On our wedding night, my wife acted strangely.

After Lin Yi finished giving his instructions, two retainers dressed in armor came out and bowed to Lin Yi.

"Your Highness, Miss Xiuzhu was hiding suspiciously outside, and I have caught her."

Lin Yi nodded, showing no surprise on his face.

Having an affair is unthinkable without someone keeping watch. Blame Tang San for being too fast, leaving her no time to react.

"Take him to the dungeon and subject him to severe torture."

"yes!"

Upon hearing that she was to be severely tortured, Xiuzhu's legs immediately went weak, and she burst into tears, crying, "No, Your Highness! I know I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again! Please spare my life, Your Highness!"

"Your Highness!! I'll tell you everything, please don't torture me! Your Highness!!"

Lin An was so annoyed by her calling him that he waved his hand and quickly ordered his servants to take her away.

Luo Qingyu's heart tightened. She was about to plead for mercy when two burly old women grabbed her from either side.

"Let me go! What are you doing?!"

The old women had deathly expressions on their faces and didn't say a word. They just increased their strength and forcibly dragged her towards the west wing.

"Let me go! I am a princess, how dare you hold me hostage!"

Lin Yi didn't even glance at her; in fact, he made way for Luo Qingyu when she was being led away.

He instructed Lin An: "Drag the soldiers on guard duty today to the dungeon and give them thirty strokes of the cane. Tell them that if anyone sneaks into the mansion again, no matter how many years they've served, kill them without exception."

"Yes."

"Also, spread the word that the Fourth Prince, Nangong Jin, sneaked into the Regent's Palace with malicious intent, but was bitten by a vicious dog and is now in critical condition." At this point, Lin Yi smiled mischievously, "Hehehe, let's ruin his reputation first."

After saying that, Lin Yi put his hands behind his back and started walking out of the cave. "Beating your wife on a rainy day, you might as well do something else since you're bored anyway."

......

In the afternoon, the pair of stone lions outside the Ninth Prince's Mansion exuded a ferocious majesty under the blazing sun.

A blue cloth carriage stopped in front of the mansion gate.

The coachman jumped down and clasped his hands in greeting to the imperial guards at the gate: "Brother, please go and announce that the Fourth Prince has returned."

Upon hearing this, the guard gave him a strange look.

He thought to himself, "Another one trying to climb the social ladder."

It seems that Lin Yi has driven these merchants to the brink of despair; they're even resorting to digging tunnels to get on the Fourth Prince's good side.

"Kid, I've seen plenty of guys like you trying to set up a bridge. Tell me, how much silver is in the cart? If it's too little, we can't pass on the message."

The servant was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

Judging from this, someone is actually sending money to your Ninth Prince's Mansion? The steward didn't mention this when we arrived.

He paused, then took out a waist token from the Regent's Palace from his pocket and handed it over.

"Brother, this is our Regent's Palace's credentials. My lord said that the Fourth Prince sneaked into the Regent's Palace with malicious intent, but was bitten by a vicious dog. My lord is a kind man and felt quite guilty, so he asked a doctor to give him some basic treatment, but... it wasn't very effective, so he quickly sent us back."

Were you bitten by a dog?

The guard chuckled, "Hahaha, you little rascal, you can't even come up with a believable lie. The Fourth Prince is skilled in both literature and martial arts, how could he be injured by a mere vicious dog! Get lost, get lost! I hate people like you who never tell the truth. Just tell me how much money you brought."

The servant thought to himself, "Why is it that these days no one believes the truth?"

He pointed to the carriage: "If you don't believe me, see for yourself."

"Tch." The guard scoffed, then actually stepped down the steps and used his sword to lift the carriage curtain.

One glance was enough to terrify me to death!

Inside the carriage, Nangong Jin lay with his eyes closed, his lips blue, and his face as white as paper. His black training clothes were soaked in blood, especially the crotch area, where a large patch of black and red blood was still seeping out. A strong stench of blood, mixed with a faint pungent odor, filled the air.

"My God!"

"Your Highness!" The guard, without waiting for further questions, shouted at the top of his lungs towards the mansion, "Someone come quick! Something's happened to the Fourth Prince! Go and fetch Eunuch Suo! Hurry!"

"oh!!"

In an instant, the entire Ninth Prince's Mansion was thrown into chaos.

Seeing that the task was accomplished, the servant quickly threw down the reins and, taking advantage of the chaos, slipped away.

Are you kidding me? If you don't run now, what are you waiting for? To be caught and tortured?

He didn't believe that His Highness the Regent would personally negotiate with the Ninth Prince's Mansion for his sake.

So it's best not to cause that trouble.

Nangong Jin was carried into her courtyard by the flustered guards. Immediately afterwards, her maids, servants, and young men rushed around, all of them pale with fright.

Upon hearing the news, the personal eunuch Suo Dahai rushed over and saw Nangong Jin lying unconscious on the bed with his lower body in a mess. He immediately felt dizzy and almost fainted on the spot.

"Your Highness! My Highness!" Suo Dahai rushed to the bedside, spitting snot onto Nangong Jin's face. "What happened to you? Who did this?!"

The guard who had just gone to fetch the person repeated the servant's words in a trembling voice.

Suo Dahai could hardly believe his ears: "Bited by a dog?! Bullshit! What kind of dog could bite His Highness like this?"

Nangong Jin knew kung fu, and he was quite skilled at it, but Suo Dahai simply didn't believe it.

The guard spread his hands: "I don't know either."

"Stop talking nonsense! Quickly invite all the famous doctors in the capital, along with the imperial physicians from the palace, to come here! Go now!" Suo Dahai roared in a shrill voice, his tone distorted.

In truth, he knew better than anyone that his wealth, honor, and even his life were inextricably linked to Nangong Jin.

If anything were to happen to Nangong Jin, his personal eunuch would be doomed.

Soon, several of the most renowned doctors in the capital, along with several imperial physicians, were hurriedly summoned to the Ninth Prince's residence. Two midwives were also brought along, supposedly to ward off evil spirits and protect the house.

A group of people surrounded Nangong Jin's bed, taking his pulse and examining his wounds.

They chattered and chattered, but in the end, everyone's faces turned serious and they fell silent.

The atmosphere in the room was extremely oppressive. Apart from Nangong Jin occasionally letting out a few painful groans, all that could be heard were the heavy breathing of the doctors.

Suo Dahai paced anxiously to the side. Seeing a doctor emerge with his hands covered in blood, he grabbed him and asked, "How is it? Is His Highness's injury serious?"

The old doctor was covered in sweat, his lips trembling, and he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Suo Dahai's heart skipped a beat: "Say something!"

"Father...Father-in-law, please don't worry." Another folk doctor, who looked more experienced, stepped forward, sighed, and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Suo Dahai: "His Highness's injuries are truly too severe."

"Just say it!"

"Your Highness's life may be saved, but his manhood has been bitten off at the root, along with his scrotum. Even a celestial being descending to earth couldn't reattach it. From now on... Your Highness will probably never be able to perform sexual acts again."
