After getting married, she spent every night alone in her room; when she asked for a divorce, he kne

Outside the Stork Tower, a crowd surged as a gilded ebony carriage slowly emerged from the throng and headed straight for the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

Inside the carriage, Xiao Jinghan rested his head on his hand, his eyes closed as if taking a short nap. His long eyelashes trembled slightly with the swaying of the carriage, showing that he was not sleeping soundly.

After the incident at the Wind Altar, although he asked the emperor for leave, he still encountered a series of troubles.

The one who gave him the biggest headache was Jin Gongzheng.

On the surface, Jin Gongzheng is a cruel official in charge of criminal justice, but in reality, he is the emperor's henchman. Over the years, he has been searching everywhere for the whereabouts of the rebels, trying to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

He and Jin Gongzheng had never had much of a relationship, but ever since Jin Gongzheng entered the Censorate, he had become obsessed with him like a ghost.

Over the past three years, they have clashed countless times in secret, yet they have always maintained a facade of peace. However, after the incident at the Wind Sacrifice Altar, Xiao Jinghan suddenly no longer wanted to maintain this peace.

Confused and troubled, Xiao Jinghan frowned, suppressing the restlessness in his heart.

The carriage continued smoothly forward.

A wisp of night breeze drifted in, gathering inside the carriage, causing the vehicle to suddenly lurch.

Jiang Yue, one of the four great assassins of the martial arts world, appeared beside Xiao Jinghan without anyone noticing, tilting her head to look at him.

"You're here?" Sensing the presence of the person beside him, Xiao Jinghan opened his eyes, his gaze serene and devoid of any trace of drunkenness. "How did things go?"

"The tongue is healed." Jiang Yue handed a letter to Xiao Jinghan. "This is from Doctor Wen."

"Hmm." Xiao Jinghan tucked the letter into his pocket. "When you took Xu Shi away, no one noticed, right?"

"without."

"That's good," Xiao Jinghan said. "Tell them to behave themselves lately and not run around, or that mad dog Jin Gongzheng will find them."

"Um."

"Does Doctor Wen have a way to cure Liu Yuansheng's sore throat?"

"I'm not sure," Jiang Yue said. "We'd have to meet in person."

Xiao Jinghan nodded, knowing that to cure Liu Yuansheng's throat, he needed to meet with Doctor Wen.

However, this move was too risky, and Xiao Jinghan could not do it for the safety of Doctor Wen.

"We'll talk about this later. You can go now."

Jiang Yue didn't leave. Instead, she took out a small medicine bottle from her bosom and threw it into Xiao Jinghan's arms.

Xiao Jinghan picked up the medicine bottle. "What is this?"

Jiang Yue: "Medicine."

"Medicine?" Xiao Jinghan turned the bottle around and asked, "What kind of medicine?"

"Here's your medicine." Jiang Yue held up one finger and waved it at Xiao Jinghan with a serious expression. "You... can't do it."

"I...can't?" Xiao Jinghan tried hard to understand those three words. "Why can't I?"

Jiang Yue glanced down and pointed to Xiao Jinghan's crotch, "That won't do."

Xiao Jinghan was shocked; the last trace of drunkenness in his body instantly vanished. "What were you all talking about me behind my back?" he roared. "And who told you I'm impotent?"

Jiang Yue blinked. "Me."

"Oh, you. You told them that," Xiao Jinghan said angrily. "What makes you think I'm incapable?"

Without hesitation, Jiang Yue said, "You, rock the bed."

Xiao Jinghan: "..."

He closed his eyes, sat up, and pointed expressionlessly at the car door. "Get out."

Jiang Yue left without hesitation, but before leaving, she turned back to remind him, "Remember to take your medicine."

Xiao Jinghan: "Get out!!!"

-

In the dead of night, the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion was completely silent.

Xiao Jinghan strolled leisurely to Chenxiang Courtyard and saw that the light was still on in Liu Yuansheng's room, so he pushed the door open and went in.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw his grandmother sitting upright, the physician with a lifeless expression, two unfamiliar women dressed in court attire, and Liu Yuansheng sitting on the edge of the bed like a frightened bird.

"Grandmother? It's so late, why aren't you going back to sleep? What are you doing staying in Chenxiang Courtyard?"

Xiao Jinghan asked with a smile. Old Madam Shi also asked him with a smile, "Han'er, look at you, you reek of alcohol. Where have you been going to have some fun?"

"I didn't go anywhere, just had a few drinks with some colleagues." Xiao Jinghan walked to the old lady's side, casually placing his hand on her wheelchair. "Grandmother, you should sleep now. Shall I take you home?"

"No rush, no rush, Han'er, come here."

The old lady grasped Xiao Jinghan's wrist and brought him in front of her. "Once Grandmother understands something, I'll leave immediately."

Xiao Jinghan: "What is it?"

The old lady's smile deepened. "Well, that's it. Someone come here!"

The old lady suddenly roared, "Take this wretched child away!"

"yes!"

The guards who had been lying in ambush in Liu Yuansheng's room came out in full force, quickly tied up Xiao Jinghan, and forced him to kneel in front of the old lady.

Xiao Jinghan didn't resist at all, only asking with a wronged expression, "Grandmother, what are you doing?"

"Shut up! Do you think I don't know? You abandoned your wife and ran off to the Stork Tower to have a good time!"

The old lady gritted her teeth and smacked Xiao Jinghan with her cane. "You wretched child! What did you promise me? You said you would treat Yuan Sheng well!"

"Ouch! Grandmother, that hurts!" Xiao Jinghan cried out. "Grandmother, I only had two glasses of wine, I didn't do anything else!"

"What else do you want to do? Huh? What do you want to do?"

The old lady pounded Xiao Jinghan's cane a few more times, venting her anger, and said, "If I don't teach you a lesson today, I'll be a disgrace to being your grandmother! Guards, strip him naked!"

Two servants approached and began to tear off Xiao Jinghan's clothes, trembling. Xiao Jinghan desperately tried to dodge, "Grandmother, if you want to hit me, just hit me. Why are you tearing off my clothes?"

"Shut up!" the old lady said to the two maids. "In a moment, drag him inside and give him a thorough examination."

The old woman nodded in agreement, but then a delicate little medicine bottle fell out of Xiao Jinghan's arms and landed on the ground.

"What is this?" the old lady asked, holding out her hand. "Let me see it!"

Granny Tian picked up the medicine bottle and handed it to the old lady. The old lady opened it, smelled it, and then handed it to the physician behind her, saying, "Take a look at what's inside."

The physician, his eyes bloodshot from staying up all night, still obediently took the medicine bottle and carefully examined it.

Then, his cloudy eyes instantly became clearer.

"Physician, what's in here?"

The physician gave Xiao Jinghan a complicated look, cleared his throat and said, "Madam, this prescription uses Cistanche deserticola, Epimedium, and piscissus. It is warm but not drying, and is specifically used to tonify the kidney yang of men, invigorate yang and consolidate essence, and treat symptoms of physical weakness and yang deficiency."

The old lady was stunned, "Han'er, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, her throat tightened, and she sobbed out in anguish, "Oh God..."
