The old imperial physician was very skilled and extremely passionate about medicine.

Back then, Su Yan disguised herself as a boy to help treat seriously wounded soldiers, and the old imperial physician had already figured out that she was a woman disguised as a man to help bandage the wounded soldiers.

They could also deduce Su Yan's identity from the servants' respectful and protective attitude towards her.

Later, Su Yan developed antibiotics suitable for this era, saving many wounded soldiers. The imperial physician deeply respected and admired her.

In his eyes, Su Yan was a very kind person who loved the people.

So when he discovered that Su Yan was pregnant, he didn't immediately suspect that Su Yan had cheated on Qin Yan. Instead, he wondered if Qin Yan's body had undergone a miracle and that his symptoms of infertility had disappeared or lessened, which was why Su Yan was pregnant.

After taking his pulse, the old imperial physician immediately smiled, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"What's the joy about?" Qin Yan asked, puzzled and quite angry.

Yan'er is currently unconscious, what's there to be happy about?!

The old imperial physician was overjoyed. "Your Majesty, your condition is no longer one of complete infertility, but rather one of difficulty conceiving. This is the first piece of good news!"

"And the second surprise?" Qin Yan was only stunned for a moment before hurriedly asking.

The extinction of one's lineage and the difficulty in having offspring simply mean that it is no longer possible to have children, but it is not a happy event for Qin Yan.

Because apart from Su Yan, he still felt very repulsed by other women and did not want to have close contact with them.

He can't even get an erection with other women.

More than the not-so-surprising surprise, he was concerned about why Su Yan had fallen into a coma.

"The second piece of good news is... Her Majesty the Empress is now one month pregnant, and His Majesty is carrying an heir!"

"One month pregnant?" Qin Yan didn't react for a moment, his face showing obvious confusion. "I'm pregnant?"

"Yes, Your Majesty! Congratulations! Your Majesty's having an heir is a blessing for the Great Zhou Dynasty and for all the people under heaven!"

"Your Majesty, we offer our congratulations!" The other imperial physicians hurriedly knelt down and loudly offered their congratulations.

At this moment, Qin Yan belatedly realized what was happening. He immediately stood up from the bedside and stared intently at the old imperial physician's face. "You...you said that my infertility has turned into a difficulty in having children, and that the Empress is now one month pregnant."

So you mean... the Empress is already pregnant with my child?

"Your Majesty is right, that is exactly what I meant!"

Qin Yan's mind went blank, and he didn't know how to react. He turned his head blankly to look at the unconscious Su Yan.

Is Yan'er pregnant with his child?

Yan'er is pregnant with his child!

Unable to process what he had just said, Qin Yan paced back and forth in front of the bed, her hands clenched into fists and trembling uncontrollably.

After a long while, Qin Yan finally processed those words, feeling both surprised and worried.

To everyone's surprise, Su Yan is pregnant.

The concern was that Su Yan was pregnant.

"Imperial Physician Lin, why did the Empress fall into a coma?"

"Your Majesty, the Empress has always been in poor health and needs to take tonics every day. Now that she is pregnant, she needs to take extra care of her health."

But… cough, but His Majesty was too vigorous in bed, and the Empress couldn't withstand such intense intercourse. Her body became too exhausted, which caused her to suffer a miscarriage and faint.

His Majesty truly deserves to be called the champion king who conquered the world and whose bravery surpassed that of the entire army! He is also incredibly valiant in the bedroom. The Empress's pulse showed signs of yin deficiency, which even this old man was too embarrassed to mention.

Qin Yan recalled the exciting things he had done to Su Yan every night, and he immediately regretted his recklessness. He was also more worried about Su Yan's health. "Imperial Physician Lin, can the Empress's body carry a child? Can she give birth safely?"

Yan'er has always been frail and needs to take tonics every day. How can she conceive a child?

Moreover, childbirth is like going through the gates of hell for a woman; how could Yan'er's body possibly survive it?

If the price of having an heir is sacrificing Yan'er's life, then he would rather have no heir and hand over the throne to someone else than sacrifice Yan'er's life!

The imperial physician's smile faded, and he frowned as he honestly replied, "Your Majesty, Her Majesty the Empress's health... is indeed not suitable for conceiving, much less for giving birth."

"Wouldn't aborting the child at this time damage the Empress's health?" Qin Yan hurriedly asked.

The imperial physicians were all stunned.

His Majesty finally had a child, and just because of the Empress's health, he wants to abort the child without hesitation?!

"Cough cough... Your Majesty, you are not allowed to abort my child!" Upon hearing Qin Yan's words, Su Yan was so frightened that she hurriedly returned to her body from the system space and woke up to stop Qin Yan's dangerous idea.

Hearing her voice, Qin Yan quickly sat down by the bed and leaned over to look at her. "Yan'er, you're awake? Do you feel unwell anywhere? Shall I have the imperial physician check your pulse again?"

"Your Majesty, did you hear me? You are not allowed to abort my child, otherwise I... I will die with him!" Su Yan looked at him in panic and fear, afraid that he would ruin her mission's first KPI.

Hearing her say she wanted to die, Qin Yan was both scared and angry. "Yan'er, don't talk about dying. You promised to stay with me for life, you can't go back on your word!"

"Then you're not allowed to abort my child!"

"But how can your body withstand the pain of childbirth?"

"I can! At worst, I'll drink tonics and pregnancy-stabilizing medicine every day. No matter what, I must give birth to this child. If you don't let me give birth, we'll get a divorce right now, and I'll raise the child on my own. I don't need you to take care of me!" Su Yan said desperately.

These words darkened Qin Yan's face, but no matter how angry he was, he couldn't bear to vent his anger on her. He could only say sullenly, "You are my wife. Even gods and demons can't change that."

You're not allowed to talk about divorce again, or I'll lock you up in a golden cage.

If you like children, we will keep them. But if you feel unwell, you must tell me so that I can have the imperial physician examine you immediately.

If we ultimately can't save this child, you're not allowed to be too heartbroken, and you're absolutely not allowed to do anything foolish like following him in death, understand?

"I heard you, I promise you everything." Su Yan nodded emphatically, reached out to hold his hand, and looked apologetic.

Seeing that she knew she had said the wrong thing, Qin Yan's anger subsided considerably. He asked Imperial Physician Lin to take her pulse, prescribe a pregnancy-stabilizing medicine, and then devise a new tonic prescription that would not interfere with the pregnancy-stabilizing medicine.

He then warned everyone not to reveal that the Empress was pregnant before ordering everyone to leave the palace.

He sat on the edge of the bed, holding Su Yan in his arms, his large hand gently stroking Su Yan's flat and slender abdomen.

Even now, Qin Yan still finds it hard to believe that such a small belly has already conceived his and Yan'er's child.

From beginning to end, Qin Yan never suspected that Su Yan was cheating on him with another man.

Not to mention that he and Su Yan were in love, he trusted her.

Su Yan is surrounded by palace maids, eunuchs, and female bodyguards. Where would she go to steal a man?

Moreover, she was always accompanied by palace maids and female guards whom he had arranged to protect her. It could be said that everything about Su Yan was under his watchful eye. If Su Yan were to cheat on him, he would have found out long ago. How could he have waited until she was pregnant to find out?
