Doctor Liu said: "The cold has penetrated into the bones and is difficult to remove. Every year from October to March of the following year, he is the most uncomfortable, especially in the twelfth lunar month. Basically, he can only lie in bed."
Man Bao: "Then he can still be a young eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
Doctor Liu smiled and said: "He is not like a foreign minister. He still needs to go to the court to serve as a director. The affairs handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs are handled by the chief officials of each bureau below. There are also little servants who are handed over to him to take over. The little servants can't solve it.
Come, just report to him and let him make an idea, why can't you do it?"
Doctor Liu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea and then smiled and said: "The people in their palace are different from us foreign ministers. We no longer serve as officials. We have many places to go after we resign, but they can only die in the palace. Especially
A person like the Child Chamberlain can climb to that position and give countless favors, but naturally he will also have countless hatreds."
"Those chamberlains know the current affairs best. Once he loses power, those who are good friends with him may not be willing to offend his enemies for him. The best person is to avoid adding insult to injury." Dr. Liu asked Zhou Man, "What does Dr. Zhou think?"
Get up and ask him?"
Man Bao said: "He came to see me, but we haven't talked yet. I guess he might want me to see him. Dr. Liu, what's his pulse like?"
Doctor Liu thought for a while and said, "I should have checked his pulse three months ago."
He paused and then said: "It's very bad. The cold air has entered the body. I think there is only about a year left."
Man Bao was surprised, "So serious? How old is he?"
Doctor Liu smiled and said: "He is forty-eight this year. He has been suffering from cold syndrome for nearly thirty years. When he was young, he didn't know how to take care of himself, and he didn't have the conditions to take care of it. That's why he ended up like this. But he has survived to this day.
It’s rare.”
Man Bao frowned, "Why is the cold syndrome so serious? Even for women? Very few people have such severe cold syndrome."
Doctor Liu sighed and said: "People like them are no different from women. This child servant was castrated early? I heard that he entered the palace at the age of five or six..."
Therefore, the body has not developed and the yang energy is insufficient. Doctor Liu paused and said: "When the late emperor was still alive, he served in the palace of Concubine Xian De. Because he offended Concubine De, he was punished to kneel in the courtyard for a while.
At night? Cold water was poured on him at that time, and it was still the twelfth lunar month. Not to mention cold water being poured on him, he could freeze to death even if he was just kneeling."
"But is it so strange? He knelt all night and was still breathing when he was carried down. After he came back to life, he suffered from cold syndrome? When he was young, it couldn't be removed? Later, when he was able to ask the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital? The cold was already there
Penetrating into the bones? It can’t be cured at all.”
Doctor Liu paused and said, "His illness is as difficult as Yin Yu's, and both are incurable diseases."
Man Bao was surprised? But more excited? "I can't wait to see it."
Doctor Liu felt refreshed when he thought that she had made Yin He look like a normal person now. "Maybe you can go and have a look? You can cure Yin He's disease, maybe he can too."
Man Bao shook his head and said: "Is Yin You's illness cured? It's just to keep his body in balance. The foundation is still weak now, but as long as the balance is not broken, his body will not be too big."
problem."
This is also the best treatment plan that Manbao and Teacher Mo can find.
But Teacher Mo also said? This kind of balance requires the patient to have an excellent mentality and a very peaceful living environment. Otherwise, once his body feels uncomfortable and the balance is broken, it will be a flash flood, which is very dangerous.
thing.
Man Bao touched his chin and thought, "Cold symptoms naturally require eradication of the cold, and then return to Yang..."
But considering the physical condition and age of the servant girl, Man Bao also became troubled, as there seemed to be no particularly suitable prescription.
Doctor Liu glanced at her and said, "It's February now, and the weather is starting to get warmer. The longer it gets, the better it will be for treating cold syndrome, but I'm afraid his body won't be able to withstand it."
Man Bao said: "But I can't get out either."
Doctor Liu smiled slightly and said, "You can't get out, but he can get in."
He said leisurely: "Although he has been deprived of his official position, it is not difficult to find an excuse to live in this village."
Man Bao looked at him curiously, "Mr. Liu, do you really want me to treat him?" Why do you keep teasing her?
Doctor Liu smiled and said: "I owe him a favor. Although I don't know if you can cure the person, I helped him out by saying a few words, which can be regarded as a return of favor."
Manbao perked up and became excited, "Why do you owe him a favor?" She liked listening to people tell stories the most.
Doctor Liu glanced at her and said: "Mr. Zhou, not everyone is as lucky as you. I was almost forty when I entered the hospital. Although I was specially recruited by Doctor Tan, I still have to start from the beginning.
Starting out as a medical assistant, I worked as a junior doctor in the palace for five years before I could treat the concubines in the palace. I worked for another four years before I was able to take a pulse on the empress, and then for another three years before I was able to treat the concubines in the palace.
I will check on His Majesty and feel his pulse during the shift."
"The Child Chamberlain not only worked as a servant for the Queen, but also served the Queen Mother for a long time," said Dr. Liu: "Once again, the little old man made a small mistake, and the Child Chamberlain quietly helped me cover it up.
Originally, if he didn't do it, maybe no one would have discovered it, but there are no small things in the palace. Once he was discovered, whether I could keep it or not, the position of imperial physician would definitely be gone."
"Of course it's good to get it done once and for all. What's more, he's from the Queen Mother's palace and he didn't take any reward for my meritorious service. This is a kindness."
Man Bao asked curiously: "What little mistake did you make?"
"I won't tell you," Doctor Liu smiled at her, "How can I tell others the mistakes I've made?"
"You tell me, and I won't tell anyone else."
Doctor Liu still shook his head, "Mr. Zhou, it's not that I can't trust you, but it's a harmless mistake. What's the point? Anyway, you know that we have such a connection. By the way, it's my turn to take a rest tomorrow.
Do you want me to bring him a message?"
Man Bao's heart ached and he became sad. He was no longer interested in the mistakes that Imperial Physician Liu had made, "I haven't taken a bath for twenty years."
Dr. Liu comforted her and said, "Didn't Xiao Yuan just say that when this matter is over, I will give you and Dr. Lu a long vacation? Your rest during this period has been saved, and it will be given to you when the time comes."
Manbao's mood improved a lot.
Dr. Liu urged her to make a decision, "Do you want Dr. Zhou to take a look?"
Man Bao thought for a while and then nodded, "Okay, if he wants to see a doctor, then he can find a way to come in by himself. I won't refuse the treatment."
It's rare to see patients with such symptoms, so it's a good time to take a look. I wonder if Teacher Mo is interested in this case?
