Chapter 1005: The Reason Why

, she couldn't cultivate overly aggressive martial arts techniques. The Xu Nü Xuan Gong was very suitable for Lian Yi, and she had begun reciting the contents of the technique since she was young. Whe...When ripples wiped her tears, she glanced at the emperor from the corner of her eye. Though his face remained expressionless, his eyes held a certain complexity.

"Ripples, these are trivial matters. You needn't dwell on them. Your character is known to me best; those rumors will not prevail."

Although the Emperor had suspicions, he did not reveal them. Instead, he first comforted Lian Yi.

The ripples also saw the good and retreated, wiping away her tears, she said with red eyes:

"As a concubine, I am also worried that Your Majesty's lineage is too weak. Coupled with these rumors, my heart aches. I fear that over time, Your Majesty will believe the rumors and misunderstand me."

"Ripple, you worry too much! I know exactly what's going on. You manage the harem very well, making every visit back to the palace a relaxing one. Your hard work is greatly appreciated. Those baseless rumors I wouldn't believe them."

When Lian Yi heard the emperor's approval, a smile appeared on her face. She even specially accompanied the emperor to drink a bowl of ginseng soup before seeing him off.

With the ripples caused by today's commotion, all the concubines now know their own physical condition and understand that the Empress doesn't deign to interfere with their wombs. Therefore, there are other explanations for why they can't conceive.

After the emperor left Phoenix Palace, he had Quan Fu secretly summon the chief physician from Taiping Hospital to feel his pulse.

The head of the Taiyi Hospital, Zhou Yuanzheng, has completely white hair and beard, but due to good care, he can be described as having youthful vigor despite his age. He is especially skilled in treating diseases related to fertility and childbirth. He himself has many children and grandchildren, with three great-grandchildren already.

So when the Emperor subtly hinted at his suspicions, Zhou Yuanzheng understood what he meant immediately. He focused his mind and took the Emperor's pulse, spending a whole incense stick of time doing so. He also inquired in detail about the Emperor's recent diet and sleep habits.

"Master Zhou, are you saying that my health is failing"

"The Emperor's health is fine, but due to his hard work in governing the country and frequent visits to the inner palace, he has some fatigue and signs of weakness."

Zhou Yuan's words were veiled, but the meaning was clear: the Emperor had kidney deficiency.

"Cough, is there any way to improve it"

Naturally, your humble servant will prescribe a remedy. Your Majesty should take it as directed and maintain a light diet. Reduce the frequency of intimacy with the consorts, and after two months, there should be improvement.

Zhou Yuanzheng immediately replied.

"Zhou Yuanzheng's prescription is ready, and I will have Quanfu personally go to collect the medicine."

"Yes!"

Zhou Yuanzheng understood very clearly what the emperor meant: he didn't want anyone else besides him to know about this matter. Moreover, the emperor's medical records were a secret of the Imperial Medical Bureau, and no one could access them without the emperor's permission.

How could the Emperor's taking medicine be kept secret from Doudou, a plant who is always so well-informed She immediately told her owner and even asked if she needed to add anything to it.

After all, he is the Emperor. Taking medicine should definitely improve his condition. It just needs to enhance his sexual ability, not his fertility. Do you understand

Ripple asked with a smile.

"Don't worry, master. Doudou knows what to do!"

Dodo immediately took action in a sneaky way.

Of course, the emperor's matter of taking medicine to regulate his body couldn't be kept secret for long. After all, the beauties in the harem were still waiting for the emperor's favor. Two months without visiting the harem, everyone would know.

The entire harem fell silent. The rumors about ripples vanished instantly. The women in the palace weren't simple, they had all been trying their best to give birth to a prince. Unfortunately, after more than a year in the palace, none of them were able to become pregnant.

Before this, they had gathered together to figure out the reason. Firstly, the Empress would never stop the Emperor from entering the harem. Apart from the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, for other times, wherever the Emperor went to spend the night in a palace, the Empress would never get angry. When she was in a good mood, she would even bestow rewards on the concubines who were favored.

Instead, there were sometimes squabbles for favor between them, and they would occasionally try to cut each other off. Over a year's time, it wasn't short, and none of them had become pregnant, which made them suspicious.

In fact, they also secretly consulted people to check their pulse and prove that their bodies were fine. So why couldn't they get pregnant In the end, when they couldn't find a reason, they turned their anger on the Empress.

The purpose of doing this is to expose the fact that no one in the harem, besides the Empress, was pregnant. She wants to attract the emperor's attention. If the emperor investigates, he will definitely find out what the Empress did. This will undermine the relationship between the emperor and the empress, giving them a chance.

It can only be said that women raised in large families are all shrewd, with meticulous thinking and methodical actions. It's a pity that they encountered Lian Yi, this queen who doesn't play by the rules. She directly brought this matter to the surface and took the initiative to expose it, proving her innocence.

The current situation is that the emperor is taking medicine, so the problem is obvious. But how could they possibly criticize the emperor Wouldn't that be like saying his life was too long!

In the end, the harem was finally quiet. Lian Ri looked at the effect of her intimidation and felt satisfied. No one dared to act up in front of her anymore, so she continued her life of perfuming incense and raising children.

Occasionally, I still need to pay attention to the Emperor. I constantly send him nourishing soups, and the effect is pretty good. At least the Emperor's complexion is getting increasingly rosy, and his little belly has even started to show.

After Emperor Zhou's kidney deficiency had been confirmed to have improved, the emperor resumed his movements in the harem. However, this time he knew how to control himself, visiting only one concubine every two or three days.

The ripples were massive, she directly stopped the contraceptive decoctions for all the concubines in the harem and said that as long as they became pregnant, they would receive the same rewards as before.

After the Emperor had exerted himself for three months, one of the concubines, Liang Changzai, became pregnant. When she reported to Lian Ri, who was in the middle palace, she was still surprised, could this really make a concubine pregnant

Duo Duo and Xuen Feng were also very strange, especially Duo Duo. She firmly believed that her own hands had done something real, so much so that the emperor could only sow seeds, but the seeds couldn't grow. Therefore, Xuen Feng, taking Duo Duo with him, went to Zhou Da's place to see for themselves.

Before the two returned, ripples had already spread their decree, elevating Liang to the position of Liang Bin, but without a title. They wished to wait until after she gave birth to a child for the Emperor to personally bestow upon her a title.

Besides the reward, there were also gold, silver and jewelry. However, they lacked things like clothes and medicine. According to Lian'er, these items are easily tampered with, so she didn't want to create trouble for herself. Since she had silver money, Liang could take better care of her.

As a first-rank court lady, Lan Zhi personally led people to deliver the rewards and explained the reasons. She also excused Liang Bin's greeting and only let her rest and take care of her pregnancy.

Liang Bin's face was radiant at this moment. She hadn't expected that just after being diagnosed with pregnancy, she would receive so many rewards. She was determined to take good care of the child in her womb.

Laneige then pointed out in front of everyone:

"Lady Liang, now that you are pregnant, the Empress is delighted and has bestowed gifts upon you. As you are the first concubine to become pregnant in two years, the Emperor will also pay extra attention. I hope you will take good care of the child in your womb. After all, not every woman in this palace truly rejoices for you."

"Yes, thank you for the advice, Lan Zhi."

Lady Liang immediately replied, she understood that only by giving birth to the child smoothly could she smile in the end.some for finding buyers, and some for transportation. They even provide after-sales service; if you're not satisfied with the wife you bought, you can even exchange her.This way, the operation grew bi...
