Chapter 989 Princess
"Evil invades the fetus?" Xiao Yan frowned. "What is it?"
Madam Qin said, "It's the damage to the woman's uterus."
Seeing that Xiao Yan was still frowning after she finished speaking, Madam Qin thought he didn't understand, so she said something more simple:
"Women are able to conceive because of their uterus. If evil invades the uterus, it can make conception difficult at best, and even kill them at worst."
"The Empress's situation is somewhat special. It's not that she can't get pregnant in the future, but her body can't handle another pregnancy. Even if she appears to be well, once she becomes pregnant, the child in her belly will drain the mother's vitality, making it difficult for her to bear it."
"The Empress must not get pregnant within five years. Even after five years, if she wants to have a child again, it will depend on her physical condition."
Madam Qin paused while speaking and couldn't help but glance at Xiao Yan. Although she stopped at the point, Xiao Yan was smart enough to understand the unfinished meaning of her words.
Tang Ning's situation is not just that she cannot have children within five years. If her physical condition does not allow it after five years and she does not raise a child, she will most likely never be able to get pregnant again in her lifetime. In other words, Tang Ning may only have this one daughter in her life.
Xiao Yan frowned, "Besides not being able to get pregnant or give birth, can she recover?"
Madam Qin nodded: "Of course it is possible, but it will take more time to find some good medicinal herbs..."
"That's good."
"His Majesty?"
Madam Qin looked at Xiao Yan's suddenly relaxed expression and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, wanting to say something but stopping herself: "Do you understand what I mean? The Queen may never get pregnant again..."
"I know." Xiao Yan interrupted Madam Qin: "It's just that we can't have children anymore. I just hope An Ning is well."
Not to mention that she and Tang Ning already have a child, which is enough to inherit their bloodline and deal with the court. Even if they don't have a child now, he will choose to let Aning be safe. And to be honest, he doesn't like children making noise. The reason he cares is because it is Aning's bloodline.
In his eyes, nothing in the world is as important as Tang Ning.
Xiao Yan looked at Madam Qin and said, "One child is enough. Even if we don't have any more in the future, it won't matter. You just need to take good care of Tang Ning's health. I'll send someone to find anything you need. You can also prepare some contraceptive prescriptions for me later."
He thought for a moment and said,
"Forget it, I'm afraid the contraception is not sufficient. Please prepare a decoction for me to make me a sterile child."
He loves Tang Ning, and after she recovers, it is impossible for them to be without sex forever. Besides, no one can control themselves when it comes to love. Instead of worrying about letting Tang Ning take unnecessary risks, it is better to get rid of it once and for all.
Madam Qin never expected that Xiao Yan would actually say this. He didn't care about the child at all, but instead wanted to make his own family line extinct.
Madam Qin was stunned for a moment before quickly saying, "You don't have to kill your heir. This thing is harmful to your health. I can prescribe some contraceptives for Your Majesty to take, once a month. I can also place some safe contraceptives with the Empress, so that she can be on the safe side."
Xiao Yan looked at her: "Are you sure?"
Madam Qin: "Of course, if you can't even do this, then I don't need this brand anymore."
Xiao Yan finally felt relieved after hearing this: "Don't tell Aning about this, and don't tell anyone else."
Madam Qin agreed, "Of course I won't tell anyone, but Your Majesty, the Queen has only given birth to one princess, and she is the only one in your harem. If there are no children for a long time, everyone in the court will definitely discuss it..."
It's not that she looks down on women, nor does she think that women are inferior to men. It's just that the world is like this. No matter how capable a girl is, she is naturally inferior to men. Ordinary powerful officials who don't have sons will be gossiped about and accused of having no descendants, let alone the royal family.
It is not easy for Xiao Yan to hold the throne. Someone must inherit such a vast empire. If the queen remains childless, it will not only be a small matter for outsiders to talk about it, but some people may develop ambitions.
Xiao Yan snorted coldly upon hearing this: "So what if it's Princess?"
He and Tang Ning's bloodline were born to be the masters of the world.
Besides, who says a princess can’t inherit the throne?
Madam Qin understood what he meant and suddenly opened her eyes wide.
She opened her mouth to say something, but saw a cold look between Xiao Yan's eyebrows. It was obvious that he had already made up his mind, so she swallowed back all the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Madam Qin's original worries were completely suppressed. She couldn't help but glance behind the screen in the inner room. "When I first met Your Majesty, I felt that you were different from others. Now I envy the Empress a little."
"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will take good care of the Queen and will not let anyone know what happened today."
…
Xiao Yan had led troops in battles and had narrowly escaped death several times before. Later, on his way back to the capital, he was attacked and seriously injured in Pingchong Prefecture.
Madam Qin discussed Tang Ning's matter with Xiao Yan, and then she examined Xiao Yan's injuries. After Xiao Yan took off his outer shirt, she saw that the wounds across his waist and abdomen had already scabbed over. Madam Qin examined him again before saying, "Your Majesty, these injuries have healed well, but they haven't fully healed yet. You must be more careful recently and avoid fighting with others, as this may cause the wounds to rupture."
Xiao Yan chuckled: "Now that I'm back in the palace, who can I fight with?"
Putting his coat back on, he tied the laces and asked, "How's your fellow apprentice?"
Madam Qin said, "His internal injuries have healed, but his limbs are crippled. Fortunately, his mind is still clear and he remembers the trouble he caused before."
"I've looked at the poisonous plague recipe that Lu Zhinian took from him before. It's a little different from what we encountered. I guess Lu Zhinian asked someone to replace some of the poisonous herbs, so the toxicity has changed. But even if it changes, it still remains essentially the same. My junior brother and I have found a way, and we should be able to develop an antidote in the next three to five days."
"Your Majesty, please have someone keep an eye on this. As long as we can get through these few days, the epidemic will no longer be a big deal."
Xiao Yan nodded. "Although Lu Zhinian was taken away by Wu Ya, the people around him are in my hands. That Chunsheng has been following Lu Zhinian since the time he was in the Lu family."
"The whereabouts of those people Lu Zhinian released are unknown, but there will definitely be people keeping an eye on the capital. We just need to conceal the news of Lu Zhinian's capture and let Chunsheng and his men go for a stroll. It shouldn't be a problem to keep it a secret for a few days. You should work hard these few days and develop the antidote as soon as possible."
Madam Qin said, "Okay."
Madam Qin hurried out of the palace to find Zhuo Shuisheng to develop an antidote. She left in a hurry after leaving the prescription and medical instructions.
Xiao Yan took a look at the prescriptions and then called Pan Xi in.
"This is the prescription Lady Qin wrote for the Queen. Go get the medicine according to the recipe. Once it's ready, have someone send it over." After a pause, she handed him another one and said, "Put this prescription away. Don't let anyone see it."
Pan Xi quickly and carefully took it: "I obey your order."
