The Rising Phoenix

Noble Consort Furen, Qian Yunyu got a letter from the fourth prince. She loved this child. So, as a loving mother, she went to see the emperor asking for his help. She was sure that with the emperor's intervention, the fourth prince would be fine.

The emperor loved his wife, so he loved the sons that she bore for him. The emperor asked the Pharmacist Association to send a skilful pharmacist to check on the fourth prince. He even spent a lot of gold in order to get his son treated.

So, a pharmacist from the Pharmacist Association came to check on the fourth prince. The fourth prince showed him what was going on down there. The pharmacist still could not figure it out.

The fourth prince frowned, seeing that the pharmacist seemed not to know what had happened to him. The pharmacist excused himself saying that he needed to get someone else there. The one who is much more skilful.

So, another pharmacist came over. Again, the same happened. They did not know what had happened. They returned to the Pharmacist Association and went to see Lei Yongrui, the Master of the Pharmacist Association. They explained what they had seen to Lei Yongrui.

Lei Yongrui's eyes flickered. He seemed to remember someone. Because of that, Lei Yongrui went to the fourth prince's mansion. The fourth prince was surprised by Lei Yongrui's presence.

Lei Yongrui was the Master of the Pharmaceutical Association here. His position was pretty high. The fourth prince did not dare to offend him. So, the fourth prince invited him in politely.

Lei Yongrui asked the fourth prince to show his condition. The fourth prince wanted to get it cured. So, he did not care anymore and showed it to Lei Yongrui.

Lei Yongrui glanced once and nodded. After that, he checked the fourth prince's pulse. Then, he asked about the fourth prince's days over the past few days. The fourth prince answered it.

Lei Yongrui nodded in understanding. He sighed. His expression became more and more grim. The fourth prince noticed it and immediately asked about it.

"Your highness, I think you have been poisoned." Lei Yongrui delivered the news.

"What?" The fourth prince was shocked. "No way. I am perfectly fine."

"Indeed. Your body is indeed perfectly fine. But this poison specifically targets the manhood. That is why you can not perform on the bed." Lei Yongrui explained.

"How... Why?" The fourth prince did not know what to think.

"This poison is created by Red Lili. She is a poison master. She is quite famous." Lei Yongrui stated.

"If she is quite famous, how can she sneak into my mansion?" The fourth prince asked.

"Red Lili, she is a master of disguise. She must disguise herself to be your maid or something like that." Lei Yongrui said.

"I don't know about that anymore. Tell me, is there an antidote for this kind of poison?" That was what the fourth prince wanted to know right now.

Lei Yongrui sighed and slowly shook his head. The fourth prince became devastated.

"Impossible. It should have a cure. Every poison has its cure." The fourth prince shouted.

Lei Yongrui sighed. Maybe this poison has its cure but he did not have it. To create a cure for such a powerful poison, someone would need to pour time and energy into the research.

"Probably. But we don't have it right now. Oh... I forgot to ask you something. How many days have passed since you noticed it?" Lei Yongrui asked.

"Well, it is the second day." The fourth prince stated.

"I heard about this poison before. If you still don't get the cure on the seventh day, you can not be a man anymore." Lei Yongrui explained.

"What? Is it really true?" The fourth prince jumped from his seat.

"It is what I heard before." Lei Yongrui nodded. "I will report it to His Majesty. So, I am going to leave. "

The fourth prince did not reply to Lei Yongrui. He left the room. He knew it would be very devastating to hear something like that. He could see that the fourth prince was losing his ability as a man.

So, Lei Yongrui entered the palace asking to meet with the emperor directly. The emperor was surprised. He indeed called someone from the Pharmacist's Association. He never thought Lei Yongrui would be the one to go.

"What happens to my son, Sir Lei?" The emperor asked.

Lei Yongrui sighed. "Your son had been poisoned with a poison that is famous for destroying a man's manhood."

"What?" The emperor was shocked.

"The poison was created by a woman with the name Red Lili. She is a poison master. Usually, the poison that she concocted has no cure. His Highness the Fourth Prince could not be treated." Lei Yongrui explained.

"WHAT!!!" A scream echoed.

They saw a beautiful woman being held by her maidservants. It was Noble Consort Furen, Qian Yunyu. She almost fainted when she heard that his son could not be treated.

Noble Consort Furen, Qian Yunyu, walked approaching the emperor with her maidservants' support. The emperor helped his Consort.

"Sir Lei, tell me exactly what happened to my son?" Noble Consort Furen, Qian Yunyu, asked.

"He has been poisoned by a poison that could turn a man's manhood useless. The worst part is that there is no cure for the poison. The good part is he will not die." Lei Yongrui explained.
