Transmigration into a Book: My Lord, Your Wife Has Taken Another Concubine for You

Chu Mochen vented his anger in Lin Yanran's courtyard, but when he returned to the front yard, he was much calmer than before.

After thinking it over, Chu Mochen finally decided to have Mu Qing take the invitation from the Marquis's residence and go to the palace in a grand manner to invite the imperial physician.

The emperor in the palace also heard about this matter. With a desire to watch the excitement, he generously ordered the head physician of the Imperial Medical Academy, Physician Fan, to make a trip to the Marquis's residence.

The reason, of course, is that the Emperor values ​​the Marquis of Wenxuan's residence and cares about the health of his subjects; this is a great act of imperial grace.

It wasn't Physician Fan's turn to be on duty today. He was already having dinner at his residence when he received the Emperor's decree.

However, upon receiving the Emperor's decree, Physician Fan showed no reluctance whatsoever, neither outwardly nor inwardly. If this were a matter within the palace, Physician Fan would certainly have avoided it like the plague.

But the Marquis of Wenxuan's residence! He can still take a look at the excitement there.

Lord Fan also wants to know if what's being said in Cangming City today is true? Is Marquis Wenxuan really failing?

So when Lord Fan received the Emperor's decree, he put down his rice bowl, didn't even change his clothes, and went out with his servant carrying his medicine chest.

When Chu Mochen saw Mu Qing leading Lord Fan in, he was momentarily stunned, then quickly smiled and went to greet him, "How could I trouble Lord Fan to make this trip?"

Lord Fan cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Chu Mochen, saying, "Your Excellency is too kind. I was merely acting under imperial orders. Your Excellency is highly regarded by the Emperor!"

Chu Mochen bowed towards the direction of the palace and said sincerely, "It is mainly because of the Emperor's boundless grace and compassion for his subjects."

After thanking the Emperor, Chu Mochen said to Lord Fan, "Thank you for your trouble, Lord Fan."

Lord Fan then gestured for Chu Mochen to sit down, extending his left hand.

Lord Fan carefully took the patient's pulse for a while, then put the items away. He symbolically asked the patient's opinion: "Sir, would you like to dismiss everyone else?"

Chu Mochen still trusted the physicians in his household. He invited the imperial physician to tell everyone that he was only temporarily unable to perform the procedure and had not become a eunuch.

Therefore, Chu Mochen naturally wouldn't dismiss the servants: "It's alright, Lord Fan, just speak directly."

Lord Fan considered this carefully and said, "The Marquis has indeed been affected by two kinds of medicine, and neither of these medicines should have such strong side effects."

But the Marquis's body was already showing signs of depletion, which is why the effects of these two medicines were so strong.

"As long as the Marquis abstains from women for three years and takes good care of himself, he will definitely recover seventy or eighty percent of his original strength."

"Only 70-80% recovery?" This truly shocked Chu Mochen, who had assumed that Lord Fan would definitely be able to cure him completely.

After all, Lord Fan is the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, the best physician in the Imperial Medical Academy, and the emperor's personal physician.

Chu Mochen wished he could rush into the backyard right now and kill Aunt Sun and Aunt Xie.

It concerns a man's dignity, so Chu Mochen couldn't possibly be indifferent to it, but now is not the time to dwell on that.

Chu Mochen tried his best to maintain his composure and apologized to Lord Fan:

"Lord Fan, please forgive me, I was quite surprised. Is there no medicine that can restore me to my former state?"

Lord Fan carefully considered his words before speaking to comfort him, "My lord, this ability naturally declines with age."

Your body has been weakened, and it will take two or three years to recover. It's normal that you won't be able to return to your former state.

Even if it recovers to 70-80%, it won't affect anything; there's no need to be fixated on going back to the way things were. Who in this world can truly conquer time?

Although Chu Mochen was filled with anger, resentment and other negative emotions, he remained rational. The head of the academy was not someone he could afford to offend.

Chu Mochen smiled bravely and stuffed a purse containing one hundred taels of silver into Lord Fan's hand. "Then I'll trouble Lord Fan to prescribe the medicine! Please also write down any precautions you may take."

Finally, I would like to trouble you to say a few good words for me. You don't need to lie; just say that I will recover in two or three years.

Lord Fan accepted the purse, smiling with great satisfaction. "It is my duty to prescribe medicine, but I cannot deceive the emperor. However, I promise the Marquis that I will not speak ill of him in front of outsiders."

Lord Fan thought this trip was worthwhile; not only did he earn some extra money, but he also verified the truth of a rumor circulating in the streets.

Chu Mochen was satisfied when he heard Lord Fan say this. He hadn't expected that he could get Lord Fan to help him deceive the emperor just by giving him a reward of one hundred taels of silver.

Mu Qing quickly stepped forward to lead Lord Fan down to write the medical instructions.

After Lord Fan left, Chu Mochen ordered someone to spread the message, "Tell her she'll recover in two or three years."

After Chu Mochen had arranged everything, he angrily smashed everything in the house again before finally having to accept the reality.

As expected, Chu Yunyun and Chu Ruoyu developed high fevers around midnight. After all, it was already early winter in this world, and they had been kneeling at Lin Yanran's courtyard gate for so long during the day.

The people from Shiyun Courtyard reported to the main courtyard immediately. Wenmei did not allow anyone to disturb Lin Yanran's sleep, but directly sent someone to notify the royal physician to take a look.

The messenger from Shiyun Courtyard, upon hearing Wenju's instructions and remembering Aunt Sun's orders, could only kneel at the entrance of Wenzheng Courtyard and cautiously inquire, "Sister Wenmei, could you please summon an imperial physician to examine the Third Young Master and the Eldest Miss?"

Wenju showed no aloofness on her face, but instead explained gently: "I am just a servant and cannot make the decision to invite the imperial physician. Madam no longer has the power to manage the household and cannot make the decision either."

"You should either go to the front courtyard to report to the Marquis to get the invitation, or report to the old lady of Deyuan Courtyard to get the invitation."

After Wenju finished speaking, she went back inside, not bothering to care about the reactions of the people in Shiyun Courtyard.

The people in Shiyun Courtyard saw the main courtyard gate open and then close again, and they no longer cared whether what the lady's personal maid was saying was true or false.

After all, the illnesses of the Third Young Master and the Eldest Miss couldn't wait, so they stood up and hurried to the front yard.

Chu Mochen was so angry about the series of embarrassing things that happened today that he couldn't sleep all night.

Finally, it was the person serving him who lit a calming incense stick, and he drifted off to sleep.

As a result, Chu Mochen had only fallen asleep for a short while when someone came to wake him up, saying that the Third Young Master and the Eldest Miss were ill and they wanted to invite the imperial physician.

Chu Mochen was already somewhat angry with the two children because of what happened during the day. If they hadn't insisted on going to the madam to plead for their aunt, the madam wouldn't have spoken out about it without any regard for the consequences.

Besides, he had already consulted the imperial physician once today, and he didn't want to hear any more rumors about their marquis's mansion tomorrow.

So Chu Mochen only said angrily, "Send someone to fetch the royal physician," and then went back to sleep.

As for visiting the two children at Shiyun Courtyard, Chu Mochen had no intention of doing so at the moment. He needed to take good care of himself and couldn't afford to stay up all night.
