The disgraced official I took care of was actually Zhu Houcong's childhood friend.

Chapter 610

About an hour after Xia Yan took the medicine, he suddenly felt a burning sensation in his lower abdomen, and the feeling of rising Yang was very strong.

Xia Yan was in his forties. Although he was still reasonably capable in that area, he hadn't had such a strong feeling for many years. This reminded Xia Yan of his early twenties. He wouldn't say he was partying every night, but the feeling was not much different from now.

Xia Yan was secretly delighted. Could it be that the person Zhou Hengqi sent really had some skills?

Thinking of the medicinal herbs on the prescription, and the fact that Xia Yan had specifically asked the steward after Huang Jin left, the steward had said that the pharmacy owner had said that there was nothing wrong with the prescription and that it was a tonic.

This put Xia Yan at ease. At this moment, Xia Yan's yang energy was rising stronger and stronger. His cerebellum controlled his brain, and he could no longer think about so much. He went straight to his concubine's courtyard.

Back then, Xia Yan spent about an hour going back and forth. He had never felt so vigorous. Looking at his concubine lying next to him with a satisfied expression, Xia Yan felt a sense of satisfaction he had never experienced before.

He had never experienced this feeling, not even when he was young. At most, it would only last for a moment or two, nothing compared to what he felt now.

"A miracle doctor."

Xia Yan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

After leaving the concubine's room, Xia Yan stretched his body and found that apart from his legs being a little weak from all the exertion, he had no other discomfort, which made him feel even more at ease.

"Could it be that we've misunderstood Zhou Hengqi?"

Xia Yan thought to himself.

"Go and call that doctor surnamed Zhang over."

Xia Yan was still not entirely at ease, so she decided to call a doctor she knew to give her a proper check-up.

Speaking of this doctor surnamed Zhang, he used to treat Xia Yan frequently at the Xia residence. However, this doctor himself wasn't very skilled. In fact, not only him, but most of the doctors in the Ming Dynasty were influenced by the Wenbing School, and there were many quacks.

Everyone adheres to the principle that, regardless of whether someone is sick or not, it's always right to prescribe more tonifying medicines. As for whether the illness can be cured, that's up to fate. If it can't be cured, it's not my fault. All the prescriptions I prescribe are tonifying.

Xia Yan's health had always been good, and this doctor surnamed Zhang had also been doing quite well, consistently prescribing nourishing formulas for Xia Yan. Other members of the Xia family would also take these formulas; if they were healthy, these formulas could indeed help regulate their bodies quite well.

But as for how capable this person is, he doesn't really have any; he doesn't even know the basics of the Six Classics of Differentiation.

To put it bluntly, it's about making a living in the homes of various high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital. People like Xia Yan, who have a need to regulate their bodies, have created a market for such people.

"I've met my lord."

Zhang Langzhong approached Xia Yan and bowed respectfully.

"Could you take my pulse and see if there's anything wrong with my body?"

Xia Yan looked at the doctor in front of him and said.

When Zhang Langzhong heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He wondered if the prescription he had given the man had caused the problem.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lang felt a little uneasy. However, he had been a doctor for more than a year or two. His prescriptions might cause problems, but there was nothing wrong with them. They were all mild tonics. What could be wrong with them?

With that thought in mind, he calmed himself down, sat down next to Xia Yan, and began to take her pulse.

"Your pulse is somewhat weak and shallow, indicating a slight imbalance of yang and yin. Have you been engaging in sexual activity more frequently these past two days?"

While observing Xia Yan's expression, Zhang Langzhong spoke cautiously.

Although he was just trying to make a living, Zhang Langzhong was still quite skilled; at the very least, he could diagnose many problems by taking a pulse.

Xia Yan nodded upon hearing this.

"Your medical skills are indeed excellent. Is there something wrong with my health?"

Xia Yan looked at Doctor Zhang and asked.

"There's nothing too serious, it's just that you've been quite exhausted. Just make sure you eat something nourishing these next few days."
