Princess of the auxiliary country

"Princess Chu and King Chu are cousins."

Princess Ningyang explained to Huo Junyao in a low voice.

Hearing this, Huo Junyao immediately showed a look of surprise, and then looked at Princess Chu with more sympathy and helplessness in her eyes.

Only an hour had passed, and Duan Li hurriedly came back from outside, holding a stack of organized survey results in his hand.

"How's it going?"

The Supreme Emperor asked.

Duan Li glanced at Huo Junyao before replying respectfully, "Reporting to the Emperor, it is indeed as Princess Zhaode said, people who marry close relatives have more problems, and I have asked people to sort them out."

The Emperor directly checked the stack of survey results and quickly looked through them. The more he looked at them, the more alarming he became. There were 100 households each with consanguineous marriages and non-consanguineous marriages. However, the proportion of problems among consanguineous marriages actually reached nearly seven. About.

It is true that as Huo Junyao said, there will be something wrong with the child, or it will be stillbirth, or even dystocia, or infertility.

Compared with families who are not married by close relatives, the number of these problems will be much smaller. Although certain situations will occur, the data between the two are completely incomparable.

"Take a look."

The Supreme Emperor handed the investigation results to Emperor Zhaowu beside him with a solemn expression.

Emperor Zhaowu was also horrified by the sight. It took him a while before he said, "It's just... how could this be the case?"

Then everyone took a look at these survey results one by one.

King Chu and Princess Chu turned even pale after seeing the comparison results.

If they had a little bit of luck before, now that they were facing these actual investigation results, their luck was completely gone.

"It's simply shocking. Your Majesty thinks it is necessary to ban this. This is only a hundred households. How many people like this are there in our Yu Dynasty? How many children and adults have died because of this over the years."

Empress Shen was also extremely shocked, and at the same time she was quite happy that her children were not very old yet.

The prince's previous affairs with Huo Junyao failed.

There is also Princess Qinghe. Her brother Shen Huan has always wanted Qinghe to marry into the Shen family, that is, to marry Qinghe's cousin.

She was also very moved, thinking that she would make arrangements after Qinghe and Jihou.

But now that I have seen the results of this investigation, this matter must never be arranged this way.

"I never thought that there is such a thing."

King Qin, who had not spoken much, was also surprised at this time. Although he was not married yet, there were many people in his fief, so such things would definitely happen.

After returning this time, he will have to investigate carefully and then order a ban.

"Well, I know this matter well. I will ask someone to expand the investigation later and plan the next steps."

At this moment, seeing such irrefutable evidence, the Emperor's original intention of bringing Huo Junyao and King Qin together faded away.

Indeed, we cannot harm these two juniors.

This is a lifelong matter.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?"

Just when everyone had different thoughts, Princess Chu cried directly.

Over the years, she had been worried about her failure to give birth to a son and a half for King Chu. She had sought help from countless doctors and drank countless bitter potions.

It was not that the doctor had said that there was nothing wrong with her health, but she still persisted. After all, these days, couples who don't have children are considered strange women.

She was no exception, but she never expected that the crux was actually here.

Thinking that she might never get another chance in the future, she felt desolate and blamed herself. When she said this, Emperor Zhaowu immediately realized that his son and daughter-in-law were cousins, thinking about the various details in the investigation results.

He didn't know what to do at this time.

"It doesn't matter. Now that you understand the situation, you won't have to take those bitter medicines in the future."

"Can"

Seeing King Chu like this, Princess Chu felt even more uncomfortable.

"It's okay, sometimes things have to happen in life."

Huo Junyao on the side couldn't help but sigh in her heart when she saw King Chu's appearance at this time.

She also had an encounter with the King of Chu, which was not too pleasant to say, so her impression of the King of Chu was naturally not very good. In addition, he also wanted to seize the throne, which seemed to her to be a big trouble. .

I don't even want to have anything to do with him.

But when she saw him today, she seemed to think highly of the King of Chu.

In the social environment of ancient times where no heirs were considered important, he could still say such words when faced with such a situation, which can be regarded as a man.

As for whether it's just pretentious, it doesn't look like it, and the King of Chu and his wife have always had a good relationship, and now the Emperor is in person with the Emperor.

If the King of Chu is really pretending, he can only deceive him for a moment. Sooner or later, he will be exposed, and the impression will be greatly reduced, and the gain will be somewhat outweighed by the loss.

"Actually, it doesn't necessarily mean infertility, it's just relatively difficult."

"Princess Chu, you can stop taking those medicines first. After all, they are only three parts poisonous. Once your body and bones are healed, you may still have a chance."

At this moment, Huo Junyao really couldn't find anything to say, so she could only comfort her like this. Although there was a certain chance that a child born in this way would have some problems, she couldn't let her divorce him directly, right?

Besides, after all these years, there have been many consanguineous marriages throughout the ages. It’s not necessarily that all children have problems, but there are still some that are fine.

As long as we can take precautions, naturally we would rather take precautions.

"Zhao De is right. Princess Chu should take good care of her health from now on."

Queen Shen also spoke.

But Huo Junyao's words were like a ray of light, igniting a glimmer of hope in the already desperate Princess Chu.

"Is what the princess said true? I really still have a chance."

"Throughout the ages, there have been so many people in your situation, and some have been successfully conceived, so there must be opportunities."

She didn't say for sure that if she didn't get it right, she would do bad things with good intentions. She just said that there was a chance.

"Okay, thank you Princess Zhaode."

King Chu also stood up and cupped his hands towards Huo Junyao.

There was no trouble at the subsequent family dinner. Although the prince did not speak to Huo Junyao, he did not argue with her again.

As for Princess Qinghe, since she was frightened by Queen Shen last time, she is a little frightened when she sees Huo Junyao.

I was afraid of provoking this prosperous cousin again.

So this family dinner was quite passable.

After lunch, Huo Junyao followed his mother out of the palace, while Huo Jingzhi was greeted by Emperor Zhaowu to the imperial study.

Shortly after the two arrived at the imperial study, Fang Qiao and Shen Huan also came.

Emperor Zhaowu directly handed over the results of the Supreme Emperor's investigation to Fang Qiao.

Then he talked about the intimate marriage, and both of them changed their expressions upon hearing this.
