Chapter 274: The Condition is Severe
r warmth in winter and coolness in summer, it still felt hot.Fortunately, the room was equipped with ice mirrors to cool down and dissipate the summer heat, making the temperature inside quite comfort...Seeing her red-rimmed eyes, filled with mist, looking as if she were about to cry, Gu Jingxi's heart clenched. Thinking she was in unbearable pain, he quickly soothed, "Ayao, don't cry. If the pain is too much, just bite me. I heard that biting on something can help relieve the pain."
Meng Jin Yao's heart was touched by him, her eyes turning red. Now, hearing his words, she wanted to cry even more, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
She had almost died before. Meng Jinyao, though she feared death and the inability to avenge herself if she died, hadn't cried then. But now, because she was cherished and cared for, tears welled up in her eyes.
Gu Jingxi saw the teardrops rolling down her cheeks and his heart fluttered. He quickly wiped her tears and said softly, "I've already sent someone to invite Dr. Wen from Taichang Hospital. He'll be here once he's on duty. If you can't bear it, I'll have the family doctor come over first. Although the family doctor's skills are not as good as Dr. Wen's, he can do for now."
Meng Jinyao was stunned: "Husband, you asked someone to invite Dr. Wen"
"You're hurting this badly, how can you possibly keep pushing through Dr. Wen is highly skilled and has experience with women's ailments. Even the imperial consorts seek him out. Perhaps he could cure your painful menstruation," he said, then loosened his grip on her, sitting up. "I'll go have someone call for the court physician to treat you. It's half past this hour now, and Dr. Wen hasn't arrived yet."
Meng Jinyao grasped his hand, sniffed, and said, "Husband, there's no need to call the physician. I'm actually feeling better than before."
Gu Jingxi didn't believe it: "A little better You could still be cried to tears"
Meng Jin Yao glared at him, her voice nasal: "Isn't it you who made me cry"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingxi was stunned and innocent, not understanding how he had made the person cry.
Meng Jinyu glanced at him, a hint of shyness in her eyes. She twisted and turned before replying, "Besides my grandfather, only my husband cherishes my words so much." Then she turned away.
Gu Jingxi was taken aback at first, then after a long while, he understood. More than anything, he felt heartache. He had only done what a husband should do.
Gu Jingxi lay back down, pulling the person into his arms. The small figure was curled up, frail and weak. Usually, she was so vibrant and lively, but to see her like this now filled him with a heavy sense of unease.
For a moment, Gu Jingxi pressed his palm against her abdomen, trying to make her more comfortable. He said, "Ayao, this time the kitchen should have already cooked breakfast. Why don't you eat something to warm your stomach Perhaps that will help a little."
Meng Jin Yao nodded in agreement: “That’s good.”
Gu Jingxi brought Qingqiu and Ningdong in again.
Meng Jin Yao was unwell. She brushed her teeth and washed her face while sitting in bed, with two maids attending to her.
After she finished washing up, the other maids also went to the kitchen to bring back breakfast.
Today, the kitchen cooked red date chicken and rice porridge, which is just right for Meng Jin Yao who is feeling unwell. She held a hot water bottle and sat in bed waiting to be fed.
Gu Jingxi fed the person on the bed spoonful by spoonful. Seeing that she had finished a bowl of hot porridge, her complexion seemed to have improved somewhat. He secretly thought to himself how foolish he had been earlier; he should have let the maidservant cook some warming soup for her to drink beforehand.
Gu Jingxi asked, "Ayao, would you like some more"
Meng Jinyang lightly shook her head: "I'm full now, I feel much better. Husband, please eat breakfast first."
Gu Jingxi nodded, took a handkerchief and wiped her mouth for her, then held the bowl and went out.
Qing Qiu and Ning Dong saw him come out, so they went in to ask the master how he was doing.
Meng Jinyao softly replied, "I'm fine, I'm already better. It's just that I haven't had my period for over half a year, and now that it has suddenly come, I'm a little uncomfortable."
Qing Qiu pondered for a moment and advised, "Madam, although some people experience abdominal pain during their menstrual cycle like you, I haven't seen anyone suffer as intensely as you. Perhaps it would be best to return to the Chun Tang Clinic and consult a doctor who specializes in women's ailments"
Meng Jinyao said softly, "The Marquis has sent someone to invite Dr. Wen over to take a look at me. I guess he'll be here later."
Qing Qiu's eyes lit up: "A physician from the Imperial Hospital, that's even better. They must be better than those from Huichuntang."

Wen Taiyi arrived quite early. As soon as he had clocked in, he was invited over by the Gu family. By the third hour of the morning, he had rushed over in a hurry.
"Seeing Marquis Gu Jingxi in the Weiruixuan, who was in high spirits, Dr. Wen, taken aback, looked at him strangely and said, “Your Highness seems to be doing well and doesn’t look like you are ill. You don't need me to see you.”
Gu Jingxi replied, "I'm fine, but my wife is feeling unwell, so I asked Wen Taiyi to come over."
Wen Taoyi was taken aback, he scanned the room, only to see maidservants standing there. He didn't see the mistress's figure, and then asked: "Where is Madam Gu"
"Come with me, Imperial Physician Wen," Gu Jingxi said, then led Imperial Physician Wen into the inner room.
When Dr. Wen saw this, his brows furrowed slightly, feeling a bit tricky. Mrs. Gu was so young, she was only sixteen years old, apparently sick enough to be bedridden
On the other side, Meng Jin Yao was lying in bed talking to Qing Qiu. Hearing footsteps, she turned her head and saw her husband and a man in an official robe walk in. The man was about sixty years old, with white hair but a spirited look. He had kind eyebrows and eyes, and looked very approachable.
This person should be Dr. Wen.
Gu Jingxi was afraid that his young wife would feel embarrassed talking to a stranger about these things, so he answered for her, carefully explaining the symptoms: "After her period, she had unbearable abdominal pain. She even woke up from sleep in the middle of the night because of the pain. Her face was pale, and she was sweating. This happened before as well."
As soon as he said this, Wen Taiyi turned his head and glanced at Gu Jingxi. “.....” The subordinate didn't ask you, why did you answer so eagerly
However, the fact that his wife knows so much about her menstrual cycle also proves she cares. With such a beautiful wife at home, it's no wonder he suddenly sought him out for treatment before, wanting to regain his virility. After all, Lord Gu had previously dismissed him as a quack doctor and refused to be treated.
Now both husband and wife have problems, they both came to him. One is the man's problem, and the other is the woman's problem.
How did this old man suddenly transform from a quack doctor to a divine physician in the mind of Lord Guking was one thing, but he didn't even offer to pass food to his wife! He was truly becoming more and more taciturn with age. What would happen in a few years Which young woman would want to be marrie...
