The girl that had remained in the Sheng Palace the entire time did not receive any further favour from the Eighth Prince after that night. It was as if that person had forgotten about her after using her. She lived alone in a small, desolate courtyard, looking at the walls all day long. Her days were bitter and lonely.
But she no longer cared about being lonely, and she did not care about whether the Eighth Prince still "used" her or not. She even hoped that the Eighth Prince would never appear. Because something strange had happened to her body. Not only was her private area extremely itchy, it was also filled with blisters, and the colour was yellow. When she looked in the mirror and saw it, she nearly fainted from fright. This was clearly a symptom of venereal disease, but why did she contract this sort of disease?
She had slept with the Eighth Prince with a pure body. Could it be that it was that time? This disease had been passed on to her by the Eighth Prince?
This question had been in her mind for many days. She had secretly asked around during this time, but she found that Xuantian Mo did not seem to be acting strangely. Logically speaking, her own area had become like this. If Xuantian Mo had passed it on to her, then his condition should have been even worse.
She then thought of how there were still a few of Xuantian Mo's tongfang concubines in this manor. When she discovered that she had contracted the disease, she immediately thought of those concubines. If Xuantian Mo had a disease, those people should also have contracted it. She could not see Xuantian Mo, but she could see those girls. After seeing them, she found that those people had not contracted the disease. After asking around, she found that after she had slept with Xuantian Mo, Xuantian Mo had not entered the rooms of those concubines.
The girl's head swelled at that moment. What did this mean? This meant that she had contracted the disease first, and it had nothing to do with the Eighth Prince. But when she had been with the Eighth Prince, she had still been a virgin! She had not been intimate with any other man aside from him.
While she was lost in thought, the itch started again. She tried to endure it, but in the end, she couldn't. It was the middle of the night, and there was no one else in the room. She simply reached her hand into her pants and scratched. She did not have time to worry about whether or not she would have to scratch those pustules again. She just wanted to relieve the itch; however, it was at this time that she heard the door being kicked open with a "bang". Immediately following this, Xuan Tianmo hurriedly walked over. When he arrived in front of her bed, this girl did not even have a chance to pull her hand out of her pants.
Xuan Tianmo saw this familiar action of hers and immediately recalled the awkwardness he had experienced in the imperial palace. He very quickly understood what was going on and immediately gestured to the attendant at his side. Without another word, the attendant took a couple steps forward and pulled down the girl's pants.
The girl let out a cry in fear and wanted to use her hand to cover her private area, but that was the place that he wanted to see. That attendant's grip was as strong as a pair of pliers. Even if this girl had some martial arts, she was still too lacking compared to the man. She was restrained by the other party with practically no ability to resist. Her legs were also pulled apart, and the infected area below was clearly exposed to Xuan Tianmo.
He sucked in a breath of cold air and angrily said, "Sure enough!" Then his right hand reached forward and directly grabbed the woman's neck. "Bitch! It was you who caused I to contract this strange disease. I must strangle you alive today! "
He did what he said and increased the strength of his hands. The woman's face became more and more distorted, and her face became more and more green. In just a few breaths of time, there was no movement. But Xuantian Mo's anger was still not appeased. Not only did he not loosen his grip on the woman's neck, he tightened it even more. It wasn't until the neck was twisted and bloody that he let go. He looked at the woman's lower body. In addition to anger, fear also rose in his heart.
This woman was already so serious. How could it be so serious? He gasped for breath and wondered in his heart. It was so rotten down there, could it still be saved? Was it because she didn't get treatment in time, or was it because this disease couldn't be cured? Thinking like this, the effect of the medicine on his lower body had already passed. Under this kind of itch, the medicine's effect wouldn't be much. At most, it would ease the itch, but it couldn't completely remove it. He began to itch again, and one of his hands involuntarily scratched. The attendant had to remind him, "Your Highness, you must not scratch anymore. Look at her." He pointed at the woman. "She's obviously scratched like this."
"If I don't scratch you, what will I do? Will I itch to death? "Xuantian Mo gritted his teeth and said," What kind of disease is this? What kind of person can cure it? "
That attendant had always been by his side when he was in the palace. He was naturally clear about Xuantian Mo's condition. At this time, he rolled his eyes and gave him an idea, "Your Highness, in this subordinate's opinion, there is a place you can seek help from for this disease."
"Where?"
"A brothel."
Seeking help from a brothel for the disease of prostitution was a good idea. Xuantian Mo thought that as someone who was immersed in the red-light district for many years, he would naturally be knowledgeable about this kind of disease. The imperial physicians in the palace mainly treated the diseases of the imperial concubines. The imperial concubines in the palace were so clean. This caused them to have no way to treat this kind of disease. It seemed that he was asking the wrong person.
"Alright." Xuantian Mo nodded, his expression relaxing a little, "I'll leave this matter to you. Go find the most experienced person. Of course, after this, you have to clean up these people one by one. As for this … "He looked at the woman who had been strangled to death and suddenly regretted it. How could he have strangled her to death in a moment of excitement? If he hadn't strangled her to death, he could have used her as a test subject. At least he wouldn't have embarrassed himself. But now that she was dead, there was no point in saying more. He waved his hand, "Throw this out. Throw everything in this room away."
After he finished speaking, he walked out of the room with large strides. When he returned to his bedroom, he quickly took off his clothes and took out the medicine that the imperial physician had given him to stop the itching.
In reality, other than the people in the red-light district, he had thought of another place that might be able to cure him. That was Hundred Herb Hall, Feng Yu Heng's Hundred Herb Hall. But he and Hundred Herb Hall were enemies. Feng Yu Heng was happy to see him suffer, so how could she help him? Moreover, Xuan Tianmo had always had a faint suspicion in his heart that his illness might be related to that sly girl.
The red-light district was always very lively at night. Even on the first day of the new year, it was no exception. Xuantian Mo's entourage used less than an hour to kidnap five red-light district brothel madams back and treat their master's illness.
Unfortunately, the five of them were all shocked as they looked at the infected area. They all shook their heads and sighed, saying, "It is indeed a type of venereal disease, but we have never seen it before. Since we have never seen it before, we naturally don't know how to treat it. "
One of them said, "It can't be said that we have never seen it before. Last year, someone had a similar illness, but it was much lighter. The pustules weren't this big either. Unfortunately, even though it was much lighter and we used a lot of precious medicine, we still couldn't save the person's life. Being infected with this kind of illness is certain death. Moreover, it will be … rotting to death. "
The five of them still didn't understand where they were and didn't know the identity of the patient they were facing. They were kidnapped in the dark and their eyes were covered the entire way. If they knew that the person who was sick was the emperor's most beloved Eighth Prince, they wouldn't dare to say such words even if they were beaten to death. They might even be like the three imperial physicians in the palace and choose to protect themselves.
Xuantian Mo didn't give up. He repeatedly confirmed with the other party whether his illness was truly incurable. Only when he received a definite answer did he make a throat-slitting gesture at the entourage. Immediately after, a sword flashed past and the five people's necks were slit in the blink of an eye.
The entourage threw the corpses out of the room. Hidden guards quickly came out to take care of them. Even the bloodstains in the room were wiped clean. At this time, Xuantian Mo felt as if he had been sent to the death row. He was even more uneasy than when he had first been sent to the death row. Especially when he thought about how the procuress said "rotting to death", he could not help but tremble. He didn't want to die and didn't want to die like that. This illness had to be cured no matter what!
That night, the palace was not peaceful either. Emperor Tianwu stayed overnight in Cun Shan Palace. This was the first time in over 20 years that he stayed in a concubine's sleeping quarters after he started favouring concubines again.
Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui accompanied him for a round of pleasure and Emperor Tianwu fell into a deep sleep. After all, the old emperor drank quite a bit of wine during the palace banquet and used up some of his energy, so he fell into a deep sleep.
Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui got up after he fell asleep and quietly entered that bathroom. The bathroom was still filled with mist and a pair of large hands quickly wrapped around her, touching her lower body directly, then said with a lewd tone: "The old emperor is really useful!"
"Compared to you, he's far inferior!" Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui said coquettishly and leaned into that person's embrace, until that person removed her clothes and dragged her into the pool. She watched as that person used the excuse of cleaning her body to take advantage of her, only then did she ask: "Mo-er contracted a very strange disease, his lower body is strangely itchy and it can be seen that it is venereal disease, but no one can explain the cause in detail, and no one knows how to treat it. Tell me, what exactly is going on? This kind of illness, can you treat it? "
That person raised his head from her chest, saying: "I am a Gu Master, but I am not a physician. If you say someone has been poisoned with a Gu, I can cure it, but if they are sick, I am powerless." After saying this, he wanted to pounce on her, but was pushed away by Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui.
"You are prepared to ignore me just because you say you are powerless? That's my son! I am still counting on him to sit on the throne and give me glory for the rest of my life! Didn't you say before, as long as Mo-er sits on the throne, the two of us will not need to be sneaky like now. Although we will not be completely open and aboveboard, at least we will not be locked in this small bathroom? Why is it that now that something has happened to Mo-er, you are not anxious at all? Let me tell you, the old man is outside right now, I did not come in to have fun with you, I just want to ask if you have a solution. I cannot watch Mo-er continue to fall ill like this, if anything happens to him, all of our efforts would be wasted. "
"I know." That person saw that Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui was really angry and became serious, saying: "What I said before was the truth, although Gu Masters are considered half a doctor, most of the things they treat are Gu illnesses and do not have any special methods to treat normal illnesses. The Eighth Prince that you mentioned, if he really contracted that kind of illness, he would either need to seek help from an imperial physician or go to the red-light district to find people who specialize in this kind of thing, they would most likely have a solution. Also, you have to ask if he went to a brothel and where he contracted this illness. "
"He did not go to a brothel." Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui was certain about this matter, "Mo-er never goes to that kind of place, he said the women in that kind of place are too dirty."
"Then someone tampered with it!" This person said with certainty.
It was also this sentence that made Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui suddenly think of a possibility … …
