The Daily Life of a Concubine

Chapter 14 - Disagreement

Bai Jingxian understood Chun Feng's intention. "Go ahead and summon her. I trust you."

Hearing those words of trust brought tears to Chun Feng's eyes. "Don't worry, My lady. I will not allow anyone to harm you." After speaking, she bowed and left the palace chamber.

Watching Chun Feng leave, Bai Jingxian let out a chuckle.

With the pills in that bottle, having a child wouldn't be difficult for her. What worried her was losing her life because of the child.

She valued her life greatly.

As she looked at the packet of medicine on the table, her fingers tapped lightly on the surface.

Outside, Xiao Li, who was guarding the door, had seen Chun Feng leave as if going to her doom, and his heart was filled with unease.

He genuinely liked his current mistress. If she were to ask him to do something dangerous, he'd certainly have his reservations.

Xiao Li sighed internally.

Bai Jingxian was unaware of his many thoughts, but Chun Feng returned quickly after leaving.

This time, she brought with her a maidservant who had thick eyebrows and large eyes.

"My lady, this is Xiang Cao, a fellow townsman of mine," Chun Feng said. After entering, she instructed Xiao Li to stand guard outside and ensure that no one entered.

With that precaution, Chun Feng felt bold enough to tell Bai Jingxian everything, leaving nothing out.

Xiang Cao looked terrified. She hadn't expected that her old acquaintance would completely disclose her to her mistress.

However, her shock only lasted for a moment before she quickly composed herself.

"Greetings to Li Liangdi. I wish Your Ladyship health and peace," Xiang Cao said, following the proper etiquette.

"Stand up. Chun Feng must have briefed you. Take a look at this," Bai Jingxian said coolly, noticing the maidservant's distant demeanor but choosing not to hold it against her. She didn't want Chun Feng to lose a friend because of her.

Xiang Cao glanced at her old friend, then stepped forward to examine the medicine. After inspecting it, she looked bewilderedly at Chun Feng.

"Hurry up and speak! What kind of medicine is this? Don't keep HerLadyship waiting," Chun Feng said anxiously, noticing Xiang Cao's hesitation.

Xiang Cao placed the packet back on the table and spoke, "This is a high-grade fertility drug. If taken after intercourse, there is an eighty percent chance of conceiving. However..." Xiang Cao trailed off.

"However, what?" Chun Feng, more anxious than Bai Jingxian, immediately pressed her.

Bai Jingxian also turned her gaze to Xiang Cao, waiting for her to continue.

"However, this medicine is harmful to the mother's body. If a child is conceived using this drug, there's a sixty percent chance it will damage the mother's health." After finishing, Xiang Cao lowered her head.

Although she wasn't a high-ranking doctor, identifying common medicines and prescriptions was well within her ability.

"My lady..." Chun Feng was alarmed.

This packet had been found in the room of one of the second-tier maids, and there were several more like it. If Bai Jingxian had taken this medicine...

"Calm down. I haven't taken it yet," Bai Jingxian said, noticing Chun Feng's worried expression. She tried to calm her down, "You haven't seen your old friend in a while, have you? Take a break and spend some time with her."
