Chapter 96: Flattery

“Someone! Quickly call the imperial doctor!”

The old maid screamed.

Two maids standing at the door entered the room, one of them took a jade token and hurriedly went to call the imperial doctor.

Su Wan subconsciously entered the Fuxi Hall.

The old maid and the maids were in a flurry, feeding medicine to the old lady. The old lady clenched her teeth, all the medicine flowed from the corner of her mouth into her neck, not a bit could be poured in, making everyone cry in a hurry.

“I’ll do it.”

Su Wan walked over, skillfully pried open the old lady’s teeth, and poured the medicine in mouthful by mouthful. She put down the bowl and took the old lady’s pulse.

The old maid suddenly saw Su Wan, was stunned for a moment, and then burst into tears: “Young lady, you’re finally here. The old lady… the old lady has a relapse, she’s almost gone.”

“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.” Su Wan could tell from the old maid’s tone that she trusted the original owner and regarded the original owner as her master in her heart.

The old maid was at a loss, and her heart settled slightly when she saw Su Wan.

But seeing Su Wan taking the pulse in a professional manner, she was uncertain.

“Young lady, have you been studying medicine all the time?”

The old lady used to go to the national temple for a vegetarian meal every year.

That year, when heavy snow blocked the roads, the old lady fell ill in the mountains and became very thin.

Su Wan was still a delicate little girl, about eight or nine years old. She stayed by the old lady’s side, wiping her tears, and vowed to learn medicine from Master Hui Ren, so that she could treat the old lady in the future and not let the old lady suffer like this.

In the half month at the temple, she ran to Master Hui Ren for half a month.

After coming down the mountain, she collected many medical books, and after a period of enthusiasm, she never saw her reading medical books.

Su Wan was surprised in her heart, did the original owner study medicine?

She remained calm and vaguely said, “Hmm, I’ve been studying.”

The old maid wanted to ask if Su Wan was proficient in medicine?

When it came to her lips, it was a sentence: “How do you see the old lady’s condition?”

Su Wan frowned, the old lady had a fever, the yang evil entered the yin part, caused by the consumption of yin qi, it was a critical illness, the pulse was not good, if it worsened the old lady would not be able to hold on for these two days.

She didn’t answer the old maid’s words, but took out a needle bag, drew out a silver needle to prick the earlobe to bleed and urgently reduce the fever.

Then she undressed and performed acupuncture.

The old maid saw this and exclaimed, “Young lady, what are you doing?”

Su Wan asked, “Does the old lady still continue to have a fever after each sweat, and can’t eat?”

“Yes, yes, it’s this symptom.” The old maid saw that Su Wan’s few words were on point, the big stone hanging in her heart fell, and she carefully asked, “Young lady, can you cure it?”

In her words, there was a bit more trust.

She didn’t doubt Su Wan’s medical skills, she just thought that she had been studying privately for these years, but she didn’t know how much she understood.

After Su Wan finished the acupuncture, she lifted her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and looked at the old lady on the bed. Her hair was frosty white like snow, her face was wax yellow and green, her bones were thin, and she couldn’t overlap with the memory of the old lady who was strong and spirited.

She felt a sourness in her heart for no reason, and her fingers took the old lady’s pulse.

This time the pulse was slow and calm, this was a phenomenon of no longer worsening or improving, she could be saved!

Su Wan smiled with relief, comforting the old maid, “The old lady will be fine.”

“Really?” The old maid couldn’t believe it, seeing the old lady’s pale lips recover a little bit of color, she touched her forehead, it was still a bit hot, but not as hot as before.

She slightly relaxed her heart, worriedly said, “Young lady, since the old lady returned to the mansion and fell ill, it has not been very good. The imperial doctor prescribed a lot of medicine, but it didn’t work after taking it.”

Su Wan understood the old maid’s worries, the imperial medical institute were all highly skilled people, they all couldn’t cure it, she was just a little girl, after all, people were not at ease.

“I will first write a prescription, when the imperial doctor comes later, let him take a look, make sure there is no problem, then give it to the old lady to eat?”

Su Wan’s words completely dispelled the old maid’s worries, her face full of wrinkles, slowly smiled, “Young lady, the old lady’s body can’t be tossed anymore, it’s better to be cautious about what she eats.”

She paused, and added another sentence, “The old lady takes the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, I’m afraid that the two will clash, it’s more reassuring for the imperial doctor to take a look.”

Su Wan just smiled without saying a word, wrote the prescription and handed it to the old maid.

The old maid’s face was embarrassed, and she held the prescription in her hand.

When the hour arrived, Su Wan pulled out the silver needle.

At this time, the maid brought the imperial doctor, and urgently said, “Please take a look at the old lady quickly.”

When Doctor Liu saw Su Wan, he immediately thought of the rumors outside, quickly collected his thoughts, settled his mind, and took the old lady’s pulse with a serious face.

He opened his eyes in surprise, “What’s going on? The pulse is actually improving! When I took the pulse a few days ago, it was clearly deteriorating!”

The more Doctor Liu spoke, the more excited he became, “Did you invite other doctors to treat her? Or did she take the medicine according to the previous prescription?”

The old maid hurriedly handed over the prescription in her hand, “Please take a look.”

Doctor Liu took a look at the prescription, “This prescription is almost the same as the one I prescribed before…”

Su Wan took over the conversation, “For fever, it is important to treat the disease after recovery, when there are still residual evils and hidden dangers. According to the patient’s constitution, the most important thing is to nourish the essence and blood.”

“Medicines such as Ophiopogon japonicus, raw land, danpi, and northern sand ginseng can be used to nourish yin and clear heat, and then nourish the spleen and stomach, eat light, and easily digestible food.”

Doctor Liu pondered in his heart, and suddenly realized that the old lady was not getting better, it turned out that there was no follow-up treatment.

“So that’s it, so that’s it.” Doctor Liu suddenly reacted, his eyes were amazed, “You understand medicine?”

“I know a little bit.” Su Wan was very modest.

But Doctor Liu didn’t believe it, Su Wan could understand the key points, her medical skills must be very exquisite.

His eyes suddenly became eager, wishing he could immediately ask her for advice, but the current situation did not allow it, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, “I will have a rest in two days, can I come to discuss with you then?”

Su Wan agreed, “Okay.”

Doctor Liu was satisfied, his face was full of red light, and he left.

The old maid was dumbfounded, was the young lady’s medical skills so brilliant?

Doctor Liu even wanted to learn from her!!

She looked at Su Wan incredulously, and said a little embarrassedly, “Young lady, this old servant has never seen you study medicine, so…” She had doubts and distrust.

“You did the right thing, everything is for the sake of the old lady’s body.” Su Wan didn’t mind, after all, the original owner had never practiced medicine.

Fortunately, she(the original owner) had studied it before, otherwise she would have to make up a story about why she suddenly knew medicine.

The old maid breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly thought of something, and hesitated, “The master hasn’t woken up yet, everyone is helpless with his poison, do you want to treat the master?”
