"Princess Chu and King Chu are cousins."

The eldest princess of Ningyang explained to Huo Junyao in a low voice.

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

An hour had almost passed, and Duan Li hurriedly came back from outside, still holding a stack of sorted out survey results in his hand.

"How's it going?"

The Emperor asked.

Duan Li glanced at Huo Junyao before replying respectfully; "Returning to the emperor, it is true that as the lord of Zhaode said, there are many problems with close relatives who are married, and the old slave has been sorted out."

Emperor Taishang directly reported the stack of survey results, quickly looked at it, the more I looked at it, the more frightened I became, the families of close relatives who married and those who were not close relatives married, each had one hundred households, but the proportion of people who had problems with close relatives who married actually reached about seventy percent.

It is indeed as Huo Junyao said, either the child born has problems, or it is stillborn, or even dystocia, infertility, and these are all there.

The number of these problems is much lower than that of non-consanguineous marriages, and although there may be some cases, the data between the two are not comparable at all.

"Look at it."

Emperor Taishang handed the results of the investigation to Emperor Zhaowu on the side with a solemn face.

The same Emperor Zhaowu was also shocked, and he spoke after a while; "Simply. How so."

Subsequently, the big guys looked at the results of these surveys one by one.

After seeing this comparison result, the King of Chu and the Princess of Chu turned even pale.

If they still had a little luck before, in the face of this tangible investigation result, their luck is completely gone.

"It's shocking, the emperor's concubines feel that it is necessary to prohibit it, this is only a hundred households, how many such people are there in our Yu Dynasty in the country, and how many children and adults have died because of these years."

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

The matter between the prince and Huo Junyao did not work out.

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 arrange it after Qinghe and Lu.

But now that we see the results of this investigation, this must not be arranged in this way.

"I never thought that there would be such a special 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 fiefdom, and there would definitely be no shortage of such things.

After he went back this time, he had to investigate it carefully and then order a ban.

"Well, I know this matter in my heart, and I will let people expand the investigation later, and I will work out the next thing."

At this moment, seeing such ironclad evidence, Emperor Tai's original intention of matching Huo Junyao and King Qin also faded.

Indeed, you can't hurt these two juniors.

It's a lifetime thing.

"Lord, what should we do?"

Just when everyone was thinking differently, Princess Chu cried directly.

Over the years, she has been anxious that she failed to give birth to a son and a half daughter to the King of Chu, begged for an unknown number of doctors, and drank an unknown number of bitter potions.

It's not that no doctor said that her body is fine, but she still insisted, after all, if there are no children between husband and wife these days, it is a strange woman.

She is no exception, but she never expected the crux to be here.

Thinking that she might never have another chance in the future, she felt both desolate and self-reproachful.

was told by her, Emperor Zhaowu also reacted immediately, his son and daughter-in-law were cousins, thinking about the piles on the investigation results.

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

"It's okay, now that you understand the situation, you won't have to take those bitter medicines in the future."

"Yes"

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

"It's okay, sometimes life has to happen."

Huo Junyao, who was on the side, couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw the appearance of King Chu at this time.

She also had an intersection with the King of Chu, and it was not too pleasant to say, so her impression of the King of Chu was naturally not very good, and he had the idea of wanting to win the heir, which was a big trouble in her opinion.

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

But when I saw it today, this King of Chu made her look up to her.

In the ancient social environment, when he faced such a situation, he could still say such things, and he could be regarded as a gentleman.

As for whether it is pretending to be like it, it doesn't look like it, and the husband and wife of the King of Chu have always had a good relationship, and now they are the emperor and the emperor in person.

If the king of Chu really pretends, he can only fool around for a while, and sooner or later it will be exposed, and then the impression will be greatly reduced, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

"Actually, it's not necessarily infertility, it's just relatively difficult."

"Princess Chu can stop those drugs first, after all, the medicine is three points poisonous, and her body and bones are well raised, maybe there will still be a chance when."

At this moment, Huo Junyao really couldn't find anything to say, so she could only comfort her, although the child conceived in this way has a certain chance of some problems, but you can't let the family leave directly, right?

Besides, it has been over for many years, and there have been many close relatives who have married throughout the ages, and it is not necessarily that all children have problems, and there are still some that are okay.

It's just that if you can prevent it, you naturally prefer to take precautions.

"Zhaode is right, Princess Chu will take care of her body in the future."

Empress Shen also spoke.

And Huo Junyao's words were like a ray of light, which ignited a glimmer of hope for Princess Chu, who was already desperate.

"Is what the county lord said true? I really still have a chance. ”

"There have been so many of you in this situation throughout the ages, and there are also successful births, so there are definitely opportunities."

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

"Okay, thank you, Lord Zhaode."

The King of Chu also stood up and arched his hand at Huo Junyao.

In the ensuing family banquet, there was no chaos, although the prince did not talk to Huo Junyao, but he did not fight again.

As for Princess Qinghe, since she was scared by Queen Shen last time, she was a little stunned when she saw Huo Junyao now.

I'm afraid of provoking this cousin who is in the middle of the day again.

So this time the family banquet was quite passable.

After lunch, Huo Junyao followed the old lady out of the palace, and Huo Jingzhi was greeted by Emperor Zhaowu to go to the imperial study.

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

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

Then he talked about getting married, and the two of them changed their faces when they heard it.
