Du Wanwan, a military doctor, overworked herself to death. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself branded a 'calamity star'—hated by everyone, facing a forced exodus, and expel...
Chapter 85: The root is injured and the man loses his masculinity
"If I say I can, I can." Ye Tingxiao's tone was as steady as a rock, "Don't worry about my affairs, worry more about yourself! Although you are the eldest son, you have an older brother watching you closely, so be careful!"
"I know I have been on high alert. How long will you stay in Kyoto?" asked the prince.
Ye Tingxiao shook his head: "I don't know yet. I will go back after I finish my work. Liang County has received many refugees who have fled famine. I have to go back and help as soon as possible."
"Okay! I'm in a hurry today, I'll welcome you another day." The prince stood up, "I'm leaving first, Zhongyuan! I wish you all your wishes come true and that the engagement is successfully cancelled."
Ye Tingxiao stood up to see him off: "You will definitely succeed."
The two said goodbye, and he took out the small glass bottle given by Du Wanwan from his arms, poured in some warm water to allow the powder to fully dissolve, then tilted his head back and poured it into his mouth.
Before he met her, he really didn't care about women. No matter who arranged it, he would just marry her. It made no difference.
After meeting her, he no longer thought so. His wife must make him happy and they must be in love with each other, so that their lives would not be mediocre and muddle through.
She was a peasant girl, and she took this opportunity to ruin her reputation and match her.
The powder entered my stomach, and within a moment, I felt a spasm from below, and then I felt nothing.
She said it would take half an hour to take effect. It would take about an hour to ride home from here slowly.
Although the wedding date is the day after tomorrow, he still has to find a way to cancel the engagement.
After calling Ye Yi and Er Er together, the three of them rode slowly towards the Pingyang Marquis Mansion.
"I have something to tell you. Listen carefully." Ye Tingxiao turned around and looked at Ye Yier. "Two months ago, I went to investigate the enemy and was seriously injured. I was seriously injured and lost my manliness."
"What?" Ye Yi subconsciously looked at the place where Ye Tingxiao was, his face stern, "Prince! You, you, you, are you telling the truth?"
Ye Er looked worried: "No way! Prince! Your injury is in the chest, how can it be related to that place?"
He was really depressed. With a chest injury, would his subordinates be implicated as well?
Ye Tingxiao didn't want to tell the truth, so he could only put on a fierce face and said, "How should I know?"
Even if he knew, he couldn't tell these two people, for fear that he would fail to make up a story and mess it up. He had finally obtained the good medicine, but it didn't work after taking it. Wouldn't that be a big loss?
As long as his story gets out, no woman in Kyoto will miss him. By then, if he finds a way to get Du Wanwan, his grandmother, father and mother will not object.
She has medical skills, and once the effect of the medicine wears off, everyone in the family will be grateful to her for curing the patient.
Ye Tingxiao's mind was full of plans. He pretended to be shocked by their looks and rode into the city.
Ye Yi and Ye Er were making eyes and talking to each other in the back, not daring to make a sound.
I never dreamed that their son would lose his masculinity. Oh my God! Who would dare to marry him in the future? Do we still need to hold the wedding banquet the day after tomorrow?
Ye Tingxiao: “······” Then there is no need to display it.
Just let the prince investigate the matter of the banknotes. His main purpose of coming back is to cancel the engagement.
In order to be with her in the future, he would pay any price.
After returning to Pingyang Marquis's Mansion, Ye Tingxiao went straight to see the old lady: "Grandson greets grandmother! Please dismiss the attendants, I have something urgent to report."
The old lady winked at Aunt Hua beside her, and Aunt Hua immediately led everyone out.
"Jung Won! What are you going to tell Grandmother?"
Although Ye Tingxiao's father, Ye Zhenghai, is not her biological son but the son of her previous wife, she has raised him since he was nine years old.
The old lady was the second wife of the old Pingyang Marquis, who married later. The first wife only gave birth to Ye Zhenghai. After she married in, she gave birth to two sons and three daughters, a total of five.
Ye Zhenghai had been practicing martial arts with the old Marquis of Pingyang since he was young, and was deeply influenced by his teachings. His two sons took the imperial examination route, but unfortunately they were not talented and could only become fifth-rank officials.
Pingyang Hou and his wife were stationed in Liang County all year round, and they had basically nothing to do in Pingyang Hou Mansion in Kyoto. The head of the family was the second daughter-in-law Fang, and the second son was sent out to serve as an official.
Seeing that there was no one around, Ye Tingxiao leaned close to the old lady's ear and said, "Grandma! Send someone to call the imperial physician quietly. My grandson was seriously injured while investigating the enemy two months ago. He was injured to the core and has lost his masculinity."
"Ah? How could this happen?"
The old lady still loved Ye Tingxiao, after all, he grew up in front of her. After hearing about this and seeing her grandson's depressed face, she could not sit still any longer, and quickly stood up and helped her grandson up from his kneeling position.
"Have you seen Liang Jun?"
Ye Tingxiao shook his head: "This is a serious matter. I dare not tell my parents. I just want to come back and tell my grandmother."
"Don't be afraid! Grandmother will send a doctor to see you right away."
Although the old lady was anxious, she did not panic. She asked Nanny Hua to come in and ask someone to call the imperial physician.
This matter cannot be taken lightly, it must be carefully examined and understood. If the foundation is really damaged, the marriage may not be possible.
"Grandma! I will go back to bathe and wash myself first, and come back when the doctor arrives."
The old lady nodded slightly, looked at Ye Tingxiao with heartache, and waved at him: "Go ahead! Come over quickly after you finish washing up."
Why did you come to the old lady’s yard to see the imperial physician?
That was just a cover. The old lady invited the imperial physician on the grounds that she was unwell. The imperial physician did not come to the old lady's courtyard, but went to Yetingxiao's courtyard. The matter could no longer be concealed.
In fact, Ye Tingxiao had no intention of hiding it. When he returned to his own courtyard, he instructed Ye Er: "After the imperial physician comes, spread the news of my inhumane deeds in a subtle way and let Yang Yurong know as soon as possible."
"Yes!" Ye Er agreed, and was shocked in his heart, "Prince! Are you setting up a trap?"
Ye Tingxiao glared at him: "What kind of game is this? I'm telling you the truth."
Ye Yi pulled Ye Er and shook his head at him, signaling him not to ask any more questions. The prince was already like that and in a bad mood, so why ask?
What puzzled him was that Miss Du had taken the prince's pulse and did not say that he had any problems in that area. Could it be that Miss Du did not notice it?
This shouldn't be the case! She is so capable that she knew the prince had a low-grade fever and rotten wounds without even feeling his pulse, so why couldn't she even diagnose a man's impotence?
Du Wanwan: “???” What does your young master’s impotence have to do with me?
The imperial physician came very quickly. He arrived before Ye Tingxiao, and the old lady accompanied him to drink tea.
Nanny Hua came and called him to come over quickly. Ye Tingxiao didn't try to avoid the servants and strode towards the old lady's room.
The servants in the mansion were all puzzled, wondering why the prince went to the old lady's room as soon as he came back. Then they asked the imperial physician to come over. Could it be that the prince was ill?
It doesn't look like it! He looks fine, what could it be?
