Reborn As Divine Doctor to Rule the World-Chapter 163 - 164: Someone Else Has the Problem

Chapter 163: Chapter 164: Someone Else Has the Problem

The following day, two concubines went to greet the Old Madam and, spotting the Imperial Physician tasting tea, they knew something was amiss.

“Your servant pays respect to the Old Madam,” the two bowed together.

The Old Madam, beaming, gestured to Nanny Xu to help them rise while giving her a meaningful look.

Nanny Xu quickly understood, smiling as she said to the two concubines, “Your timing is auspicious, today Imperial Doctor Xu just happens to be here for the Old Madam’s checkup. Why don’t we have him check you as well?”

“No need, no need, we are in good health, no trouble for Imperial Doctor Xu,” He Caier hurriedly waved her hands in refusal.

Zhao Jiuer was even more frightened, unsure of what to do. After all, they had only recently started taking medicine to regulate their health, and they didn’t know if it was effective yet. They were well aware of the consequences if it was discovered they could no longer conceive.

The Old Madam, being extremely astute, saw their reaction and immediately knew something was improper. She slammed her teacup on the table and said sternly, “If I say you’re getting checked, you’re getting checked. Is Imperial Doctor Xu not worthy to take your pulse?”

“Certainly not, your servant will follow the Old Madam’s orders,” knowing she couldn’t refuse, He Caier just hoped that the medicine Shao He gave them was indeed effective.

He Caier was aware she couldn’t refuse, she just hoped the medicine Shao He gave them was effective.

Imperial Doctor Xu took their pulses one by one, and the final result was that both concubines had no problems at all.

He Caier and Zhao Jiuer sighed in relief; apparently, the medicine they were taking did work.

“All right, you may go now,” the Old Madam waved them off.

“Yes.” The two concubines stood and left.

The Old Madam gave Nanny Xu a look, who immediately followed the two out and then closed the door behind them.

As Imperial Doctor Xu stood up, he clasped his hands and said, “Old Madam, since the concubines in the house have no issues, and the Marquis frequently engages in marital relations, could it possibly be that…”

He didn’t finish his sentence, but his implication was clear – the problem might lie with Chu Yu.

The Old Madam knew this logic well enough; if both concubines were fine, then clearly someone else was at fault.

However, remembering Shao He’s child, she immediately denied it, “Impossible, the Lady of the Marquis of Pingnan had difficulties in childbirth and passed away, but she was carrying the Marquis’s own child.”

“The difficulty in conceiving before might have evolved into an inability to impregnate, simply put, from oligospermia to azoospermia,” Imperial Doctor Xu immediately clarified.

“How could this be!” the Old Madam was still unwilling to believe the issue lay with her grandson.

Seeing this, Imperial Doctor Xu could only stand up to take his leave, as he had already said everything he could; if the Old Madam did not believe him, there was nothing he could do.

Just as Imperial Doctor Xu was about to leave, the Old Madam thought for a moment and said, “Wait a moment!”

Imperial Doctor Xu stopped in his tracks and turned, puzzled. The Old Madam took several deep breaths, her voice serious, “Please, Imperial Doctor Xu, wait a moment, I will have someone call the Marquis over for you to diagnose him.”

This statement meant that the Old Madam chose to believe Imperial Doctor Xu.

The Old Madam ordered Nanny Xu to find Chu Yu, and in less than an hour, Chu Yu followed Nanny Xu into the room.

Chu Yu entered the room and, upon seeing Imperial Doctor Xu, was momentarily startled, then asked, “Mother, what is this about?”

The Old Madam’s heart sank upon seeing this reaction—despite her mental preparation, she realized the situation was worse than she had anticipated when she actually faced it.

“Ahem, ahem, ahem!” the Old Madam suddenly began coughing violently, clutching her chest.

Nanny Xu quickly poured a cup of hot water and handed it to the Old Madam.

“Mother, what is wrong, please, do not be agitated, take your time,” Chu Yu rushed over to support the Old Madam, gently patting her back to soothe her.

After catching her breath, the Old Madam waved her hand to signal Nanny Xu to step back.

Noticing something was off but seeing the Old Madam’s pale face and pained expression, Chu Yu could not help but furrow his brow.

“Grandmother, what is the matter, are you feeling unwell?” Chu Yu asked with concern.

Imperial Doctor Xu hurried over to take the Old Madam’s pulse and, after finishing, shook his head, “The Old Madam’s pulse is erratic, likely due to extended stress, plus she’s not young anymore. She shouldn’t overexert herself, or her body might not hold up.”

The Old Madam sighed and nodded weakly, “Could I trouble Imperial Doctor Xu to also take Yuyu’s pulse?”

As Imperial Doctor Xu reached out, Chu Yu dodged his hand.

“I am quite healthy; there is no need to trouble Imperial Doctor Xu, just take care of my grandmother,” he said.

The Old Madam gripped his hand earnestly, “What harm could there be in letting Imperial Doctor Xu take a look?”

“Grandmother, I am not ill, there’s no point,” Chu Yu resisted for reasons unknown to him.

“You, you… ahem, ahem, ahem!” the Old Madam began coughing violently again.

Seeing this, Chu Yu had no choice but to extend his hand, allowing Imperial Doctor Xu to take his pulse. Moments later, he stood up and said, “Old Madam, the problem indeed lies with the Marquis.”

“Is it the condition you mentioned?” the Old Madam held onto the edge of the table, her voice filled with disbelief.

“Yes, the Marquis has azoospermia,” Imperial Doctor Xu said, head bowed.

Listening to their conversation, Chu Yu felt perplexed, only aware that there might be something wrong with his health, yet uncertain exactly what it was.

Moreover, what was this azoospermia that Imperial Doctor Xu spoke of? Was it about him? Impossible!
