Seeing Jian Yang's blank expression, the Empress Dowager felt a sense of disappointment and frustration.
"When I was your age, the emperor had already run away! Empress, you'd better hurry up, or if Consort Yu conceives the imperial heir before you, how can the Chen family keep quiet?"
Jian Yang was speechless.
But she dared not tell the Empress Dowager that the Emperor was impotent...
This is a matter of great importance concerning the royal family's reputation!
If she were to say it, she'd probably lose her head.
She could only nod reluctantly and reply, "Your subject understands."
The Empress Dowager acted swiftly and decisively.
She said that Jian Yang would help the emperor improve his health, and that very night, she arranged for Qin, the personal attendant, to return to the palace with her.
It's called assistance, but it's actually supervision!
When the emperor learned of Qin Mama's purpose, his handsome face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Seeing the emperor's stern face, Jian Yang was also terrified.
Just kidding, the emperor's anger can cause rivers of blood to flow.
The emperor was bound by filial piety and dared not disobey the empress dowager, but once his wife died, he could replace her with a new one at any time.
Jian Yang was sweating profusely. She just wanted to resign, not risk her life.
But with the Empress Dowager standing by and watching, Qin Mama had no choice but to bite the bullet and say to the Emperor:
"Your Majesty, shall I take your pulse first?"
The emperor reluctantly extended one hand.
Jian Yang secretly pursed her lips and placed her slender white fingers on it.
Time passed little by little.
Jian Yangxiu's brows gradually furrowed.
That's really strange!
The emperor's pulse was steady and strong, showing no signs of any hidden ailment.
But why can't we plant seeds?
Could it be that the land is not fertile enough?
The next moment, Jian Yang immediately rejected the idea.
Although there are not three thousand beauties in the harem, there are still several dozen. Surely not all of them can't get pregnant?
So the problem must still lie with this damned emperor!
If the seeds are bad, even the best soil won't grow good crops!
"Empress, am I ill?" the emperor spat out the words through gritted teeth.
Jian Yang gave a professional fake smile.
"Hehe, it's not a big problem. Let me prescribe a prescription for Your Majesty. After a period of gentle nourishment, it will be fine."
Although she couldn't diagnose the emperor's illness, that didn't stop her from prescribing him a bitter medicine!
She wanted to get revenge on this capitalist for his ruthless exploitation of her!
Thinking of this, Jian Yang happily ordered Lian Xia to bring the writing materials and quickly wrote down the prescription.
It contains a large amount of Coptis chinensis.
Hehe, she's determined to make this damn emperor suffer to death!
After writing it down, Jian Yang dried the prescription and handed it to Lian Xia, instructing her to go to the Imperial Pharmacy immediately to get the medicine and prepare it.
The emperor's illness cannot be delayed for even a second!
Seeing that things were mostly settled, Qin Mama felt she could return to report to the Empress Dowager and took her leave to go back to Fuxi Palace.
Half an hour later, Jian Yang took the prepared tonic from Lian Xia and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, it's time to drink your medicine!"
That appearance was exactly like Pan Jinlian feeding Wu Dalang medicine.
Just thinking about how the emperor's handsome face would scrunch up from the bitterness of this medicine...
Jian Yang rubbed her hands together, a little excited.
Unexpectedly, the dog emperor took the medicine but didn't drink it, instead scrutinizing Jian Yang with an all-knowing gaze.
"Empress, how are the matters I arranged for you progressing?"
Jian Yang never expected him to bring this up suddenly. Startled, she chuckled and immediately made an excuse to slip away.
Just kidding, her specialty is slacking off, and now you're asking her to do a summary...
Wouldn't this kill her?
The man watched her flee in panic, and a slight smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
The next day.
After Jian Yang and the other concubines went to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager as usual, the Empress Dowager kept her alone in Fuxi Palace and dismissed the other palace servants.
Jian Yang was frightened by this scene.
She didn't understand what the Empress Dowager was up to now.
"Empress, tell me the results of your pulse diagnosis of the Emperor yesterday!" The Empress Dowager's expression was solemn.
But Jian Yang could still detect a hint of embarrassment in her feigned composure.
It turns out they came to inquire about the emperor's affairs.
No wonder they needed to clear the area.
Jian Yang lowered her eyes and answered honestly, "Judging from the pulse, His Majesty is in good health and there is nothing seriously wrong."
"Since the emperor is unharmed, why are all of you so infertile!"
Jian Yang wiped her sweat and secretly complained to herself that the Empress Dowager had stumped her with her question.
She didn't know about others, but she slept with the emperor several times, and he never even took his pants off.
There's no way she could get pregnant!
"According to the records of the Imperial Household Department, the Emperor stayed in your palace for several nights last month?" the Empress Dowager asked calmly.
Jian Yang nodded obediently: "Yes, Mother."
"A palace servant came to report that the emperor is resting in your palace, merely taking a nap. Is that true?"
Jian Yang was horrified.
Holy crap, the Empress Dowager actually sent someone to eavesdrop!
This is absolutely insane!
They'll stop at nothing to have a grandson!
Seeing Jian Yang remain silent, the Empress Dowager was very displeased. "I have also reviewed the medical records from the Imperial Hospital. Your health is perfectly fine, and you should be most likely to conceive. But you, Empress, are really disappointing. You have such a great opportunity right in front of you, yet you don't seize it!"
Jian Yang was speechless for a moment, and secretly rolled her eyes. This was a great opportunity for someone else to take, but she didn't want it!
"As the empress, you naturally have the responsibility to ensure the continuation of the royal lineage. There are countless eyes in the harem watching your position!" The Empress Dowager threatened and intimidated, almost pointing at Jian Yang's forehead and telling her to hurry up and have a baby with the emperor.
