"Speak."
Physician Liu wiped the sweat from his forehead, his voice trembling, "Your Majesty, the princess has damaged her uterus due to excessive sexual activity, and will be unable to have children in this lifetime."
"What did you say?!" Empress Wu couldn't believe her ears.
She had just summoned Yuening to the palace two days ago and told her to behave herself, and now this has happened.
"Who is it?!"
"The three guards in the mansion are currently locked in the woodshed."
Three!
At that moment, Empress Wu felt a throbbing pain in her temples!
Yuening is about to marry into the Prime Minister's mansion. It's not a big problem that she's not a virgin. She had already instructed the dowry maid to help Yuening deal with it, and they would be able to keep it a secret.
But I can't have children now, how can I hide this?
Empress Dowager Wu understands Yuening better than anyone else. Given Yuening's domineering nature, she would definitely not allow Lu Junyuan to take a concubine. But now that she can no longer have children, isn't this going to make Lu Junyuan's line end?
If the Prime Minister's office finds out about this, even if Prime Minister Lu is completely loyal to her, he will not be able to tolerate it, and Yue Ning's reputation will be ruined.
Empress Dowager Wu took a deep breath, glanced at the unconscious Yu Ning, and asked, "When will the princess wake up?"
Physician Liu hurriedly replied, "The princess is too weak. After taking the medicine and resting for one night, she will definitely wake up tomorrow."
"Granny Hui, let's go back to the palace. Physician Liu, you can stay at the princess's residence to take care of her."
"yes!"
On the way back to the palace, Empress Dowager Wu casually instructed, "Granny Hui, deal with everyone today."
"Yes, Your Majesty. What about Physician Liu?"
Other people were just servants, so they could be dealt with easily, but Physician Liu was, after all, an official.
"We'll deal with this after the princess recovers." She wanted to protect Yue Ning and wouldn't allow anyone who knew the truth to live.
"yes!"
"Investigate what exactly happened in the manor today!"
Empress Dowager Wu was no fool. Yuening may have fun, but she always knew her limits and would never joke about her own body, much less cause such a commotion in the mansion on the eve of her wedding.
Empress Dowager Wu never expected that someone in Xiaoyue would dare to touch Yue Ning.

Prime Minister Lu returned home exceptionally late today. As soon as he entered the manor, Steward Qiu greeted him, "Master, you're back. The eldest young master says he has something urgent to discuss with you."
"Yes, I also need to speak with him. Butler Qiu, please have the eldest young master come to the study."
"Yes, sir."
Upon hearing that his father had returned, Lu Junyuan immediately rushed to the study.
Upon seeing his son enter, Lu Hong glanced at him without saying a word, then reached under the desk. The bookshelf behind him opened, revealing a hidden room, which Lu Hong entered first.
Seeing this, Lu Junyuan knew that his father had something important to tell him, so he quickly followed him inside.
After the door to the secret room closed, Lu Junyuan, unable to wait any longer, spoke first, "Father, Dapu should be the person we're looking for. Only Madam Jiang from Great Chu can save him now. What do you think..."
Lu Junyuan quickly recounted the day's events to Lu Hong, "Father, what do you think?"
Lu Hong remained silent for a while before slowly speaking, "Yuan'er, you should know that this decision is a gamble on the entire Lu family."
“Father, Yuan’er understands.”
"You still want to believe that Mrs. Jiang?"
Lu Junyuan thought for a moment, and finally nodded firmly, "My son is willing to believe."
"Since that's the case, then go ahead and do it. We chose this path from the very beginning, risking the lives of the entire Lu clan!"
"Thank you, Father!"
With his father's support, Lu Junyuan felt more confident.
"Yuan'er, Princess Yuening is in trouble, do you know?"
Lu Junyuan was stunned. Could his father be referring to the affair between Yuening and someone at the princess's residence?
