There was no emotion in Hua Yuan's eyes. He was so cold that it made one's heart tremble. His aura made even the old physician, who was used to seeing life and death, tremble.
He was an ordinary physician. He had spent his entire life practicing medicine and saving lives. No matter who his patients were or what status they had, he treated them all the same. Even though his medical skills were not low among his peers, the old physician felt that he was still far from being the leading doctor of his dreams.
In order to live up to the promise he had made when he first entered the profession, he had never let his guard down for decades.
He had never expected that the clean reputation he had maintained for most of his life would be destroyed by his own hands.
This young man before him had threatened him with the lives of his entire family and even his relatives. The old physician had no choice but to comply.
He had struggled at first. He and Hua Yuan had lied to An Cui and misdiagnosed others. Wasn't this going against his medical ethics?
However, the old physician knew the consequences of going against Hua Yuan.
He could clearly see that Hua Yuan was definitely not a person who cared about human lives. Killing people was as normal as eating and drinking to him. The old physician had experienced a mental torture. In the end, he had given up on his integrity and helped Hua Yuan commit evil deeds …
He only hoped that after Hua Yuan achieved his goal, the other would be merciful, or find some conscience and spare the old physician's family.
Even though the old physician was old, he wasn't blind. He knew one thing — the more one knew, the earlier one would die.
If the old physician knew Hua Yuan's secret, would the latter let him live?
Clearly, this was impossible. The old physician knew that he would die after this.
"Do you have a secret formula for aiding pregnancy?"
Hua Yuan leaned against the medicine cabinet and watched the old physician write down the formula. He suddenly asked, scaring the old physician so much that his hands trembled.
"Aiding pregnancy … this …" the old physician said awkwardly. "Duke Duoxi's body looks no different from an ordinary man's, and he can even sleep with women. However, his seed is dead. No matter how fertile the soil is, a dead seed can't germinate."
Even though the old physician had many accomplishments in this field and had cured many men with fertility problems in the past, he really could not do anything about An Cui's situation. Even if he had a secret formula for aiding pregnancy, An Cui could not impregnate a woman. This would be making things difficult for the old man.
Hua Yuan pinched a piece of dry grass to his lips and smiled indifferently. "I know that Duke Duoxi's body is no different from a natural eunuch. I don't need you to remind me."
A man who couldn't get a woman pregnant, even if he became a feudal lord, would still be an eunuch.
Hua Yuan had always been certain that he was "Liu Xi". How could he let a crippled man order him around?
He also wanted this world.
Thus, An Cui was an obstacle in Hua Yuan's eyes, a stumbling block that he had to get rid of.
The old doctor asked awkwardly, "If that's the case, why do you need to use a secret formula to aid in pregnancy?"
Half of Hua Yuan's body was leaning against the medicine cabinet. His slightly loose Confucian robe made him look extremely flirtatious. There was a hint of a smile in his eyes and he looked a little cynical. However, behind this "flirtatious" was a poison that could seal one's throat at the sight of blood … The old physician secretly sighed and thought that it was a pity.
"Didn't you diagnose Duke Duoxi and say that he has a small chance of impregnating a woman after a month of recuperation?"
Hua Yuan sneered and countered with a question. On the contrary, the old physician was rendered speechless.
What a lot of information!
An Cui couldn't possibly impregnate a woman. If Hua Yuan's secret formula to aid in pregnancy made An Cui's woman pregnant … From this, it could be deduced that the child in her belly would definitely belong to Old Wang next door. An Cui was going to be cuckolded … The old physician secretly clicked his tongue. As a physician, he was used to seeing birth, aging, sickness, death, and disputes. Some of the fights and tricks of the rich were even more complicated and bizarre than what was described in the novels of the common folk.
Art came from life and was above life. That was roughly what it meant.
Was Hua Yuan trying to make An Cui a cuckold and have his own bloodline replace An Cui's position as the heir?
For a moment, all kinds of melodramatic plots came one after another. The old physician could only sigh inwardly — the rich and powerful really knew how to play. How could an ordinary person think of such a dirty trick? Not only did he want to make someone die without an heir, he also wanted to eat him until he died with regrets.
"Just tell me directly. Yes or no?" Hua Yuan sneered. "The faster and stronger the effects, the better."
The old physician said anxiously, "Bearing children is a natural Heavenly Dao. It has a lot to do with the physical condition of both the man and the woman. It's like the soil in spring plowing and a seed full of vitality. Only when the two meet will they bear a rich fruit. If the seed is weak and the soil is fertile, the fetus will most likely die in the womb. If the seed is strong and the soil is barren, even if the child can be born successfully, the child will be born with a congenital deficiency. If someone interferes with natural reproduction, even if the child is successful, the child that is born will most likely be … "
He rambled on for a while, but Hua Yuan only responded with nine words.
"Just tell me directly. Yes or no?"
"Yes," the old physician said in a low voice. "But that prescription is too strong. If the woman takes it, it will definitely harm her body."
"That's good. Remember to make a copy for me."
Hua Yuan took the prescription from the old physician's hands and had him make a few more doses of medicine.
Because Hua Yuan had given An Cui hope of regaining his bloodline, the latter valued the former even more. It wasn't that he didn't suspect it, but the information that came back from his private investigations said that the old physician had great achievements in the field of male reproductive diseases. His medical skills were far superior to others.
An Cui took the medicine prescribed by the old physician without worry. After a period of time, he felt even more energetic and energetic. Hua Yuan also gave him a secret prescription to help women conceive. This secret prescription was harmless to the fetus, but it would drain the mother's essence in exchange for the most suitable environment for Lin 'er's birth. An Cui was overjoyed, but he was not too satisfied with Hua Yuan's plan to give these medicines to the Xichang Imperial Concubine.
"How can a mere Imperial Concubine of a fallen nation be qualified to bear my child?"
An Cui placed great importance on bloodline. The Xichang Imperial Concubine was beautiful and literate. She had good qualities, but her background was not good.
Even if An Cui was obsessed with his child, he did not want his future child to have such a lowly mother.
"She's just using her to test the doctor's prescription. If the effects of the prescription are real, it's not too late for the Lord to choose a mistress with a noble bloodline for the Young Master. The son is valued by his mother. The position of the Young Master will definitely belong to the future Young Master. "
Every word he said and every action he did made An Cui feel extremely comfortable.
Even though Hua Yuan was the West Master who had adopted his son, Hua Yuan still valued him, the Lord, and the future Young Master. This was good!
