Chapter 343 A Peculiar Way of Giving Birth
Although the Crown Princess's backyard experienced a turmoil due to the child, it was quickly settled.
Yuechen's situation is not so good; he has been unable to conceive for a long time, and the imperial physician diagnosed that his fertility sacs are underdeveloped.
It turns out that the males here have a reproductive sac inside their bodies, which fully develops as the man grows.
After marriage, if a woman becomes pregnant, the fetus will grow in the birth pouch. Once the fetus is fully grown, it will be born from the birth pouch, after which the birth pouch will wither.
If she becomes pregnant again, her sac will reopen.
Unexpectedly, Yuechen's reproductive sac was not fully developed. If the reproductive sac was not fully developed, she would definitely not be able to have children.
Yuechen looked at Ji Xuan with teary eyes, "Your Highness, what should we do?"
Yuechen was extremely worried. If he couldn't give the prince a son or daughter, how could he live up to the prince's favor?
Despite Ji Xuan's attempts to comfort him, Yue Chen remained unhappy.
At this moment, the system's book finally arrived. At first, Ji Xuan thought it was some kind of thing, but when she saw that it contained sketches of children, she didn't care anymore and directly rewarded Yue Chen with a gold ingot, just wanting to find out if there was anything that could help Yue Chen have a child.
Lin Liuyi arrived late with the system, and she was a little confused after hearing Ji Xuan's words.
What is a fertility sac? Can men get pregnant?
"May I ask, how will the baby be delivered using that birthing bag?"
After Ji Xuan's demonstration, Lin Liuyi was shocked.
"Fa Cai, did you hear her say that the baby was born from her belly button?"
This is even more unbelievable than Pigsy's story about being born from under the ribs.
No, that's not it. How could a baby be born from such a small belly button?
Lin Liu was completely baffled.
The system seemed to understand somewhat; it meant that the child would grow inside the man's sac, and the navel was like the opening of the sac, gradually enlarging as the child grew so that the fetus could emerge from the opening.
"This... I've never encountered a situation like yours before!" Lin Liuyi was truly at a loss this time. She was sorry, she had never seen a man give birth like this before.
She went to ask Long Mingyue, who was also surprised, as this was something that had never been heard of in their cultivation world.
She wanted to ask Monkey King again, but seeing that he was almost at Leiyin Temple, she decided not to bother him.
"Get rich! I suddenly realized that Monkey King's true form is a stone. How can he have children with Daiyu?!"
"Sigh, never mind, let's deal with Ji Xuan's problem first!"
After much thought, Lin Liuyi decided to ask Princess Mingyue if there was any solution available in interstellar space.
The steward from Ji Xuan's residence rushed over to report: "Your Highness, someone from the palace has come to summon you to the palace."
Ji Xuan's heart tightened, and she comforted Yue Chen, saying, "Don't be afraid, I'll be right back."
She knew that her mother must have found out that Yuechen was infertile.
Upon arriving at the palace, His Majesty looked at Ji Xuan and said solemnly, "Xuan'er, you have been married for some time now, and Yuechen has yet to bear you any children. I intend to bestow upon you a few more husbands."
As expected, the moment His Majesty spoke, Ji Xuan knew she had guessed correctly.
Ji Xuan immediately knelt down, "Mother, your son and Yue Chen are deeply in love and need no one else. Even if Yue Chen cannot bear children for your son, your son is willing."
His Majesty frowned. "Don't act rashly. You can't be without an heir. Do you want to grow old without any children, unable to even enjoy the joys of family life? Won't you regret it then?"
Ji Xuan said firmly, "Mother, I have no regrets. Having Yue Chen by my side in this life is enough!"
"Outrageous! I will not allow such a thing to happen. I have already chosen husbands for you. Guards, escort those young men back to the manor with the prince!"
"Your Majesty, I refuse! I beg you to withdraw your decree!"
If she brought the person back, Yue Chen might overthink things, so Ji Xuan thought it best for her to refuse the offer beforehand.
Ji Xuan's refusal angered the Empress. She was furious that her child was so love-struck, and that he was just a lover. Given her status, it would be normal for her to have a few more.
Unfortunately, her daughter was determined to be with Yuechen.
In the end, Ji Xuan was carried back from the palace.
"Your Highness, why bother! If His Majesty truly bestows a new concubine upon her, Yuechen will simply accept it!"
Upon hearing this, Yuechen felt both happy and anxious. The prince had been flogged in the palace before being allowed to leave, having refused His Majesty's request.
However, if he were to actually accept His Majesty bestowing a new concubine upon the Prince's residence, he would be somewhat reluctant to do so.
Ji Xuan wiped away Yue Chen's tears, "It's okay, I don't need anyone else, you're enough!"
Ji Xuan knew perfectly well that Yue Chen was just being stubborn; now she only hoped that Lin Liuyi could bring good news.
"But there is some good news!"
"Does this mean Yuechen can have children now?!" Ji Xuan was so excited that she didn't even care about the injury on her buttocks.
"I'm not sure either!"
After Lin Liuyi consulted with everyone, while they were surprised, they also believed that Yue Chen's congenital underdeveloped reproductive sac was due to a genetic problem, and that drinking the interstellar gene potion should solve the problem.
However, Princess Mingyue couldn't be sure if their medicine would work on Yuechen, since their physical structures were indeed different.
Lin Liuyi told Ji Xuan what had happened, leaving her with a choice.
"Never mind, let's try anything!"
Ji Xuan had thought it over. Yue Chen couldn't have children, and she had already refused her mother, the Empress, once. If it happened once or twice, or if the Empress herself schemed against her, she wouldn't be able to escape. She might as well take a gamble and try.
Ji Xuan made her decision. After obtaining the gene serum, she immediately gave Lin Liuyi a box of gold as a reward.
Lin Liuyi no longer cared about gold; she was now curious whether the potion would work on Yuechen.
Even more so, she wanted to see how men in this world get pregnant and give birth!
After hearing what she said, the people at the research institute wished they could travel to this world themselves and see it for themselves.
"Yuechen, if there were a medicine that could cure your fertility sac and allow you to have children, you..." Although Ji Xuan was determined to use the medicine, she still wanted to ask Yuechen's opinion.
Before she could finish speaking, Yuechen eagerly agreed.
"Where is it? I'll drink it right now!"
It's just a medicine, isn't it? In order to have a child, Yuechen has tried countless folk remedies, but none of them have worked.
Seeing Yue Chen's expectant eyes, Ji Xuan had no choice but to take out the potion.
Ignoring everything else, Yue Chen started drinking right away, trusting that the prince wouldn't harm him!
He didn't expect that as soon as he took the medicine, he felt warm all over, and then suddenly felt a pain in his stomach!
"Moon Dust!"
