Chapter 469: I might have a heart disease
Xie Tao looked at Xie Yingmian with almost pleading eyes.
Xie Yingmian stared at Xie Tao for a moment, then asked the maids and guards to leave.
After everyone left.
Xie Tao stammered, "I... am sick."
Xie Tao looked at Xie Yingmian eagerly, as if waiting for Xie Yingmian to ask him something.
Xie Yingmian had no expression on her face.
Xie Tao had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Yes, it's a heart disease."
"The court doctor and those famous doctors outside all said it was syphilis."
"I originally thought the doctors had misdiagnosed me. I was in good health and there was no way I could get this kind of disease. Until I developed an abscess."
Xie Tao was about to cry.
It is common knowledge that syphilis cannot be cured.
People like him who have developed abscesses usually don't live more than three to five years, and if they are lucky, they can live for seven or eight years at most.
He didn't believe in evil and spent a lot of money to see countless well-known doctors.
When the doctors saw the abscesses on his body, they were so frightened that they stepped back several steps, returned all the silver to him, and refused to see him.
No one dared to treat him, and he was basically sentenced to death.
Xie Tao's face turned pale: "I really can't help it."
"All the doctors were helpless. No one dared to treat me, and they wouldn't even let me in."
"You are the disciple of the Gu Saint. You can bring Duke Ning back to life. You can save the Grand Princess. Other doctors can't do it, but you definitely can."
"Help me."
"Since you call me father, please save me." Xie Tao was crying and snotting.
Xie Yingmian remained indifferent.
Xie Tao performed for a long time, but there was no movement from Xie Yingmian, which was a bit awkward.
"Yingmian..."
"You can definitely cure it, right?"
"You are the disciple of the Gu Saint. You can bring the dead back to life, so you can definitely cure it, right?"
Xie Yingmian asked, "Did Hongyao ask you to come?"
Xie Tao's thoughts were exposed, and he said with an embarrassed look: "Hong Yao served you before, so she is quite familiar with your medical skills."
Xie Yingmian sneered in his heart.
If Xie Tao gets syphilis, Hong Yao won't be able to escape either.
Venereal disease mainly corresponds to syphilis in modern medicine.
Syphilis is caused by infection with Treponema pallidum, and the course of the disease is divided into primary, secondary and tertiary stages.
Primary syphilis is mainly manifested by small red spots, which quickly develop into chancres. This stage is highly contagious.
Secondary syphilis presents as macules, papules, maculopapules, and pustules.
The abscesses that appeared on Lord Xie's body were manifestations of secondary syphilis.
When it reaches the third stage, it becomes life-threatening.
The medical technology of this era has no way to cure this internal disease, it can only relieve the patient's pain.
Having this disease is literally a death sentence.
Men like Xie Tao, who come from aristocratic families, know how to have fun, but they are more afraid of death.
Prostitution is very common, and most of them only choose innocent girls who have never served men.
Even if they did not choose Qingbai Jizi, before Jizi served them, they would find someone to take Jizi's pulse to confirm that she had no symptoms.
It was indeed a bit unexpected for her that Xie Tao would suffer from this disease.
Xie Tao was very worried when he saw that Xie Yingmian had not moved for a long time.
Xie Yingmian was his last straw.
If Xie Yingmian couldn't do anything about it, he could only wait for death.
"Yingmian, you..."
"Have you ever heard of the affordable medical clinic, Lord Xie?" Xie Yingmian interrupted him.
Xie Tao didn't understand.
Of course he had heard of affordable medical clinics.
After he fell ill, he changed his name and went to almost all the major medical clinics in the capital.
Affordable medical clinics are also among them.
He also secretly made an appointment with Doctor Cui.
After seeing the abscess on his body, Doctor Cui told him to go back and eat and drink, and enjoy his last days.
Xie Tao hesitated, "I... I've already been to an affordable clinic and specifically made an appointment with Cui Yi, but Cui Yi can't treat me."
Xie Yingmian: "Then do you know that I'm the owner of the affordable medical clinic?"
Xie Tao was stunned.
Xie Yingmian said, "Go to the affordable clinic and tell the information desk that you want to make an appointment with me."
"You need to confirm the specific registration date with the information desk. You should be able to get a number within seven days."
Xie Tao's heart moved: "You mean..."
Xie Yingmian: "I can cure your illness."
Secondary venereal disease can be treated.
In this era, venereal disease is a terminal illness.
For her, no.
It would be a shame not to kill the sucker who comes to your door.
Xie Tao was overjoyed.
After he found out he had syphilis, his whole life fell apart.
In the past few months, he has been looking for medical treatment and medicine, but every time he goes, he goes with great excitement but returns disappointed.
Today, he finally experienced what it meant to finally experience the rain after a long drought.
"Very good."
"Very good!"
"I'm finally saved." Xie Tao couldn't contain his ecstasy.
Xie Yingmian said coldly, "Lord Xie, don't be too happy too soon. To treat your illness, you need a high consultation fee. Just for Lord Xie alone, if you want to be cured, it will cost at least 30,000 taels."
Xie Tao's heart suddenly sank.
Thirty thousand taels of silver was not a lot for the former marquis's mansion.
However, the Xie family has become more and more extravagant in recent years, but their income has not been much, otherwise they would not have come up with the idea of letting Xie Yingmian marry Prince Ling for a high betrothal gift.
After the last dowry scandal, in order to fill the hole, the Xie family almost used up all the money they could.
The Xie family is short of money, and perhaps they have enough money to treat him alone.
But he was not the only one suffering from syphilis.
His wife, his fourth brother, his son, the concubines in his courtyard, the maids and wives he had sex with, and Hongyao, all contracted syphilis.
Thirty thousand taels per person, and three hundred thousand taels for ten people.
The Marquis's Mansion could never come up with 300,000 taels.
Lord Xie already has a scale in his heart.
He didn't bother to exchange pleasantries and hurried home to raise money.
After Xie Tao left.
Xie Yingmian ordered people to burn all the things used by Xie Tao and disinfect the room thoroughly.
She came to the study.
Yu Lingye is looking at the blueprints.
Seeing Xie Yingmian's gloomy face, he put the blueprint down and asked, "Did Xie Tao give you a hard time?"
Xie Yingmian said: "No."
"Xie Tao asked me to treat him. He had syphilis and other doctors had given him a death sentence. He didn't want to die, so he came to me and asked me to treat him."
Yu Lingye raised his eyebrows: "Did you promise him?"
Xie Yingmian: "Promise, why wouldn't you agree to the sucker who's been offered to you?"
There is no cure for venereal disease in this era.
For her, all she needed was some potions.
She didn't need to make it herself, as it was kept in the medical cabin of the wreckage.
Generally speaking, on long-distance spacecraft, the medical cabin will store some commonly used quantum entanglements, which are generally upgraded antibiotics, to deal with various emergencies.
No one has ever touched the quantum entanglement element used to treat syphilis in the medical cabin.
The wreckage has been in this world for more than 20 years. Even if the medical cabin has preserved it well, those things are almost expired.
She could earn at least 30,000 taels of silver from an expired medicine. She would be foolish not to make the money.
Xie Yingmian sat across from Yu Lingye, holding her chin. "I'm treating Xie Tao. Earning money from the Xie family is part of the reason, but it's not the most important reason."
