Seeing that he had made up his mind, the Queen Mother stopped trying to persuade him.
Didn't she have a glimmer of hope in her heart?
Xu Lingyi knew from a long time ago that the most terrifying thing for a person is to lose hope. Once you lose hope, you will no longer have the courage to live, just like she died by hitting her head against the wall in her previous life.
Therefore, after more than three months of rest, the Empress Dowager's health improved a lot.
She still hoped that Xu Lingyi could get pregnant again.
It has been almost four months since her last miscarriage, and because it was a false pregnancy, it actually did not cause any harm to her body.
But the emperor didn't know that he waited for her to recuperate for four months before touching her again, and after that he stayed in her palace every day.
Xu Lingyi took the opportunity to take the pill in the brocade bag.
She hesitated for a long time, but finally chose the twin pill.
She had lost too many children in her past life.
For her, having two children at once is enough.

Xu Lingyi summoned her eldest sister into the palace for the second time. This time she specifically asked her eldest sister to bring her two children.
"They've both grown taller and fatter lately, for some reason. When I was pregnant with them, I could only lie in bed recuperating, always worried about bleeding and miscarriage. After they were finally born, they were still not in good health, and I was always worried that they wouldn't grow up. Now I can finally put my mind at ease."
Xu Lingyi smiled and nodded. She came here specifically to see the effects of the fitness pills.
The eldest sister’s two children are thin, mainly because they are sick.
After taking the fitness pills, the effect is not instantaneous, but gradual.
The two children are now in much better condition than when I first met them.
Xu Lingyi touched their hair, which was no longer dry and yellow, and asked, "Lady Sister, have you thought about what I asked you last time?"
Xu Lingyi knew that after she entered the palace, her elder sister's life in the Qingyuan Earl's Mansion became better.
Both her mother-in-law and Uncle Qingyuan praised her, without any trace of her previous arrogance and disdain.
"I've made up my mind."
She hesitated for a long time.
In the past, Qingyuan Bo's husband always resented that his two daughters squeezed out his son.
He only wanted sons, so even though he only had two daughters, he was not good to them.
During this period, his earth-shaking changes and extremely humble flattery made her hesitate.
"I don't have any feelings for him. I know how his family treated me in the past. I'm just worried about my daughters. He's pretending to be nice to them now."
The two children had already been taken away by the maids.
"For the first time, they felt their father's love. They were flattered and overjoyed. I couldn't bear to make them feel bad. Sometimes I wondered if the children didn't know he was pretending. Besides, as long as you were in the palace, he would pretend, which was good for the two children."
Xu Lingyi listened silently. She knew her elder sister's struggle and entanglement.
She held her hand: "Whatever sister wants to do, I will support you."
Xu Lingyi even thought that even if her elder sister wanted to confer the title of Earl of Qingyuan, she would agree.
She was the only relative he cared about, so he wanted everything to go his way for her.
The eldest sister shook her head. "I finally figured it out. Sooner or later, both children will have to face reality. They're young now, so they can be fooled. But when they grow up, they'll be disappointed one day, and that might be even harder for them."
"Just like you and I once had extravagant hopes for our father."
Speaking of Father Xu, Xu Lingyi also thought of her childhood. He wasn't always so mean to her and her sisters from the beginning. He was sometimes kind and gentle, but it was all fake.
Xu's father and stepmother were now exiled to the frontier. The journey was long and dangerous. Xu Lingyi heard that they all died of illness on the way.
The moment she heard the news, Xu Lingyi didn't feel anything at all. She only felt happy and relieved.
"I want him and the old lady to die." The eldest sister said.
The six years she spent in the Qingyuan Earl's Mansion were far more sad than others knew.
She hated Uncle Qingyuan who forced her to marry him and played with her, and she also hated her mother-in-law who always made things difficult for her and treated her children harshly.
"Even if the two children find out and blame me in the future, I still want to do it."
Xu Lingyi smiled. The eldest sister is still the eldest sister. If she didn’t have a sharp edge, how could she have protected her in the Xu family in the past?
"How could the two children blame you? They are both your children, so they naturally understand your difficulties."
"This is a pill given to me by a miracle doctor. He said it can help me give birth to a boy. Sister, are you willing to give birth to a child and inherit the family business of the Qingyuan Earl's Mansion in the future?"
The eldest sister shook her head. "I don't want it. You keep this miraculous medicine for yourself. I won't bear him any children. I just want him to have no descendants. With you here, there's nothing to worry about for Earl Qingyuan's inheritance. No one dares to take it away. As for the two children, they won't need their brother's support in the future. With you as their aunt, what else is there to be afraid of?"
Xu Lingyi smiled and put away the fertility pills. "That's fine, but it's not just me who will protect my eldest sister's two children. The child in my belly will also protect their cousin."
The eldest sister stood there in a daze, and then her eyes burst into surprise.
"Yier, are you pregnant again? Has the imperial physician come to see you?" The eldest sister bent down and touched Xu Lingyi's belly.
Xu Lingyi smiled gently, "I haven't changed my clothes for two months. It's almost the same, but I haven't asked the imperial doctors to check it."
"Are you sure? Call the doctors to take a look."
Xu Lingyi nodded: "Eldest sister, I am sure."
"Do His Majesty and the Queen Mother know about this?" the eldest sister asked hurriedly.
The emperor did not ask the imperial physician to check every few days whether Xu Lingyi was pregnant. He was afraid that Xu Lingyi would feel pressured, and he did not want to embarrass her.
As for her menstruation, it had never been regular before, and the maids didn't think much of it.
"The eldest sister was the first to know."
She was her only relative, so Xu Lingyi wanted her eldest sister to know first.
"Yier, I'm so happy for you." The eldest sister choked up as she spoke, "When you have a child in the future, you'll have someone to rely on in this palace."
The palace is not like an ordinary home. After Xu Lingyi had a miscarriage last time, she had been worried day and night. Now her worries finally came to her.
Xu Lingyi smiled and reached out to wipe her tears: "Don't cry, sister, we will all be better and better in the future."
"Um."
When Xu Lingyi called for the imperial physician, the emperor immediately learned about it.
He thought Xu Lingyi had a health problem and rushed over.
"Yier, what's wrong with you?" The emperor said nervously, "What do the doctors say?"
Xu Lingyi smiled, tears welling up in her eyes, her rims reddening slightly. "The imperial physician said I'm pregnant again."
The emperor's body suddenly stiffened, his pupils shrank, and he immediately took a step back.
He only felt his heartbeat become more intense, blood rushing up, and his whole body felt dizzy.
Did God really treat him so well? He gave him a child again, and gave him hope.
"Really?"
"Your Majesty, it's true." Xu Lingyi spoke again with a smile.
The emperor suddenly picked up Xu Lingyi and leaned over to kiss her madly.
