Chapter 594 A Dream of Youth 126
This is a child who is about the same age as his daughter... Although he is as precocious as his eldest daughter, he is still young. A sense of guilt suddenly welled up in the emperor's heart.
Before he could back out, Xie Ning had already solemnly agreed, effectively silencing the emperor.
The emperor sighed inwardly. Oh well, Xie Wangzhi was in charge of the pharmacy anyway. Although Xie Ning was supposed to be in charge of the women's pharmacy, Xie Ning still had to rely on her father.
No matter how clever a child is, he won't understand these things.
"You're so dedicated to doing good deeds, I won't treat you badly." After saying that, he instructed Eunuch Ding to prepare a gift list and send it to the Xie residence.
The value of the palace's rewards alone is already more than what Xie Ning earns from his own dividends and small pharmacy. However, these rewards are all high-quality items, and apart from cloth, many of them are not easy to convert into cash.
Xie Ning suddenly stared at the Emperor without blinking, which puzzled the Empress and Yan Xi. "A-Ning, what's wrong with you?"
"Your Majesty, may I take your pulse?"
The emperor chuckled softly, then placed his hand on the pulse pillow. "Look, I'd like to know what you've figured out."
Xie Ning placed his fingers on the emperor's wrist, lowered his eyes slightly, and after a long while, asked, "Your Majesty, have you recently been experiencing mild dizziness and tinnitus? Also, have you been feeling weakness in your lower back and knees, accompanied by lower back pain and coldness, and your hands and feet are colder than usual? Have you been feeling irritable, suffering from insomnia and vivid dreams, and occasionally experiencing palpitations...?"
Xie Ning glanced at the emperor and continued to describe in detail the physical conditions he had perceived from the pulse. The emperor's surprise grew stronger. "You actually diagnosed everything just by taking the pulse?"
This is an admission, but most people consider such problems normal because they are simply caused by overwork.
The emperor was the supreme master, and the Imperial Medical Academy was extremely careful, naturally ensuring that the emperor's health would not be compromised.
After hearing Xie Ning say so much, the Empress was also afraid that something might really happen to the Emperor, so she was very nervous. "Quickly go and invite Imperial Physician Jiang, and yes, also invite Imperial Physician Mu over."
Jiang Yuanzheng and Imperial Physician Mu are the imperial physicians who usually take the emperor's pulse. Another imperial physician who can take the emperor's pulse is away on a business trip.
The Emperor patted the Empress's hand reassuringly, "It's just that I've been busy today and I'm a little tired. The symptoms Xie Ning mentioned are also mentioned by Imperial Physician Jiang. They're all from being tired. I'll be fine after a rest."
Then he looked at Xie Ning, signaling Xie Ning to explain, as the Empress was still pregnant with the Emperor's child and could not afford to lose her composure.
Before Xie Ning could speak, Yan Xi interjected, "Father, prevention is better than cure, and prevention is better than cure. Even the slightest discomfort should not be ignored. You would say that I am just a child, but do you think Father is afraid of drinking that bitter medicine?"
"How could that be? Father is an adult now. Alright, alright, let the imperial physician take a look."
Today, the Imperial Physician Jiang was not on duty. After taking the Empress's pulse, he left the palace, so it was Physician Mu and Physician Du, who were on duty, who came.
Xie Ning met Yan Xi's eyes, and the other girl winked playfully, revealing a small dimple on her face.
The arriving imperial physicians, Du and Mu, exchanged glances, stepped forward to take the emperor's pulse, and reached conclusions that were not much different from before, except that the emperor was more tired these past few days.
But the current ruler is very diligent, so even if you advise him to rest, it's useless.
Instead of discussing the illness in front of the Emperor and Empress, the group pulled Xie Ning aside. Physician Mu looked at Xie Ning, who only reached his chest, and asked gently, "Has A-Ning noticed anything else different?"
He was also Xie Ning's teacher, so it was normal for him to address Xie Ning more affectionately.
They didn't underestimate Xie Ning because of her age, after all, both of them had taught her.
Moreover, Xie Ning would occasionally bring snacks to exchange medical knowledge with them, so the two of them were quite familiar with Xie Ning's medical skills.
Although he lacks seniority, in terms of medical skills, especially in the areas of leukorrhea and acupuncture, Xie Ning is no worse than the newly recruited imperial physicians. However, each physician has their strengths and weaknesses, and generalizations cannot be made.
