Chapter Thirteen: Long Chuxia Diagnoses and Treats the Emperor
Li Tong turned pale with fright. If he had known that Long Chuxia was so disobedient, he would not have dragged her over to ask for the emperor's pulse. He was about to plead for Long Chuxia, but Long Chuxia said: "Since the emperor is a person who values rules,
If you are a person, then please ask the emperor to find someone who understands the rules to ask for a pulse for the Queen Mother. This servant does not know the rules and would rather go back to Yingju Garden to sweep the floor and ask for the emperor's permission."
When the emperor heard this, his eyes were like blades darting across Long Chuxia's face, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Are you threatening me?" He remembered that she had said before that if she couldn't be a noble concubine, she would rather be a palace maid. At that time, he thought she was vain.
Ambitious woman, but now it seems that she is a fool who does not know how to live or die.
Long Chuxia walked straight over, only half a meter away from him, frowned and said, "You can say whatever you like, but your left side hurts more?" The veins on his forehead popped out, and the tendons on the left were bigger than those on the right.
It is obviously much thicker, and it involves his eyes, so his left eye is narrowed more narrowly than his right eye. People who have headaches will be in a bad mood. You can tell by looking at how angry he is now.
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then he said coldly with a sullen face: "I don't need you to bother me, get out and learn the rules before coming back!"
Long Chuxia stretched out her hand and pulled his wrist. The emperor was furious and was about to push her away when he heard her suddenly sternly say angrily: "Don't move!" He was used to seeing her calm and calm face, but suddenly he heard her sternness.
The emperor was stunned for a second, and his face turned pale when he reacted, "You..."
"What are you doing? It's your fault if you don't treat your illness. As an emperor, you can't hide your illness and avoid medical treatment. Don't you know the principle of traditional Chinese medicine? Your migraine is not that serious in the first place. As long as you take medicine, pay attention.
Keep warm and protected from wind, and the condition will be relieved. But you are obviously not a cooperative patient!" She scolded while checking her pulse.
This move frightened Li Tong and Doudou out of their wits. Li Tong really regretted bringing her over to ask for the emperor's pulse. He thought that no matter how cold and arrogant she was, she would not dare to act arrogantly in front of the emperor. But now, the word "arrogance" cannot be described.
of?
When the emperor ascended the throne as a young boy, even when the queen mother spoke to him, she was polite and amiable. How could anyone dare to yell at him or scold him? In my memory, the only person who dared to yell at him like this was the late emperor. When he was eight years old,
Since then, he has never heard anyone dare to speak to him in such a harsh tone.
Therefore, looking at Long Chuxia with a serious face, he obediently stretched out his hand
Li Tong widened his eyes in surprise and looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.
After Long Chuxia diagnosed the emperor's pulse, he took out the needle pack from the medicine box and said: "Your illness is very serious and needs to be treated as soon as possible. I am only good at acupuncture. As for the decoction, I have to ask the imperial doctor to prescribe it for you. Please bear with it."
It hurts, it’ll be fine soon!”
The emperor looked at her impatiently, "Stop being so nagging, hurry up and give the injection!"
Long Chuxia took out the needle and said, "You are really impatient!" She turned back to Doudou and said, "Huangdou, come here and help me!"
There was a row of black lines on Doudou's forehead. She had corrected it several times last night. Her name was Doudou, not Soybean and Heidou Croton. She got up, her legs were a little weak, took two steps and knelt on the ground again. She looked up and saw
The emperor's stern eyes made him panic, and he crawled and rolled to Long Chuxia's side, and asked timidly: "Sister Long, what help do you want from me?"
Long Chuxia handed her the needle pack and said, "You should re-sterilize the needle first."
"Well, okay!" She took off the needle pack and went to boil the needle in boiling water.
The emperor was about to get angry when Long Chuxia's fingers slid up his forehead and began to press gently. Her fingers were warm, but not delicate. The lines on her fingers were deep, but the touch made him feel fresh and comfortable.
His anger subsided, he closed his eyes and said viciously: "If you can't be cured, I will drag you out and chop you down!" When he said this, he was less harsh and more clinging to face.
"If you lie on the couch, your blood will flow better," Long Chuxia suggested angrily, "Of course, it's best to keep your mouth shut."
Li Tong stepped forward and winked at Long Chuxia, shook his head, and signaled her not to speak like this. Long Chuxia looked at Li Tong's pale face and asked with concern: "Manager Li, you don't look good and are not feeling well?"
The emperor said calmly: "He was scared by you!"
Long Chuxia thought of her words and deeds just now, which were indeed a bit excessive, but what could be done? This emperor would get angry easily, and if she had obeyed him, she would have been kicked out long ago. Psychologists have said that the more powerful a man is, the more he sometimes has to use
Treat him in a strong way, because no matter how domineering a person is, there will always be a masochistic mood in his subconscious.
She softened her tone and said to Tong Li: "Manager Li, go get some cold water and apply it on the emperor's forehead!"
"Cold water? You must not do it. If you apply cold water on your forehead, wouldn't it aggravate the cold and make the condition more serious? The imperial doctor ordered you to use hot water!" Li Tong was startled and said quickly
"How can you use hot water? Using hot water will cause the blood to expand. Not only will it not relieve the condition, but on the contrary, it will make the condition worse," Long Chuxia said
"That's nonsense. After I applied hot water on it, I felt much better." The emperor suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes as black as stars locked on Long Chuxia's face, trying to see some nonsense on her face.
Long Chuxia said seriously: "Hot water can indeed make you feel comfortable for a while, because as your pain lasts for a long time, your whole body will change from fever to coldness. Hot water can temporarily numb your pain, but from the perspective of medicine,
From a perspective, cold water can cool your head, thereby constricting blood vessels. After the blood vessels constrict, your symptoms will naturally be relieved. Don’t you feel that your blood vessels are as uncomfortable as if they are about to burst when you are in pain? This is because your
Blood vessels are originally painful because they expand. If you apply hot water to your forehead, your blood vessels will expand faster due to the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction. Relatively speaking, the condition will worsen. Only cold water, or even ice water, can truly relieve the pain.
"
Li Tong looked at her suspiciously, then looked at the emperor. The emperor was silent for a while and said to Li Tong: "Listen to her and do what she says!"
Li Tong nodded in agreement, then turned around and went out.
After a while, he saw him coming in with an ice bucket. Long Chuxia crushed the ice and wrapped it in a thick cloth. Then he asked the emperor to lie on the couch. She put the ice pack on his forehead and continued with her fingers.
Massage the acupuncture points on his head
It was now cold and cold in late autumn. When the ice pack just touched the emperor's skin, he shivered. Long Chuxia said softly: "Hold it, you'll be fine soon!"
He suppressed the uncomfortable feeling, closed his eyes and felt Long Chuxia's fingers moving on his head for a while. He got used to the cold air, and sure enough, the feeling of wanting to explode was relieved a lot. Li Tong saw
The emperor's frown slowly relaxed, and so did his own brows. He breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart that was hanging in the air finally fell to the ground.
After a while, Doudou came in holding a golden bowl. All the sterilized needles were placed in the bowl. She gently approached and said: "Sister Long, that's it!"
Long Chuxia shushed and motioned for her to speak softly. Li Tong and Doudou looked at the emperor, only to find that his breathing was even and he was in a deep sleep.
