The two had just reached the door of the inner room when they heard a gasp of surprise.

"Madam! Madam, what's wrong? Quickly, find a doctor!"

Fu Junshi's expression changed drastically.

She immediately strode forward, pushed aside the maids surrounding the canopy bed, knelt at the head of the bed, and frantically called out "Wanwan".

Xiao Qingyin followed her in and saw the person on the bed convulsing, looking terrified, as if he had seen something horrifying.

Immediately take out silver needles from the medical kit.

He said to Fu Junshi, "Please don't let her move around. I'll administer acupuncture first."

Fu Junshi nodded and pressed down on the woman's shoulder.

Xiao Qingyin administered more than a dozen acupuncture needles before the woman's convulsions finally stopped.

Fu Junshi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Miss Xiao."

"You are welcome."

Xiao Qingyin looked at the woman, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

This Mrs. Fu had a round face like a full moon, a dark red complexion covered in acne, thick shoulders and back, and a waist as thick as a water bucket.

These are typical symptoms of Cushing's syndrome.

However, Cushing's syndrome generally occurs in patients who have been using glucocorticoids for a long time.

There are no hormones in this era, so how could she develop such symptoms?

He then asked Fu Junshi, "May I see her legs?"

Fu Junshi looked slightly embarrassed.

"Do I really have to watch this?"

“Yes,” Xiao Qingyin replied, “I need to confirm.”

"Alright, please don't tell anyone."

Fu Junshi gave instructions.

After Xiao Qingyin rolled up the woman's trouser leg, she understood why Fu Junshi was uncomfortable.

This Mrs. Fu has hairy legs, which are the kind of legs that only men have.

"She wasn't like this before."

Fu Junshi looked embarrassed.

"It only started growing suddenly in the last few months."

"I know."

Xiao Qingyin smiled.

"She only grew leg hair because she was sick."

Fu Junshi was astonished.

"Can madness make leg hair grow longer?"

“Your wife isn’t crazy,” Xiao Qingyin replied. “She has a hormonal imbalance. She wasn’t this fat before, was she?”

Fu Junshi nodded.

My wife has gained 30 to 40 pounds in the past few months.

"That's right."

Xiao Qingyin pulled down the woman's trouser leg and explained, "She has typical Cushing's syndrome: a moon face, a buffalo hump, excessive hair, unstable emotions, irritability, and insomnia."

"you're right!"

Fu Junshi looked excited.

The doctors we consulted before, including the imperial physician, all said that Wanwan had developed epilepsy.

Even when he told them about the changes in his appearance, they didn't care, only saying that it was because appearance reflects the heart.

Xiao Qingyin even knew about the changes in her leg hair.

He knew that Wanwan wasn't crazy.

She was just sick.

The gloom that had been building up in his heart for so long was instantly swept away.

Fu Junshi forced himself to suppress his excitement and asked, "Since you know about this disease, you must be able to cure it, right?"

"What I just described are symptoms; I need to find the cause before I can treat the symptoms effectively."

Xiao Qingyin replied.

Does she have any pre-existing conditions such as lupus, asthma, or nephritis?

"No."

Fu Junshi answered without hesitation.

"Wanwan has always been in good health and rarely takes medicine."

What kind of food do you usually eat? Is there anything special about it?

Fu Junshi recalled for a moment and shook his head.

"It's mostly chicken, duck, fish, lamb, and ordinary fruits and vegetables. I don't like to eat those weird things at night."

"I see."

Xiao Qingyin gave the woman a thorough examination.

He frowned.

Upon seeing this, Fu Junshi's heart clenched.

Is there something wrong?

"Her illness was caused by excessive secretion of hormones from the adrenal glands."

Xiao Qingyin spoke as plainly as possible.

"The cause of abnormal secretion could be a tumor in the adrenal gland or a tumor in the brain."

Fu Junshi's face turned pale instantly.

Cao Cao, a warlord in a chaotic era, suffered from headaches. Acupuncture and medicine were ineffective, so Hua Tuo suggested that he open the skull to remove the root of the disease.

Does every night require craniotomy to remove the tumor before the patient can recover?

He had never heard of someone surviving brain surgery before…

Fu Junshi's heart sank to the bottom of the sea.

He gripped his wife's hand tightly, his eyes filled with pain.

"So, Wanwan has a terminal illness?"

"A terminal illness?" Xiao Qingyin paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "It might be considered a terminal illness by some doctors, but not by mine."

Fu Junshi felt as if he had come back to life.

Xiao Qingyin's next words made him anxious again.

"Generally speaking, this disease is caused by a tumor in one place, and your wife has abnormalities in her adrenal glands and pituitary gland."

I'm not sure if she has two tumors; we need to rule that out.

"Has your wife suffered any brain damage in the past?"

Fu Junshi hesitated for a moment before replying, "She injured her brain more than ten years ago and was in a coma for several days."

What symptoms did you experience after waking up?

Xiao Qingyin pressed for an answer.

"……No."

Xiao Qingyin frowned slightly.

A treatment plan was quickly formulated.

“Since she has suffered a brain injury, I will first help her clear the meridians in her head, and then try to stimulate her adrenal glands.”

"Okay. Thank you for your help."

After Xiao Qingyin finished performing acupuncture on the woman, she wrote out a prescription.

"Drink this prescription first, three times a day. I will come over once a day for acupuncture."

Eat a light diet, less sweets, more fish, meat, and eggs, and try to avoid worrying about things.

Fu Junshi nodded repeatedly.

"I will take care of her according to the doctor's orders."

When I came out of the general's mansion, the curfew had already passed.

Xiao Qingyin could only ask Ji Yunhua to take her back.
