After hearing what Ning Yuxi said, the two dared not hide it anymore. The master needed rest the most right now, and he couldn't not get enough sleep.
Luoying immediately said, "Master, the imperial physician said that you... you might have trouble having children in the future."
Ning Yuxi blinked and suddenly smiled, "Is that all?"
"Tsk, I'm asleep. I'm so sleepy." Ning Yuxi looked indifferent.
If she wasn't afraid of her contraceptive use being discovered, she wouldn't want to get pregnant. It's so difficult to give birth to a child. She's the one who suffers. Besides, she already has four children, so it doesn't matter whether she can have another child or not.
The most important thing is that the emperor's current health is not suitable for having children. Well, it's not that he is not suitable, but he may not be able to have any. In this way, it is good for both she and the emperor to be infertile.
It was already noon the next day when Ning Yuxi woke up. When she opened her eyes, she saw a row of little radish heads standing in front of the bed.
"Wow, mother is awake! Mother is awake!" Little Shu Xuan looked excited.
Cheng Yao also said excitedly: "Mother, you finally woke up. You have been sleeping for many days. Cheng Yao missed you."
Ning Yuxi hugged the two children in her arms and comforted them, "Be good, it's mother's fault. I made you worry."
"No, mother is the best." The two little guys said in unison.
Ning Yuxi patiently comforted the two little ones, and then looked at Cheng Zhao who was standing behind the two children. At this moment, he was crying silently, and his eyes were full of helplessness and fear when he looked at her.
Ning Yuxi knew that Cheng Zhao had always been precocious. Cheng Yao and Shu Yun were still young and didn't know that she had been to the gates of hell. The palace people didn't dare to tell them about her danger.
But Cheng Zhao was sensible and knew how dangerous she was at that time. The helplessness and fear on her face made her feel distressed.
Ning Yuxi asked the wet nurse to take the two children to have lunch first. After the people left, Cheng Zhao could no longer hold back and suddenly threw himself into her arms, hugged her tightly, and burst into tears.
Ning Yuxi's eyes also turned red as she hugged Cheng Zhao back, patting his back and soothing him: "Cheng Zhao, be good. Mother is fine."
Cheng Zhao cried bitterly in her arms, venting his fear and helplessness of the past few days. Ning Yuxi patiently coaxed him over and over again.
After about a quarter of an hour, Cheng Zhao's crying gradually stopped. He nestled in Ning Yuxi's arms and said sullenly, "Mother, please don't have any more children in the future, okay?"
Ning Yuxi smiled and said, "Okay, I won't have any more children." Anyway, both she and the emperor were infertile.
"Mother, I wish you a long life."
"Okay, mother, I will definitely live a long life and strive to live longer than a turtle."
"Why should I live longer than a turtle? Do turtles live very long?"
"A thousand-year-old turtle lives for ten thousand years. Do you think it will grow longer?"
"Then my mother will live for ten thousand years, just like a turtle!"
Ning Yuxi: “…” She gave an example.
After joking for a while, Cheng Zhao's emotions gradually calmed down. He felt a little embarrassed. As a man, he actually hugged his mother and cried.
In order to avoid embarrassing himself, Cheng Zhao changed the subject.
Ning Yuxi also knew that children care most about their reputation, so she followed his lead and talked about other things. Seeing that Cheng Zhao was not wearing a thin summer shirt in the middle of summer, she hurriedly raised her hand to feel Cheng Zhao's body to see if he was sweating.
In ancient times, people also wore three layers of clothing inside and three layers of clothing outside in the summer, but they were made of lighter and thinner materials. The sky-blue outer shirt on Cheng Zhao was obviously made of spring and autumn fabrics, not as light and thin as those in the summer.
Feeling Cheng Zhao's body and finding that he was not sweating, Ning Yuxi asked in surprise: "Cheng Zhao, aren't you hot?"
There were many things to do this summer, and Ning Yuxi's baby was inconvenient to move, so the emperor simply did not go to Qinghe Garden to escape the summer heat.
Cheng Zhao shook his head: "I am not hot. The weather has not been very hot recently. It is still a little cool in the morning and evening. Mother, please don't be greedy for coolness."
Ning Yuxi responded with a smile, but frowned slightly. It had been sunny every day recently, and she estimated the temperature to be around 35 or 36 degrees Celsius. It was hot even in short sleeves, let alone the ancient long gown.
Even the sick emperor was seen sweating from the heat when he came to see her at noon several times, not to mention Cheng Zhao. How could a child not be hot when he has a lot of heat in his body?
To be on the safe side, Ning Yuxi took Cheng Zhao's hand and took his pulse. After a moment, Ning Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief. There was nothing wrong with his pulse.
"Cheng Zhao, haven't you felt hot recently? Do you remember when it started?"
Cheng Zhao frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "It's probably because after recovering from my last cold, I feel a little cold every morning and evening when I wear summer clothes."
Ning Yuxi's heart suddenly tightened. "What about the Second Prince? Will he feel cold too?"
The last time Cheng Zhao caught a cold, it was the Second Prince who caught it. If Cheng Zhao has any problems now, then the Second Prince should have them too.
"Yes, my second brother feels a little cold just like me." Cheng Zhao replied.
As expected, Ning Yuxi hurriedly asked, "Apart from this body, is there anything else that's bothering you? Is there anything wrong?"
Cheng Zhao looked at his mother's nervous expression and knew that something was wrong. After thinking about it carefully, he shook his head and said, "No, there's nothing else wrong except being a little cold."
Ning Yuxi was still worried, so she called a few imperial doctors over under the pretext of taking her pulse.
Several imperial doctors unanimously said that there was nothing wrong with Cheng Zhao's health. She then asked someone to check whether the second prince had the same symptoms. After getting a definite answer, Ning Yuxi felt relieved.
The Queen would harm her Cheng Zhao, but she would not harm the Second Prince. After all, she only has the Second Prince as her son now, and it is impossible for her to sacrifice the Second Prince in order to harm Cheng Zhao.
She guessed that Cheng Zhao's fear of cold was a sequelae of the last cold. The imperial physician also said it was possible, but she didn't remember that a cold would have a sequelae of fear of cold.
Before she could figure out what was going on, the emperor came. Originally, the emperor should have come after she woke up yesterday, but she fell asleep again at that time and the emperor didn't see her. Now that she woke up again, the emperor naturally came.
Ning Yuxi was still immersed in her own thoughts, and the emperor did not disturb anyone when he came in. It was not until a hand waved in front of her that Ning Yuxi came back to her senses.
She was startled, and when she saw that it was the national treasure that the emperor had about to eat, she swallowed it down: "Ah, Your Majesty, how could you come so quietly? You scared me."
"Ahem." Gu Qilan couldn't resist the itchiness in his throat and coughed lightly before saying, "It's obviously you who got too involved, and now you blame me for scaring you."
Seeing this, Ning Yuxi's face was filled with worry: "Is the emperor's illness still not healed?"
Gu Qilan frowned: "It's the same as always, neither bad nor good. Don't worry about me. It's you who scared me a lot."
He was talking about her difficult labor. Why are you so scared of me having a difficult labor? Really...
Thinking of this, Ning Yuxi remembered that she had not yet thanked the emperor for her appointment as a noble concubine, and was about to stand up. Gu Qilan raised his hand to stop her: "Alright, you are weak now, don't bother."
Okay, this was exactly what Ning Yuxi was waiting for. She stood up halfway and immediately lay back down.
