Chapter 1080: Chapter 1074: Only Female Doctors Can Have Children

He took a deep breath and said to the Empress, "Mother, do not be anxious. Childbearing is a matter of fate. Previously, when I was providing disaster relief in the afflicted area, I encountered an old beggar. Before the flood, he made his living by telling fortunes, and was reputed to be quite accurate. Out of curiosity, I had him cast a divination for me."

"What did he say?" The Empress stared at King Jin as if he was a lifeline.

Fortune-telling sounded absurd, but given the circumstances, she was willing to listen to anything absurd if it meant her son could be capable of having children.

King Jin let out a sigh of relief and said with a faint smile, "That old beggar said that the mother of my firstborn son must be a female doctor, and that I wouldn’t have the fortune of children until before my eldest son is born. At first, I thought he was spouting nonsensical drivel, but now it seems there might be some truth to it."

"A female doctor?" The Empress was taken aback for a moment before her voice grew shrill.

Now, the very word ’doctor’ set her off, since her royal son had just claimed the mother of his eldest child would be a female doctor?

A sudden shock ran through the Empress’s heart, "Xiaoran, you better not tell me you have taken a fancy to Gu Youyou."

Isn’t Gu Youyou a female doctor? And wasn’t it just this morning that Gu Youyou had infuriated her, which is why she got angered the moment she heard the word ’doctor’?

"I would rather you remain childless than take a fancy to Gu Youyou," the Empress said with animated agitation, rising to her feet abruptly.

What kind of woman would that be? If it were her, wouldn’t she die of rage?

"Mother, what are you thinking about?" King Jin sighed helplessly, "They said a female doctor, not necessarily Gu Youyou. There are other female doctors in the world apart from Gu Youyou!"

The Empress’s thoughts spun, and then struck by an idea, she said excitedly, "Right, the Cui Family’s daughter, the niece of Dr. Cui, Cui Yingying who is always with Jin Liuying. Her family background is not bad, but... she is too young, it won’t do; you can’t wait for her to grow up."

King Jin felt his heart rise and fall as he listened to the Empress’s words, like riding a roller coaster.

He had his own considerations, who would want to marry such a young girl, not yet mature?

He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to bring Searcy into his home. He had thought it over; since he had that particular issue, it definitely wouldn’t do to have outsiders look at it; he didn’t want such a matter to become public knowledge throughout the city.

But it would be different with Searcy; he trusted her and believed in her medical skills. If she could cure him, then let it follow naturally that she would bear his firstborn son. No one could have any objections.

Fortunately, the Empress was impatient and didn’t suggest waiting for that young girl to grow up and then marrying her off to him.

The Empress continued to rack her brains trying to find a suitable match for King Jin among the official families. There were no shortages of women who could read and write, but finding one with medical skills turned out to be quite difficult after much thought.

It seemed that only the Cui Family had female practitioners, but the Cui Family had no unmarried daughters left, the eldest being Cui Yingying. What to do in such a case?

Should she send someone to inquire in other provinces to see if there are suitable candidates?

The Empress said, "For now, go back. Do not tell anyone about this. I will find you a woman of good family who is also skilled in the medical arts."

King Jin reminded her, "She must be a legitimate doctor, just any woman with a bit of medical knowledge won’t do. Mother, be careful not to be deceived by someone."

"I have my own judgment," the Empress replied irritably. Could someone like her be easily deceived?

Seeing that the Empress was truly not taking the bait, King Jin had to remind her.

"If we are speaking of women with excellent medical skills, that would be Jisheng Hall. Mother, why not consider a female doctor from Jisheng Hall?"
