Chapter 68 Emperor Zhaoning prepares to personally examine Jiujiu
The Thirteenth Prince opened his mouth and said, "Jiujiu was a little girl. When she was young, she caught mice for the cat..."
"What little girl?" Emperor Zhaoning was shocked. "How did Jiujiu become a little girl? Old Thirteen, can you explain it to me clearly?"
After hearing this question, the Thirteenth Prince turned around in fear and saw the very sour face of Emperor Zhaoning.
The Thirteenth Prince was a little scared and did not dare to tell the truth. He was worried that after his father knew the truth, he would hold his mother accountable for deliberately concealing Jiujiu's gender.
In his panic, he began to talk nonsense.
"What? What little girl? Jiujiu is a cute little girl, and Shisan is also a cute little girl."
"Jiujiu turned into a butterfly and flew away with a flutter."
"Fly, fly, fly..."
"Thirteen, chasing and chasing, chasing and chasing..."
The Thirteenth Prince pretended to be crazy and used his hands to imitate the flapping of a butterfly's wings, then flew forward.
He cleverly used the excuse of going crazy to avoid Emperor Zhaoning's questioning.
Emperor Zhaoning looked at the Thirteenth Prince's back as he left, and said with his hand on his forehead, "I actually asked a madman a question? Am I crazy?"
Emperor Zhaoning shook his head, thinking that he was being too serious and it was not good.
But he felt something was wrong. For example, when he looked at Jiujiu, he felt that she was a little girl. Her voice also sounded like a little girl. She looked like a little girl in every way...
That's why he let Jiujiu dress up as a little girl.
But because Concubine Li had told him in advance that Jiujiu was the eighteenth prince, he did not doubt anything.
But now, the Thirteenth Prince said this, which seemed like crazy talk, but it was not necessarily true.
What if he was imitating Concubine Li’s way of speaking?
It is possible.
Emperor Zhaoning was going to find an opportunity to personally verify Jiujiu's gender.

After hugging Jiujiu and kissing her for a long time, the two elders continued to talk to Concubine Li. They were very concerned about how Concubine Li had been doing in recent years and asked her a lot of questions.
Concubine Li was also concerned about her family. She said, "Father and mother, Yaoyao is relieved that you are all well. But what happened to my brother and sister-in-law? They both look unhappy and don't talk much. They are completely different from before."
Concubine Li was a little worried about them.
"well--"
Talking about this matter, Li Canfeng and Xie both sighed and looked helpless.
Concubine Li said, "Dad, Mom, what happened? Tell me. Maybe I can help you think of a solution."
"As long as you can live your own life well, that's all that matters. You don't have to worry about us." Besides, worrying is useless. No one can help with this matter.
"Dad, Mom, you treat your daughter as an outsider, so you don't want to tell me?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? We are always a family." Li Canfeng was worried that Li Fei would think too much, so he said directly, "It's your brother and sister-in-law. They have had a very good relationship since they got married, but they have no children."
Mrs. Xie added, "Your brother is almost 30 years old. Other people have sons in their teens when they are 30, but your brother doesn't even have a child. How can they not be anxious? This anxiety makes them feel upset."
"Plus, your father was worried that they would have a hard time as they grew old without any children, so he wanted them to adopt a child or take a concubine to raise one, but your brother didn't want to."
"Now both sides are unhappy about this matter!"
After listening to this, Jiujiu began to mutter to himself.
【Grandma is right.】
[Mother is twenty-seven this year and already has elder brother Thirteen and Ninety-Nine, but uncle doesn’t have any children at all, so he must not be happy.]
[Let Jiujiu think about why the uncle in the book has no offspring. ]
After hearing Jiujiu's thoughts, Concubine Li looked at her expectantly.
Since Jiujiu said she would think about it, does that mean she has a solution?
There will definitely be one!
Jiujiu is a lucky doll that can bring good luck.
Princess Li believed it.
Li Canfeng and Xie looked at Jiujiu in disbelief.
What did they hear?
Jiujiu didn't move his mouth.
But they heard Jiujiu speaking, or more accurately, they heard Jiujiu's inner voice.
It's incredible.
What’s even more incredible is that Jiujiu was actually wondering why her uncle hadn’t had any children for all these years?
Could she really think of the reason?
The two elders were a little skeptical, but they couldn't help but believe it because they felt that Jiujiu was trustworthy and would not lie to them.
After a while, Jiujiu patted his thigh.
【Jiujiu remembered.】
[The book describes a major event in which many women of officials’ wives in the capital were poisoned. Some of them died directly from the poisoning, some relied on expensive drugs to save their lives, and some had mild poisoning and were not in danger of death, but they were infertile for life.]
[Unless the remaining toxins in the body can be removed, pregnancy is possible. ]
Poisoning?
Princess Li was shocked?
There is such a thing?
How come she doesn't know?
When did my sister-in-law get poisoned?
But Jiujiu knew.
[Six years ago, the capital was invaded by rebels. They captured many women from the families of officials and fed them poison.]
[Some people are smart. They eat the poison and then immediately spit it out. They try their best to spit it out. They spit out a lot. So the poisoning is not serious. But some people just sit there and wait for death. They do not save themselves after taking the poison and end up being poisoned to death.]
[Princess Wen’s mother was one of them, as was her aunt.]
This matter!
Concubine Li finally had some impression.
The Quyang Rebellion six years ago was quite a big deal and my sister-in-law was also captured. Fortunately, she was rescued later.
But I didn't expect that my sister-in-law was poisoned and became infertile because of that kidnapping.
I heard that Jiujiu has a prescription that can cure all kinds of poisons.
Princess Wen had been trying every possible way to ask Jiujiu for it.
Concubine Li only heard about this matter later.
So now, can Jiujiu’s prescription help my sister-in-law get pregnant?
Concubine Li looked at Jiujiu expectantly and said, “Little guy, the chance to help your mother’s family has come, you can’t let them down!”
Jiujiu naturally understood, and she smiled as she searched her purse for the prescription.
After searching for a long time, she took out the prescription and handed it to Concubine Li.
"Mother, this prescription is very powerful. It can remove toxins from the human body and help with pregnancy."
"Hurry up and make a decoction for my aunt to drink!"
"I think my aunt will be pregnant soon."
"Really?"
Li Canfeng was not too shocked that he could hear Jiujiu's thoughts.
He looked at Jiujiu excitedly. Could Jiujiu really help Lao Da and his family have a child? Could he also have another grandson?
Su Xiaoxue, who came in with her servants to add tea, could not hide her excitement after hearing this. She hurried to Jiujiu and Li Fei. Because she walked too fast, she stumbled and almost fell, but she didn't care.
She asked tearfully, "What are you talking about? Can you really make me pregnant?"
