Chapter 94: Rage 1: Discovering Contraceptive Pills
When Xie Junyao left the hall, Wen Wanyu was still retching, her face as pale as a sheet of paper. He frowned and walked over to support her:
"You're fine this morning?"
Wen Wanyu leaned in Bai Su's arms and pulled the corners of his mouth weakly: "It's okay. Probably because I'm too tired."
A thought flashed through Xie Junyao's mind.
Could it be... that she's pregnant? Perhaps it's too early for the doctor to detect, which is a common occurrence.
Xie Junyao's heartbeat quickened, his brows relaxed, revealing a bit of unconcealable joy: "I'll carry you back."
At this moment, the eldest princess ran over from the room. Seeing Wen Wanyu so weak, she worriedly grabbed the corner of her clothes and asked, "What happened to Sister Ling?"
Wen Wanyu patted her head and said, "It's probably just a stomach ailment. It's nothing serious. Don't worry, Yu'er."
The eldest princess hugged Wen Wanyu's legs and rubbed them affectionately, "I haven't seen Sister Ling for a long time. Yu'er misses Sister Ling so much..."
Wen Wanyu leaned over, supporting her knees with her hands: "Yes, I miss Yu'er so much."
Xie Junyao watched their interaction with a smile.
She couldn't help but think that if she had a child, that child would be more spoiled than Yu'er and would stick to her mother all day long.
He no longer has to worry about educating his children.
Xie Junyao put his arm around Wen Wanyu's waist and said, "Let's go back first. You can't stand standing in the cold wind."
Wen Wanyu tugged at his dragon robe and said, "Let's go back to Changlixuan."
Then, in a voice that only the two of them could hear, as if she was acting coquettishly or begging, she said, "Please, please."
Xie Junyao was not happy, but finally nodded.
The eldest princess looked at Xie Junyao, "Father, can Yu'er go to Changlixuan with me?"
The Empress Dowager had always disagreed with her going to Changlixuan to find Sister Ling, but this time her father agreed, so the Empress Dowager wouldn't say anything!
Xie Junyao touched her head and said, "Okay."
Wen Wanyu was already feeling drowsy on the dragon chariot, and before he even returned to Chang Lixuan, he had already fallen asleep.
Xie Junyao gently placed her on the bed and tucked her back.
The imperial physician had no time to salute, "Go and take a closer look, to see... to see if you are pregnant." Xie Junyao had already told him not to salute and spoke in a lowered voice.
"Yes." The imperial physician bowed.
But I was wondering in my heart, how come the imperial physician last night couldn't even tell whether I was pregnant or not?
Beside the soft couch, the eldest princess was eating cakes very obediently.
Xie Junyao walked over, his slightly raised lips making him look more energetic, and a hint of leisurely joy flashed across his eyes. He always had a feeling in his heart -
Wanwan must be pregnant.
The eldest princess ate her cake and asked, "Why is father so happy?"
Xie Junyao smiled and said, "You should have a younger brother or sister!"
The eldest princess was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise, "So, is Sister Ling pregnant with a younger brother or sister?"
"right."
The eldest princess was laughing when she suddenly thought of something and asked doubtfully, "But Sister Ling said before that she wouldn't have any brothers or sisters for the time being." [The Forgotten Treasure Guides Chapter 66!]
"Hmm?" Xie Junyao's smile faded a little. "Did she say that herself?"
The eldest princess didn't know that her words would cause Xie Junyao and Wen Wanyu to become estranged. "Yeah. Sister Ling told me that before!"
After he finished speaking, the imperial physician came to him and reported, "Your Majesty, Master Ling is not pregnant. She caught a cold. The cold wind has caused the chill to enter her body. She should just eat a light diet for the next few days."
Xie Junyao subconsciously curled his fingers, "Then... what about her foundation? If she's treated, how long will it take for her to get pregnant?"
The imperial physician hesitated for a moment, then spoke the truth. "When I took Concubine Ling's pulse, I felt it was a little strange. I don't know why. Your Majesty, can you ask the imperial physician to stay and take a look?"
Xie Junyao: "Li Dexian."
Li Dexian understood immediately and sent someone to invite the imperial physician Liu.
During the period when the imperial physician was asked to stay, Xie Junyao was very silent. Perhaps the quieter the time, the more people would think of things that seemed unrelated on the surface but were actually related to each other.
He caught sight of two porcelain vases quietly placed on the dressing table. This was something he had never seen before.
As soon as he picked up one of the plum blossom porcelain vases, he heard a maidservant subconsciously shout, "Your Majesty!"
Bai Su's eyes widened. She had actually forgotten to put it away properly.
Xie Junyao was even more certain that they were hiding something. There was definitely something wrong with this porcelain bottle. He poured it out and smelled it, "What is this?"
Bai Su knelt down on the ground, bowed his head and kowtowed to the ground, not daring to say a word.
Doctor Liu hurried over. Xie Junyao glanced at him and said, "Go and take her pulse. I want to know why her pulse is so strange."
"yes."
Doctor Liu took Wen Wanyu's pulse, concentrating intently without blinking.
After a long time, his face changed and he looked as if he couldn't believe it.
Xie Junyao's knuckles had turned white from gripping the corner of the table. "Let's take a look at what this is."
He threw over two small porcelain bottles.
Doctor Liu took it, poured it into his palm, smelled it, and was shocked when he found out what the pill was.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Ling's strange pulse condition...is probably caused by this pill."
"The ones in the plum blossom porcelain vase are contraceptive pills, and the ones in the orchid porcelain vase are fertility pills."
The bedroom suddenly became quiet, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
The moment he learned the truth, Xie Junyao was unexpectedly calm, but there was only coldness and self-mockery in his eyes.
Xie Junyao closed his eyes tightly, trying to dispel the pain in his heart.
However, it was of no use.
"You go down first. Remember, I don't want anyone else to know what happened today."
"I understand." Imperial Physician Liu wiped the sweat from his forehead. A concubine actually used contraception?! This pill was quite impressive. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't have guessed it was a contraceptive pill.
"Your Majesty." Bai Su wanted to open his mouth to explain to his master, but it aroused Xie Junyao's wrath.
Xie Junyao threw the teacup and the storybook on the table to the ground, his eyes red, "Get lost."
Teacup fragments flew everywhere.
Li Dexian pulled Bai Su, who was kneeling on the ground, up and walked out.
When Wen Wanyu woke up, the sun was shining outside the window and the air was filled with the faint scent of flowers.
Xie Junyao sat on the couch, his arms supporting his head. His expression could not be seen. Wen Wanyu had not yet opened her mouth to speak when she heard his low and hoarse voice:
"woke up?"
What's going on? I always feel like there's something about to happen in his voice.
"Um."
Xie Junyao lowered his arm and walked towards her. Wen Wanyu saw his expression clearly, and the gloomy look made her shudder.
He sat down beside the bed and stroked her cheek.
Wen Wanyu dodged.
But he clamped her face: "Is there anything you want to tell me?"
