The Crown Prince's words were so shocking that Suo'etu didn't immediately understand what he meant. Who can't be near women? Who can't have children?
Soetu thought for a moment, then looked at the Crown Prince in disbelief. Could it be what he had guessed?
"Your Highness... Your Highness!" Soetu's voice trembled slightly. "Who are you talking about?"
"What do you think? I am the Crown Prince of the Great Qing, not a spy. If it were you, would you let others know about such a secret matter?" the Crown Prince asked in return.
Upon hearing this, Suo'etu's face turned ashen, and he slumped into his seat. If the Crown Prince could not produce an heir, the Emperor, for the sake of the country, would have no choice but to abolish the Crown Prince's status, even if he loved him dearly.
The Crown Prince was not only the heir apparent of the Qing Dynasty, but also the hope of the Heseri clan. Now that the Crown Prince had been deposed, what hope did the Heseri clan have left?
"Your Highness, this is no laughing matter. Are you sure?" Soetu asked, still unwilling to give up. Moreover, he felt that the Crown Prince's reaction was too calm. Did the Crown Prince really not care about the position of Crown Prince?
"Do you think I would joke about something like this?" the Crown Prince said with a sneer. "Do you remember when Father Emperor let me rest for a while?"
Soetu nodded. He remembered that the Emperor had said the Crown Prince was exhausted during that period, and he had sent a lot of tonics to Yuqing Palace!
"That's the real reason. Only Father Emperor, Imperial Physician Liu, and I know about this. Even Liang Jiugong doesn't know!"
The Emperor already knows? Suo'etu felt that the Crown Prince shouldn't have told the Emperor about this. If he hadn't, there would still have been room for maneuver.
"Your Highness, you are still too young. You should discuss this matter with me first. Perhaps I can help you think of a solution."
"Now that the Emperor knows, we can't do anything!" Soetu said with great regret.
"What can you do?" The Crown Prince knew that Suo'etu would only offer him unorthodox methods.
"Your Highness, rest assured, this servant will find someone who can cure your illness, no matter the cost!" Suo'etu refused to believe that there were no capable people in the world!
"It's not that I can't get close to all women. There is one person I can get close to!" The Crown Prince said this when he saw that Suo'etu was really worried. Only in this way would Suo'etu dare not have any more thoughts of killing He Xue.
"Who?" Soetu was like a drowning man grasping at a straw, instantly feeling a glimmer of hope.
"Hexue!"
"He Xue?" Soetu looked at the Crown Prince suspiciously. Could the Crown Prince be making up such an excuse to prevent him from touching He Xue?
“Your Highness, if you say that, this servant has some doubts about what you are saying!” Soetu said with a smile.
Suo'etu now felt that the Crown Prince was deliberately saying this for He Xue's sake. He never expected that the Crown Prince was truly so deeply in love with He Xue. If that was the case, then He Xue really couldn't be kept alive.
"Since you don't believe me, go and find two maids!" the Crown Prince said to Suo'etu.
After hesitating for a moment, Suo'etu went to find someone himself; he had to find out whether this matter was true or false.
Soon after, Soetu entered with two well-dressed and pretty maids, who were carrying tea and snacks.
Of course, Songgotu couldn't just bring the person directly to the Crown Prince; he had to come up with a reason.
"Your Highness, please try some of the pastries from my residence. I wonder if they suit your taste!" Soetu said to the Crown Prince, then gestured to a maid to bring the pastries to the Crown Prince.
"Your Highness, if we are chosen by Your Highness, we will no longer have to be servants!" The Crown Prince overheard the two maids' thoughts.
The prince felt that all women who saw him were like cats seeing fish or flies seeing... well, they weren't attracted to him as a person, but rather to his status as the prince.
The prince felt that nausea rising again; he felt his face must be pale and his body weak.
Soetu kept watching the Crown Prince's reaction. Sure enough, when the two maids approached the Crown Prince, his entire demeanor changed, and his face grew increasingly pale.
Suo'etu dared not continue testing the waters; what if he tried and accidentally killed the crown prince?
Soetu went directly to the Crown Prince, separated him from the two maids, and said, "This is none of your business, go away!"
The two maids left with reluctance on their faces.
"Your Highness, how are you? Do you need a doctor?" Soetu asked, noticing that the Crown Prince did not look well.
