Chapter 145: Xiao Shizi's Kidney Deficiency
Chapter 145: Xiao Shizi's Kidney Deficiency
At breakfast time, Luo Lingyue was biting into a steamed bun with great energy. Her eyes inadvertently swept across to Xiao Jinghan, who was standing opposite her with two panda eyes. She couldn't help laughing out loud. Her flamboyant appearance made people laugh: "Xiao Shizi, you look so listless. Did you not sleep well last night? You don't have to worry because my brother is by your side to protect you! You can sleep peacefully! My brother is a first-class martial artist! He is also a first-class poisoner! And a first-class doctor!"
Xiao Jing had a cold face and drank the porridge in the bowl silently without saying a word, as if he didn't hear what Luo Lingyue said.
However, Luo Lingyue refused to give up and continued to tease, "Oh my, why are your two dark circles so heavy? Did you steal last night?"
Facing Luo Lingyue's teasing, Xiao Jinghan still chose to remain silent, as if concentrating all his energy on the bowl of light porridge in front of him.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Luo Lingyue smacked her lips, then said meaningfully: "Could it be that you have kidney deficiency? I've heard that men with kidney deficiency will have dark circles under their eyes..."
As she spoke, she carefully observed Xiao Jinghan's expression.
When Xiao Jinghan heard this, a mouthful of porridge got choked in his throat. He started coughing violently, as if he was going to cough out his lungs!
Everyone felt a little embarrassed. They lowered their heads and pretended that they saw and heard nothing.
Only Luo Lingyue looked at Xiao Jinghan with an innocent face, as if she didn't think she had said anything excessive.
Miss Luo! You are really trying to murder your fiancé! Everyone secretly groaned in their hearts. The county lady's temperament was really unpredictable. No one knew what shocking words she would say next.
Luo Lingfeng put down his bowl and chopsticks, his face darkened, and he lowered his voice and scolded: "You are a girl in the boudoir! How can you say such nonsense!"
Luo Lingyue couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed after being scolded by her brother, but she still covered her mouth and muttered softly: "Oh! It turns out that men's kidney deficiency is such an unspeakable thing! No wonder people don't want to talk about it!"
Luo Lingfeng shook his head helplessly after hearing what his sister said, then turned to look at Xiao Jinghan and lowered his voice to comfort him: "Jinghan! Don't worry too much! I, Sixth Brother, am quite knowledgeable about men's hidden diseases! After all, I am the proud disciple of Doctor Xi, and these minor problems are nothing to me!"
After hearing this, Xiao Jinghan couldn't help but twitch his lips, and hurriedly explained: "Sixth brother! I didn't..."
However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Luo Lingfeng: "You don't have to be so shy! If you are unwell, you should seek medical treatment in time. There is no need to be shy! We are all family. As your elder brother, I will do my best to treat you and ensure that you will be vigorous on your wedding night!"
When everyone heard this, they looked at Xiao Jinghan with strange eyes. Some showed pity, some were surprised, and some even looked gossipy...
At this moment, Xiao Jinghan only felt his head buzzing, and he secretly complained in his heart: I really want to thank you, brother and sister!
Before they left Luoxia Town, Emperor Wen had already received a letter from the secret guard via carrier pigeon: Prince Xiao suffers from kidney deficiency and may have difficulty in having children!
Emperor Wen's face instantly became extremely gloomy, and he thought to himself: Could it be that the Bi Luo poison destroyed Xiao Jinghan's body?
He slowly closed his eyes and sighed deeply, as if he wanted to let out all the worries and uneasiness in his heart.
Xiao He! I am sorry for you! I failed to protect your child!
At the same time, Empress Dowager Xue also received the news. A sinister smile appeared on her face, and she whispered, "That's great! The Xiao family has no descendants with Xiao Jinghan! There is no successor to the Wu'an Palace! In this way, the military power will naturally be taken over by the royal family! Hahahaha!" Her laughter was full of pride and satisfaction, as if she had seen the day when Emperor Wen would control the military power of Nanyi.
The Queen and the Crown Prince also received the news. The Prime Minister stroked his beard and showed a barely perceptible smile on his face: "If Xiao Jinghan never has an heir, then the Wu'an Palace will be without a successor. In this case, Your Majesty and the General's Mansion have sent Luo Lingyue into the fire pit in vain! Your Highness, the Xiao family is afraid that it will decline!"
When Queen Li Qianwan heard this, her lips curled up slightly, and she secretly rejoiced. She thought: That vixen's son is so incompetent! God is watching over us! All this is retribution!
At the same time, other princes also learned the news one after another. The third prince discussed with his staff and said, "In my opinion, now is the best time for us to win over Xiao Jinghan! It's a pity for Luo Lingyue. If she could become my principal wife, maybe she wouldn't have suffered such a fate, let alone not being able to leave behind an heir..." After saying this, the third prince couldn't help but sigh.
After receiving the news, Xiao Jingyi of Nanyi showed a cruel smile on his face. He pinched the note tightly with his fingers, as if he was going to crush it. Then, he cast his eyes to the shade of the tree outside the window, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and snorted coldly: "A short-lived sickly person who can't even have offspring, what qualifications does he have to compete with me for the military power of Nanyi? How could the Xiao family army support such a person!"
Xiao Jingyi immediately called the guards around him and ordered in a cold tone: "Spread the news immediately and let everyone know that Xiao Jinghan cannot have children! Not only must it spread throughout Nanyi, but also the entire Dazhao Kingdom must know it!"
In just half a day, the news spread like wildfire, sweeping across the entire capital. Whether it was teahouses or taverns, or small shops and vegetable markets on the streets, people were discussing this matter enthusiastically. Even men, women, old and young, joined in.
An elderly man could not help but sigh: "The Wu'an family has been loyal to the country for generations and has protected the peace of the people. Who could have expected that they would face a situation where they would be childless! Oh, God, why are you so cruel?"
There were also some people who had been blessed by the Wu'an Palace in the past, and they voluntarily went to the temple to pray to the gods to bless Prince Xiao with a long life and lasting blessings!
Several court officials sat around the wine table with solemn expressions, sighing from time to time: "Prince Xiao is so pitiful, he actually suffered such a cruel fate! His body has been corroded by various poisons since he was young. I'm afraid that not only will he not be able to pass on his family line, but he won't even be able to live long!"
"What about the young lady of the general's mansion? Is she going to be a widow at such a young age?" someone asked worriedly.
"Shh! Stop talking nonsense! This is a marriage granted by His Majesty, how can we discuss it casually! Come on, let's drink!" Another person hurriedly spoke out to stop them, and everyone raised their glasses and drank them all.
At this time, Luo Lingzhang was next to these officials. With a gloomy face, he asked his entourage in a low voice: "Who spread this news?"
The attendant lowered his head and whispered: "It was the guards following Prince Xiao who first spread the news! Your Majesty, it was the secret guards who spread the news! I suspect that there are people of Xiao Jingyi among Prince Xiao's guards!"
Luo Lingzhang's face was gloomy: "Who was the first to say that Xiao Jinghan had kidney deficiency?"
The attendant wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Yes, Miss!"
Luo Lingzhang half-closed his eyes and sneered: "Humph! Let's go back!"
The attendant hurriedly asked: "Third Master! Are we not going to take care of this matter?"
Luo Lingzhang raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Why do you care? Are you the one who wants to marry Xiao Jinghan? You are such a meddlesome person!"
