Chapter 66

"This King, don't worry?" Hearing her words, Ye Lan Jue's eyes revealed a hint of playfulness. Was this woman telling him to be at ease?

"We pay our respects to Your Highness." It was at this time that Prime Minister's voice sounded. It was clear that Prime Minister was worried and had come to take a look.

"The Imperial Physician Liu has already ordered people to collect Ai Hui, but I wonder what method he gave you?" With the sudden appearance of the Prime Minister, he naturally had to find a suitable reason for himself. Otherwise, if he were to interrupt the Third Prince for no reason, it would not be a small crime.

"Third Court, this humble girl will take her leave first." This time, Tang Ke Xin did not forget the existence of the Third Prince, and politely bowed before he left.

Of course, the reason she did so was because the third prince had stopped her just as she was about to leave.

Since the Third Prince did not say anything, Tang Ke Xin agreed and turned to leave. Fortunately, the Third Prince did not stop her this time.

Just as the sky was about to turn dark, Madame Prime Minister finally woke up. Imperial Physician Liu had ordered, Madame Prime Minister must not be given any random medicine, and even more must not be given any random things.

He did not open the medicine, and repeated instructions for Tang Ke Xin to order the ingredients accordingly.

Tang Ke Xin had always been accompanying Madame Prime Minister by his side. She would take a look at whatever food was used for, and only if there was no problem would she be willing to give it to Madame Prime Minister to eat.

With Imperial Physician Liu's words, no one dared to be careless anymore, even the madame could not speak anymore.

Morning, Kunning Palace of the imperial palace.

The other consorts bowed and left, but only Imperial Consort Ning stayed behind to accompany him in his speech.

It was just that Imperial Consort Ning's expression seemed to be a little tired.

"What happened today? You don't seem to be in good spirits? " When Queen saw her expression, she couldn't help but feel somewhat worried.

"I heard that Emperor went to Ninghe Palace last night. I think he must have been too tired." Without waiting for Imperial Consort Ning to speak, Aunt Xi, who was standing at the side, half-joked.

"Aunt Xi is teasing me." Imperial Consort Ning was stunned for a moment. She purposefully scolded with a smile, but the smile on her face was a bit forced.

Queen was a smart person, so she naturally noticed the oddity in Imperial Consort Ning. She lowered her voice and asked, "Is it something that you need to tell me, and that you don't need to hide anything from me."

"Aunt Xi, can you go out for a while?" Imperial Consort Ning hesitated for a moment, then turned to Aunt Xi, "It's not that I don't believe you, but this matter, others cannot know."

"Alright, this servant coincidentally has to go to the management room to retrieve some things." Aunt Xi was a smart person, he found a way out of the room.

"What's going on? Even the Aunt Xi has to leave?" Seeing her so serious, Queen became even more cautious.

"It's about the Emperor." When the Aunt Xi left, the Imperial Consort Ning leaned towards the Queen and said slowly.

"Emperor? What happened to Emperor? " The Queen frowned, her expression becoming more solemn.

"The Empress should also know that every time Emperor dotes on his concubine, he would give her some medicine afterwards. That medicine is a medicine that prevents her from being pregnant." Imperial Consort Ning pursed her lips and said again, but her voice was more careful.

"Yes, I know about this." Queen's eyes flashed. She only found out about this matter later, because when Emperor stayed at Kunning Palace, he never told anyone to give her any medicine. As a result, she wasn't too clear on what it was that caused Emperor to start letting her concubine drink the medicine.

However, that was a matter of the Emperor. The Emperor did not want children, and even if he was a Queen, she could not meddle in this matter.

"Do you take medicine every time?" The Queen paused for a moment, then looked at Imperial Consort Ning and asked hesitantly.

When she had Cai'Er serve the Emperor, she really had some selfish thoughts. Although Cai'Er wanted to do it herself, she didn't want to hurt Cai'Er because of it.

Hearing the Queen's words, the Imperial Consort Ning was stunned for a moment, and then she smiled bitterly, "If I tell the Queen that she hasn't touched me in many years, would she believe me?"

The Queen was completely shocked. Although Ning Cai'er said those words in a casual and joking manner, the Queen Empress knew that Ning Cai'er's words were true.

"Didn't you say last night that Emperor went to the Ninghe Palace?" Cai'Er had said that it had been many years since Emperor had touched her, but Emperor had clearly gone to Ninghe Palace only last night.

What … what was going on?

"Yes, Emperor went to Ninghe Palace last night, and Emperor would go to Ninghe Palace for a few days every month, but Emperor has never touched a servant, and Emperor always sits at the table and reads, or even never glances at a servant." Yes, Emperor went to Ninghe Palace last night, and Emperor has always go to Ninghe Palace for a few days every month, but Emperor has never touched a servant, The Imperial Consort Ning secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Her words paused, she looked at the Queen and cautiously asked, "Does the Emperor have some sort of disease?

Because Ning Cai`er was the lass of the Queen, she had always called herself a servant in front of him.

"Cough …" Originally, when she heard the words of Imperial Consort Ning, the astonished Empress was just about to drink her tea to suppress her shock, when Imperial Consort Ning suddenly said this, and the tea in her mouth immediately sprayed out.

Emperor can't? Cough?

When she thought about how every time Emperor came to the Kunning Palace, she would always be tormented until she was half dead. The night before yesterday, when Emperor came to the Kunning Palace, he was tormented until midnight.

How could such a Emperor not work? He wouldn't believe it even if he beat her to death.

She had always been thinking about how Emperor was always soaked in rain and dew, why did he always look like a hungry wolf when he went to his concubine's room most of the time, not to mention being fond of his concubine every day?

She remembered that the night before Emperor came to the Kunning Palace, she seemed to have gone to the Ming Gui Fei's place. She felt that she really couldn't handle the torture the Emperor gave her, and at that time, she couldn't help but think, the Ming Gui Fei was young and beautiful, but could it be that the Emperor wasn't satisfied even the night before?

Could it be that Emperor did not touch him?

Impossible, even if Emperor did not touch his other concubines, he would definitely do the same to Ming Gui Fei.

"Empress of the Queen, does this Emperor ever come to the Kunning Palace?" Although it was a little awkward to ask about this kind of thing, since it had already been mentioned, Imperial Consort Ning would not mind if she asked.

"Cough …" Queen could not help but let out a light snort. It was never a good idea to say such things, and she would never tell Imperial Consort Ning about it either.

"Actually, the Emperor rarely comes to my place." The Queen decided to vaguely cover up the problem.

"…" Queen was stunned for a moment, and then she did not pursue the matter, only sighing to herself, "In the end, Emperor is still different from the Empress."

"Empress Dowager of the Queen, a few days ago, this servant accidentally heard a piece of news." Imperial Consort Ning's tone suddenly changed, his expression becoming more serious.

"What news?" Seeing her reaction, Queen was slightly stunned, and subconsciously asked.

"Previously, after Emperor favored my concubine, didn't he always let her drink the pill for contraception?" Imperial Consort Ning moved closer to Queen, trying her best to keep her voice low. Although there was no one else in the room, she had to keep the walls from having ears.

"Yes, I know about this." Queen frowned slightly. She had already mentioned this before, it was just that when Imperial Consort Ning brought it up again, with such an expression, it made her feel worried.

"Originally, this servant thought that it was because Emperor didn't want this servant to bear his child, but the other concubines all thought so as well." Imperial Consort Ning's voice became even lower, but, those words were enough for Queen to hear clearly.

"Eh?" Queen was startled, was it not? The reason the Emperor allowed his concubine to drink contraceptives was naturally because he didn't want her to bear his child. Although, she could not understand why the Emperor would do this.

Actually, the Emperor only had four sons in total, the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, and the Third Prince were all children of the Emperor before he ascended the throne.

To Emperor, four princes wasn't considered a lot, what's more, they didn't even have a single Princess.

Therefore, she had been extremely puzzled about this point.

"A few days ago, this servant unintentionally found out that it was not because Emperor didn't want the concubine to give birth to a child, but because of a problem with Emperor, he couldn't allow the concubine to become pregnant." Imperial Consort Ning's voice had already been suppressed to the lowest.

"Please calm your anger Queen, this servant is not spouting nonsense. How could this servant dare to say such a big thing?" Imperial Consort Ning bent her body and directly kneeled on the ground, "This servant deserves to die, I ask the Queen to punish me."

"What is going on?" Queen secretly heaved a sigh of relief and asked in a deep voice, her hand which was hidden under her sleeves subconsciously tightening.

"This servant had unintentionally heard it from Imperial Physician Liu once. Imperial Physician Liu said that it was because Emperor was injured that Emperor was unable to impregnate women." Although Imperial Consort Ning felt it was strange that Queen was asking for more details, she still replied softly.

"When did Emperor get injured?" His back was suddenly stiff, taut and straight. The hand hidden inside his sleeves was tightening even more tightly, and his fingertip had pierced into her skin, but she did not feel the slightest amount of pain.
