Chu Yujie lowered his head and met the little prince's concerned eyes, and a trace of bitterness filled his heart again.
What a good child...
At such a young age, he was so smart and sensible, knew how to avoid suspicion and not listen to other people's secrets, and knew how to care about the teacher. He dreamed of having a child like this...
However, it is ultimately a luxury in this life.
A child is a fate he couldn't ask for.
He tried hard to suppress the soreness in his throat and said softly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. The teacher is fine. It's just a minor problem, not painful or itchy. It won't affect the teacher's daily life. Don't worry, Your Highness."
Feng Yuxiao breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
He smiled brightly, "I'm glad you're alright, Teacher! A royal physician can't be so accurate in treating illnesses like this. After you leave the palace, go find another doctor, or maybe a few more. By then, you won't even have a minor illness!"
Chu Yujie nodded and smiled, "Okay, thank you, Your Highness. I will definitely find another doctor to take a look."
Even if the little prince didn't say anything, he would still find another doctor to see him after he returned.
Because, just yesterday, the Emperor had named him a candidate for a consort, and today, the imperial physician came to diagnose him and said he was infertile. It was hard for him not to think of a conspiracy...
Maybe the emperor asked the imperial physician to say this on purpose so that he could wait for the little princess to grow up alone?
Regardless of whether he was judging others by his own standards, he had to go find a doctor again, as this was related to his entire life.
He adjusted his mood and took the little prince back to the study to continue teaching.
When Unisan left the study and walked a short distance, he saw the emperor and empress holding hands and walking the little princess's goose. They were so loving and affectionate that others were envious.
Looking at the emperor's back, Unisan paused.
The emperor had previously specifically instructed him to check Mr. Chu to see if he had any hidden illness. Now that he has found out, should he report the matter truthfully to the emperor?
If you don't report to the emperor honestly, you are deceiving him...
But if he told the truth, wouldn't he be breaking his promise to Mr. Chu? He had promised Mr. Chu not to tell anyone about this private matter.
Just when Unisang was worried, Feng Changye looked back.
Feng Changye naturally heard Unisang's thoughts.
He raised his eyebrows slightly.
Tsk, it seems there's no need to ask. Historically, Chu Yujie and his wife had no children. It wasn't the girl's fault, but Chu Yujie had a physical problem and couldn't have children...
In fact, if you think about it in light of Chu Yujie's life, this is quite normal.
How could a young man, bought by a wealthy master as a young boy and raised as a prostitute in his backyard, be treated well by his master? Naturally, he'd been fed drugs that destroyed his body, cruelly severing his ability to function as a normal man, so that he'd give up struggling when he grew up due to this hidden illness...
It's so pitiful and sad.
But it doesn't matter, Chu Yujie has been very unlucky in history. But now he has met their family, this is Chu Yujie's turning point, Chu Yujie's luck!
If Chu Yujie becomes their son-in-law in the future and treats their Aqiong well, he and Huanhuan would not mind buying some panacea for their son-in-law.
Thinking of this, Feng Changye looked in a very good mood at Unisang who had walked up to him and knelt down to kowtow.
Without waiting for Unisang to greet him, he said, "Okay, leave now. There's no need to say anything."
Unisan looked up at him in surprise.
He glared at Unisang and said, "Look at the way you can't hide things. I already know the result. There's no need to ask you anymore."
"Your Majesty is wise. I will take my leave."
Unisan glanced at the emperor with a bitter face and retreated dejectedly.
Woo woo woo, it's so hard for him. He promised Mr. Chu not to tell anyone, but the emperor still guessed it. He feels sorry for Mr. Chu. Is his expression so easy to guess?
He had just taken two steps when he heard the emperor behind him suddenly ask, "Unisang, you are not young anymore, why haven't you gotten married yet?"
He stopped and looked back at the emperor in surprise.
It’s strange, why does the emperor suddenly care about his marriage?
Feng Changye glanced at him with a half-smile, "Why are you so surprised? You and Hazibolie are both cousins of the Queen, and you've both been delayed in getting married. Is it strange that I'm asking you one more question?"
Zhu Wuhuan also withdrew his gaze from Aqiong and looked at Wunisan with a smile, "Yes, you are my cousin. Talk to the emperor and me, why don't you get married?"
Unisang quickly bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and Your Majesty, for your concern. I am so honored!"
After thanking him, he continued, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am already twenty-one years old and I also want to get married! But I haven't met the right person, and I'm so sad!"
He looked at Feng Changye bitterly, "I am a surrendered minister of the Western Yuan Dynasty. My status is sensitive. None of those beautiful women want to marry me. I sent people to propose marriage, but their families all backed away, treating me like a plague... As for those with bad reputations, ugly looks, and poor family backgrounds, their families are willing to associate with me, but I feel that I was once a dignified prince after all, and marrying them is really a bit unfair..."
At this point, he was afraid that Feng Changye would think he was too picky, so he hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, please don't scold me first. It's not that I'm picky! The families I've proposed to are all officials of the sixth or seventh rank or reputable merchants. I'm your imperial physician, and I'm of the sixth rank. Marrying into the family of a sixth or seventh rank official is considered a good match, right? However, they all declined me..."
He sounded very aggrieved. "Only those families whose entire family is worthless and who have to sell their daughters to survive. Or those families whose daughters are not pretty and no one wants to marry them, or those families whose daughters have had an affair out of wedlock and have lost their reputation, are willing to pay attention to me..."
He took a deep breath and looked at Feng Changye and Zhu Wuhuan with red eyes. "But no matter how incompetent I am, I won't live with a woman like this for the rest of my life, Your Majesty, don't you agree? If I have to endure this kind of hardship, I might as well live alone..."
Then, he knelt down and kowtowed to them, begging, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, since you have asked me today, I would like to ask you to help me. I also want to get married, but I have no way to do so!"
Feng Changye didn't expect that there was such a sad reason why this guy hadn't gotten married yet.
He and Zhu Wuhuan looked at each other, and for a moment they both felt particularly sympathetic towards this guy.
In history, the imperial physician Unisang, who relied on his relationship with Princess Ruoshui to gain the favor of the new emperor Feng Changjin and often went in and out of the ministers' houses in a grand manner, was a romantic figure who cuckolded countless ministers and made them suffer in silence!
But what about now?
Not only was he unable to hook up with the beautiful ladies from the ministers' families, but even marrying a wife was looked down upon. Even with such low standards, no one was willing to marry him...
It’s really the wheel of fate.
