Chapter 314: It's Difficult to Be a Medical Officer
The Empress Dowager Dou Yifang's hands were shaking with excitement, and she almost fell off her seat. The frightened palace maids and palace attendants quickly knelt down on the ground. Changle Palace is the residence of the Empress Dowager. Under normal circumstances, there is nothing serious.
Foreign ministers will not be summoned here, and today is the first time to make an exception.
"Are you telling the truth?" Dou, the Empress Dowager, reached out to touch the things in front of her, and the bottles and jars on the small table were knocked all over the floor.
Zhuang Qingzhai knelt on the ground: "He said it himself. I don't dare to make the decision without permission. Please make the decision!"
"In your opinion, how sure is he?" Mr. Dou did not give Zhuang Qingzhai a chance to shirk his responsibility.
"Wei Chen doesn't know! But according to Wei Chen's understanding, when Su Ren was at Wenshui Laojun Temple, he used a special method to save a man who had his belly chopped open. Now the people of Wenshui regard Su Ren as a priest.
For gods."
"How did he save that man?"
"Su Ren used needle and thread to sew up the man's wound, and the man actually recovered!"
"With needle and thread?"
"Yes, use a needle and thread! According to him, this is called wound suturing. If the wound is too big, this method can stop the bleeding. As long as the bleeding is stopped, combined with some anti-inflammatory methods, there is a 90% certainty that the person can be cured!
"
"The Ai family suffered from eye disease more than ten years ago, and their eyesight is getting worse and worse. The last time I got sick, I couldn't see anymore. I thought I would be a blind old lady in this life, but who would have thought that I would still have a chance!
Mrs. Dou smiled slightly: "Living like this is really not as happy as dying!"
"The Empress Dowager must be careful to say that the Emperor and Empress will be blessed with great blessings and will surely live a long life!"
Mr. Dou chuckled and said, "How many people in the world can live to be a hundred years old? Well, let him see. If Ai's illness can be cured, there is no harm in sparing his life!"
"Mother, Su Ren is a liar and is a liar. You must not be fooled!" Liu Piao quickly stopped him: "This person is deceiving people and getting close to my mother in the name of medical treatment. He must have ulterior motives!"
Mrs. Dou glanced at Liu Piao with empty eyes, and Liu Piao quickly lowered his head: "How could I not know about your little thoughts? Don't worry, Xu'er is also my grandson. I have to say this. I only promise to stay.
His life was spared, but he didn’t say I wouldn’t cut off his hands and feet.”
"Thank you, mother!" Liu Piao's face immediately turned red and he knelt on the ground.
Zhuang Qingzhai pretended not to hear, saluted and left the palace.
Su Ren was no longer put in a cell. Zhuang Qingzhai and Ji An specially arranged a room for him to live in. In addition to not being able to go out at will, there were two servants dedicated to serving him. His life was pretty good. He slept beautifully.
After sleeping, he opened his eyes and saw the food on the small table. Chang'an belongs to the north, and people in Guanzhong like pasta. A big bowl of vegetable soup and a piece of pot helmet were Su Ren's breakfast.
It tasted pretty good, but the lack of meat made Su Ren a little depressed. After eating and drinking, he wiped his mouth and said, "Where is your husband? Do you have to go to court today?"
Serving Su Ren were two young boys, about fourteen or fifteen years old. After all, they were from the Jingzhao Yin Mansion and they knew the rules. In response to Su Ren's question, the two just smiled: "Sir, the other boys are out.
People don’t know!”
"When you come back, go and call him. Forget about Jing Zhaoyin. When the imperial censor comes back, you must call him. Just tell him that I have something important to do!"
"Well, don't worry, sir, we've taken note of it!"
After tidying up, the two servants went out. Only Su Ren was left in the empty room. He turned over and fell asleep again, staring blankly at the roof. He was really bored. There was neither a mobile phone nor a TV. He crossed his legs and hummed casually.
Su Ren wanted to use this method to break up the boring time by singing some popular songs, but the more he did this, the more bored he became.
The door was pushed open with a creak. Su Ren didn't even look at it: "Can you find me some books? It's too boring here!"
"Oh! In this rare leisure time, Mr. Su actually felt bored. It's really a waste of my efforts!" Zhuang Qingzhai stood at the door, the light coming in from the outside, and his face was so dark that it was difficult to see his expression.
Su Renyi stood up and said with a smile: "It's your wish to let me go home. Why don't you try living here for three days? What's the difference between this and going to jail?"
Zhuang Qingzhai entered the door with a smile on his face. He knelt down behind the small table and had a servant serve him water. Looking at Zhuang Qingzhai's expression, Su Ren said: "It seems like there is something good going on? Tell me about it."
?Did the Queen Mother agree to let me diagnose her illness?"
Zhuang Qingzhai glanced at Su Ren: "Indeed! But let me say it first. Diagnosing and curing the Queen Mother's illness will only save your life. If you don't do it well, you have to think about the consequences.
It’s clear, if I were you, I would never agree to this! Don’t think that the imperial doctors are all fools. Those people naturally know where the Empress Dowager’s chronic illness is. Why do they watch the Empress Dowager invisible day by day?
, but they didn’t take action, you should know the danger here!”
"Aren't you just afraid of death? If I don't go now, I will die. If I go, there may be a glimmer of hope. Even if it's ruined, it's still worth it to have the Empress Dowager buried with me!"
"you!"
Su Ren smiled and said: "By the way, and you, the sponsor, the imperial censor, from now on we are just grasshoppers on the same rope. Tell me, when will you enter the palace?"
"You still want to enter the palace?" Zhuang Qingzhai sneered and said toward the door: "Bring the things in!"
Two strong men carried a large pile of bamboo slips through the door and placed the bamboo slips firmly on the ground. Zhuang Qingzhai said: "At this time, you can take a look at the medical records of the Empress Dowager. If you are still sure, then go in."
It’s not too late for the palace.”
Su Ren picked up a volume and recognized all the words on it. Putting them together, it was confusing. Although the medical records of the Han Dynasty did not have the ghost symbols in later hospitals, many of them were called and had different names. For example, if someone had a fever,
Those imperial doctors would start with the five elements of heaven and earth, and then give an explanation for the invasion of evil spirits. Maybe the palace was looking for a cure for the disease by jumping rope.
Zhuang Qingzhai stood up to leave, but Su Ren quickly stopped him: "I can't understand this thing. Can you find someone to explain it?"
Zhuang Qingzhai was stunned: "I have never seen a medical officer who can't understand medical records. This time I will be killed by you!" After saying that, he ignored Su Ren and went out.
In the next three days, Su Ren just looked through the medical records. From being unable to understand at first, to slowly finding some clues, Su Ren looked over and over again, his head was spinning. There seemed to be a lot of medical records.
If it were written on paper, it might be a little thin. Judging from the medical records, Empress Dowager Dou should have suffered from rheumatism, liver disease, and some gastrointestinal diseases, and the most prominent one was eye disease. Su Ren
Define it as cataract.
This disease is a common disease among the elderly. There are many causes of the disease, including malnutrition and poisoning. Dou lived in the palace all year round and accompanied two emperors. When he was young, he went through the period of Empress Lu. The palace wall was full of intrigues.
Anything can happen inside, but the Dou family comes from a poor family and certainly doesn't know much about these stupid people. It's natural to be plotted against.
Although it was known that Empress Dowager Dou had cataracts, there was still no way to cure this disease. In later generations, there was no other way to treat this disease except surgery. In the Han Dynasty for thousands of years, who dared to operate on the eyes of Empress Dowager Dou? Even if someone could
Silly and bold, there is no artificial crystal!
Su Ren threw away the bamboo slips in his hand and lay down on the couch. As he had guessed at the beginning, since there was no cure, he had to find a way to relieve it. He must take the medicine to clear his mind and improve his eyesight. How to make Mr. Dou see the curative effect was what Su Ren had to face.
Right big question.
Zhuang Qingzhai is here again. He will come to see Su Ren at this time in the past few days. Seeing Su Ren lying on the couch in a daze with the medical records thrown on the floor, Zhuang Qingzhai motioned to his servants to sort out the medical records:
"Is there any progress?"
Su Ren sat up suddenly: "Does anyone dare to operate on the eyes of the Empress Dowager?"
"Ah! You're crazy!" Zhuang Qingzhai was startled: "The eyes are very important. Not to mention the Queen Mother, even the common people will not let anyone touch them! Do you want to do the surgery?
The Empress Dowager really became blind? No, absolutely not!"
"I'm asking if anyone dares? I didn't ask if it's okay!"
Zhuang Qingzhai looked at Su Ren thoughtfully: "You don't want to make a fuss about this, do you? No one dares to do it, it doesn't mean that your medical skills are not good. I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible, I can see it
Come out, how can the Empress Dowager be so easy to deceive?"
"Who is trying to lie?" Su Ren was furious: "I have found the cause of the Empress Dowager's illness, so I'm asking you if anyone knows that the Empress Dowager's eye disease is just because it is blocked by a white film. As long as that is removed,
Just apply a layer of film and you can see the light again!”
"White membrane blocking it? Who is so bold as to murder the Queen Mother?"
"No one!" Su Ren gestured to Zhuang Qingzhai to sit down: "This phenomenon occurs when people get older. It's just a little more serious for the Empress Dowager. No matter what is used for decades, problems will occur, and eyes are no exception.
Isn’t it surprising that the dead skin accumulated over the years or other impurities are mixed together and turn into white film?”
Zhuang Qingzhai listened quietly and seemed to think that what Su Ren said made sense. As he got older, his eyesight became worse and worse. If it was true as Su Ren said, he might also become blind: "You mean everyone will become blind."
Becoming blind?"
"That's not the case. Some people have more impurities in their eyes, such as the Queen Mother, while others have less impurities. Xu Cheng is a few years older than the Queen Mother, but he has not become blind. This is an example."
"So do you really have to remove that white film?" Zhuang Qingzhai was in a dilemma: "But who dares to use a knife on the eyes of the Empress Dowager? The slightest mistake will be the crime of annihilating the Yi clan, you and me.
I can’t run away either!”
"Then I'm the only one here?" Su Ren poured himself a glass of water, sat down cross-legged, leaned against the wall, and watched Zhuang Qingzhai drink slowly.
"Are you sure?"
Su Ren shook his head: "Try your best! As long as the Queen Mother is determined, I will take action. You can tell the Queen Mother now. I will wait for the result here. Don't forget your promise!" (To be continued!
