Twice Nearly Dropped by Her

"How do you know... she'll definitely be able to have children?" Diana Su's voice was sweet and coy.

But as Grace listened, she felt a chill run down her spine.

Prince Cheng said, "She's in excellent health; she'll definitely be able to bear children."

"But what if she can't? Does that mean I can give you children instead, and then adopt them all back?"

"I've already said, that's highly unlikely..."

Diana Su gave the most charming yet cruel smile. "If you want a woman to never have children, there are plenty of ways!"

"Oh? What ways?"

"Did you find the Celestial Essence Pill I asked you for?"

"I only found one. Princess Maya Summers promised she'd help me figure something out."

"If you mix the Celestial Essence Pill with Scarlet Rouge and give it to her a few times, she'll be permanently infertile—never able to have children again."

Princess Maya Summers stared daggers at Diana Su.

So that's what Prince Cheng wanted the pill for? Ha!

"How do you know all this?" Prince Cheng asked, half-believing, half-doubting.

"Where do you think I came from? It's a secret recipe from the madam at the brothel! Plenty of girls lost their fertility this way!"

Princess Maya Summers glared at Prince Cheng again.

He'd never agree to this!

She loved him so much—he had to feel it. How could he possibly do this to her?

But Prince Cheng just sighed in relief, gently stroked Diana Su's belly, and said, "Alright, let's do it! From now on, we can have children without worry."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Prince Cheng!"

"Once she's married in, I won't consummate the marriage right away. First, I'll make sure she's infertile, then I'll sleep with her." Prince Cheng said. "In the future, our eldest son will be named heir."

"Thank you, Prince Cheng!" Diana Su happily hugged him.

"It's just a shame you won't be able to raise the child yourself..." Prince Cheng said. "Such a pity!"

"My status is lowly. As long as I can stay by your side, I have no other wishes!"

......

On the way back, Grace was almost dropped twice by Princess Maya Summers, who was dragging her along.

When they finally made it outside, Princess Maya Summers set her down and just stood there, staring blankly, her eyes empty and lost.

"Princess Maya Summers, everyone knows about Prince Cheng and that woman," Grace said. "After we came last time, I kept feeling weird about it, so I came again.

I saw them together, and Prince Cheng even said he'd put a sensing talisman on you. Whenever you got within ten paces of him, he'd know. So, when we saw that 'sister-in-law' last time, it was all just an act because he knew you were hiding in the vat."

Princess Maya Summers stared blankly at Grace.

"Later, I asked the Grandmaster's apprentice to remove the talisman from your body when Kevin Zhuo was poisoned," Grace said.

"Really? No wonder she made me do all those weird things back then. So it was to remove the talisman?"

Grace nodded. "The talisman was removed, so I tricked you into coming to check things out. Princess Maya Summers, you absolutely can't marry Prince Cheng! Otherwise, he'll definitely scheme against you!"

Princess Maya Summers looked at her, suddenly hugged her tightly, and choked out, "I was so awful to you before—why are you helping me like this?"

"You weren't awful to me!" Grace said. "Princess Maya Summers was always good to me. It was my own fault—I messed things up and made people mad."

"Thank you, Grace!" Princess Maya Summers's tears streamed down, soaking Grace's clothes...

Princess Maya Summers knew that when it came to the royal family, it wasn't as simple as doing whatever she wanted.

This was something the elders would have to handle.

So she told Dowager Lady Evelyn Zhu everything she'd seen and heard.
