Reborn as the Crippled King's Beloved-Chapter 125 - Heir Su Suffers from Kidney Yin Deficiency
Chapter 125: Chapter 125 Heir Su Suffers from Kidney Yin Deficiency
Seeing Murong Jiu’s eyes and the bridge of her nose reddened, Jun Yuyan held her even tighter.
“Ah Jiu, you deserve the best of everything in the world. I will bring them to you, step by step.”
His Ah Jiu was a dusty treasure of this world.
She had suffered too much mistreatment, which was why she was moved by even the slightest kindness.
But Murong Jiu didn’t see it that way. What Jun Yuyan had done for her, was it merely a little?
In her past life and this life, she still could not repay him.
Jun Yuyan was the kind of person who would silently do a hundred things for her in the background and never speak of them, while Haoze was the kind who, having done one thing, couldn’t wait to treat it as a hundred and demand credit in return.
The difference between a gentleman and a petty man was obvious at a glance.
On the ride back, Murong Jiu simply told Jun Yuyan everything she knew about Consort Jing and The Third Prince, advising him to make his plans.
With his clever mind, he certainly had a way to remotely benefit without bloodshed.
Just as she had thought, soon the agents from Yingtian Academy relayed back messages; The Third Prince had not actually been demoted to the academy. In fact, the Emperor had arranged for several contemporary scholars of reclusive reputation to teach The Third Prince, including a former Grand Tutor who had retired to the countryside and who had been one of the Emperor’s own teachers.
This clearly showed the level of the Emperor’s concern for The Third Prince.
That night, Heir Su Kai hurried to the Prince Mansion and talked with Jun Yuyan for half the night.
Murong Jiu felt someone join her in bed in the middle of the night, embracing her, but by morning he was gone.
Su Kai didn’t leave until the next afternoon. Before leaving the Prince Mansion, he specifically asked to see her.
“If not for the Princess Consort’s rescue, my brother would have been gone. Although he still has psychological shadows, as long as one is alive, there’s nothing that can’t be overcome. I thank the Princess Consort on his behalf and also on behalf of our Su Family.”
Su Kai spoke with sincere earnestness. His face no longer wore its previous carefree expression when facing her.
“Saving a life is more meritorial than building a seven-story stupa. As long as it’s possible, I will not stand by and watch someone die.”
At this, she suddenly remembered something, stood up from her chair, and walked towards Su Kai: “Would the Princely Heir be willing to let me take his pulse?”
Su Kai looked puzzled.
At that moment, Jun Yuyan, hearing her voice, quickly entered through the door.
“Why does Ah Jiu want to take his pulse? Does he look unwell, or is there something wrong with his body?”
Murong Jiu was actually reminded of an incident from her past life.
In her previous life, the Su Family under the Marquis of Wuan was implicated because of a rebellion led by General Fu’s family. They were suspected by the Emperor, caught in a supposed fault, and the entire family was exiled thousands of miles away.
Though it was called exile, the entire family died on the way, reportedly having inhaled chronic poison, succumbing to it.
And Su Kai had died before the Su Family’s incident, his death reported to be quite tragic, but she didn’t know why.
So she wanted to see if Su Kai at this time had been poisoned.
She had just been observing Su Kai and noticed his complexion was a bit pale, but she couldn’t see anything else; she wondered if it was just because he hadn’t rested well.
She explained to Jun Yuyan, “The Princely Heir’s complexion doesn’t look too good. Taking his pulse will be reassuring.”
Su Kai laughed heartily: “I’m in excellent health, I could punch a cow to death!”
Jun Yuyan, however, frowned slightly and told him, “Hold out your hand.”
Under the compelling presence of Jun Yuyan, although Su Kai didn’t think there was anything wrong with his body, having the Princess Consort take his pulse felt harmless enough.
Murong Jiu grasped his pulse and closed her eyes to feel it.
After a while, she breathed a sigh of relief, “It seems that the Princely Heir truly has a strong constitution, but his kidneys are a bit deficient in yin, and he needs to exercise some restraint in his marital duties.”
Upon hearing this, Su Kai blushed deeply, stammering, “Wha-what lack of restraint…”
Jun Yuyan spared him no embarrassment, telling Murong Jiu, “Not long ago, someone gifted him a concubine. Initially, he was not fond of women, but this concubine made him break his abstinence.”
Murong Jiu smiled and said, “Any woman who can catch the Princely Heir’s fancy must be very interesting indeed.”
Su Kai’s face turned even redder, but a tender look crossed his eyes when he mentioned that woman, showing he truly liked her.
Sparing him further teasing, Murong Jiu instructed,
“The Princely Heir’s physique is fundamentally strong, and with a few days of rest, he will recover. He doesn’t even need medicinal soups. Also, if anyone in your residence feels unwell, they can come to the Prince Mansion for a consultation; I find myself quite idle there.”
The Su Family also had other younger members, and Su Kai had several cousins around her age. By saying this, she hoped to detect the slow-acting poison in the Su Family earlier and resolve this hidden danger sooner.
Su Kai was viewed importantly by Jun Yuyan, his close friend, with whom he had faced life and death in the military camps.
Moreover, such a crucial matter concerning Consort Jing Pin and The Third Prince was something Jun Yuyan was willing to discuss with Su Kai, emphasizing its importance.
Busy, Su Kai said, “As long as the Princess Consort doesn’t mind, I’ll send Lady Yao to keep the Princess Consort company.”
Lady Yao was the concubine who occupied a special place in Su Kai’s heart.
Murong Jiu smiled and nodded, “Of course I don’t mind. I would love to have some company.”
After sending Su Kai off, Jun Yuyan returned, insisting on squeezing onto the same noble consort’s couch with her, while touching her stomach to feel for any fetal movement, and asked her,
“Ah Jiu, is there a problem with Su Kai’s family?”
He was keenly observant, and Murong Jiu knew she couldn’t hide her earlier abnormality from him, nor did she intend to.
But since nothing had happened yet, she said, “I’m still not certain, can I tell you once I am sure, Prince?”
Jun Yuyan smiled and nodded, then suddenly buried his head in her snow-white neck, whispering softly,
“Ah Jiu, I also want to be deficient in kidney yin. I’ve asked Uncle Zhai, and after three months of pregnancy, it is permissible…”
Murong Jiu’s face visibly reddened, and to Jun Yuyan, this flush only made her more appealing.
He gingerly kissed her earlobe.
An oddly tingling sensation spread, and Murong Jiu felt her entire body could melt into water. She gently pushed him and said, “Prince, it’s still broad daylight. How about… tonight?”
Her voice was as soft as a whisper, but to Jun Yuyan, it sounded like heavenly music.

Jun Yuyan leaped up like an excited boy, exclaiming happily, “That’s what Ah Jiu said!”
His ear tips were also a shade of red.
Though they were parents already, they were still less experienced in this regard than Su Kai.
With his official duties already done, Jun Yuyan stayed by her side indefinitely. After having their evening meal while the evening sky was still aglow, he hurriedly called for water to bathe.
Murong Jiu felt so embarrassed she could hardly face anyone, and even Chun Tao guessed what was going to happen and snuck giggles.
After she finished bathing, she quickly got into bed, wrapping herself tightly in a quilt, with only her head sticking out.
Thinking of what was to come, her whole body felt weak, and her heart pounded like thunder.
