"Ah Yuan, how about we don't have children?"
The thought of those women in the harem who died along with their unborn children filled Helian Jue with dread.
He gripped Xie Yuan's hand tightly, saying things that even he himself found absurd—
Since you're already pregnant, are you going to have an abortion?
In this day and age, abortion is also dangerous!
"Ah Xi, don't worry, I'll be careful!"
Xie Yuan smiled faintly. He Lianjue's words were clearly childish and unrealistic.
However, she sensed that Helian Jue valued her.
Faced with the age-old dilemma of whether to save the elder or the younger, Helian Jue unhesitatingly chose the former.
She secretly thought that perhaps, given how much Helian Jue valued her, she could replicate the obstetric surgery procedure.
In this era, both cesarean sections and episiotomies are quite shocking.
Leaving aside the family members, some pregnant women themselves cannot accept this.
Our bodies and hair are gifts from our parents.
In the eyes of the ancients, a cesarean section was probably similar to opening the abdomen.
And then there's episiotomy, such a private part that some women in later generations are ashamed to talk about, let alone the ancient indigenous people.
Most importantly, doctors in this era were almost all men.
There are differences between men and women.
In more particular households, a handkerchief is covered on the wrist when taking a pulse.
There's also the legend of pulse diagnosis via a suspended thread, which arose from the strict separation of men and women.
However, Xie Yuan had the foresight to open a clinic and a medical school.
The apprentices at the clinic and the students at the medical school were both men and women.
With the female physician by her side, Xie Yuan's childbirth was much easier.
Seeing Helian Jue's worried look, Xie Yuan still didn't mention the gynecological surgery.
No rush, there are still seven or eight months.
During this period, she can first conduct interviews among the local people.
Having spent the past two years traveling through time, Xie Yuan has gained a very profound understanding:
Never underestimate the ancients!
We must also remember the saying that "there are extraordinary people among the common people".
Just like with this new drug, Xie Yuan only suggested a direction and told Physician Feng how to conduct experiments. Physician Feng and others then developed a drug to cure the poison of miasma.
That's absolutely amazing.
This is also the wisdom of the ancients.
Perhaps, in this era, among ordinary people, some midwives have already realized the necessity of episiotomy and have secretly begun to perform it.
If there were a medical fanatic like Physician Feng who secretly dissected corpses to improve his medical skills, there must have also been many midwives who had seen two lives lost in a pregnancy and then tried to save the person!
Thinking of this, Xie Yuan's eyes lit up.
This time, even the usually perceptive Helian Jue failed to notice Xie Yuan's unusual behavior.
He was still lost in his thoughts, "After this child is born, we won't have any more!"
I'm already pregnant this time, so I have no choice but to give birth.
You can choose to have children, or you can choose not to.
Hmm, I'll find some time to visit Physician Feng and see if he has any good methods for preventing pregnancy.
Anyway, he never wanted A Yuan to face the danger of childbirth again.
"What if it's a daughter this time!"
Xie Yuan heard Helian Jue's words and asked a question softly.
Xie Yuan herself was a woman, so naturally she wouldn't discriminate against women over men.
But reality is too cruel, and Xie Yuan can't help but worry.
Helian Jue was not the Puxin Nan of later generations; his family truly had a throne to inherit.
If he had a daughter, Xie Yuan would have to give it his all for the greater cause and for the throne.
Unless she is willing to hand over Helian Jue to another woman and watch helplessly as the empire she and Helian Jue built together is inherited by the son of another woman!
Xie Yuan: ...I can't do it!
I am not a true noblewoman from ancient times. I cannot be virtuous enough to allow my husband to take a concubine, let alone treat other people's children as my own flesh and blood!
Xie Yuan's world is very small, and now that Helian Jue has joined it, it's already quite an achievement.
In the future, at most, I will have one more of my own flesh and blood.
Xie Yuan felt more of a sense of responsibility towards Xie Zhen, his younger brother.
As for illegitimate sons and daughters, haha, Xie Yuan would rather part ways with Helian Jue than compromise himself.
In fact, women can also be emperors.
And in this era, we are not much different from the Sui and Tang dynasties.
The restrictions on women were not as strict as they were during the Ming and Qing dynasties.
If Helian Jue were willing to raise his daughter, with his character and abilities, he could have created an empress!
Empress?
Thinking of this, Xie Yuan's heart started racing!
"I'm not afraid even if I have a daughter!"
Helian Jue was an ancient native. He was unaware that his queen's thoughts had wandered to a point he could hardly imagine.
He simply mistakenly thought that Xie Yuan was worried.
Yes, there's a 50/50 chance of having a boy or a girl.
If A-Yuan has a daughter, he will definitely be worried.
The Prince of Yue's mansion cannot be left without a successor.
Helian Jue pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and said with a hint of disdain in his eyes, "If all else fails, we'll just have the fourth son adopted!"
Xu came from a military family and was skilled in horsemanship and warfare.
There's definitely nothing wrong with my health.
Xu's birth mother gave birth to a series of children.
The woman resembled her mother, so Xu must have been a good mother.
Now that the Yong Prince's Mansion is affiliated with the Yue Prince's Mansion, Xu Shi and A Yuan have a good relationship.
A Yuan should be willing to adopt Xu's son.
but--
"No way! The fourth son is too stupid! What if all his sons are like him? I can't bear to have a stupid son!"
Having a stupid younger brother is enough to drive anyone crazy.
When another stupid son appeared, Helian Jue went completely mad.
"No other women will do!"
Ugly and stupid, they all tainted his bloodline.
