Chapter 131 is no longer the first time
Han Caiwei slightly pursed her lips, the remaining passion in her heart retreated, and she regained the doctor's usual calmness. She looked at Wang and said: "After the surgery, I told Yiner that you would not be able to have children again. Yiner must have told you too. I'm just a skilled doctor, not a great god who can perform miracles."
"Korean sister, what do you want me to do for you? I know you must have a way!" No matter how Han Caiwei explained, Wang Shi just ignored her. She only wanted one child, she only wanted Li Xiuzhen's child, nothing else mattered, even if it meant being demoted to a concubine.
Han Caiwei couldn't understand her idea at all, she just couldn't figure out why a woman would be so obsessed with having a child with a man who didn't love her. She tried to persuade her in every way but it was no use, her patience finally wore off, and she said coldly: "The king is right in your courtyard, I'll call him in, you can talk to him yourself."
She was most impatient with these things, slightly frowning and turning to leave, Wang Shi again wanted to pull her sleeve, but she frowned and brushed it off, directly exiting the inner chamber.
Li Xiuzhen saw her coming out and came forward: "Finished 'playing'?"
Han Caiwei's eyes were slightly cold: "I don't think I ever told you, but the Wang family can no longer have children."
After she fainted from exhaustion last time, she didn't discuss the matter of Wang's family with Li Xiuzhen again. Although she mentioned something similar before her surgery, there was no formal notice. Wang's mother should know about it, and these days Wang's mother has been taking care of her, so probably only Li Xiuzhen hasn't asked about it.
Li Xiuzhen slightly pursed her lips: "Is this what you wanted to say? I already knew, Your Majesty. On the day of the surgery, I already knew," he had long noticed that something was off about her and raised an eyebrow to ask, "What happened?"
Han Caiwei took a deep breath: "I've already made it clear to Wang that her body is no longer suitable for childbearing, but she refused to listen and insisted that I cure her! --- Wang said she just wants a child, wants your child."
Want to follow him. Li Xiuzhen slightly frowned and sighed: "I'll go in and talk to her." Just as he was about to walk in, Han Caiwei blocked the door and wouldn't let him pass. Li Xiuzhen slightly raised an eyebrow, but she just quietly looked at him.
"If I said I could cure her, would you let her give birth to your child?"
She actually didn't know what she wanted to do either, just wanting to ask, and this question slipped out.
Li Xiuzhen let out a soft sigh: "Han Caiwei, there are no ifs in this world. If you could save her, why use such methods? The promise I made to you will not change, I will not betray you." After finishing speaking, he smiled slightly and took her hand, pushing aside the door curtain. "Come with me."
Li Xiuzhen directly pulled her to the bedside of Wang Shi, then slightly waved his hand and said: "You don't have to get up, just lie down, don't mind so many courtesies." After a pause, he looked at Wang Shi very calmly and said: "Bao'er, I've made it clear to you before. Don't be obstinate, you've done those things over and over again. I can tolerate it, but don't make things difficult for Han Caiwei. This life, I will never have children with you. You must remember, this has nothing to do with her, it's just that I don't want to have children with you. Do you understand?"
The hope that had flashed in Wang's eyes instantly disappeared, leaving only endless despair: "Wang Ye, how could you, how could you treat me like this? Did the six years I spent with Wang Ye mean nothing?"
Li Xiuzhen narrowed her eyes slightly: "This isn't the first time, is it? Why can't you just drink the medicine and not love the smell of grass, do I need to say it clearly?" In the past, Li Xiuzhen wasn't unaware of what had happened, he was just too lazy to mention it. He thought he was giving her face, but unexpectedly she developed a foolish obsession. Now it's better to end it early.
"Your Highness, I——" Wang Shi was overcome with tears and couldn't say a word. How could outsiders understand her suffering? This man she had lived with for six years, she realized she hadn't understood him at all.
Li Xiuzhen looked at her like that, let out a slight sigh, turned around and said to Yiner: "Take good care of your master, it's late at night, get some rest early, I'm leaving."
Han Caiwei didn't say a word from start to finish, and only after coming out did she cautiously ask: "Why did you say this isn't the first time? What did Wang do in the past?"
Li Xiuzhen glanced at her and said lightly, "This is an old matter, I don't want to mention it again. Besides, no one in the palace dares to bring it up anymore. But since you asked today, I'll tell you, so you won't have any more doubts and go ask others, causing unnecessary trouble."
Han Caiwei pursed her lips: "A very serious matter? More serious than me running away?"
His eyes, which had always been cold, flashed with a hint of warmth after hearing her words. He slightly curled his lips and said, "You're just tormenting yourself, not harming anyone else. To be honest, three years ago, Yulan was once pregnant. It was because I thought that this world couldn't wait for the person who truly understood me, and my father was pressuring me to have an heir. Yulan was also very obedient and understanding, so I allowed her to become pregnant. However, at that time, Wang Shi fell ill, and a careless maid mistakenly switched Yulan's prenatal medicine with Wang Shi's medicine. After drinking the medicine, Yulan had a miscarriage. At that time, nothing could be investigated, and the maid was punished to death without saying a word. Later, it was discovered by chance that Wang Shi's medicine residue contained a large amount of red flower and other blood-activating substances, which were not suitable for her illness at all. I had no evidence at the time, so I had to endure this matter. Therefore, how can I tolerate Wang Shi's behavior now? Leaving her alive in the palace as a concubine is already being too kind!"
A mother losing her child is probably the most painful thing in the world.
"No wonder Wang's sister is such a 'lustful' person now, and Wang himself has become that kind of 'lustful' person too." No wonder Miss Pang said earlier that the women in this Wang household are not to be trifled with. She had no evidence, but it was clear that Wang did that thing, I suppose Miss Pang must have been furious with Wang Bao'er in her heart!
"After that, Father's heart also cooled down and didn't urge anymore. But I knew he was helping me to choose a 'colorful' person, so I could only drag it day by day. Now that there is Xu Er, Father can finally rest assured."
Han Caiwei nodded, but her heart was not as calm as the surface. This palace was indeed surging with undercurrents, and she didn't know what kind of waves would be stirred up by her intervention this time.
Li Xiuzhen took Han Caimei away from Qingyun Pavilion, Wangshi wiped away tears in the room, and Yin'er carefully handed over a handkerchief: "Master, do you still want to do that thing?"
Wang's lips pursed, his voice low: "Why not? You've seen it for yourself, what's there to hesitate about in a situation like today?"
A hint of pain flashed across her eyes, Third Prince, you've ruined Bao'er's heart.
