Chapter 86 Yang Yurong's Plan
Yang Yurong has already bribed spies in the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion. In fact, Ye Er doesn't need to do anything special. She knows everything that happens here.
The imperial physician was also puzzled. Didn't they say that the old lady was unwell? Why didn't they ask him to take her pulse when he came? She didn't look like she was unwell, so why did they call him?
He had already drunk tea for ten days, why didn't he ask for his pulse? Could it be that the old lady didn't call him here to see a doctor? Was it for something else?
Just as he was wondering, he saw Ye Tingxiao walking in from outside. The imperial physician's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained expressionless.
It was not until everyone in the old lady's room had left and the door was closed that he realized that he was not treating the old lady but the prince.
"Doctor Wang! Thank you for your help!" The old lady asked Ye Tingxiao to sit down and stretched out her wrist.
Doctor Wang, who was in his fifties, looked at Ye Tingxiao, stretched out two fingers, and placed them on his pulse. After a moment, his face became solemn.
Then he changed his hand and the expression on his face was even more surprised.
No wonder everyone was kicked out, it turned out that there was something wrong with the prince’s health.
As soon as he let go of Ye Tingxiao's hand, the old lady couldn't wait to ask: "How is it? Is there any hope of recovery?"
Seeing her asking, Doctor Wang frowned and said, "According to the pulse, I'm afraid it's difficult. You won't have children in this lifetime."
There was no expression on Ye Tingxiao's face, but he felt in his heart that Miss Du's medicine was so effective that it could even fool the imperial physician.
"Sir! Can I take a look at that part of your body?" Doctor Wang asked, "How did you get this injury?"
"Two months ago, I went out to carry out my father's orders and had a fight with Qi Zi. I was seriously injured at that time, and then this happened." Yetingxiao lied without blushing or feeling any pain.
"But it's stretched?" Doctor Wang asked again.
Ye Tingxiao thought about it and followed his words and answered: "I did stretch it a bit. I felt a cramp in that area at the time, but I didn't take it seriously afterwards."
"That's it." Doctor Wang shook his head and sighed, "As long as it's stretched and the meridians are injured, I'm afraid it won't heal in this lifetime."
The old lady was unwilling to give up: "Doctor Wang! Do you have any good medicine to remedy this?"
Doctor Wang sat down, thought about it seriously, and finally shook his head: "I'm afraid not."
"Really?" The old lady was extremely anxious, "What other methods can we use?"
"No." Doctor Wang sighed heavily, "The meridians are broken, even gods can't do anything about it."
"What should we do? We are going to get married the day after tomorrow, how could something like this happen?" The old lady was extremely anxious and kept stroking her chest, "How can our Ye family be worthy of Yurong's child?"
It's better to say sorry, I just want to ruin my marriage with her. Ye Tingxiao stood aside, pretending to be ashamed.
Doctor Wang stood up and said goodbye. It was not convenient for him to listen to other people's family affairs, so it was better for him to leave.
The old lady asked Nanny Hua to take Doctor Wang out. She looked at Ye Tingxiao with tears in her eyes and didn't know what to say.
Although she was not his biological grandmother, the old lady still had some sincerity towards him. Ye Tingxiao comforted her a few words, said goodbye and returned to his own courtyard.
He called Ye Yi and asked him to find out what Yang Yurong had been up to recently.
Although Ye Yi didn't understand, he went anyway.
At the residence of the Minister of Rites, Yang Yurong did not show much joy when she heard that Ye Tingxiao had returned. She looked at Ye Tingxiao from a distance several times secretly, and each time her face was cold.
It would be better if the eldest prince was gentle and considerate to her, willing to hold her in high esteem and respect her.
Whether it was at a poetry gathering, a flower viewing banquet, or any other banquet, the eldest prince always protected her. Gradually, she began to have feelings for him that she shouldn't have.
Others may not know, but she herself knows that the eldest prince has already married a princess, and if she wants to marry in, she can only be a concubine.
If she were the prince's concubine, her status as a legitimate daughter would be just right. If she were the prince's concubine, her status as a legitimate daughter would be lowly.
She was originally very happy to marry into the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion and become the Crown Prince's Consort. However, over the years, Ye Tingxiao never came to Kyoto to visit her.
The wedding date was postponed year after year, and she felt really humiliated.
Every time she went out, someone would use this to ridicule her. Fortunately, with the help of the eldest prince, those who ridiculed her did not get the upper hand.
When she heard that he was back and were going to get married the day after tomorrow, she felt disgusted to death. If possible, she really wanted to cancel the engagement and marry the eldest prince as a concubine, which was actually not bad.
Such a gentle and considerate man, and a member of the royal family, even being his concubine is better than being the prince's consort in the Pingyang Marquis's mansion.
After the wedding, Ye Tingxiao will definitely go to Liang County, leaving her alone in the mansion to suffer, which is boring to think about. The only advantage is that she doesn't have to serve her parents-in-law, set rules, or listen to lessons.
The old lady was very kind to her and would definitely not make things difficult for her.
"well!"
Yang Yurong had sighed for the thirty-second time. Other brides were all happy, but she was frowning and full of melancholy.
"Miss! Miss! There's news from the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion." Yang Yurong's personal maid ran in and whispered something in her ear. She was shocked and her eyes were filled with joy. "Are you serious?"
The maid nodded frantically: "It's absolutely true, I just got the news."
Yang Yurong was very happy: "God helps me."
"ah?"
The maids were all confused, not understanding why the young lady was so happy when her future son-in-law was impotent. Was she scared silly by the news? But when the young lady rushed to the master's study, she didn't look silly at all.
Upon learning that Ye Tingxiao was in poor health, Yang Yurong immediately went to the study to find her father Yang Zheng. This matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise when the date comes, when she really gets married, it will be too late.
"Dad! Something big happened!"
Yang Yurong holds a very high status in the Yang family, and Yang Zheng dotes on her as his legitimate daughter very much.
"What happened?" Yang Zheng didn't think there was anything wrong with her daughter coming to the study to see her. "Sit down and talk slowly."
Yang Yurong couldn't say anything, so she opened Yang Zheng's teacup, dipped her finger in the water, and wrote two words.
As he wrote, he said, "The son of the Marquis of Pingyang, fought with the thief two months ago and was seriously injured. When he came back, he found that he had lost a man's..."
The word "xiongfeng" was not spoken out loud, but was written on the desk.
Yang Zheng looked at it and was extremely surprised: "Is this true?"
Yang Yurong nodded, "Really? I bribed the housekeeper in the Pingyang Marquis's mansion to pass on the news that Doctor Wang has been invited to the mansion. Dad! There is no time to lose, you should go and see Doctor Wang immediately. If this is true, my daughter's life will be ruined.
If she has no offspring to live in the harem, is there any place for her daughter in the Pingyang Marquis's mansion? If he is really in trouble, her daughter would rather die than ride in a sedan chair."
Yang Zheng stood up and walked around the study room. He thought there was no other way, so he went to ask Doctor Wang for confirmation.
If Ye Tingxiao really cannot fulfill his obligations as a man, his daughter cannot be implicated.
