Chapter 189: We can still save it

But it doesn’t matter, time will tell.

He Yanxiu thought so. ——In the next few days, He Yanxiu stayed here to recuperate.

He Yanxiu drank the medicine three times a day, had acupuncture in the morning and soaked his feet in the evening, but his cough symptoms did not improve.

Moreover, the coughing condition was more serious than when He Yanxiu came.

Su Yujin carefully felt He Yanxiu's pulse again, her brows furrowed even more than before, and she shook her head repeatedly, "This shouldn't be the case."

"But my disease is very difficult to treat?" He Yanxiu was a little uneasy.

"It's not that it's difficult to treat. On the contrary, it's easy to treat. The medicine I prescribed is also suitable for the symptoms. It shouldn't be the case that after taking the medicine for a few days, the condition gets worse."

After Su Yujin finished speaking, he lowered his head and thought.

Could it be that He Yanxiu has tuberculosis?

But judging from the pulse, there is nothing wrong.

The sound of He Yanxiu's cough was also somewhat different from usual. His throat was not red or swollen, and there was no abnormal noise in his lungs. But He Yanxiu was coughing like this now...

Something is wrong! After thinking for a long time, Su Yujin's face was solemn, "I think my medical skills are shallow and I can't see the crux of the problem. Why don't you go back to the capital to find the imperial physician for a consultation?"

Traditional Chinese Medicine is extensive and profound, with a long history. After thousands of years of development and continuous supplementation and strengthening, it has reached its modern form. However, even though there is a lot of information and experience left behind, it does not mean that what modern people have learned is necessarily better than that of the ancients.

Su Yujin was aware that his medical skills were limited, and he had great respect for the medical masters of the time.

The imperial physicians in the palace have gone through layers of selection, and those with mediocre medical skills will be dismissed every few years, and those with outstanding medical skills will be selected to enter the Imperial Medical Bureau. I think the imperial physicians in the palace should all be very outstanding. If an imperial physician were to examine He Yanxiu, he would probably be able to see the clues.

He Yanxiu, "..."

He felt he could still save it.

"Not really." He Yanxiu coughed twice and said slowly, "Although I can't stop coughing, today when I coughed, I only felt a little itchy in my throat. I didn't feel any other discomfort, and I didn't feel chest tightness and lung pain like I did the past two days when I coughed."

"I think it's just because I've gotten used to coughing lately, and I can't stop for a while. I'm trying to figure it out to see if I can suppress it."

Asking him to go back and find the imperial physician is absolutely impossible.

Su Yujin nodded after hearing this, "That makes sense."

Many times, physical illnesses are caused by psychological factors.

It is like when a person has a fish bone stuck in his throat. Even if the fish bone has been removed intact, he still feels like there is a foreign object in his throat and still has difficulty swallowing.

"Then let's wait for another day or two."

"Yes." He Yanxiu nodded repeatedly.

After the second day, He Yanxiu's cough had indeed eased a little. The cough was not as loud as before, and even the frequency was slightly less.

Su Yujin felt a little relieved when she saw this. She thought that this was indeed as He Yanxiu said, and it was probably a psychological issue.

However, He Yanxiu's cough symptoms were significantly alleviated, but he developed a new symptom - migraine.

It doesn't hurt all the time, but it hurts from time to time, like a needle prick, and it's very uncomfortable.

Su Yujin took He Yanxiu's pulse and prescribed a calming and pain-relieving decoction. She also used the decoction powder to fumigate He Yanxiu every night before he went to bed so that he could sleep more comfortably.

So, in addition to the cough medicine, He Yanxiu had to drink a bowl of this three times a day. He felt that his mouth was full of bitterness, and even eating several candied fruits could not relieve the bitterness.

The migraine problem has not been completely cured, and He Yanxiu said he felt weak again...

Su Yujin, "..."

When did He Yanxiu become so weak? He had a solid foundation in virgin martial arts, and he had practiced martial arts regularly, so he shouldn't have felt so uncomfortable after catching a cold.

And He Yanxiu looked like he wanted to stay here and not leave...

Maybe it's because something is happening in the capital, so I have to hide away and find some excuses to enjoy some peace and quiet here.

The more Su Yujin looked at it, the more she felt that this was the case. She simply did not use such strong medicine, but only some warming and nourishing medicine, and asked He Yanxiu to drink it slowly on a daily basis.

After having a morning meal of steamed buns with mixed wild mushrooms and a bowl of hot tofu pudding, Zhou Ruoyi came to the door.

"Sister Su, are you free to come to my house for lunch at noon?" After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhou Ruoyi stated the purpose of his visit.

Ever since she agreed to have a meal at Zhou Ruoyi's house, Zhou Ruoyi had invited her several times, and Su Yujin had also gone once or twice.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Seeing Zhou Ruoyi's dimples showing when he smiled, she reached out and touched his little head, "Then tell me first, what is the reason for me to go to your house for lunch today?"

Zhou Ruoyi straightened his chest and spoke confidently, "Today is my birthday. My mother asked me what gift I wanted. I said I didn't want anything else. I just wanted to invite Sister Su to my home for dinner and celebrate my birthday. Then my mother agreed and asked me to invite Sister Su."

"So today you are the little birthday girl." Su Yujin smiled, "Then you have to go to this dinner no matter what, so that you can celebrate your birthday."

"You go back first, I'll get ready and go over later."

"Okay." Zhou Ruoyi nodded excitedly, "I'll go back and ask my mother to prepare the sweet and sour fish and crystal shrimp dumplings that Sister Su likes."

Su Yujin usually eats light meals and is particularly fond of fish and shrimp.

Zhou Ruoyi remembers it very clearly.

"Okay." Su Yujin drew out the last syllable, with a smile on her face. The look in her eyes when she looked at Zhou Ruoyi was full of doting.

He is really a sensible and likable child, which makes people happy.

He Yanxiu raised his eyebrows slightly, walked up to Zhou Ruoyi, and bowed slightly, "Since it's your birthday, it will be more lively with more people, so can I go with you?"

"Of course it's good to have more people and it's lively. It's what we want, but I don't know who you are..." Zhou Ruoyi looked at He Yanxiu, whom he had never seen before, and his small eyes were full of confusion.

"I..." He Yanxiu paused, "I am your sister Su's second cousin."

Su Yujin, "..."

This matter is really unacceptable!

Zhou Ruoyi was delighted. "Since you are Sister Su's second cousin, you are my elder. From Sister Su's perspective, I should call you second cousin."

"It's my blessing that my cousin is willing to come with me. Then my second cousin and Sister Su will come together later." Zhou Ruoyi thought for a moment and said, "Does my second cousin have any favorite food? I'll go back and ask my mother to prepare it."

"I'm not picky about food, everything is good." He Yanxiu replied with a smile.
