Chapter 245: A Turn of Events

Lao Qin quickly explained.

"That's what I told you. Master Pei was just afraid that you would be sad, so he kept me from telling you."

Chen Shiyi looked very bad.

"Hurry up and tell me."

"When you were sick in Jiangzhou, you almost died. In order to save your life, I gave you some strong medicine at that time. I also gave you Kuding tea later. There was nothing I could do. Compared to your life, not being able to have a child is the smallest loss."

Chen Shiyi's face turned pale when he heard this.

Can’t have kids?

It has been almost a year and my stomach hasn't moved at all. It turns out that in addition to my cold, I also have to take the medicine I rely on to survive.

Chen Shiyi asked in a hoarse voice.

"Is there really no hope?"

Old Qin sighed.

"It all depends on God's will."

Chen Shiyi suddenly had a splitting headache.

Bai Ling advised worriedly.

"Sister, don't be sad. You can't rush to have a baby. Besides, Lao Qin didn't say you can't have a baby. You should be relaxed."

Chen Shiyi waved his hands, his steps a little unsteady.

"I feel a little uncomfortable and want to take a nap."

She fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed, and slept very soundly. She wanted to have a good dream, but the dream was gloomy, suffocating, and cold, which made her feel very anxious and uncomfortable. There was a hazy cloth covering her eyes, and she wanted to tear it open, but her hands were tied. She did not struggle, but stayed quietly in the darkness, waiting for dawn.

However, darkness is a corner where even light cannot reach.

She opened her eyes with great effort. It was dark and quiet all around. Perhaps she had slept for too long, she felt extremely tired.

She clenched her palm weakly, but found that her hand was held tightly by a warm big hand.

A low murmur echoed in my ears, which sounded like worry, yet also filled with joy.

"Are you awake?"

His strong heartbeat was close to her, and Pei Luoshu's unique pleasant scent lingered over her, with a faint fragrance of green bamboo.

Chen Shiyi's voice was a little hoarse.

"Have I slept long?"

"Um."

"No wonder I always feel so tired."

"But are you hungry? There's some porridge warming on the stove. Would you like to have some?"

Chen Shiyi said lazily.

"I'm not hungry and don't want to eat."

Pei Luoshu held her in his arms.

"Don't think too much. I didn't mean to hide it from you. Just let things take their own course. It would be best if we have children, but it doesn't matter if we don't. I will be satisfied as long as I have you and I can spend the rest of our lives together."

"But you have a throne to inherit."

"Then don't inherit it. It's no big deal."

After hearing this, Chen Shiyi felt even more uncomfortable. The arrow was already on the string and he could not retreat.

Behind him, so many people are counting on him to bring honor to their family, wealth and glory.

The people behind him would not allow him to have a wife like this, who is not only of low status but also infertile.

She felt that her fate would be either death or divorce on the day when he had accomplished his great success. The best outcome would be that she and he would still be husband and wife, but he would have countless women in his backyard.

The best outcome, for her, is the worst outcome.

She could die, she could leave, but the thought of sharing him with so many people was worse than killing her.

Pei Luoshu hurriedly hugged her.

"Eleven, I know what you are thinking. I have used the power of my father's old subordinates to kill the Ninth Prince and the one who is sitting on the throne. After avenging my parents, I can establish a new emperor, such as the Fifth Prince. He has played with me since he was a child, and we are quite close. In the future, I will resign from this official position and follow you to travel around and see the beautiful mountains and rivers of Daye, and the small country you mentioned is very interesting..."

As Chen Shiyi listened, he felt warm in his heart.

He was the light in her darkness.

Chen Shiyi held his face and kissed him several times.

Pei Luoshu laughed softly.

Despite this, Chen Shiyi is still a little unhappy these days.

Wen Zhirou left her another message, saying that she was sick and wanted to talk to her.

Chen Shiyi had nothing to do anyway, so he took Bailing with him.

When they arrived at the gate of Wen Zhirou's house, Bai Songlin was still waiting there. He had a good-looking appearance. Although he was a little thinner than the previous snowy day, he still couldn't hide his elegant and graceful demeanor.

Chen Shiyi thought that the filthiness in his heart really ruined this beautiful appearance.

He still bowed to himself.

"The valiant county lord."

Chen Shiyi nodded and lowered his brows, then walked in calmly with Bailing.

On the large carved bed, the pear yellow gauze curtains fluttered slowly, and Wen Zhirou's face looked a little pale.

"What's wrong with you?"

"I caught a cold."

"It's winter and spring now, so it's easier to get sick."

Wen Zhirou looked at the gift that Chen Shiyi brought and glared at her.

"Next time, don't enter my courtyard again."

Chen Shiyi smiled.

"Okay, now that you mention it, I won't be polite. From now on, if you have good food and drinks here, I will definitely come over to eat for free."

Outside the door, a maid was delivering a message with lowered eyebrows.

"Miss, Doctor Chu is here."

Chen Shiyi looked outside the door and saw a man with crane-like hair, a childish face, and a blue straight-leg shirt walked in, carrying a medicine box in his hand.

She quickly stood up and gave way to the doctor.

Doctor Chu felt Wen Zhirou's pulse and spoke in a gentle voice.

"Miss, you are fine. Just take a few days' rest and don't be too greedy about the beautiful scenery outside."

Wen Zhirou nodded, and then continued.

"Doctor Chu, you are a skilled doctor. Can you help my friend take her pulse? She looks pale and seems to be in trouble."

After hearing this, Chen Shiyi raised his hand and touched his face. Did he look so bad today?

She thought, it was just a pulse check, there was nothing wrong with it.

She sat at the round table, quietly waiting for Dr. Chu's diagnosis.

After a moment, Doctor Chu withdrew his hand and spoke slowly.

"Madam has too much cold in her body, and she has taken medicine that makes it difficult for women to conceive."

Chen Shiyi nodded.

"Doctor Chu is an excellent doctor."

Wen Zhirou asked anxiously.

"Then you are not? What should we do, Doctor Chu, do you have a solution?"

Doctor Chu laughed.

"The lady's coldness must be treated with Kudingcha. The doctor who treated you before must have great medical skills. However, if you want to have a child, it is not impossible."

Chen Shiyi's eyes suddenly lit up.

"You mean, with my broken body, I can still..."

Doctor Chu smiled and nodded.

"Of course. I'll prescribe you a prescription. You have to take it for at least three months. Then I'll give you acupuncture. If nothing unexpected happens, you should be able to recover. But the process will be extremely painful. Can you bear it?"

Chen Shiyi's eyes were a little moist.

As long as it can be cured, no matter what the pain is!

Only after Doctor Chu left did Chen Shiyi start to cheer and rejoice.

"I never thought that he was a miracle doctor..."
