Unbridled Medical Expert Consort: Demon Prince, Be Good Chapter 53 part2

Chapter 53b: What's on Empress Wang's Mind

"Are you talking about Wan'Er?"
Empress Wang looked a slightly blanked out then smiled and continued. "No. Qing Luan, you guessed incorrectly. I'm not talking about Wan'Er, but rather, my own birth daughter, Princess Mingyi. Sigh……it's too bad that I don't have this good fortune. She already passed away."
Hearing the grief and longing in her voice, Luo Qing Luan quickly responded, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, it's a temporary slip of the tongue. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
Only now did she grasp the situation. As it turned out, Empress Wang longed for her daughter, that's why she attached her feelings to her? However, could it be that besides this princess, Empress Wang had not other children? Otherwise, why would she be so alone and lonely, and wanted her company no matter what?
"There's no harm. I don't blame you. It's also because I like you that I treat you like my own daughter who passed away. Otherwise, I also wouldn't go as far as……" Empress Wang shook her head while the tone of her voice became slightly emotional.
"Since the princess has already passed away, then Your Highness can birth a few more little princesses and princes, right?" Luo Qing Luan spoke, but the words barely left her mouth before she noticed the gloominess that flashed in the back of Empress Wang's eyes. She suddenly felt that something's wrong and was afraid that she misspoke again.
Sure enough, Empress Wang was silent for a long while before she smiled with difficulty. "Forget it. There are some things that can not be insisted upon. I've already come to accept it, it's nothing."
Once she heard these words, Luo Qing Luan was certain that very likely, Empress Wang could no longer give birth!
As an empress, yet having no way of producing her own flesh and blood, as far as a woman was concerned, this was indeed the most cruel, especially for a woman belonging to the inner palace. Even if she was an empress, if she did not have a child, once the emperor died, the outcome awaiting her was ten times more miserable than an ordinary woman. If she wasn't sent to the imperial shrine to pray and hold a vigil for the rest of her life, then she might be buried along with the emperor at the imperial tomb, better off dead than alive. No matter which outcome, it was not what she wished for. Don't be deceived by her current impressive standing as an empress. Very likely, she was inwardly concerned all the same about her future fate. Otherwise, how could she be so worried?
In the end, it was her identity as a physician that made Luo Qing Luan somewhat softhearted. Empress Wang was also pretty good to her, and she didn't want to see Empress Wang depressed while pretending to look happy. No longer able to hold back, she took Empress Wang's hand and consoled her with some words while seizing the opportunity to feel her pulse. She now understood what's going on with Empress Wang's body.
"Your Highness, actually……" She was able to figure out the condition of Empress Wang's health very quickly. Having learned what's going on, Luo Qing Luan continued, "If you would like to have another princess, or maybe prince, that's not impossible."
"Qing Luan, what did you say?" Empress Wang was shocked, and quite astonished.
Having already made the decision to help her, as long as Empress Wang was willing to go along, Luo Qing Luan nodded her head and replied resolutely, "I said, Your Highness, I know what you would like. If I tell you that I have a way of making your wish come true, I wonder if Your Highness is willing?"
Having heard these words as clear as day, Empress Wang couldn't help but be overjoyed at this unexpected good news and quickly replied, "Of course I'm willing, but my health……" The words slipped out from her heart under a state of insane happiness, but then she started to hesitate.
It's not that she was unwilling. Rather, the person before her was merely a young girl. Not to mention giving birth, she wasn't even married. Even if she'd studied some medicine, how could she be capable of treating her illness? Even the imperial physicians had already examined her and were helpless to do anything. They could only use technical jargon to go through the motions. How could it be possible for Luo Qing Luan to have a solution?
"Forget it, Qing Luan, I know that you're full of good intentions, but this matter of having a child is certainly not something that one can achieve just by wanting it." Convinced of this, Empress Wang's enthusiasm faded as she said indifferently, "Don't tell others what we spoke about today. I'm a bit tired now, you should return."
Seeing that Empress Wang wanted to leave, Luo Qing Luan refused to accept it. If she didn't want to treat someone, she wouldn't budge even if offered ten thousand pieces of gold. Yet once she wanted to provide treatment for someone, even if the disease was beyond cure, she would still forcibly pull that person back from the gates of hell!
"Your Highness has misunderstood. The person examining your health won't be me. Rather, it's my teacher." Knowing that Empress Wang didn't believe her because of her age, Luo Qing Luan also didn't feel like wasting time arguing needlessly. She directly fabricated an even more brilliant master and all issues would be settled.
"Huh, your teacher?" Once Empress Wang heard this, she was indeed moved, as her beautiful eyes shined. "Qing Luan, you have a teacher? Is he the one who taught you your medical skills?"
Things having reached this stage, even if there wasn't one, she'd still make one appear. Furthermore, Luo Qing Luan's way of thinking wasn't as simple as merely helping Empress Wang have a child. Previously, she didn't know why Empress Wang was so obsessed with helping find a crown prince consort. After hearing the reason just now, she was finally able to guess some things.
Nangong Qing was the crown prince, but he was in fact the son of the deceased ex-empress, while the current empress was actually childless. It was obvious that Nangong Qing was merely raised under her name. That's only to be expected. But if Empress Wang was able to have her own child, especially when there was hope under this special situation, then she certainly wouldn't be so obsessed with choosing a crown prince consort.
Exactly! Everyone had some selfishness. If Empress Wang was able to have her own child, why would she still fixate all day long on Luo Qing Luan, making her the crown prince consort?
It would be more like she couldn't shower enough attention on the child in her belly.
Moreover, even if Empress Wang maintained her original position and still was fond of Luo Qing Luan, Empress Wang would now owe her a favor. It'd be easier for her to find grounds for refusing, likely without making Empress Wang displeased with her. No matter what, Luo Qing Luan already set her mind on it, she must make Empress Wang's wish come true.
