Chapter 453: She, Cannot Give Birth!_1
The silence in the hall was so profound that Consort Yu suddenly dared not speak up for Princess Linghe. Meanwhile, the Prince and Princess of Pingjun, both kneeling with their heads bowed low, touched the ground and felt a gripping urgency inside.
What is Consort Yu doing? Speak up!
Thinking about how she had become the Imperial Consort, the Pingjun Prince’s Mansion had also put forth considerable effort, and if Princess Linghe could truly marry Xiao Changyi, her position as the Imperial Consort would be even more secure, she and the Pingjun Prince’s Mansion were, after all, close relatives. Shared glory would benefit all. With this in mind, Consort Yu finally gathered her courage and said, "Emperor, in the past, did you not favor Linghe greatly? Surely, you would not wish for her to leave like this."
As she spoke, Consort Yu began to lament with sorrowful tones, "That child as well. Knowing that the King of Eternal Victory already had a wife, she still remained hopelessly infatuated with him. Such devotion is rare. The last time she visited me in the palace, she looked so haggard, as if... As I watched her, my heart too felt unbearably heavy."
The Emperor of Xiyun remained silent, his aged face still expressionless.
An Jing finally spoke up in what appeared to be a kind manner to Consort Yu, "Your Highness, if your heart is so troubled, it’s better to have the Imperial Physician have a look. It would be unfortunate if you fell ill as well."
Consort Yu’s fingers twisted the brocade handkerchief hidden under the table tightly, but on the surface, she smiled and said, "The Princess is so concerned about me, I am truly moved. However, the Imperial Physician has already seen me yesterday, and I am in no discomfort. Yet, I am genuinely worried about your health, Princess. Perhaps you should let the Imperial Physician examine you. Their medical skills are excellent; it’s said they might cure the Princess’s infertility."
Here, infertility was a curse with no cure; no one could heal it. Consort Yu’s words were not out of concern for An Jing but a declaration to everyone present that she could not bear children.
An Jing did not get angry; instead, she laughed.
The Changsheng Princess cannot have children?!
