The Cousin Is About to Marry，The Abstinent Young Lord Loses Control-Chapter 120: The Crown Prince’s Improper Gaze

Chapter 120: Chapter 120: The Crown Prince’s Improper Gaze

The one who detoxified Xie Yunzhen was Xi Yu, and the prescription left behind was his painstaking creation.

Xie Yunzhen is able to move freely, appearing no different from an ordinary person, all thanks to Xi Yu’s superb medical skills.

The Crown Prince asked questions, and the Imperial Physician cupped his hands in a salute.

"My Lord Vice Minister’s poisoning is perilous and domineering. Previously, he hadn’t properly conditioned his body, delaying the illness. To completely clear the residual toxins, it will take at least half a year."

Princess An He couldn’t afford to be stubborn.

She hurriedly asked, "Will the accumulation of residual toxins in the body endanger his life?"

People consume grains and cereals; nevertheless, they sometimes suffer from headaches and fevers.

Being corroded by residual toxins in the internal organs day by day for a long time will definitely cause problems.

"His life is currently not at risk, but he still needs careful conditioning, otherwise it will affect his lifespan."

It’s her own son, so Princess An He still hopes he’ll live to a ripe old age.

"As long as the residual toxins can be detoxified in the shortest time, regardless of how many good medicines are used, our Duke Mansion can afford it. Can you give him a different prescription?"

The Imperial Physician shook his head, "Doctor Xi’s prescription is excellent, no need to change it."

Princess An He had no solution.

She turned to inquire about another matter, "Will the toxins in his body affect the ability to conceive children?"

The Imperial Physician was surprised, "Is the Princely Heir’s wife pregnant?"

Observing Ji Mingzhu’s complexion, perhaps because she hasn’t been married long, it’s hard to tell if she’s already pregnant.

The Imperial Physician said, "If Madam doesn’t mind, I can help you take your pulse."

Ji Mingzhu felt uncertain.

She heard that this Imperial Physician’s medical skills are exceptional; he can diagnose whether the empresses in the palace are carrying boys or girls.

If they discover that she’s been taking birth control medicine, it will be troublesome.

"I’m not pregnant."

Not wanting to arouse suspicion, Ji Mingzhu glanced at Xie Yunzhen.

Lowering her eyelids, she said awkwardly, "The Young Master hasn’t left any dew."

Xie Yunzhen: "..."

These words were too shocking; the Crown Prince, in the middle of drinking tea, choked.

The coughing resounded, and he was glared at by Xie Yunzhen.

This person has no sense at all. Hearing them talk about the topic of offspring, and still not closing his ears!

Ji Mingzhu, being focused on not letting Xie Yunzhen and the Commandery Princess know about her taking birth control medicine, ignored the Crown Prince.

Upon hearing the other’s coughing, her face flushed instantaneously.

Her eyes were full of annoyance.

She was so embarrassed she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Princess An He rarely felt awkward for once.

She was overwrought with concern; that’s why she inquired about childbearing matters in front of outsiders.

The Crown Prince finally calmed down, his face and neck flushed crimson.

Ji Mingzhu is... bolder than he imagined.

No wonder she can keep Ah Zhen firmly in hand.

Feeling embarrassed to listen further, "Ah Zhen looks fine. With the Hospital Director here, I won’t worry about this, and will visit next time."

Not waiting for them to keep him, the Crown Prince briskly left.

Princess An He wore an embarrassed expression, thinking that starting tomorrow she’ll teach Ji Mingzhu etiquette properly.

As Ah Zhen’s wife, she should be dignified and composed.

Saying such shameless words, Ah Zhen will be looked down upon!

Trying to remain composed, she asked: "You’ve seen Ah Zhen’s condition. Will it affect having children?"

The Imperial Physician appeared solemn, "It’s not advisable to have children at this time. Firstly, it risks miscarriage; secondly, even if a child is born, due to the toxin’s influence, it will be difficult to grow up healthy."

Princess An He looked utterly disheartened.

She had thought before that if Ji Mingzhu couldn’t have children, then let someone else have them.

But now it seems, unless Ah Zhen’s body is well-conditioned, it won’t matter who gives birth.

Affection for her beloved extends to his kin; although the grandchildren haven’t been born, just thinking of the children being affected by toxins, appearing frail, Princess An He couldn’t bear it.

Forget it; it’s better to first properly condition Ah Zhen’s body.

"Aside from taking medicine, are there other ways that can assist in detoxification?"

"Naturally, there are."

Princess An He hurriedly asked, "What methods are there?"

"You may try acupuncture."

As long as it’s beneficial for Xie Yunzhen’s health, Princess An He agreed to it all.

Without giving Xie Yunzhen and Ji Mingzhu a chance to speak, she made the decision.

Let Xie Yunzhen take half an hour each day to go to the Imperial Hospital for acupuncture with the Hospital Director.

After sending away the Imperial Physician and the Commandery Princess, darkness had completely fallen.

Perhaps due to speaking foolish words earlier, Ji Mingzhu felt on edge as Xie Yunzhen stared at her.

Watching her flustered demeanor, Xie Yunzhen couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Weren’t you daring earlier? How come you’re now pretending to be a quail?"

Ji Mingzhu glared at him, "It’s you who’s causing the trouble!"

The assassination was his trouble making.

The poisoning too.

Even this embarrassment was somewhat related to him.

Ji Mingzhu boldly shifted the responsibility onto Xie Yunzhen, huffed, and turned to go back to her room.

Xie Yunzhen touched his nose, knowing that denial is wrong. Truthfully, she spoke plainly earlier with nothing amiss.

If there is blame, then blame the Crown Prince for coming at an inappropriate time.

Thinking of earlier, the way the Crown Prince looked at Ji Mingzhu, Xie Yunzhen’s smiling mouth turned downward.

Jealousy surged within him.

So sour it bubbled up.

He wished he could chase outside and fight with the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince, having left the Duke Mansion, suddenly sneezed.

He secretly wondered, could it be that Xie Yunzhen is cursing him?

Xie Yunzhen was possessive and petty, it really could be possible if you think about it.

The love for beautiful things is universal.

Ji Mingzhu was truly beautiful, surpassing the beauties in the Eastern Palace, which caused him to take a few extra glances.

This sort of thing, forcing one’s wife, he couldn’t bring himself to do.

Xie Yunzhen just thinks too much.

Meanwhile, the maid had already prepared the water, and Ji Mingzhu went directly to the bath room.

Xie Yunzhen naturally followed her inside.

Upon seeing this, the maid put down the necessary bath items and left with her head lowered.

Ji Mingzhu took off her outer garment and hung it on the screen rack.

Her exposed arms were shining white.

Rarely did Xie Yunzhen not act like a lecherous scoundrel.

He simply held Ji Mingzhu’s shoulders tightly, his tone firm, "In the future, before the Crown Prince, you’re not allowed to dress so beautifully."

Ji Mingzhu looked down for a moment.

She was wearing the most ordinary dress, its color subdued, style plain.

Because the guests came suddenly, she hadn’t even had the chance to put on makeup.

Not wanting to listen to nonsense, she shoved Xie Yunzhen’s arm, "You go out first."

"You haven’t agreed to me yet."

Ji Mingzhu rolled her eyes, "Don’t judge others’ noble intentions using your petty mind."

Xie Yunzhen was amused despite himself.

Being a man himself, how could he not recognize the Crown Prince’s indecent gaze?

It was indeed the kind of look a man gives a woman!

Looking down at her gauzy dress, "From now on, beautiful dresses are only allowed for me to see."

He stroked her shoulder again, "Starting tomorrow, I’ll take you to sunbathe for half an hour each day, until your skin turns dark."

He cradled her face, studying her from every angle, "Adding a few freckles, I wonder if that would work."

Ji Mingzhu couldn’t stand it any longer, "I might as well wear nothing at all and never meet anyone!"

Xie Yunzhen actually considered the feasibility, finally saying, "Just wait for me on the bed, go nowhere."
