Years ago, the Pri Minister's gaze fell upon the Red-haired beauty, the wife of the Royal Guard's commander. This woman, a beacon of grace and power, beca the target of his twisted desires, a pawn in his sinister plan.
The Pri Minister, a master of manipulation, invited the Royal Guard's commander to his residence for a drink, a seemingly friendly gesture. As the two n shared drinks and conversation, the Pri Minister skilfully builds the trust between two, subtly drawing out the commander's personal problems.
The commander loved his wife deeply, but her inability to bear children had cast a shadow over their long marriage. After nearly two decades together, the initial disappointnt of their childlessness had turned into a persistent ache. Despite their unwavering love, the longing for a child remained a constant undercurrent in their lives
Sharing his problems to the Pri Minister, the commander revealed his wife's silent sorrow. This vulnerability, though shared in confidence, beca a weapon in the Pri Minister's arsenal.
He waited, biding his ti, until one day the commander invited him to his mansion for drinks, offering him entry to the wave of corruption in his ho. It was there, within the walls of trust, that the Pri Minister would begin his insidious plan, exploiting the commander's wife's longing and the couple's shared pain.
The Pri Minister, a master of manipulation, slipped a potent sedative into the commander's drink, a silent predator stalking its prey. As the commander succumbed to the drug's influence, the Pri Minister moved with calculated precision.
He approached the commander's wife's chamber, his knock echoing through the hushed night. "Can I co in?" he asked, his voice innocence.
Surprised and confused, she glanced towards the door, searching for her husband. "What does the Pri Minister need?" she asked, her voice laced with uncertainty. "And where is my husband?" Her forced smile betrayed the growing unease within her.
The Pri Minister's gaze held a knowing glint as he replied, "I need to speak with you about a matter of importance. As for your husband, he's currently resting.
"Did he drink more than usual?" she asked, her voice laced with concern. She knew her husband only drank heavily when he was troubled, and a pang of worry shot through her. The thought of him being vulnerable and intoxicated filled her with unease.
The Pri Minister nodded, confirming her suspicion. She was about to leave to check on her husband when the Pri Minister intervened, "I think we should let him rest. I need to discuss a matter related to his excessive drinking."
The Pri Minister nodded, confirming her suspicion. She was about to leave to check on her husband when the Pri Minister intervened, "I think we should let him rest. I need to discuss a matter related to his excessive drinking."
Her eyes widened in realization, understanding the gravity of the situation. "What did he tell you?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly as she t the Pri Minister's gaze.
The Pri Minister spoke, "It's about your inability to conceive. He ntioned how it upsets you, even after all these years. Seeing your distress has been troubling him as well."
He closed the distance between them, his voice low and innocent. "Can we talk about this? Perhaps I can offer so assistance."
She looked at him and asked, "What can we discuss about this matter?"
The Pri Minister walked past her and sat down. "You know, there was soone else who faced the sa problem as you. I helped her back then, and now she has twins."
His eyes fixed on her. "If I'm not mistaken, you're in a similar situation. I might be able to help you, just like I helped her."
"Who are you talking about?" she asked cautiously, her tone suggesting she wasn't afraid to question anyone, even if it's the Pri Minister of the Kingdom.
The Pri Minister nodded, "She was the wife of the previous Artifact Master. Sadly, he passed away shortly after the birth of their twin sons."
She knew the wife of the previous Artifact Master, who had tragically lost her husband shortly after giving birth to twins. However, she wasn't sure if the Alchemy Master's wife was facing a similar situation.
In this cultivation world, childbirth often takes an extended period when cultivators attempt to conceive. It's not uncommon for this process to span from a year to several years. Age is rely a number to cultivators, so conceive early, others in their fifties, so in their eighties, and a few even after eons. Their long lifespans allow them to conceive at any point, but the longer they wait, the more challenging it becos.
Noticing her reluctance, the Pri Minister gently said, "You don't have to share if you're not ready. I simply wanted to offer my assistance." As he began to rise, she stopped him.
"Wait, you already know everything, so there's no harm in discussing this. But please, don't ntion it to my husband. I don't want to upset him again." Her eyes held a serious expression.
A sly smile crept across the Pri Minister's face. "I had the sa thought. Let's keep this hidden, a secret between us. We'll give him a surprise he'll never forget."
A glimr of hope ignited in her eyes as she nodded. The Pri Minister's words had given her a lifeline, a chance to overco her despair. Yet, she remained silent, her heart heavy with doubt.
"sit down" the Pri Minister said softly. "We can work through this together." She nodded, her eyes filled with gratitude, and sat beside him. "Where should we begin?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly.
"Please, trust . What you share with will be kept confidential. I just want to understand your situation better. Are you experiencing the sa difficulties as the late Artifact Refiner's wife?"
She nodded, "Okay, ask then."
The Pri Minister began, "How many years has it been since you've been trying to conceive a child?"
She paused, lost in thought, trying to recall the exact mont she'd first yearned for a child.
