The delicate little cabbage was pushed by the old emperor

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the bedroom.

Shen Leyan slowly woke up and saw Emperor Yong'an beside her. She thought of what happened last night and her face turned red again.

But soon, the issue of offspring came to mind again.

After breakfast, the imperial physician came to take the patient's pulse.

After examining the patient, Doctor Lin looked troubled.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Yong'an felt a pang of anxiety and hurriedly asked, "Doctor Lin, how is the Empress's health?"

Doctor Lin replied tremblingly, "Your Majesty, the Queen is fine. It's just that her constitution is weak and cold, so she needs to be taken good care of."

"If you don't take care of yourself properly, it might be difficult to conceive."

After Doctor Lin said this with gritted teeth, he prostrated himself on the ground, not daring to breathe.

Emperor Yong'an frowned. How could this happen?

It’s not that he is too anxious about having offspring. He cares more about Shen Leyan’s health than children.

Although he also wanted to have a prince of his own with Shen Leyan, he would love their child as much as his father loved him.

He personally taught him how to read, write, ride horses, and shoot arrows...

He wanted to teach their son all the skills he knew, so that there would be one more person to protect Shen Leyan with him in the future.

In addition, Emperor Yong'an was a little greedy and wanted a princess...

Especially a princess who looks like her, so that he can see her when she was a child. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel happy.

But now, he felt that they had just gotten married and he wanted to spend more time with Shen Leyan in their own world, so he was not in a hurry to have children.

When Shen Leyan heard the imperial physician's words, she was also shocked. Is it difficult for her to conceive a child?

She felt a little disappointed, but soon she got over it.

Can't she still take care of herself? She is still young and will definitely get herself back to health.

She didn't want to disappoint them. Her mother and the queen mother were still looking forward to her pregnancy!

And she wanted to give birth to the fruit of their love for her beloved.

Emperor Yong'an saw Shen Leyan's worry, gently held her hand, and comforted her: "Yan'er, don't worry about the child's matter. We can just take it slowly."

"I finally married you, and I want to spend some time with you, just the two of us!"

"If we have a child so soon, you'll have to split your attention to take care of the child, and I'll be jealous..."

Shen Leyan felt a little shy after hearing his frank words, and whispered, "Your Majesty...I understand..."

The imperial physicians in the palace were no longer surprised by the way the emperor and the empress interacted.

After all, the emperor really dotes on the empress, so no matter what Emperor Yong'an does or says, no one finds it surprising.

"Doctor Lin, do you have any treatment options?"

Imperial Physician Lin quickly replied, "Your Majesty, I believe we can use precious herbs like ginseng and deer antler to make a nourishing soup, supplemented by moxibustion, to slowly heal the Empress."

"It's just that this medicinal material consumes a huge amount and requires long-term persistence."

Emperor Yong'an said without hesitation: "As long as the Queen's health can be improved and she can be taken care of, anything is possible."

"Not to mention precious medicinal materials, even if it means using my blood as medicine, that's fine!"

Shen Leyan gave him a reproachful look. She didn't want his blood!

Doctor Lin felt a little ashamed. Even if he had ten times the courage, he would not dare to harm the dragon's body!

He said respectfully, "Your humble servant obeys your order. I will go down and prescribe the medicine right away."

After the imperial physician left, Shen Leyan scolded him, "Your Majesty, please don't say such things again."

"Every word I say comes from the heart."

"But……"

Emperor Yong'an smiled and scratched her nose, "Okay, I'll listen to Yan'er!"

He leaned close to Shen Leyan's ear and said, "From now on, I will only whisper this to Yan'er alone..."

However, this matter somehow got out, and when the concubines in the palace heard that the Queen needed precious medicinal herbs to recuperate, they all had different thoughts.

Many people speculated that the Queen needed to use these precious medicinal herbs to recuperate because she was unable to bear children.

Even the Queen Mother heard some rumors and hurriedly asked Shen Leyan to go to Shoukang Palace to find out the situation.

Emperor Yong'an certainly knew his mother's true feelings. The empress dowager had long been anxious to have a grandson.

Although she would not make things difficult for Shen Leyan because of this, she also did not want Shen Leyan to bear all this alone and increase her psychological burden.

So he accompanied her to Shoukang Palace.

As expected, the moment the Queen Mother saw them, she got straight to the point and asked, "I heard that the Emperor asked the imperial physician to examine the Queen's pulse this morning. Is there anything wrong with the Queen's health?"

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, Yan'er is not seriously ill, but has a weak constitution and needs some medicinal herbs to recuperate." Emperor Yong'an spoke first.

The Queen Mother frowned slightly. "Is that all? I heard that this requires a lot of precious medicinal herbs. If it's just a cold, why go to so much trouble?"

Just as Shen Leyan was about to explain, Emperor Yong'an shook her hand.

He continued, "Mother, I want to be with Yan'er for a long time, so I naturally hope that she will be healthy. That's why I want to use the best medicinal herbs."

"Besides, I also want to have children with Yan'er as soon as possible, so it's always a good idea to recuperate in advance."

When the Queen Mother heard this, her expression softened. "So that's how it is. The Emperor is thoughtful."

"I just hope you can have a child soon."

The reason why the Queen Mother was so anxious was because she was concerned about the country and people of Dazhao.

She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to face the late emperor a hundred years later...

Now the emperor only has three princes left. The eldest prince is cruel by nature, and the Ye family behind him is too powerful.

If the throne is passed to him, the foreign relatives will be in power and the country may change hands. This is absolutely unacceptable.

The fifth prince is cowardly and has a weak background. His biological mother is also incompetent and cannot handle the heavy responsibility.

As for the seventh prince, he now looks like a smart and clever child, and his biological mother, Concubine Qi, has a good family background.

But after all, he is not a legitimate son and is too young, so we cannot give him complete hope.

Therefore, the empress dowager placed all her hopes on Shen Leyan. If Emperor Yong'an and Shen Leyan gave birth to a legitimate son, he would be the best candidate for the throne.

The child born to them must be good at everything!

Moreover, since he is the child of his beloved, the emperor will certainly be willing to raise him carefully.

So she looked at Shen Leyan and said, "Leyan, you guys have to work harder."

"I know you've only been married for a short time and you might want to enjoy some time together, but the issue of offspring is of paramount importance."

"So we still have to put it on the agenda as soon as possible..."

Shen Leyan bowed and saluted, saying politely, "Your Majesty's good intentions, your son understands."

"I know you have always been sensible." The Queen Mother said with a relieved smile.
