1388 Willing to try
The Emperor, Empress Dowager, and Grand Empress Dowager stayed in the guest house of the Gu family. They ate and slept together every day. Each of them brought a servant with them, while the rest were resting in the residence in the new city.
That morning, after breakfast, the Empress Dowager watched as the children busied themselves with their own matters. She then began to chat with grandmother Gu about the Empress.
Grandma Gu asked in surprise, ” “Mother, you mean to let old Xiao take a look at the Empress?”
The Empress lowered her head in embarrassment.
In the palace, the Grand Empress Dowager and Empress Jiang were both very good to her, and she did not need to pay her respects every day, so she rarely talked about such things with the elders.
The Grand Empress Dowager nodded her head, ” lan lan, the Empress is your niece-in-law. Those grandnephews of yours are too unreliable. That’s why we just want to have another child! If he were to carry one from another concubine, what if another noble consort Lin appeared? Even now, noble consort Lin is still sitting firmly on the throne.”
With Prime Minister Lin’s support, the old king of qu was overthrown, which was why Prime Minister Lin was appointed as the Prime Minister. A few years ago, the king of qu rebelled, and Prime Minister Lin also contributed. Therefore, for the time being, he was not guilty of treason. There was nothing they could do to him. They could only let him go and let him reveal his weakness, then catch him all in one fell swoop.
Grandma Gu frowned slightly and said honestly, ” “Mother, although old Xiao has been studying medicine for decades, he didn’t follow a famous teacher. Ever since her daughter’s accident, she has been pondering on her own. Compared to medicine, she’s more skilled in poison, so I can’t guarantee that old Xiao is confident in this matter.”
“Imperial aunt, there’s no need to make any guarantees,” Empress Xue immediately replied. I’m just a little envious when I see my sister-in-law and younger siblings pregnant. Moreover, the Emperor also said that the most important thing is to relax. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, he’ll take me to Chinan city. I just want to ask aunt Xiao to prescribe some medicine to recuperate and prepare myself. Eldest uncle said that sister-in-law got pregnant last year after aunt Xiao prescribed her some medicine.”
Empress Xue also regarded herself as the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, so she also called uncle Gu and Madam Zhang like Cai Xiaolian and Yang Shi.
Empress Xue had said it herself, but the Grand Empress Dowager didn’t.
Grandma Gu wanted to laugh. You can take the medicine that the big family takes, but you can’t do what the big family does.
She still remembered inadvertently hearing boss scold Zhang Shi last year. He even said that if you continue to be like this, I won’t come back. I have to farm during the day and at night. What kind of wife are you? you don’t even know how to feel sorry for a man.
Grandma Gu had really heard about it by accident and even told Grandpa Gu about it. Then, she scolded uncle Gu and Zhang Shi. They were both about to become grandfathers, but they were just like newlyweds. They were such annoying things.
Grandma Gu personally introduced grandma Xiao to Empress Xue.
After grandma Xiao took her pulse, she asked about Empress Xue’s situation. After Empress Xue had given birth to the third Prince, something happened to her parents, causing her to be depressed and unable to take care of her body. Later, when she got pregnant, she would have a miscarriage. The emperor’s heart ached for her, and every time, he would count the days. It was only in recent years that Empress Xue stopped getting pregnant.
The Grand Empress Dowager knew about Empress Xue’s miscarriage, so she couldn’t blame anyone else. With the emperor’s protection and Empress Xue herself as the head of the harem, she would definitely not be harmed.
Grandma Xiao wasn’t confident in this situation either, so she could only give it a try.
On the other hand, Empress Xue was in a good mood and was willing to try.
The main reason was that she had been brainwashed by the Emperor. She felt that as long as she was in kunzhou, she would definitely be able to get pregnant. As long as she was close to the Gu family, good things would happen.
