"I'm not pretending to be deaf and dumb. I wanted to know Mingwei's situation in the first place, but I was afraid that Mingwei would feel bad if he knew it. So I never asked, but I can't never ask. Fortunately, Mingwei is in a much better mood now. I feel a lot more relieved too," Mei Ya said softly. While taking out the washed grapes and putting them on the table, she continued to talk to Gu Changlin, "Sir, I know you feel sorry for Mingwei and me. In fact, it's nothing. Who doesn't have their own problems? Since we have been hit by this, I won't blame others. I just want to know how to comfort Mingwei if he is sad because of this in the future."
"Ah!" Gu Changlin couldn't help but sigh, and patted Meiya's hand. "That boy is really lucky. He can marry a good girl like you!"
"Really? I think so too. Hehe," Mei Ya laughed. She ate a grape herself and passed another grape to him. "Sir, please eat your grapes."
"I'm old and can't eat sour food." Gu Changlin shook his head and put the grapes aside. He paused and continued, "Girl, Mingwei is not born with this condition. He was poisoned."
"What? Poisoned?" Mei Ya's whole body suddenly froze. She was so busy that she spat out the grapes in her mouth and stared at Gu Changlin, "What kind of poison? Is this... is this poison strong?"
"She was poisoned with a chronic poison from the Western Regions called Huanqingsan. It's not fatal and does no harm to the body," Gu Changlin looked at Mei Ya's pale face and quickly explained, "This is a poison used by the Western Regions court for palace fighting hundreds of years ago. It's colorless and odorless. Long-term use will cause men to lose their ability to inherit, but it has no effect on the body."
Mei Ya then let out a long breath and whispered, "I was wondering why he is over 30 years old and has no children. It turns out this is the reason."
"Yes, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace is over 30 years old and has no children. This is such a strange situation that no one in the capital mentioned it before," Gu Changlin curled his lips sarcastically, "It is really weird."
"Sir, do you know who poisoned Ming Wei?" Mei Ya frowned and asked Gu Changlin, "Ming Wei is the only legitimate son of the empress, and later the crown prince of the Eastern Palace. Who on earth was so ambitious and bold as to poison him?!"
"Yes, the one who dared to poison him must have been very brave," Gu Changlin said softly, and added, "And Ming Wei had been poisoned for at least ten years, which means that he was poisoned when he married Crown Princess Ding. And from then until Ming Wei was deposed, the poisoning never stopped, so that..." At this point, Gu Changlin could not help but sigh, and then blamed himself, "The poison was so severe that I didn't even have any way to remedy it. Alas! It's also my incompetence."
"Sir, please stop saying that. We all see how you treat Mingwei. Mingwei doesn't say it, but he is grateful to you in his heart. Sir, I am grateful to you too. You are a great benefactor to Mingwei and me." Mei Ya hurriedly pulled Gu Changlin's hand and said. She was really grateful to Gu Changlin. Not only did he cure Mingwei's leg injury and enable Mingwei to stand up again, but he also brought hope to Mingwei. To her, Gu Changlin was not only a doctor who saved the dying and the wounded, but also an elder she could trust and rely on. No matter in the past or now, Gu Changlin was a very special existence in her heart. This old man who was always kind to her, this old man who patiently explained to her what daughter red wine was, she really liked and respected him.
Gu Changlin looked into Meiya's eyes and knew that she was grateful to him from the bottom of her heart. Because of this, Gu Changlin felt uncomfortable. He patted Meiya's hand and said in a deep voice: "Although I can't cure Mingwei, fortunately, you two support each other, which is the most important thing."
"Yes, sir, you are right. I will treat Ming Wei well in my life," Mei Ya nodded, sighed, and leaned on the table, saying softly, "Sir, you don't know, every time I think of Ming Wei's past, my heart feels like it is stabbed by needles. Ming Wei lost his mother when he was young, the emperor didn't like him, and the queen mother was always so high and mighty. He grew up so pitifully and alone, without a single bit of joy. He had to face either calculations or jealousy every day. Later, he finally grew up safely and became the crown prince of the East Palace, but he was... poisoned and ended up without an heir for the rest of his life. Then, the king got angry and he became a paraplegic. Sir, how did Ming Wei survive all these years?"
