If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

He Hongkui looked solemnly at the two porcelain bottles placed in front of him.

Lu Yuan's words instantly sobered him up.

Stridor?

How come his son has wheezing?

"Father, are you looking for me?" He Xianghuan's small figure appeared outside the bookstore.

He Hongkui called him, "Brother Huan."

His voice was hoarse.

"This is..." He Xianghuan saw the medicine bottle on the table.

"When did you fall ill? Why didn't you tell your father?" He Hongkui asked in a hoarse voice.

He Xianghuan: "Father, my illness is no longer a big deal."

"Why do I need to take medicine if it's nothing?" He Hongkui's eyes were red. "Brother Huan, tell me the truth. When did you get sick?"

"Father, I will cough incessantly whenever I touch mink hair or wear clothes with mink fur. The doctors who examined me all said that I had caught a cold," said He Xianghuan.

It was last year when he was at Dr. Zhou's house and had wheezing caused by willow catkins that he realized that his chest tightness and cough were not caused by a cold.

"Huan'er..." He Hongkui looked at his son. He was not even six years old, but he looked so steady that he didn't look like a child.

"Are you afraid that I will bring your mother home?"

He Xianghuan: "This is not her home."

He Hongkui felt a pain in his heart, "She is your mother, and she also grew up in the Marquis' Mansion. How can this not be her home?"

"Father, mother has her own family now." He Xianghuan said.

"No!" He Hongkui slammed the table excitedly, "Brother Huan, we are a family, we should be together."

He Xianghuan looked at He Hongkui stubbornly with his pair of black and white eyes, "No."

"Brother Huan!" He Hongkui raised his voice.

Seeing his son take a step back, He Hongkui's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.

"My lord, Doctor Liu is here." The voice of the servant came from outside.

He Hongkui put away the two bottles of medicine and said, "Come in."

A middle-aged man appeared with a medicine box and bowed respectfully, "Meet the Marquis."

"Brother Huan has been suffering from chest tightness and coughing recently. Please check on him." He Hongkui said expressionlessly.

Doctor Liu responded and stepped forward to check Huan Ge'er's pulse.

"Brother Huan had a cold and cough a while ago. I have already prescribed medicine for him. Why is he still... Is Brother Huan being naughty again?" Doctor Liu said lovingly.

He Hongkui frowned and said nothing.

"I didn't catch a cold," said He Xianghuan.

Doctor Liu smiled and nodded, saying in a coaxing tone, "Yes, yes, the young master is not suffering from a cold."

Yes, it’s like this every time. Doctor Liu said he had a cold.

But he had never been exposed to the wind or the cold.

How come there are so many colds?

"My Lord, the young master is fine. I'll prescribe some medicine for the cold and he will be fine after taking it." Doctor Liu said.

"Go and invite Imperial Physician Lin over." He Hongkui did not answer, but asked the servant to invite the Imperial Physician who was drinking tea in the tea room.

Doctor Liu's expression changed slightly, "My Lord, what are you doing?"

"Imperial Physician Lin is best at treating children's diseases. Brother Huan always suffers from colds, so I specially invited Imperial Physician Lin to come over." He Hongkui said.

He asked Lu Yuan to invite Imperial Physician Lin for him. He was in charge of the health of the young princes in the palace. He was aloof and would not be easily bribed.

Doctor Liu was stunned. He turned around and saw the servant beside the marquis coming over with an old doctor with a solemn expression.

“……” Doctor Liu’s forehead was covered with sweat.

What's going on? Why did the Marquis invite the imperial physician today?

If it was Imperial Physician Yang, it would be good as he could agree with him.

If he had known that Imperial Physician Lin was there, he would not have said he had a cold.

Could it be that the Marquis has discovered something?

Impossible, impossible.

If the Marquis had found out, he would have kicked him out long ago...

"My lord, your son has a wheezing disease that he had in his mother's womb, but it's not a serious problem. He has recovered very well. It seems that my lord has found a good doctor, so there is no need for me to show off my skills in front of him." Imperial Physician Lin spoke slowly.

Doctor Liu was stunned when he heard this. Could it be that he had accidentally cured Huan Ge'er's wheezing?

"Is it this doctor who treated the young master?" Imperial Physician Lin looked at Doctor Liu with appreciation.

"Oh, it's me..."

"Doctor Liu, didn't you say that Huan Ge had a cold?"

"You've been treating him for colds for so many years, but you didn't diagnose that he has wheezing at all?" He Hongkui's voice was cold.

Doctor Liu hesitated, "My Lord, I... the medicine I prescribed for Huan Ge'er also has a cure for wheezing..."

"I haven't taken the medicine you prescribed for a year," said He Xianghuan.

"How can wheezing be treated with symptoms of cold? You are not qualified to be a doctor." Imperial Physician Lin's face changed and he showed contempt for Doctor Liu.

He Hongkui expressed his gratitude to Imperial Physician Lin and personally saw him off.

When I turned around, I saw Wang walking towards me in a hurry.

"My Lord, I heard that Brother Huan is not feeling well. Have you called a doctor?"

He Hongkui stared at her. The worry on her face did not seem fake at all. Over the years, he saw that she cared about Huan Ge'er and treated him as her own son. He thought she really treated Huan Ge'er as her son.

That's why I left Huan Ge'er to her care.

"I asked Imperial Physician Lin to see Brother Huan." He Hongkui said calmly.

Wang's expression froze for a moment. "What did Imperial Physician Lin say? I'll go see Brother Huan."

"Did you know that Brother Huan has stridor?" He Hongkui asked.

"What?" Wang was stunned. "I don't know."

He Hongkui smiled and said, "That means Doctor Liu's medical skills are not good enough. Let's send Doctor Liu to Jingzhao Prefecture."

Wang's expression changed slightly, "This...isn't it too serious?"

"If Brother Huan hadn't met a good doctor, you would have been treating his wheezing as a cold, and my son's health would have been almost ruined!" He Hongkui said angrily.

"My lord, you...you suspect that I want to harm Huan'er?" Wang asked with red eyes.

He Hongkui looked at her coldly.

"I have already drafted a memorial to the Emperor, asking him to confer the title of Crown Prince on Huan."

Wang's nails dug into her flesh. "My Lord, didn't you say that you would wait until Huan grew up before conferring the title of Crown Prince?"

"No need to wait any longer. I will only have him as my son anyway." He Hongkui said calmly.

"My Lord, what do you mean by this?" Wang could no longer maintain the smile on her face.

She has only given birth to a daughter now, what does he mean by saying there will only be one son?

He Hongkui didn't want to pay attention to her and turned back to his study.

"My lord, has something happened?" Wang hurriedly followed.

"Huan'er, you go back first." He Hongkui said to his son as soon as he entered the study.

Wang saw that He Xianghuan had a rosy complexion and showed no signs of illness. She also saw that Doctor Liu had been forced to kneel on the ground, and her heart began to panic.

Does he know everything?

He Xianghuan bowed to Wang and left the study with two bottles of medicine.

"Doctor Liu, do you have anything to say?" He Hongkui asked.

"My lord, it's... my skills are not good enough. I beg you to have mercy on me." Doctor Liu didn't dare to look at Wang, and knelt down and kowtowed to He Hongkui.
