The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 174 Jingshu is infertile

The old lady has been feeling angry and sad since she learned about Bitangju. Seeing her grandson seeking death and survival again and again, the old lady was so sad that she couldn't even get sick.

On this day, Jing Shu and Xu Wanning had been watching over An Xi Hall.

The old lady fell into a coma until midnight and woke up. She opened her eyes and saw her two grandsons standing guard by the bed. The old lady took the hand of her eldest grandson and said weakly: "You are all causing trouble like this because you are my grandson who failed to live up to expectations."

It's his fault, and grandma doesn't ask you to forgive him. She just hopes that you will take good care of him for the sake of your child."

Xu Wanning comforted the old lady and said: "I have moved him back to the main hall. As the saying goes, a husband and wife will be kind to each other for a hundred days, and I will not leave him alone."

When the old lady heard what her eldest grandson said, she was pleased and said, "Grandma has been suffering from this for a long time. She always gets sick twice in the winter. You don't have to worry, just go and rest."

The two of them took the medicine for the old lady. After a while, they saw that the old lady fell asleep again. After all, they were worried and just leaned on the couch outside to rest.

Jing Shu asked Xu Wanning: "What you just said to your grandmother was not just to comfort her, right?"

Xu Wanning replied: "Seeing him become so ill, to be honest, the resentment in my heart has dissipated a lot. He is in such a state. What's the point of me and him being angry anymore? Let's see my grandmother and children like this.

I feel uncomfortable caring about him so much. With a person like him here, even if I am paralyzed in bed forever, as long as I see the old and the young feel at ease, I will not care about anything else."

Jing Shu persuaded: "In short, even if you can't count on your eldest brother, you still have children, so there is always hope."

Speaking of the child, Xu Wanning couldn't help but ask Jingshu: "You've been taking the medicine prescribed by Dr. Zhang for a while, and there's still no movement?"

There were only two of them in the room, and Jingshu didn't hide it. She sighed and said, "I don't know why, but I haven't been able to get pregnant. I'm also worried."

Xu Wanning comforted: "You are still young, so there is no need to be too impatient."

Having said that, it has been almost two years since she married into the Zhenguo Duke's mansion. Jingshu has a clear mind. Even though the old lady and mother-in-law have never asked about this matter, in such a prominent family, Li Ling is the eldest son, and the old man

I'm not sure what to expect.

Moreover, Li Ling has been treating her wholeheartedly since he married her. He has not accepted any concubines, and even outside he is staring at her belly. Jingshu has a strong nature, so naturally she hopes to flourish her husband's family as soon as possible.

That's good.

After listening to Xu Wanning's words, Jing Shu murmured: "I was still thinking about one day when I had some free time, I would go to a medical clinic outside to find a doctor who specializes in gynecology. Although Dr. Zhang is a master of the Taiyuan Hospital, he still prescribes

Those medicines always seem to have no potency when I take them."

Xu Wanning replied: "The medical skills of the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital are naturally very good, but they only treat the nobles in the palace. They are afraid of making a mistake, and the medicines they prescribe are always painless and not itchy.

This time, when grandma is sick, she has invited a doctor from outside. Tomorrow, the doctor will come over to take grandma’s pulse, just in time for him to take it for you, and then ask him to prescribe a prescription for you to try.”

Jingshu said yes.

The two sisters were leaning on the couch, paying attention to the movements of the old lady inside, and whispering in low voices. Unknowingly, they stayed there all night again.

On the second day, the two fed the old lady breakfast. After the doctor came to check the old lady's pulse, Xu Wanning invited the doctor outside and asked him to take Jingshu's pulse.

This doctor was also a sage in the capital. He carefully checked Jingshu's pulse, but the look on his face gradually became serious.

Jing Shu glanced at the doctor's expression and asked worriedly: "May I ask the doctor, how am I doing?"

Xu Wanning also asked anxiously: "It's been almost two years since our wife passed away and she hasn't gotten pregnant yet, but is there any way to replenish her health?"

The doctor took his pulse and said doubtfully: "Judging from Madam's pulse, you have accumulated coldness in your body, which may make it extremely difficult to conceive."

This short sentence struck Jing Shu like a thunderbolt.

Xu Wanning was also shocked: "How could this happen? Are my siblings born with such a physique? Is there any way to improve it?"

Aunt Xu on the side also had a face full of anxiety. The eldest grandson of the eldest daughter-in-law is now like this, and the grandson-in-law of the second eldest daughter-in-law is having trouble conceiving. How can the old lady at her age bear such many blows?

She said anxiously: "Doctor, do you think there is any way to make our wife pregnant? We can pay as much as we want."

The doctor twirled his beard and said: "Madam's constitution is really special. I have never encountered this before in all my years of practicing medicine. I can't diagnose whether Madam is born with such a cold constitution or whether she suffers from it acquired. Naturally, I can't prescribe a prescription for Madam."

.”

He said slightly apologetically: "My medical skills are limited, so please ask an expert to show my wife."

Jing Shu didn't know how she got back to Qingfeng Garden. Xu Wanning and Aunt Xu had been trying to persuade her, but she didn't hear a word of it.

She retreated from everyone and sat alone on the bed, recalling all the abnormal behaviors of Li Ling since the last time Dr. Zhang took his pulse, and she understood.

It wasn't that this doctor saw her problem. The imperial doctor Zhang also knew about it early on. It was just that Li Ling kept it secret from her.

It can be seen that her problem may not be cured. If it could be cured, Li Ling would not go to great lengths to lie to her and hide it from her.

despair.

Jingshu felt the meaning of this word for the first time.

She huddled herself in the quilt and let her tears pour down.

When she was desperately crying under the quilt, a pair of strong arms wrapped around her and held her tightly in his arms.

Li Ling stroked her hair and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Jing Shu was exhausted from crying. She was buried deep in Li Ling's arms and could not say a word.

Li Ling hugged her tightly for a long time and repeated the same sentence: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

His solid embrace finally allowed her to regain some strength. Jingshu raised her head, looked at Li Ling and asked, "You already knew that, didn't you?"

Li Ling didn't answer her. He leaned over and kissed her eyes that were red and swollen from crying. He gently comforted her and said, "It's not a big deal. Don't do this."

In this world where "there are three types of unfilial piety, the worst is not having children", if a woman is unable to have children, she will not be tolerated even in an ordinary family, not to mention such a high-ranking family, not to mention her husband who shoulders the responsibilities of the clan.

Crown Prince.

Jingshu lowered her head and wiped away her tears: "I can't give birth to a child for you, what should I do?"

Li Ling hugged her tightly in his arms and replied: "If you can't have a baby, let's just not have children. Don't worry, I will protect you. Don't be afraid as long as I am here."
