I was given the contraceptive soup and became the emperor's white moonlight

"Please come this way, Doctor!" Nanxing walked up to the old doctor and bowed.

The two of them walked in silence all the way to the palace gate.

Nan Xing stretched out his hand to block the old doctor's way: "May I know your name, sir?"

"Fuck, my surname is Xue." The old doctor bent down in fear and trepidation.

"Doctor Xue," Nan Xing smiled in confusion, "I have accompanied the old gentleman here for no other reason. There is only one thing that the master cannot say directly, so I can only convey it for you."

Nan Xing walked slowly closer with a smile on her face, took out a gold ingot from her waist and placed it on the old doctor's palm, "My master knows very well who the old gentleman is working for, but he always has to think about himself."

"What do you think, Doctor Xue?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Doctor Xue apologized with a smile, his hands holding the gold ingot trembling uncontrollably.

"All parents in the world care about their children. Doctor Xue, you shouldn't make people sad for no reason. It shouldn't be difficult to just report that they are safe, right?"

"Of course, of course!" The old doctor secretly breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "When I go back, I will just say that the queen sent someone to test my ability. As for taking your pulse..."

"No! No, no! I am of lowly status, how dare I covet your body."

Nanxing couldn't help feeling disappointed when he saw that the old doctor was so sensible and all the threatening remarks he had prepared were useless.

"Please, old sir."

"Thank you, young lady!" Doctor Xue bid farewell to Nanxing and walked towards the palace gate tremblingly.

The old back became more hunched.

Nanxing watched him walk out of the palace gate before she calmed down and turned back to the palace.

On the other hand, Su Minglang didn't want to face Madam Su again, so he asked someone to send her out of the palace.

Madam Su looked at the high courtyard and deep walls inside the palace gate with a complicated expression. She felt a pang of pain in her heart and a few tears appeared in the corners of her eyes.

"Langlang..."

Madam Su turned around with a sad look on her face and walked into the carriage, holding the handkerchief tightly in both hands, her fingertips were turning pale. Which mother in this world would be willing to push her children into such a bottomless den of tigers and wolves? But she had no choice, or rather, Su Minglang had no choice. Born as a daughter of the Su family, she could only devote herself to the Su family, even if it meant sacrificing her entire life, even her life.

The carriage slowly drove out of the palace gate and headed towards the Su Mansion. Madam Su listened to the sound of the wheels rolling over the bluestone slabs and the occasional noise outside, and she endured the discomfort and dared not close her eyes for a moment. She was afraid of seeing her daughter's disappointed eyes. The carriage returned to the Su Mansion without any obstruction. No one was waiting for her under the towering courtyard wall. Only a servant was waiting outside the door, waiting for the carriage to stop and then greeted the old doctor into the mansion.

Madam Su sighed silently, and the heavy door closed, raising a cloud of dust.

"Old Master!" Doctor Xue bowed respectfully to the old man in front of him.

Old Master Su nodded. Years of leading troops in battles had made him exude a strong murderous aura, and his eyes revealed a sharpness that was difficult to look directly at.

Doctor Xue broke out in a cold sweat under such a look.

"Old Doctor, I will get straight to the point. Empress Zhaoyi asked you to enter the palace. What have you done?"

Doctor Xue quickly put on a smile and said as he had prepared, "My old master, the Empress Zhaoyi summoned me just to test my basic skills. She didn't ask any other questions."

"What else?" Old Master Su was obviously not that easy to fool. If he just wanted to test some basic skills, why would he take the risk of sending someone into the palace?

"Other, other..." Doctor Xue broke out in a cold sweat. He thought about it but couldn't find any other reason. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he remembered Miss Nanxing's last words before she left.

"The queen...she asked me to check her pulse, because, because of her infertility."

"What's the result!" Old Master Su's face changed instantly, but he saw the old doctor slowly shook his head and remained silent.

The heart that had just been raised finally fell back, "Forget it, she is unwilling to accept it after all."

"But even if she is unwilling, what can she do? It's because she is incompetent and can't even take care of herself!"

The more Old Master Su spoke, the angrier he became, and he began to think of sending another daughter of the Su family into the palace.

Doctor Xue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that he had been fooled, and did not dare to delay and quickly asked for his resignation. He did not finally breathe a sigh of relief until he had left the Su Mansion.

"No wonder the queen didn't say anything. Haha, being born in such a rich family doesn't mean everything is good!"

"Li Gui!" Old Master Su called to the housekeeper, "Send a letter to ask the north, is there really no way to cure it?"

"Yes, Master." The housekeeper responded, took the envelope and asked in confusion: "Master, aren't you planning to send another young lady into the palace? Why do you have to ask this?"

"You don't understand!" Old Master Su shook his head. "There are three thousand beauties in the harem. It's not difficult to send a woman with a clean background into the palace. The difficulty lies in gaining the favor of His Majesty. Su Minglang is in great favor now, but she can't give birth!"

"Although a temporary favor may not bring long-term benefits, it is better than rashly giving it to someone and causing His Majesty to dislike it. This matter still needs to be considered carefully!"

"If she can really be cured, it's her good fortune. If she can't be cured... then there's nothing we can do about it. There's no rush to give her away then."

"Master is really thoughtful!" The butler flattered and left with the envelope.

"Su Minglang, Su Minglang, why did it have to be you!"

Inside Linglong Palace.

"My lady, please don't be sad..."

Xiao Ye looked at Su Minglang's sad expression and her heart ached.

"Madam, she is just hard on the outside but soft on the inside. Who knows how worried she is about you."

"Okay, I'm not sad." Su Minglang shook his head, closed the cup lid and slowly stood up, "My mother is devoted to the Su family, there is nothing wrong with that, there is nothing wrong with that."

At this point, she could only grit her teeth and comfort herself like this, but she knew clearly the truth behind these words.

She knew clearly that her position and role in the Su family, or rather the position and role of every girl in the Su family, was nothing more than an object that could be exchanged for benefits for the Su family at any time.

"My lady, do you want to go out and get some fresh air? You'll have a headache again if you stay in the room."

"Hmm?" Su Minglang realized that he hadn't had a headache all day. "I feel pretty good today. Maybe my mother's coming here has eased some of my homesickness."

Su Minglang gave a bitter smile, and finally walked to the yard with Xiaoye's support to get some fresh air.

The weather is getting a little cool, and the leaves in the yard are almost turning yellow, with only a few chrysanthemums in bud.

"The days are getting shorter and shorter," Su Minglang sighed, "It will be Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, right? When the chrysanthemums bloom, I'll find a small kitchen to brew some chrysanthemum wine."

Xiao Ye responded with a smile when she heard that. She felt relieved when she saw Su Minglang finally smile.
