I want Wei Shuang to have a child for me.
"Your Majesty, you mustn't!" Wang Ruofu gritted his teeth, his choice of success already clear.
That damned regent has bewitched the emperor!
"Why?" Xiao Yu asked, adopting a humble and inquiring attitude.
“Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. You should establish a virtuous empress to secure the dynasty. All the consorts of the Great Liang are of the female lineage. There is no precedent for a concubine to become empress. Only when Heaven and Earth are in harmony can the lineage continue. A concubine cannot bear children for Your Majesty. Therefore, it is not permissible.” Wang Ruofu forced himself to calm down, trying to persuade Xiao Yu to change his mind in time by using ancestral rites and laws.
"Is that so?" Xiao Yu neither agreed nor disagreed, but simply nodded. He looked out the window, where two birds were nesting in the willow tree.
Then as long as Wei Shuang gives birth to a child for me, there will be no problem.
Xiao Yu happily asked Feng Shun to escort the Grand Tutor out of the palace.
Then, the unfortunate Imperial Physician Li dragged Imperial Physician Zhang to the outside of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
"Brother Li, His Majesty only summoned you, why did he have to drag me along?" Zhang, the imperial physician, was extremely uneasy about being summoned to the emperor without being invited.
“Brother Zhang, when Eunuch Feng came to invite me, he said he wanted to see the symptoms of Qiankun combination. You know my family has never produced a Qiankun, so I am not good at this.” Thinking of the Regent’s inquiry about the illness a few days ago, Physician Li’s keen intuition told him that it was definitely not a good thing.
He had spent the last two days searching through ancient books, and finally found the relevant record in the corner of a yellowed and old book. The more he read, the more shocked he became. Just as he was thinking about how to report back, Xiao Yu summoned him.
From Wei Shuang's words, it can be inferred that His Majesty was completely unaware of this matter. However, after reviewing the ancient books and discovering the "brand," Physician Li knew that this matter could not be kept from His Majesty.
Perfect timing, let's explain it today.
"My two ministers, please rise. Just pretend we're in the courtyard outside the palace, there's no need to be so formal." Xiao Yu sat behind his desk, not wearing a dragon robe, but a light green robe, looking exactly the same as outside the palace. He rested his chin on his hands, sitting very casually.
The two imperial physicians relaxed and quickly rose to express their gratitude.
"Has Your Majesty fallen ill again today?" Imperial Physician Li took a step forward, observing Xiao Yu's complexion out of the corner of his eye.
"Thanks to Minister Li's medicine, I am much better now." After drinking bitter medicine for several days, Xiao Yu's face turned pale. He never wanted to see the medicine jar containing new medicine again.
"Then why did His Majesty summon you today...?" Physician Li heard that Xiao Yu's voice was full of energy, but his face was still shocking. He knew that this young emperor must have used some means to avoid the medicine again. He tugged at Physician Zhang, who was standing next to him, not daring to move.
"Feng Shun said he has already explained it to you." Xiao Yu also looked at Physician Zhang, bowed amicably, and gestured for someone to reply.
Physician Zhang nervously opened the floodgates: "The affairs of Heaven and Earth are numerous and complex. I wonder which category Your Majesty wishes to inquire about?"
Xiao Yu made no attempt to hide anything and went straight to the point: "I have recently developed a fondness for Gan Jun. I wonder if either of you ministers has any way to help Gan Jun conceive."
Physician Zhang stood frozen in place, while Physician Li stumbled and fell flat on his face, giving Xiao Yu a demonstration of a fall on flat ground.
Putting aside the fact that the chances of the emperor conceiving are extremely low, who will give birth between His Majesty and the Regent?
The more Physician Li thought about it, the more suffocated he felt. His face turned pale in just a few breaths. He collapsed to the ground, his body weak and powerless, and said in a panic, "Your Majesty, you must not harm your health!"
"...Of course it's not for me to use, I'm giving it to Wei... to that Gan Jun." Xiao Yu was displeased, his words slipping out and almost revealing Wei Shuang's identity.
Physician Zhang, with his keen hearing and sharp eyesight, immediately recognized the name "Wei" from the name Xiao Yu had mentioned. His legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground along with Physician Li.
"The two 'adopted sons' will be repulsed by each other from the moment they smell each other's fragrance. If they happen to be in the same season, they will fight. Let alone make love, it will be difficult for them to even see each other. As for the fact that the 'adopted sons' are willing to get pregnant, I have never heard of it."
Zhang Taiyi had heard about Wei Shuang's secret hunting trip with Xiao Yu a few days ago. He didn't go with them, but His Majesty had just returned to the palace and was in a hurry to ask them about the secret formula for the emperor's pregnancy... Something must have happened between the Regent and His Majesty at the hunting grounds!
Physician Zhang looked at Physician Li with resentment, secretly angry that his good brother had betrayed him.
"I will make him willing." Xiao Yu twisted his sleeves, irritably swinging a jade artifact in his hand. "Just tell me if there's a way."
"Your Majesty, this is truly a rare occurrence. Please allow me and Physician Zhang to discuss it together in the side hall." After hearing Xiao Yu's plan, Physician Li recalled the "brand" that had been giving him a headache, and his head throbbed with pain.
"We've discussed it and are here to report back." Xiao Yu swung her legs and turned to the inner room, gently nibbling at the cat.
Before long, Little Mountain King howled and ran from the dragon bed to Xiao Yu, easily jumped onto Xiao Yu's lap, and affectionately rubbed its head against him.
The two fled into a side hall.
As soon as he regained his footing, Physician Zhang slapped Physician Li hard on the back: "You've kept such a big matter concerning His Majesty and the Prince a secret, Brother Li!"
Physician Li stumbled forward several times, then turned back dejectedly, saying, "I only just found out myself. I was just about to ask His Majesty about it today..."
"You dare ask His Majesty?!" Physician Zhang glared.
"Brother Zhang, there's something even more important than His Majesty wanting the Regent to have his child. I need to ask you for advice." Imperial Physician Li was also in a state of great distress, the matter "branded" in his mind kept swirling around.
"What could be more important than His Majesty's desire to take the Regent into the harem?" Imperial Physician Zhang's heart tightened again.
"Branding," Physician Li tentatively suggested.
As expected, Physician Zhang's expression changed. He put his arm around Physician Li's shoulder and walked a few more meters inside, lowering his voice to say, "The Regent has committed such a treasonous act against His Majesty?!"
"Why is Brother Zhang so certain that the Regent branded His Majesty?" Physician Li had only dared to make this conclusion after hearing Wei Shuang say that he had injected Gan Junxin incense into the back of Xiao Yu's neck. He was puzzled as to how Physician Zhang had deduced this.
"Brother Li is indeed not skilled in the ways of Heaven and Earth. Imprinting is a rare feat, requiring two soulmates to be extremely compatible. Brother Li should know that the higher the compatibility between soulmates, the easier it is to fall in love and give birth to outstanding offspring. To achieve the conditions for early imprinting, the compatibility between His Majesty and the Regent must be at least ninety-eight percent!"
If Xiao Yu were not the emperor, and Wei Shuang were not the regent, Physician Zhang would have sincerely congratulated the new emperor upon hearing of the branding. But alas... it was the regent who branded the new emperor.
“Something’s not right. His Majesty hasn’t differentiated yet and has already taken the secret medicine. He will inevitably differentiate into a godfather in the future.” Imperial Physician Li noticed something was amiss.
"Yes, that's the problem. Since it happened between two powerful figures, it must mean that the Regent has long harbored impure intentions towards His Majesty!"
The Qiankun Imprint with extremely high compatibility is uncontrollable, but Xiao Yu is still far from being separated, and will inevitably become the emperor in the future. This cannot be Xiao Yu's own initiative. His Majesty, who just asked how to make Wei Shuang give birth to the imperial heir, how could he possibly offer his neck to Wei Shuang to bite!
Physician Zhang's face turned very ugly. He had taken care of Xiao Yu for many years, watching her grow from eight to fifteen years old, a full seven years. Now, he suddenly learned that Xiao Yu had been taken away by someone with ill intentions, and Physician Zhang felt very bad.
A brand can only be covered by a mark; before it is covered, its effect is no different from that of a mark.
In other words, Xiao Yu, like the marked Kun Zhe, would also be unable to control her desire to be close to and rely on Wei Shuang. This is an instinct driven entirely by the body. The moment the mark is locked, the perception of the marked person will be blurred.
"This matter must be explained to His Majesty." Imperial Physician Zhang said firmly, his clenched fist trembling slightly, his face full of "I hope His Majesty will reconsider!"
"What about the Regent...?" Physician Li hesitated. "...After His Majesty returned to the palace, the Regent asked me about this matter, but I searched through ancient books before finding any record of the brand. I did not answer the Regent at the time."
"It cannot be spoken of. The Regent wields immense power and can now even influence His Majesty's mind! If he were to learn of this, wouldn't the Great Liang dynasty change hands?!" Physician Zhang lowered his voice even further.
"I understand. If he asks, I'll just say I couldn't find it." Physician Li's face also showed worry. He recalled the fleeting light in his mind and stammered, "Then...then...the emperor is pregnant..."
Imperial Physician Zhang sighed again: "If His Majesty were branded on one side, the resulting differentiation might actually allow the Regent to conceive a child..."
Physician Li: "…………"
Alright, to prevent His Majesty from being branded with romantic notions and impulsively having a child with the Regent, this matter must be kept secret.
The two imperial physicians returned to Xiao Yu, looking heartbroken.
"Your Majesty, please forgive our incompetence. The conditions for your son to conceive are very strict, and we really cannot think of a way to increase your chances of getting pregnant," the two imperial physicians said in unison.
"It's just strict, not absolute?" Xiao Yu's eyes lit up.
The two imperial physicians exchanged an awkward glance. Physician Zhang could only continue to advise, "It is unheard of for a concubine to conceive. Even if she does give birth to an heir, the chances of succession are slim. The imperial line is of utmost importance. Once His Majesty has established his own lineage, he will likely need to take more concubines of female descent to enrich the harem and ensure the continuation of the imperial line..."
"I haven't differentiated yet, it's too early to talk about these things now." Xiao Yu, having heard what he didn't want to hear, directly used the fact that he hadn't differentiated to shut up the two imperial physicians.
The two imperial physicians felt a chill in their hearts once again.
They clearly underestimated the Regent's importance in His Majesty's heart.
No wonder the branding went so smoothly... it was done in one go.
"Your Majesty... I have something else to report!" Physician Li mustered his courage, stepped forward, and bowed deeply before speaking.
Xiao Yu was surprised to see Physician Li so serious, so he nodded with interest and agreed, "Speak."
Thus, the concept of "brand" was added to Xiao Yu's increasingly rich knowledge base. His eyes darted around as he confirmed again: "So, Wei Shuang secretly bit me while he was in the hunting grounds?"
"...?"
Is this the important point?!
"I used to fall asleep whenever I smelled the fragrance on Wei Shuang, but I would suffer from insomnia at night. So that's why."
"Yes... because you haven't differentiated yet, you rely more on the prince's incense." Physician Li replied.
"The incense I will use in the future will actually have the sweet scent of osmanthus, but it does match Wei Shuang's wine flavor." Xiao Yu tugged at the tail of the little tiger in his arms and muttered to himself.
Once branded, it can only be covered by a mark, which means that even if Wei Shuang doesn't admit to liking me, he is temporarily inseparable from me.
Xiao Yu already had a reason in mind to force Wei Shuang to stay in the Hall of Mental Cultivation to serve him in bed.

Here's the first draft of the copy I finally managed to squeeze out: "The Little Fox Ran Away After Getting Eggs."
Shameless old dragon top x cute, seductive fox bottom
Fox Qi is the mountain god who has just taken over Mount Sumeru. He accidentally picked up an injured human. The human was very beautiful, and the fox liked him very much. So Fox Qi took him back to the fox den and climbed to the highest branch every day to deliver flowers to the human.
After a month, the little fox was stopped at the door by a handsome human.
Human: Why does the little fox always send me flowers?
Fox Qi blushed: Because the fox wants to mate with you!
Human: ...?
Could this be the legendary fox spirit?
The human said seriously: I am a human now, and you are a fox, we cannot...
Fox Qi immediately panicked: What should we do? Little Mink said that spring has arrived, and we'll die if we don't mate.
People shamefully abandon their bottom line: ...Okay.
After spring, Fox Qi found that she had gained weight, her belly had become very big, it felt hard to the touch, like a lump, and it could move. Moreover, her magic power had disappeared. Everything seemed like a sign of an impending terminal illness.
Fox: Sure enough, foxes are punished when they're with humans.
The fox didn't want to be a burden to humans, so it wrote a crooked suicide note while crying: "Human, the fox is dying. Goodbye, human."
——
The Dragon God possessed the ability to make all things multiply. When he was bringing rain to Mount Sumeru, he was ambushed by a dragon and seriously injured, unable to return to his dragon form. He was picked up by a little fox spirit and taken to the Mustard Seed World in Mount Sumeru.
During his time with the fox, the dragon god fell in love with her and, quite naturally, slept with her during her mating season.
Not long after, the fox became pregnant. The dragon god carefully raised the fox until she had garlic-clove-like fur. Then one morning, he found a suicide note left by the fox on the table.
Dragon God: Oh no! I forgot this is a stupid fox!
The Dragon God immediately transformed into his original form to search for the fox's aura. Once he found it, he flew to the fox without stopping.
Dragon God: Little Qi, I've finally found you. Come back with me...
Unexpectedly, upon hearing the dragon god speak in a human voice, the fox brandished its claws and charged at him.
Fox Qi cried again, her eyes red: You ate humans?! The fox will fight you to the death!
