The two doctors knelt down hurriedly, and Doctor Zhou said sadly: "Your Majesty, your pulse shows that you...you have lost your reproductive ability."
When the imperial physician said this, everyone in the room was shocked!
Hei Jin's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "Doctor Zhou, what did you say? Your Majesty has no heir? How is this possible?"
Hei Mu also frowned and said, "What's going on? How could there be no heir? Your Majesty's health has been fine until now."
Doctor Zhu asked, "Your Majesty, have you taken any medicine? I have checked your pulse almost every day, and I have never seen your pulse like this."
Everyone stared at Nangong Yan closely. He was the emperor, and he couldn't have no heir. Without an heir, what would the vast Southern Kingdom do in the future?
Nangong Yan thought about the medicine that the woman gave him last night. He didn't know if it had any other effects. Could it be that she gave him a drug that would make him exterminate his family?
Nangong Yan's mood became complicated again. This woman always did things unexpectedly. He helped her, but she repaid his kindness with hatred and gave him medicine?
Nangong Yan didn't say anything, and after a while he asked, "Can it be cured?"
Doctor Zhou shook his head, "Your Majesty, it looks like the medication is causing this, but I can't tell what medication it is, and there's no way to fix it. I can only find the person who gave you the medication and see if he can fix it."
Nangong Yan nodded, "Okay, I understand. There is no need to keep the matter of no heir secret, but we can talk about it after we return to Nanyang City."
Upon hearing this, the imperial physician immediately objected: "Your Majesty, if this news gets out, rumors will spread everywhere, and I'm afraid something bad will happen!"
"Yes! Your Majesty, you are still trying to appoint a queen. If this news gets out, what will happen to the queen?"
Nangong Yan was only concerned with state affairs and never thought about love affairs. The ministers had urged him to appoint a queen for several years, but he never responded. In the past, his legs were disabled, and now he could not give birth. After all, he was a disabled person and would not harm others.
He said calmly, "These are not important. If there is no heir in the future, we can adopt one. There are many brothers from the royal family, so it will be suitable."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes were filled with heartache.
Doctor Zhou gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I couldn't cure your leg before, but now I will do my best to find a solution to this problem, even if I die."
Nangong Yan waved his hand and let them go, then asked Hei Jin to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone. He drew the woman in his memory, but the portrait was with a veil, revealing only a pair of eyes.
"Go find this woman and bring her to me."
Heijin took the portrait and took a look at it, a little surprised, but did not ask any more questions. He took the portrait and went to give instructions.
Nangong Yan was looking for someone, but Qingli, who was being looked for, was sleeping soundly in the inn.
After a tiring night, she was very sleepy, so she slept until dark. After waking up, she asked the waiter to bring her dinner. She wanted to continue sleeping after eating, but she heard someone chattering in the yard behind the window, and it was very noisy.
This time they stayed in a small inn, which was far away from the inn they stayed in last night. She was afraid that the man would bear a grudge and come looking for her.
Qingli got up and opened the window. In front of the window was a courtyard. In the middle of the courtyard seemed to be a well. There were two little ghosts sitting by the well. They seemed to be eating something and chattering.
Qingli shouted at the two little ghosts, "You two little ghosts, be quiet. You are disturbing my rest."
The two little ghosts were stunned for a moment, then turned around to look at Qingli. If they were ordinary people, they would definitely be scared to death after seeing the appearance of the two little ghosts.
The two little ghosts' faces were extremely pale, the kind of pale that was sickly, but their eye sockets and eyes were pitch black. In the darkness, one could not even see their eyeballs. Some messy hair hung down, scattered on their white paper faces. Anyone who saw them in the dark would be scared, except Qingli.
In the darkness, three pairs of eyes stared at each other for a long time. Seeing Qingli frowning and staring at them, the two little ghosts looked at each other, and then asked in confusion, "Can you see us?"
The kid's voice was childish and his tone was curious.
Qingli nodded, "Yes, I can see and hear it, so please keep your voice down, you're disturbing me."
After saying that, Qingli closed the window and went back to bed.
The two little ghosts in front looked at each other, then threw the food in the box and floated it to Qingli's window.
"Dabai, why can she see us?"
The slightly smaller kid asked curiously.
Dabai was taller than him. He shook his head and said, "I don't know!"
The two little ghosts floated in front of the window, back and forth, staring at the window.
It was the beginning of autumn, and the moon was very round and bright at night. Qingli looked toward the window and could clearly see two small shadows floating to and fro.
She felt helpless and stood up again to open the window.
"What are you two doing?"
Qingli suddenly opened the window, scaring the two little ghosts so much that they almost fell to the ground.
Dabai quickly steadied himself and said, "We are just curious about why you can see us. Many people come here every day, but no one can ever see us. Why can you?"
Qingli looked at the two little ghosts and explained, "Because I am a mystic, I specialize in collecting ghosts, so I can see you."
Xiaobai was startled, "Ah? Are you a mystic?"
"Oh no, Dabai, she's not going to take us away! Let's run."
The little ghost pulled Dabai and tried to run, but couldn't move him. Dabai pretended to be calm and said, "If she wanted to take us back, we would have done it a long time ago. Don't be afraid, Xiaobai."
The two little ghosts had never seen a master of mysticism, but they had heard from other ghosts that they were all very afraid of the master of mysticism. They all said that he was the person that all ghosts feared the most.
Qingli smiled at the older kid, "You're quite clever."
Since she couldn't sleep now, Qingli sat on the windowsill and asked the two little ghosts, "What are your names? Why don't you go and reincarnate?"
The two little ghosts looked confused, and Dabai said, "We don't know how to reincarnate."
Xiao Bai said: "What's so good about reincarnation? I think the way we are now is also good! We can secretly eat delicious food every night, but we can't go out and play. It's boring."
Qingli looked at the two and asked, "Do you know what reincarnation is?"
The two little ghosts nodded, then shook their heads, "We heard from other ghosts that being a ghost is not good, and that we need to reincarnate as humans to have a good life. But when we asked them how Xiaobai and I could reincarnate, they said they didn't know."
Qingli asked, "Don't you remember how you died? Don't you remember your family?"
Xiao Bai nodded repeatedly, "Sister, how did you know? Those ghosts said that they don't know where they came from, so they naturally don't know where they are going, so we can't reincarnate."
Qingli nodded, "Well, they are right, little ghost, do you want me to help you? I am in a good mood today, and I can help you for free, but the premise is that you have not committed murder before, then I can help you."
Helping ghosts who have not committed the sin of killing to be liberated is also a way to accumulate virtue. In their line of work, accumulating virtue is also very important. The more virtue and goodness they accumulate, the more beneficial it is to them.
The two little ghosts were hesitant and confused, not knowing whether to reincarnate.
Seeing the two people like this, Qingli said: "Well, I will help you two restore your memories, you two come in!"
Qingli went into the house, and the two little ghosts hesitated for a moment and followed her in.
Qingli took out a mirror-like object from her Qiankun bag, but it was not like a mirror, but was engraved with various unknown runes.
Xiaobai nervously grabbed Dabai's sleeve and gave him an anxious look.
Dabai asked nervously, "Why do you want to help us?"
Dabai regretted following in at this moment. It seemed that they were too impulsive. If this person was a bad guy, it would be bad for them to follow in.
Qingli sensed the tension between the two and said with a smile, "Isn't it too late for you two to regret now?"
