Musu quickly carried the box and walked over with a low eyebrow, "Please extend your hand, please."
Yan Rui stretched out her hand and Musu carefully diagnosed her pulse. The room was extremely quiet.
After repeated diagnosis several times, Musu wrote a prescription and handed it to the eunuch next to him, "Go and get the medicine, brew it up, and give it to the empress."
"I haven't been able to sleep well these days, and my stomach hurts from time to time. Is there something wrong with the child?" Yan Rui asked uneasily.
Musu's expression finally changed a little, "It's best for the queen to let the adults come into the palace. The situation is indeed not good."
Yan Rui still wanted to ask in detail, but Musu was unwilling to say more. Yan Rui was already very emotionally unstable due to her pregnancy, and she was afraid that if she was irritated, something would happen, which would be really troublesome.
She didn't tell Yan Rui that she had no choice but to send someone to announce Yan Chu's entry into the palace.
Yan Chu soon arrived with several cans of side dishes. The explanation to the outside world and the emperor was that Concubine Yan had a bad appetite and wanted to eat the side dishes at home, and he was here to deliver the dishes.
As soon as he entered the palace, Lin Zheng and the people from the Queen's side stared at him.
It's a pity that many sides of Yan Rui's side have been purged, and now they are basically connected to each other, and their people can hardly get in.
As soon as Yan Chu entered the door, Yan Rui called out aggrievedly, "Brother."
Yan Chu looked at her carefully. Her body was swollen and her face was pale. Even if he didn't know medical skills, he could tell that her condition was not good.
"How do you feel?" Yan Chu lowered his voice and asked gently.
"I couldn't sleep well at night, my feet always cramped, and my stomach often hurt." Yan Rui's eyes turned red. It was so painful to be pregnant with this child.
"Let Musu come over," Yan Chu said.
Musu came quickly, still looking expressionless, "I've met the family."
"How is the child's condition?" Yan Chu asked.
Musu told the truth, "My wife and the head of the family should make preparations in advance. This child is very likely to die in the womb, and it is basically impossible for him to grow up healthily and be born."
"No! That won't happen!"
Yan Rui clutched her stomach and screamed in horror, "It can't be like this, you're talking nonsense."
Musu took a step back and stood silently in the corner.
Yan Chu quickly comforted him, "Calm down, don't be afraid, I won't let anything happen to you."
Yan Rui sobbed softly and became quiet.
"How could this happen?" Yan Chu asked.
Musu explained softly, "This child was forcibly conceived with drugs. I told you at the time that it would be very harmful to my body, and the chance of success was only half."
"Your Majesty is too weak, and the child has also been affected."
Yan Chu pondered for a long time, "How long can I keep the child?"
"About five months at most. The situation is no longer good now." Musu arrived.
Yan Chu looked at her coldly, "I don't care what method you use, you must ensure that the child stays in your belly for eight months."
"Even if it's a stillbirth?" Musu's heart felt cold.
"right…"
"I understand." Musu lowered his head and did not mention that doing this would cause great harm to the mother's body.
Yan Chu is so smart, how could he not know.
"Go down." Yan Chu said.
Musu withdrew, leaving only the brother and sister in the room. Yanrui was so frightened that she held his hand and begged, "Brother, can you please stop doing this? I don't want to die..."
The thought of carrying a mass of dead flesh and blood in her belly was terrifying. Yan Rui was afraid that she would have nightmares every night and could not sleep peacefully.
"Rui'er, be obedient and hold on. After eight months, even a child born prematurely can survive." Yan Chu comforted him.
Most babies born at eight months will survive.
"But this will give birth to a stillborn fetus..." Yan Rui said desperately, she didn't understand the meaning of Yan Chu's doing this.
Yan Chu gently wiped away her tears and coaxed softly, "As long as you persist until eight months, you will definitely have a healthy prince. You have to believe in brother."
Yan Chu's expression was too determined. Yan Rui quickly realized what Yan Chu meant. Her eyes widened and she lowered her voice, "Brother, do you want the civet cat to trade for the prince?"
"Ruier, please help brother this time. Whatever you want from now on, brother will give it to you." Yan Chu promised.
Yan Rui was silent for a while, "Really?"
"real."
Two lines of clear tears flowed down her cheeks. Yan Rui closed her eyes and said, "Okay, I will listen to my brother."
She knew in her heart that she had no right to choose at all. After reaching this point, there was no turning back. Yan Chu was not a good person, and he would not be merciful to her just because she was a younger sister. She could only be obedient.
She touched her belly desperately, "I don't want to get pregnant and have children in the future."
"You only need this child, and you will be pampered for the rest of your life." Yan Chu comforted her in a low voice.
Yan Chu patiently coaxed her to sleep, then went to see Musu and told her to use all means to ensure that the child would stay in her belly for eight months before leaving the palace.
As soon as he returned to Yan Mansion, he immediately convened a meeting in the study room to discuss matters.
He told the child's situation, "What do you think?"
"This child was obtained through a lot of hard work. We can't let it go like this. The emperor's physical condition may not lead to a second child even if he is forced to take medication."
This kind of tiger and wolf medicine is very harmful to the body, so they put it in the elixir and gave it to the emperor.
"All we need is a nominally emperor's child, it doesn't matter whether he's a prostitute or not."
Anyway, this child is destined to be just a puppet, a pawn in the fight for the throne. It doesn't matter whether he is true or false, as long as the emperor thinks he is true.
After listening to everyone's opinions, Yan Chu directly ordered his confidants, "Zhang Yuan, you immediately set off back to Yulin, secretly collect pregnant women who are about three months old, and then secretly send them back to Beijing. You must be very careful not to be discovered."
"Yes, head of the family." Zhang Yuan responded.
Obviously, no matter what Yan Rui gives birth to, she will definitely get a healthy little prince.
"Isn't this too risky?" a staff member worried.
Yan Chu sighed, "We have no more choices."
Although the emperor is useless and has been abolished, there are still ministers in the court to support him. In addition, the various forces in Shengjing are very complicated and intertwined, so it is not possible for him to do whatever he wants.
He can only take this route and slowly rise to the top.
These aristocratic families in the capital have developed here for many years and help each other. The Yan family's headquarters is in Yulin, not here. He does not dare to confront anyone head-on.
The most important thing is that King Luo was born. Even if the emperor dies, these old foxes will simply accept his win over and will not put their treasure on him.
Yan Chu only regretted that he didn't take action earlier and directly killed Zhennan Prince's Mansion and Fu Jingchao.
Now he can only take a gamble. If he has a prince, then the prince can have an orthodox name and he will have more room for maneuver.
The Yan family has been in business for many years, but without military power and a large army, they can only be controlled by others.
