Wanfu Palace.

Ruan Ningyun was dressed up beautifully.

She looks fine now, and after having her blood let down more than a dozen times, the toxins in her body have faded a lot, and there are basically no signs of poisoning.

In this case, she had to continue her great cause! She picked up the snack box and went to the imperial study, intending to continue sending soup to Chu Younan. If one year doesn't work, then send it for two years. If two years doesn't work, then send it for three to five years. One day, I will be able to impress Chu Younan!

By then, if she gets pregnant with a prince, at least she won’t have to be buried alive with Chu Younan when he dies.

But when she arrived outside the imperial study, she saw Su Xiujie's back just entering.

Her ears haven't healed yet! What a coincidence! So she moved forward, waiting for Su Xiujie to heal her ears.

A voice came from inside the house.

"Did you cure the poison for Young Master Li?" This was Chu Younan's voice.

"Yes." Su Xiujie said politely.

"Have you seen another one with the same poison?"

"Yes, it is Concubine Zi in the palace..."

"She and Mr. Li were poisoned by the same poison?" Chu Younan raised his voice.

Ruan Ningyun pricked up her good ear and listened hard.

Inside the house, Su Xiujie saw Chu Younan's gaze and realized that he had said the wrong thing. He hurriedly said, "It's similar! It's just similar! The young master of the Li family is a man, so the poison has severely damaged his kidneys. I'm afraid he will not be able to live in the future. But Concubine Zi is a woman..."

Bang! There was a sound of something breaking outside the door.

Chu Younan shouted angrily: "Who?!"

Tang Jiang came in in a panic, "Your Majesty, it's Concubine Zi who brought you soup!"

Speak of the devil, and he will appear. Does it have to be so fast?

Before Chu Younan could speak, and before Tang Jiang could pass the message, Ruan Ningyun had already staggered in.

She didn't care about the presence of any ministers, nor her manners, she grabbed the corner of Su Xiujie's clothes and said in a trembling voice: "Prince Zunyi, you said that the young master of the Li family and I were poisoned by the same poison?"

"……yes."

"Will this poison damage the kidneys?" Ruan Ningyun's hands also trembled.

"Uh..." Su Xiujie didn't say anything. He actually came to this conclusion when he was treating Li Zeng, but later he also thought that this poison might be specially made for men and might not have the same effect on women.

Ruan Ningyun quickly rolled up her sleeves and held out her hand to him, "Quick! Feel my pulse!"

In front of Chu Younan, Su Xiujie took out a handkerchief and took her pulse.

You don’t know until you number it, and you’ll be shocked when you number it!

Ruan Ningyun hurriedly asked: "How is it? How is it?!"

"Uh..." Su Xiujie still didn't say anything. He wasn't very good at lying.

But Ruan Ningyun had already seen everything from his eyes.

"I...can't have children anymore?" Ruan Ningyun was filled with despair.

She really wanted to cut the person who poisoned her into pieces!

Su Xiujie still didn't say anything, but his eyes betrayed the truth again.

Ruan Ningyun looked out the window with a blank look in her eyes. "Who is it? Who poisoned me?"

"I suspect it was the Princess of the North..." Li Shi said in a low voice.

"Princess of the North?!" Ruan Ningyun looked at him in confusion.

"It's the girl named Danzhu." Chu Younan said in a deep voice, and then he waved his hand, "Li Qing and Jiang Qing, you two go down first!"

Li Shi was quite surprised when he said that.

Why did Li Shilai come? He wanted King Zunyi to give him free medical treatment, but he didn't seem to achieve his goal.

"Your Majesty, my son..." Li Shi said timidly.

Chu Younan glanced at Su Xiujie, "Can you go and take another look?"

Su Xiujie shook his head directly, "The poison has been removed, but I can't handle the sequelae. How about this, I ask my master to come over to take a look?"

Li Shi nodded quickly. The master must be more skilled than the apprentice!

But before he could feel happy for a moment, he heard Su Xiujie say again: "My master doesn't make a move easily. When he does, the price is two or three times of mine."

Li Shi almost vomited blood.

Well, let's wait and see whether Yu Zihe is pregnant with a boy or a girl...

Everyone left, but Ruan Ningyun did not. She looked at Chu Younan mournfully and knelt down, "Your Majesty, I am still your cousin after all. You cannot watch me live a miserable life without any offspring!"

Chu Younan was speechless, "What do you want me to do?"

She couldn't have children anymore, what could he do...

Even if she could have a baby, he had no plans to do anything with her...

Ruan Ningyun suddenly had an idea and said, "The Queen is blessed with many children. Can you adopt a child from her knee for me? I don't want a prince, I just want a princess!"

Chu Younan's face darkened, "Nonsense!"

Are you kidding? Su Bei loves the children like the apples of his eye. He has to take time out every day to play with them. How could he be willing to let others raise them?

But when the royal family adopts a child, they cannot just adopt anyone they want. The child must be of royal blood.

Ruan Ningyun suddenly had another idea, "Your Majesty, what about Princess Ruyang? She is also of royal blood, but she has no father or mother. How pitiful..."

Chu Younan shook his head. "My mother likes that child and has always wanted to raise him. If I give him to you, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate."

Speaking of Queen Mother Yao, Ruan Ningyun's mind turned for a few times, and then she retreated quietly. She didn't give up, but she knew that this matter would not make sense from Chu Younan, so she planned to change direction.

The next day, she asked someone to deliver a letter to Mrs. Ruan. When the two met, Ruan Ningyun told her about her situation, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly.

Then they reached a consensus that Ruan Ningyun must have a child to ensure her future wealth.

So the mother and daughter went to see Queen Mother Yao. Unfortunately, Queen Mother Yao was not in the Cining Palace, but in the Kunning Palace.

The two of them went to Kunning Palace together.

They did not see Princess Ruyang, nor did Queen Mother Yao.

"Ruyang's typhoid fever is a bit serious. I asked Prince Zunyi to take care of her for a few days. Mother, don't worry. The wet nurse is with her and will not let her suffer any grievances." Su Bei said.

Speaking of typhoid fever, Empress Dowager Yao glanced at Ruan Ningyun.

It was she who passed the typhoid fever to Ruyang, otherwise why would such a young child have to live alone in Prince Zunyi's Palace.

Ruan Ningyun did not dare to speak. In fact, now was not a good time to speak. She had to think of a better way to make Queen Mother Yao willingly give Ruyang to her to raise.

This wait lasted for more than ten days.

She sent palace maids to keep an eye on Kunning Palace until she heard that Prince Zunyi had brought Ruyang into the palace, and then she went to Cining Palace.

She didn't dress up well today, and didn't even put on makeup, and looked a little haggard.

As soon as she entered the Cining Palace, she burst into tears, "Mother! Mother, please save me!"

Queen Mother Yao asked anxiously: "What's wrong?"

Ruan Ningyun walked forward with tears in her eyes and knelt down at the feet of Queen Mother Yao, "Mother! That day, Prince Zunyi said that I am afraid that I can no longer have children..."

The purpose of taking a concubine is to have children. When Queen Mother Yao heard that she couldn't have children, she felt unhappy. But she was her niece after all, so she still cared about her. "Is what he said true?"

"I have asked the imperial physician to come these days. Although they dare not say it openly, I can see that..."

This is a serious problem! Queen Mother Yao said in a deep voice: "Who poisoned you?"

"Your servant... doesn't know..." Ruan Ningyun looked at her innocently.

If it was Bei Danzhu, Queen Mother Yao couldn't do anything to her, but if she said she didn't know, then it was most likely the Queen...

As expected, Queen Mother Yao's face darkened. "Please ask the Queen to come over!"
