No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Seeing her face turn pale, the Fourth Master smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? All the good things are in the palace."

"I'll go to the palace and see the Empress later, and ask her if there's any good solution."

He would not have told the Empress about this before, but this year the Empress has indeed been much nicer to him. Although he doesn't care much, it is not impossible for him to ask for a good prescription for Cha Cha.

Lin Mingyan didn't expect that he, who was so conservative before, would now dare to say these things to his elders.

Just... a little blushing.

"Why don't you ask the imperial physician?" Lin Mingyan was a little embarrassed. "It's better than asking the queen, right?"

The Fourth Master curled his lips and smiled: "If the imperial physician is useful, do you still need to go to the palace to ask?"

There are some things that are circulated among the concubines in the harem that the imperial physician may not know.

Lin Mingyan thought about it, and between always getting pregnant and giving birth and the Fourth Master embarrassing himself in front of Concubine De, she chose the latter.

After breakfast, the Fourth Master went to Shaoguangyuan again. Doctor Li had an idea in mind after communicating with Doctor Hua.

However, some things need to be prepared, so treatment cannot be performed for the time being.

The Fourth Master looked at Li, whose eyes were bruised and black, and was too lazy to look at her, so he mounted his horse and went to the palace.

Because he had taken leave, he went directly to Yonghe Palace to pay his respects to Concubine De and asked for contraceptive prescriptions.

When they arrived at Yonghe Palace, the mother and son looked at each other in silence.

Even if there is a knot in the heart, the way mother and son get along has been established over the years.

It’s okay if we don’t meet, but it’s nice to send me some gifts and ask me to convey a few words of concern.

But when they met, things were different. Neither of them was the type to express their emotions, so the conversation became awkward.

It's a bit like a modern online friend meeting in person. They can talk to each other from the heart even though they are separated by an Internet cable.

When we met, we felt like strangers for a moment.

The Fourth Master sat and drank half a cup of tea before finally speaking: "Does the Empress know of any mild contraceptive soup?"

"Contraceptive soup?" De Fei asked suspiciously, "What do you want contraceptive soup for?"

The Fourth Master coughed and clenched his fist to cover up his words, saying, "Niuhulu is still young, and she gave birth to three children in her first pregnancy."

"I'm afraid she'll get pregnant again, which would hurt her body."

In fact, he felt a little regretful. If he had been clear about his feelings earlier, he would not have let Cha Cha have a child so early.

You have to raise her until she is around 20 years old so that her body will be well developed and she can get pregnant.

But now that the baby is born, it’s too late to say anything.

It is best to delay having the next child until after the age of 20.

After hearing this, Concubine De was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that her cold-hearted fourth son would have such thoughts.

She thought of her three sons and three daughters. Wasn't it just about having more children?

Although this was a sign of her favor, only she knew the physical damage it had caused.

Now that the fourth child had this idea, she sighed and said, "Where is there any contraceptive soup that is not harmful to the body?"

"Women are naturally afraid of cold, and contraceptive soups are basically cold things. Eating them frequently will harm your body."

"Look at Concubine Wei in the Yanxi Palace. She often uses contraceptive soup, and she bleeds profusely for half a month."

The Fourth Master suddenly remembered the Eighth Master's biological mother, Concubine Wei, whose beauty was unmatched in the harem.

But I heard that he was suffering from severe illness, and after these years, he seemed to be even worse than the Empress.

It turns out that this disease is caused by being overindulged.

"Then...what if it's for men to use contraception?" The Fourth Master's words made Concubine De lose her grip on the teacup.

With a "bang", it fell on the table.

She widened her eyes and said, "You...Old Four, what did you say?"

Is she hallucinating?

Is there any man in this world who wants to take contraceptive soup?

"The medicine is cold in nature, and men are not afraid of it, so I might as well take it," the Fourth Master thought in reverse.

If Concubine De didn't have so many years of acting experience, she could fit an egg in her mouth.

She pondered for a moment and said, "If you really want it, then mother has a recipe here."

"But no one has used it before. Remember to find a reliable doctor to check it before taking it."

This recipe has been circulating in the palace for many years, but no royal family has used it since the previous dynasty.

There is no other reason, men in this world take care of their bodies the most.

Anyway, the pain of childbirth or avoiding favor is borne by women, and they just need to take care of their own comfort.

Now, her son is going to be the first to use it.

But that’s not certain. What if you see a doctor and then change your mind?

The Fourth Master took the prescription, thanked him, and left the palace before returning to Linfengju to tell Lin Mingyan the good news.

But just as I walked in, people from Shaoguangyuan came to invite me.

It was said that Doctor Li had prepared everything, but he insisted on waiting for the Fourth Master to arrive before he would start treatment.

The Fourth Master said nothing and took Lin Mingyan to Shaoguangyuan.

Li and her men were waiting at the door. When they saw the Fourth Master, her eyes lit up, but when she saw Lin Mingyan beside him, her eyes were as sharp as if they could kill.

Lin Mingyan sympathized with her daughter's illness, so she ignored it and followed the Fourth Master into the house.

Su Peisheng had already arranged the seats in a servile manner. This time they sat on both sides of the reception table, and Li could only sit in the armchair opposite.

Doctor Li saw the Fourth Master coming and said, "Fourth Master, the cause of the eldest princess' illness has been almost figured out."

"But I'm sure you'll have doubts. Please forgive my rudeness and let me show you with your own eyes."

"As long as you can cure the eldest princess, Doctor Li, you can do it boldly!" The Fourth Master nodded and told him to do it boldly.

But I had no impression that acupuncture existed at all. Doctor Li took out a black thing.

Lin Mingyan looked over curiously. It looked like a piece of iron?!

Could it be that the princess is iron deficient? !

The Fourth Master also looked puzzled: "What is this?"

"Replying to the Fourth Prince, this is a magnet," said Doctor Li.

"Magnet?" The Fourth Master didn't understand and didn't interrupt.

Lin Mingyan sat aside, her mind in a mess.

Why do we use magnets to treat diseases?

She remembered a saying that was circulated in the village in modern times:

Acupuncture on a large female body will result in the birth of a boy.

Because of this sentence, her eldest sister suffered a lot.

My grandmother secretly pricked my eldest sister with a needle when she was a child, and it went undetected for decades.

When Lin Mingyan grew up, she thought about her elder sister always complaining about back pain.

I saved up some money and took her to the hospital for an X-ray. Unexpectedly, I found that the 30-year-old woman had more than a dozen needles in her body.

Even some of the needles are rusty!

Although most of it was removed through surgery later, she was affected by it for the rest of her life.

Could it be that this is also the reason for the eldest princess? !

Everyone was watching Doctor Li's actions, but Lin Mingyan looked at Li with burning eyes.

Sure enough, after the imperial physician suggested using a magnet to absorb the needle, Li's face turned extremely ugly.

A pair of hands almost twisted the handkerchief into a knot...
