Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath

Seeing the emperor come in, everyone knelt hurriedly to pay their respects. The emperor took a few quick steps and personally helped the wife of Duke Lu up: "Old lady, there is no need to be so polite."

Lady Lu: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor looked at the people in the room and asked with a smile, "What are you talking about?"

The people in the room looked at each other in confusion. How could they say that they were discussing whether the emperor could have children?

No one spoke. Qiao Haomin was the first to break the silence. He pulled Duan Liang in front of the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that you were very ill a while ago. This is the doctor we invited to see you."

In front of the emperor, Qiao Haomin still knew how to speak.

The emperor looked at Duan Liang in surprise and asked, "Why is it a woman?"

Duan Liang said reluctantly: "Your Majesty, I am a man."

The emperor was even more surprised. He looked Duan Liang up and down and said, "You are a woman. I never realized it. You look so much like her."

Duan Liang's face stretched even longer. Qiao Haomin knew his temper and was afraid that the emperor would upset him and stop treating him properly, so he hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, men cannot enter the harem at will. We have no other choice but to resort to this measure. Please forgive me for deceiving you."

The emperor felt sad in his heart that his life as a king was really miserable. He had to be so secretive when seeing a doctor.

He spoke softly, "What's there to forgive? It's my fault. I made this doctor suffer for me and the Queen. No matter what the outcome is today, I will reward you handsomely."

Duan Liang's expression improved a lot, and he regained his composure. He took a few steps forward and said, "Your Majesty, I am here to diagnose your pulse."

The emperor was also anxious and stretched out his hand very cooperatively. Compared with the empress, Duan Liang spent much less time taking the emperor's pulse. He sensed something was wrong as soon as he placed his hand on the pulse.

The emperor has kidney yang deficiency, although it is not very serious now, but this should not happen at his current age.

He glanced at the wife of the Duke of Lu and the other female relatives. The Queen understood what he meant and stood up and said to her, "Grandmother, you haven't been to the palace for a long time. Come with me to the back garden. The plum blossoms there are in full bloom."

The wife of the Duke of Lu stood up and said, "I was feeling that the charcoal fire in this room was too strong and it was a bit stuffy. I thought it would be a good opportunity to go out and get some fresh air with the Queen."

After the women left, Qiao Haomin thought about it and left too.

When the Emperor and Duan Liang were the only ones left in the room, the Emperor asked grimly, "But what problems have you found?"

Duan Liang did not answer but asked first: "Is the emperor unable to do what he wants in terms of sex?"

The emperor was a little confused. He thought it was okay, mainly because he didn't know what it was like. Generally, men in the royal family would have aunts who taught them about sex early on, and would have personal maids to serve them. However, when he ascended the throne, he was still young and no one taught him. Later, no one knew whether it was intentional or they forgot, but no one taught him this knowledge.

It was not until the eve of his wedding that King Liang sent an aunt from the palace to teach him how to have sex.

He has learned it and has been practicing it frequently with the Queen recently. He thinks he is getting better at it, but he has never competed with other men, so he doesn't know what level is considered normal performance and what level is considered beyond his ability. Anyway, he doesn't feel any difficulty.

Duan Liang knew from his expression that the emperor didn't quite understand, so he changed the question: "Before your majesty got married, had you ever thought about this? Did you even dream about it?"

The emperor thought about it and shook his head: Ever since he was designated as the crown prince, he has had endless classes and homework to learn, so how could he have the energy to think about random things?

Duan Liang: "What about after you get married? Do you often think about this?"

The emperor shook his head again. If he missed the queen often, he would not come to the queen so often. Even if he did not like the queen, she was the only woman in the harem and he could only go to the queen when he needed something. However, he was not keen on this before. If it were not for having a child, he might not have come to the queen so often recently.

Duan Liang understood and said after a moment's deliberation, "Your Majesty's condition is due to kidney yang deficiency. At your age, you should be full of energy. This is probably why you are not enthusiastic about this matter."

The emperor hurriedly asked, "Will it affect my offspring?"

Duan Liang: "At the moment, it has some impact, but it's not too serious and can be treated. However, if it's left untreated for a long time, not only will it affect your offspring, I'm afraid you'll have trouble having sex."

The emperor was horrified: "Is there any way to cure it?"

Duan Liang: "It's not difficult to treat, but I see that the rest of your body is very healthy. It's just kidney deficiency, which is probably not congenital. There must be something around you that is affecting your health. If we can't find the cause, even if you are cured, it won't be long before you return to this state. You can't take medicine all the time. If it happens repeatedly, it will cause greater damage to your body."

The emperor was seething with rage, his fury rising to his head. He felt dizzy and black in the distance. Duan Liang quickly supported the emperor and gently massaged his acupuncture points, "Your Majesty, you must control your emotions. Constant anger is not good for you. Even the best medicine will be useless if you're in a bad mood."

The dizziness gradually dissipated, and the emperor said with a gloomy face: "I understand, but I can't control it."

Whenever he thought about how he had been living in lies and calculations for so many years, he couldn't help but want to destroy the world.

Duan Liang advised: "You need to be more open-minded. If you get sick from anger, the people behind you will definitely become even more arrogant."

He is an extremely intelligent man. Although Duke Lu did not say it explicitly, judging from the emperor's physical condition and reactions today, coupled with the fever-reducing medicine he took a few days ago, Duan Liang knew that someone must be trying to murder the emperor.

He didn't want to get involved in the struggle for imperial power, but since he was already here, he couldn't retreat. He could only cure the emperor. Maybe after curing the emperor, he would have a bigger backer.

The emperor knew he was right. He calmed down and asked, "How can we find out the reason?"

Duan Liang thought for a moment and said, "Everything you come into contact with, including food, clothing, housing, and daily necessities, must be checked."

The emperor said harshly, "Then investigate. You will return with me later."

Lady Lu and others accompanied the Queen and the Empress for a meal, leaving the Queen's sister to stay with her for a few days, and the others left.

Before leaving, Qiao Haomin took out the crystal headpiece and gave it to the Queen: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with your health. You should relax. Only when you are in a good mood can you be in good health. Don't worry, no matter what happens, your family will protect you."

Looking at the glittering crystal headpiece, the queen was both moved and delighted. She thanked Qiao Haomin with tears in her eyes: "Uncle, thank you. From childhood to adulthood, you have always cared about me the most. Don't worry, I will be fine."

As the people from the Duke of Lu's Mansion left the palace, the emperor also returned to his own bedroom, but when he left, he took Duan Liang, who was wearing eunuch clothes, with him.

Duan Liang followed the emperor with a look of despair on his face. He knew that no good would come of entering the palace, and now he was dressed as a eunuch. He comforted himself in his heart that it was okay, a eunuch was at least half a man, which was better than pretending to be a woman.

On the way, he met Zou Tai who was on duty. Zou Tai looked at Duan Liang who was lowering his head and did not recognize him. He was wondering why this unfamiliar eunuch had the same donkey face as the maid from the Duke of Lu's mansion whom he met today. Is this face shape popular now?

Duan Liang, who was feeling unhappy, didn't know what Zou Tai was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely stab him to death with a needle: You are the donkey-faced one, your whole family is donkey-faced.
