I thought that asking King Zunyi to detoxify me would be a safe bet, but who would have thought that the poison was cured, but it left sequelae.

After so long, not only has he slept with many beautiful women, even when he and Yu Zihe sleep at night, they are like sisters.

For Li Zeng, this was simply a death sentence! How could he carry forward the glorious tradition of stealing other people's wives? After finally seeing Bei Danzhu, he naturally wanted to ask her for the antidote.

Who knew that it was not a good idea to pull the collar, as he did not pull it well, causing Bei Danzhu's clothes to slide down, exposing half of her shoulder.

In the summer, we don’t wear much.

As a result, Bei Danzhu was surrounded by people.

Even though she got angry and started fighting with Li Zeng, it didn't change the fact that she was being watched. It also didn't change the goodwill of the onlookers. Someone called the police, saying that a man was molesting a woman in the street and someone was about to die.

When the people from the Dali Temple arrived, they found that someone was indeed about to die, but it was not the girl, but the son of the Minister of Works.

There was no one in the Li family who practiced martial arts, and Li Shi didn't want his son to go into battle and kill the enemy, so he didn't let him learn martial arts at all.

If he had known that he would be beaten half to death by a woman in the street, Li Shi would have definitely asked a master to teach him martial arts a long time ago!

But knowing this is priceless. After Li Zeng was carried back half-dead, Li Shi regretted his decision.

While feeling regretful, one must at least find a way to cure one's son's illness.

After being beaten so badly, he thought of Su Xiujie again.

Li Shi's liver ached whenever he thought of Su Xiujie.

But last time I spent 80,000 taels!

But he only had one belly, and he was still hoping to pass on his family line, so he suddenly had an idea and called Yu Zihe to discuss it: "You see your husband was beaten so badly, why don't we get together 100,000 taels and ask King Zunyi to come and take a look?"

Yu Zihe was not happy at all. She married Li Zeng because he was young, but he acted like a dead pig at night. She married him because the Li family was rich, but she only got a small monthly allowance.

"Dad, you don't know, my dowry was stolen, there is not much left." Yu Zihe said.

Li Shi didn't believe it. "When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Just two days ago, the land deeds and other things were lost, the silver was gone, and only a few pieces of cloth were left..." Yu Zihe said aggrievedly, "The cloth was the betrothal gift from my family..."

Even thieves don't steal your betrothal gifts! Li Shi still didn't believe it, "Really?"

"Really? How about Dad come with me to the warehouse to take a look?"

After she said this, Li Shi's eyes lit up, but when he saw Li Zeng lying unconscious in bed, he still breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Forget it, forget it. You take good care of Zeng'er. I'll think of a solution!"

Having said that, he walked out.

The person is not yet at the point of death, so there is no need to look for King Zunyi. Just look for an ordinary doctor.

After he left, Yu Zihe opened the small drawer that had been locked.

She was lying to Li Shi by saying that the things were lost, and she didn't want to pay any money.

But when she saw it, she was stunned for a moment.

The banknotes and land deeds are gone!

She had locked it very well, how could it be gone? She was anxious and called her maid, but strangely, the maid didn't respond no matter how she called.

It took her a long time to realize that her key was only accessible to her and her maid, and she was probably stolen by the maid.

Oh, right! The maid’s indenture was also in there, so it must have been stolen along with them!

Yu Zihe almost fainted! If she had known that her words would come true, she might as well use it to treat Li Zeng! Regret was useless, Li Shi came back with the doctor.

Yu Zihe stayed by the side, holding back her anger. After Doctor Guan finished taking her pulse, he almost made her faint with anger when he started talking.

"Your son's external injuries are not serious, but the problem is his kidneys. They are so damaged that I'm afraid there is no cure..."

Doctor Guan looked at Yu Zihe with regret, "Let me feel Madam's pulse again!"

Yu Zihe almost fainted, so she had to let him do what he wanted. But she felt very upset. That day in the woods, Li Zeng was obviously fine, how come his kidneys became damaged after getting married? No, no! Since the first day of marriage, she and Li Zeng have never done anything intimate again. Perhaps his kidneys were already damaged before the marriage!

No wonder this family would marry her with such a grand wedding! Fortunately, she had that experience with Li Zeng. If she could get pregnant, then...

She suddenly pulled her hand back, covered her mouth, retched and ran out.

Li Shi was ecstatic when he saw it. He was an experienced person and knew very well that this was a symptom of morning sickness.

"Doctor Guan, is she pregnant?" Li Shi looked at Doctor Guan expectantly.

Doctor Guan looked confused, "Uh...um...how long has the young lady been married?"

"It'll probably be only a month or so..."

"The baby is too young, I can't see you!" Doctor Guan waved his hand as he walked out, forgetting to ask for the consultation fee.

But the medical fee ended up in his hands by itself.

As soon as they went out, Yu Zihe stuffed some silver into his pocket and whispered, "Please bear with me, Doctor Guan!"

Doctor Guan was also a man who had seen the world. He figured out the pros and cons of the matter in a flash, so he nodded.

Just like that, Yu Zihe became pregnant.

In fact, Li Shi was not so worried about Li Zeng now that he had a daughter. But who could tell whether the baby in the belly was a boy or a girl? If he gave birth to a girl, wouldn't he be extinct? So he had to ask King Zunyi to help with the kidney problem.

Thinking of Prince Zunyi, Li Shi had a headache. If he was asked to take another 80,000 taels, that would cost him his life! Just when he was depressed, the Dali Temple brought good news.

Not good news, exactly.

"Sir Li, the woman who injured your master is of extraordinary status!" said the Dali Temple Secretary with a look of regret.

"Could she be a royal relative?" Li Shi chuckled. He sat in the position of the Minister of Works. He had seen those Miao people in the palace, but he had never heard of such a royal relative!

The Dali Temple Secretary looked embarrassed, "She is indeed a royal relative! You don't know, she is the princess of the Northland, and she is a cousin of the current queen!"

Li Shi panicked at first, then a wonderful idea came into his mind.

After seeing off the Dali Temple Secretary, he went straight to Prime Minister Jiang's residence.

The Princess of Beidi beat someone in the street, so she should give an explanation! He is a minister with little influence, but he and Prime Minister Jiang are cousins!

Prime Minister Jiang naturally wanted to protect his own people, and when he heard about Prince Zunyi's sky-high medical fees, he came up with an idea.

Even if the emperor cannot deal with the Princess of the North, he has to do something for diplomacy. If the emperor sends Prince Zunyi to treat Li Zeng, the consultation fees will definitely be waived.

So the two of them went to the palace to meet the emperor overnight.

After listening to their words, Chu Younan fell into deep thought. This matter is indeed difficult to resolve.

Li Shi added: "My son had invited Prince Zunyi to his residence to see a doctor before. At that time, it was because he was poisoned. Prince Zunyi said that the poison was not common and he had only seen two cases like this. I boldly speculate that the poison was given by this Princess of the North!"

He said this purely to divert Chu Younan's attention to King Zunyi.

Chu Younan nodded: "Tell Prince Zunyi to enter the palace!"
