The next day, Shi Mingyue still wanted to find a doctor to see why there was no news after such a long time since their marriage. Fu Yueli thought that this matter could not be rushed, but Shi Mingyue felt that it was important, so he arranged to go with her to see an old doctor in Beijing.
The old doctor was a famous physician in the capital, his surname was Zhang. Old Zhang took the pulse of both of them one after another, his expression somewhat solemn. He then carefully looked at the lines on the palms of both of them, then gave a look, and his daughter-in-law made an excuse to ask Shi Mingyue to leave.
Shi Mingyue was a little confused, but she had to follow the woman out. The woman said she wanted her to choose a herbal sachet.
Fu Yueli was left alone, and he already felt something was wrong.
Zhang Lao's face was filled with embarrassment. He could not help but say, "Forgive me for being blunt, but Your Highness has been eroded by toxins since the womb. The damage to your body is irreversible. Although you can be humane, your Yuan Yang is inactive, so..."
Mr. Zhang hesitated again and again, but still couldn't say that sentence.
Fu Yueli felt cold all over, which was just as he guessed. After a long pause, he nodded, "I understand."
Fu Yueli was born blind. Old Zhang had gone to the palace to treat him and knew that he had been poisoned. He now felt very sorry for him.
Fu Yueli said goodbye and walked out the door. Shi Mingyue was holding two herbal sachets in her hands and smiled at him, "One for you and one for me."
Fu Yueli forced a smile, and he walked over and took her arm back home.
In the carriage, Shi Mingyue couldn't help asking, "What did Mr. Zhang say to you?" She noticed that Fu Yueli's condition was not right.
"Let's talk when we get back." Fu Yueli obviously didn't want to speak at the moment.
Shi Mingyue had no choice but to stop asking, feeling a little worried.
As soon as he returned to the mansion and his room, Fu Yueli closed the door with a very serious expression. Shi Mingyue had never seen him like this before and was shocked: "What happened?"
"Let's get divorced."
After a long time, Shi Mingyue kept looking into Fu Yueli's eyes. He was serious, which made her even more confused. "Why divorce?"
"Because my body was damaged by the poison I was once exposed to, we can't have children." Saying this was not only cruel to Shi Mingyue, but also cruel to Fu Yueli herself.
He was prepared. Shi Mingyue might cry because she couldn't accept it, or have other extreme reactions, but he couldn't be soft-hearted. The divorce was for her own good.
But he didn't expect that when Shi Mingyue heard what he said, her expression was quite calm for a moment, but then she laughed.
Fu Yueli was stunned. He didn't understand why she reacted like that.
Shi Mingyue smiled and shed tears again. She grabbed Fu Yueli and asked a question: "Do you love me?"
Fu Yueli immediately gave the answer to this question: "Love, but..."
"No buts! Since you love me, let me ask you, what if you can't get pregnant because of me? Will you divorce me?" Shi Mingyue interrupted him and asked another question.
Fu Yueli immediately gave an answer: "No."
"Since you can't do it, why should I?" Shi Mingyue finally couldn't control her emotions at this moment and almost roared out this sentence.
Fu Yueli was shocked. Was he wrong? He had thought about doing this for her own good and not burdening her, but he hadn't considered her feelings.
"There are some things I haven't told you, but I'll tell you today. In my previous life, I was actually three months pregnant, but Tang Nuan sneaked into Xinzhou City as a spy for Wu Tan to steal information. I ran into her that night and she hurt me. Not only did I lose my pregnancy, but my body was also damaged and I could never get pregnant again. Later, Qin Zheng took a concubine, and that concubine was also Tang Nuan. You can imagine what happened next." Shi Mingyue's emotions collapsed when she recalled everything that happened in her previous life.
Only then did Fu Yueli understand why she cared so much about Tang Nuan and why she was determined not to elope with Qin Zheng in this life.
"I beg you, don't say this to me again. It doesn't matter if we don't have children. Although I like children, I love you more." She lived this life for him and her relatives. If he left her, there was no need for her to live anymore.
Fu Yueli understood what she said, and he hugged her tightly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I will never hurt your heart again, we will never separate, we will always be together."
Shi Mingyue hugged him back, but her heart felt like it was bleeding. Fate was playing a trick on her. It didn't matter if they didn't have children. As long as he loved her, as long as they were together forever, that was enough.
The Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th soon arrived, and a family banquet was held in the palace. Although Shi Mingyue didn't want to see the emperor, she still went with Fu Yueli.
At last year's Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, the three princes were away busy preparing for the provincial examinations, and with the Empress Dowager's death, the Emperor was in no mood for a family banquet. This time, however, he was in high spirits and began to speak, while everyone watched the performance and ate.
The atmosphere was quite relaxed, and Shi Mingyue felt much more relaxed because the emperor didn't pay much attention to her.
After the singing and dancing performance on the stage is over, everyone can leave and go outside the palace to enjoy the moon.
The moon outside was full and Shi Mingyue and Fu Yueli held hands and admired the moon together.
But then Concubine Cen suddenly said, "Mingyue, the brocade I gave you last time looked really good on you. Why haven't I seen you wear it since?"
Shi Mingyue looked at her and said apologetically, "I accidentally damaged the clothes, so I failed the Empress's kindness."
Concubine Cen understood and said, "That's a shame, but it doesn't matter. I remember the pink dress you wore when you went to the palace to enjoy the flowers. It suited you very well."
Shi Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled, saying nothing more.
At this moment, the emperor glanced at her faintly, and Shi Mingyue turned her head away.
Concubine Cen did it on purpose, and it was obvious that she had the emperor's instruction, otherwise she would not have asked her about the Yunjin for no reason, not to mention that the Yunjin was clearly a gift from the emperor.
At this time, many people present had rather subtle expressions, especially the concubines and the two princesses, who all knew about Yunjin's affairs.
Fu Yueli noticed this strange atmosphere, but he didn't understand why. Why did Concubine Cen send Mingyue Yunjin? He didn't even know about this.
After getting on the carriage back to the palace, Fu Yuelifang asked, "What's the matter with Concubine Cen giving you Yunjin?"
"It's nothing. She said she couldn't wear colors that were too pink, so she gave me the cloth. I couldn't refuse, so I accepted it. Later, it was torn, so I threw it away." Shi Mingyue explained.
"I see." Fu Yueli was still suspicious of the strange reactions of others, but seeing that Mingyue seemed unwilling to tell him, he felt that it was necessary to investigate the matter.
