Chapter 131 The Prince's Domineering Protection of His Concubine
Bai Xiyue walked up to Ye Qingyan, her eyes high and she began to threaten: "I advise you to leave your ninth cousin and stop pestering him, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Ye Qingyan thought to herself: So he is Jiuyuan’s admirer.
Bai Xiyue looked at the cup of tea, her anger rising, and she scolded: "How dare you not drink the tea that your grandmother gave you? You are really refusing to drink the wine.
Come, hold her down. She has to drink the tea whether she wants to or not."
Bai Xiyue held Ye Qingyan's arm with one hand, picked up the cup of tea and was about to pour it into her mouth.
Seeing that the empress dowager didn't react, Ye Qingyan looked like she was enjoying the show.
He snatched the teacup and pinched Xiyue's nose with one hand.
Bai Xiyue had difficulty breathing and could only open her mouth, and the cup of tea poured into her mouth.
Bai Xiyue had to swallow it with gulps, everything happened in an instant.
Ye Qingyan let go of her hand, and Bai Xiyue kept coughing.
The Queen Mother had never expected something like this to happen. She angrily said, "Xiao Qi, you are so bold! You actually dared to force tea on Xiyue. Come, tie Xiao Qi up for me."
Feng Yi and Feng Jiu heard the shouting and rushed in to protect Ye Qingyan.
"Queen Mother, didn't you see she was trying to force me to drink tea? Is there something wrong with the tea? I must drink it."
The Queen Mother's face was slightly embarrassed when she said this. She hesitated and said, "What could go wrong with tea?"
Ye Qingyan said angrily: "Since there is no problem with the tea, it doesn't matter who drinks it."
Bai Xiyue ran to the Queen Mother and said, "Grandmother, you must punish her."
"Mammy, quickly take Xiyue to see the imperial physician."
"Empress Dowager, just drink a cup of tea. Why bother calling a doctor? It looks like the tea and fruit have been drugged.
If the sterilizing drug was used, Bai Xiyue's life would be ruined, all thanks to the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother pointed at Ye Qingyan, fuming: "Come here, arrest Xiao Qi and beat him to death."
Upon hearing the order, the palace maids and nannies in the hall ran straight towards Ye Qingyan.
"I'll see who dares!" Leng Jiuyuan exuded murderous aura, his face filled with anger: "Queen Dowager, I didn't know that you wanted to beat my princess to death."
Xiao Qi pretended to be weak and said, "Your Highness, help me! If you had come a step later, Xiao Qi would have been beaten to death."
Leng Jiuyuan comforted him, "Xiao Qi, don't be afraid. I shouldn't have let you come to this place full of tigers and wolves alone."
After saying that, he pulled Ye Qingyan out.
The Queen Mother's eyes were blazing with fire as she roared, "How dare you disobey me? Come back!"
Ye Qingyan turned around and smiled triumphantly at the Queen Mother.
Feng Yi and Feng Jiu also followed him out of the house.
After leaving the Queen Mother's bedroom, Ye Qingyan asked, "Why are you here? Are you worried that something might happen to me?"
Leng Jiuyuan teased, "How could anything happen to you? I'm worried that you might kill the Queen Mother, and it would be hard to explain to my father."
"Humph!"
Ye Qingyan turned her face away.
Leng Jiuyuan smiled: "Of course, the more important thing is that I'm worried that something might happen to you."
"That's pretty much it."
"Is the Queen Mother ill? She put a sterilizing drug in my tea. She is truly wicked.
Bai Xiyue didn't know what was happening and tried to get closer, so she ended up drinking the tea.
Leng Jiuyuan smiled dotingly: "In the future, just kill anyone who provokes you. If anything goes wrong, I will take responsibility for it. From now on, you can do whatever you want."
"It's domineering enough, I like it!"
After Ye Qingyan left, the Queen Mother sat directly on the chaise longue, trembling with anger.
Gui Ma Ma caressed the Queen Mother's chest and said, "Queen Mother, please stop being angry. Your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.
They have their own destiny, and the matchmaker has already tied the red thread, and we can't change it."
The Queen Mother frowned, "But Xiao Qi is really not worthy of Lao Qi. She actually gave me such a cold shoulder. I wonder which of these princes' wives would dare to treat me like this."
Gui Ma Ma advised, "Queen Dowager, please stop thinking about Miss Xiyue. You're always thinking about marrying her to the Ninth Prince, but that requires Prince Zhan to be interested in her."
The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief: "It's a pity that Yue has been accompanying me in the temple these past few years, and the marriage has been delayed.
She was interested in the Ninth Prince, and I could see it, so I promised that I would marry her to the Ninth Prince as his princess when I returned to the palace.
But who would have thought that Xiao Qi would suddenly appear and become a phoenix from nowhere?
Gui Ma shook her head helplessly: "Empress Dowager, if the prince has no interest in Miss Xiyue, a forced melon will not be sweet.
Even if Miss Xiyue enters the mansion, she can only be a concubine and will not be happy.
Besides, if you drink that cup of tea, you will never have children."
The Queen Mother's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "It was that bitch who harmed Xiyue to this point. If she had drunk the tea at that time, what happened later would not have happened at all."
There was a malicious glint in the Queen Mother's eyes as she whispered something into Gui Ma's ear.
Gui Mama's face was filled with astonishment: "Empress Dowager, is this okay?"
"There's nothing wrong with it. It's just a worthless life."
"Yes, I will make arrangements now."
After saying this, Gui Ma Ma walked out. The Queen Mother grinned and said, "Xiao Qi, I have many ways to deal with you. You can only blame yourself for not knowing what is good for you."

Bai Xiyue hurried to the Imperial Hospital, where Doctor Chu was on duty.
The old nanny spoke directly: "Doctor Chu, please take a look at Miss Xiyue. She drank something she shouldn't have."
Doctor Chu nodded and said, "Miss, please sit down and I will take your pulse."
Doctor Chu placed his hand on Bai Xiyue's pulse and frowned immediately: "Miss Xiyue took the sterilizing drug, who is so vicious to attack Miss Xiyue.
Now that her foundation has been damaged, it may be difficult for her to get pregnant in the future."
Bai Xiyue didn't believe what the imperial physician said at all. She grabbed his hand and begged, "No, imperial physician, please take a closer look. I can't live my whole life without an heir."
Doctor Chu said again: “There is nothing I can do.
There are always people who are better than you, and there are always things better than you. I heard that a ghost doctor can revive the dead and heal bones. Why not go see him, maybe there is still hope."
"But the ghost doctor is like a dragon that is hard to find. Where can we find him?" asked the old nanny.
"Go to Baicaotang to make an appointment."
Hope instantly ignited in Bai Xiyue's heart: "I know."
After she finished speaking, she walked out and took her maid out of the palace to make an appointment at Baicaotang.
When he arrived at Baicaotang and learned that the cost was 100,000 taels of silver, he began to hesitate.
The maid seemed to see through her thoughts: "Miss, you are the eldest daughter of the Bai family. The eldest lady will definitely pay the 100,000 taels of silver."
Bai Xiyue thought about it and went straight back to Minister Bai’s residence.
Ever since Ye Qingyan hit her twice with a stick, the eldest lady has developed a phobia. She always feels like someone is hitting her from behind, and she looks around every time she goes out.
At this moment, she sat in a chair and looked at this month's account book, and couldn't help but sigh: "The Bai Mansion is no longer as glorious as it used to be. It can't even take out a thousand taels of silver."
"Mother!" Bai Xiyue shouted as she entered the eldest lady's room.
The eldest lady put down the account book and said, "Xiyue, weren't you in the palace accompanying the Queen Mother? Why are you back?"
Bai Xiyue told the story of being fed a sterilization drug.
The eldest lady's eyes flashed with ferocity, and she angrily scolded: "You are so stupid, what does it have to do with you whether she drinks or not.
You could have stayed outside, but you had to get yourself involved.
The Queen Mother lost nothing, and neither did Xiao Qi. In the end, you were the one who got screwed. How could I have given birth to such a fool like you? "
The eldest lady looked very disappointed and extremely angry.
Bai Xiyue burst into tears at this time: "Mother, I don't want this to happen, but I can't live without children for the rest of my life.
Now I can only seek help from the ghost doctor, but it requires 100,000 taels of silver. I hope mother will be generous and donate."
"One hundred thousand taels!" The eldest lady was shocked.
“All the silver in our house is only one thousand taels.
You don't know that the house was robbed a few months ago. Not a single penny was left in the storehouse, and my mother's small private storehouse was also emptied.
The Bai Mansion is no longer as glorious as it once was. It is just an empty shell. Mother cannot afford the 100,000 taels of silver."
