Chapter 541: Chapter 543: Becoming a Cripple

Pei Jingyi suddenly seized the Imperial Physician’s hand, his voice urgent, "Help... help me!"

The Imperial Physician shook his head, sighing, "Fourth Prince, your injuries are truly severe, and I really am out of options."

"No, that won’t do, I must ascend the throne and become Emperor, I will not allow such a thing to happen." Pei Jingyi’s voice was hoarse and grating.

The Imperial Physician looked at his frenzied state, hesitated for a moment, and then still advised, "Fourth Prince, although I am well-versed in pharmacology, where in this world is there a miracle cure that can mend severed continuity? If such a thing truly existed, it would’ve made its way to the market long ago and become a rare commodity."

"No! This is impossible, I don’t believe it! I am still young, my whole life can’t be ruined because of this."

The Imperial Physician shook his head and exhaled deeply, "I have done all that I can, the rest is up to fate."

"No..." Pei Jingyi still refused to accept this reality.

Pei Chengye, upon hearing this news, was overjoyed, holding a box in his hand, he walked step by step into the firewood room.

He took out a key, unlocked the lock, and pushed open the door to enter.

The glaring light made Jiang Zhou somewhat uncomfortable. She raised her hand to shield her eyes from the sunshine and squinted at the person walking in.

At this moment, she was covered in wounds, with marks of whipping all over her, her clothes were torn apart, leaving her shivering from the cold.

Pei Chengye squatted down, took her arm, and said with satisfaction, "Do you know what’s inside this box?"

Jiang Zhou shook her head; she had been beaten into fear, dreading the opening of that room door more than anything each day.

"This is a great gift I’ve prepared especially for you," he said.

A wave of fear and unease surged in Jiang Zhou’s heart. She pursed her lips tightly and quivered, "What do you want to do?"

"Hah... What can I possibly do to you?" Pei Chengye said with a smile.

Jiang Zhou looked at him uncomprehendingly. This demon, he was simply inhumane.

Pei Chengye stood up, tossed the wooden box next to her, and said coldly, "Open it."

Jiang Zhou stared at the wooden box but made no move; she did not know what it contained, but it was certainly nothing good.

"The Prince’s patience is limited, do not force me to lay hands on you."

Pei Chengye’s severe gaze scared Jiang Zhou as she shakily reached out her hand and slowly opened the box.

Upon seeing what was inside, she immediately covered her mouth and retched beside it.

"Are you familiar with this thing?" he asked.

Jiang Zhou pushed the box away with one hand; she never could have imagined that the box contained a man’s genitals.

"You’re simply not human!"

Pei Chengye, like a madman, rushed over to pinch her cheek, speaking darkly, "If it weren’t for you and Pei Jingyi, how could I have come to this point?"

"I am about to be named the Crown Prince, just one step away, and I could ascend the throne as Emperor. It’s you, both of you joined hands to destroy everything of mine!"

Having said that, he squeezed her throat forcefully, as if he wanted to strangle her alive.

"Cough cough... let, let me go..." Jiang Zhou struggled desperately, kicking her legs but to no avail.

After what felt like an eternity, just when Jiang Zhou thought she was going to die, Pei Chengye released his hand.

Jiang Zhou collapsed to the ground, coughing violently, her throat burning with pain.

Pei Chengye bent down to pick up the box, his tone cold as he chuckled, "This is just the beginning."

With those words, he turned and left, leaving behind the panicked Jiang Zhou.

She felt ice-cold all over, two tears slid from the corners of her eyes, and she vowed secretly in her heart, if given the chance, she would kill Pei Chengye.

Xia Zhaoshun, after learning about the Fourth Prince’s situation, specifically stopped the Imperial Physician outside the mansion.

"Does Master Xia have business with me?"

"I want to ask about the Fourth Prince’s condition, he..."

The Imperial Physician immediately understood, sighed, and said, "The Fourth Prince is now no different than a eunuch in the palace."

"Is there really no chance for treatment?"

"If the thing were still there, perhaps there would be a glimmer of hope, but now, there’s no chance at all." The Imperial Physician spoke with conviction.

Hearing this, Xia Zhaoshun’s face was filled with worry and he remained silent for a long while before bowing to the Imperial Physician, "Thank you very much, Imperial Physician."

"Master Xia is too courteous, this was my duty, I will take my leave now." _{f|re(e)web.n\ovel. (c)o.m}

"Take care."

As he watched the Imperial Physician walk away, Xia Zhaoshun turned and walked toward the Fourth Prince’s Mansion.

Seeing Xia Zhaoshun, Pei Jingyi grasped at him like a drowning man clutches at a straw, pulling at his sleeve, "Help me, help me!"

Xia Zhaoshun, looking down at him, said, "Help you? How am I supposed to help you? In your current state, you have the nerve to ask for my help?"

"Please help me, I don’t want to be a eunuch, I am the dignified Fourth Prince, if I become a eunuch, then all my prospects are gone."

Pei Jingyi clutched at Xia Zhaoshun’s hand as he stood up, his eyes no longer holding the pride of the past.

Xia Zhaoshun brushed off his hand and said firmly, "You are already finished."

Having said that, he turned to leave.

Pei Jingyi tried to grab him but stumbled, falling toward the floor beneath the bed.

Ignoring the pain, he crawled over and clung to Xia Zhaoshun’s legs pleading, "Master Xia, please, save me, I beg you to save me!"

Xia Zhaoshun looked at him with disgust, "What do you think I can do to save you?"

Pei Jingyi was stunned, staring at Xia Zhaoshun at a loss for words.

Seeing his state, Xia Zhaoshun spoke with scorn, "I have long told you to be careful. It’s your own fault for not listening, so who are you to blame?"

"I was wrong, please help me again, I’m begging you to help me." Pei Jingyi kept crying out.
