The question that Jiu agreed to stumped everyone.

That’s right, giving birth to children for the emperor is the duty of the concubines.

But what if the child is born deformed? What if it even affects their family members?

Half of the concubines present had already backed out.

They entered the palace only for the honor and benefit of their family, and there was not much deep affection between them and the emperor.

If they were to take huge risks in giving birth to a child and still be sentenced to death by the emperor, they might as well never serve the emperor again.

Look further up.

The queen on the main seat frowned, the imperial concubine lowered her head and played with her newly acquired jade pendant. And the concubine listened attentively to Wu Qing's voice, worried about the safety of Zhao Changzai.

The three highest ranking ladies on the field remained silent.

The concubines looked at each other, each with their own thoughts in mind.

——Looking at the situation, it seems that the Queen and others do not support the concubines continuing to sleep with him?

Yes, the Empress and Consort Shu already have a prince, so they don't need to worry about having children. And Consort Gui wants to monopolize the Emperor, so she hopes that others won't sleep with her.

Someone tried to persuade her, "Your Majesty, Concubine Ji has never been wrong in her heart.

——If all babies born in the palace are deformed in the future, I am afraid it will be bad for our reputation and the reputation of the emperor!"

Another concubine cautiously echoed, "Yes, Madam, we are naturally eager to serve the emperor and enjoy his favor. But right now, the emperor's health seems to be a little unwell. Why not let the emperor recuperate for a year or two, and then make plans after his health recovers?"

The Queen's expression showed visible hesitation.

She was not unaware of the concubines' concerns.

But if no one slept with the emperor, it would be too absurd.

When the atmosphere was stagnant, Yuepin suddenly said, "In my opinion, the palace is already lively enough. The eldest prince, the second prince and the princess are all doing well. There is no need to add a new baby."

Her bold speech attracted everyone's attention.

——But just watching.

Among the more than twenty concubines, not one spoke out to refute her.

"I wonder if you sisters have met the two princes recently?"

Yuepin stood up and bowed to the concubines sitting around her: "I had the opportunity to see the princes the other day. Compared with before, they are really two different people."

The concubines were interested in her words.

Yuepin asked: "Sisters, can you imagine these two sitting at the same table, serving food to each other?"

The concubines all shook their heads.

Even the Empress and Consort Shu, her biological mothers, shook their heads.

Concubine Yue smiled and said, "I saw it with my own eyes. The First Prince picked up the meat slices and put them into the Second Prince's bowl, and the Second Prince gave the First Prince half a bowl of mixed vegetables in return."

"While picking up the food, they kept caring for each other."

Yuepin recalled, "The eldest prince said, 'Second brother is weak and must nourish his body. If the meat on the table does not suit your taste, there are still many meat jerky in my room. You can choose whatever you like. Don't let yourself go hungry.'"

"The second prince responded, 'My brother is strong and healthy, so don't forget to eat some seasonal vegetables.' Then he picked up a piece of meat for the eldest prince and said that if my brother didn't eat it, he wouldn't eat meat either."

"And then?" Concubine Sun asked.

"The princes were in a stalemate for a while, and then the eldest prince said that if the second brother didn't eat, he would tell Concubine Ji about the second brother's waste of food. The second prince said it was the same."

"Finally, the two of them cleared all the food on the table. This is the first time I have seen Your Highnesses being so respectful to each other."

The concubines looked at each other in surprise.

The eldest prince and the second prince have not been on good terms for many years.

On ordinary days, let alone passing food to each other as a sign of goodwill, it is extremely rare even to dine under the same roof.

Now, under the guidance of Noble Lady Ji, they can actually get along so harmoniously?

The Queen and Concubine Shu exchanged a knowing look, but did not expose Concubine Yue's words. ——How could those two good-for-nothings care about each other?

The eldest prince does not eat vegetarian food, and the second prince stays away from meat.

The two of them were clearly making things difficult for each other.

But Yuepin was right about one thing... they were indeed much more intimate than before, the Queen and Shufei thought.

Yuepin's eyes curved, "I have said so much just to show that the princes have grown a lot. I think under the guidance of Ji Guiren, it won't be long before they can get the emperor's approval."

"Empress, instead of pinning your hopes on your unborn child, you should focus all your energy on the eldest and second princes."

The queen remained silent.

Concubine Sun asked back, "Princess Yue, don't you want a child?"

"I really don't mean that."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yuepin folded her hands before her forehead, knelt down and said, "My Queen, I am guilty. I have been secretly taking contraceptive soup all these years without interruption. I have never had any extravagant desire for offspring."

Her voice was sonorous and powerful, and her expression was righteous and awe-inspiring.

But everyone doesn’t know where she gets the confidence from.

Concubine Yue entered the palace earlier than Concubine Ji. Didn't she have already started taking contraceptive soup before everyone knew that the emperor was in poor health?

The queen frowned and asked, "Why do you keep taking contraceptive soup? Is there anything you can't tell me?"

This is already considered deceiving the king.

Yuepin said: "When I entered the palace, there were already two talented and unparalleled princes in the palace. I don't think I can give birth to such a smart child."

"Besides, the princes have the careful teaching of the Empress and Consort Shu, and they will surely become great men in the future. As for me, I know that I am not very talented and well-educated, and my qualifications are mediocre. Even if I am lucky enough to give birth to a prince, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to teach him to become a useful person."

"Therefore, I only hope to serve the Emperor and the Empress well and do my part for the harem, and I will be satisfied."

The concubines wanted to roll their eyes.

Look at the flattery that Concubine Yue gives to the princes, making them all look like the chosen ones of heaven.

In the past, Yuepin would have been severely punished. However, the situation has changed now, and the queen is in a dilemma, not knowing how to punish her.

The queen sighed, "You... Oh, never mind... Let's see what the emperor says."

Whether to turn over the card or not, whether to have a child or not, these were not things she could decide. In her heart, the queen did not want the concubines to continue sleeping with her.

For some reason, a thought suddenly popped up in her mind: Compared with the emperor, the queen's power is still too small.

Concubine Yue got up from the ground, as if she had expected this.

She smiled and bowed, "Then I would like to thank the Queen first."

The topic of sleeping with the emperor came to an end.

Wu Qing continued to broadcast live with her inner voice: [Now put the uterus back into the belly...]

[The suturing begins. One layer, two layers... The suturing time is twice as long as the cutting time.]

[Sister Fei is sweating all over her forehead... Should I wipe it off for her? But I'm afraid to disturb her.]

[The last stitch is almost done... It's over!!!]

As Wu Qing's voice faded away, Zhu Hanfei also stopped what she was doing.

Zhu Hanfei put down her tools and was blinded by the blood on her hands.

A feeling of powerlessness came over her, and she seemed to be unable to do anything. Fortunately, Wu Qing supported her in time and she did not fall down.

Zhu Hanfei said weakly, "I'm fine. I just need to sit for a while. Please help me keep an eye on Concubine Zhao."

Upon hearing this, Wu Qing helped her sit down and then went to check Zhao Changzai's pulse.

The pulse that was about to stop gradually regained its vitality under Wu Qing's fingertips.

A familiar white shadow flashed across the water in the copper basin. The energy riot was so violent that even No. 2321, who was in the God's perspective, was startled.

Zhu Hanfei sat down and rested for a while.

Lady Ji's voice was still far from coming, and her heart felt as if it had fallen into the abyss.

Zhao Changzai...can't hold on after all?

Zhu Hanfei hammered his arm regretfully and sighed, "My dear, come back, there's nothing to see. You've been standing for a long time, take a break."

Beside the bed, Wu Qing's voice sounded a little hesitant.

She said, "Well... there's really nothing to see."

The pulse he felt with his fingertips was strong and powerful. Wu Qing stared blankly at the scar on Zhao Chang's belly that was healing rapidly.

[Is this the heroine’s halo! ? ? Miracle doctor! ! ! ]
