My eunuch An is a yandere

The prince consort felt that his body was not reacting properly and immediately called the court physician. The court physician was also an experienced doctor. After observing, smelling, asking and palpating the patient, he spent a long time talking to the prince consort.

To sum it up in one sentence, the prince consort was frightened last night and then took some strong medicine. From now on, there will be no big difference between him and a eunuch.

It was a bolt from the blue. When Cui Li heard about what happened to her son, she fainted. When she woke up, she cried and wanted to go to the palace to seek an explanation.

"The most urgent thing is to send a few more doctors to the princess's residence to give the prince consort a thorough examination and come up with a prescription. The person must be cured."

Bai Ningwei had nothing to say to Cui Lishi. There would be no justice, but she had to save face.

Almost all the staff of the Imperial Medical Service were mobilized. Cui Li wanted to appeal again, but she didn't know what else she could ask for, so she could only retreat.

Cui Li was sent away, but Xiao Yuan'er was reluctant.

"Mother, why did you send the imperial physician to the mansion? I don't want Cui Sanlang to get better at all."

Speaking of which, the reason why Xiao Yuan'er thought of giving the prince consort medicine was because of what Bai Ningwei had said back then.

At that time, she was determined to research an infertility prescription for Bai Ningwei to drink, but she didn't come up with it at all.

Bai Ningwei's words made her realize that having a child is a matter for two people. So, after consulting medical books, she discovered that while it was difficult to find medicine to treat women, there were plenty of potent remedies for men.

This gave her the idea of ​​removing the fuel from under the cauldron and adding more fuel to the fire to stop the boiling.

Bai Ningwei knew that Xiao Yuan'er was so angry that she had lost all her rationality.

"Then do you want to have children in the future?"

"I won't give birth to him even if I give birth to him."

Xiao Yuan'er wasn't just saying this out of anger; she was actually wishing Cui Sanlang was dead.

"Since you want to have a baby, Cui Sanlang must be good."

Without waiting for Xiao Yuan'er to speak again, Bai Ningwei added.

"At least everyone should think he's good. Otherwise, what's the point of your reputation?"

Not everyone is as open-minded as Bai Ningwei, accepting being a stepmother, or even simply not being a mother.

Even though Xiao Yuan'er is a princess, the idea of ​​having children is deeply rooted in her bones. No matter whether her husband can give birth or not, she must give birth.

So for Xiao Yuaner's reputation, the prince consort must be a normal man with no problems.

As for whose child it is, it doesn’t matter. In any case, the child will be given the Cui family’s surname, and it will be the same when the time comes.

As the saying goes, a child may not be yours, but it must be considered yours. Therefore, Cui Sanlang must be in good health.

The imperial physicians who return today will all announce in unison that the prince consort is in good health and has no problems with having children.

"People's words are scary. Even if you are a princess, you cannot lose your reputation."

Bai Ningwei was always thinking about Xiao Yuaner. Once she figured it out, she was naturally very moved.

"Although it's customary for princesses to keep male lovers, you shouldn't use your status to play with others' feelings. If you can have a love that goes both ways in your life, it's still worth it."

After hearing this, Xiao Yuan'er felt a little touched. Bai Ningwei was always like this, considering things from her perspective, and finally encouraged her not to throw the baby out with the bathwater because of one thing.

"But if I really meet someone like that, can I ask for permission to divorce?"

Bai Ningwei pondered for a moment, she didn't dare to make a guarantee on this question.

"The law states that marital discord can be resolved through mutual consent. However, you've injured Cui Sanlang, and I'm afraid the Cui family won't let you divorce easily."

"As for requesting a divorce, your idea is quite bold. As the saying goes, it's better to demolish ten temples than to break up a marriage. The royal family only grants marriages, not divorces."

Xiao Yuan'er also knew that her idea was too shocking, and Bai Ningwei's rejection was within her expectations, but she just couldn't feel better.

As a princess, you have no say in matters of marriage. If you really meet your destined person, how can it be fair to him/her?

"Although I cannot write you a divorce decree, you can fight for a chance to divorce yourself."

"Mother, what do you think I should do?"

Bai Ningwei knocked on the table and said something she had always wanted to do.

"There are so many women in this world who want to divorce, but only a handful can actually do so. The reasons are simply a few. First, they would be left homeless after the divorce. Second, if a woman divorces, she would be charged with violating morals and punished with twenty strokes of the cane."

After a divorce, the woman has no financial security, faces a stigma, and completely severs ties with her children. Given these unfair circumstances, few people dare to divorce.

"If you can come up with solutions to the problem and help women who need divorce to get it done and live well, then when you want to divorce, it will be a natural process."

Bai Ningwei's words made Xiao Yuan'er ponder. She was no longer a naive princess and understood the difficulty of this matter. If she could truly resolve this issue, it wouldn't just resolve her own marital problems, but would also accomplish something earth-shattering. The benefits would be felt in the present and for generations to come.

"My son, I understand."

Looking at Xiao Yuan'er's expression, Bai Ningwei didn't know whether she was willing to do something big, so she simply gave her a push.

"If you want, I have a way to save you from the twenty strokes of the cane."

"What can the Queen Mother do?"

"As you know, the purpose of establishing elementary schools is to help more people learn to read and write. However, this method is a bit slow, and currently, elementary schools are only in Kyoto, which is too slow. I want to introduce a protection law to reduce the resistance when people seek help from the government."

In fact, it is not only difficult for women to divorce, but also for ordinary people to sue the rich and the officials. As the saying goes, if ordinary people sue the officials, they will be executed. Although they may not be beheaded, they will be beaten first when they encounter injustice.

Bai Ningwei wanted to quickly promote literacy, so she set up a special protection law. Anyone who could read the protection law could be exempted from this unfair punishment.

As for why they had to beat people with sticks to intimidate them, the government also had a set of high-sounding excuses, which was simply to make the people ignorant and unable to distinguish right from wrong, and that nine out of ten complaints were false accusations.

If ordinary people can read the protection law, it proves that they are educated people, not fools, and certainly not making false accusations.

Xiao Yuan'er admired Bai Ningwei. This was really a way to have the best of both worlds.

"I just don't know how many people will object when I propose this idea."

Xiao Yuan'er couldn't deal with the opponents, but she could find supporters. After listening to Bai Ningwei's ideas, she immediately went back to discuss the matter with her staff.

After seeing Xiao Yuan'er off, Bai Ningwei had no time to rest, as her brother's wedding would be in five days.

She still couldn't leave the palace, so she had to find a compromise. She asked the embroiderer in the palace to make a wedding dress for Chen Xinxin and called her to the palace to try it on.

When she saw Chen Xinxin in her wedding dress, she could imagine how lively her brother's wedding would be.

Today is the day to try on wedding dresses. Chen Xinxin should have arrived for a while, but because of Cui Li, she was late.
