The system extends my life, and all my husbands want me to be the empress

Doctor Qi from Huichuntang in Kyoto City has good medical skills and a good reputation. People come to the hall from time to time to see a doctor and get medicine.

Li Lingyu didn't dare to ask the imperial physician for help, so he had to walk in here quietly. As soon as he stepped into Huichun Hall, he smelled a variety of herbal scents of varying strengths.

He was wearing ordinary plain clothes, trying not to attract attention, and stood in front of Dr. Qi with a nervous and somewhat uneasy look.

Doctor Qi was wearing a gray robe and was sitting behind the desk writing a prescription. He looked kind and focused.

He noticed the person in front of him, and when he saw Li Lingyu walking in, he saw that the person was trembling slightly all over, as if he had something to hide.

Doctor Qi raised the corner of his mouth slightly and asked gently:

"Sir, are you here to get medicine or see a doctor?"

Li Lingyu looked a little ugly. He just lowered his head slightly, avoiding Doctor Qi's gaze, and said softly:

"Excuse me, doctor, I need your help."

Li Lingyu has a tall stature, outstanding appearance and a pleasant voice. Although he is wearing ordinary clothes, he can still attract the attention of other people in the hall and they all look at him in an instant.

His temperament seemed noble, not like that of an ordinary citizen.

Doctor Qi looked at Li Lingyu, his eyes showing concern: "Sir, where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Li Lingyu was silent for a moment, and his voice was low: "On the body."

Everyone felt strange, and suddenly they thought, such a handsome man, who was also timid and shaking slightly, might have come from "Yi Qinglou".

Doctor Qi saw his embarrassment and also suspected that he was a male prostitute, so he called out, "Sir, please follow me into the inner room."

Afterwards, Doctor Qi took Li Lingyu into an inner room.

Li Lingyu stood there, his hands trembling slightly, and slowly undressed.

As his clothes slipped off, his miserable condition gradually revealed to Doctor Qi.

Doctor Qi's originally calm expression was instantly replaced by shock.

Those criss-crossing whip marks, deep red in color, were all new wounds, and some were old wounds, very dark in color, telling of the pain he had suffered in the past.

The relatively fresh bite marks were even more shocking, with the deep tooth marks clearly visible, even though scabs had formed after the bites.

Doctor Qi widened his eyes and couldn't help but gasp. His eyes were full of pity and astonishment, as if he couldn't believe what kind of ordeal this handsome young man in front of him had experienced.

Then, Doctor Qi said steadily, "Lie down, I'll apply the medicine first."

Li Ling nodded and lay down, with deep gratitude flashing in her eyes, and said softly: "Thank you, doctor."

While applying the medicine, Doctor Qi casually said:

"I also often treat the young masters of Yiqinglou."

After hearing this, Li Lingyu tensed up and lowered his head, not daring to speak.

Doctor Qi continued, “But I’ve never seen a body with so many marks.

Sir, you must have served many people in one night, so you should be careful not to get sick again."

Every word the doctor said hit Li Lingyu's heart hard. His face turned pale in an instant and he tried hard to hold back the tears of grievance.

"I..." He opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but suddenly he felt he didn't know where to start.

Yes indeed,

This kind of thing.

It's totally unspeakable.

The Taoist outside was originally curious about Li Lingyu. He was secretly listening to these things outside the house and immediately cast a contemptuous look towards the room.

After Li Lingyu finished applying the medicine, he came out and heard people around him talking, their words full of disgust and contempt.

"Come out, come out."

"Tsk tsk, looking at his handsome appearance, he must be very good in Yiqinglou."

"Of course, it's normal to have several people play with you in one night, right?"

Li Lingyu listened to all this and was initially filled with anger, but suddenly, he felt that they were right, and he indeed felt that he was already very dirty.

The shame that penetrated deep into his bones made it impossible for him to respond or refute what Qi said.

He hurriedly took a few packets of medicine and paid the money, not daring to look up, for fear of seeing other people's strange looks.

As soon as he went out, suddenly, there was a dull "bang" sound, and Li Lingyu hit a hard object, and the medicinal herbs fell to the ground.

Doctor Qi and everyone else rushed out to see that what Li Lingyu had hit was a gorgeous carriage with an exquisitely carved body and luxurious decorations.

The driver immediately pulled the reins and said hurriedly, "Master Su, we hit someone."

The curtain of the carriage moved, and Prime Minister Su Mingde walked out.

After he saw the man who was knocked to the ground, there was a hint of surprise and confusion in his eyes. He felt that this man was very familiar. He walked closer, wanting to see the embarrassed young man in front of him more clearly.

Li Lingyu raised his eyes and met Su Mingde's gaze. He was immediately panicked and quickly lowered his head. He felt so ashamed that he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Then he bit his lip, his body trembling slightly: "Prime Minister Su, can you give me a ride?"

Su Mingde looked at Li Lingyu, a surge of pity welled up in his heart, and he stretched out his hand to him: "Get up first, I'll take you back home."

Li Lingyu raised his head, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes, he reached out and held Su Mingde's hand: "Thank you, Prime Minister."

At this time, someone hurriedly reminded Su Mingde: "Sir, be careful, this man is sick."

Su Mingde frowned, pulled Li Lingyu up, and said to everyone: "What nonsense are you talking about?! He is..."

Li Lingyu interrupted quickly: "Don't say it! Don't say it!"

Su Mingde's words were stopped by Li Lingyu's pleading eyes.

Su Mingde looked at him in great surprise.

Li Lingyu avoided his gaze and whispered, "Master Su, please don't say it."

Su Mingde looked at Li Lingyu's pitiful appearance, his heart softened, and he nodded: "Get in the carriage."

Li Lingyu picked up the medicine bag on the ground and immediately got on the carriage.

The carriage moved forward slowly and there was silence inside.

Li Lingyu didn't know what to say. He just sat there holding a few packets of medicine, staring blankly.

It was Su Mingde who broke the silence by looking at his medicine bag and said, "Why don't you ask the imperial physician to come here to see you if you are sick?"

Li Lingyu pursed her lips and did not answer. To ease the embarrassment, she said, "I'm sorry to have delayed the Prime Minister's work."

Su Mingde stroked his beard and smiled, "Nothing serious. I just need to go and buy some dowry for Su Yexie."

Li Lingyu asked curiously, "Su Ye is getting married? He is your only son."

After saying this, Li Lingyu had a guess in his mind that there might not be many people in Kyoto who could marry Su Ye.

He tightened his grip around the medicine bag and lowered his head again: "May I ask the Prime Minister to tell me who Su Ye will marry?"

Su Mingde nodded: "He is going to marry Princess An Ning."

Hearing the words "Princess An Ning", Li Lingyu's heart was filled with bitterness and loneliness.

Su Mingde noticed his uncomfortable expression and didn't know what was wrong with him, so he wanted to say something comforting:

"In the past, when Lord Li was still in the cabinet, he often praised you for being well-behaved, sensible, and filial. You can be considered a noble son.

Unlike my Su Ye, who is such a jerk and always disobeys me."

Li Lingyu lowered her eyes and said nothing. After hearing what he said, she felt even more confused. Yes, hasn't he been like this all along?

Well-behaved, sensible and filial.

Seeing that he was still unhappy, Su Mingde stopped talking.

The carriage moved forward slowly.

Finally, he sent Li Lingyu to the outside of the Seventh Princess's Mansion and left.

……

It was a deep night, and the cold moonlight gently covered Princess An Ning's Mansion like a silver gauze.

Li Yong, the prince's confidant, moved forward cautiously, with nervousness and trepidation at every step. With the cooperation of Wu Wenyun, he quickly found Zheng San's room.

The moment I gently pushed open the door, moonlight poured into the room like water, and the person on the bed seemed to be immersed in a peaceful dream.

Li Yong clenched the dagger in his hand, with a fierce look in his eyes, and slowly walked towards the bed.

However, just as he raised the knife, the person on the bed suddenly jumped up like a cheetah.

Li Yong was shocked. He never thought that Zheng San had such martial arts skills.

The man rolled over, easily avoiding the fatal blow, and kicked Li Yong at the same time.

Li Yong quickly stepped back, trying to keep his body steady.

In an instant, the man kicked the dagger in Li Yong's hand away again.

"Bang!" The crisp collision sound broke the silence of the night.

Li Yong was frightened!

The two men fought from inside the house to outside, and the fierce fighting sound broke the tranquility of the princess's mansion.

Wu Wenyun was standing aside, a look of fear spreading across his face. He never expected things to develop to this point.

Li Yong couldn't even kill Zheng San?!

At this time, Lin Wanwan walked out of the hall, the cold moonlight shone on her, and the group of guards following behind her made her look even more majestic, as if they had seen through everything.

Looking at the two people fighting, she ordered sternly: "Catch Ye Lan alive!"

Her voice was clear and decisive, leaving no room for doubt.

"Yes!"

Only then did Wu Wenyun see clearly that the person fighting with Li Yong was not Zheng San, but Ye Lan.

When Ye Lan received the order, the guards quickly surrounded him.

Ye Lan rushed towards Li Yong like a black shadow. The speed was so fast that Li Yong was amazed and stunned for a second.

Later, Li Yong saw that the situation was not good and wanted to escape, but it was too late and he was successfully caught by Ye Lan.

Li Yong was escorted by the guards, his face full of reluctance and fear.

Lin Wanwan looked at Li Yong, and her cold voice echoed in the night sky, making people shudder:

"How dare you commit a crime in the Princess's Mansion? You are so brave!"

Li Yong lowered his head and dared not speak.

A group of handsome men heard the noise and rushed over, only to see Lin Wanwan looking coldly at Wu Wenyun.

Wu Wenyun's face turned pale, and he knelt in front of Lin Wanwan tremblingly: "Princess, spare my life, I..."

Lin Wanwan snorted coldly: "You betrayed the Princess's Mansion and colluded with outsiders. What crime should you be punished for?"

Lin Wanwan's words were as sharp as an ice blade, leaving Wu Wenyun speechless and he could only kowtow and beg for mercy.

"Princess, please spare your life! Princess, please spare your life!"

Lin Wanwan just said, "Come here. Arrest him and tie him up. Lock him up in the woodshed with the assassin."

The guards all took action and started to operate.

Shan Yingcheng stood aside, staring at Lin Wanwan, and saw that the princess had actually caught an assassin like this.

He had a new understanding of her. He looked at Lin Wanwan's cold and resolute figure, with a hint of admiration and expectation in his eyes: the princess seemed to have some skills.

In the courtyard, Gu Jiazhuo and Song Tingchu were terrified and trembling.

Their eyes moved back and forth between Lin Wanwan, Li Yong and Wu Wenyun, and they were filled with uneasiness. Looking at Wu Wenyun begging for mercy, they pursed their lips at the same time, not knowing what to say.

Lin Wanwan said: "Ye Lan, take good care of Zheng San. We will take him to see Ouyang Qingyu tomorrow."

Ye Lan bowed: "Yes."

Lin Wanwan's eyes fell on Shan Yingcheng who was standing beside her. She slowly walked forward and looked at him: "You can stay at the mansion and take good care of Li Yong, right?"

Upon hearing this, Shan Yingcheng lowered his eyes and said, "Yes."

……

On the second day,

Li Lingyu received the message sent by Ouyang Qingyu, inviting him to the residence of the Minister of Justice, and then hurriedly found the fifth princess Lin Meihua.

This time, Lin Meihua was unusually well-behaved. She gladly followed Li Lingyu's advice, disguised herself as a servant, and followed Li Lingyu. She kept her head down all the way and stepped into Ouyang Qingyu's mansion with great anticipation.

She thought her chance had finally come, and she couldn't help but look forward to it secretly: today, she would definitely make sure Ouyang Qingyu got the hang of this matter.

……

Ouyang Qingyu was in his study, looking at the case files. When the servant informed him that Li Lingyu was coming, he naturally stood up and greeted her politely.

Li Lingyu hesitated a little, with a guilty look on his face, and stepped into the study with heavy steps.

"Ouyang...Minister." He lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Ouyang Qingyu's eyes. His brows were tightly furrowed, as if an invisible mountain was pressing on his heart.

Ouyang Qingyu still smiled and said, "Sit down and talk."

Li Lingyu sat down slowly, his body trembling slightly, and his eyes began to wander: "Minister Ouyang asked me to come here, what's the matter?"

As soon as Li Lingyu sat down, Ouyang Qingyu's eyes seemed to casually sweep over Lin Meihua, who was dressed as a servant, but he deliberately remained silent, as if he did not recognize her.

Then, he slowly said, "I have some free time today, so I want to talk to you about prison. Your father Li Da is not having a good time. The jailers beat and scold him every day. His condition is horrible."

Ouyang Qingyu's voice was calm, but it carried a chilling power that impacted Li Lingyu's heart little by little.

"Yeah." Li Lingyu's face became more and more ugly, and his lips trembled slightly.

Ouyang Qingyu's eyes darkened: "From the look of your father, I'm afraid he won't last a few days."

Hearing this, Li Lingyu felt extremely cold in his heart. He felt that the last bit of struggle in his heart was easily swallowed up by these few words.
