After marrying the vegetative prince, the doctor concubine killed people randomly

Luo Jingshen's face darkened. Twenty thousand taels of gold, could she really say that?

However, he didn't think Ji Yuntang could win, so it would be nice to humiliate her and help Ji Qingqing vent her anger.

"Okay, then it's settled. If you win, I will give you 20,000 taels of gold. We'll meet at Qinglong Square at noon tomorrow."

Sitting in the carriage, Taozhi applied ice to the bruises on her face. Her lips moved, and her expression seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Ji Yuntang said softly: "If you have anything to ask, just ask. Don't worry too much in front of me."

"Princess, I heard that the patients seeking medical treatment at the Qinglong Square Medical Skills Competition all suffer from rare and difficult diseases. Not to mention the quack doctors, even the imperial doctors in the palace can't cure those strange diseases. Do you really want to challenge?"

Ji Yuntang raised his eyebrows. Is it so mysterious? No wonder she asked for 20,000 taels of gold. The prince agreed without any hesitation.

Although she was not afraid, she still decided to ask clearly, thinking that knowing both yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle.

"Taozhi, tell me, princess, what's so strange about this?"

Taozhi thought about it and gave her a few examples.

"Some people have blurry vision and always feel like there's a layer of fog in front of them. Some people have pustules all over their faces, and the pustules keep coming back after taking medicine. Some people have blisters on the soles of their feet that itch and peel. It was just one person who had this problem, but soon the whole family was infected. People around them thought this strange disease was contagious, and they would stay away from them as if they were seeing the plague."

"What I find most incredible is the youngest son of Mr. Liu. He is only eleven or twelve years old and lives a life of luxury, but he tries to commit suicide every day. Whenever his family members are not paying attention, he will run out and jump into the river to commit suicide. So far, he has been rescued several times."

"Mrs. Liu has always believed that her son ran into some evil spirit outside and was possessed by a demon. She spent no less than 50,000 taels of silver just to invite Taoist priests from the mountains to perform a ritual, but in the end it was of no use at all. In desperation, Mrs. Liu could only take her son to the ring to seek medical treatment to see if anyone could cure her son's strange disease."

After listening to Taozhi's description, Ji Yuntang had a rough idea in his mind.

These symptoms do sound strange, but they are also very common problems in modern times and can be cured with some simple tricks or medicines.

But in ancient times where medical technology was backward, these diseases became incurable?

Not dead, but very torturous.

"Princess, these diseases are too strange. Even if a world-famous ghost doctor comes, I don't think he can cure them. I think the Crown Prince saw that you cured the Seventeenth Prince and is deliberately making things difficult for you, hoping that you will give up. How about you find an excuse to say you are not feeling well tomorrow and don't participate in the medical competition?"

A smile appeared on Ji Yuntang's red lips, and his voice was full of determination.

"We have to go. We can't let the 20,000 taels of gold go to waste."

"You don't have to worry. I already know these problems and can cure them even without medication."

Taozhi was a little worried. She didn't understand where her princess got her confidence from. If she couldn't cure those people when she went up, her reputation in Dongchen Kingdom would only get worse.

But Ji Yuntang was obviously not worried about these things. After returning to Prince Ye’s Mansion, she went straight to West Garden to meet Luo Junhe.

"Ahe, I'm back, did you miss me?"

"Taozhi and I went shopping and bought a lot of delicious food, as well as some appetizing fruits. I'll make you some sweet and sour juice later."

Ji Yuntang's face was full of smiles and her voice was cheerful. The weather outside was nice today. After entering the house, she ran straight to the window and opened all four nanmu windows to let in some fresh air.

Luo Junhe waited for a while, and seeing that she had no intention of revealing anything to him, he asked in a muffled voice: "Atang, when you entered the palace today, did my mother give you any trouble?"

Ji Yuntang paused in his movement to open the window, feeling a little surprised.

She remembered that she did not tell Luo Junhe that she was going to the palace to see Concubine Li today. How did he know about it?

But on second thought, Chen Hu's big mouth might not be able to keep secrets, and if Luo Junhe lied to him casually, he would probably tell all his whereabouts.

Ji Yuntang cursed Chen Hu in his heart for being too talkative, but he smiled and said, "No, Concubine Li asked me to come to the palace to learn the rules. After I learned them, she let me go back. She also praised me for being smart and learning well."

Luo Junhe pursed his lips and said nothing.

He knew very well that Ji Yuntang said this just to prevent him from worrying about her.

In fact, what she encountered today could never be taken so lightly.

Luo Junhe was silent for a long time, and finally spoke to Ji Yuntang about some past events.

"Atang, although I am the only son of my mother, I don't know why. She has disliked me since I was born. As far as I can remember, my mother has never hugged me, let alone sat with me to eat. She is very strict with me. From childhood to adulthood, I have not received the treatment that other princes have, and I have never tasted the delicious food that other princes have eaten. I have always thought that I am not good enough, so I have disappointed my mother."

"So for the past twenty-two years, I have worked hard to practice martial arts, study, and lead troops in battle, all in the hope that my mother would see my ability and recognize me. But later I realized that I was wrong. Some people are destined to never please my mother no matter how hard they try. Gradually, I became disappointed with family affection."

"Everyone outside thinks that my mother treats me very well, but only I know that I am nothing in her heart. I am not even as good as a hair of Luo Qianxue. She didn't like me when I was in good health before. Now that I have become like this, she dislikes me even more."

The buried past came to his mind, Luo Junhe felt bitter and sighed helplessly.

"Ah Tang, marrying me is unfair to you. I guess my mother didn't look kind to you today. I know I can't help you in my current state. But if this happens again in the future, don't hide it from me and go to see my mother alone. I'm afraid she will do you harm."

After listening to all he said, Ji Yuntang couldn't help but feel a little sad.

She squatted beside the bed, walked forward, held Luo Junhe's hand, and used her body temperature to warm his hands.

"Ah He, the past is over. No matter what happens in the future, I will face it with you. It's not your fault that Concubine Li doesn't like you. Whether she approves of you or not, you will always be the greatest hero in my heart."
