Yang Mengchen said indifferently, "It has been a long time, but there is still a glimmer of hope. It's just that the treatment will be somewhat troublesome."

"Really?" Long Jingxi stood up excitedly, staring at Yang Mengchen without blinking, afraid that she had not heard clearly just now.

Yang Mengchen nodded slightly.

The maids and sisters Jin brought by Long Jingxi knelt down and said in unison, "Congratulations to the Eldest Princess, our best wishes to the Eldest Princess!"

Everyone was happy for Long Jingxi.

"Thank you, Ms. Yang!" Long Jingxi's eyes brimmed with tears, overcome with emotion, causing her body to tremble slightly uncontrollably.

Knowing that she would have no children in this life, she had resolved not to marry.

However, her childhood companion, Min Luozhan, the talented Heir to the Marquis Guangping, begged the Emperor on his knees multiple times to marry her, even stating he was willing to forgo his position as heir and his splendid future (as a prince consort in Dong Chu could only hold a nominal office), wishing only to stay by her side for life, never to part, and even suggested that if she liked children, one could be adopted from among his several younger brothers' offspring.

She was deeply moved, and with persuasion from the Emperor, the Empress, and her Third Imperial Younger Brother, she ultimately accepted Luo Zhan.

Over the years, Luo Zhan was just as caring and considerate to her as ever, their marital harmony never marred by a single argument.

Yet her mother-in-law resented her for ruining Luo Zhan's future and cutting off his lineage. Despite her continuous filial piety and modesty, her mother-in-law never showed her a kind face, constantly trying to insert other women into Luo Zhan's chambers. Fortunately, Luo Zhan was resolute and refused every time, even moving out of the Hou Mansion for her sake.

Luo Zhan had given up his position as heir, and after their grand wedding, the Emperor bestowed upon him the hereditary and irreplaceable title of Marquis Xinwu, leaving other branches of the Min Mansion envious of the title.

Truthfully, she liked children very much and longed to have a child with Luo Zhan. Even just one would be precious, even a daughter.

Now that Ms. Yang had said she could be cured, even with just a sliver of hope, she was incredibly excited and joyful.

Seeing what was going through Long Jingxi's mind, Yang Mengchen sighed inwardly.

It wasn't just in ancient times; even in the modern era, many women without offspring were pitiable, like herself and those women who visited her clinic.

In the end, the main culprit was the current Emperor. Undeniably a wise ruler, but not a good husband nor father, otherwise, his wife and children would not have suffered persecution in succession.

Long Xuanmo, who had been staring intently at Yang Mengchen, saw the faint sneer and mysterious light in the depths of her eyes, his enigmatic face turning deeply serious, pondering something unknown.

Once Long Jingxi had gradually calmed down, Yang Mengchen said indifferently, "It would be best for the prince consort to come over as well."

"Ms. Yang?" Long Jingxi looked at Yang Mengchen, surprised.

Aside from Long Yingtong, Yang Chengning, Sister Jin, and Hai Tang, the other people were similarly surprised and turned to look at Yang Mengchen.

After all, it was the Eldest Princess who had mistakenly consumed the Sterility Powder, while the prince consort had always been healthy, especially since being doubted as a man is considered a shameful matter.

Yang Mengchen's expression remained unchanged, "The Eldest Princess can't have children on her own."

After staring at Yang Mengchen for a moment, Long Xuanmo withdrew his gaze and said to Long Jingxi, "My brother-in-law was seriously injured when he accompanied me on a military campaign. Ah Jiu's medical skills are extraordinary. It's a good opportunity for my brother-in-law to recuperate properly, to prevent any lingering ailments."

Yang Mengchen was surprised that Long Xuanmo could say such appropriate words and naturally let this emotion show in her eyes.

Seemingly perceiving the meaning behind Yang Mengchen's gaze, Long Xuanmo's expression darkened slightly, his beautiful lips pressed firmly together, clearly in a displeased mood.
