Carrying a Lucky Charm, I Thrive with My Husband on the Road to Exile

Having said he would find a doctor to see the illness, Kai Yuan of course ran straight to the famous medical clinic in the Capital City.

Bai Suihe’s pulse naturally had no issues, and the doctor examining the pulse looked at their couple with a strange gaze.

Who comes to see a doctor for no reason when perfectly healthy; this seemed like they were making fun of them.

Kai Yuan had a thick skin, "It’s just that the family worries, checking it out gives us peace of mind."

"Doctor, my wife is fine, but could you please prescribe some fetus-preserving medicine."

Doctor, "..." Do you hear yourself? Nothing’s wrong, yet you’re asking for medicine?

"Sir, how about I take your pulse as well?" The doctor said softly, coaxing in a low voice.

Bai Suihe looked at Kai Yuan, they all said ancient Chinese medicine was brilliant with its observation, listening, questioning, and pulse; could it be that he discovered something?

"Husband, are you feeling unwell anywhere? We must not ignore illnesses out of fear."

Kai Yuan didn’t find the words offensive, since the doctor opened his mouth, he might as well ask for a peace of mind check, "I’m quite robust, it’s you who wanted to check, we shouldn’t be charged the consultation fee."

Since they were already there, they might as well seek peace of mind, and not let his wife worry.

The doctor originally thought he could record another difficult case in his medical history this time.

But gradually, his brow furrowed more and more, and Bai Suihe started to feel a bit anxious; could it be he really found an illness?

Kai Yuan, "... Doctor, whatever you have to say, just say it."

"Young man, your body is strong enough to take down a tiger; are you here to poke fun at my clinic?" The doctor’s face darkened, having felt two healthy pulses in a row, this was ruining his business.

Yet Kai Yuan was grinning, thinking of his past life, he had a body full of chronic diseases before his death, but now it went back to a healthy state, "Taking down a tiger might be a stretch, but perhaps a wild boar could do. However, I often travel, and there might be a need, so doctor, please prescribe some injury medicine, just in case."

The doctor started feeling withdrawn today, questioning if there was something wrong with his hearing.

Two fit individuals came for a pulse check and yet also asked for medicine?

If word got out, would his reputation even remain?

"Shoo shoo, go play at the shop across the street," the doctor stood up impatiently, waving them away, "The doctors over there would love for you to buy out their whole shop; you are not welcome here."

Bai Suihe, "Doctor, you misunderstood, as my husband and I will be traveling soon, we just wish to have some medical herbs around just in case."

Bai Suihe held a bit of respect for this doctor, saying he had quite a medical-ethical standard, "My husband’s body really has no issues?"

"Your wife is quite interesting, hoping your husband is not well?" The doctor sat back down to write a prescription, "You could’ve just said it outright; however, dear lady, with your protruding belly, you should avoid long journeys. Even though you seem robust now, the bumps and jolts of a journey are not something you can withstand."

This couple wishing to get fetus-preserving medicine,

showed a lack of grounding, and yet were so headstrong, it was as if they didn’t care about the child, leading to the doctor’s tone turning harsh.

Bai Suihe cast a glance at Kai Yuan, if there was truly a choice, who would choose to travel?

Compared to exile, they’d rather be trapped in that small courtyard.

"Sorry to trouble you doctor," Kai Yuan said, somewhat dejected, "It really can’t be avoided, if you could also prescribe some cold medicine, we’d be grateful."

The doctor’s hand paused, looking up at Kai Yuan, "It seems you are heading to a very distant place, allow me to be blunt, medical herbs are just an aid, going out safety should be a priority."

Kai Yuan thanked him profusely, then took the prescription to the counter, asking the attendant to prepare ten doses of each.

The attendant didn’t dare move until he got a nod from the doctor before getting started.

So many prescriptions each prepared ten doses, and kindly noted them down.

Kai Yuan happily paid Silver, placed the goods onto the carriage, then turned and headed straight to the pharmacy across the street.

Doctor, "..."

Attendant, "..."

Bai Suihe, "..."

"It’s his first time going such a long distance, he’s a bit nervous." Bai Suihe stated this and hurriedly left with her attendant.

☆

Leaving the small courtyard Kai Yuan purchased, the two of them returned to the carriage, also leaving two attendants at the courtyard, "Was it necessary to buy so much medicine?"

"Told you it’s to be prepared," Kai Yuan took out two aged ginseng roots from his pocket, "You should keep these too."

"When did you buy them?" At this time fresh ginseng wasn’t cultivated, its distinct aroma filled the air.

"While packing the medicines, I went back to the doctor again and persuaded him to let me have these two roots." Kai Yuan looked back at the first pharmacy, a slight smile curling his lips.

He didn’t want to buy more medicine from the first place because he knew they wouldn’t sell too much to him.

Their herbs were of good quality and affordable, many ordinary folks preferred going there for treatment, and today the doctor agreeing to prepare ten doses of each was his maximum limit.

Later when he bought ginseng, the doctor earnestly patted his shoulder and advised, if the road was tough, find a way to not make the pregnant woman suffer.

In a place where everyone in the Capital City is shrewd, he could already see a hint of the situation.

"We are not going back just yet, are we?" Bai Suihe looked at the street outside, suddenly reluctant to return.

"Not today," Kai Yuan sensed her reluctance, yet hardened his heart to say, "Today we went out for consultation, we must put on the pretense, with days still ahead, there’s no need to haggle over this with them."

Having fainted yesterday, yet able to wander all day today, everyone knew there was some pretense.

Whether in the mansion or during the subsequent exile, there’s a lot of time to spend together; Kai Yuan didn’t want this matter to be used as fodder for his mother and sister-in-law to attack Bai Suihe.

Bai Suihe, "Let’s go back then, and let’s stew some of the previous fetus-preserving medicine for a day."

Kai Yuan, "In a couple more days, you can go out again, but then it will be busy."

"Are you certain this won’t affect your health?" Kai Yuan wanted another confirmation, having regained his wife and daughter, he didn’t want any surprises.

Bai Suihe, "There should be no problem, I just took in those herbs, everything is normal."

Kai Yuan, "If you feel unwell, make sure to tell me, if it doesn’t work, I’ll have other solutions."

Bai Suihe nodded, knowing full well not to be too prideful, "I will be careful.

I just came across a noodle shop, and pastries, let’s find a way to stock some up at that time."

During exile, wanting a warm bite needed advance preparation.

"If possible, stock some vegetables too," though there were already some in the space, anyone would prefer to eat what was ready rather than cooking.
