The emperor, however, showed no sign of joy. Instead, his face was stern. After a long while, he finally made up his mind and said, "Huan'er, let's abort the child."
Ji Yunhuan pushed the emperor aside and stood up, angrily saying, "Your Majesty, what do you mean? Are you doubting me? This is my child, and I will never abort him even if I die!"
The Empress Dowager was so angry that she hit the Emperor on the back and cursed, "You evil creature! What nonsense are you talking about? Who is gossiping in front of you again? Huan'er is an innocent person who loves you wholeheartedly, and yet you hurt her like this? Apologize to Huan'er!"
The emperor was scolded so much that he couldn't even lift his head. He took Ji Yunhuan's hand and explained in a good-tempered manner:
"I was wrong. That's not what I meant. Of course I believe you, but when you gave birth to Han'er, it was so dangerous. I almost lost you. If it happens again, I'm really scared."
"We already have a crown prince. Han'er is intelligent and will definitely inherit the throne of the Great Zhao Kingdom in the future. Why take any more risks?"
Ji Yunhuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that in the eyes of the emperor, giving birth to a child was such a terrible thing.
It was so terrible that the emperor didn't even want children.
"Your Majesty, what nonsense are you talking about? Giving birth is dangerous, but is abortion not dangerous?"
The emperor was also a bit troubled. "I asked the Imperial Hospital to conduct a thorough study. They will surely be able to develop an abortion drug that is least harmful to women. If they can't even handle such a small matter, what's the point of keeping them around?"
"What about the future? No wonder Your Majesty never touches me again?" Ji Yunhuan looked at the emperor with a teasing look on her face.
"I'll just bear with it. At worst, I'll ask the imperial physician to prescribe medicine for me to prevent you from getting pregnant..."
Ji Yunhuan reached out and covered the emperor's mouth. She had never thought that the emperor would be willing to do this for her. A sweet feeling secretly emerged in her heart, seeping into every part of her body.
"Your Majesty's body is precious. How can it be easily damaged? Do not say such things again in the future. Your Majesty loves me, but do I not love you too?"
"I am a blessed person as predicted by Master Huikong. He said I will have many children, so I will definitely be able to give birth safely. Moreover, a woman's second pregnancy is much easier than the first. Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will be fine."
