ASTRP -Chapter 53 Thinking the Prince Can’t Perform

As soon as those words were spoken, Liu Qingqing shot up from her seat as if her sore spot had been struck. She glared at the imperial physician.

“Impossible! Impossible! You’re lying! I am pregnant!”

After shouting at the physician, she turned to Feng Jingge, her voice lowering into a pleading tone.

Her eyes were full of hope.

“Wangye is wrong about me! Please call another doctor to check again, alright? I really am pregnant.”

The imperial physician’s face darkened instantly upon hearing her accuse him of lying. He said furiously, “I originally intended to spare you some dignity, but since you insist I am lying, then there’s no need for that anymore!”

Liu Qingqing’s face turned even paler.

“Miss Liu, listen carefully!”

“You are still a virgin.”

Liu Qingqing was struck as if by a heavy blow—her face instantly went ashen…

Feng Jingge froze: “???”

Still a virgin?

This… Xiao Jinghan really wasn’t lying to her…

The imperial physician stared sharply at Liu Qingqing and snorted coldly.

“Tell me then, Miss Liu—how does a virgin become pregnant?”

After saying that, he turned to Feng Jingge. His stern expression softened instantly, and his tone carried a hint of grievance.

“Wangye, you must stand up for this old man!”

“I have been practicing medicine for over twenty years and have never suffered such humiliation. Please restore my innocence and reputation…”

Feng Jingge: “……”

Liu Qingqing had never seen such a shameless old physician before. He was almost forty, yet acting like a child running to complain.

And the worst part—he was complaining right in front of her!

She was furious inside.

But she had to endure it.

Liu Qingqing dropped to her knees with a thud.

“Wangye, I was wrong. I had pregnancy-like symptoms and mistakenly thought I was pregnant.”

“Please punish me.”

Feng Jingge looked at her coldly.

“If there is a next time, you will be expelled from the Prince’s residence!”

With that, she flicked her sleeve and strode out.

Liu Qingqing trembled and bit her lip.

“I obey…”

The physician froze for a moment, then snapped back to reality, grabbed his medicine box, and hurried after Feng Jingge.

“Wangye! Wangye! You haven’t given me justice yet!”

After Xiao Jinghan and the physician left, Fu Ping and another maid waiting outside rushed into the room.

Seeing Liu Qingqing kneeling on the floor, they hurried to help her up.

Liu Qingqing let them lift her, but she stared fiercely in the direction the physician had left.

“That damn old man!!”

Fu Ping looked worried.

“Madam…”

But Liu Qingqing ignored her completely, pushing her away.

“Prepare my makeup.”

Fu Ping frowned, confused. Why would she want to dress up at a time like this?

Was she planning to leave the residence?

Liu Qingqing’s next words confirmed her suspicion.

“I’m leaving the residence!”

“That old man must be working with the Wangye. First he said I’m not pregnant, then he’ll find a chance to abort my child!”

Fu Ping felt something was seriously wrong with her mistress, and tried to reason with her.

“Madam—”

But she was interrupted sharply.

“What madam! Hurry up and do my makeup!”

“Yes…”

Meanwhile, Feng Jingge walked ahead at a steady, unhurried pace.

The imperial physician quickly caught up, circling in front of her while walking backwards to speak with her.

He glanced around cautiously. After confirming no one else was nearby except “Xiao Jinghan” and himself, he lowered his voice.

“Hey, Jinghan boy… are you perhaps… not working properly?”

Feng Jingge: “……”

Good grief.

This old physician really dared to say anything!

If Xiao Jinghan heard this, he would probably kick him straight into a pond.

The physician paused slightly, then continued earnestly.

“That Miss Liu has been in the residence for at least three years, right? And she’s still a virgin. Unless…”

Feng Jingge suddenly stopped walking, her face darkening.

“Shut up!”

But the physician ignored her completely and kept going.

“Jinghan boy, don’t be shy! At your age, it’s not uncommon for men to have… difficulties.”

“Just tell me your symptoms. I’ll prescribe you something. After you take it, it’ll work wonders—guaranteed improvement!”

Feng Jingge: “……”

She couldn’t even respond.

Because she wasn’t Xiao Jinghan.

And she had no idea whether Xiao Jinghan could “perform” or not…

But judging from the situation…

The probability that he couldn’t seemed pretty high…

With a dark expression, she threatened him.

“Do you see that pond over there?”

The physician turned and looked.

“Yes, what about it?”

Feng Jingge looked down at him coldly.

“Do you believe I’ll throw you into it?”

The physician instantly froze.

He knew Xiao Jinghan’s temperament—he always meant what he said.

If he didn’t leave now, he might really end up swimming with fish.

He laughed awkwardly.

“It’s not the right season for a bath… maybe in summer.”

“I’ll take my leave first.”

With that, he grabbed his medicine box and ran.

Feng Jingge clicked her tongue.

Now she just needed to report everything to Xiao Jinghan in his study, and then she could finally go back and sleep.

But reality rarely cooperates.

As soon as she stepped into the study, she immediately sensed something was wrong.

Her sharp instincts picked up a faint scent in the air—

Blood.

Very faint, but unmistakable.

A cold voice rang out.

“You’re back?”

Feng Jingge looked up.

Xiao Jinghan sat there holding a book, expression cold, eyes still on the pages and not on her.

“Mm.”

She responded briefly and scanned the room.

Su Xiu was not there.

She couldn’t help thinking—

Had Xiao Jinghan beaten Su Xiu up in Liu Qingqing’s courtyard earlier?

And the blood smell… was it Su Xiu’s?

Xiao Jinghan seemed to read her thoughts.

“Su Xiu is sparring with Ning An.”

Feng Jingge: “……”

More like an excuse to beat him up.

What goes around, comes around.

She then relayed everything that happened in Liu Qingqing’s courtyard.

After listening, Xiao Jinghan only replied calmly:

“Got it.”

That was it.

Nothing more.

Exhausted and sleepy, Feng Jingge didn’t stay any longer. She dragged her tired body back to her room and collapsed onto the bed.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, someone knocked on the door…

She ignored it, pretending no one was inside.

Maybe the person would leave.

But then Qing Shan’s voice rang out.

“Wangye, stop pretending. I saw you come back with my own two eyes.”
