Ye Fan asked a doctor to treat Shen Xu. The doctor said that she came into the house in time and did not catch a cold.
However, she suffered a severe head injury, and her aphasia and mental disorder may be due to blood clots in her brain, or it may be due to the severe stimulation she received when she was stabbed. The possibility of her recovery depends on fate.
Song Lin immediately understood what the doctor meant and asked her about some things in the past. Seeing that she seemed to have no recollection, he concluded that she had lost her memory of being with him.
Ye Fan had a cold face and was still arguing that even if he had lost his memory, he should not collude with foreign enemies.
Seeing her return to her dull and speechless expression upon seeing Ye Fan, Song Lin started arguing with Ye Fan, blaming him for indiscriminately hitting his own sister.
Ye Fan insisted that she must have pretended to have lost her memory to evade accountability and that she could not possibly be his sister.
The two of them almost came to blows.
Seeing the embroidery of land lotus on the medicine boy's cloth bag, Shen Xu's dark eyes flickered for a moment. He tugged at the doctor's sleeve and murmured, "Centipede, strychnine, cinnabar, lead powder, realgar, aconite...with dry land land lotus...take it warm..."
The doctor on duty was stunned. He glanced at Song Lin and Ye Fan standing beside him and asked again, "Miss, what are you talking about?"
Shen Xu ignored him and just repeated the prescription in his mouth in a low voice.
Song Lin asked: "Doctor, what did she say?"
The old doctor stroked his beard and replied, "Young lady, this is a case that requires my shopkeeper to come and see it in person."
Not long after, the owner of the clinic brought a young doctor into the general's mansion.
The two of them sent Ye Fan and Song Lin away and asked, "Can you tell me the details of the prescription that Miss mentioned?"
Shen Xu repeated the prescription.
The young doctor questioned, "Young lady, your prescription is wrong. Why does Qufeng Fuyun Powder need to be taken warm? What are the effects of Dry Land Lotus?"
"This recipe is called Warm Cloud Dispersion."
The two exchanged a glance, and the young doctor bowed and said, "I'm Dr. Jiang Ran, and this is Lu Qian, the young master of Lu's Pharmacy. What illness does this Nuanyun Powder treat? Where do you feel unwell, young lady?"
"Doctor Jiang has been practicing medicine abroad for many years, so it's rare for him to see you in the capital."
Shen Xu placed his wrist on the pulse diagnosis pad, "Nuanyunsan is used to treat diseases all over the world, and three grams of dry land lotus can help yang fire."
Jiang Ran sat down beside her, carefully felt her pulse, and explained in a gentle voice, "The ingredients in Nuanyun Powder are all poisonous and not suitable for treating illnesses."
"Doctor Jiang said that poison seems to be more suitable for killing people." Shen Xu handed over a small note with several people's names written on it.
Lu Qian took the note, carefully put it in his pocket, and spread his hands. "Since it's a prescription, of course it can cure the disease. But the dry land lotus is precious, it can't cure everyone in the world."
Shen Xu took out a copper coin from his pocket and placed it in Lu Qian's hand.
Lu Qian weighed the copper in his hand and said, "With this little money, it will be difficult to find someone to do things for you."
"Please trouble Young Master Lu to go and find the Acting Pavilion Master. He's willing to earn this copper coin."
Lu Qian replied, "Nanguan City is about to fall, and the acting Pavilion Master is too busy to take care of himself, so he is currently sending envoys to negotiate peace."
Jiang Ran frowned slightly, let go of the hand that was taking the pulse, turned back to sit at the table and started writing a prescription.
Shen Xu slowly stood up and said quietly, "The day when Nanguan City was captured was the day when the ruler and his subjects became alienated."
"Miss, is the price of this plan too high?"
"Heavy." She uttered the word slowly, her expression dark. "Raising the stakes is about winning more chips."
Lu Qian smiled faintly, "I'm a businessman, I don't understand the mentality of gamblers."
"Oh, it's all the same."
At this time, Jiang Ran put down his pen and gave the diagnosis.
"Young lady has suffered a brain injury and has obvious blood blockage. She should be experiencing memory loss and pain and numbness in her limbs. She can take some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medication, but it will only treat the symptoms, not the root cause."
“How to address the root cause?”
"Acupuncture to dissolve blood stasis carries certain risks."
"What risks?"
Jiang Ran answered truthfully: "Complete amnesia, aphasia, mental disorder, quadriplegia, or even outright death are all possible."
"How confident are you that it can be cured?"
"Less than 30%."
Shen Xu responded calmly, "Treat it."
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
After getting their permission, Ye Fan and Song Lin walked in. Song Lin quickly asked, "Doctor, how is her condition?"
Jiang Ran told them about her physical condition and told them that she would come to their house to give her acupuncture treatment for a period of time. She also prescribed some medicine to regulate her body and gave them some instructions.
Ye Fan asked her about reciting the prescription, and the two simply explained that people with blood stasis in their brains would talk nonsense, and that it was not a prescription, but ordinary medicinal herbs.
He looked suspiciously at Shen Xu, whose eyes were dull, and ordered his servants to secretly observe her actions.
…
the Council of State
In the main hall, several loyal ministers looked solemn, as if something bad had happened.
Prime Minister Liu's face was gloomy and he said very displeasedly: "Your Majesty, the matter of assassinating the Regent is so serious, why don't you discuss it with me?"
Murong Yao tightly grasped the letter sent by Xue Yan in his hand and argued on Jiang Yulou's behalf, "Haoyue Country doesn't know that the Regent has been assassinated. As long as the news is suppressed, we can delay the situation for a while."
"Blocking the news? Haoyue Nation is now powerful and struggling to find an excuse to attack its neighbors. What were you thinking? You'd actually stick your head out and let them chop it off?"
Censor Xu chimed in, "Sir, why should you encourage others and destroy your own prestige? It was the Haoyue people who were driven into hiding by the Black Sail Army over twenty years ago. Now that Major Generals Jiang and Ye have reorganized the Black Sail Army, they will surely surpass them."
