Chapter 288 288 Seeking Medical Treatment (Second Update)
Of course, these words were said to Chu Qianchen, and Shen Wan's eyes were full of expectation.
Underneath the anticipation, there was still a hint of panic, as if she had put all her hopes on Chu Qianchen, with a desperate desperation.
Mrs. Mu Guogong was stunned, and then looked at Chu Qianchen.
There was silence in the room, and another subtle change occurred in the atmosphere.
Shen Wan was still looking at Chu Qianchen without blinking. She was asking, but the moment she saw Chu Qianchen coming in with Shen, the suspicion in her heart rose from 50% to 70%.
In fact, Shen Wan had vaguely made this guess before, and was about 50 to 60% sure.
Because of the sachet that Chu Qianchen gave to Gu Zhiyan;
Because Shen was so angry and seriously ill that he suddenly recovered;
Because Gu Zhiyan went to stay in the Hou Mansion before Chu Qianchen got married, and after returning, his symptoms were obviously relieved;
Because Gu Zhiyan's attitude towards Chu Qianchen and the miracle doctor is generally the same...
It was also because there were actually many similarities between Chu Qianchen and the miracle doctor.
Shen Wan has had many contacts with Chu Qianchen and the miracle doctor, and has long noticed many small details. It is not difficult for her to ask for confirmation. However, she has never asked Shen and Chu Qianchen for confirmation before.
My family knows their own affairs, and there are many people in Jingjun Prince's palace with mixed opinions, and people's hearts are not unified.
Moreover, Prince Jing's third brother, concubine, and concubine were all waiting and looking forward to catching him for the title, and so many pairs of eyes were staring at their room.
She knew that with the situation in the Prince's Palace, many secrets could not be hidden.
If Chu Qianchen is really the miracle doctor of Jishi Hall, then she should have concerns about hiding this matter.
Once this secret is leaked, there will definitely be unnecessary trouble, so the eldest sister will not mention it at all.
Shen Wan knew that both Shen and Chu Qianchen cared about Gu Zhiyan, and had given her many tactful reminders. In June, they even took Gu Zhiyan to live in the Hou Mansion.
Shen Wan could see what they did for Gu Zhiyan and remembered it in his heart.
Because of this, if Shen didn't say anything, Shen Wan tacitly agreed not to ask.
The sisters have been close to each other since they were children, and they have always had a tacit understanding.
In August this year, Shen Wan also went over to ask Shen's thoughts. At that time, Gu Zhiyan was stimulated by the hibiscus and became ill again, and the condition began to recur.
But then something happened again in the Prince's Mansion, which made Shen Wan anxious. Coupled with the emperor's punishment of Prince Jing, she could only give up the idea temporarily until today.
Thinking of what happened in the past few months, Shen Wan almost suffocated, her heart felt like a mountain was pressing on her, and the confrontation between her and Chu Qianhuang yesterday flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern.
Now, she had no other way to go, so she took her daughter back to her parents' home. Just now she asked Mrs. Mu Guogong to send someone to invite Mrs. Shen, just to ask about the miracle doctor.
"Yes." Chu Qianchen nodded in agreement without any hesitation.
Her eyes were bright and her expression was calm. She was neither embarrassed by having her secret revealed nor arrogant about her talent. Her demeanor was calm and generous.
Shen Wan almost asked "really", but finally held back, pursed her lips tightly, and her eyes were sore.
In fact, when she asked this question just now, she felt uneasy.
Although she had already made this guess and felt that she was about 50% sure, sometimes she occasionally felt that she was overthinking it.
Chu Qianchen's life trajectory in the past fourteen years is clear at a glance. She was raised as a concubine in the Yongding Marquis Mansion. Her every move was under the eyes of others. Where did she get the opportunity to achieve this life like Hua Tuo's reincarnation? Medical skills.
On the way from the Prince's Mansion to the Duke's Mansion, Shen Wan was in a state of panic and fear.
Shen Wan was afraid that she was in a daze because of her daughter's illness. She was afraid that the face covered by Fang Qingsha was not who she thought she was...
At this moment, seeing Chu Qianchen admit it, Shen Wan let out a long sigh of relief, just like a traveler who has been walking in the dark night for a long time. He has encountered many difficulties and obstacles on the journey and has long been exhausted, but he is still struggling to hold on. With.
Until this moment, she finally saw a glimmer of hope in the endless darkness.
"..." Shen Wan wanted to say something, but she felt that her voice was tight and astringent, and her throat seemed to be burning.
After just a few words, Mrs. Mu Guogong next to her felt as if she had knocked over a five-flavor bottle and had tasted all kinds of flavors.
A long time ago, the eldest daughter told her that Chu Qianchen saved Chu Yunmu's life. At that time, Mrs. Mu Guogong only thought that Chu Qianchen was a fluke.
Later, Shen Zhi became seriously ill and was sentenced to death by famous doctors in the capital. When the old couple almost thought they were going to give away the white-haired person to the black-haired person, it turned out that Chu Qianchen pulled Shen back from the gate of hell.
From that time on, both Mrs. Mu Guogong and Mu Guogong also suspected that Chu Qianchen was the miracle doctor from Jishi Hall.
After all, a young female doctor of this age is really one in a million, no, it should be said, one in a hundred years.
However, Mrs. Mu Guogong also tacitly did not ask, just pretending that she did not know, and they knew it anyway.
She had lived for most of her life, and was used to the world earlier than Shen Wan. After a burst of agitated emotions, she quickly calmed down, and she only had admiration in her heart: This granddaughter of hers is indeed one of the best among people, with amazing talent. Gorgeous!
"Aunt," Chu Qianchen looked at Shen Wan intently. She could roughly guess what was going on. She took the initiative to ask before Shen Wan could speak, "I just heard from Aunt Han that Qiniang has a fever again." How is she now?"
When they were in the hunting palace, Chu Qianchen knew that Gu Zhiyan had a fever, but the fever went away later. In addition, Judge Zheng personally visited Gu Zhiyan, and Chu Qianchen also read the pulse report. Since Gu Zhiyan was safe and sound, Chu Qianchen didn't take it to heart anymore.
However, Gu Zhiyan had just returned to Beijing yesterday and she had a fever again, and most likely she was very ill.
Otherwise, Shen Wan, who was full of scruples, would not have brought Gu Zhiyan to Duke Mu's mansion alone, nor would he have rashly asked himself if he was the miracle doctor of Jishi Hall.
Chu Qianchen's pupils, like autumn water, flickered slightly.
Shen Wan calmed down and said urgently: "Qiniang had a fever on her way back to Beijing the day before yesterday. On the way, she went to a nearby town and asked a doctor who was good at pediatrics to prescribe a prescription to reduce fever. …That’s it.”
Shen Wan took out a recipe that had been prepared long ago from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Chu Qianchen with her own hands.
"After Qiniang took the decoction made from this recipe, her fever still didn't go down. She had a fever that lasted all night. When she returned to the capital yesterday, her fever became even worse."
"Later, she started to have nightmares, babbled, vomited, her limbs even twitched non-stop, and her eyes rolled up..."
Thinking of the frequent dangers yesterday, Shen Wan's eyes became redder and redder, and her voice became hoarse. She choked up as she spoke.
She finally couldn't suppress the sorrow and heartache in her heart, and cried again in front of her mother and eldest sister.
During these days, she had been very scared, afraid that she would lose her Qiniang.
She proposed to divorce her husband last night, and it was not impulsive. She had had this idea for a long time, but she had been unable to make a decision.
She didn't want to have to choose between her husband and her daughter, but that was all she could do.
As long as she can save her Qiniang, she will give anything.
As Shen Wan cried, her body couldn't help but tremble.
Mrs. Shen took two steps forward, walked to Shen Wan, and hugged her sister tenderly, trying to give her strength.
Chu Qianchen looked at the prescription, raised his head and said, "This prescription has no merits and no faults. It is a prescription commonly used in children with fever."
"Aunt, take me to see Qiniang."
Shen Wan wiped her tears with a handkerchief. Her emotions had not calmed down yet. She said with red eyes: "Sister Chen, come with me." She led Chu Qianchen inside and came to Bi Qianchen at the back. In the gauze cupboard, the sleepy Gu Zhiyan was placed on the beauty's couch, accompanied by the wet nurse. The atmosphere in the small bi gauze cupboard was solemn and depressing.
Seeing Shen Wan and others arriving, the wet nurse quickly stood up and then stepped aside at Shen Wan's signal.
Chu Qianchen sat down beside the beauty's couch and lowered his head to look at Gu Zhiyan.
The first step in looking, hearing and asking is to look.
Gu Zhiyan's face was sallow. Due to the fever, his cheeks were flushed and his temples were almost soaked with sweat.
She closed her eyes, so Chu Qianchen couldn't see her eyes for the time being, but he could at least tell that the little girl had lost a lot of weight. Her face was as big as a palm, her chin was pointed, and her slender wrists seemed to be skin and bones. It will seem like it will break.
Chu Qianchen had never seen Gu Zhiyan when he was in the hunting palace. The first time he saw her, he was shocked. He didn't expect that she was so thin.
Thinking of Gu Zhiyan's fair and well-behaved appearance in the past, Chu Qianchen also felt distressed. The little girl always pulls her skirt obediently and is very obedient. She is much easier to control than the two little brats Chu Yunmu and Chu Yunyi.
Chu Qianchen gently pushed up Gu Zhiyan's sleeves, then gently placed three fingers on her right wrist and began to feel her pulse.
Gu Zhiyan didn't sleep very peacefully. Her face was turned from one side to the other, and her eyes were still closed.
Chu Qianchen lowered his eyes, carefully feeling the pulse under his fingers, and said nothing for a while.
Shen and others in the back all looked at the cousins and waited quietly.
Seeing that Chu Qianchen remained motionless in the posture of diagnosing the pulse, Amber's eyes condensed and he began to count silently in his heart, counting from "one" to "five".
Amber knew very well about Chu Qianchen's habit of checking pulse. Once she took more than three breaths to check the pulse, it meant that the disease was not simple.
When Amber counted to "six", Chu Qianchen finally withdrew her hand, but still lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she was thinking about something, and no one else around her dared to disturb her.
Chu Qianchen was immersed in her own thoughts, and she found that Gu Zhiyan's pulse was strange.
Judging from the pulse condition, it is similar to the pulse case given by Zhengyuan a few days ago, that is, wind evil enters the body, fever, fatigue, and slow pulse. About 80% to 90% of children have suffered from similar diseases.
However, Gu Zhiyan's illness has been recurring, resulting in her long-term illness and physical weakness, imbalance of yin and yang, insufficient qi and blood. Insufficient blood means she cannot nourish her heart... and her absence syndrome is getting worse.
Chu Qianchen raised her head and explained the results of her pulse test succinctly.
Finally, she added: "I have read the pulse case judged by Zheng Yuan, and there is no problem with his pulse diagnosis."
Shen Wan: "..."
Shen Wan opened her eyes slightly, and then she realized that it was Chu Qianchen who asked the judge Zheng to see Gu Zhiyan, and a warm current surged through her heart.
Thinking back to the day when Chu Qianchen sent Amber to deliver Rongyang Pills to her, Shen Wan looked at Chu Qianchen with softer eyes.
Before, she deliberately alienated Chu Qianchen. In fact, she was somewhat worried that Chu Qianchen would have a grudge against her as her aunt. Now she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, feeling that she was judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart.
Shen Wan's heart was still hanging high and she asked in a difficult voice: "Sister Chen, do you have a way to save Qiniang?"
Chu Qianchen didn't directly say whether it was OK or not, he just said: "We have to lower Qiniang's body temperature first, and then treat other diseases."
Her unhurried voice was like a reassurance to Shen Wan at this moment. Shen gently stroked Shen Wan's back and soothed her emotions with a smile.
Chu Qianchen recalled the prescription that Shen Wan showed her just now.
Bupleurum, Schizonepeta, Coptis chinensis, Scutellaria baicalensis, red peony root, Artemisia annua, Daqingye...
Judging from this prescription, there is nothing special. Even if she were to prescribe it herself, she would only adjust the dosage of one or two of the medicines to make them more effective.
Since that prescription was useless to Gu Zhiyan, that is to say, even if she adjusted the dosage, there was a high probability, no, it should be said that it would definitely not be useful.
Chu Qianchen's eyes turned on Gu Zhiyan's dim face. She felt that there must be some hidden reason for Gu Zhiyan's illness, so there was no need to rush to prescribe the medicine.
At this moment, Gu Zhiyan, who was lying motionless on the beauty's couch, suddenly started to move.
Her eyes were rolling under her eyelids, her limbs began to twitch again, her body was stiff, her teeth were clenched, her lips were cyanotic, and even her eyes were turned up.
This is a symptom of febrile convulsions.
"Qiniang!" Shen Wan exclaimed in fright.
Chu Qianchen reacted quickly. He quickly supported Gu Zhiyan's body and asked her to lie on her side, turning her head towards him to prevent her from choking on saliva or vomit. He also ordered the wet nurse to hold Gu Zhiyan carefully. body, don't let her move.
"Amber, needle."
Chu Qianchen spread her right hand, and Amber immediately handed a golden needle into her hand.
It was only at this moment that Mrs. Mu Guogong, Mrs. Shen and others noticed that Hu Bo had opened the needle bag at some point, prepared a candle, and burned the golden needle with the candle fire.
Amber stood beside Chu Qianchen calmly. She had accompanied Chu Qianchen for so many medical consultations, and there was already a tacit understanding between master and servant.
Chu Qianchen concentrated his mind and calmed his energy, selected the Dazhui point, pinched and massaged the acupoints up, down, left and right for a while to disperse the qi and blood and make the qi in the meridians unobstructed. Then she held the needle with her thumb and index finger and stabbed it accurately at the Dazhui point.
After the tip of the needle penetrates for a while, it lifts up a little, and then pokes down, repeatedly performing the lifting and lowering movements, first shallowly and then deeply, inserting harder and lifting lightly, the speed is extremely slow, and it is painfully slow.
Shen Wan's eyes were fixed on the small golden needle.
She had seen Chu Qianchen perform acupuncture on Gu Zhiyan in Jishi Hall, but this was the first time she saw her using this technique, and her heart moved up and down as the golden needle was inserted.
If he hadn't known about Chu Qianchen's medical skills and her unparalleled accuracy in selecting acupuncture points, Shen Wan would have almost thought that she had not selected the right acupuncture points, so she tried again and again.
Chu Qianchen concentrated on inserting the golden needle more than ten times before letting go.
Immediately afterwards, the second golden needle was pierced into the Quchi point on the little girl's arm, and the same technique was used to repeatedly lift and insert the golden needle.
After the second golden needle was completely inserted, Gu Zhiyan's convulsions began to lessen...
The wet nurse who was pressing Gu Zhiyan's body was surprised, but also said a little uncertainly: "The county master seems to have stopped whipping so hard."
Gu Zhiyan's convulsions did begin to lessen, but only less. Her limbs were still twitching slightly, like chaff.
Chu Qianchen continued to give the third, fourth, and fifth injections.
It took nearly two cups of tea to get just five golden needles. At this moment, time seemed to be extremely slow and torturous for everyone.
Shen and the others who were watching from the side were all tensed up and in a state of high tension. Unknowingly, they all broke into a cold sweat.
Gu Zhiyan's twitching has stopped and his eyes no longer roll up, describing him as calm and docile.
The wet nurse gently stroked Gu Zhiyan's back. Her temples had long been wet with sweat, and her originally purple lips had become much more normal, but they were still white and dry.
The nurse carefully raised her hand to caress Gu Zhiyan's forehead, her eyelids trembling.
