I have only one request. No matter what, you must guarantee Qing'er's status in the Rui Palace, and no one is allowed to bully her."

"How can you be old? How many ladies outside can compare to you?" Prince Rui praised, "Don't worry, I promise that as long as I am here, no one can bully her. She will always be the princess of Prince Rui's mansion."

"I'm glad you know." The Queen Mother was amused by his words. She just liked this grandson who was obedient and sensible. This was also the reason why Prince Rui had always been so favored.

"Grandmother, I have something to ask of you." Prince Rui continued when he saw that she was happy.

"I was wondering why you were so sweet today. It turns out you were waiting for me here! Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Since You Ran was wrongly accused, can you restore her position as concubine? She just lost her child and it's sad enough. If you directly demote her to a concubine, I'm worried that others will gossip about her."

"Did she tell you that?" The Queen Mother looked displeased.

"No, Grandmother, it was my grandson who said that Youran is sensible and considerate, and she never complained." Prince Rui explained hurriedly.

"Okay, go back now. I'm tired."

"So... this matter?"

"I've made a note of it. I'll ask Mammy to do it later. But you have to remind her to behave herself in the future and not to do anything weird or to damage the reputation of the royal family. Otherwise, it won't be as simple as just confinement."

"Thank you, Grandmother. I will make sure she reflects on herself and will never let you down." After saying this, Prince Rui said goodbye and left, returning to his palace.

Soon Shen Youran received the news that she had regained her position as a concubine. She was extremely happy. After these days of meditation and taking good medicine, her complexion became rosy and she was able to get out of bed.

Since that day on, Prince Rui would come to accompany him after finishing his work every day. Except when he went out to do work, he stayed in the mansion all the time. Even the Emperor praised him for being more calm, because Prince Rui no longer went out to hang out with those friends. The Queen Mother heard about it. Although she was dissatisfied with him staying in the mansion with Shen Youran all day long, she didn't say anything when she saw that Prince Rui had become much more sensible.

On this day, Prince Rui went to the palace for something. Shen Youran was drinking the bird's nest sent by the prince in the yard. Suddenly, the hunched man appeared again.

"Concubine Shen, how have you been these days?"

"It's you. I thought I was dreaming. Who are you?" The bird's nest in Shen Youran's hand trembled and fell to the ground. After she came to her senses, she suddenly felt that the person in front of her was not scary at all. She invited the person into her room and told Furong to guard outside the yard.

"I am a disciple of the Heavenly Master. I was harmed by a villain and ended up like this. I helped you, so you should thank me."

"I was wondering why the prince's temperament suddenly changed recently. It turned out to be you. What method did you use, Master?!"

"The secret cannot be revealed. I promise you, as long as you do as I tell you, I will ensure that you will continue to be honored and favored."

"I wonder what the master wants me to do?"

"I was harmed by a villain, and my body was cursed. Now, I need to absorb the essence of living people in order to slowly recover. You just need to find a living person for me to absorb."

"A living person?!" Shen Youran's body trembled violently. She was a little scared. This...

"Why, you can't do it? It's not too late for Concubine Shen to regret it now. Otherwise, I will go find someone else, such as... Aunt Wu."

"No! I promise you, as long as you can ensure that King Rui always treats me like this, I will find a living person for you!"

"Have you made up your mind?"

"Well, I've thought about it."

"Then take this and give the other one to Prince Rui. From now on, Prince Rui is yours. However, I remind you that after taking this medicine, you will no longer be able to have children." The man showed his empty eyes.

"Can't bear children?"

"Yes, and once you take this medicine, there will be no room for regret."

"I'll eat it!" Shen Youran hesitated for a moment and swallowed the pill. Compared to the child, the love of King Rui was real. If there was no King Rui, even if she had a child, she would still be despised.

"Concubine Shen is courageous. Okay, prepare the people tomorrow and I will come to find you." After saying that, the man disappeared.

Shen Youran was still somewhat frightened until Furong's voice rang out from outside the courtyard: "Your Majesty."

"You Ran, I'm back."

"Your Highness, you have been busy with official duties all day. You must be tired. I will ask the servants to prepare some ginseng soup for you. Drink it while it is hot."

"Okay, You Ran is still considerate." Prince Rui helped her sit down, and then finished the soup before continuing, "I have good news for you."

"What good news?"

"I have already begged the Empress Dowager to release you from your confinement. Also, you are no longer my aunt, you are my concubine."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for thinking of Your Ran." Shen Youran bowed and thanked him, feeling extremely excited.

"Get up quickly. You haven't recovered yet. If you get hurt again, I will feel bad." King Rui motioned for her to skip the formality.

Shen Youran is now in great glory in Prince Rui's mansion. She can get whatever she wants. As long as she says a word, Prince Rui will do it for her.

The next day, a female corpse with a tragic death suddenly appeared in the pond of Prince Rui's mansion...
