The Prince of Yongchang County entered the palace, of course, to "please apologize".

He asked He Tiantian to help prepare medicinal diet, and even found some similar cases for experiments in order to curry favor with the emperor.

In a sense, it was also for the emperor's benefit.

However, this cannot conceal the fact that Prince Yongchang used his connections to secretly obtain the emperor's information.

This is "spying on the emperor's traces", this is disrespectful!

If you insist on going online, you can also be charged with having bad intentions and a disobedient heart!

Prince Yongchang is not a smart man, but he has one greatest advantage - he is self-aware.

He felt that his rank was not enough to play tricks in front of the emperor who had been the emperor for more than ten years!

He was very direct. After entering the palace, he apologized and then told everything in detail about how he obtained the case, how he looked for similar cases, and so on.

Of course, when telling this, Prince Yongchang still slightly beautified his intentions: he was dedicated to the emperor and the inheritance of the royal bloodline!

Emperor: ...It’s really uncomfortable to be secretly watched and the other party makes such small moves.

But, this is not the point!

The point is——

"Did those three men really impregnate women?"

The emperor somewhat understood that his half-brother was not a very good person, but he was not a careerist either.

He will stare at himself and try to find "folk remedies" for himself, just to please him, and then try every means to earn credit.

Perhaps, Dongchang also wants his prince to be promoted, or to be able to enter the court and take on a practical position.

...In fact, these emperors are not stingy. He really doesn't like Dongchang's cheap brother, but if he really makes meritorious deeds, the emperor is still willing to give him enough rewards!

And if that folk remedy for giving birth is really effective——

Your Majesty has been the emperor for more than ten years, and even though he has already developed the ability to express his emotions and anger without changing his expression, and to remain calm even when a mountain collapses, he can't help but feel a little anxious at this moment.

Can he not be in a hurry?

Ordinary men, even if they only have two or three broken houses, still want to have a son to pass on the incest and inherit the family business.

And he holds the world in his hands, sitting on thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.

His family really has a throne that needs to be inherited.

In the past few years, the current emperor often took Prince Qi's son with him, as if he was training him as his heir.

The Prince of Qi is the legitimate son of his biological brother and the grandson of his most respected aunt Anle. The emperor loves this biological nephew very much.

However, no matter how good a nephew is, he is not as good as his own flesh and blood.

Not to mention, it is really difficult to break the blood relationship through adoption.

When he dies and his nephew and heir succeeds to the throne, he will definitely ask his biological parents to be crowned emperor or empress dowager.

It is true that the throne is still in their hands, but it is his younger brother and sister-in-law who hold the power and enjoy the incense of sacrifice.

And if his queen and concubine had not died before him, how would they have established themselves in the harem in the future?

The emperor may not be a very affectionate person, but he retains some respect for his first wife, and he has great pity for the woman he loves.

He hoped that even if he was no longer around, the queen and concubine could still enjoy the minimum honor.

If they could have a son of their own instead of having an adopted nephew succeed to the throne, the empresses and the others would not be living too badly because of their honorable status.

What's more, if God is merciful and allows him to have a legitimate son, he can legitimately inherit the throne... everyone will be happy!

"..." Prince Dongchang knelt on the ground, although he felt that his "confession" would not lead to any real punishment.

However, facing the absolute imperial power, he could not help but feel fear and fear.

His clothes were soaked with sweat, his limbs were a little stiff, and his heartbeat was beating like a big drum.

At this moment, Prince Dongchang heard the emperor's voice: "Is their situation really similar to mine?"

call!

There is a way!

Prince Dongchang's tense nerves relaxed a little.

He quickly raised his head and replied respectfully, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the situation of those three people is indeed very similar to yours!"

"A man is twenty-five years old this year, has been an adult for nine years, and has three wives and concubines, but none of them are pregnant."

"A man is thirty-seven years old this year. He has been married for nearly twenty years. He has married two wives and taken a concubine who is said to be very fertile. However, he only has a daughter who was born weak!"

"There is another man who is forty-six years old this year and has been married for nearly thirty years. He has many wives, concubines, and maids, but he has nothing at his knees!"

The Prince of Dongchang County is very good at doing things. The "cases" he selected not only have similar illnesses, but also are very representative in age.

Instead of choosing all men in their prime, he chose an old man who was almost fifty years old.

Such people were considered "senior" in ancient times.

After a lifetime of infertility, the loess was buried up to his ankles.

As a result, a man who seemed unlikely to have any more children succeeded in getting his wife and concubines pregnant at the same time.

This level of persuasion is absolutely amazing!

Sure enough, when the emperor heard the reply from Prince Dongchang, especially the situation of the last case, his breathing became rapid.

If the cases were all young and strong men, the emperor might not be so excited.

He is forty-two years old this year, a proper grandfather.

The queen and concubines all gave up, and the emperor himself had long since given up the idea of ​​trying to have a son again.

However, the Prince of Dongchang County told the emperor that among the three cases he looked for, there was actually a forty-six-year-old man who successfully impregnated his wife and concubine at the same time after only taking that folk remedy for a month!

This this--

The emperor felt his mouth was dry and he could hear his heartbeat pounding.

"Really? Prince Dongchang, do you know the consequences of bullying the king?"

Holding back his excitement, the emperor pretended to be serious and said.

"Everything my brother said is true. Those three people and their female relatives are all in my village!"

"Their pulse records, prescriptions, and recent consultations before conditioning the body are also recorded in the book——"

Prince Dongchang raised his head high, with no hint of guilt or flinching on his face.

What is he afraid of?

The witnesses and physical evidence were all there, and he was not afraid of the emperor going to investigate!

In fact, he was so well prepared just to let the emperor investigate carefully.

Only in this way will Your Majesty know his "good intentions" and his loyalty to the Emperor!

"...Okay! If what you said is true, I will forgive your crime of disrespect!"

After all, he has been the emperor for more than ten years. After a brief excitement, he has regained his sense and ruthlessness as a king.

No, people haven't forgotten the "crime" of Prince Dongchang - spying on the emperor!

However, Prince Dongchang felt confident and no longer had the initial fear and uneasiness.

Hehehe, as long as the folk remedy he found successfully allowed the emperor to have his own biological prince, his guilt would be directly exempted.

A few words of verbal reprimand, a pretense of forfeiture of salary for a few months, and then a big reward (such as being promoted to a prince) were the usual behavior of the emperor.

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"

Prince Dongchang heavily discounted his price and shouted with hope.

Seeing his appearance, the emperor became more and more expectant.

Valley

Immediately afterwards, Prince Dongchang led the emperor's confidant eunuch and a dozen personal guards to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city.

On the other hand, in less than half a day, a stack of all the information about the medicinal lady He Dian was placed on the emperor's imperial desk.

"...saved the third son of the Nanning Marquis Mansion, Gu Jingyuan...does not know medical skills, but only knows a few folk remedies..."

He Dian's information is very simple. He was born in a rural area. He rescued Gu Jingyuan by chance and came to the capital.

After arriving at the Hou Mansion, he stayed for a short time and then left on his own initiative.

Of course, He Dian cured Wei's infertility, which is also highlighted in the information.

Other, more information, no more!

For example, is there anyone instigating her behind her back?

Another example is whether she has any unknown forces secretly.

After repeated investigations by the secret guards, they gave the emperor a definite answer: "No! He's daughter is just an ordinary mountain village girl!"
