"It's just that I can't have children. It's not a big deal."
He noticed that Xu Lingyi had her head down and looked particularly depressed, so he spoke to comfort her.
The emperor forced a smile and said, "Not everyone in this world can have children of their own. Even if many people do, they will be burdened by their children for the rest of their lives and live for them."
"If a disaster or accident happens and a child you've carefully raised dies, it's a heartbreaking pain for the parents..."
"Thinking this way, even if I don't have children in this life, it's not that hard to accept."
This is how the emperor comforted himself. He had wanted a child for more than ten years.
The older he got, the more he wanted children.
In the past ten years or so, he has been obsessed with wanting a child.
He prayed to the gods and Buddhas countless times, burned incense and divined, and tried every possible way to find a miracle doctor...
I just want a child who belongs to me, has my own blood, and is of the same lineage as me.
But... no matter how hard he tried, he still didn't have any offspring.
.
That was the closest he had ever been to his child, and it was also the most heartbreaking moment in all these years.
"Everything is determined by fate. If it is destined to happen, it will happen. If it is not destined to happen, don't force it. Madam, you should advise yourself in this way. Even if you don't have children, you can still enjoy a peaceful life."
The emperor smiled bitterly, remembering that all the civil and military officials in the court had advised and forced him to adopt a child.
For an emperor, the biggest failure is to have no successor. Even if he has accomplished many great achievements, but has no offspring... all this is in vain.
The country will eventually be left to outsiders.
In the past, he was always reluctant to be adopted, always feeling that he still had hope.
But he was almost thirty-six years old. For an ordinary family, he would have grandchildren in a year or two, but he...
Thinking of this, the emperor felt so sad that he didn't want to think about it anymore.
Now I have gradually come to accept it, and my desire to have a child has gradually become extinguished.
This time, the turmoil was caused by the instability of offspring.
When he returns to Beijing, he will agree to the adoption.
Xu Lingyi raised her eyes, as if she had never thought that he would say such words to comfort her.
"Mr. Li is the most open-minded person I have ever met in my life regarding his offspring."
The emperor just raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but did not speak.
She didn't know that his open-mindedness was forced.
If he didn't comfort himself like this... he would have no hope.
Doctor Wu waved his hand to interrupt their conversation: "You little girl lied to me and made me see you again. I almost doubted my own medical skills."
Xu Lingyi was stunned. "You...! What did you say?"
"What I mean is that there's nothing wrong with your body and you can have a baby. Moreover, your physique makes it easier for you to get pregnant than other women."
"It might take others a hundred or so times, but you might be able to get pregnant in just a few... so you understand what I'm saying."
Xu Lingyi clenched her palms and nodded blankly, but still asked unconsciously: "But...but, doctor, I couldn't get pregnant for three years before I got married..."
Doctor Wu waved his hand to interrupt her, "This means it's not you who's infertile, but someone else. As for who this person is, you know it well without me having to tell you. Although I haven't taken your ex-husband's pulse, it's most likely that he's infertile."
"Your ex-husband must have been a complete loser. Otherwise, with your physical condition, you should have been pregnant long ago. Why would it have taken three years?"
"Really...really?"
Xu Lingyi's voice tightened as she fought hard to hold back her tears. "Previously, doctors all said I was infertile, and that's why... my husband is childless."
Doctor Wu was a little angry: "Of course, in terms of medical skills, if I admit I am second to none, no one dares to claim to be first. There is absolutely no problem with you. It's either that those doctors are not well-trained, or that your ex-husband is in a high position and powerful, so those people dare not say..."
The old doctor shook his head. "There's nothing wrong with you."
Hearing this, Xu Lingyi seemed unable to hold back her sobs any longer and sobbed.
She cried silently, and her thin back began to twitch, which made the old doctor feel a little sorry.
He spoke to comfort her, "Actually, little girl, you should be thankful. With your physique and looks, if you married a normal man, you would definitely suffer the pain of childbirth."
Seeing that her crying seemed to have subsided, the old doctor continued, "Perhaps you would have died in the process of giving birth so many times. How could you have survived until today?"
The old doctor deliberately exaggerated the situation, but in fact he could see that Xu Lingyi was in good health.
When he first took his pulse, he suspected that his diagnosis was wrong.
As a result, the little girl looked thin, but in fact she was as strong as a bull.
But the old doctor did not say this.
The comfort from the doctor was indeed very useful. Even Aning no longer felt sorry that Xu Lingyi could not give birth.
She quickly hugged Xu Lingyi and said, "Madam, thank goodness your previous husband was a loser. Don't be sad. It seems that God is helping you and letting you live."
Xu Lingyi nodded, and just as she wiped away her tears, she suddenly remembered what happened that night.
That night, he was like a wild beast, ferocious, unbridled and without restraint.
Thinking of this, her face turned pale instantly. If it was according to what the doctor said, perhaps she had already...
She was about to call the old doctor to help her check if she was pregnant, but then she remembered that this happened a few days ago... Even if it was true... it wouldn't be diagnosed now.
When the emperor met Xu Lingyi's panicked eyes, he knew what she was thinking at a glance.
He smiled bitterly and confessed his pain, "Madam, don't worry. I was poisoned and cannot have children, so I have no children to this day."
After saying this, the old doctor looked back and forth between Xu Lingyi and the emperor, and finally smiled knowingly.
