After leaving Su Xuening's room, Xuan Yuanzhan went to the guest room to watch over Mu Junyu.
With Xuan Yuanzhan's replacement, Su Xuening and Su Yun'an both got a good night's sleep.
The group stayed in the bamboo house in the western suburbs for five or six days. During these five or six days, Xuan Yuanzhan, Su Xuening, and Su Yun'an took turns keeping watch over Mu Junyu at night.
After resting for a few days, Jinzhu's pain had subsided, but Mu Junyu still hadn't woken up.
Seeing Mu Junyu, who remained unconscious and grew increasingly thin, Su Yun'an was extremely anxious: "Master, why hasn't my mother woken up yet?"
Not to mention Su Yun'an, even Su Xuening was anxious, looking at Pei Luo: "In theory, Mother should wake up in two or three days at most, why has it been five or six days and she still hasn't woken up."
Pei Luo was also puzzled. The spinal surgery went smoothly. Even if she couldn't move for the time being, she would still wake up. Where did things go wrong?
"You all go out for a bit, girl stay here."
At Pei Luo's command, Su Yun'an, Xuan Yuanzhan, and Jin Zhu all obediently went out.
Pei Luo and Su Xuening examined Mu Junyu again, but they found nothing wrong until they examined Mu Junyu's brain.
Pei Luo pressed Mu Junyu's head for a while, then suddenly looked at Su Xuening: "Girl, come and touch it!"
Su Xuening immediately went over and, under Pei Luo's instructions, began to pat Mu Junyu's head.
Soon, she pressed on a lump.
Su Xuening was slightly startled and immediately looked at Pei Luo: "Master, is the reason why Mother has been unconscious all this time because of this lump?"
Pei Luo did not answer, but carefully examined Mu Junyu's head again, and even sat down to take Mu Junyu's pulse.
After probing for a long time, Pei Luo remained silent, and Su Xuening dared not disturb her, so she could only patiently wait by her side.
Half an incense stick later, Pei Luo seemed to have discovered something. He frowned and examined it again, as if to confirm something.
Seeing Pei Luo's change in expression, Su Xuening suddenly felt a little flustered.
What did Master discover? But has Mother's condition changed?
Just as Su Xuening was feeling uneasy, Pei Luo suddenly stood up: "Girl, take her pulse."
Su Xuening dared not delay and immediately went over to check Mu Junyu's pulse.
Su Xuening examined him for a long time before she finally seemed to have discovered something. She looked up at Pei Luo in surprise and said, "This pulse wasn't like this before today!"
During the past few days that her mother has been in a coma, she has checked her mother's pulse every day. Her mother did not have this kind of pulse before!
Pei Luo frowned as she looked at Mu Junyu, who was sleeping soundly on the bed: "What did you find out?"
"It seems like something is pressing on the meridians in Mother's brain," Su Xuening had just discovered. "Is that lump the reason Mother has been in a coma?"
Pei Luo pondered for a moment and shook his head: "I don't think so. This lump should have been caused when your mother fell off the cliff, but the pressure on the meridians in your mother's brain should be an old injury."
"An old injury?" Su Xuening frowned in confusion. "But my mother was always in good health before."
"Besides this obvious lump on the outside, your mother should also have an old lump inside her skull. This fall from the cliff impacted her brain, causing both new and old injuries. The external injury compressed the lump inside her skull, pressing on the nerves, which is why she is currently in a coma." Pei Luo calmly analyzed, having already found the cause of the illness.
Su Xuening was stunned. She had never known that her mother had a lump in her skull before, let alone that she had an old injury in her head.
She had checked her mother's pulse before. Her mother knew about her studying medicine and was very supportive, so she often checked her mother's pulse before. However, she had never found that her mother had such an old injury.
Su Xuening felt ashamed. Her medical skills were still lacking. If she had discovered her mother's condition earlier, her mother wouldn't be in such a serious state now!
Seeing Su Xuening's self-reproachful expression, Pei Luo patted her shoulder to comfort her, saying, "It's not that you're not skilled enough. It's that your mother had no symptoms before. Just like how we examined her so many times before, we couldn't find anything. Even yesterday, your mother's pulse was normal. If it weren't for this fall and impact, perhaps the symptoms in her brain wouldn't have appeared. So this has nothing to do with our medical skills."
Reminded by Pei Luo, Su Xuening immediately recalled the situation when she checked her mother's pulse before, and indeed, she couldn't detect anything at all.
Not only her, but even her master couldn't detect it, so her mother's symptoms must have just appeared.
"Your mother hadn't shown any unusual symptoms before, did she often have headaches or anything like that?"
Pei Luo found it strange; how could someone with such a large lump in her brain not experience any symptoms at all?
Su Xuening thought about it carefully, then shook her head: "My mother has never had a headache, but..."
Su Xuening seemed to have thought of something, and looked up, saying, "Mother doesn't seem to remember her past."
Pei Luo suddenly narrowed his eyes: "You mean she had amnesia before?"
Su Xuening also said it was hard to say: "My mother never talks to us about her past. Sometimes when we ask her, she says she can't remember. But she has never told us specifically that she has amnesia."
Moreover, when she was little, her father would become very serious whenever she asked her mother about her past, and he would sternly warn her several times not to ask any more questions, so she stopped asking after that.
In fact, she didn't figure out whether her mother didn't want to talk about the past or simply didn't remember it.
Unfortunately, my mother is now in a coma and my father has passed away, so I don't know if there will ever be a chance to verify these things.
Pei Luo frowned: "That might be amnesia, probably caused by a mass in her brain. It just didn't show up on her pulse before, so the previous doctor didn't detect it."
Pei Luo then asked curiously, "What about your mother's other relatives? Don't they know that your mother has amnesia?"
"It seems that my mother was brought back from the battlefield by my father. Apart from me and Yun'an, she has no other blood relatives in Kyoto."
Speaking of this, Su Xuening suddenly realized that she knew nothing about her mother's past.
Neither her father nor mother ever mentioned it. Was it because her mother had amnesia? Or perhaps she simply didn't want to talk about it? And what about her father? He had once so sternly warned her, so he must know something!
Where is my mother from? Are her parents and relatives still alive?
Pei Luo suddenly realized: "I see, no wonder no one knows about your mother's amnesia."
"Master, now that we've found the root of the problem, can you cure my mother?" Su Xuening looked at Pei Luo expectantly.
Pei Luo laughed: "You have your own way, don't you?"
Su Xuening nodded.
She did indeed have a way to cure her mother!
