Chapter 330: Condition Improves

look at Gu Jingxi, "Father, son has several questions about his studies. I wonder if Father has time to give some guidance"Gu Jingxi looked at him with a faint gaze, seeing his anticipation, and nodd...Wen Taoyi's eyes lit up: "Master Hou, is this true"

Gu Jingxi heard this question and was immediately angered. He glared at the other person with displeasure and said in an unpleasant tone, "You incompetent doctor, do you think I would specially fabricate lies to deceive you"

The warm physician hurriedly said: "My lord has misunderstood what I meant."

Gu Jingxi kept a composed face and remained silent, giving the appearance of not wanting to engage with the incompetent doctor.

Upon seeing this, Dr. Wen not only did not panic, but instead smiled and asked: "May I ask, Lord Marquis, when did you first start to feel this distinct sense of heat"

Gu Jingxi replied truthfully, "It's only been like this for the past few days. At first, I didn't pay much attention. It was only the day before yesterday that I had a nosebleed out of the blue, and I felt like it was getting worse."

Wen Taishi, upon hearing this, smiled broadly and congratulated him: "The lower official congratulates the Marquis, and wishes the Marquis joy!"

Hearing this, Gu Jingxi looked at him with a complicated and indescribable look in his eyes, saying incredulously, "You quack doctor, when a patient has a nosebleed, you say congratulations If they have a hemorrhage, wouldn't you send them congratulatory gifts"

"My Lord, you don't understand," Dr. Wen smiled enigmatically, "feeling the heat means there's fire in your body. For you, it's a good thing. Nosebleeds happen because the fire can't be released."

Gu Jingxi was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted to what Dr. Wen meant. This meant the medicine worked. For now, this quack doctor's medical skills seemed trustworthy.

For a moment, he said: “But I have no other reaction.”

The physician felt a surge of pride after being defended. He spoke with newfound confidence, saying calmly: “My Lord, my medicine is not a magical elixir. It's ordinary medicine for common people. It can't cure you instantly; it takes time and persistence. If you want to fully recover, you need to continue taking the medicine I prescribed before. If there are further improvements, I will give you another type of medicine.”

Gu Jingxi asked, "How long will this still require medication"

“This depends on the Lord’s own circumstances. The imperial physician stroked his beard, coughed lightly, and lowered his voice to ask, “The ‘good medicine’ that I gave the Lord before, the Lord should not have used it less, right Otherwise, relying solely on medication shouldn't have progressed so quickly. Lord, just continue using that ‘good medicine’ and stimulate it a bit more.”

Gu Jingxi: "..."

The Imperial physician glanced at him and then said, "My Lord Marquis, you needn't feel embarrassed. It's perfectly normal for a husband and wife. For this book, I searched high and low in the dusty corners of my study. An old man like me going to buy this kind of book is no shame at all. My Lord Marquis and your Lady are still young, what's there to be ashamed of"

Gu Jingxi said faintly: "That's because you, a quack doctor, are not serious. No real doctor would treat patients like this."

Wen Taizi retorted: "How a disease is cured doesn't matter, what matters most is that the method works, that is a good prescription. Besides, if my subordinate isn't serious, then your Lordship is being insincere.

Gu Jingxi: "..."

When did a quack doctor become so sharp-tongued

The imperial physician, Wen Taiyi, was delighted to see him humbled. He gave him a bit more encouragement: "If nothing unexpected happens, your honorable wife will be pregnant next year, but the lord needs to continue taking medicine on time."

Gu Jingxi nodded lightly. He had told Ayao last year that they would have another child in two years, and next year would be two years. That way, he wouldn't break his promise to Ayao.

A moment later, the imperial physician Wen suddenly curiously asked, "My lord Marquis, your esteemed wife doesn't know about you treating illnesses"

Gu Jingxi gave him a look, as if to say: Do you think she knows

Wen Taoyi, seeing this, revealed a knowing expression. Men in this situation want face, how could he let his wife know he was secretly receiving treatment If the treatment worked, it would be fine, but if it didn't, he estimated he would be scorned by his wife. He directly concealed it, hoping that one day he would regain his former glory. For his wife, this would be a surprise, after all, it would end her days of widowhood.

The imperial physician instructed, “My lord, there is one thing I must remind you. If there is a reaction, my lord should not act hastily. Continue taking the medicine and wait until it stabilizes before taking any action.

Gu Jingxi questioned, "Why"

The imperial physician spoke earnestly, "My lord has been ill for so long. Even if there is a sudden reaction, it will only be temporary and not lasting. Perhaps things won't improve. For men, to make a fool of themselves in front of a woman for the first time can be a blow to their self-confidence and pride, which is detrimental to their condition."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jingxi thought of the scene where he was halfway through painting and suddenly couldn't continue...

He hurriedly stopped to write, this shameful thing, he dared not think about it in detail.

Unknowingly, Gu Jingxi had sent Dr. Wen to the front door. After bidding farewell to Dr. Wen, he returned to Weiruixuan.

It was night, the moon was bright and the stars were few.

As his condition improved, Gu Jingxi felt more confident in himself. He followed the doctor's orders and used the "good medicine" prescribed by Wen Taishi. He held Meng Jinyao tightly and did a lot of tossing and turning.

After much struggle, Meng Jin Yao was satisfied, but Gu Jing Xi became upset again. He could only console himself, saying that since he couldn't truly eat the meat, just getting a taste was good enough. There were men who couldn't even get a taste, not even touching the hands of a young lady. At least he had a beautiful young wife in his arms.

Although he was still lacking compared to the best, Gu Jingxi managed to console himself.

Meng Jinyang wasn't wearing anything, lying in his arms. Seeing that he was still wearing his sleeping clothes, she felt a surge of curiosity again and said, "Husband, I feel a little unfair."

Gu Jingxi was confused: "What's unfair"

Meng Jin Yao looked at him intently, "I showed you everything, but you haven't shown me anything."

Gu Jingxi laughed and said, “What's there to look at about a man's body”

Meng Jin Yao said nonchalantly, "I don't think women are pretty either, but you seem to like looking at them quite a bit. People always find unknown things interesting."

Gu Jingxi helplessly smiled. It was clear that she was truly interested in her own body, but he didn't want to show her right now. He could only politely refuse: "Ayao, let me show you later, okay"

Hearing this, Meng Jin Yao also didn't make a fuss. She simply said, "Alright then, when you're not so shy, we can talk."

Gu Jingxi hugged her tightly, burying his head in her neck, and whispered softly, "Ayao, all I can give you now is this. Do you regret it"

Meng Jinyao reached out and hugged his waist, softly replying, "Never regretted it. Don't overthink things. I'm afraid you'll regret marrying me instead. To be honest, I'm quite naive and don't understand many things. I can only rely on you.

Gu Jingxi said softly, "Don't talk nonsense. Ayao isn't stupid, she has the ability to stand on her own two feet." He paused, then changed the subject, "Of course, when I'm here, I still hope you rely on me, become a wife who relies on her husband. That would make me feel proud."ts. The son of the Marquis, if capable, could even secure a position in court without relying on the imperial examinations, thanks to his father's connections. He could then inherit his title. If he c...
