All the members are good people, only the host is a pervert

Three days after their wedding, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was gentle. Lin Ruan, dressed in gorgeous palace attire, entered the palace with Xie Yunze and went to the Queen's chamber to express her gratitude.

Along the way, Lin Ruan walked more and more anxiously, her complicated palace dress fluttering in the wind, like a tired bird eager to return to the forest, or like a young swallow eager to fly into someone's arms.

System: Host, you've overacted!

( ?? . ??)

Lin Ruan ignored the system's reminder. When she walked in front of the queen, she was already in tears and called out sadly, "Aunt~"

Upon seeing this, the queen hurriedly stepped forward, hugged Lin Ruan tightly in her arms, and comforted her softly, "My child, you have suffered so much..." Her words were full of love and care.

The Empress's heartache for Lin Ruan was genuine, for she had been childless throughout her life. Despite her high position, she harbored an irreparable loss deep within her heart. Towards the other princes and princesses, she maintained a polite yet distant attitude, a way of maintaining balance within the harem. However, it was only with Lin Ruan that she revealed a touch of genuine emotion, tinged with a hint of unspoken guilt.

In reality, the Empress knew full well that the Emperor had given Lin Ruan and Xie Yunze a sterilizing drug in their wedding wine. But in her view, as a princess of the highest rank, Lin Ruan, even if she had no children, wouldn't matter. After all, her status was undeniably noble. Just like herself, despite being childless, she remained firmly entrenched in the Empress's throne, a position no one dared to challenge.

However, unexpectedly, Lin Ruan did not have much reaction after taking the sterilization medicine, but Xie Yunze not only suffered from diarrhea for two consecutive days, but also had sexual dysfunction!

When the imperial physician came to report, not only the empress but also the emperor was shocked. He quickly ordered the imperial physician to keep it secret and not let anyone else know.

If Xie Yunze came from a humble official family, even if he couldn't have sex, Lin Ruan, as a princess, could easily have taken in a few concubines or found a few handsome men to accompany him. But the problem was, the An Ning Earl's family was distinguished by their achievements and high prestige; how could they treat their legitimate second son so disrespectfully? After all, this not only affected the Xie family's reputation but also potentially sparked disputes and conflicts among the court's most important officials. Faced with this thorny situation, the emperor was deeply remorseful.

Lin Ruan's shoulders trembled slightly, and she lowered her head and sobbed softly, tears rolling down her cheeks like beads from a broken string. After a long while, she slowly raised her hand, gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks, and said with a choked voice, "Aunt... I have thought about it for a long time and decided to stay for a while and go to the Jiangnan area with my husband to relax. Firstly, I also want to visit the tea garden that my father once mentioned. Secondly, I asked the imperial physician about my husband's condition - and he is incurable and there is no way to save him!"

At this point, Lin Ruan couldn't help but burst into tears again, sobbing uncontrollably. "Actually, even if it can't be cured, that's fine. I don't care. My only concern is that your husband might be upset about this matter. I'm worried that this will cause greater harm to his health. Furthermore, if this news gets out, your husband will surely be mercilessly ridiculed and mocked by everyone in the capital..."

Lin Ruan knew that the Queen would definitely not be able to make a decision on her own, so she decided to add fuel to the fire. "If this is the case, how can I and my son-in-law maintain our dignity in the capital? It would be better for us to return to the frontier and stay in the Princess's Mansion from now on. At least we won't have to endure the ridicule and mockery of those people in the capital..."

The Queen nodded and said softly, "Aunt knows you're feeling bad. So, don't rush out of the palace. Have lunch here with me. Your uncle, the Emperor, will be here soon, and I'll ask for his opinion then, okay?"

After hearing this, Lin Ruan's heart was filled with gratitude. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she forced herself not to let the tears flow. She just lowered her head and said softly: "Thank you, aunt, you are so kind. I believe that the royal uncle will agree. After all, the royal uncle has always loved me the most..." When she said this, Lin Ruan's voice trembled slightly, as if full of expectation and hope.

Seeing Lin Ruan so sensible and well-behaved, the Queen's heart softened. She reached out and gently stroked Lin Ruan's hair, saying softly, "Don't be afraid, child. Everything will be fine. Your uncle, the Emperor, will definitely not let you suffer any injustice."

At the same time, the queen secretly sent a palace maid to convey a message to Xie Yunze, who was meeting the emperor, asking him to come here for lunch after thanking the emperor.

Doing so could not only appease Lin Ruan, but also give the emperor a reminder without making a fuss.

You know, the heart of an emperor is like the abyss of the ocean, difficult to fathom. The Empress was truly unsure whether the Emperor would grant Lin Ruan's request. Therefore, it would be prudent to leave it at that, so that the Emperor could make his decision. Otherwise, if she suddenly brought it up during dinner, it might catch the Emperor off guard and anger him. What was the point of doing that?
