Chapter 350 Morning Reaction
The next morning, as dawn was breaking.
Gu Jingxi woke up and was about to get up when he suddenly felt something was wrong with his body. He abruptly threw off the covers and looked at his lower body, his gaze freezing instantly.
In an instant, a mix of emotions welled up inside Gu Jingxi, who stared at that spot, unsure how to react.
For him, having this morning reaction was something that happened more than a decade ago.
He had already given up and had no hope for this matter, but after meeting A Yao, he decided to trust Doctor Wen again. As it turned out, Doctor Wen's medical skills were indeed quite good.
Gu Jingxi turned his head to look at his sleeping wife beside him, and suddenly felt an urge to ask for leave today and not attend the court meeting.
However, the next moment he remembered what Physician Wen had said.
Gu Jingxi felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, chilling him to the bone. The impulse vanished instantly. He narrowed his eyes, sighed resignedly, and knew that he couldn't rush things. After the court assembly, he had to go to Physician Wen to get a different medicine and wait until things stabilized before making any decisions.
Thinking this, Gu Jingxi got up, dressed, and washed up.
After the lengthy court session ended, Gu Jingxi immediately went to the Imperial Hospital to see Physician Wen.
When Imperial Physician Wen saw Gu Jingxi arrive, he was quite surprised. In private conversation, he asked, "My Lord, why did you suddenly come to see me? Are you unwell?"
Gu Jingxi looked slightly uneasy: "I woke up this morning and found that I had a morning reaction."
Upon hearing this, Imperial Physician Wen was stunned. It took him a long time to understand before he asked hesitantly, "There is a reaction, but it cannot be accomplished?"
As he spoke, Imperial Physician Wen glanced at Gu Jingxi again. Seeing him frown, he continued, "My lord, I reminded you before that even if there is a reaction, it is only temporary and occasional, and it won't lead to anything. You still need to continue taking the medicine and wait until it stabilizes. If you act rashly, you will be the one who suffers the consequences."
Gu Jingxi frowned even more: "I haven't tried it."
Physician Wen was stunned. After a moment, he asked, "So, Your Highness didn't try it this morning? Hmm, it's good that you don't try things lightly. I'll give Your Highness another kind of medicine. You don't need to take the previous one anymore."
Gu Jingxi asked, "How long do I need to take the other medicine?"
Physician Wen first took Gu Jingxi's pulse and then replied, "Your Highness, please take the medicine for two or three months. If you feel stable, it means you have been cured, and you can stop taking the medicine and resume normal sexual activity."
Gu Jingxi asked in surprise, "It will take another two or three months to cure?"
"Does Your Highness think two or three months is too long?" Physician Wen asked in return, then added, "Actually, it's already quite fast. The medicine I gave Your Highness is the result of many improvements to the prescription. If we were to use the same prescriptions I used to treat Your Highness, it would take much longer."
Gu Jingxi shook his head: "It's not that it takes too long, it's another problem. What if it still doesn't work after two or three months?"
Without hesitation, Physician Wen replied, "That's impossible. Your Excellency's condition is much more serious than that of my previous patients. They only needed to take the medicine for a month, but Your Excellency needs to take it for another month or two. It's impossible that it won't work."
Gu Jingxi remained silent: "..."
Therefore, he takes the medication for two or three times longer than others in order to achieve the same effect.
Seeing that he remained silent, Physician Wen assumed that he was worried about his health, so he took out a bottle of medicine from his medicine box and introduced its effects: "If Your Highness is worried that you will not be able to achieve your goal in the future, take this medicine before having sex. It can help Your Highness to achieve your wish. Your Highness can rest assured that this medicine is mild and harmless to the body. It was developed by me after several years of research."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingxi's brow twitched, and he said, "Just how many unorthodox methods do you, this quack doctor, employ? First it was that book, and now it's this medicine."
Having been called a quack doctor so many times, Imperial Physician Wen was now immune to the word "quack doctor." Stroking his white beard, he said unhurriedly, "My lord, don't underestimate it. This medicine of mine is very effective. Many people have asked me for it in private. Even someone as old as the Marquis of Huai'an has used it and said it works well. He even asked me for some of this medicine yesterday."
Gu Jingxi fell silent again: "..."
Speaking of the Marquis of Huai'an, he was a man over fifty years old. When his father was alive, he relied on his father; after his father passed away, he relied on his son. He was stuck in the middle, a good-for-nothing who indulged in wine and women. He was incompetent in both civil and military affairs and held no official position in the court. He only had a title and a salary. If it weren't for the old Marquis of Huai'an and his heir being ambitious, the Marquis of Huai'an's mansion would have been in a terrible state.
The only useful thing the Marquis of Huai'an did was urge his eldest son to be ambitious, and then have children with different women to expand the family line. A few days ago, he even took a fifteen-year-old concubine. He had a total of twenty-three children, including his sons and daughters. Apart from those who died in accidents or from illness, fifteen of them are still alive.
If the Marquis of Huai'an, whose body is already weakened, says a medicine is effective, then it must be a good medicine, but he doesn't need it.
Gu Jingxi glanced at the bottle of medicine and said indifferently, "It's normal for the Marquis of Huai'an to need this kind of medicine since he is over fifty years old."
Upon hearing this, Physician Wen wanted to say that many men begin to decline in this area after the age of thirty, but seeing his confidence, he didn't want to discourage him. He simply said, "My lord, you can keep this medicine for now. It's just a drug to enhance the pleasure during intercourse. You can take it whether you have any problems or not, and it won't harm your health."
Gu Jingxi firmly refused: "I don't need it."
Physician Wen did not insist. Perhaps the man would come to him for this medicine later. So he took back the bottle of medicine and gave him only the medicine he needed, and instructed him: "From today onwards, the Marquis will take this medicine. You do not need to take the previous medicine anymore. The bottles of the two medicines are the same. The Marquis must not take the wrong medicine."
Gu Jingxi took the medicine and nodded in thanks: "Thank you, Physician Wen. I will dispose of the previous medicine and will not take the wrong one."
After Gu Jingxi left, a colleague from the Imperial Hospital came up to Wen and gossiped, "Wen, what did Lord Gu want with you?"
Physician Wen naturally wouldn't tell the truth. If he told others about this, it would probably spread in a few days. So he made up a lie to get by: "Lord Gu is busy with official duties and has been having headaches lately. He can't sleep well at night and asked me for some calming medicine."
The imperial physician understood immediately: "So that's how it is. Officials who are busy with official duties have little time to rest, and many of them suffer from headaches. Vice Minister Zheng of the Ministry of Revenue just consulted me yesterday about his headache."
Physician Wen replied, "That's right. When I was young, I was so engrossed in studying medicine that I often forgot to eat and sleep. I didn't get enough rest, and that caused me headaches too."
