Chapter 120 The Treatment
Chapter 120 The Treatment
Yu Wenhao turned his back to her to his anger and said indifferently, "Three or maybe five. I didn't
count."
Yuan Qingling was surprised. She thought that one or two was more than enough, but he had more?
Yuan Qingling could not understand the reason why men would want concubines there. Even if they
said it was for repopulating, it still felt wrong.
She also turned her back to him. She was furious.
She felt bad for the girls. Even Lu Ya didn't want to become someone else's concubine. Most women
didn't want to become men's child-bearer. But sometimes, they didn't have a choice. And those poor
girls! They were being ravished by dirtbags like him just because of their social status? And he had
sent them away when she moved in there. How would they find someone to marry them? How would
they survive?
Yuan Qingling was furious, and Yu Wenhao felt the same.
'What does she mean? What kind of man does she thinks I am? I never had a concubine! The only
woman I was in bed with is her, and she won't even let me touch her!"
They were both fumed that they didn't sleep that night. They just cursed each other with their eyes
closed until dawn.
Yu Wenhao got up and asked Tang Yang to tell the office that he would be late for work.
Yuan Qingling got up after him. She didn't ask Lu Ya to help her with her clothes. She went behind the
screen and put her clothes on.
Yuan Qingling sat in front of the dressing table and watched Nurse Xi help take off his clothes and put it
on, and said, "You're not crippled or anything. Why can't you put your clothes on yourself?"
If it were any other time, she wouldn't say anything about it. She knew those so-called noblemen so
well. It wouldn't be a surprise to her even if their servants put the food in their mouths.
However, she couldn't repress last night's anger in her heart and spoke out bitterly.
Yu Wenhao didn't respond, but Nurse Xi was startled. "It is my duty, my lady."
"His concubines can help him with that," Yuan Qingling blurted out. She regretted it immediately. His
concubines were just some innocent girls. She had felt had for them last night and discriminated
against them just now!
Nurse Xi smiled."That would be impossible, My Lady. Prince never had a concubine."
Lu Ya came up to Yuan Qingling to comb her hair and said softly, "Yeah, my lady. I asked Nurse Xi last
night about it, and she said the same thing."
Yu Wenhao asked coldly," Why do you care so much about concubines?"
Yuan Qingling didn't know how to respond. But she was somewhat released. She realized she started
to care about Yu Wenhao.
"I was just curious," Yuan Qingling answered stiffly.
"Curious?" Yu Wenhao repeated her words and approached her. The copper mirror reflected his
appearance, and Yuan Qingling was amused by the scratch marks on both of his cheeks.
Yu Wenhao realized it too. "You see what you did to me? I have work today!" he asked.
"Just say a cat did it," Yuan Qingling suggested.
"A cat? No one would believe me! My reputation is at stake here!"
Yuan Qingling stood up, made him sit on a chair, and replied, "I can fix that with makeup. You just need
some powder."
"I will never put powder on my face!" Yu Wenhao protested. She must've done it on purpose! Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
"It's my fault, I shouldn't t drink wine in the first place, it made me lose control of myself, and I'm so
sorry about hurting you. It won't happen again. Maybe it'll heal tomorrow, and you won't be needing any
makeup. Besides, my powder is good, no one will notice if I covered the scratches up with it. I'm
wearing it now! Here, feel it!" Yuan Qingling put his hands on her face and said.
Yu Wenhao could feel the touch of her porcelain skin. It was strange and somehow addictive. He
wanted to pinch her face.
Between covering it up with makeup or letting others see the scars, Yu Wenhao chose the former.
However, he was wrong about Yuan Qingling. Her powder was not as good as she promised. It
clumped on his face and made him look like he had lepriasis.
Finally, the doctor applied an ointment. It covered up the scar but made Yu Wenhao's face pale as if he
just recovered from a serious illness.
However, that was the best solution that they could think of.
They set off after breakfast and arrived at Yu Wenhuai's residence after thirty minutes in a wagon.
They had to park it at the far end of the lane, for the front and back doors were full of carriages.
Those were royal carriages. Queen Lu had already arrived there the night before.
Yu Wenjing and Yu Wenling had been there for a few days.
Several princes took turns to watch the night in Yu Wenhuai's mansion. They were afraid that
something would happen to him at night. Princess Ji was the most diligent one of them all. Before
Queen Lu came, she had taken care of everything.
The head nurse and eunuch of the Royal Palace were there because of Emperor Mingyuan's orders.
They had already withdrawn all the doctors before Yuan Qingling had arrived. Queen Lu was worried.
Thus she commanded a royal physician to prescribe drugs for a few days before he had left.
It was the first day that Yuan Qingling's treatment towards Yu Wenhuai and the people in the royal
study was nervous. Emperor Mingyuan ordered Gu Si to be by Yuan Qingling's side with a few guards
to protect her.
Gu Si knew the importance of that matter. He carefully picked two skillful guards and headed to Yu
Wenhuai's mansion. Gu Si and Yuan Qingling arrived at Yu Wenhuai's Mansion at the same time. Gu
Si repeated Emperor Mingyuan's words to them, and they entered the mansion together.
Yu Wenhuai was infected with a contagious disease. That was why others were banned to get into his
courtyard. Even those who came to see him for a few minutes would cover their mouths and noses with
their hands, wash their hands, and change their clothes after the visit.
Yu Wenhuai's closest servant had been taking care of him. However, in the past two days, Princess Ji
also joined him. For only two days, she had already gained a reputation for being virtuous. Even the
emperor praised her.
Members of the Royal house were waiting at the gate of the courtyard for her because of Emperor
Mingyuan's orders. Prince Wenjun and his wife were standing by Queen Lu's side. Princess Ji was
dressed in plain clothes. Her hair was tied into a neat bun and fixed with a hair bun. She looked at
Yuan Qingling with a smile on her face." I was relieved when I heard you would come," she exclaimed.
People didn't know how good Yuan Qingling's medical skills were. They just assumed she cured the
Emperor out of luck...However, Princess Ji had just implied Yuan Qingling was so masterful that Yu
Wenhuai would surely be cured.
Princess Ji said it on purpose. If Yuan Qingling failed, people would think she didn't try her best for
Prince. Yuan Qingling didn't respond to her childish schemes. She stepped forward and greeted Queen
Lu.
Queen Lu didn't even look at Yuan Qingling. She looked at Yu Wenhao instead and said, "I believe in
you. I know you can keep an eye on your wife and not let her do anything stupid. I do not know why the
Emperor asked her to treat my son. I couldn't disobey Emperor's orders. However, if she recklessly
prescribes drugs and harms my child, I won't let her get away with it!"
Yu Wenhao cupped his hands and replied, "Don't worry your highness. I will do my best to keep an eye
on her."
Queen Lu did not know how his son caught the disease, so she didn't hate Yu Wenhao. She was also
aware of the fact that she couldn't piss Queen Xian and Yu Wenhao off. Yet, it was her son's life that
was at stake, and she had to be cautious.
"I'll go check him out first," Yuan Qingling spoke. Everyone was staring at her, and that was torture.
She wanted to flee there.
"Let me go with you," Princess Ji said eagerly.
Yuan Qingling had already packed the prepared masks in her bag before coming there. She took them
out and gave them to others and put one on.
Queen Lu trembled with anger when she saw the masks.
She pointed at Yuan Qingling and shouted, "If you loathe my son so much, you can't just go home! I
don't ask you to come here! He would be devastated if he realizes you are disgusted by him. Wearing
masks is very disrespectful!"
