Chapter 1073: Chapter 1068: Can’t Bear to See His Majesty Without a Successor

Su Pan’er snuggled up to him obediently, her eyes half-closed as she quietly relished in his tenderness.

"You don’t need to worry, didn’t Imperial Physician Wang say that I’m fine?"

Su Pan’er shifted into a more comfortable lying position.

"You always say it’s nothing, but every time..." Qin Yi’s voice was particularly low.

"How could it be so fast? Not to mention that I’ve just been diagnosed and haven’t taken any medicine. Even after taking the medicine, it wouldn’t work this quickly."

"What’s quick about it? You’ve been taking medicine for a long time now..." Qin Yi suddenly stopped speaking.

Su Pan’er’s body stiffened, and then she relaxed, "You know about it?"

"Mm."

He nodded silently, "You have them make decoctions for you to drink every day, how negligent would I have to be to ignore that. I haven’t told you because I know you don’t want me to worry..."

She never told him, and he pretended he didn’t know. But secretly, he had instructed the kitchen servants to be careful and to deliver the decoction promptly when it was time.

Su Pan’er narrowed her eyes and quietly wrapped her arms around his waist.

The reason she didn’t tell him was not, as Qin Yi said, because she was worried he would fuss over her health. The reason she didn’t speak of it was that she was taking that medicine every day to recuperate her body.

When she gave birth to Little Yanyan, she was busy fleeing for her life and suffered frostbite in the wilderness, then strained herself to save Ye Han, who was hanging by a thread, without proper rest, damaging her health at the core. The birth of Little Sugar Bean was even a bigger ordeal – it was a Nine Deaths One Life situation!

In this world, if there’s anything most magnificent, it is women. For their children, they are willing to stake their lives in exchange, all for the sake of birthing the child connected by blood to themselves and the man they truly love!

Su Pan’er always had a sense of determination in her heart!

"Do you know? There was a reason why Little Sugar Bean was born prematurely."

Su Pan’er murmured softly with her eyes closed, as if talking to herself.

Qin Yi tightened his arms around her but remained silent.

"While I was pregnant with Little Sugar Bean, I was mostly in a deep slumber, and what followed was a journey full of dangers and close calls. Even I didn’t know if the child in my belly today would still be there tomorrow. It wasn’t until I finally made it to seven months that I let out a sigh of relief."

"Back then, I thought, whether the child in my womb was a boy or a girl, I wanted to give him (her) the best, to bring him into this world and raise him well. Even though by that time, news of you leading the troops to capture the king had already reached Luoyan Village, and people were not optimistic about you. I couldn’t even be sure if I could see the next sunrise."

"But I still hoped that she would be born safe and sound."

Su Pan’er smiled faintly, her long eyelashes casting a shallow shadow, obscuring the color of her eyes from Qin Yi.

"But then, your mother... oh no! Your foster mother scolded Little Yanyan, injured Shuang’er, and a series of other things that agitated me! In that moment, I suddenly realized, if I lost you, what would I and the child do? My heart tensed up at the thought, and as a result..."

Emotional agitation resulted in Little Sugar Bean’s premature birth!

This child turned out to be a girl, disappointing so many people. But to Su Pan’er, her safe birth was an unexpected joy, a precious gift bestowed upon her by the heavens!

"It’s my fault that I wasn’t there for you when you were giving birth to our daughter," he said, his voice hoarse and somber.

He bent down and kissed her face over and over again.

"I don’t blame you for not being by my side, because I know that you were also fighting for the future of me and our child."

Without fighting, given the situation at the time, Qin Zitong would definitely not have let them live!

By fighting, at least there was a chance for survival!

Fortunately, they had won the bet!

She opened her eyes, lifted her head, and gazed at him who was close at hand.

Raising her hand, she used her thumb to gently rub against his chin, where a ring of dark stubble was quietly emerging, pricking her fingertip and bringing a slight sting.

"It’s just that it has ruined your health."

Qin Yi felt somewhat annoyed and, taking advantage of the moment, bit her little finger.

The former Pan’er had been robust, but now she could be knocked over by a mere gust of wind—all of this he had seen.

"My health is fine."

Su Pan’er shook her head, hesitated for a moment, then decided to speak openly now and have an honest conversation, "After all, I am a martial artist; even if my body is weaker than ordinary people, it shouldn’t cause serious problems. It’s just... regarding offspring, I’m afraid it might be difficult..."

"Old Xue has mentioned it."

He had long heard from Old Xue that Pan’er’s symptoms during her pregnancy with Little Sugar Bean were very dangerous. At that time, he was busy with campaigns in the south and the north. Old Xue had written to him several times, advising him to persuade Pan’er to end the pregnancy. However, Pan’er persisted in wanting to give birth to the child. For many days and nights, he was so worried that he could not sleep. Fortunately, in the end, both mother and daughter were safe, and Pan’er safely delivered a girl, allowing him to finally let go of the worry that had hung over him for months.

"I thought you were only in danger when you carried Little Sugar Bean, but I didn’t realize..." He did not continue, but instead suddenly laughed, "Offspring are a gift from heaven! Right now, I already have two princesses, and I am truly satisfied! If we can’t have more children, I am also perfectly content!"

In his heart, only Pan’er was the most important.

Although he hoped to have descendants to inherit this great land, he also did not want the territory he had conquered to fall into the hands of others. But in his eyes, even two more realms couldn’t compare to one Su Pan’er!

Moreover, they already had two princesses; they should be content!

"But the ministers will not be content! The ministers will not allow it!"

They would not sit back and watch the Great Zhou dynasty come to an end in His Majesty’s hands; they would surely stop at nothing. Taking more concubines was just the first step, and as time went on, there would be many more schemes to come!

There were many women in the Imperial Harem’s Palace, all with good health, and each one quite capable of bearing children!

"Do you think I’m the kind of emperor who is easily swayed by his ministers?"

Qin Yi snorted coldly, retorting.

Su Pan’er laughed, her fingers tracing from his chin down to his Adam’s apple, feeling the vibration as he spoke, and a deep sigh escaped her lips.

"His Majesty is naturally not, but Pan’er can’t bear it! I can’t bear to see you without an heir, so, so..."

"So what? Hm!"

He snorted heavily, and Su Pan’er felt the air around them suddenly drop a few degrees.

Anger was emanating from him.

Su Pan’er’s heart trembled slightly.

She bit her tender, pink lower lip, extended her hand to his eyebrow, and tried to smooth out the furrowed brow.

"There are many beautiful women in the harem, skilled in singing and dancing..."

"Don’t even think about it!"

Qin Yi suddenly flew into a rage!

"Su Pan’er, what do you take me for? A stud horse for any woman to mount? Or do you think I’m so insignificant in your heart that any woman could just come along and you’d push me towards someone else!"
