"Qingcheng, come, pour me some wine!" Jin Yuqi looked at his somewhat reserved wife. He was not a tiger. Was he that scary? Why didn't she take the initiative towards him like other women? The more she dodged, the more he wanted to attack.
Qingcheng poured wine for him.
Jin Yuqi suddenly grabbed her left hand tightly.""Guess what I was thinking?"
"Your Highness, please have some self-respect!" Qingcheng wanted to pull her hand back as she spoke, but he was holding on so tightly that she couldn't break free. She stood there stiffly.
"Qingcheng, you said you weren't afraid of me. What are you hiding from?”Jin Yuqi looked into her eyes. What are you afraid of?"
"Your Highness, ChenQie feels that you might really be drunk.”
"No, I'm not drunk!" The delicate touch from her palm told Jin Yuqi that her hand was not as weak and boneless as other women's. Her hand made him feel that it was very firm and powerful. He used the strength in his hand to pull her entire body into his arms."You're my concubine, so I should have the final say.”
"ChenQie, ChenQie is just not ready yet.”Qingcheng said.
"You and I have been married for several days, and you are still not ready? Qingcheng, I'm not a three-year-old child!" Jin Yuqi said.
"Although ChenQie is the Crown Princess, there are still four other consorts waiting for Your Highness to visit.”Qingcheng's voice was trembling as she said this.
"Are you telling the truth?" Jin Yuqi's expression was very ugly.”
Qingcheng bit her tongue and said,""Your Highness, since the Empress has chosen four consorts for you, you should share the rain with them. Firstly, it can stabilize the unity of the harem. Secondly, it can be considered as accepting the Empress 'good intentions!”
"I really couldn't tell that the Crown Princess Consort was so open-minded!”Jin Yuqi said sarcastically. He pushed Qingcheng away.
Qingcheng was caught off guard and sat on the carpet, her heart throbbing in pain.
"Murong Qingcheng, you've done a good job as the Crown Princess. Forget it, you can go back to your Blessing Palace!”For the first time, Jin Yuqi spoke to her in a cold tone. Initially, he had thought that she was different, but it seemed that he was wrong. She was just like other women. She had wrapped herself up because of her power and status. Then he would do the same. Who wouldn't wrap their hearts? He had always been doing very well.
"Yes, Your Highness." Qingcheng got up from the ground. When she looked up, tears started to fall. Shouldn't she feel relaxed? But why did she cry?
Jin Yuqi gulped down the wine that Qingcheng poured. Suddenly, he felt unwell. A strong chill assaulted him. He couldn't help but shiver and sweep the wine jug and wine cup on the table.
Qingcheng instinctively turned around, but when she saw the Crown Prince's strange expression, she was shocked and quickly walked to his side.""Your Highness, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" She touched his forehead. It was so cold."Quick, quickly call the imperial physician!"
Yuming, who was standing guard outside the palace, heard the crown prince consort's call. He walked into the palace and glanced at the crown prince."Your Highness, the Crown Prince's old illness has relapsed. This servant will go and get Imperial Physician Chen!”
"Hurry up and go." Qingcheng looked at the Crown Prince who was in pain. In order to stop him from forcing himself to remain calm, she sealed a few of his acupuncture points."You will feel better. I will untie it when the imperial physician arrives.”
"You really know how to use acupoint techniques." Jin Yuqi could still speak.
"Now that things have come to this, I don't want to hide it anymore. Yes, I know some acupoints.”Qingcheng said honestly.
"What else do you know? Why don't you tell me everything?"
"Your Highness needs to rest. We can talk about this later.”
Jin Yuqi wanted to laugh, but he couldn't." That's right. There's still a long way to go. My Crown Princess Consort isn't a simple woman."”
Qingcheng didn't say anything. She supported him and waited for the imperial physician to arrive.
The imperial physician rushed over, and the Empress also rushed over when she heard the news.
Qingcheng quietly unsealed the Crown Prince's acupuncture points.
The Empress met the Imperial Physician on the way. After some questioning, she learned that her son was unwell and followed the Imperial Physician to the Imperial Dragon Hall. She was anxious."Dr. Chen, quickly check the Crown Prince's pulse. What's going on?”
Imperial Physician Chen was about fifty years old, with fair skin and a good appearance. He skillfully felt the Crown Prince's pulse and looked at his tongue. After looking, hearing, and asking, he reported to the Empress and the Crown Princess Consort,""Two Niangniang, please report that the Crown Prince's old illness has relapsed this time and is coming in a menacing manner. After this lowly official applies acupuncture and prescriptions medicine for the Crown Prince, I will report in detail.”
"A relapse?" Qingcheng looked at her pale husband.""Mother, what illness did the Crown Prince have?”
Empress Nalan watched as Imperial Physician Chen inserted silver needles into the Crown Prince's acupuncture points and said,"I don't know if Yu Ting has mentioned it to you, but Qi 'er fell into a frozen lake when he was young because of practicing martial arts. From then on, he fell ill.”
Qingcheng lowered her head and said,"Is there no cure?"”
Nalan Xiuhui started to get angry." It's all because of these useless imperial doctors. They always treat the symptoms but not the root cause. That's why Qi 'er's illness has been delayed. It never ends." He had taken the medicine, given the needles, and thought of the prescription, but he was still in this state.”
After Imperial Physician Chen finished applying acupuncture on the Crown Prince, he knelt down with a thud."Please calm your anger, Your Majesty. It was this lowly official and the others who were incompetent and could not completely cure His Highness the Crown Prince's cold illness.”
"Punishment, punishment, that sounds good!”Nalan Xiuhui said angrily,"It's always the same!" If all of you were to be executed, would the Crown Prince recover from his illness? Get up, let's treat the situation in front of us first!”
"The Empress is generous and merciful. This lowly official thanks the Empress for not punishing me!”"Only?" Silvester stood up.”
"But what?" Nalan Xiuhui asked. Don't stutter, there's only bengong and the crown prince consort here, there's no harm in speaking.”
Imperial Physician Chen looked at the Crown Princess Consort and hesitated.
"Hurry up and tell me!" Nalan Xiuhui shouted.”
"Please speak, Lord Chen." Qingcheng said.”
Imperial Physician Chen said," I noticed that the Crown Prince's pulse has changed greatly from a few months ago. His pulse is stable but weak. His Yang Qi is too strong but his blood and Qi are not smooth.”
"How did this happen?" Nalan Xiuhui was puzzled.
"Two niangniang, please forgive this humble subject for speaking bluntly.”Imperial Physician Chen bowed.
"Alright, I forgive you!" the Empress said.
Qingcheng also nodded, indicating that she wouldn't pursue the matter.
"Based on my many years of experience in the palace, I have concluded that the Crown Prince's old illness has relapsed due to the imbalance of Yin and Yang."”
"Imbalance of Yin and Yang?" Empress Nalan frowned.
"That's right. The Crown Prince's body tells me that the Crown Prince hasn't had sexual intercourse with a man or woman for some time!”
Nalan Xiuhui gasped,"This…could you be wrong?"”
"I dare to guarantee with my head!”Imperial Physician Chen said sternly.
Qingcheng knew that something was wrong. At this moment, Jin Yuqi gradually woke up.
Nalan Xiuhui looked at her son and said,""Qi 'er, tell mother honestly, how long has it been since you slept with a woman?”
Jin Yuqi was not feeling well, but his mind was clear. He said,"Mother, I feel very tired and want to rest.”
Imperial Physician Chen took the Crown Prince's pulse again."Niangniang, His Highness the Crown Prince has already recovered.”
"Dr. Chen, you can leave first!" Nalan Xiuhui dismissed the imperial physician first.
"Yes, Empress, this lowly subject will take his leave!" "I will come back tomorrow to take the Crown Prince's pulse!" Imperial Physician Chen said.”
Seeing Imperial Physician Chen leave, Nalan Xiuhui said,"Qi 'er, you have to say it today!”
"You believe the nonsense of the imperial physician?" Jin Yuqi asked.
"It doesn't matter if you don't say it. I have ways to find out the truth!" Nalan Xiuhui said. Lan Xin, get the palace maids of the Crown Prince Palace here!”
Lan Xin quickly brought Yuming in.
"Bengong asks you questions, you must answer truthfully. If you cheat, you will be beaten to death immediately!”
"Yes, Empress." Yuming was so scared that he didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
"Speak! Has the Crown Prince been to the Prideful Dragon Hall recently?”Nalan Xiuhui asked.
"No!"
"Really?"
"Really!" Yuming replied.
"What about the consort?"
"The Crown Prince didn't go either."
"What about Blessing Palace?"
"The Crown Prince has been going to Blessing Palace these few days.”Yuming said.
Nalan Xiuhui looked at Qingcheng." You're the Crown Princess Consort. You should know the Crown Prince's whereabouts the best. Is Yuming right?"”
Qingcheng knelt down and said," Mother, please calm down. There's a reason for this.”She didn't know how to explain it clearly.
Nalan Xiuhui then said to Lan Xin,"Lan Xin, go and roll up the Crown Princess 'left sleeve."”
Lan Xin obeyed.
The bright red chastity sand on Qingcheng's left arm was clearly visible. "Murong Qingcheng, what else do you have to say?" Nalan Xiuhui was furious. You have no regard for the rules of the palace and have committed a huge mistake.”
Yuming and Lan Xin knelt down and said in unison,"Empress, please calm down!"
"Mother, please calm down, daughter-in-law knows her mistake!”Qingcheng said sincerely as she knelt down.
"What was wrong?"
"Daughter-in-law shouldn't act recklessly and throw the great responsibility of having children to the back of her head. She shouldn't tease the Crown Prince and humiliate him.”
"Then tell me, how should I punish you?" Nalan Xiuhui said.
"It's up to mother!"
"Mother, please listen to your son." Jin Yuqi could not bear to listen any longer.”
"You want to protect her, don't you?" "How did Yuan Hong get here?" Nalan Xiuhui asked her son. How long do you want to lie to Imperial Mother?”
"It's the blood from my cut finger!"
After Nalan Xiuhui heard this, she became even angrier and slapped Qingcheng across the face.""My husband's fault is my wife's fault. This slap is on behalf of our ancestors. To this day, the Jinliu Country has no successor. As the Crown Princess Consort, you dare to look down on the palace.”Another slap came down." This slap is for the Emperor and BenGong. As the daughter-in-law of the royal family, you ignore the inheritance of the family and do whatever you want."”After the third slap, he said,"This slap is for the Crown Prince. As a wife, you didn't abide by the rules of a woman and colluded with your husband to deceive your parents!”
Qingcheng had been slapped three times and was speechless. She wanted to cry, but she tried her best to hold it in. She should have expected this situation.
Nalan Xiuhui sat down and calmed down for a long time before she said,""This is a serious matter, but BenGong does not want to spread it out and hurt the Imperial Family's face. Forget it, the big matter has become small and the small matter has become small. Go to the Saint Ancestor Palace and kneel for twenty-four hours to repent to your ancestors!”
"Yes, mother." Qingcheng accepted her punishment.
