In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 1113 - 1017: Born?

Chapter 1113: Chapter 1017: Born?

She knew in her heart what had to be accepted, but it was impossible for Su Pan’er to actually accept it!

Since these two children were in her belly, even if it meant risking her life, she would see them born safely.

Outside, an eerie silence prevailed.

If not for the heavy breathing coming from outside, Su Pan’er might have doubted that there was anyone there at all.

She wanted to shout, but she couldn’t wake from her stupor.

Outside, Qin Yi’s hands clenched into fists, then trembled as they opened, gripping tightly to the armrests of his chair. Veins bulging on his face, he remained silent for a long time.

The kneeling Imperial Physicians and Court Ladies and Internal Attendants didn’t even dare to breathe loudly as they waited quietly for His Majesty to make a decision.

After a while, Qin Yi finally moved his lips.

"This child..."

His throat was especially hoarse, his voice so deep it hardly seemed his own. After a long pause, he sighed deeply, "Is there really no other way? Is there truly only one path forward?"

They were his children!

Yet now he was being forced to decide their fate, to control their chance of coming into this world. How cruelly the heavens dealt with people!

Imperial Physician Wang glanced around; the other Imperial Physicians lay prostrate on the ground, feigning death.

He inwardly sighed countless times, having mentally cursed the ancestors of these cowardly turtles several dozens of times, before he finally spoke up, "Your Majesty, if we do not terminate the pregnancy, there is at most a fifteen percent chance of a safe childbirth."

To say there was a fifteen percent chance was already optimistic. The fear was that before the pregnancy was even at term, it would end in three lives lost.

Qin Yi furrowed his brows deeply, wishing he could lay waste to a few people, "The probability is that low?"

"To say fifteen percent, is to have already said quite a bit..."

Imperial Physician Wang simply didn’t know what else to say.

Although His Majesty had two princesses, he had yet to have a Prince by his side. This was the Empress’s pregnancy—if a Prince was safely born, the significance was undeniable.

But the success rate was just too low, they dared not gamble!

They could only take the risk of bearing the crime of harming the royal heir by speaking the truth.

"Give us a few days to consider," Qin Yi said, changing from his usual domineering way on state affairs, struggling to procrastinate.

The Imperial Physicians also breathed a sigh of relief and, with united gratitude, withdrew.

Before leaving, Imperial Physician Wang held back but still couldn’t resist saying, "Please consider carefully, Your Majesty. But it would be best not to delay more than ten days. Once the child takes shape, the level of harm to the Empress’s Phoenix Body from the abortion will also increase exponentially."

Qin Yi was so angered by his words that he grabbed the inkstone beside him and flung it at him.

"Too much talk, get out!"

"I’m going, I’m going right now..."

Imperial Physician Wang dodged and fled, not daring to stay another moment. His footsteps quickly faded away, and the surroundings gradually became quiet once more.

Qin Yi sat for quite some time before he got up and went in to keep Su Pan’er company.

As he approached the bed, he saw Su Pan’er’s eyelashes twitch slightly, and her eyes slowly opened.

Facing those clear eyes, Qin Yi could not hide the overwhelming sadness in his own. He quickly turned away to avoid her gaze, "You’re awake, it’s good you’ve woken up. Here, drink the medicine."

He extended a trembling hand to slowly lift the bowl containing the black, sticky decoction. Taking a spoon, he scooped up a spoonful and brought it gently to her lips.

Su Pan’er silently looked at the decoction in the bowl and didn’t open her mouth to speak, just quietly drank.

Not until the last drop of the decoction was gone did Qin Yi put the bowl aside. Rubbing against the edge of his dragon robe somewhat restrainedly, he asked, "You... know everything?" He dared not look into her eyes.

"Mm."

Su Pan’er silently nodded and gently leaned her head on his shoulder, staying silent.

"You also heard what the Imperial Physician said just now." This was not a question, but a statement.

"I heard it."

"Then..."

Qin Yi’s words choked up! The rims of his eyes suddenly reddened.

Yet, Su Pan’er lightly laughed, her demeanor breezy and playful as she winked, "Does His Majesty still remember, at that time even the miracle healer Old Xue told His Majesty to give up, thinking that this empress would not wake up. Later, he also advised that I terminate the pregnancy. If I hadn’t persisted, there would be no Little Sugar Bean now."

Remembering the persistence of those days that eventually brought her the treasure that was Little Sugar Bean, Su Pan’er felt that all the hardship she endured was worth it!

Unable to help himself, Qin Yi’s arms tightened, "Mhm, you’ve worked hard, Pan’er! Also, thank you, Little Sugar Bean is very well-behaved and adorable."

Thank you, if not for your persistence at the time, where would we have such a clever daughter as Little Sugar Bean?

"If I could safely give birth to Little Sugar Bean under such difficult circumstances back then, I am sure I can do it this time too!"

The light that shone from Su Pan’er’s eyes was so dazzling that it left one unable to utter a word of dissent.

"But, your body... and what the Imperial Physicians said..."

"I know my own body. I promise you, if it truly becomes unbearable, then we can talk about giving up. But let’s not deprive them of their lives just from the start, not take away their chance to come into this world. Okay? Okay?"

She tugged at his hand, constantly shaking it, looking at him with a face full of hope.

"But Imperial Physician Wang said..."

The words spoken by Imperial Physician Wang before he left echoed in Qin Yi’s ears, leaving him somewhat indecisive.

Only ten days left, just ten short days.

"Yi, I want to give birth to him!"

In Su Pan’er’s eyes was an earnestness never seen before as she grasped his large hand and gently placed it on her abdomen. But Qin Yi felt as if he’d been scalded, wanting to withdraw his hand, yet Su Pan’er stubbornly caught it and placed it back over her belly.

"I want to give birth to him, to another boy. Our own child, who will grow up to be just as radiant with courage and grandeur as you! Yi, you say it’s okay? Okay?"

The pleading words of a little woman, coming from her lips. The eyes that could speak volumes, brimming with glistening tears.

The words of refusal that Qin Yi simply couldn’t bring himself to say, as his hand, meant to be withdrawn, was held even more firmly by Su Pan’er.

"Okay? Yi! Our child..."

Those sparkling tear drops rolled incessantly within her eyes until finally, unable to hold back, they slipped down: "To give Little Yanyan and Little Sugar Bean another brother, one who will protect them. A boy who can also protect me. Okay?"

"Don’t cry, Pan’er, don’t cry. I promise you, I promise you everything... don’t cry! I can’t bear to see you cry..."

Those tears seemed to scald him in a way that caused Qin Yi to fumble as he embraced her tight.

Su Pan’er was filled with joy! She hugged him back tightly in return.

"Thank you, thank you! Thank you..."

Deep down, she couldn’t help feeling a bit smug; he had finally agreed!

Although she had used a little strategem, as long as the final outcome pleased her, she didn’t mind employing a bit more trickery.

But what she didn’t see was the worry that flickered through Qin Yi’s eyes as he held her tight.
