Chapter 159: Chapter 160: Encounter Again

"What I want to teach you is a new type of medicine. We call it Western medicine back in our land. You should read this book, and once you understand it, come find me."

"Additionally, these two books contain secret methods that must absolutely not be disclosed to others."

After Chu Nanli gave her instructions, she let the two people leave.

Outside Chuxiang Garden, Ye Yunting just happened to be passing by and remembered Chu Nanli was resting for a few days, so he started to walk away.

But just as he was about to leave, he saw Zhuang Muyan at the entrance of Chuxiang Garden.

Ye Yunting frowned slightly, hadn’t Chu Nanli said she wasn’t seeing anyone?

...

After sending the two men away, Chu Nanli went back to her room to lie down and rest.

Although the fetus was only over four months old, her body had turned significantly heavier, not as light as before, and she had also become much sleepier.

After her nap, Chu Nanli entered the space and checked on the fetus inside the Breeding Box.

With Nanny looking after it, the condition of the fetus was actually better than she had expected.

"Grow well," whispered Chu Nanli to the incubator.

She then touched her stomach and found that she was starting to show.

Chu Nanli was slightly startled by the rapid growth of the fetus.

If not for her loose clothes, it would almost be noticeable.

It seemed necessary for her to divorce soon; otherwise, as her stomach grew day by day, it would definitely give her away.

By the time Chu Nanli left the space, it was already time for the evening meal.

Just after she had finished eating, Yanyan came in with medicine, speaking disdainfully, "Your Highness, Concubine Lin is indeed pretending to be kind; she only sustained making the medicine for one day before giving up."

"That’s probably because Ye Yunting isn’t at home today; no one’s around to watch her acting," Chu Nanli said indifferently, taking the medicine.

Just as she was about to drink it, she smelled something off.

"What’s wrong?" Yanyan saw Chu Nanli frown, her heart slightly tugged, hoping nothing was wrong with the medicine!

Just as Chu Nanli was about to put the medicine back, she saw a fleeting figure at the door.

Immediately, she steeled her heart and drank it down.

"Princess Consort!" Yanyan became frantic, knowing that the medicine was problematic, yet the Princess Consort had still drunk it!

Chu Nanli kept her eyes on the window, and when she saw the figure leave, she pressed on her own acupoints and vomited out the medicine she had drunk.

Yanyan quickly patted Chu Nanli on the back, completely puzzled by her actions and very much bewildered.

"I’m fine, just a bit sleepy. You clean up and go downstairs," said Chu Nanli.

After speaking, Chu Nanli lay back down on the bed to feign sleep.

Though Yanyan did not understand, she trusted that the Princess Consort had her own plans and did not ask further. She tidied up the room and left.

The moment Chu Nanli lay on the bed, she indeed felt sleepy, suggesting that she had entered a period of lethargy, but she couldn’t sleep yet.

She needed to stay awake for a big scene.

The medicine brought just now contained slow-acting Fascination Powder.

This drug was colorless and tasteless, hard to detect, yet it could cloud the mind and heat up the body...

She had detected the scent because, although the drug itself was odorless, it produced a faint rotting smell when mixed with the blood-enriching herb Yellow Huang.

This was something Chu Nanli had accidentally discovered while once saving a life.

If one didn’t have a rich experience in practicing medicine, it would be very difficult to notice something wrong with the medicine. If the original owner, who knew little about medicine, had been here, she would definitely have fallen victim.

Concubine Lin had indeed gone to great lengths to harm her.

Chu Nanli wanted to see what Concubine Lin was up to and decided to pretend to fall for the trap, and closing her eyes heavily.

A moment later, Chu Nanli sensed a familiar presence approaching, and simultaneously, the door was knocked.
