Yan Xijun was still bathing when Yan Wuxin directly rushed in.

  She sat in the wooden bucket, a hint of embarrassment and shyness flashing across her face, then she expressionlessly stared at this noble woman, who was actually her sister, yet only did things that took advantage of her.

  When Yan Wuxin burst in, a pair of phoenix eyes narrowed and stared at the exposed skin of Yan Xixi, on which the white and smooth skin was dotted with scars that pained her eyes. As someone who had been through similar experiences, she naturally knew where these scars came from.

  Hes really indulgent! Seeing her husband leave ambiguous marks on another woman, even if it was her own sister, even if she had deliberately arranged this play, at this moment she couldnt help but feel a little unacceptable, and she couldnt control the jealousy and heartache that was slowly emerging in her heart.

  Yan closed her eyes in pain and clenched her fists around the sleeves that hung down, forcing herself to calm down.

  Whats wrong, cant take it? Yan Xijun sat quietly in the bathtub, looking at her sister with closed eyes. Many times, she didnt dare to look directly at her sister, because she had a pair of sharp and piercing eyes that could penetrate into ones internal organs, making people feel terrified and suffocated.

  She had never been able to see through her sister, nor guess what she would think, but she could feel that her sister loved the emperor very much. Unfortunately, emperors were all heartless and ungrateful, always having intentions like fallen flowers and being ruthless like flowing water.

  Whats wrong with me? Calm down, calm down! Yan Wuxin thought to herself, hadnt she already given up on him? Since she couldnt get his favor, she might as well keep her own position. Anyway, she could still enjoy the great wealth and glory, and there was plenty of time left, enough for her to win back his heart.

  Yan Wu Xin slowly regained her composure, opened her eyes, and a sharp light shot out from her phoenix-like eyes as she looked at the beauty in the bathtub: "Fourth Sister!"

  "Dont call me Fourth Sister, youre not worthy of being my sister, why are you trying to harm me?"

  Facing Yan Xijuns indignant questioning, Yan Wuxin shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and said calmly: "This palace has not harmed you."

  "Last night... last night why did you drug me!" Yan Xijun was furious, her beautiful eyes seemed to be spewing out flames.

  "If not, would you obediently serve in bed?"

  "Hmph, from start to finish, youve been designing for me to attend to your bed, what is your purpose?" Yan Xikun looked at Yan Wuxin with a stubborn gaze, she already had some understanding of her intentions.

  Yan Wu Xin waved her hand to let all the palace maids retreat, and after everyone had left, she walked up to Yan Xi Juns face, gazing at her, saying word by word: "This palace wants a child."

  "Child?" Yan Xijun was slightly stunned, his eyes dazed and looking up at her: "Cant you have one yourself?"

  "If I could bear children, I wouldnt have looked for you to bear them." Yan Wuxin said sorrowfully, his young face revealing deep desolation and a kind of inexpressible sadness.

  Every married woman hopes to have several children and live a happy life with her husband.

  Yan Wu Xin didnt even know herself when she had lost the ability to bear children, completely losing her reproductive capacity. In todays country, having no descendants is a big deal, and being infertile is equivalent to being a useless person; the husbands family can completely divorce her.

  As the empress and mother of the nation, if she cannot give birth to a dragon son or daughter, her position will be precarious in the future, so severe that it may not be guaranteed that she will not be directly demoted.

  "Sister, you...?" Yan Xijun was extremely shocked as she stared at her sister. How could this be? Why would her sister not have children? She must be intentionally making it up to gain sympathy from her.

  "I didnt deceive you, this is true. If I were capable of childbearing, why would it be that after marrying the Emperor for eleven years, until now I havent given birth to a single imperial son?"

  Yan Wu Xin said with a hint of helplessness, "Ive been married to him for so long, but I havent borne him a single child, not even a son or a daughter. Thinking about this makes me feel somewhat regretful."

  Yan Xijun only then thought of it, yes, her sister was married to Chu Yixuan, who was then the King of Ning, when she was five years old, and all these years she had not given birth, this matter is very suspicious, could it be that her sister really did not have fertility?

  At this time, Yan Xijun actually felt a bit sympathetic towards her sister. She had already put the previous incident behind her and was ready to forgive her sister.

  "Fourth sister, so you have to help me, hurry up and give birth to a prince, then adopt the prince to me. As long as I have a son, no one can shake my position!"

  "Hmph, so it turns out that sisters words were all about protecting her own position, how selfish! Yan Xijuns lips curled up in understanding, and the little bit of sympathy and pity she had just felt for her disappeared without a trace."

  "Fourth sister!" Yan Wuxin saw that her words had no effect on Yan Xijun, and seeing her lost in thought, she became somewhat annoyed.

  "Even if you want to help your sister, Im afraid its too late now."

  Yan Xijun picked up a petal from the water, looked at the delicate and vibrant flower petal, and slowly said: "Sister, do you know? Just now, the emperor sent someone to give me a special medicinal soup, which is actually a contraceptive medicine."

  Yan Xijun raised her eyes and looked at Yan Wuxin, wanting to see a disappointed expression on her face, but what she saw was that she rarely smiled with narrowed eyes.

  Yan Xijuns eyes widened slightly as she muttered: "I drank that medicine!"

  Yan Wuxin smiled slyly: "Hehe, its okay if you drink it too!"

  "What... what do you mean?"

  "This palace has its own way of doing things, and without a 100% guarantee, I absolutely wont do it." Yan Wuxin was full of confidence in her abilities, if she really wanted to do something, no one could stop her.

  Yan Xijun guessed: "Your meaning is......? It cant be that theres something wrong with that bowl of medicine, right?"

  Yan Wuxin looked at Yan Xijun with a newfound respect for her intelligence and leadership abilities, smiling and nodding: "Not bad, that medicine indeed has problems, but its not an abortion drug, its a fetal nourishing decoction."

  "What did you say? Is that a nourishing soup for pregnancy?" Yan Xijun saw her sister nod, and suddenly she was stunned, looking very downcast.

  She didnt want to serve in bed in the first place, but was designed by her sister, and finally served in bed, but she never wanted to get pregnant with that mans child.

  "Fourth sister, lets get straight to the point. Ive gone to great lengths to have you serve me in bed, and its all so that you can conceive a dragon son as soon as possible. Once you give birth to an imperial son, both of us can rest easy."

  "This month, be honest with me, no matter what happens, dont think about those unnecessary thoughts."

  "If we are blessed by the Buddha, its a great fortune that youre pregnant with the emperors child. You dont need to worry or be anxious, Ill take care of everything and ensure your safety." Yan Wuxin saw that her fourth sister looked dazed, guessing that she was shocked by her own words and couldnt accept this matter for the time being. She smiled and said: "Fourth sister, I wont disturb you anymore, rest well!"

  Yan Wuxin finished speaking and swaggered out, taking her group of palace maids with her.

  Yan Xijun gazed at their departing figures, her small hand flung out in anger, sending a splash of water high into the air. She was already filled with resentment towards her sister.

  Yan Xijun secretly paid: Its infuriating, her sister is too deceitful. She will never let her sister succeed and must think of a way to counterattack. She absolutely wont allow herself to become pregnant with his child.
