Chapter 265 Gynecological Disease

Chapter 265: Gynecological Diseases

He knew that Xie Jinrong and his wife had always wanted to have grandchildren, but Xie Liuzheng had been reluctant to marry, and in the mansion there wasn't a single chamber-concubine, let alone a proper concubine.

Within three years, he probably wouldn't even see a shadow of a grandson.

Prime Minister Hua's remark struck him right in the heart.

Xie Jinrong felt a lump in his chest. Even though he very much wanted to experience the joy of holding a grandson, he knew it was not his own.

He turned Prime Minister Hua down with a haughty air.

"No need. There's nothing like holding your own son. I'll go home and hold my son."

The word "hold" was squeezed out through his teeth, making Xie Liuzheng's heart race with anxiety.

In this hot weather, why did he feel a chill?

Prime Minister Hua looked at Xie Jinrong's livid face and felt immensely smug.

Serves him right for showing off Ji Yuntang just now. Bet that stings, huh?

He laughed heartily. "Duke Rong, are you planning to go home and have another son with your wife?"

"Well, then your son and my grandson can attend school together. That would be quite a fun thing, wouldn't it?"

Xie Jinrong: "..."

Xie Jinrong: "!!!"

His chest felt even tighter.

With no outlet for his frustration, he turned his head and shot a vicious glare at Xie Liuzheng.

It was all that little bastard's fault—at his age, he still hadn't married and given him a daughter-in-law.

In an era where everyone could show off their grandchildren, he was left empty-handed.

Came with nothing, will leave with nothing.

Xie Liuzheng was baffled by Xie Jinrong's glare.

He hadn't done anything—what was that look from his father?

Ji Yuntang gave Xie Liuzheng a sympathetic look and lowered her voice and whispered with a grin, "Bro, I think you'd better pray for yourself tonight!"

Xie Liuzheng: "???"

He wanted to ask Ji Yuntang why she said that, but saw that she had already left her seat.

Ji Yuntang walked up to Hua Ruyue, smiled, and asked with concern.

"Madam Hua, how is your recovery? Would you like me to feel your pulse again?"

Speaking of which, Hua Ruyue was one of her patients as well. Since Ji Yuntang had accepted payment from the Prime Minister's mansion, she naturally had the responsibility to treat her.

Hua Ruyue looked at Ji Yuntang and recognized her at once—this was the fairy she saw in her dream when she was in difficult labor.

It was this fairy's intervention that pulled her and her child back from the jaws of death.

A grateful smile appeared on Hua Ruyue's delicate and beautiful face as she parted her lips to speak.

"Princess Ye, thank you for saving me and my son. I owe you a debt of gratitude. In the future, if you need anything from the Xu Mansion or the Prime Minister's Mansion, feel free to come to me. I will do my utmost to repay you."

Ji Yuntang smiled. "Madam Hua, you're too polite. As a physician, healing the sick and saving lives is my duty. Don't worry too much about it."

"Besides, Assistant Minister Xu has helped me many times. We're old acquaintances now, and if I can help, I naturally will."

Hua Ruyue nodded slightly with a gentle smile playing on her lips.

"Then I'd trouble Princess Ye to take my pulse. May I speak with you in private?"

Ji Yuntang guessed that Hua Ruyue might have something to ask her privately, and it wasn't convenient to talk here with too many eyes and ears around, so she agreed, "Alright."

The two went to a quiet guest room. Hua Ruyue placed her hand on the table, and Ji Yuntang felt her pulse.

During this time, her lips moved, and she seemed to hesitate, as if wanting to say something.

"Madam Hua, are you feeling unwell?"

"If you feel any discomfort, feel free to tell me. Don't let embarrassment keep you from seeking treatment."

Hua Ruyue looked a bit embarrassed. Such matters were too private, and she really didn't know how to bring it up.

But now, the only one who could help her was Ji Yuntang.

She first asked Ji Yuntang a question.

"Princess Ye, may I ask how many times a week you and Prince Ye have sex?"

Ji Yuntang: "!!!"

She was stunned for a moment before realizing that Hua Ruyue's "seven luminaries" meant seven days.

Ji Yuntang felt a bit awkward. She couldn't exactly say that she and Luo Junhe hadn't yet consummated their marriage.

So she came up with a quick excuse.

"I haven't exactly kept track. May I ask why Madam Hua is asking?"

Hua Ruyue bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

"I'm not afraid that Princess Ye will laugh at me. My husband and I have a very good relationship. Before I got pregnant with Yue'er, we were completely uninhibited in bed, having sex ten to twenty times a week."

Ji Yuntang: "!!!"

She hadn't expected that Xu Muyan, who seemed gentle and refined, would be so formidable in this regard.

Ordinary people only have about three times a week, right?

Indeed, you can't judge a book by its cover.

At that moment, Ji Yuntang really wanted to give them a thumbs-up.

Young people sure have great stamina!

Hua Ruyue continued, "After I found out I was pregnant, we both restrained ourselves for the sake of the baby. During the pregnancy, the number of times we had sex could be counted on one hand."

"But the last time we had sex, I discovered that I was bleeding and had unbearable abdominal pain. I'm worried that it might be lingering issues from childbirth, so I'd like you, Your Highness, to check me out thoroughly."

Ji Yuntang frowned and asked, "Madam Hua, could it be that you're having your period? After all, menstruation can also cause abdominal pain."

Hua Ruyue said, "I'm certain it's not. After having Yue'er, I had lochia for almost ten days. It was only after the midwife confirmed that my body had recovered well that I dared to be intimate with my husband."

Ji Yuntang nodded and began to take Hua Ruyue's pulse carefully.

Hua Ruyue sat quietly off to the side, but her heart was unusually tense; her palms were sweating.

After taking her pulse, Ji Yuntang withdrew her hand and told her.

"Madam Hua, don't worry. It's just an intrauterine infection after childbirth. I'll give you one acupuncture session and prescribe two doses of Chinese herbal medicine. After you take them, you'll be fine."

Hua Ruyue was slightly relieved, then surprised.

"Princess, do I really not have any serious illness?"

She knew that some women after childbirth have persistent lochia, leading to excessive bleeding and death.

So she was afraid of encountering the same situation herself.

Ji Yuntang chuckled lightly and said teasingly, "If we're talking about having an issue, there really is a small one. Madam Hua, you had a C-section, so your body recovers more slowly than other new mothers. You and Assistant Minister Xu were too hasty about being intimate again. You should have waited another month until your body fully recovered before being intimate."

Hua Ruyue's face instantly turned red, and her palms were sweating nervously. She stammered, "I... I thought that's what all couples did, so I..."

Ji Yuntang raised an eyebrow and lowered her head to write a prescription for her.

"I understand what you're saying. In everything, you must prioritize your own body. Too frequent intimacy is not good either, after all, it really wears you out."
