The scumbag was secretly having an affair, while I was openly having an affair with the prince.

Chapter 131 The King's Medical Meeting

Ye Gengxin was talking to You Jianchuan when he heard that Ninth Aunt had been found in the woodshed of the main courtyard. He immediately left You Jianchuan and rushed to the main courtyard.

Seeing his anxious expression, You Jianchuan, Madam Ma, and You Hongxin, the three members of the family, were all puzzled. However, the fact that the Marquis's residence had found people from the Prince Cheng's residence was no small matter, so they all followed him.

Ye Shishu and Gu Simo had just carried Ninth Aunt out of the underground stone chamber.

Before they could even check on Ninth Aunt's condition, Ye Gengxin rushed into the woodshed and snatched Ninth Aunt from his daughter Ye Shishu's shoulders—

"Ninth Aunt! Ninth Aunt!"

He called out twice, but Aunt Jiu could only groan and couldn't even open her eyes.

He hurriedly asked Gu Simo, "Xin'er, quickly check what's wrong with Ninth Aunt?"

Ye Shishu's face darkened. "Father, please put Aunt Jiu down first!"

Gu Simo also said, "Father, I haven't had a chance to check on Aunt Jiu's condition yet."

Ye Gengxin then gently placed Ninth Aunt on the ground.

Yu Chi Ling, Ye Shi Ting, Ye Shi Jun, and the entire You Jian Chuan family rushed over, instantly filling the woodshed to capacity.

After carefully examining Ninth Aunt, Gu Simo said, "In order to imprison Ninth Aunt, the other party used a unique acupuncture technique to seal her acupoints. Father, let's find a room first, and I will release the acupoints for Ninth Aunt in a moment."

Without hesitation, Ye Gengxin picked up Aunt Jiu again and rushed out of the woodshed.

You Jianchuan looked at Ye Shiting in confusion, "Nephew, this..."

Ye Shiting smiled slightly, "Second Uncle, don't worry, you and Second Aunt will definitely have a share of this wedding feast."

Upon hearing this, You Jianchuan and Madam Ma exchanged a glance and smiled with delight.

They are not unreasonable people. Ye Gengxin, their brother-in-law, has remained chaste for their sister for more than ten years. Not only has he been laughed at, but the Ye family has also been ridiculed for not having a mistress all these years.

Now that this brother-in-law is going to remarry, isn't that a happy thing?

……

Gu Simo was giving Jiu Gu acupuncture in the room, while Ye Gengxin was pacing back and forth under the eaves outside the door, his hands behind his back, unable to stop for a moment.

"Father, don't worry, Aunt Jiu will be alright." Ye Shishu couldn't help but comfort him.

Ye Gengxin stopped in his tracks, glanced at the tightly closed door, frowned, and sighed deeply.

Ye Shishu looked at Yuchi Ling beside her.

It's been half an hour, and her second sister-in-law still hasn't come out.

Yu Chi Ling squeezed her hand, indicating that she didn't need to worry.

About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea later, the door finally opened.

Gu Simo smiled at them from the door frame, "It's alright, but Aunt Jiu needs to get a good night's sleep."

"Xin'er!" Ye Shijun rushed to her and hugged her tightly. Seeing that her face was covered in beads of sweat, he asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"

"I'm fine, it's just that I used up a lot of my internal energy when I was doing acupuncture..." Gu Simo said, then slumped into his arms.

"Xin'er!"

"Second sister-in-law!"

Her fainting spell startled everyone.

Ye Shijun shouted at the top of his lungs, "Quickly call a doctor! Quickly call a doctor!"

Yu Chi Ling stepped forward, took out a medicine bottle from her sleeve, handed it to him, and whispered, "Feed her this, and she will wake up in a quarter of an hour."

Ye Shijun grabbed the medicine bottle and then carried Gu Simo to the next room.

Ye Gengxin also hurried into the room to see Aunt Jiu.

Although Ninth Aunt was rescued, the atmosphere became even more somber and oppressive after Gu Simo fainted.

Mrs. Ma offered, “You’ve been busy all day and haven’t eaten. I’ll go to the kitchen and make you something to eat.”

You Jianchuan urged his daughter, "Go and help your mother. See what ingredients are in the kitchen and make some nourishing food for Aunt Jiu and Doctor Hua."

Ma took You Hongxin and left quickly.

Ye Shishu asked Yu Chiling with concern, "Your Highness, are they really alright? Would you like to check on them yourself?"

Yu Chi Ling then went into Ninth Aunt's room.

Ye Gengxin was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a handkerchief in his hand to wipe the sweat off Aunt Jiu's face.

No one knows how Gu Simo treated her, but she looked like she had been soaked in water, her whole body was drenched.

Yu Chi Ling stepped forward, took Jiu Gu's pulse, and then said to Ye Gengxin, "She was drugged by Hua Ping and her acupoints were sealed by him. Hua Xin has already given her acupuncture, and she will be fine once she wakes up. I will prescribe a medicine for her, and she will recover in a few days by following the prescription."

Ye Gengxin stared at him with wide eyes, “…”

Is Prince Cheng also skilled in medicine?

He desperately didn't want to believe it, but the way Prince Cheng took his pulse didn't seem fake at all, and besides, he was the dignified Prince Cheng, so there was even less reason for him to pretend like that...

Wenyan brought over a brush and ink.

Ye Gengxin stared in disbelief as his son-in-law wielded his pen and wrote furiously on the paper.

When a prescription was handed to him, he looked at the names of the herbs on the paper and was completely bewildered.

I've never heard of several of the medicinal herbs. Am I sure this prescription won't make me sick?

But reason told him that Ninth Aunt was Prince Cheng's subordinate. Prince Cheng was too busy saving people to harm Ninth Aunt.

"I'll trouble you to take care of Ninth Aunt, Father-in-law. Shu'er and I have other matters to attend to, so please excuse us."

“…Hmm.” Hearing his son-in-law’s words, Ye Gengxin nodded stiffly.

As soon as the young couple left, he immediately grabbed Wen Yan and asked in a low voice, "Guard Wen, when did His Highness learn medicine?"

Wen Yan smiled and replied, "General, I know nothing. You didn't see anything just now. If I had to say something, perhaps it was Miss Hua Xin who taught me."

Ye Gengxin pursed his lips, “…”

He now fully realized that Prince Seung's abilities far exceeded ordinary people's imagination...

The key question is, does the emperor understand his son?

Although the Crown Prince was the eldest son of the legitimate wife, he was narrow-minded and accomplished nothing in court except forming cliques. Prince Cheng, on the other hand, was not only skilled in both literature and martial arts, but also adept at medicine…

Judging from the reactions of Prince Cheng's subordinates, there seems to be an unknown secret behind this medical expertise!

……

A bucket of cold water was poured over Wen's head.

Wen slowly opened her eyes, trembling.

Standing in front of her were Yu Chi Ling, Ye Shi Shu, and Chang Hao, the Prefect of Kyoto.

Seeing that she had woken up, Chang Hao spoke sternly, "Wen Shi, you kidnapped Ninth Aunt and extorted money from Prince Cheng and Princess Cheng. Do you plead guilty?"

Wen looked like a drowned rat, and upon hearing his words, his eyes became even more ferocious than before.

Without waiting for her reply, Chang Hao took out a slip of paper, unfolded it for her, and said authoritatively, "This is the blackmail letter that the Princess received. Ninth Aunt was imprisoned in the woodshed floor room by you, but she has now been rescued. Now that you have been caught red-handed, there is no room for you to deny it!"

"Ye Shishu! You will die a horrible death! Even if you kill me now, I will haunt you as a ghost!" Wen roared ferociously at Ye Shishu.
