Chapter 243 Hidden Disease
Chapter 243 Hidden Disease
"First, take him away and lock him up, and give him thirty lashes every day."
"Yes."
After everyone left, King Dingyuan called the guards around Wu Tiancheng.
For some reason, he always felt that there was something wrong with this matter, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
The son of a former Minister of Agriculture of the Ministry of Works actually dared to plot against the son of the Prince of Dingyuan. Was Chen Cheng really so courageous?
Wu Tiancheng's guards came in soon.
"I'm asking you, when you were in Yicheng, did the prince have a conflict with a man named Chen over a girl named Xiaoying?"
After hearing what King Dingyuan said, Wu Tiancheng's guards stood there and thought for a long time, but they couldn't remember anything.
It's not that he has a bad memory, but over the years, there have been too many conflicts between their prince and others over girls. If he remembered every single one of them, he would probably have died of exhaustion long ago.
"What? You can't remember, or it didn't happen?" After waiting for the guard's answer for a long time, King Dingyuan raised his eyes and looked over coldly.
The guard was so frightened by Prince Dingyuan's cold eyes that he trembled with fear. He searched hard in his mind.
Finally, just before Prince Dingyuan was about to lose his temper, he vaguely remembered a man named Chen.
"Your Highness, I now remember that there is indeed such a person." The guard slapped his head.
"Tell me about the specific situation at that time." King Dingyuan frowned.
"At that time, I was walking on the street with the prince, and I ran into a man with his servants and a beautiful woman.
The prince fell in love with the girl at first sight, so he wanted to buy her from the man.
But the man was a stubborn person. He was unwilling to do so and said that he was from the capital, his surname was Chen, and he had important people above him. He used this to threaten the prince.
The prince was straightforward and could not stand his words, so he asked us to beat up the man and snatch the woman away.
The guard said, lowering his head.
Although he spoke nicely, he couldn't hide the fact that this matter was their fault.
"There is actually such a thing." Prince Dingyuan glared at the guard fiercely.
Considering Wu Tiancheng’s previous “great achievements”, it was obvious that this matter was not at all what the guards said.
However, even if his son stole someone else's woman, the man named Chen Cheng actually dared to hurt his own son, so he deserves to die!
"Order to chop off Chen Cheng's feet, cast him a pair of iron feet with molten iron, nail them to the underground cell, and beat him with a whip dipped in chili water every day.
But don't let anyone die. We'll kill him when we leave."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand." Upon hearing the punishment of King Dingyuan, the guard couldn't help but shudder.
Even though she had followed the prince for many years and had seen countless punishments, she was always frightened by the new ways of torture that the prince came up with.
After punishing Chen Cheng, King Dingyuan left the room and prepared to go see his son again.
When Prince Dingyuan entered, Wu Tiancheng was losing his temper.
The room was filled with a strong herbal smell, bitter and a bit fishy, which made people hold their breath.
King Dingyuan couldn't help but frowning, paused, and walked inside again.
At this time, the imperial physician who was treating Wu Tiancheng was trying to control his temper and persuade Wu Tiancheng. The two guards arranged by King Dingyuan, one was standing at the door and the other was standing beside Wu Tiancheng's bed.
Wu Tiancheng was still lying in bed, but he was much better than before.
The injuries on his body have almost healed, but his body is still a little weak.
Wu Tiancheng had sharp eyes and was facing outside, so he saw Prince Dingyuan walk in at a glance.
"Father, please have a quick look! This man is trying to poison me to death." Wu Tiancheng was cornered by the imperial physician and the guards.
These days, he is almost going crazy because of this medicine.
"Drug?" King Dingyuan frowned even more tightly.
"Your Highness, that's not the case. The prince doesn't want to take the medicine, so he said that. Look, the medicine for lunch today was spilled by His Highness the prince again."
The imperial physician's face was full of bitterness and he couldn't smile at all.
Wu Tiancheng is simply a living devil, he has really had enough.
If his family were not still in the hands of Prince Dingyuan, he would have quit long ago.
This is totally inhumane thing to do. Even the emperor's son wouldn't treat him like this!
Wu Tiancheng, the son of a prince of a different surname, is even more arrogant and domineering than the emperor's son.
After hearing the words of the imperial physician, Prince Dingyuan looked again at the medicine bowl that had just been knocked over on the ground, thought of his son's character, and roughly understood what was going on.
Seeing that his father's face looked strange, Wu Tiancheng quickly spoke first.
"Father, he really wants to harm me. These medicines are pitch black and smell fishy. Are they medicine for humans? Isn't he deliberately poisoning me and trying to kill me?"
"Your Highness, we are wise. These medicines are for regulating the health of the prince. They are definitely not poisons." The imperial physician had no way of arguing.
"You're still quibbling." Wu Tiancheng glared at the imperial physician fiercely, then looked at Prince Dingyuan as if asking for help.
"Father, my body is almost fully recovered and the wounds on my body have basically healed. There is no need to take medicine to recuperate. He must have ulterior motives."
When he heard the word "conditioning", Prince Dingyuan knew that these medicines were for treating hidden diseases.
He raised his hand to signal the imperial physician, guards and everyone else in the room to leave, leaving only himself in the room.
"Tiancheng, I ordered the imperial physician to prepare these medicines. They are all for treating your hidden illness."
Prince Dingyuan glanced at his son, sighed, and sat on the chair next to him.
He slowly repeated to Wu Tiancheng everything the imperial physician had said before, without missing a word.
After hearing what King Dingyuan said, Wu Tiancheng was stunned.
"What? Father, how is this possible? Everything was fine that night." Wu Tiancheng asked back with eyes wide open.
However, the person in front of him was his father, and he would not harm him. Was there really something wrong with his body?
"Hmph, don't you have any aphrodisiac incense?" King Dingyuan snorted coldly.
The aphrodisiac scent in the room was so strong at that time, how could he not smell it?
"I..." Wu Tiancheng was speechless.
After Prince Dingyuan's reminder, he finally remembered that he seemed to be a little powerless in sex in the past two years.
When doing things, not only do they often light aphrodisiac incense, but sometimes they even take pills to help increase their interest.
Especially in the past six months, he has had to take medicine almost every time.
Am I really unable to do it?
Seeing Wu Tiancheng's frustrated expression, King Dingyuan glared at him with disappointment.
