Xie Xuanchen immediately wanted to slap himself. He knew that he should always be careful, but why didn’t he pay attention to his words?! Xie Xuanchen didn’t dare to answer it directly, so he tried to remedy the situation by making a euphemistic comment, “I mean, we will no longer fool around like children playing house but get along as an adult couple.”
Mu Mingtang became even angrier after hearing this before she suppressed her anger and asked, “So you always thought that we’re merely playing house?”
Xie Xuanchen felt the slight urge to just give up the case. He shouldn’t have spoken at all. God, why couldn’t he have just sat still, be quiet and enjoy the benefits? Xie Xuanchen was still trying to save himself, “I don’t mean that I am not serious. I take our engagement very seriously from the beginning to the end. There are only two things in my heart that are inviolable— one is the territory of the Ye Dynasty and the second is our marriage.”
Mu Mingtang’s face softened a little as Xie Xuanchen quietly breathed a sigh of relief. At that moment he said softly again, “Since you agree, then that means you will acquiesce to our married life.”
The two of them knew what Xie Xuanchen meant by ‘the married life’.
Mu Mingtang blushed, wanting to scold the person in front of her for a moment. Seriously, did he have any flair at all? The two of them only just made up their minds, so how could he mention such things during a warm and romantic moment?
Mu Mingtang didn’t respond, but Xie Xuanchen knew nothing about his current situation as he was still talking to himself, “If you don’t speak, I will take it that you’re agreeing to it. And since you agreed, let’s talk about a time and date. “
Xie Xuanchen handled matters in a scheduled manner as everything must be refined and up to par. Empty concepts were not acceptable, so it must be clarified.
Mu Mingtang took a deep breath. Taking into account that he was still a sick patient, she tried her best to yell as gently as she could, “Scram!”
The next day, the five Imperial Doctors in Jingzhai received the news that Xie Xuanchen had returned yesterday and had summoned an unknown doctor to diagnose his pulse.
No one knew where this doctor came from, where he was taught the art of medicine, why he caught Xie Xuanchen’s eyes and why he was so trusted by said Prince. They even heard that this doctor had seemed to resemble that of a fortune teller instead of a man of medicine and healing arts.
The five Imperial Doctors each had their own opinions when they learned about this matter. Imperial Doctor Zhang secretly treated Xie Xuanchen before, but he kept to himself about it. Hence, he merely pretended that he didn’t hear his colleagues clearly before turning around and going back to read his medical books. However, the other doctors were not very happy. For Xie Xuanchen to summon some unknown scam of a practitioner to read his pulse instead of requesting their assistance was practically a slap in the face to them.
The Emperor sent five Imperial Doctors to attend to Xie Xuanchen’s condition, but the five of them were aware that they were merely sent to dabble in their jobs, not really needing to treat him seriously. Apparently, it was fine for them to not take their jobs seriously, but if Xie Xuanchen were to seek out someone else for medical assistance, it was ironically considered unacceptable.
