Chapter 1237: Chapter 1232 Accident

Gu Youyou said, “This is my drawing kit, but it’s not filled with drawing materials, it’s my medical box.”

King Jin understood and nodded at her.

Gu Youyou put on specially made gloves and then said to King Jin, “Take them off, I will have a look at you now.”

This forthrightness made King Jin embarrassed. But having come this far, he certainly wouldn’t back out halfway.

Considering that Gu Youyou seemed to handle confidentiality well, even if she was somewhat annoying, everything else she did was beyond reproach, which made him feel slightly more at ease.

However, taking off his trousers was still awkward. He fumbled for a long while before removing them.

He found it difficult to speak of it and didn’t even dare to look.

On the contrary, Gu Youyou, a woman, appeared very calm.

Gu Youyou gave him a serious examination and noticed a tiny scar.

She asked in surprise, “Have you been injured before?”

King Jin’s face flushed as he nodded and said, “It’s probably because of this injury that I am infertile. Imperial Physician Cui has examined me and said that… my essence has been cut off…”

Gu Youyou was utterly astonished. How could the injury be so coincidental as to sever the vas deferens? Such a wound was similar to a vasectomy in modern medical practice. No wonder he couldn’t have children.

King Jin continued, “I had previously investigated you. I heard that when you were in Qingshui Town, you had cured a patient born with this problem – a child adopted by Doctor Zhou, right?”

As Gu Youyou examined the scar, she nodded and said, “Yuancheng’s congenital phimosis was indeed cured by me.”

King Jin didn’t understand the medical jargon Gu Youyou used, but hearing her affirmative answer reignited his hopes.

He said, “It is because I heard about this case that I dared to let you try. Imperial Physician Cui said my condition is incurable, but perhaps you can help.”

Gu Youyou replied, “In theory, it is treatable. However, your wound is quite old, and everyone’s condition is different – it’s hard to say for sure.”

Having said that, she flipped to the other side and was even more astonished to find a similar scar there. It was too much of a coincidence. If one side was injured by accident, and the other side similarly… it couldn’t possibly be an accident. Could someone have done it deliberately?

“How did you get injured?” Gu Youyou asked in astonishment.

Who would dare give King Jin a vasectomy? Judging by the scars, they seemed to be many years old.

King Jin sighed and said, “It was an accident some years ago.”

“An accident? What kind of accident?” Gu Youyou didn’t believe it to be an accident.

Thinking that Gu Youyou was to treat his condition, King Jin didn’t think much about it and simply said, “When I was twelve, I was playing at the Ducal Residence and fencing with some cousins. Since the weapons were not wary and we were all young, the incident happened.”

“Someone stabbed you twice? And both times they stabbed you there?” Gu Youyou said with a sarcastic smile.

Thinking that Gu Youyou was mocking him, King Jin’s fragile pride was hurt, and he quickly darkened his face, covered his exposed body with his clothes, and huffed, “If you can cure it, then cure it. There’s no need to mock me.”

Gu Youyou was taken aback and realized that her earlier smile might indeed have hurt the patient’s fragile ego, so she quickly apologized to King Jin, saying, “I didn’t mean to mock you just now. It’s just that your… accident seems too coincidental. Please tell me in detail about the accident that happened when you were twelve. Otherwise, I can’t properly treat you.”
