My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

When Cui Yang opened the medicine Pei Zhengqing had given him, he smelled a refreshing and pleasant fragrance.

He couldn't quite place the scent, but it inexplicably made him feel comfortable all over.

At that moment, a feeling arose in his heart.

This medicine is most likely fine.

I'm afraid it's not only without any problems, but also a rare gem that's hard to find in a thousand years.

Without hesitation, he took one pill to test it.

After taking the medicine, he felt its difference more and more. He immediately felt much lighter after taking it.

He had never felt this way before.

It should be noted that the Cui family was quite wealthy, and because his wife had been ill for a long time, they employed many doctors.

Besides treating his wife, the doctor was also responsible for taking the pulses of everyone in the household. As the head of the Cui family, if he felt even slightly unwell, his subordinates would become extremely anxious and immediately call the doctor over to examine him.

He has to manage a large family, and he's busy every day. Plus, he's getting old now, so he inevitably has aches and pains all over his body.

The medicine prescribed by the doctor in the manor can only provide slight relief.

But there has never been any medicine that had such an immediate effect after he took it.

He sat motionless, quietly sensing the changes in his body.

Upon seeing this, the butler was so nervous that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

"Master, are you alright?" he asked, while gesturing to the doctors waiting outside the door, telling them to come in quickly and examine the master.

Several physicians from the prefecture rushed in, extremely nervous.

At this moment, Cui Yang burst into laughter and said, "What a wonderful medicine! This is the first time in my life I have ever seen such a miraculous medicine."

The steward and the physician were both startled and stopped what they were doing, staring at Cui Yang in shock.

This was the first time they had ever seen him laugh so heartily.

The steward suspected that there was something wrong with the medicine the master was taking, which caused the master's personality to change drastically and become increasingly anxious.

Cui Yang raised his hand and said, "I'm fine. The medicine was just too effective, and I couldn't help but laugh out loud!"

Not only was he alright, he felt better than ever before.

If the medicine had such a miraculous effect on him, one can only imagine the extraordinary effects it would have on his wife. Overjoyed, he ordered everyone, "I don't need you here; you may all leave!"

His words surprised everyone. What kind of medicine was it that could produce such a strong effect so quickly after being taken?

Several doctors frowned, becoming increasingly skeptical of the medicine.

Generally speaking, even if a medicine is truly effective, it is impossible for it to take effect in such a short period of time.

Doctor Yu disobeyed the order and immediately retreated with his medicine box. Instead, he said, "Sir, may I take your pulse?"

He was a senior member of the household, and although he was unable to cure Lady Lu's illness, he had earned Cui Yang's deep trust.

He didn't refuse and extended his wrist to him.

When Doctor Yu first took Cui Yang's pulse, he remained calm, but gradually, disbelief appeared in his eyes.

I removed my hand several times to take his pulse again.

The butler, seeing this, immediately became very nervous.

Cui Yang frowned slightly and asked, "What's going on?"

Doctor Yu wiped the fine sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and said, "In all my years of practicing medicine, I have never seen such a strange sight. Sir, your pulse seems to be constantly changing. It's getting better, it's getting better and better."

He was so shocked and excited that he spoke incoherently.

But everyone still understood what he meant.

The other doctors who hadn't yet left all thought what he said was utterly absurd.

How could such a thing possibly happen in this world?

What does it mean for the pulse to get better and better?

Several people suggested that they help examine Cui Yang's pulse. Cui Yang also wanted to know if it was as exaggerated as Doctor Yu had said.

Did the medicine given to him by the Great Qi Man truly have the effect of improving his pulse?

He gestured for several doctors to take turns examining her pulse, but to his surprise, the other doctors, like Doctor Yu, all showed expressions of shock.

The answer given was almost identical to that of Doctor Yu; they all said that Cui Yang's pulse was becoming increasingly strong. Just looking at his pulse, one might doubt that he was a young man.

It is said that if he could take this medicine regularly, he might even live a long and healthy life.

Upon hearing this, Cui Yang was overwhelmed with excitement. Without telling the doctors to leave, he led the group directly to the backyard, to Madam Lu's room.

Due to a long-term serious illness, Ms. Lu is now bedridden. She has become extremely thin, and her mental state is deteriorating.

When Cui Yang arrived, Madam Lu was fast asleep.

Her breathing was shallow, and from a distance, she looked like a corpse.

Cui Yang felt a sudden panic. He bent down and took Lu Shi's hand. When he felt the cool temperature of her hand, his panic subsided slightly.

Perhaps sensing Cui Yang's movements, Madam Lu slowly woke up.

Upon seeing Cui Yang, she gave him an apologetic and weak smile, "My health has been a burden to you!"

"I've told you so many times, don't say things like that anymore. I'm a grown man, I'm not going to be dragged down by you."

As Cui Yang spoke, he personally helped her sit up, took out a porcelain bottle and said, "I found some medicine for you. This medicine is very different. Try it."

Lady Lu had heard similar things countless times, and had long since given up hope.

However, unable to bear seeing her husband so sad, and though she had no hope, she still showed a weak expression to Cui Yang and took the pills that Cui Yang offered.

After Lu took the medicine, Cui Yang stared at her nervously.

This situation made me even more nervous than if I had taken the medication myself.

After a moment, Madam Lu looked somewhat incredulous and said, "I feel... a little easier to breathe."

Upon hearing this, Cui Yang was overjoyed and hurriedly called to several doctors, "Quickly, come and examine the lady's pulse."

Doctor Yu was the first to step forward and take Madam Lu's pulse. He concentrated on the diagnosis for a long time before finally confirming, "Sir, Madam can be saved. Madam's pulse is not as weak as before."

Cui Yang couldn't hide his excitement.

The doctors in the manor were all very excited.

This is practically a life-saving medicine! It's not just about saving Madam Cui.

Cui Yang had also thought of this problem.

But such a good medicine is in someone else's hands. It's like living at someone else's mercy; how could he be willing to do that?

He showed the remaining pill to the physician in the manor, asking, "Can you tell what ingredients are used in it?"

The doctors were thrilled to learn that they could observe the medicine up close.

This is practically a medicine that can bring the dead back to life.

However, their excitement quickly turned into shame and dejection.

The group studied the medicine for a long time, and finally Doctor Yu stepped forward and apologized, saying, "Sir, we are truly ashamed. We cannot tell how many kinds of medicinal herbs are used in this pill. We can only barely tell that it contains ginseng."

Cui Yang wasn't disappointed.

In fact, he had anticipated this outcome long before he had the others try to identify the pills.

After all, if this pill were so easy to identify, the people of Daqi wouldn't have given it to him so easily.

Since they entrusted the medicine to them so confidently, they must have been certain that no one could discern what ingredients were used in the pills or how the medicine was made.

He said, "It's alright, it's not your fault, it's just that their medicine is too exquisite."

"I heard that this medicine was bestowed by their emperor. It is said that the emperor is an immortal. Could this medicine really be a divine medicine?" one of the doctors whispered.

Cui Yang's eyes showed a hint of contemplation.

He had heard many rumors about the Empress of Daqi being a deity. However, he hadn't really believed them before. But now, he was starting to think about it more.

He glanced at his wife's face and saw that she was unusually energetic, listening to their conversation.

On any other day, she would have been too exhausted to continue and would have fallen into a deep sleep.

Feeling the completely different sensation in his body compared to usual, he asked, "Do you think this medicine is a miraculous elixir?"

Doctor Yu cautiously replied, "This... I'm not sure either, but this medicine certainly looks extraordinary. I'm afraid it's no different from a celestial medicine, even if it's not one."

The remaining doctors all echoed this sentiment.

Cui Yang pondered for a moment and then dismissed the doctors.

After the doctor left, only Cui Yang and Madam Lu remained in the room.

Cui Yang carefully inquired about Lu Shi's feelings. Lu Shi smiled gently at him and said, "I feel much more relaxed. These are the most relaxed days I've had since I was sick. Husband, thank you for your concern."

Hearing that she seemed much more relaxed than before, Cui Yang felt extremely relieved. "I'm willing to do anything to help Madam get better."

Madam Lu, however, was somewhat worried. "You've already incurred the wrath of many in the clan for my sake. This medicine is so precious; obtaining it will surely require a great deal, won't it? I wonder what conditions they've offered... You absolutely mustn't cause further resentment among the Cui family elders for my sake..."

Thinking of those old guys from the Cui family, Cui Yang's expression turned cold.

However, when speaking to his wife, he quickly regained his gentle and kind demeanor, saying, "You don't need to pay attention to those people. I am the head of the Cui family, and I'm not so incapable of making decisions. Just focus on getting better. As long as you recover quickly, that's more important than anything else."

Knowing she couldn't persuade him, Madam Lu smiled helplessly and stopped trying.

Cui Yang talked with Madam Lu for a while, helped her to sleep, and then called over the nanny who usually served Madam Lu. He gave the nanny the remaining pill for safekeeping, and told Madam Lu to take the other pill when she woke up.

After making the arrangements, he went to his study and asked the butler to arrange a meeting with Pei Zhengqing.

He thought about it for a moment and realized that although Pei Zhengqing's suggestion was risky, he had to admit that Pei Zhengqing made some sense.

This is indeed an opportunity for the Cui family.

Moreover, the medicine has such miraculous effects. If it can cure my beloved wife's illness, I would be willing to take a risk.

Soon, under the butler's arrangement, Cui Yang and Pei Zhengqing had their second meeting.

Upon seeing Cui Yang, Pei Zhengqing bowed respectfully and, after exchanging pleasantries, asked, "Has Master Cui had his wife try the medicine given by His Majesty? Has it been very effective?"
