Chapter 8 Leaky Gut

Feng Qingsui reluctantly gave two branches to Ji Changqing.

"Second Master may not be used to the smell, so try inserting two branches first."

Ji Changqing looked at the two branches that had obviously fewer flowers than the other branches, and gained a new understanding of the stinginess of this little liar.

"Okay, I'll try it first. If I get used to the smell, I'll ask my sister-in-law for it."

Feng Qingsui: “…”

Is this the character of a prime minister?

The Xi Kingdom is about to be destroyed.

She carried the flower branches back to Polangxuan, took out a celadon bottle from the cupboard, filled it halfway with water, put the flower branches in it one by one, and placed it in the room.

The faint fragrance fills the room.

She sat down with her eyes closed, raised her hand and touched a branch of flowers, as if she was back in the dormitory of the Salesian Home.

"Sui Sui, do you want to eat fried glutinous rice cakes?"

"think."

"Once my sister finishes embroidering this handkerchief and exchanges it for money, she can buy some glutinous rice cakes."

"OK!"

In the cold winter, there is nothing happier than eating a piece of fried rice cake that is crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside, fragrant, sweet and hot.

Her sister embroidered from morning to night just to buy her a few more fried rice cakes.

She was ignorant and didn't understand until she touched the rough cracks on the back of her sister's hand. Only then did she realize how difficult it was to embroider in the middle of winter.

She doesn't want to eat fried rice cakes anymore.

"It's okay. My hands will crack in the winter. They will be fine in the spring."

Her sister comforted her.

"If you don't believe me, touch other people's hands."

She touched it and found that other people's hands also had cracks, but they were not as rough as her sister's, and there was no bloody smell.

My elder sister just knows how to tell lies with her eyes open and fool this little blind girl.

"Sister, when I grow up, I'm going to make the best hand cream in the world so you can use it all winter without your hands cracking."

That New Year, she made a great wish.

My sister smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait."

Feng Qingsui sat quietly, tears streaming down his face unknowingly.

She can now make the best hand cream in the world, but she can no longer be the best sister in the world.

The tears gradually dried up.

She opened her eyes and took out the puppet from her sleeve pocket.

This puppet was made and fired by her own hands and sent to Xiaoyu. It is one of a kind in the world.

That's why he recognized it at first sight when Xun Shan's grandson was playing with it.

The executioner is now dead, but the mastermind behind the incident is still unknown.

She stood up and put the puppet into the box where the scroll was.

"It doesn't matter."

"I have a lifetime."

The next morning, she went to report to Madam Qi: "Mother, I found the same medical history as Master Xuan's in Master's notes. I plan to go to the Princess's residence."

Qi was slightly surprised: "Has anyone ever had his disease?"

Feng Qingsui nodded.

Qi hesitated for a moment and replied, "Then go ahead. Be careful and don't make rash promises."

"Don't worry, Mom. I never make promises."

Feng Qingsui smiled.

Then he took Wuhua out.

Ji Xuan fell to the ground and convulsed for quarter of an hour last night. When Princess Shouyang heard the news in the morning, she had no appetite for breakfast.

After hearing the servant's report, his worried face showed a hint of surprise.

"Wasn't what she said last time just polite?"

Ji Peiyuan was shocked.

I just thought Feng Qingsui had figured it out in the past two days and came to show his affection again.

It seems that it is a blessing in disguise, and disaster is inevitable. This woman deserves this disaster.

"Let's hear what she has to say." Ji Peiyuan said with a smile, "There are many experts among the people. Maybe she can come up with a unique recipe."

Princess Shouyang then sent for Feng Qingsui to come over.

After Feng Qingsui paid her respects, she said, "Princess, I've been reading through my notes these past few days and came across a case that's 99% consistent with your son's. I've come to inform you of this."

Princess Shouyang couldn't wait to ask, "What's the disease?"

“Leaky gut.”

Princess Shouyang was stunned.

"I've never heard of this disease..."

Ji Peiyuan sneered: "Although this prince consort is not proficient in medicine, he has read a few medical books. He has only seen wolf leakage, rat leakage, bee leakage, centipede leakage, hemorrhoid leakage... but has never seen intestinal leakage."

"You didn't make up a disease to fool us, did you?"

Feng Qingsui: "This disease was named by my teacher. It is not recorded in medical books, so the Prince Consort has naturally never seen it."

Ji Peiyuan: "Leaky gut must be related to the intestines. Our Xuan'er has myoclonus, not intestinal spasm. Your statement is completely irrelevant."

Princess Shouyang also found it outrageous, but when she saw Feng Qingsui looking calm, she felt annoyed.

"I'm not sitting here so early in the morning to listen to your nonsense. If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, don't blame me for being rude."

Ji Peiyuan chuckled in his heart.

It seemed as if he had already seen the scene of Feng Qingsui being dragged away and beaten with a stick.

Feng Qingsui bowed to Princess Shouyang:

"Master Xuan's illness has nothing to do with me. I was moved by the princess's motherly love, so I forgot to eat and sleep to read the notes."

"I don't think the princess has the patience to even listen to me explain my illness. I'm sure the princess wouldn't believe me even if I told her."

"In that case, I'd better take my leave now to avoid wasting the princess' time."

Ji Peiyuan: “…”

Princess Shouyang: “…”

She was silent for a moment, and when she saw Feng Qingsui was really about to leave, she hurriedly shouted, "Wait."

Feng Qingsui turned around.

Princess Shouyang said with a stern face, "I was worried about Xuan'er's illness, so I lost my composure. Please sit down first, have a cup of tea, and then we can talk slowly."

Immediately, a servant went to the tea room to make tea.

Feng Qingsui picked a chair and sat down, saying slowly:

"The princess and her husband must know that some people can eat anything, while others will develop rashes or even die after eating certain foods. Master Xuan's leaky gut is caused by eating the wrong foods."

"Think back, Master Xuan has been suffering from frequent abdominal pain and diarrhea over the years, and medicine has been ineffective?"

Princess Shouyang nodded immediately: "That's right."

Ji Peiyuan curled his lips and said, "The imperial physician has already said that this is because Xuan'er was born prematurely, has congenital deficiencies, and has a weak stomach."

Feng Qingsui shook his head.

"No."

"Master Xuan is intolerant to wheat flour-based pasta, snacks, sauces, etc., which is why he's like this."

Ji Peiyuan's expression froze.

Then he burst into laughter.

"You mean, Xuan'er can't eat things made with wheat flour?

This is ridiculous. My ancestors grew up eating wheat noodles, and you actually said that wheat noodles can make people sick. This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard in my life."

Feng Qingsui said calmly, "Before pumpkins were introduced to Xi Country, the people of Xi Country didn't believe that there was such a thing as pumpkins in the world."

Ji Peiyuan: “…”

He snorted coldly: "Even if it's true as you said, Xuan'er had intestinal discomfort because of eating pastries, what does that have to do with his tremors and spasms?"

"Your Highness, your question hits the nail on the head."

Feng Qingsui smiled.

"If you eat intolerant foods for a long time, your intestines will be damaged, causing substances that shouldn't enter your blood to sneak into your body, causing inflammation throughout your body."

"Intestinal inflammation can cause abdominal pain and diarrhea, joint inflammation can cause stiffness and deformity, and brain inflammation can cause neurological disorders."

"That's why Master Xuan is tired all day, his intestines are weak, and his muscles are out of control."

Princess Shouyang's eyes lit up.
