While Bai Yuzhi was thinking about it, the ancestor had already told him the final result.
"The Great Witch said that this child died on the road."
This means that the eldest prince is born with a disability and no medicine can cure him.
"No matter how powerful the Khan may be now, he was still just a young man at the time. How could he withstand such a blow? He rushed into the delivery room like a madman, picked up the child and examined it carefully. The midwives who were delivering the baby had already noticed something was wrong and fell to their knees."
The old ancestor still felt a lingering fear when recalling what happened that day: "You know the outcome. No matter how angry and sad the Khan was, the matter of the eldest prince was a foregone conclusion."
Bai Yuzhi nodded. Of course she knew about it. Not only did she know about this past event, she was also certain that the Great Witch was indeed the "gotten one" and "the wise man from outside the world" of this world.
"And then?"
Bai Yuzhi continued to ask.
The old ancestor also calmed down and sighed: "I think you can see that there is a long age gap between the second prince and the eldest prince."
Indeed, the eldest prince was now a young man, having reached the age of twenty, a few months older than Sagron, but the second prince was still just a teenager, probably only twelve or thirteen years old.
Bai Yuzhi nodded. "Could this also be the result of the Khan's... um, human intervention?"
It's the contraceptive soup.
"Indeed, he had a grudge against the eldest prince and refused to allow anyone else to have children. It wasn't until eight years later that he felt relieved."
However, the Eternal Heaven, believed by the Jin people, was so cruel to Nahan Oren that the eight years of waiting finally resulted in another disabled child.
Not only eight years, but how many years were there between the second prince and the third prince, and between the third prince and the fourth prince?
But all I got in return was disappointment again and again.
Even Bai Yuzhi felt a little sympathy for Nahan Oren. No wonder he transferred all his emotions to Sageron. This blow was too cruel for a father who was so looking forward to the birth of his child.
The old ancestor noticed Bai Yuzhi's silence and her expression softened. She thought Bai Yuzhi was sad for Nahan Oren.
"This is what I want to tell you. I called you here because I heard from Yan Jin that the Khan only let you drink the contraceptive soup once last night?"
The contraceptive soup was prepared by a witch doctor. Because they were afraid of hurting the body of the user, the effect was very mild. Judging from the frequency of Nahan Oren's movements last night, one bowl was indeed not enough.
This gave the old ancestor hope, which was why she called Bai Yuzhi.
Perhaps white jade will be the last possibility that Nahan Oren is willing to try again.
Bai Yuzhi also realized the deep meaning hidden in the old ancestor's words. His nerves, which had been tense since entering the tent, finally relaxed, and even a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.
So that's how it is. It seems that her worries just now were completely unnecessary. This old ancestor looks difficult to deal with, but she has something she cares about, and now this matter is almost entirely in her white jade hands. Then the old ancestor is naturally inferior to her, and they have the same position on most things.
So Bai Yuzhi explained the truth, saying that she had indeed only drunk the contraceptive soup once in the middle of the pregnancy, and she didn't have any pregnancy after that.
Upon hearing this, the old ancestor's eyes brightened, and her attitude towards Bai Yuzhi improved a lot. Specifically, she no longer pretended to be majestic, but talked to Bai Yuzhi like an ordinary elder.
"Old Nine, I've already told you everything. What are your plans now? Don't you Central Plains women all care about having children? You probably want a child too, right?"
There was nothing to deny, Bai Yuzhi of course wanted it, so she nodded.
"Indeed, my ancestor is very discerning. Of course I want to bear a child for the Khan. I'm not afraid of being laughed at by my ancestor. Last night, I almost cried in front of the Khan."
Bai Yuzhi wanted to get closer to him, and the ancestor also had the same idea, so the two hit it off immediately.
"I know you're a smart kid. It seems you have some genuine feelings for the Khan. I've also heard about the Lianxin wine," the old ancestor said, telling Bai Yuzhi about his plan. "I was originally planning to use my old bones to dissuade him from this idea, but now I think it's not a safe idea."
Bai Yuzhi thought for a moment and actually had an idea in mind.
Apart from his identity as the Great Khan, Nahan Oren is actually a man whose personality is relatively easy to guess.
He was born brave and at the same time, he was tolerant towards women because of his ancestors. Most men like him were unwilling to show weakness and would rather swallow their anger than show others the scars deep in their hearts.
But the more a scar is covered up, the more vulnerable it becomes; the more he doesn't want to mention something, the more he cares about it.
The birth of the four princes made him extremely sad. Even this Khan who dared to fight on the battlefield did not dare to face such pain again.
This is why Nahan Oren would rather let his daughter drink contraceptive soup than have another child of his own. It is not because he does not like children, but because he cares too much about them, so he dare not try again.
This kind of man seems difficult to persuade, but if you do the opposite, there may be unexpected results.
Bai Yuzhi looked mysterious and smiled at the old ancestor: "I think that attacking the heart is the best."
"Attack the heart?"
"That's right, Grandfather, why don't you give me a month? If I still can't make the Khan open up to me within this time, it won't be too late to use your method again."
