Bai Xianyu did not expect Gu Yu to appear here. Shouldn’t he be at the Great Xiangguo Temple now?
If it was Gu Yu… Her gaze fell on the jade bottle in his palm, and she frowned imperceptibly.
Empress Dowager said, “Divine physician Gu Yu is a miracle healer. If it’s really as you said, there may be a way to cure it.”
“Go on, take a look at Xianyu.”
Gu Yu reacted in a daze. The person Emperor Wu Xuan wanted to examine was actually Bai Xianyu.
He retracted his shock and took out a bottle. From it, he poured out an extremely small black magic worm. “Yes.”
Bai Xianyu was a little nervous, but her expression remained unchanged.
“Miss Bai, please drip a drop of blood on it. If this worm changes color, then there will be no problem. If it doesn’t change color, I’m afraid it will be difficult.”
She brought her finger to her mouth and bit it. She frowned and dripped the blood on the worm.
The three of them stared intently at this worm as it absorbed Bai Xianyu’s blood little by little in Gu Yu’s hand.
On the other side of the wall, Emperor Wu Xuan was calling someone over. “Go and check if Bai Xianyu has been going around seeking treatment. Let me know as soon as possible.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Fifteen minutes later, there was still no change in the black magic worm.
Empress Dowager and Gu Yu’s expressions changed slightly.
This meant that Bai Xianyu really could not bear children!
Bai Xianyu heaved a sigh of relief and squeezed out a few tears. “Empress Dowager, look…”
“What a good child…” The Empress Dowager looked at her with a complicated expression and sighed. “You look quite similar to an old friend of mine. 1 had wanted to find a good home for you.”
Bai Xianyu lowered her head and did not speak, looking very disappointed.
“Fortunately, you told me this and didn’t hide anything. If such a thing happens after you marry, I’m afraid your situation will be tough.” The Empress Dowager gradually accepted this matter. “It’s been hard on you. You may leave.”
Not only would she be in a tough situation, it would also affect the relationship between the two countries. Wouldn’t it be an outright provocation to send an imperial consort who couldn’t bear children?
“Yes.”
Gu Yu even poked his worm in shock. “No way…”
In that case, if Xie Xingyun was with Bai Xianyu in the future, wouldn’t he have no descendants?
The most unfilial thing was to produce no descendant. Xie Xingyun was the only descendant of his family.
His expression was serious. “Empress Dowager, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.”
“You may leave.”
He had to go back and flip through the medical books!
After Bai Xianyu came out, Green Pearl put a cloak on her worriedly. “Miss, are you alright?”
“I’m fine.” Bai Xianyu held her hand and got up the carriage, and the wheels rolled steadily.
When they arrived at the residence, Green Pearl asked, “Miss, is that medicine effective?”
Before Bai Xianyu entered the palace, she had gotten Green Pearl to brew a pot of medicine. The prescription in the brocade pouch had been written based on her memory. It was a medicine that could mess up pulses and confuse vision.
A single dose could last for a few days.
“It works.”
In her previous life, she had never been pregnant after marrying Xie Xingyun.
She wanted to give birth to a child for him, so she had tried all kinds of methods in the past few years, but to no avail.
It was precisely because of this that Bai Xianyu had read countless ancient medical books and taken countless medicines. It had been like this for a long period, so she remembered many prescriptions related to pregnancy.
Speaking of which, this prescription had been given by Gu Yu. Therefore, when she saw Gu Yu just now, she was a little flustered. Fortunately, Gu Yu did not know this prescription.
“That’s good. I saw physician Gu Yu enter the hall just now and was really worried.”
Bai Xianyu spoke much more easily and smiled faintly. “It’s all in the past.”
Before the two of them reached the courtyard, they saw Bai Jingyuan standing beside the pear blossom tree. His beautiful robe accentuated his tall figure.
When he saw Bai Xianyu, his furrowed brows slowly relaxed.
“You’re back.”
Bai Xianyu smiled. “Yes, yes.”
Bai Jingyuan said, “Did anything happen?”
“Yes and no… It’s just that if I can’t get married in this life, will you be sad, Brother?” Bai Xianyu was a little uncertain. She did not want to get married because of the many restrictions after becoming a wife. Not to mention going out often, she could not even go back to her parents’ house as she pleased, or she would attract gossip.
She still had many things to do. After today’s incident, she could also cut off the intentions of others.
A smile flashed across Bai Jingyuan’s eyes. “1 actually would rather that Little Yu not get married. This way, I’ll be more at ease. I don’t have to worry about you being bullied in your in-laws’ house, nor do I have to worry whether your husband treats you well..”
