The Third Prince, Shen Yurong, was born sickly. Coughing every other step and coughing up blood every third step was an everyday occurrence. Yet this sickly prince was anything but tame. After begging and pleading with his father, he secured the position of Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. But on his very first day, before he could even set foot inside the court, he coughed up blood and fainted.
His father had no choice but to send an imperial decree out of the capital, summoning the disciple of the reclusive physician Le Xin, who was said to be able to bring the dead back to life and restore flesh and blood: Mei Yanju.
Shen Yurong: “Wow! What a beauty!”
Describe Shen Yurong in two words.
Mei Yanju: “Poisonous.”
Shen Yurong: “Hehe, so your love for me has seeped into my bones like poison, with no cure?”
Mei Yanju: “I mean, the cup you just drank from was the one I used to rinse my acupuncture needles. It's poisonous.”
Shen Yurong: “...”
Leave Shen Yurong a few words before he dies.
Mei Yanju: “Shen Yurong, please stay alive for a few more years. I've hated you all my life. I don't want to see you again on the road to the underworld.”
Shen Yurong: “Hehe, okay. I'll do whatever you say, Juju.”
