Chapter 259 What to do if the emperor can’t have children?
Song Mingzhu was delighted to hear this, as the Marquis's wife still treated Huanhuan as her daughter.
Then Huanhuan will definitely be able to find a good husband in the future.
"Madam Hou, you misunderstood. I'm not here to ask you to take Huanhuan away."
"Then what exactly do you want to do?" Su Beiqing became more and more angry as she looked at Song Mingzhu. "If you still want to take advantage of my sister Yu, I don't think your Song family will be able to survive in the capital!"
Song Mingzhu's heart trembled. "Madam, you are so kind to me that you can come out to see me. I have committed serious sins, and now I am lucky to be spared. Sister Yu did not pursue the matter. I will not and dare not have any intention of harming others again, and I will not make the same mistake again. This time I came to see Madam because of Huanhuan's marriage to Prince Xiao."
“Bang!”
Su Beiqing was so angry that she slapped the table and said, "I advise you to give up this idea. This engagement originally belonged to Sister Yu."
"I know, I won't have any more delusions. Huanhuan grew up with Prince Xiao. Over the years, I've seen clearly that Huanhuan truly loves Prince Xiao. His heart and eyes are filled with his. I'm worried that Huanhuan might become confused and become his concubine."
Su Beiqing was shocked. "Impossible! Huanhuan would never degenerate into a mistress, let alone a concubine. It's impossible for Master Xiao to have a concubine or a mistress."
Song Mingzhu said, "Madam is right. I'm afraid Huanhuan won't be able to let go of Prince Xiao and will become his mistress behind our backs. Her actions would undoubtedly hurt Sister Yu. I've already let Sister Yu down, and I can't let Huanhuan do anything to hurt her again. I hope the Marquis and his wife can persuade Huanhuan to be more open-minded. I also hope Madam can take the trouble to introduce other young men to Huanhuan so that we can arrange a marriage sooner and save her from doing anything stupid."
Su Beiqing felt a lump in her chest. Huanhuan's biological mother asked her, the adoptive mother, to take more effort to find a good family for Huanhuan.
Why do I hate to hear this?
Do you really think she is a sucker?
However, Su Beiqing opened her mouth and said, "I will persuade Huanhuan myself. It's not your turn to worry about her marriage. Huanhuan will not be anyone's concubine, let alone a mistress. This is the only time I can see you. Don't show up in front of me again! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Yes, madam. I dare not."
Su Beiqing stood up and left. When she reached the door, she turned around and stared at Song Mingzhu. "What you said just now had better be sincere. You won't do anything to hurt Sister Yu again. Otherwise..."
"Madam Hou." Song Mingzhu looked at Su Beiqing and said from the bottom of her heart, "Every word I say is sincere and not empty. I really realize that I was wrong and will never do anything to hurt Sister Yu again."
Su Beiqing looked at Song Mingzhu's expression for a long time before turning around and leaving the private room.
Furong and Chunhua looked at each other, and Furong went downstairs first.
Su Beiqing got on the carriage, and Aunt Qin said, "The Second Miss was sick yesterday. It's very likely that she was upset when she heard that the Eldest Miss went to Ruibao Tower with Master Xiao."
Su Beiqing pressed her eyebrows together, "Now that the engagement has been taken back, it's impossible to give it to Huanhuan. With her current status, she can't marry a member of the royal family."
Qin Gu said, "Then it's impossible for other noblemen in the capital to marry the Second Miss. Only those whose family backgrounds are inferior to the Marquis' Mansion and who want to borrow the power of the Marquis' Mansion and have ulterior motives are willing to do so."
Su Beiqing said helplessly: "Now I can only choose a good one from these families."
In the room upstairs.
Qiuyue asked, "Madam, Madam Hou didn't explicitly say that she would try her best to find a good family for the eldest daughter?"
Song Mingzhu nodded. "The Marquis's wife won't find a poor family for Huanhuan. As her biological mother, all I can do for Huanhuan is to prepare more dowry. Oh, and I have to prepare some for Sister Yu as well." Then she went back to Mingyue Tower.
In the luxurious box, Wen Can's eyes never left Gu Wanqing's face.
He does look a bit like the elder brother.
Although he is old, he is still a handsome old man. No wonder the eldest brother is so handsome. The eldest brother must be his son.
Gu Wanqing was talking to Jiang Youya, and from time to time he turned his head to look at Wen Can, who had a smooth smile on his face.
This guy looks cunning. You won't get much profit from doing business with him. You might even lose money.
"Wan Qing, I don't quite understand the business that Ming En and Wen Can are talking about. If you think this deal can't be done, then don't do it. If it doesn't work out this time, we can cooperate next time. Don't force it."
"Mr. Jiang, the young are formidable. With Wen Can's business acumen, in a few years, Wen Can will become the new rich man rising in Beijing."
"Ha..." Jiang Youya said with a smile, "Since we can cooperate in business, I won't bother you to discuss the details of the cooperation and will leave first."
"Mr. Jiang, please stay. It's rare for you to come out. Let's go upstairs for lunch later. Such a big deal can't be concluded today."
Gu Wanqing turned his head again and looked at Song Mingen and Wen Can.
"I need to go back and discuss this with my sons and brothers. In three days, I'll arrange for someone to go to the Jiang Mansion and invite you two to the Zhongyi Building in the Gu Mansion for a detailed discussion. Is that okay?"
Gu Wanqing looked at the two of them with a cunning look, and naturally decided that business had to be discussed on his Gu family's territory.
Even if you are cunning little foxes, you dare not stretch out your little wolf claws in his Gu family's territory.
Song Mingen and Wen Can looked at each other tacitly.
Song Mingen said, "Then my two brothers will wait for good news at home. I hope our cooperation can be successful."
This business encompasses Gu's two main industries: land transportation and shipping.
The Gu family will only take it seriously if it involves the main property of the Gu family.
He will definitely be able to meet all the people in charge of the Gu family at once.
Imperial Palace
When Song Yu arrived at the Weiyang Palace, he was stunned for a moment by the beauty of the concubines in the hall, some plump and some thin.
As expected, there are no ugly women in the emperor's harem. Each of them has a variety of postures and styles.
Except for two concubines who looked to be in their twenties, each holding a little princess of five or six years old, the rest were beautiful middle-aged concubines.
Concubine Qing remembered the emperor's instructions and knew that Song Yu had a secret recipe for giving birth to a son, so she directly asked Song Yu to check the concubines' pulses first.
If the emperor had another prince, she wouldn't have to worry about Yu'er's safety all the time.
In this way, Yu'er doesn't have to bear too much, and it won't be a problem for her to live for decades if she takes good care of herself.
Song Yu first checked the pulses of the two young beauties. They looked good and could bear children.
Some of the remaining middle-aged beauties may have lost their menstrual period, making it difficult for them to have children.
As soon as Song Yu finished examining the youngest concubine, Concubine Qin, Concubine Qing couldn't wait to ask, "Miss Song, how is Concubine Qin?"
The others were also eagerly waiting, their minds as clear as a mirror. They said they were checking their pulses, but in fact, the emperor just wanted to see if they could still have children.
"Replying to the Imperial Concubine, the Imperial Concubine Qin suffered a dystocia when she gave birth to the little princess and has never recovered. She should stop taking the medicine she is currently drinking. It will not have any effect and may even upset her stomach and she will never be able to recover."
Concubine Qin turned pale with fright. Song Yu actually knew that she was taking medicine?
Concubine Qing looked at her and asked, "You were taking medicine without telling me. Why didn't you report it?"
"Your Highness, I heard from my mother that this prescription could cure the disease. I thought I would try it first and then report to you. I know I was wrong, and I beg your Highness to punish me."
Concubine Qing looked at her angrily and said, "Go before the Emperor and accept your punishment!"
Concubine Qin breathed a sigh of relief, "It's the Imperial Concubine."
"Miss Song, is there any way to treat her?"
Song Yu quickly wrote down a prescription and handed it to Concubine Qing. "Madam Qin, please follow this prescription for three courses of treatment. You should be in good health in half a year at most."
Concubine Qin was delighted. Could she have another child?
Seeing her joy, Concubine Qing wanted to give her a beating. "Miss Song, do you mean that Concubine Qin will have a chance to conceive in six months?"
Song Yu nodded.
The other concubines looked at Concubine Qin and frowned instinctively.
Look how happy she is. It's just that they are old now and don't have the energy to fight like they did when they were young.
Concubine Cui was unwilling to be left behind and quickly extended her hand to Song Yu, "Miss Song, I was also injured in childbirth that year. Do you think you can recover?"
Song Yu quickly took her pulse and said after a moment, "Your Majesty, your injuries are more serious than those of Concubine Qin. Using my exclusive secret recipe, you will need at most a year to recover."
What? I need to raise it for another six months?
Wouldn't that mean the Qin woman would give birth to a son half a year earlier than her?
What if she gives birth to another princess?
Concubine Cui was happy when she thought of this. "Then please ask Miss Song to prescribe a prescription. I will drink it today."
Song Yu smiled and nodded, "Okay, Your Majesty, I'll prescribe the prescription right away."
We still don’t know how the emperor is doing?
If the emperor couldn't have children, I'm afraid their happiness would be in vain.
In the room behind the screen, the little prince Xiao Hongyu breathed a sigh of relief.
That’s great, now he has a younger brother, he can rest in peace.
I hope Miss Song’s secret recipe for giving birth to a son is effective, and that Concubine Qin and Concubine Cui can give him a younger brother.
After Wang Gui received the diagnosis, he turned around and left the hall and went to the back garden of Weiyang Palace, where he told the result to Mu Jingxing and Xiao Chengqian who were playing chess in the pavilion.
Xiao Chengqian frowned slightly, "Cousin, the little princess is already five or six years old, and Court Judge Xue hasn't been able to properly take care of the two ladies. I think it's time to change people."
Mu Jingxing nodded. "You have a point, but all the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital come from medical families. Their medical skills are the best in the entire Dayuan. Miss Song has a way to treat it, which shows that she is extremely talented in medicine."
Wang Gui said, "My two princes, you can ask Miss Song to share those difficult and complicated cases with Dean Xue for their guidance. Their medical skills will surely be improved."
Mu Jingxing frowned, "You want Miss Song to share her medical skills with those old men? Do you think Miss Song is a female doctor?"
"How could Sister Yu become a female doctor? She is the eldest daughter of the Du family!"
Wang Guijiang and the other two suddenly changed their expressions and trembled with fear. "My two princes, it's...it's me who is confused. Miss Song is the eldest daughter of the Du family, not a female doctor..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard a loud shout from behind him, "The Emperor has arrived!"
