Chapter 144: Only know how to kiss, not how to have sex
It turns out that he doesn't want to sleep with his wife.
Prince Duan breathed a sigh of relief, but didn't understand what he meant. He asked, "Your Majesty, why can I repay you by having a baby with the princess?"
Murong Jin said, "Go and give birth. If you can't, you and your princess can forget about eating beef offal!"
Prince Duan was stunned for a moment and saw Murong Jin had already stood up and was about to leave.
He was anxious and said quickly: "But, but..."
"No buts!" Murong Jin stared at him sinisterly. "If you can't give birth this year, forget about eating beef offal. If you can't give birth the following year, forget about eating meat buns either!"
Prince Duan was frightened and dared not speak. He could only watch Murong Jin wave his sleeves and leave.
Prince Duan stood in the hall for a while before walking out dejectedly.
The driver stopped the carriage beside the beef offal shop and turned to call out to the carriage, "Your Highness, we've arrived at the beef offal shop."
There was no sound inside.
The coachman was puzzled. In the past, the prince would come out impatiently without waiting for his reminder. Why was he acting abnormally today?
He called out twice more, opened the curtain, and saw his fat prince wiping his tears.
The driver hurriedly asked, "Why are you crying, Your Majesty? Are you feeling unwell?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't asked. Once he did, Prince Duan felt even more aggrieved and burst into tears: "My princess and I can no longer eat beef offal, not even meat buns..."
"Ah?" the driver asked, "Has your salary for this month run out?"
Prince Duan only had one mansion and a monthly salary of twenty taels of silver.
He did not know how to run a business, nor did he, like other royal relatives, buy houses and shops to increase revenue.
I can only rely on this salary every month.
However, twenty taels is not a small amount. There are not many servants in the palace, and there is no need to socialize or make friends with anyone. It is enough for eating and drinking with the princess every month.
I've never heard him mention that he didn't have enough money before, so why is he crying today?
The driver was puzzled, and Prince Duan didn't dare to tell him that the emperor asked him to have a baby. After crying for a while, he got off the car and bought ten servings of beef offal.
He came back late today and the princess had already gotten up.
Currently playing in the snow with the maid in the backyard.
She squatted there like a round snowman.
Prince Duan felt better. He sniffed and walked over and said, "Wife, I'm back."
The princess quickly threw the snowball in her hand away, stood up happily, rubbed her hands on herself before pulling his hand: "Why are you back so late? I've been up for a while. It just snowed. Are you cold?"
Prince Duan Qiang smiled and said, "It's not cold. I bought a lot of beef offal today. You can eat as much as you want. We can have two meals together."
He took the princess into the house.
The princess was delighted to see the delicious beef offal on the round table. She walked over, opened a portion, and handed it to Prince Duan first before opening her own. She took a big bite of the hot beef offal, squinting her eyes in satisfaction. "It smells so good, so delicious! Why did you buy so much today?"
For the first time, Prince Duan showed little interest in the food. He ate some beef offal and said, "It's the first snow today..."
The princess finally noticed that something was wrong with him. She put down her chopsticks and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you sick? Why don't you want to eat beef offal?"
Prince Duan didn't want her to lose her appetite, so he lied and said, "I ate too much in the palace. You can eat my share too. I'm going out for a walk to help digest the food."
The princess didn't doubt it, she responded and happily took his share.
Prince Duan was walking back and forth in the yard, not knowing what to do, when the servant came with Qichuan.
"Your Majesty, Master Qi is here to see you."
Qichuan had a day off today, so he bought a lot of food and came to visit Prince Duan. Unexpectedly, the usually cheerful prince looked dejected and listless.
Qi Chuan handed the gift to the servant, walked over and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Have you encountered any difficulties?"
Prince Duan had been holding it in for a long time. Qi Chuan was now a member of the Imperial Guard and a close friend, so he finally couldn't help but speak out: "Today, His Majesty summoned me and told me to have a baby with the princess. If I can't have one, I won't be able to eat beef offal. If I can't have one, I won't be able to eat meat buns either."
As he spoke, sorrow and grievance surged in his heart and he wanted to cry again.
"This..." Qichuan also didn't understand why the emperor suddenly wanted Prince Duan to have a baby, but since the emperor said so, there must be a reason.
No matter what others say, Qichuan is absolutely obedient and loyal to the emperor, just because he helped him avenge his revenge!
He patted Prince Duan and asked, "Your Majesty, there must be a deep meaning behind this. Don't the prince and princess want to have children?"
Prince Duan cried, "Who said we don't want to have a baby? We can't have one!"
He felt even more aggrieved: "Your Majesty doesn't listen to me. We just can't have a baby, even if we kill ourselves. The princess and I have no other options!"
Qikawa:…………
He actually forgot about this.
Although Prince Duan and his wife have been married for only a few years, they are very much in love. However, the wife's belly has not moved. This is indeed...
He thought for a moment and asked, "Has the prince asked a doctor to see him?"
Prince Duan said, "I saw him once. The doctor said a lot of things that we couldn't understand. He also prescribed a lot of medicine. The princess and I drank it together and both of us had stomach problems."
"Drank my stomach!"
It sounds like he is a quack. Maybe he sees that the prince and princess have no one to support them, so he deliberately bullies them.
Qi Chuan frowned and asked, "Did the prince and princess still feel unwell?"
Prince Duan shook his head. "Afterwards, it was nothing serious. But my princess was afraid, so she didn't see a doctor again."
Qi Chuan nodded: "Your Highness, do you still remember the doctor's name and where he lives?"
Prince Duan thought for a moment and shook his head: "I don't remember."
Qi Chuan was not surprised and advised, "Even if it's not because of Your Majesty, you should still find a doctor to see. Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will handle this matter. Once I find out what happened, I will report back to Your Majesty. Your Majesty will definitely not make things difficult for you after knowing it."
He was so reliable that Prince Duan felt relieved and said gratefully, "You are the best."
Qi Chuan couldn't help but laugh: "Your Highness is even better. Your Highness, please go back to the house. It's cold outside and you won't catch a cold."
"Oh." Prince Duan responded and turned around and went back obediently, his back looking much more relaxed.
Qi Chuan went to find the housekeeper and asked, "Did the prince ask a doctor to look after his offspring earlier?"
Although the steward was elderly and quite ordinary, he was still an ordinary person with an ordinary memory. Prince Duan rarely called for a doctor, so after Qi Chuan's suggestion, he pondered for a moment and then remembered, "Yes, I did. I remember it was the doctor at Dongsheng Pharmacy at the west entrance of Dongjiaomin Lane. His name was... Liu Sheng. Yes, Liu Sheng! This man was wicked. He prescribed a lot of medicine and charged Prince Duan a full eight taels of silver! If the medicine worked, it would be fine. If not, you wouldn't have done anything wrong. But after the prince and princess took it, they had diarrhea for seven or eight days straight. They both lost a lot of weight. It took them six months to recover!"
Qi Chuan frowned and asked, "Didn't you go find him?"
The housekeeper said, "Of course I didn't go. I went there with my servants, but Liu Sheng refused to admit it and even accused me of bullying. I couldn't argue with him, and I didn't dare to smash his shop. As you know, our prince would have to pay compensation if he smashed it. Alas, in the end, it was just a matter of letting it go."
Qi Chuan nodded: "I understand."
After he said this, he left the palace and went straight to Dongjiaomin Lane.
Dongjiaomin Lane is well connected and is a bustling area.
The Dongsheng Pharmacy was located on the side of the street. It had a large storefront, but not many people were around. The people sitting in the shop and getting medicine were all dozing off.
It can be seen that everyone around knows that this pharmacy is not a good thing.
Qi Chuan was already standing in the hall, but these people didn't notice him. He walked up to the doctor sitting in the hall and knocked on the table with his hand.
The man shuddered, opened his eyes, and seeing the person coming, he immediately straightened up and asked, "Where does it hurt?"
Qi Chuan said, "I only trust Liu Sheng, Doctor Liu. Are you Doctor Liu?"
Liu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed complacently: "Since you trust me, how can you not recognize me when I'm sitting right in front of you?"
Qi Chuan punched him in the face.
Liu Sheng was immediately knocked to the ground. He screamed and tried to get up, but Qi Chuan's fist came like a storm again.
The guy who dispensed the medicine was so scared that he ran away.
Qichuan ignored his men and focused on beating Liu Sheng.
He didn't stop until he had beaten the man into a pig's head. He grabbed his collar and lifted him up like a noodle. "Let me ask you, how did you treat Prince Duan and his wife at Prince Duan's mansion? What illnesses did they have that required so much medicine and diarrhea for seven or eight days?"
Liu Sheng was already on the verge of death. Hearing this, he realized why he had been beaten. He spat out blood and begged for mercy, "Please, please spare my life, my dear. I was, I was bewitched at that time, and that's why... Now I know... I was wrong. I will return the silver right now. I only beg, please, spare my life..."
Qi Chuan had been a Jinyiwei for a few months and had become much more ruthless. Upon hearing this, he punched him in the face again: "Bitch, you bully two mentally retarded people, people like you really deserve to die!"
Liu Sheng sensed his murderous intent, his crotch wet, and he was so frightened that he peed himself. His words became smoother: "Don't, don't kill me, my dear man. I cheated the prince and princess out of their money, but I didn't mean to bully them. I, I'm like this to everyone I see, and I really want to treat the prince and princess. As long as they come to me again, I will definitely be able to cure their illness. I didn't expect the palace steward to come over and scold me. I'm in a dilemma..."
Qi Chuan grasped the key point and asked, "Can you cure the prince and princess? What are their illnesses?"
At this moment, Liu Sheng dared not hide anything and immediately said, "It's not a disease, it's not a disease. The prince and princess are simple-minded and have never had sex. It's natural, natural..."
Qikawa:…………
He was a little dumbfounded.
This is the reason.
But think about it, the prince only has a housekeeper and a few servants around him, and they, as servants, can't possibly tell such things to their master.
Another thing is that although Prince Duan is dull, he is already so old. When he was a prince in the palace, he must have been taught by the nannies. No one expected that he didn't know how to do it.
As for the princess, her intelligence is not even as good as that of Prince Duan. No one pays attention to her in her natal family. She is thrown to the prince's palace like a burden, and is rarely cared about.
Naturally, no one taught her.
Qichuan shook his head in his heart, left Liu Sheng behind, warned him, took another eight taels of silver, and then returned to Prince Duan's Mansion.
"You're back."
Prince Duan looked behind Qichuan and didn't see the doctor. He couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you call the doctor?"
"No need for a doctor." Qi Chuan gave him eight taels of silver. "I beat up that black-hearted doctor and got the money back. Your Highness, take it."
He took out a booklet from his pocket and said with a dry cough, "Your Highness, please take a look."
Prince Duan was very surprised to see that he was able to get the silver back, but he was also a little scared as he held the silver and the book in his hand: "If you hit someone, what if he reports it to the authorities? I haven't given birth to a child for His Majesty yet. I don't know if His Majesty will still help us this time."
What does it mean to give birth to a baby for His Majesty?
Qi Chuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "It's okay, Your Majesty, have you forgotten that I am now a Jinyiwei? Let alone a black-hearted doctor, I would beat him even if he was a black-hearted minister."
Only then did Prince Duan remember his identity as a Jinyiwei, and he felt much more at ease and happily put the silver away.
Qi Chuan said, "Well, Your Majesty, please take a look at the booklet."
"Oh." Prince Duan happily opened the booklet, then his face suddenly changed, and he threw the booklet away as if his hand had been bitten. "What is that thing? Why are they strung together? It's terrible!"
Qikawa:......
He opened his mouth, but facing the innocent face of Prince Duan, he really couldn't say anything. After a long pause, he could only say: "Doing this will help you have a baby."
Prince Duan looked disgusted and disbelieving.
Qichuan didn't know what to say.
In fact, he had never done it, but he had heard people talk about it before. Although he knew what was written in the book, he had no idea what was really going on.
In the end, he had no choice but to go out and find a matchmaker, spend some money, bring her to the palace, and let her take lessons with Prince Duan and the Princess.
Prince Duan and the Princess were like two innocent little animals. Qi Chuan didn't dare to listen to the class next to them, so he found an excuse to go out.
This is what a matchmaker does, but she doesn't care about anything else and just holds the booklet and talks a lot.
Prince Duan and his wife did not have the same sense of shame as Qichuan. After they figured out what was going on, although they still thought it was ugly, they tried it that night in order to be able to eat beef offal and meat buns in the future.
Qichuan provided enough money, and the matchmaker was quite kind. She not only gave him lessons, but also waited outside at night.
At least nothing went wrong.
The next day, after hearing the matchmaker's good news, Qichuan finally felt relieved. He gave the housekeeper a few words, left the palace, and headed towards the Northern Pacification Office.
We passed by the Dongsheng Pharmacy on the way.
I saw that it was closed.
A few women gathered together to gossip.
"Hey, why is this pharmacy closed?"
"I heard that Liu Sheng was beaten up yesterday. Tsk, most of his teeth were knocked out. He's half dead. He must be shut up to treat his illness."
"Bah, he deserves it! This black-hearted bastard has harmed so many people. Just because he has someone behind him, he's been running rampant. Now he's finally met a tough opponent and fallen. It's really satisfying."
"Who said it wasn't true? This bastard broke my father-in-law's leg. He had been asking for help but had nowhere to turn. Today, he finally got some revenge. I just don't know who the person who beat him up is. If he doesn't have someone to back him up, that black-hearted bastard will definitely cause trouble for him once he gets back..."
