Chapter 89: Awakening from Filial Piety

Jiang Shu blinked and turned to look at Jiang's mother and Jiang Ning. Seeing their surprised faces, he knew that he was not mistaken.

"Why does Dad frown when Sister feeds him medicine?" Jiang Ning was surprised.

Jiang's mother understood and said, "Your father is afraid of bitterness and hates taking medicine the most. It must be bitter."

Hearing this, Jiang Shu hurriedly fed another spoonful of medicine.

Sure enough, Jiang's father frowned again and his eyelids moved.

Jiang Ning was so excited that he wanted to grab the medicine bowl and pour it into Jiang's father.

This would definitely wake his father up.

As spoonfuls of medicine were fed in, Jiang's father's eyebrows moved more and more, and even his fingers trembled slightly.

"Your father is about to wake up, go and call Doctor Chen." Jiang's mother was very happy and ordered Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning turned around and was about to leave, but Jiang Shu hurriedly told him, "Put away the smile on your face, don't let anyone see it."

Jiang's father's condition was still unclear, so it was not appropriate to let anyone know.

Jiang Ning cleared his throat, gathered his expression, and pretended to be sad again, and quietly went to ask for Doctor Chen.

Upon learning that Jiang's father was trembling and about to wake up because of the bitter medicine, Doctor Chen asked Jiang Ning to pry open Jiang's father's mouth and stuff a piece of Coptis chinensis into it without saying a word.

When the bitter taste of Coptis chinensis melted in his mouth, Jiang's father's eyebrows and eyes trembled violently, and his fingers also vibrated desperately, as if trying to break free from the restraints.

The four people stared at Jiang's father expectantly with eight eyes, secretly encouraging him.

Finally, Jiang's father opened his eyes, tremblingly opened his mouth, and tried his best to spit out the Coptis chinensis in his mouth.

"It's amazing! This is the first time I've seen a comatose person awakened by suffering." Doctor Chen smacked his lips.

Father Jiang had just woken up, his mind was not clear yet, he stared blankly at the ceiling, his brows knotted in bitterness.

Mother Jiang picked up the coptis chinensis that Father Jiang spat out, brought tea and used cotton cloth to wash Father Jiang 's mouth.

After washing several times, she fed Father Jiang a cup of tea with a spoon, and Father Jiang's brows gradually relaxed.

"Sir, please take a look at my father to see if he is okay." Jiang Shu pulled Mother Jiang out of the way and let Doctor Chen make a diagnosis.

Doctor Chen first took his pulse, then placed his hand in front of Father Jiang's eyes and moved it left and right.

Father Jiang's eyes moved with Doctor Chen's hand, and when Doctor Chen took a piece of coptis chinensis to feed him, Father Jiang's eyes widened and shook his head desperately.

"Dad's head can move." Jiang Ning exclaimed in surprise.

Doctor Chen took back the coptis root and showed a happy face: "Your father is no longer seriously ill. He will be able to speak after a short rest. He only needs to take medicine and rest."

"Thank you, sir." Jiang Shu and the other two bowed to express their gratitude.

Doctor Chen breathed a sigh of relief: "Now that your father has woken up, my mission is completed. Please arrange a carriage to take me back to the palace tomorrow."

"Of course, sir, rest peacefully for a night. I will have someone take you back to the palace tomorrow morning." Jiang Shu agreed.

At the end, he asked again: "Please keep the fact that my father has woken up a secret."

"Well, go and call that female doctor. I will tell her some important matters." Doctor Chen looked happy and was happy to leave tomorrow.

Jiang Ning smiled again, and called for Doctor Fang with a stern face.

Doctor Chen told her everything, including how to treat, what to pay attention to, and how to help Jiang's father recover as soon as possible.

Finally, Doctor Chen asked, "Do you know how to use acupuncture with silver needles?"

Doctor Fang nodded implicitly, "I know a little bit."

"Then how many days do you think I can remember?"

"I remember it probably."

"Okay, you show me how to do acupuncture." Doctor Chen asked Jiang Ning to help Jiang's father up.

Although Jiang's father was awake and his head could move, he could not speak and his body could not move much. He looked at Doctor Fang approaching with a silver needle, trying to pierce his head.

He wanted to resist, but Jiang Ning held him down as soon as he moved his head.

"Dad, this is acupuncture with silver needles, which can help you regain consciousness and move quickly."

Father Jiang's eyes widened, and his nostrils were breathing heavily.

It must be painful to insert a needle into the head, let go of the bad boy!

No one knows a husband better than his wife. Mother Jiang advised in a gentle voice: "Master, you have been in a coma for almost ten days. If it weren't for this acupuncture with silver needles, you probably wouldn't wake up."

Upon hearing this, Father Jiang stopped resisting and closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.

Doctor Fang had only inserted needles into people before. This was her first time inserting needles into a person's head, and she was a little afraid to do it.

Doctor Chen saw this and whispered to the side: "Find the acupuncture points for acupuncture, and be steady, accurate, and ruthless. Don't be afraid and hesitate."

Doctor Fang took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and then found the acupuncture points, and followed Doctor Chen's previous method to insert the needle.

Doctor Chen stared at him intently, instructing the sequence of acupuncture and the depth of the needles.

After a few needles, Doctor Fang relaxed, and her acupuncture became more and more decisive, steady and accurate.

"Very good, you are a good candidate for medical studies." Doctor Chen nodded in appreciation.

Father Jiang opened his eyes, and it seemed that the pain was not as unbearable as expected.

After the acupuncture on the head, Doctor Chen instructed Doctor Fang to give acupuncture to Father Jiang's broken leg to stimulate bone recovery.

After one time, Doctor Fang's technique was precise and there were no mistakes.

"She is a good doctor with superb medical skills. You can rest assured to let her treat your father." Doctor Chen spoke highly of Doctor Fang.

"Your Excellency is very kind." Doctor Fang bowed humbly.

Following Doctor Chen for the past few days, she has learned a lot. It is not an exaggeration to say that she has learned a lot from him.

Doctor Chen was very satisfied with Doctor Fang's humble attitude and said with satisfaction: "You and I are destined to meet. This set of silver needles will be given to you."

Doctor Fang was flattered and hurriedly thanked him again.

Doctor Chen smiled, packed up his medical box and went back to the house to rest.

While waiting for the needles to be removed, Jiang Shu and the other two discussed with Doctor Fang how to take care of Jiang's father secretly without being noticed.

Although the servants left in the courtyard to serve Jiang's father were trustworthy, there were nearly a hundred servants guarding the Jiang family, and it was hard to guarantee that there would be no spies from outside.

"Everything else is fine, the hardest thing is eating." Doctor Fang frowned.

Jiang Shu pondered and said, "Let stepmother and brother eat in the house. Let the kitchen send more porridge and soup, saying that mother has caught a cold and has a cough."

Jiang's father had just woken up and was very weak. He could only drink porridge and soup in the first few days.

Jiang's father listened to their words and wanted to ask what happened and why they were so vigilant.

He opened his mouth with all his strength and uttered, "Hungry..."

As soon as this word came out, everyone was stunned.

Jiang's father was also stunned. What he wanted to say just now was obviously not this.

"Sister, did you hear that Dad can speak now." Jiang Ning looked curious.

Jiang's mother said distressedly: "Your father is hungry, go to the kitchen and ask for a bowl of porridge."

"Okay, I'll go right away, just say I didn't eat enough at night."

Jiang Ning is in the period of growth, and he often feels hungry at night. It won't arouse suspicion if he asks for a midnight snack.

Looking at Jiang Ning's leaving figure, thinking of the porridge they talked about, Jiang's father swallowed his saliva.

He is indeed hungry.

Although he was fed soup every day during the days of coma, it could only barely sustain his life and could not fill his stomach. When he regained consciousness, Jiang's father only felt hungry and dizzy.

Jiang Ning came back quickly, and when he opened the food box he was carrying, the aroma of porridge wafted out.

Jiang's father's index finger moved when he heard this, and he smacked his lips and shouted, "Hungry...eat."
