Medical Consort, the Prince is Pretending to be Dumb Again

Chapter 587: A Man’s Lifetime Pain

Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Yong’an Inn was usually managed by the innkeeper, but everyone knew there was a silent mastermind behind the scenes. What they didn’t know was that this unassuming innkeeper was actually a humble carriage driver in the service of King Dun Yu’s Residence!

Li Xin gazed at the night sky, sighed deeply, and murmured with melancholy, “Since my master got a wife, this is all I’ve been doing—these clandestine activities under the cover of darkness. What have I become?”

Counting the incidents, he wondered, how many had there been?

Gathering intelligence from various sources, that was a minor issue.

The first time Huangfu Lingyao ordered him to cut off the hand of a servant in a medical hall, he was shocked!

He had asked at the time, “Master, why would this servant provoke your anger?”

It wasn’t surprising that Li Xin had asked this question. Since Huangfu Lingyao had feigned madness, he had endured much humiliation, but it was the kind that involved taunting, beating, and ridicule, which he never took seriously.

Those who had wronged him were all noted in his black ledger, waiting for the right moment for revenge.

Their young prince was a complex character—innocent and foolish in appearance, but harboring a deep resentment within him, with strong endurance and patience.

This act of venting anger by maiming someone seemed entirely out of character for Huangfu Lingyao!

Surprisingly, their prince, who looked like an ethereal being, said, “That servant’s name is Zhang’er. He not only spoke ill of my wife but also marred her face! My wife resembles a fairy; how could she have any flaws?”

Li Xin fell into silence.

That was just the beginning!

Similar incidents became increasingly frequent, and tonight’s event… Li Xin believed, “This will definitely not be the last time!”

The next day, at the Grand Court.

Wang Lan organized the case files of Du Gong, who was spreading leprosy and plotting to assassinate the prince. He had prepared to send the documents to the palace.

Suddenly, a messenger arrived, “Lord Wang, Du Gong got into a fight with another prisoner in the jail! That man pinned him down and even stomped on his… on his manhood, sir!”

Wang Lan widened his eyes, “What did you say? Stomped on what?”

Wait, wasn’t the main concern why Du Gong fought with another prisoner?

The bailiff seemed uneasy, “Isn’t it about his lineage? This act of cutting off his descendants is too harsh, isn’t it?”

Wang Lan hesitated, thinking about the letter sent by Madam Wang from the Liang family. He asked, “Is he alive?”

“Not dead! But a doctor was called, and he said that part is ruined!” the bailiff replied.

Wang Lan took a deep breath and said, “Anyway, he’s facing a death sentence. He won’t have a complete body even if he dies. If he’s still alive, I can report to the Emperor!”

His cousin, who had married into the Liang family, had requested his help to apply additional torture to Du Gong in prison. Torture was necessary, but it had only been a few days, and they hadn’t extracted much information yet.

And now, a fight between prisoners had occurred?

Oh, don’t ask why Du Gong, a condemned criminal, was kept with others. It was intentional!

Well, when you thought about it, didn’t it make sense?

In the end, it was all to make sure Du Gong suffered!

Wang Lan picked up the case files and said, “Forget it, forget it. Go tell the jailer to isolate Du Gong. We’ll wait for the Emperor’s judgment.”

Du Gong was ruined like this…

Misfortunes never come singly.

Being deprived of one’s descendants was a man’s lifelong pain. Especially for someone who took pride in that aspect, losing the only thing he held dear was akin to a fate worse than death!

That night, not only Du Gong, but also…

Zhang Qingxi!
