It was only when the Qi Emperor was on the brink of death that An Jin took the opportunity to threaten him to reveal the whereabouts of the sterility potion. However, the Qi Emperor just laughed mockingly, saying there was no antidote to the sterility potion.
The Qi Emperor ultimately died amid his laughter. An Jin originally thought that since everything has its opposite, there must be a solution but never expected the drug to be so potent.
The secret department had experts in medicine, but even these experts were helpless against the consequences of the sterility potion.
I sighed, hugging his waist to comfort him. “That’s right. Even if the secret department can’t help, it doesn’t mean there’s no one in the world who can undo this potion. What if I offer a reward like my uncle did?”
His expression suddenly became serious, and he said in a low voice, “Absolutely not. This matter must not be known to the Nan Rui royal family.”
I was stunned. He explained, “You are the future heir of Nan Rui. If people knew we couldn’t have children, it would undoubtedly pose a significant threat to your position.”
I laughed helplessly, “Do you think I really want that position? Now that you’re by my side, I can give up being an heir.”
An Jin sighed, “If only it were that simple. From what I know, the Emperor is determined to give you this position. Once he learns that you gave up the throne because of me, what do you think he’ll do?”
I understood his meaning, and my heart sank. “You mean—he might harm you?”
“He might harm me, or he might forcibly assign you another husband,” he said with a bitter smile.
“Either way, it would bring us great trouble.”
“But—Uncle seems kind and doesn’t seem like someone so cruel…” I was somewhat hesitant.
“He is indeed kind to you,” An Jin wrapped his arm around my shoulder, seeming somewhat helpless. “But he is still an emperor. An emperor’s love can sometimes be a form of restraint. Do you know that if I hadn’t produced the black gold token, he might not have agreed to our marriage or allowed me to be your consort?”
