"Your Majesty, I was very worried when I heard the news, so I came here to share your concerns. Please take care of your health."
Inside the main hall, where the atmosphere was already heated, Shen Hechuan felt annoyed upon hearing these words.
He turned Gu Jingchun over, knelt down, grabbed a vase from beside the bed, and smashed it against the door.
"Splash—"
A soft sound startled Jiang Chongfan, who was outside the door, and he quickly took a step back.
This completely masked Gu Jingchun's involuntary gasp due to his sudden movement.
Seeing this, Jiang Chongfan said no more, sighed, and returned to the Jiang residence.
Jiang Mansion.
Jiang Mingwan wore an apricot-yellow long dress today, with a butterfly hairpin in her hair, making her look exceptionally gentle and virtuous.
She specially prepared osmanthus tea for Jiang Chongfan today and brought it to him, only to see him return with a sigh.
"Grandfather, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Chongfan sighed, looking at Jiang Mingwan with deep remorse.
"Wan'er, I'm afraid I'll have to break my promise to you."
Jiang Mingwan immediately asked in surprise.
Why?
"But what happened?"
"Is it because Gu Jingchun is unwilling?"
“I went to see her before, and she swore that she would not allow His Majesty to have any woman other than her.”
However, this was merely her thought. If she were to actually become empress and prevent other women from entering the palace, wouldn't that be seen as a crime of jealousy, making her a laughingstock to everyone?
As Jiang Mingwan spoke, her voice was filled with more hatred.
"Grandfather, did she instigate His Majesty, which is why he acted this way?"
Jiang Chongfan shook his head and sighed.
"This matter has nothing to do with her."
"Then why is that?!"
"Grandfather, please tell me!"
Jiang Chongfan then sighed and told Jiang Mingwan everything that had happened at the morning court session.
Jiang Mingwan took a step back in surprise, looking at Jiang Chongfan in shock.
"So, Your Majesty is now... impotent?"
Jiang Chongfan nodded.
"Wan'er, your grandfather knows your feelings, but how can your grandfather bear to ruin your life!"
Jiang Mingwan slowly shook her head, her tone instantly becoming firm.
"No, Grandfather, Wan'er doesn't mind."
Now, it was Jiang Chongfan who was surprised.
"Do you know that if you enter the palace, you will live as a widow for the rest of your life?"
"Wan'er knows, but Wan'er doesn't mind."
"Moreover, Wan'er has also heard that if a man is impotent, it is mostly related to... a woman."
Perhaps, once Wan'er enters the palace, she can provoke His Majesty again; maybe then, His Majesty will be able to resist?
As Jiang Mingwan spoke, her face turned completely red.
But Jiang Chongfan, being an experienced person, understood that Jiang Mingwan's words made sense, so he nodded.
What you said... is also possible...
"However, we cannot rush this matter. Grandfather still needs to make more preparations. You should go back first. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely grant you your wish."
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another six months have passed.
Over the past six months, Gu Jingchun and Shen Hechuan's relationship has been stable and...sweet.
The two attended court together and handled government affairs together.
The officials gradually got used to Gu Jingchun's presence.
After all, Gu Jingchun rarely spoke, and the officials often forgot she was even there.
Little did they know that all of this was done by Gu Jingchun on purpose, just to lower the guard of the officials.
Because of Shen Hechuan's impotence, Gu Jingchun and Shen Hechuan finally had some peace and quiet.
However, this also brings new problems.
That means having to deal with all sorts of unqualified doctors that the Empress Dowager brings in from time to time.
However, Shen Hechuan was able to handle this situation.
However, at this time, there are always shameless people who will try to get close to Shen Hechuan.
On this day, Jiang Chongfan specially sought out a wandering doctor and boasted about her skills, especially her expertise in treating men's ailments.
They even found a local resident to act as a shill, praising the itinerant doctor's incredible abilities, which caused quite a stir among the people.
This naturally reached the ears of the Empress Dowager.
Upon learning of this, she immediately ordered someone to bring the itinerant doctor to the palace.
Upon seeing the Empress Dowager, the itinerant doctor understood that he was there to treat the Emperor, so he immediately knelt on the ground and said:
"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager."
"In fact, the imperial physicians in the palace must have all seen His Majesty's health."
Moreover, the medical skills of the imperial physicians are undoubtedly far superior to those of commoners, so even if one were to go and diagnose His Majesty, it would be of no use.
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager's expression changed.
She snorted coldly.
"In that case, you have no reason to live."
The itinerant doctor immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Your Majesty, have mercy! This humble subject...this humble subject has another folk method...I wonder if it will work..."
"speak!"
"In ordinary society, many men who are impotent do so because they are numb to life and have lost interest in their wives, which is why..."
"Therefore, I dare to guess that Your Majesty... is it for the same reason..."
"You bastard!"
The Empress Dowager shouted angrily.
"His Majesty is busy with countless affairs of state and is young and vigorous, while the Empress is as beautiful as a flower. How can they be compared to those ordinary men?"
The itinerant doctor knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, I don't understand these things either, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
However, I think that if there is an opportunity, it is not impossible to give this a try.
After all, men need more stimulation, especially new stimulation.
The Empress Dowager snorted coldly.
"Guards, take him away and send him out of the palace."
After everyone had left, the Empress Dowager sighed and fell into deep thought.
This method was so disgusting that she was resistant to it and absolutely did not want to try it.
She also understood that Shen Hechuan was not capable of doing such a thing.
Moreover, Shen Hechuan is already in this state and feels guilty towards Gu Jingchun. If she hurts Gu Jingchun's feelings because of this, then that would be her fault.
Seeing the Empress Dowager hesitate, Li, the old nanny beside her, advised, "Her Majesty the Empress is indeed good, but if His Majesty continues like this, it will likely affect the relationship between Her Majesty the Empress and His Majesty."
"If the Empress were to develop a dislike for His Majesty because of this, His Majesty would probably go mad!"
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager, who had been about to abandon the idea, suddenly looked up.
yes!
He Chuan likes Jing Chun so much, but if Jing Chun leaves him again because of this...
Shen Hechuan would probably go crazy!
With this in mind, the Empress Dowager made up her mind.
