A drug to prevent having children?

Qi Yitang was stunned. There was actually such a medicine in the world?

Xie Ling explained, "Two children are enough. Any more and I wouldn't be able to handle it. It's better to settle things once and for all. That way, we won't have to worry about an accidental pregnancy in the future, and it won't stop us from being intimate."

Qi Yitang took a moment to react, "But you're the emperor, won't this kind of medicine harm your health...?"

"Shall I bring some for Tangtang to drink?"

Xie Ling raised an eyebrow, deliberately teasing her, "Doctor Kou said it would take about half a month to see results, but let me make it clear beforehand that this medicine is not only bitter, but also sour and spicy, and doesn't taste very good."

Qi Yitang resolutely refused, "Then you drink it, I can't drink it."

Even knowing that someone's actions were partly driven by their own lust, Qi Yitang was still moved.

Fourth Brother is good to her because he is her biological brother and they are close by blood. Apart from that, only Xie Ling would consider her needs without reservation.

Of course, Fourth Brother isn't always reliable.

Therefore, in comparison, Xie Ling is still the best.

She hugged his arm and rubbed against him affectionately, "Yanzhi, you're so sweet~"

Qi Yitang shamelessly assured him, "Don't worry, once I recover, I'll take care of you; you can just lie there."

Xie Ling knew that the "serving" she was talking about would only last for a quarter of an hour at most before she started to complain of being tired.

But what does it matter?

The bright moon hanging over his heart took the initiative to approach him and shine only on him, something that Xie Ling had never dared to dream of before.

"Then I'll be waiting to see." He brushed a stray hair behind her ear. "Go to bed early tonight, and come with me somewhere tomorrow."

"Where to?"

……

Yunjing Temple.

This is Qi Yitang's second time here. Last year, she came with the Empress Dowager to worship Buddha and fooled around with Xie Ling in the back mountain, almost getting caught in adultery.

"Why go to the temple today when it's neither a holiday nor a festival?"

"Go to fulfill your vow."

During the five days that Qi Yitang was in a coma, Xie Ling, in his desperation, sought any treatment he could find. He seized all the abbots and monks from the surrounding imperial temples and brought them to the palace, ordering them to come up with a solution.

Without exception, they all said they were powerless to do anything.

When Xie Ling had a seizure and nearly killed someone, it was the masters of Yun Jing Temple who stepped forward to help him.

Tell him that "the time is not yet ripe" and ask him to wait patiently.

Qi Yitang is now safe and sound, thanks not only to the witch's soul-summoning ritual but also to the master's efforts.

As a dignified emperor, he naturally couldn't leave without making any gesture, so today he brought his wife to fulfill his vow.

Firstly, he donated incense to the temple and re-inscribed the plaque; secondly, he prayed to Buddha to bless his beloved wife with a smooth and peaceful life in her later years.

But after getting off the carriage, looking at the long, long, seemingly endless staircase, Qi Yitang still had second thoughts.

"Is it really necessary to go? I just finished my postpartum confinement period, how can I possibly get up..."

Xie Ling squatted down directly in front of her.

"Come up."

"You have to carry me on your back. It's such a long way, how can I do that?" As she spoke, Qi Yitang acted without hesitation, nimbly climbing onto his back.

The steps at Yunjing Temple are indeed very long, which is why, despite having many masters, the temple receives fewer visitors than other temples.

There are many places where you can burn incense and worship Buddha, so why waste your time and energy?

Xie Ling steadily carried Qi Yitang, walking up step by step without even losing her breath.

Midway through, Qi Yitang noticed sweat beading on his forehead. "Are you tired? Put me down when we get to the front."

Xie Ling smiled and said, "A little. Tangtang seems to have gained a lot of weight compared to before."

No woman could stand hearing such words. Qi Yitang was about to hit him when he added, "But it's okay, I'll suck Tangtang dry later, and she won't be heavy anymore."

"...You're doing it again, aren't you?"

What kind of place is a temple that allows him to spout such nonsense and vulgarities?

Furthermore, this is as if she's some kind of dairy cow. No matter how much of that stuff she produces, it won't show up in her weight, okay?

He doesn't act like an emperor at all, humph!

……

At the mountain gate, the abbot was already waiting with several eminent monks.

"Amitabha Buddha, we respectfully welcome His Majesty and Her Majesty the Empress."

Xie Ling used to think that these monks and nuns were just chanting scriptures and wasting their time, but after this experience, he felt that it was necessary to have some respect for them.

He clasped his hands together and bowed respectfully. "Master, there is no need for such formalities. I have come with the Empress to fulfill my vow, to add some incense to the Buddha, and also to offer a perpetual lamp for my beloved wife."

"Excellent, excellent." The abbot returned the bow. "His Majesty's affection for the Empress is profound, and Buddha will surely be grateful and bestow blessings upon her."

Despite the monks' smiling faces and their seemingly relaxed demeanor as they chatted amiably with the emperor, they remained composed.

In fact, no one has forgotten the thrilling incident that happened more than a month ago.

Outside, lightning flashed and thunder roared. The emperor, his hair disheveled, held a long sword and pressed it against the necks of the men one by one, interrogating them with murderous intent. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked less like a human emperor and more like a vengeful demon crawling out of hell.

The abbot stepped forward at the time, but to be honest, he wasn't sure he was up to the task.

But if they didn't try, the monks from the major temples present probably wouldn't survive.

They were monks who had renounced worldly life, but they didn't plan to go see Buddha so soon.

Fortunately, the Empress was blessed with good fortune and woke up on her own.

Let alone one lamp that stays lit all the time, even ten or a hundred lamps would be no problem at all.

The temple was austere, and Qi Yitang thought she would not be used to it, but smelling the calm and distant sandalwood incense, she felt unusually peaceful and her mind was clear.

Xie Ling devoted himself to fasting and even changed into a plain white robe.

Whether he resembles a Buddhist or not is unknown, but judging from his daily chanting and worship with the masters, he seems quite devout.

What Qi Yitang didn't know was that while someone appeared serious on the surface, they were actually silently chanting mantras to hypnotize Buddha in their heart—

I can't be separated from my wife in the next life, or the life after that. It would be best if we were reborn as childhood sweethearts.

A mountain breeze swept by, and the copper bells on the eaves rang a few times, as if responding on behalf of Buddha.

……

After staying at Yunjing Temple for a few days, the two prepared to return to the palace.

After all, the child is still in the palace, and it's impossible to completely leave him in the care of Xie Changqing and the Empress Dowager.

The carriage slowly drove along the mountain road into Shengjing City. When it passed Zhuque Street, Qi Yitang suddenly said, "Yanzhi, let's not go back to the palace yet. Let's go see Yunzhi."

Considering that Song Yunzhi had been a great help to Tangtang during her childbirth, Xie Ling agreed.

Lanqiu Medical Clinic.

"This is three days' worth of medicine. Take one dose each morning and evening. During this period, eat less meat and avoid spicy foods."

"Thank you, doctor."

Similar to last time, it was still a queue for a doctor's consultation, medicine, and prescription. The only difference was that there was an elderly man with half-white hair and wearing glasses sitting at the consultation place.

Is this the maternal grandmother that Yunzhi mentioned?

Qi Yitang was still looking around when Song Yunzhi looked up and spotted her in the crowd.

She rubbed her eyes, and after confirming that it wasn't a hallucination, she quickly put down what she was doing and ran over.

"elder sister!"

Before Qi Yitang could even stand up straight, the little fox hugged her tightly. "Sister, I'm so glad you're alright!"

It has been more than a month since we last met.

After Qi Yitang fell into a coma during childbirth, Song Yunzhi also entered the palace and was questioned by the villainous emperor about whether she had any solutions.

However, a system scan showed that Qi Yitang was perfectly fine and was simply asleep.

Song Yunzhi told the truth, and then—

He was ruthlessly banished from the palace.

Later, she heard that the little angel had woken up and started her postpartum confinement. Song Yunzhi wanted to visit her but couldn't, because the villainous emperor's possessiveness was just too strong!
