The Substitute Doctor Consort: The Prince Dotes on His Wife

Everyone says that the Fourth Prince's foolish, mad, mute, crippled consort, Qin Mu, was picked up from a mortuary and is merely a stand-in. She's foolish? Someone nods. Yes, foolish enough to make even her enemies gladly work like oxen and horses for her. She's mad and mute? Someone agrees again. That's right. My consort is so frail she can't care for herself, yet with nothing but her silver tongue, she nearly drove everyone in the imperial palace mad, from the Empress Dowager to the eunuchs. As for being crippled, there's no need to mention that... Someone silently feels the needles stuck all over his legs. Yes, my consort is a miracle healer: one needle can cripple a person, and one dose of medicine can render them useless. As for being a stand-in... The Fourth Prince furrows his brow and grits his teeth. “A stand-in? At first, I did treat her as one. Who could have guessed that I would end up being the fool?”
