The mistress of the Hou family worked herself to death, and she did not serve after her rebirth

Hearing this, Pei Jiuniang was startled for a moment, but soon returned to normal. At the signal of Imperial Physician He, she quickly stood up and sat on the high stool in front of Imperial Physician He, putting her hand on the pulse table.

Imperial Physician He glanced at her, put his hand on her pulse, closed his eyes and stroked his beard, and moved his hands back and forth for a while. After about a quarter of an hour, he raised his hand and said, "Madam has a serious cold in her body, which she has had since her mother's womb. She must have been taking care of herself, so she has not developed any symptoms. I wonder if the doctor who treated Madam before has told her that you are not suitable for marriage, let alone childbirth?"

When asking this question, Imperial Physician He glanced at Marquis Gu Tingzhi, who was standing not far in front of him and had been looking worried ever since he heard him say that Mrs. Pei might not live long. But he quickly retracted his gaze and looked at Mrs. Pei again.

"I have."

Although Pei Jiuniang had heard of the great name of Imperial Physician He, she did not hold high expectations.

Her family has a good relationship with Grandpa Yu, and Grandpa Yu has been helping to take care of her health since she was a child. Grandpa Yu's medical skills are already among the best in the capital.

Moreover, Grandpa Yu had some disputes over medical skills with Imperial Physician He, who came out of Yaowang Valley and was threatened with being tied up before entering the Imperial Hospital. Therefore, she had never thought of looking for Imperial Physician He.

But she had not forgotten to take care of herself in her previous life, yet she still only lived to be thirty.

In this life, she wanted to have more time.

Only then did I remember the Imperial Physician He that Grandpa Yu had mentioned.

And Gu Tingzhi happened to have a way to meet him, so she didn't refuse.

However, she didn't expect that this man was indeed quite capable. He could tell at a glance that she would not live long before even taking her pulse.

I also felt some hope in my heart.

"Doctor He, my ancestors owed him a favor, and I cannot refuse the marriage. Since I am married, I will eventually give birth to children for my husband's family."

Pei Jiuniang didn't want Imperial Physician He to misunderstand. She had heard from Grandpa Yu that Imperial Physician He had a rather strange personality. He had one requirement when treating patients: if the patient did not take care of his body, he would not save him even if he was the emperor.

She was also afraid that he would continue to ask questions.

She didn't want to talk about old things.

"It's more than that..."

Imperial Physician He suddenly changed the subject, his expression became more serious, and before Pei Jiuniang could speak, he continued, "Even if she gives birth, if she is well taken care of, she can at least live for another 20 years, but..."

"I hope that Imperial Doctor He can come up with a solution. I want to accompany my son to grow up and watch him grow up..."

Pei Jiuniang saw that Yu Ge's little face was tense. She didn't want the child to mistakenly think that giving birth to him had shortened his life, so she hurriedly interrupted He Imperial Physician's words.

Imperial Physician He raised an eyebrow and glanced at her, then looked at Brother Yu, who was young but could already distinguish right from wrong. In the end, he just sighed, "Well, it can be regarded as a sincere love for your son. Life span is determined by heaven. Since you want to live, I will naturally help you. Remember not to overwork, and don't have children anymore, not even pregnant. With my pills, I can guarantee that you will be safe for fifteen years."

Hearing that she could live for another five years, Pei Jiuniang felt relieved. She hurriedly saluted Imperial Physician He and called Brother Yu, who had tears on his face, to come over.

"Doctor He, actually the main reason I came here this time is to ask you to help me check my child. He may have been hindered by my health. He has been weak since childhood. I mistakenly believed what others said before, thinking that being a vegetarian would bring blessings to the child. It was me who hindered him. The child is now five years old, but he looks like he is only two or three years old. He can't speak well, but he is very smart. I have only taught him for more than a month, and he is already..."

"Let the child come over." Imperial Physician He interrupted her and waved at Brother Yu. Brother Yu glanced at Pei Jiuniang, and when he saw Pei Jiuniang nod, he walked up to Imperial Physician He, climbed up onto the high stool with great effort, and imitated Pei Jiuniang's previous behavior, putting his thin arm on the pulse table.

Pei Jiuniang didn't dare to breathe and kept pressing against He Imperial Physician's face. Seeing him frown, her heart tightened.

Finally, Imperial Physician He finished his diagnosis. "It is true that he is born weak, and he did not eat well in the later period, so his physical foundation is poor. As for what you said about learning things quickly, it should be related to his parents' genes. I remember that your Pei family has always had people who became famous at a young age, and I think he is the same.

Besides, the child's reluctance to speak is probably related to the environment in which he grew up. Your body has not been well taken care of, and the same is true for the child. As the mistress of the Marquis's mansion and the legitimate son, what else can you lack? Even if you are busy, you always have a group of slaves, maids and maids around you. How could the child..."

Imperial Physician He looked at Gu Tingzhi as he spoke.

Gu Tingzhi remained silent throughout the whole process.

But Pei Jiuniang still noticed his tightly clenched fists.

"I wonder if there is any way?"

Pei Jiuniang asked respectfully.

"Warm up the body, exercise more, and spend time with him. The child has a problem in his heart. Once he gets rid of it, he will be no different from an ordinary person. I can also prescribe some pills for him, and you can give him some. They are all for strengthening the body. It won't hurt me if he takes too much."

"Thank you, Imperial Doctor He."

When Pei Jiuniang heard Imperial Physician He say that as long as Brother Yu took care of himself from now on, his body would be no different from that of an ordinary person, and his speech and physical condition would catch up with those of an ordinary person, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She was always worried that it was because of her health that she had implicated Brother Yu.

Only at this moment did I feel completely relieved.

I couldn't help but ponder what Imperial Physician He said. The reason why Brother Yu refused to speak was not because of his physical condition, but because no one had talked to him since he was a child, and the child had a knot in his heart.

It would be a lie to say that I don't hate Liu.

She always thought that even if Liu no longer liked her, Brother Yu was still her legitimate grandson. Even if she only sent an old nanny and a servant to take care of him, Brother Yu would definitely not be left lacking.

But I didn’t expect that Brother Yu actually grew up in a silent environment since childhood.

No wonder her brother Yu was afraid of people before.

Liu would always point at him and scold him for being unpresentable.

Pei Jiuniang took a few deep breaths before she suppressed the urge to go back and fight Liu.

Imperial Physician He waved to them, and they saluted and then left.

Imperial Physician He handed the prescription to the medicine boy, who said that it would take two hours for the medicine to be ready and then he could take it home and eat it directly.

She sat on a low stool holding Brother Yu in her arms, while Gu Tingzhi stood beside them waiting without saying a word.

Just when she thought they would remain silent until they left, Gu Tingzhi actually spoke with a strange look on his face.

"Didn't you take the initiative to get married?"

Hearing this, Pei Jiuniang was stunned and glanced at Gu Tingzhi with an unhappy expression, thinking that he had been silent all the time, but as soon as he opened his mouth he asked about these old stories.

She was a little annoyed, "Why? Lord, you suddenly found out that I didn't beg to marry you, and you feel unhappy?"

"No, that's not it." Gu Tingzhi didn't expect her to get angry. Seeing her sarcastic expression, his heart tightened. "I just don't know..."

"What do you not know?" Pei Jiuniang met his gaze, her tone more sarcastic, "I don't know if you are forcing me to marry her out of favor, or if you don't know that my body is not suitable for childbearing? I did wonder before why you knew I was not suitable for childbearing but still forced me to marry her. I thought..."

Pei Jiuniang was stunned for a moment, and swallowed back the words Liu said that "Gu Tingzhi likes her".

Whether she likes him or not, she should have known it clearly after these years.

I guess it was just an excuse to lie to her back then.

Why did he leave her, his newlywed, behind to guard the frontier for the sake of the marquis's mansion and the imperial court?

Back then, she actually believed it wrongly and relied on such ridiculous affection to get through year after year.

She is confused.

"In short, the Marquis didn't really want to marry me, and I didn't really want to marry him either. Even if the Marquis left on the wedding night and left us alone for five years, it's all in the past. Since the Marquis never cared about me, I don't owe him anything.

There is no love between you and me, but Brother Yu is my biological son. Because of me, Brother Yu has been in poor health. If the Marquis still cares about Brother Yu, I hope he can treat him well. You also heard that Imperial Physician He said that Brother Yu will still be able to bring honor to the Marquis' Mansion in the future.

I hope that even if the Marquis has a new legitimate son or daughter in the future, he can still care about Brother Yu a little bit?"

"New legitimate son or daughter?" Gu Tingzhi was stunned, his face suddenly tightened, and he looked at Pei Jiuniang.

"Didn't the Marquis hear that I can only live for fifteen years at most? Or did you say that for fifteen years, the Marquis would be unable to move?"
