novelHelp Me with Another One

Qin Mian did not ask further. Princess Yan Qing was no longer a threat to him.
"Oh right, Tia, there is one thing that I have been unable to make a decision on." Qin Mian recalled an important matter.
Lei Tia looked at him in question, not stopping him from continuing to shave the scales off the blade in his hand. There were some fresh live fish that the servants had bought in the kitchen, but this fish was in the space, so it was hard to tell the difference, so he had to do it himself.
"Ruiqi and Ruilin's cultivation speed has increased recently, and they are not far from advancing. I wonder if I should tell them about the space? It was easier for them to advance in space. But I'm worried they might slip up." Qin Mian really hesitated for a long time. Right now, the entire family was within the sphere of influence of the Emperor Xiao Hui. Just the slightest carelessness could lead to the leakage of the secret of space and bring about a series of troubles. As for placing restrictions on his son, he and Lei Tia were not willing to place restrictions on him.
Lei Tia thought for a moment and came up with an idea, "Wait until I find some time to refine a spirit treasure, and compress the spirit energy in the space into the spirit treasure, and let them wear it on their bodies."
Qin Mian smacked his forehead, "I even had the thought of personally sending them some spiritual energy, why didn't I think of this method?"
It was rare for Lei Tia to tease his own wife, "I can't do it."
"Arrogant!" Qin Mian rolled his eyes at him, his ears burning. In fact, he realised that during the time that Lei Tia was gone, his brain had not worked at all. Normally, when he had something to do, he would not think about it.
Lei Tia understood in his heart, and did not argue with him. After washing the processed fish, he stood up and pecked him on the cheek when he passed by behind him. Lei Tia placed the fish on a plate, walked to the stove, and sat down.
Although he didn't say anything, Qin Mian understood that Yun Che had seen through his thoughts. He was a little embarrassed, a little pleased with himself, this man that was almost perfect for him was his! He bent down, pinched the man's chin, met his gaze defiantly, kissed him hard on his thin lips, and then straightened up, humming a tune, and stirred eggs with chopsticks.
Lei Tia's heart felt like it was soaking in a hot spring.
"..."
When Chen Mufeng reappeared in the National Duke's Mansion, just as Qin Mian was about to tease him, she noticed that his expression wasn't right.
"What is it? "You haven't settled it yet?" He asked as he motioned for the servants to leave.
Chen Mufeng found it difficult to say anything.
The matters of the Prince Ming Residence made people sigh. Chen Mufeng's royal father had a principal concubine, two concubines, and one concubine. The main wife gave birth to one son and one daughter after the other, the eldest son being Chen Mufeng. The second son was also born with intelligence, unfortunately, he was killed by his concubine when he was five years old. The first wife was so heartbroken that she lost her body and never came out again. The concubine was naturally dead. The concubines on both sides also coincidentally did not have sons. Big Sans had two daughters, the Second Sisters had three daughters, and the two girls died young from illness. Therefore, Chen Mufeng was the only son of the Prince Ming. The reason why Prince Ming insisted on letting Chen Mufeng have a son was related to him losing a son once. No matter if it was when he thought of the incense, or the mental entrustment, or whatever, it was understandable for him to want a grandson. Chen Mufeng understood this point and was thus in an even more difficult situation.
When he returned home that day, Chen Mufeng asked Prince Ming tactfully if he could give him a younger brother. He did not expect the Prince Ming to tell him that when he first found out about the relationship between Chen Mufeng and Zhangsun Hee, he wanted to give birth to his son as soon as possible. During that time, he had been rather diligent in matters of husband and wife, but neither the main imperial concubine nor the two younger secondary concubines had gotten pregnant again. He sensed that something wasn't right, and only after seeing the imperial physician did he find out that he too had suffered a physical loss.
Prince Ming could tell that Zhangsun Hee treated his son well, and it was not because he did not care about his son's happiness, but because he really had no other choice, he insisted on Chen Mufeng having a son.
When Chen Mufeng found out the whole story, he felt even more guilty towards his father. However, he couldn't go against his will with Zhangsun Hee to have children with a woman, so he had no choice but to seek Qin Mian for help.
"The imperial physician said that your father doesn't have a child, so it's quite possible?" Qin Mian picked the main point.
"Listening to the meaning behind Royal Father's words, it is indeed true." Chen Mufeng looked at him eagerly, "Your medical skills are also top-notch, is there any way to cure my royal father? Or is there any way I can have a baby without having any contact with a woman? "
The corner of Qin Mian's mouth twitched, but he still answered, "Whether or not I can treat your royal father, I will need to personally feel your pulse before I can make a diagnosis. As for whether or not there is a way for you to give birth to a child without making contact with a woman?? I am not a god." The union of sperm and eggs is a complicated science, and it is not clear to the ancients.
Chen Mufeng was speechless for a moment. Personally checking his pulse meant that his royal father's secret would be exposed to Qin Mian, so his father would definitely feel extremely awkward. If he wronged his father so much for his sake, it would be a great injustice to him. He couldn't be so selfish.
Qin Mian completely understood his thoughts. Forget about an ancient person, even if a modern person were to be found out, they would be extremely embarrassed.
But he really wanted to help Chen Mufeng. Firstly, Chen Mufeng was his friend. Back then, after the Zhaoyang County sold the dishes for the unseasonable vegetables, even though more than half of it was for business benefits, if it wasn't for Chen Mufeng and Mu Chen protecting them, it was impossible for his family to live a peaceful life. Secondly, because he and Lei Tia were so fortunate, yet Chen Mufeng and Zhangsun Hee were so hardworking, it really made him sympathize very.
But Zhangsun Hee could not stay out of it. He had to get more benefits for his friends.
"I understand your concerns. I can think of a way to help your father check his pulse without him knowing."
"Under the circumstances that my royal father doesn't know of this? Do you intend to knock him out? " Chen Mufeng mocked himself.
Qin Mian gave a rotten idea, "You can let Zhangsun Hee knock him out."
Chen Mufeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at him. Suddenly, he realized that his words seemed to have a deeper meaning, and understood. A sly and relaxed smile appeared in his eyes.
After saying that, he hurriedly took his leave.
Not even two hours had passed when Chen Mufeng and Zhangsun Hee appeared at the same time in the National Duke's Mansion.
In terms of rank, Qin Mian held a higher position than Zhangsun Hee. Zhangsun Hee greeted Qin Mian with a bow, "Greetings, Madam National Duke."
"There is no need for the young duke to be so courteous." Sit down, please." Qin Mian drank his tea slowly and didn't take the initiative to ask him the purpose of his visit.
Chen Mufeng seemed to have turned into a gourd as he ate the fruits on the plate with his legs crossed.
Zhangsun Hee said: "Thank you Madam National Duke. I wonder if the National Duke's madam can help us make a trip to Huifeng Restaurant? This humble one will definitely repay you after this matter is completed."
Qin Mian smiled slightly, "There's no need to thank me so much. The Young Marquis owes me a favor."
Zhangsun Hee looked at him deeply, and said without hesitation, "Alright!"
After Qin Mian gave his instructions to the Steward Fu, he went to the second floor of Huifeng Restaurant with Chen Mufeng and Zhangsun Hee. Prince Ming laid on the table, motionless, as if he had fallen asleep.
Qin Mian reminded, "Your highness couldn't have been drugged, right? The drug will affect the pulse."
Chen Mufeng laughed out loud.
Zhangsun Hee looked at him, his expression revealing a faint sense of helplessness and indulgence, and said a little gloomily: "I was the one who knocked him out."
Qin Mian secretly laughed, and did not say anymore, and went up to pick up Prince Ming's wrist.
Chen Mufeng and Zhangsun Hee were so nervous that they had to hold their breath.
The moment Qin Mian released his hand, a desperate look appeared on his face, "How is it?"
Qin Mian cupped his hands at the two of them, "Congratulations."It's not a big problem."
"Truly??" Chen Mufeng almost cried out in alarm, but he quickly shut his mouth and cautiously looked at Prince Ming.
The pitiful Prince Ming was still unconscious.
Qin Mian said in a low voice: "Let's talk outside."
Zhangsun Hee escorted them to the door. He still had to stay in the private box to receive the anger of the Prince Ming.
After exiting the restaurant, Chen Mufeng walked to the corner and asked: "Will my royal father's body still be saved?"
Qin Mian nodded, "Trust me. When I get back, I'll make the medicine myself, one pill a day, and after a month, I'll make sure he can have as many children as he wants in ten years."Also, your father's body is a bit weak on the outside, but I'll prescribe it for you."
Chen Mufeng let out a long breath, as if he had put down a heavy burden.
"It would be strange if you said that." Qin Mian patted his shoulder.
The two of them went to a nearby shop to borrow brush, ink and paper. Qin Mian opened up a prescription for Chen Mufeng, and asked him to go to National Duke's Mansion the next afternoon to get the medicine.
Chen Mufeng arrived as promised and brought two pots of Shy Grass with him. He said that these flowers were extremely interesting and would immediately close upon touching them, giving them to Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin to play with. The Shy Grass was actually the Mimosa Grass, a gift sent by the Turow Country envoy. In the Grand Xia Country, it was a rare item, a pot worth at least a hundred gold. He naturally did not know that Qin Mian had so much Mimosa in his space. However, Qin Mian was still a man after all, and wasn't that meticulous. He never thought that he would be able to find two stalks of grass for his sons to play with. These two pots of grass, Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin would definitely like it. Overall, the gift given was rather suitable.
At the same time, Chen Mufeng also sent over a thousand silver notes, which was the medical fee given by Zhangsun Hee. Chen Mufeng insisted that Qin Mian accept it, and Qin Mian accepted it. All the herbs in his space were of high quality, so it was not wrong for Zhangsun Hee to spend a thousand silver.
He gave the completed pill to Chen Mufeng, one bottle for thirty pills, and it would suffice as long as he consumed it for a full month.
After the serious matters were finished, Chen Mufeng was in a good mood to talk about what happened in the tavern later.
It was impossible for the Prince Ming to not know that he was beaten up, and Zhangsun Hee took the initiative to admit that he got the wrong person. The Prince Ming did not like him to begin with, so he did not have any good impression of him. Zhangsun Hee accepted it without a word. The Prince Ming felt bored and flicked his sleeves, walking away.
Qin Mian laughed, "You're still happy after getting beaten up like this?"
Chen Mufeng said with a smile on his face, "Anyway, his skin is thick." After pestering Zhangsun Hee for so many years, he had suffered a lot because he wanted to let Zhangsun Hee know that he had a backer.
