Please ask the gods.
Fang Yuanchao was carried back to the Fang residence by the people he brought with him.
After seeing Fang Yuanchao in this state and hearing the servants' exaggerated accounts, Zhao Shi directly blamed Xie Sili and vowed to make her pay the price.
"Mother...save your child." Fang Yuanchao felt something strange coming from his body and reached out to grab Zhao Shi's clothes.
As someone with experience, Zhao keenly noticed the unusual behavior of Fang Yuanchao.
On the one hand, she sent someone to fetch a doctor, and on the other hand, she immediately ordered the servants to carry him back to the courtyard.
Fang Yuanchao's courtyard was located in the most open and well-lit part of the Fang family estate. His courtyard was also quite luxurious, and each room housed a girl he had abducted.
Seeing Fang Yuanchao's pained state, Zhao immediately ordered several of Fang Yuanchao's concubines to go in and take care of him personally.
Despite the constant noises inside the room, Zhao Shi paced back and forth outside the room with a furrowed brow, her expression growing increasingly hostile.
Seeing the doctor enter the courtyard, Zhao quickly went to greet him, "Doctor Li, you've come." She sighed softly, "Chao'er has been taken advantage of by someone else, and it hasn't stopped yet. What should we do?"
Doctor Li was a middle-aged man and a doctor regularly used by the Fang family. He stroked his beard and looked at Madam Zhao. "Madam, please don't worry. Let me go and take a look."
Doctor Li nodded to Zhao and stepped forward to open the door.
The disheveled clothes and the mingled smells in the room made Doctor Li cover his mouth and nose in disgust.
He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Fang Yuanchao hunting like a hungry beast, showing no sign of stopping and completely disregarding the life or death of the person beneath him.
Dr. Li glanced at it briefly before rushing out of the room in a panic.
"Dr. Li, what should we do about my son?" Zhao asked anxiously. "How can we alleviate his pain?"
Noticing Doctor Li's gaze, Madam Zhao continued, "Is there no hope for my son?"
“Madam, I can only say that I cannot cure the poison your son has been afflicted with.” He sighed softly. “Madam, you should seek out a more skilled doctor, or perhaps ask the person who poisoned him to examine your son. There might still be hope.”
He didn't give Zhao a chance to speak before turning around and leaving, glancing at her as he went.
After Doctor Li left, Madam Zhao looked displeased, but the doctors who came next all said that Fang Yuanchao's poison was incurable.
Fang Yuanchao's current state can only be one of two things: either he will die, or he will be unable to have sex for the rest of his life after the detoxification.
"Dr. Liu, is it really true that the medicine is ineffective?" Zhao Shi said nervously, pulling at the departing Dr. Liu. "I only have this one son, you must help me..."
"Madam, it's not that I don't want to save you, it's that I can't." Doctor Liu shook his head helplessly. "However, if you can get a doctor from Baozhilin to take a look at you, there might still be a glimmer of hope."
Having said all he could say, Doctor Liu bowed to Madam Zhao and then turned to leave.
Upon returning to his residence and hearing about Fang Yuanchao's affairs, Fang Ye immediately went to his courtyard, only to find not only foul noises but also Zhao Shi sitting there with a distressed expression.
"Madam, what has happened?" Fang Ye stepped forward and asked with concern, "It's not a good thing to indulge in debauchery in broad daylight. Why are you still sitting here?"
"Master, you don't know this, but I just heard from the servants that Chao'er offended a girl named 'Si Li' when he went out today, and he came back looking like this. Master, you must make sure Chao'er gets justice!" Zhao Shi cried as she spoke. "Chao'er is our only son. What will we do if something happens to him?"
Fang Ye's eyes darkened, a glint of something else flashing in them. "Don't worry, Madam, I will definitely stand up for A-Chao in this matter."
After calming Zhao down, he went to Fang Yuanchao's room.
The atmosphere in the room grew stronger, but he still showed no sign of stopping.
Fang walked up to Fang Yuanchao and knocked him unconscious with a single chop to the neck.
Looking at the disheveled concubines, Fang Ye glanced at them with a dark expression and said, "Get out."
Fang Ye invited Physician Hu, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, to examine Fang Yuanchao, but even Physician Hu, as the head of the academy, was helpless.
"Lord Fang, it's not that I don't want to treat him, it's just that I don't know where to begin," Physician Hu said, shaking his head at Fang Ye.
"Doctor Hu doesn't know what kind of poison this is either?" Fang Ye's expression was slightly tense. "If we need help, Doctor Hu will require money..."
"Lord Fang," Physician Hu interrupted Fang Ye, "After all this ordeal, even if your son can be detoxified, he will be unable to have children, and will be unable to reproduce from now on." He was unwilling to deceive Fang Ye and told him the worst possible situation directly.
"If Lord Fang really wants to detoxify, there is a way."
Fang Ye, as if seeing a glimmer of hope, quickly asked, "Is there any way?"
"Making your son a eunuch is the only solution," Physician Hu suggested calmly, glancing at Fang Ye.
Fang Ye subconsciously took a step back, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Physician Hu's voice continue, "Of course, if we can find an antidote before your son becomes a eunuch, it might be able to alleviate the problem, but your Fang family is destined to have no descendants."
After bowing to Fang Ye, Physician Hu turned and left.
When Fang Ye returned to the room, Fang Yuanchao was lying on the bed, and the strangeness on his body reappeared.
Fang Yuanchao was his only son, and he couldn't bear to watch his own son perish here.
He then instructed his other concubines to go in and take care of Fang Yuanchao before going to inquire about what had happened that day and where the person responsible for the incident was.
I learned from the servants that Fang Yuanchao offended a girl named Si Li today, and she has now been taken away and imprisoned by the people of the Jingzhao Yin.
"Husband, where are you going? What about Chao'er?" Zhao asked with concern as she looked at Fang Ye, who appeared at the door. "Chao'er is our only son. If anything happens to him, I will make that girl pay a thousandfold."
A ruthless glint flashed in Fang Ye's eyes. "Madam, rest assured, I will make those who hurt A-Chao pay a terrible price! I will make them A-Chao's dog!"
Seeing that Zhao's mood had improved considerably, Fang Ye continued, "Madam, please rest well. We will definitely give you an explanation about this matter in due time."
At this moment, inside the Jingzhao Yamen (the government office of the capital).
Lu Shiyuan was reviewing case files in the office. Since he took office as the Prefect of the Capital, he could say that he had not disappointed the people. All the old cases had been dealt with one by one according to the year. Only a small number of cases whose files could not be accessed had not yet been resolved.
The Jingzhao Yamen (京兆衙门) existed to help the people of Chang'an seek justice and stand up for themselves.
He did not participate in any factional struggles in the imperial court, and because he was upright, honest and incorruptible, he was also known as "Lord Qingtian" by the people of Chang'an.
He was a renowned upright official, widely praised by the people.
"Sir, I just heard from the constables down below that another person has been arrested." The middle-aged man who hurried forward wiped away non-existent sweat from his forehead.
Lu Shiyuan turned to look at Prefect Cheng, who hadn't put down the dossier, his expression calm. "Tell me what happened?"
"It's that young master Fang. I heard he met a girl he liked while eating at a restaurant today. The girl resisted him to the death, and when he tried to force himself on her, her maternal grandfather stepped forward to protect her and fell from the fourth floor. When the girl tried to jump, she was saved by another girl."
As Lu Shiyuan flipped through the files without changing his expression, Prefect Cheng continued, "Young Master Fang took a fancy to the girl who saved him, but she beat him up. Now Young Master Fang has been carried back to the Fang residence, and the girl has been captured by our men."
After Lu Shiyuan finished reading the remaining contents of the dossier, he closed it and looked up at Prefect Cheng. "So, according to Prefect Cheng, what should we do?"
"Lord Lu, why don't you ask what the girl who saved the person's name is?" Judge Cheng asked, glancing at Lu Shiyuan.
Noticing Lu Shiyuan's gaze, Prefect Cheng continued, "The young lady's name is Si Li, and she is currently being held in prison."
As soon as Prefect Cheng finished speaking, he saw the dossier in Lu Shiyuan's hand fall to the ground. He steadied himself and asked incredulously, "Who did you say that girl was?"
Looking at Lu Shiyuan's appearance, Judge Cheng sighed, "It's just that, young lady. You came to Chang'an and were still caught and thrown into prison by those blind people."
Lu Shiyuan quickly shoved the dossier into the cabinet next to him, turned to look at Prefect Cheng, his face unfriendly, "You, Cheng Yunfan, you only came to inform me now that the girl has been arrested."
Cheng Yunfan glanced at Lu Shiyuan but didn't say anything.
Lu Shiyuan snorted coldly and was about to go to the prison to visit Xie Sili when he heard the yamen runners outside say that the Grand Secretary Fang had arrived.
"It seems Lord Fang is also aware that the prisoner is being held in jail." Cheng Yunfan glanced at Lu Shiyuan. "Lord Lu, what should we do now?"
Lu Shiyuan straightened his clothes, glanced at Cheng Yunfan, and his face returned to its previous cold and indifferent expression.
As he led Cheng Yunfan outside, they ran into Fang Ye, who was coming from the opposite direction.
"I wonder what brings Lord Fang here?" Lu Shiyuan stood in front of Fang Ye and met his gaze.
"Lord Lu, I heard that the yamen arrested a young lady today. I wonder if you could hand her over to me?" Fang Ye said politely, but his gaze toward Lu Shiyuan revealed a hint of contempt.
"Does Lord Fang intend to indiscriminately kill innocent people and disregard human life?" Lu Shiyuan retorted without any politeness. "Since you have entered my yamen, even if you have made a mistake, I will personally interrogate you. Why bother Lord Fang to do it?" His words clearly showed that he did not take Fang Ye seriously.
"Lord Lu has a good temper. Are you sure you want to be enemies with the Fang and Zhao families?" Fang Ye's words contained a subtle threat.
As Lu Shiyuan listened to his words, he straightened his clothes and met his gaze. "I, Lu Shiyuan, am fortunate to have the trust of the current emperor and serve as the Prefect of the Capital, in charge of matters related to the capital region of Chang'an."
"What I'm doing is bound to offend people, and you, Lord Fang, aren't the only one I've offended. If everyone fears someone from a powerful and noble family like you, how can I possibly have the face to hold this position of Prefect of the Capital?"
He didn't give Fang Ye a chance to speak and continued, "Lord Fang, don't blame me for not taking you seriously. After all, someone like you isn't worthy."
"Lu Shiyuan!" Fang Ye looked at Lu Shiyuan with a gloomy expression, almost gritting his teeth as he spoke, "I will not let you go!"
Lu Shiyuan bowed to Fang Ye, "Then I'll wait and see that Lord Fang won't let me off the hook."
"I wonder how Lord Fang plans to punish Lord Lu? Would you be so kind as to inform me?"
The two turned their heads at the same time and saw a figure appear in front of them.
