Chapter 1080 - 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!"
