Prince Yong had just come from prison. How could he smell of an aphrodisiac?
If he'd picked it up by accident, how potent must the drug have been?
Ji Qingwu couldn't quite figure it out, and her brow furrowed slightly.
Tao Wanxin sat up, leaning against the headboard, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Is it my pregnancy..."
Ji Qingwu said, "No, the baby is perfectly fine, Princess Consort. There's no need to worry."
Only then did Tao Wanxin relax, stroking her belly, which showed a small bump even as she lay flat.
"Qingwu, there's something I want to ask you."
Ji Qingwu walked back to her side. "Go ahead."
Tao Wanxin's expression was calm as she whispered, "The Prince... does he have another woman on the side?"
Ji Qingwu asked in surprise, "Why do you ask, Princess Consort? Did you notice Prince Yong acting suspiciously, or did he give himself away somehow?"
Tao Wanxin shook her head. "It's just a guess, really."
