Too Ashamed to See People

Xuan Tian Qi had known Feng Yu Heng for more than just a day or two. He knew that this doctor’s medical ability had not been around for just a day or two.

But today, when he was called to the county princess’ medicine storage room, and Feng Yu Heng sat across from him explaining “male sterility” in a serious manner, Xuan Tian Qi, who was an old man in his 40s, began to blush.

Finally, Feng Yu Heng concluded with “In summary, the organ is malformed, and the sperm has a lower survival rate. This is the main reason for your sterility.” This concluded the discussion.

Xuan Tian Qi kept his head lowered the entire time, and he was too embarrassed to raise his head. This was truly too awkward. Across from him was a young girl and his future sister-in-law, yet she was actually telling him about this sort of thing. If the old ninth knew about this, would his Jing Palace be burned down?

Feng Yu Heng naturally understood his embarrassment, and she also knew that this sort topic was truly too explicit for the people of the ancient era, but she still told Xuan Tian Qi: “I am a doctor, and you are my patient. It’s just like when an imperial physician takes care of a female. It’s the same concept. In the eyes of a doctor, there is no difference between whether a patient is male or female.”

Xuan Tian Qi nodded, “I know.” But even if he knew, he still felt embarrassed. At the same time, his heart was thinking. Just hearing the symptoms of his illness caused him to feel at a loss. How could this illness be taken care of? How would it be treated? Could this illness be resolved by just taking medicine? Based on his younger sister-in-law’s energetic actions, it should not be medicine…

“Eldest brother.” Feng Yu Heng spoke up once more, immediately asking something that caused Xuan Tian Qi to collapse even more, “Have you slept with your wife or concubine in the past five days?”

Xuan Tian Qi felt, for a moment, that this girl was teasing him, but was this any way to tease a person? After thinking for a long time, he finally shook his head with difficulty, “No.”

“Very good.” Feng Yu Heng appeared very happy. She then stood up and walked over to the cabinet. When she returned, she held an odd thing in her hand.

Xuan Tian Qi had a bad feeling surface in his heart, and he subconsciously wanted to run; however, he was stopped by Feng Yu Heng, “Eldest brother, in order to verify the survival rate of sperm, it must first be collected manually.”

“… Can we not do this treatment?” He endured for a long time and finally managed to squeeze this out, “I would rather spend my life without having any children. I’m begging you.”

“That’s no good.” Feng Yu Heng was very resolute, “Not to mention that this was a bargaining chip in our deal, I would be unable to provide an explanation to imperial concubine Xian Fei. Eldest brother should know the way things are done in the imperial palace. If you don’t want to cause A-Heng too much trouble, it would be best to treat this illness.”

Xuan Tian Qi gave her a guarantee: “I guarantee you that no trouble will come from imperial concubine mother’s side.”

She still shook her head, “No good. There are three ways of being unfilial, and not having a child is the worst. Father Emperor is still waiting to hold a grandchild.”

Xuan Tian Qi admitted his defeat. That’s right, not having a child was the worst. Even in his dreams, he hoped to have his own child. Right now, an opportunity had presented itself. Either way, he had already lost all face. Just a little more would not matter.

Thus he simply received it and asked Feng Yu Heng how to use it. Feng Yu Heng then exited the medicine storage room. Roughly one stick of incense in time later, a voice came from inside the room: “Come in.”
