With Jiang Yun Qiao back in the Ministry of Personnel, I felt much more relaxed, planning to reconnect with An Jin and discuss our future.
However, An Jin believed we should first make up for the bedroom “homework” we had missed over the past six months.
The direct consequence of this was—we rolled in bed for three days.
Three days! I was speechless. This kind of non-stop cultivation is something ordinary people couldn’t understand.
After three days, as soon as my foot touched the ground, I went limp. An Jin quickly had someone bring a bowl of brown sugar syrup, and I lay weakly in his arms, catching my breath. “I can’t… I’m getting old… time spares no one…”
An Jin was torn between laughter and tears, pinching my bottom. “What nonsense are you talking about? Didn’t we say we’d have two children? Are you backing down already?”
I asked, “Did you get the antidote for the sterility potion?”
His expression darkened, and he looked away.
An Jin had followed Xia Zhi Chun back to Yan Feng to find the antidote for the sterility potion, a secret known only to the Qi Emperor. When they rescued him from the secret prison, he was mentally unclear and near death. An Jin was worried he might reveal the secret department to Xia Zhi Chun, but the Qi Emperor never regained consciousness.
Only on the brink of death did the Qi Emperor have a moment of clarity, prompting An Jin to threaten him for the antidote’s whereabouts. The Qi Emperor just laughed mockingly, claiming there was no antidote.
He ultimately died amid his laughter. An Jin had believed there must be a solution, but he never expected the drug to be so potent.
The secret department had experts in medicine, but they were helpless against the sterility potion’s consequences. They suggested that increasing the frequency of intimacy might bring a miraculous turn of events.
I sighed, hugging his waist. “Even if the department can’t help, it doesn’t mean no one in the world can undo this potion. I’ve heard Nan Rui has extraordinary talents. What if I offer a reward like my uncle did?”
His expression became serious. “Absolutely not. This must not reach the Nan Rui royal family.”
