In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 1075 - 1070: Heir

Chapter 1075: Chapter 1070: Heir

Unexpectedly, after the morning court session ended, Ye Han actually stayed behind.

Taking advantage of the moment when there was no one around, he secretly presented a note to Qin Yi.

"What is this?"

Qin Yi said, curiously picking up the folded piece of paper and slowly unfolding it. The writing on it was clear: "Aspongopus 10 coins, dwarf morning-glory 30 coins, swiftlet bird nest 10 coins, Herb of Sessile Didissandra 15 coins, five-flavor-fruit..."

"What formula is this?"

He asked curiously.

Ye Han coughed softly twice and leaned in to whisper, "This humble servant has heard that this prescription is most effective for kidney deficiency. Typically after taking three doses, the effects show."

Kidney deficiency?

Qin Yi’s eyebrows rose as he patiently finished reading the note in his hand and then slowly crumpled it into a ball before suddenly throwing it with force. The paper ball hit Ye Han on the head and bounced away, disappearing into a corner.

Bang!

Qin Yi slammed his hand down on the dragon desk, "How dare you! What do you mean by bringing this prescription to me? You have a lot of nerve, not fearing that I would have you killed for this!"

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger, this humble servant was considering the health of Your Majesty’s dragon body. I beg Your Majesty not to be angry, as stored anger harms the body and depletes vitality. When vitality is lacking, the body is tired, one sweats in sleep and dreams often, and it becomes difficult to sleep. Also..."

"Enough!"

The veins on Qin Yi’s forehead visibly throbbed, "Stop talking about these baseless things to me and mind your own business! Hmph!"

Having said that, he left with a sweep of his sleeves.

Ye Han knelt there for quite a while before slowly getting up and limping out of the Imperial Study.

Not long after he left, a little eunuch sneaked into the Imperial Study, rummaged in the corner and quickly found the paper ball. The details of the medical case on that prescription soon leaked out.

"It’s a decoction for warming and supplementing kidney deficiency, consolidating essence gates, nourishing the lungs and kidneys, healing injuries and thirst, and preventing excessive sweating and dreams from sexual exhaustion during pregnancy. The amounts prescribed in this formula are hefty, clearly not something an ordinary person could come up with."

"The decoction is genuine and indeed a prescription for consolidating essence and nurturing the origin. However, such a prescription can only provide symptomatic relief, one has to recover slowly..."

Once the prescription leaked, news quickly spread.

Thus, the news that the one sitting on the dragon throne was impotent quickly passed around openly and in secret.

By the time the news reached Qin Yi’s ears, several days had already passed.

He was furious upon learning of it! He immediately ordered the execution of two ministers who had recklessly discussed the matter and demanded the Court of Judicial Review thoroughly investigate and give him an explanation!

But humans have this inertia; the more you forbid them from doing something, the more they want to defy it.

As a result, no one in the court dared to discuss the matter openly, but in secret, the rumor spread wider and became more mysterious. Some even brought up the Empress’s previous miscarriage, asserting that there must have been a problem on the Emperor’s side, causing the miscarriage due to an unsatisfied pregnancy...

Splutter!—

Su Pan’er spat out a mouthful of water and choked endlessly, hardly believing her ears.

When she finally caught her breath, she quickly had someone fetch Jiu Lan, "Go find out where this news originated."

"Yes, Your Highness," Jiu Lan took her leave.

"Wait!" Before Jiu Lan could depart, Su Pan’er hurriedly stopped her, "Remember to investigate secretly, send an unfamiliar palace maid to snoop around, and make sure no one notices."

"Yes," Jiu Lan complied.

"Wait!" Su Pan’er stopped her again. After pondering for a moment, she changed her mind, "You go personally instead! Pretend to investigate in secret, it’s best if others notice. Also, bring me a copy of that prescription. Go now!"

"Yes, Empress," Jiu Lan responded, but she tarried instead of leaving at once.

"Still not going?" Su Pan’er raised an eyebrow.

Only then did Jiu Lan hurry away.

Propped up on her bedding, Su Pan’er watched the little Yanyan and Little Sugar Bean playing together outside, the sounds of their frolicsome play continually carrying in from outside.

Today was the Ninth of September Double Ninth Festival. Early this morning, countless legitimate sons and daughters of official families had entered the palace with their parents to attend the Flower Appreciation Banquet.

Accompanying the two princesses, apart from Qin Shuang’er, there were several daughters of high-ranking ministers, including the legitimate daughter of Master Gu, the Minister of the Six Departments.

Little Sugar Bean was growing day by day, and was becoming increasingly cheerful. However, Little Yanyan had changed a lot compared to before.

After the tragic death of the crested myna Luo Luo last time, Little Yanyan had several nights of poor sleep. Later, when Su Ke got the news, he found a similar crested myna to bring to the palace, but it was gently declined by Little Yanyan.

"Little Uncle, this crested myna looks like Luo Luo and can mimic speech, but no matter how similar it is, it ultimately isn’t my Luo Luo," Little Yanyan said earnestly, eyes filled with loneliness, "My Luo Luo is gone, and no other crested myna can replace it. I only want my Luo Luo, not any other."

Her words left Su Ke at a loss for words.

He had no choice but to carry the crested myna out of the palace as awkwardly as he had brought it in.

Today the weather was remarkably clear, with high, white clouds in the sky and a gentle breeze wafting through the air, causing the profusion of flowers in the garden to bloom in a riot of color and form.

Yet at this moment, Su Pan’er didn’t have the spirit to enjoy the beautiful scenery before her.

Even the incessant chatter of Mrs. Su-Hua failed to reach her ears, as she sat there in body but her mind wandered off to some far place.

"What are you daydreaming about? If that matter is true, you must plan ahead. You can’t let others get the jump on you," Mrs. Su-Hua said gravely, holding her hand and offering gentle consolation.

"What jumping the gun?" Su Pan’er heard a few words and immediately asked.

"It’s naturally about..."

Mrs. Su-Hua suddenly stopped speaking and looked around, keeping silent. Su Pan’er understood Mrs. Su-Hua’s implication and signaled everyone to leave.

"You all may leave."

Once the attendants had all left, Mrs. Su-Hua hurriedly sat down beside her, "My child, how healthy you used to be! Plump and hale! Now look at how thin you’ve become. Ah, I fear even Fei’er wouldn’t recognize you now, huh?"

Why would she suddenly bring up Fei’er?

Su Pan’er remembered the chestnut cake that Qin Feimo had recently sent through a messenger, deliciously lingering on the palate, but she wondered how he was faring now?

"Mother, what precisely is it that you’re trying to say?"

"Isn’t it just for your own good, alas! Look at all this, what a mess," Mrs. Su-Hua sighed, then went on to prattle about the country folks who adopted sons to support them in their old age, or those who took the children of their siblings to raise and educate themselves, and so on and so forth...

"Mother heard that recently, a Secondary Consort of Prince Qi gave birth to an extraordinary baby, just celebrated his one-month anniversary, and he’s as cute as can be with his robust appearance..." Mrs. Su-Hua was still waxing lyrical beside her, yet Su Pan’er’s heart gradually sank.

She interrupted Mrs. Su-Hua, "Mother, how did you come by these details? And who told you to say all this?"
