There are herds of cattle and sheep strolling leisurely on the grassland. Even though the grass is dry, the scene is still pleasant to watch.
While Ying Xixi was happily strolling around the prairie, Suonan went to see the imperial physician in the palace.
"Doctor Wang, please take my pulse."
Suonan sat down at the table with his arms extended to Doctor Wang.
Doctor Wang: “?”
"Your Highness, are you feeling unwell?"
"Please take my pulse."
Suonan had a blank expression and did not answer.
Doctor Wang's heart skipped a beat as he took his pulse.
After a moment, Doctor Wang asked in surprise.
"Your Highness, have you taken any medicine outside?
Your pulse is much stronger than before you left Beijing, as if you've taken some precious medicinal tonic."
All Suonan could think of was the medicine he had to drink for a few days after being stabbed in the heart by Gu Xuanyun.
He then told this matter.
Upon hearing this, Doctor Wang carefully examined the wound and took the pulse again, and was even more surprised.
“Your Highness, your wound is not shallow, but you are recovering quickly and well.
If it were someone else, they might not recover as well as you.
And your health is indeed much better than before you left Beijing.
Maybe the medicine you took has a tonic effect.
The medicines used by Yuehua Kingdom and Heyi are inherently different."
"Well, besides that? Is there anything wrong with my body?"
Suonan stared at Doctor Wang and asked him.
Doctor Wang lowered his eyes, and his guilty look was obvious.
"Your Highness, you are in good health and there is nothing wrong with you."
"Doctor Wang, do you know what the punishment is for deceiving me?"
Suonan's gentle but oppressive words made Doctor Wang unable to hold on any longer, and he fell to his knees with a thud.
"Your Highness, please forgive me! I didn't mean to deceive you! It was Your Majesty who told me to keep it a secret from you first!"
Doctor Wang sold out the emperor completely.
Suonan frowned and said, "Tell me in detail what happened."
"Yes, Your Highness, after I discovered that you were having difficulty with your offspring, I immediately reported this to His Majesty.
After Your Majesty learned about this, you asked me to conceal it from you and let me first research a medicine that can cure this disease.
Your Highness, His Majesty meant well and did not want you to be affected by this matter. Please forgive me."
Suonan's expression remained unchanged. "Have you developed a drug?"
Doctor Wang's forehead was covered with sweat. "Your Highness, please forgive me, but not yet."
Suonan pursed his lips and tapped the table with his fingertips. The oppressive feeling emanating from his body made Doctor Wang feel cold on his back.
"Is it that there is no such thing, or that it cannot be researched? Or is it that you cannot cure me?"
Doctor Wang was on the verge of tears, "Your Highness, please forgive me! I will do my best!"
Suonan had been mentally prepared for this matter for a long time, so he didn't feel anything when listening to Doctor Wang's words.
"Then do your best."
After saying this, Suonan went to find his father.
Emperor Heyi was reviewing memorials and was a little surprised to see Suonan coming.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"Father, I understand the difficulties of raising a son."
Suonan spoke directly about the matter straight away.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Heyi's smiling expression faded a little, his face became complicated, and his eyes were filled with worry.
"You know, it seems that this matter cannot be hidden from you after all.
Sonam, what do you think?
Also, does Princess Mingzhu of Yuehua know about this matter?"
"Father, Xixi knows, and she said she won't despise me.
My son doesn’t have any ideas for now. He’s still young and maybe one day he’ll have his own children.”
Suonan has a positive and optimistic attitude towards this matter.
But Emperor Heyi did not think so. If difficulty in having children was so easy to cure, he would not have let the imperial physician hide it from Suonan for five whole years.
He was not worried about Princess Mingzhu.
The princess who came to marry a foreign prince didn't have much courage in a foreign country, and she wouldn't dare to leave Suonan.
"Okay, you're still young after all, so cooperate with the doctor and try taking the medicine."
"yes."
Suonan returned to the palace where Ying Xixi was, but she was not there.
When he learned that his sister Tuya had taken her to the grassland, he stayed and waited for her to come back.
Ying Xixi came back happily, and seeing Suonan there, she trotted over happily.
"Sonam, have you been here long?"
Suonan pulled Ying Xixi to sit next to him and chuckled, "Just for a moment, your little face is so red, are you so happy?"
"Happy! Tuya took me to the grassland for horseback riding!
But I’m riding a pony. Tuya said I don’t have riding clothes yet and I’m not very experienced in riding, so riding a pony is safer…”
Ying Xixi happily shared with Suonan what she had experienced outside today.
Sonam looked at her with a smile and listened to her sharing.
I even took the time to pour her a cup of scented tea to moisten her throat.
By the time Ying Xixi finished speaking, the scented tea was also finished.
Sonam wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief.
"I'll teach you how to ride a horse someday. When spring comes, we can gallop across the grasslands."
"Okay, okay!"
Ying Xixi agreed and was looking forward to it.
"Xixi, you..."
Suonan wanted to talk to her again about his difficulties in having children, but when the words came to his lips, it suddenly became difficult to bring up the matter.
He could accept that he didn't have children, but he never asked Xixi if she could accept that she didn't have children because of him.
Now that he thought about it, he had taken it for granted that because Xixi said she didn't mind his difficulty in having children, she would be able to accept her childlessness.
