Chapter 86: Unclean Disease, the Only Legitimate Son
Tao Wanyin looked embarrassed. She didn't expect it to be such a private and difficult question. She didn't know whether to answer it or not.
Ji Qingwu was not surprised by her reaction.
She assured with clear eyes: "Princess, rest assured. I am a doctor. Everything I do is for your condition. Please tell me the truth. Our conversation today will never be known to any third person."
Tao Wanyin said softly, "I did bleed, about half a year ago, but what disease did I have that time?"
Ji Qingwu gave his diagnosis: "It's leucorrhea."
Leucorrhea?
Tao Wanyin had heard that this was not a serious disease and only unclean women would be infected.
Her face turned even paler as she asked, "Is this the same dirty disease that prostitutes in brothels and brothels get?"
Ji Qingwu immediately shook his head and explained: "This disease is not syphilis, it is also common in married women, but..."
"Just what?" Tao Wanyin asked nervously.
If she really had a heart disease, she might as well jump into the river and die.
She is the daughter of a cabinet minister. She has been well-read and well-behaved since childhood. She has never done anything out of the ordinary. She always maintains self-discipline and a clear mind.
Why did this terrible disease happen to her?
Ji Qingwu looked into her eyes and said slowly: "It shouldn't be your problem. Most women who suffer from this disease are suffering from unclean sex. It is very likely that..."
Tao Wanyin's back, which was sitting upright, suddenly collapsed.
Actually, it is......
There is no need to complete this statement.
There was nothing that Tao Wanyin didn't understand. She was chaste and abided by the rules. The problem must be with the romantic Prince Yong.
Concubines were brought into the rooms one by one. She thought this was a great humiliation to her as the principal wife.
But the real humiliation is not even one-tenth of the one that I felt after learning about this disease.
A disease that he contracted from some unknown woman was passed into her body, causing her to suffer from the pain, and at one point she thought it was her own weak body.
The prince also said that she was narrow-minded and intolerant, which was why she was always sick. She suffered a lot because of this.
Seeing Princess Yong was heartbroken, holding her chest and gasping for breath.
Although Ji Qingwu couldn't bear it, he still wanted to make things clear.
"Princess, this disease is most likely caused by the person next to you. However, the reason why you were unable to get pregnant after your wedding was also because of this disease. The mother's body was damaged, which affected the growth of the fetus."
"The princess had abnormal bleeding in her lower body before. It was not due to menstrual irregularities, but——"
Tao Wanyin's eyes were shaken so much that her lips trembled as well.
Ji Qingwu uttered two words calmly.
"Miscarriage."
Tao Wanyin lowered her head, and soon, water drops fell into the teacup, creating ripples.
When she raised her head again, her eyes were red and there were no more tears.
She grabbed Ji Qingwu's sleeve as if asking for help, just like a drowning person grabbing a piece of driftwood.
"Qingwu, you just said that this disease can be cured. Can you help me with how to cure it?"
Ji Qingwu stared into her eyes and said softly, "Princess, I will help you. I came here to help you."
She held the other person's hand that was clutching her sleeve and passed the warmth of his palm to her.
"It's not just your illness, but also your situation in the palace, and Prince Yong's debt to you."
Feeling that Princess Yong's hands were slowly getting warmer, Ji Qingwu's eyes were filled with determination.
"I will help you with all these."
Princess Yong's illness is difficult for ordinary doctors to treat and the disease is prone to recurring, but for Ji Qingwu, it is not a difficult task.
In the Frost Bell Pavilion, Ji Qingwu quickly wrote the prescription and handed it to Tao Wanyin.
She put down her pen and warned, "This prescription is based on the princess's constitution, but you must be careful to prepare it according to the dosage written, not even a centimeter can be wrong, because if the ingredients are a little different, the efficacy will be greatly reduced."
At this moment, Tao Wanyin regarded Ji Qingwu as a noble man sent by God to save her.
She nodded quickly: "Qingwu, I will go to Qingchun Hall myself to watch the doctor dispense the medicine and weigh it."
Ji Qingwu continued, "If you take it properly, you will recover in seven days."
There was a light of surprise in Tao Wanyin's eyes, and her gratitude was beyond words.
"There is one more thing..." Ji Qingwu seemed a little hesitant.
Tao Wanyin now had hope. She said seriously, "Just tell me. I will cooperate."
Ji Qingwu looked at her and asked, "Princess, do you plan to divorce Prince Yong?"
Divorce... She had never thought about it...
Tao Wanyin said bitterly: "When you marry into the royal family, there is no such thing as divorce, only death."
Her father's old-fashioned character would only make her endure everything. Besides, the Tao family had long been tied to Prince Yong in the court. Even if she died, the Tao family would immediately marry someone else to take her place.
Ji Qingwu actually knew in his heart that she would not divorce, he was just testing her.
Her eyes were bright and she said, "If that's the case, if the princess wants to gain a foothold in the palace, she must give birth to a legitimate son as soon as possible."
Tao Wanyin's eyes flashed. She now had complicated emotions towards Prince Yong.
She had been taught since she was young that Prince Yong was her husband and she should respect and love him. She had always done so, but now she thought, what was there in him that was worthy of her sacrifice?
But what can be done? A princess without children is destined to have increasingly difficult days ahead. She might as well just treat it as finding a support for the rest of her life.
Tao Wanyin replied: "It is my wish to give birth to a legitimate son as soon as possible."
Ji Qingwu poured out the cold tea, picked up the teapot on the hot stove again, and said calmly: "But what I want is for the princess to give birth to the only legitimate son in the palace."
"The only one?" Tao Wanyin asked in surprise.
Ji Qingwu looked at her steadily, his bright eyes slightly cold.
"If Prince Yong loses his fertility from now on, the child you give birth to will of course be the only legitimate son of Prince Yong's mansion."
Tao Wanyin's expression froze.
If Prince Yong loses his fertility, he will no longer be able to have affairs with other women, which can relieve her hatred. More importantly, no one will be able to shake her position in the palace, and the concubines who cannot give birth to children will also be under her control to prevent the emergence of more "Concubines Du".
No matter how you listen to it, it seems to be a solution that will benefit her in every way, but it is simply a fantasy to achieve it.
Tao Wanyin sighed and said sadly: "It's easy to say, but how can I do it?"
Ji Qingwu raised his eyebrows and took out something he had prepared long ago from his lapel.
"Princess, I just happened to find an interesting prescription that can make a man's virility flourish. It can definitely give birth to a child during a woman's fertility period. However, after using this prescription, a man will no longer be able to display his virility."
A thin piece of paper was held between the white fingers.
"After a week, when the princess's condition improves, this prescription can be used."
Tao Wanyin's eyes flickered a few times, then gradually became firm. She took the prescription and held it tightly in her hand.
"Qingwu is waiting for good news from the princess. I hope the princess will announce the birth of a son soon."
Tao Wanyin stood up, her graceful temperament had changed substantially, she lowered her eyes and looked at her and said, "This princess only took one prescription from Miss Ji today."
Ji Qingwu knelt on the mat and lowered her head with a faint smile.
"Farewell, Princess."
