Huh? They even have pulse diagnosis skills?
Su Wanyan glanced at the system, and the square for the [Pulse Diagnosis Skill] was indeed lit up at the top.
I've been wanting to activate acupuncture for a long time, but I accidentally activated [pulse diagnosis] first.
If she had known, she would have let Yu Nanqing touch her first in the mansion.
But that won't work either. Yu Nanqing has such a fragile heart; she'd probably get angry before we even get a chance to touch her.
Suddenly, Su Wanyan was stunned. Just a moment ago she knew nothing about pulse diagnosis, but in an instant, Su Wanyan could clearly feel that the woman in front of her had a weak and feeble pulse. She not only diagnosed the pulse but also knew that it was a symptom of yin and blood deficiency.
In addition, she also suffers from spleen and stomach deficiency, lethargy, and other symptoms.
Su Wanyan herself couldn't believe that she had actually diagnosed the old lady's illness.
Seeing Su Wanyan's incredulous expression, Da Nannan couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, is my mother... very ill?"
Su Wanyan was brought back to her senses by her words: "It's not that serious, but it's also serious."
This is true. The reason why the old lady is so weak is probably due to years of overwork. People who overwork become weaker as they get older, and eventually their internal organs will deteriorate.
So far, the old lady's condition has not progressed to a serious stage. Her bedridden state is due to a deficiency of heart blood. As long as she rests and recuperates properly and avoids overexertion, she will recover in time.
However, Su Wanyan did not say these words aloud, because she knew that for poor families, it was impossible not to work hard.
They would get up and work as soon as they had a little physical strength; if they didn't work, they wouldn't have anything to eat, and their livelihood would be in jeopardy.
Upon hearing this, Da Nannan exchanged a glance with her mother, unsure whether Su Wanyan's words were serious or not.
Su Wanyan was not in a hurry. She took out the acupuncture kit she had prepared in advance from her sleeve and slowly unfolded it.
"Auntie, let me give you an acupuncture now. If it works, it means there's still hope for you. What do you think?"
The woman knew nothing of these things. She simply accepted whatever Su Wanyan said, even nodding in confusion.
Su Wanyan was quite nervous about giving acupuncture to someone for the first time. She had given acupuncture before when she was in school, but she was really unsure about acupuncture.
To be on the safe side, before administering the acupuncture, she took out the book she had used to learn acupuncture on her own and turned to the section with the acupoint diagrams.
Seeing her like this, the old woman and her daughter exchanged glances again. This princess... doesn't seem very reliable.
Su Wanyan found an acupoint on the hand called Yangchi (阳池). This acupoint can relieve symptoms of qi and blood deficiency. The book also says that it can relieve symptoms of wind-cold.
She reached out and gently massaged the acupoints on the old woman's wrist with her thumb. After comparing them repeatedly, she felt that they were almost correct. Then, she used a thin silver needle and, with clumsy but accurate technique, inserted it into the acupoint.
"Ding-dong." A crisp sound rang out from the system: [Acupuncture skill successfully activated, congratulations.]
Su Wanyan was stunned before she could even smile. Congratulations?
The system even says congratulations?
That's really insightful.
The thought had barely formed when her mind was suddenly seized by a surge of knowledge; all the knowledge and theories related to acupuncture were crammed into her brain.
Lieque (LU7), Yinbao (KI1), Taichong (LR3), Quchi (LI11), and so on...
Su Wanyan experienced a moment of blurred vision, but her mind cleared up in the blink of an eye. Without even thinking, she could clearly perceive the location of all the acupoints in the old woman's body and was familiar with the function and purpose of each acupoint.
Su Wanyan's hands trembled slightly. Divine skill! This is simply divine skill!
I'm fucking comparable to a god!
From this day forward, with this divine skill in my hands, I will be able to slay gods and Buddhas alike, and who else but me will stand against me!
"Your Majesty?" Just as Su Wanyan was daydreaming, her thoughts were pulled back by the big girl: "You don't look too well."
Dreams are beautiful, but reality is harsh. Real life is just a mess, so where does the idea of "who else but me" come from?
Su Wanyan almost laughed at her own reaction, but she was still very happy to be able to activate her acupuncture skill. She didn't expect to succeed on the first try, which was a testament to her hard work and eagerness to learn over the years.
She snapped out of her reverie and asked with a smile, "Auntie, how are you feeling now?"
The woman's complexion visibly brightened: "Strange, I feel a bit lighter."
She, who was previously a little weak when speaking, no longer felt so stuffy in her chest.
"Does this mean my mother's illness can get better?" the eldest daughter asked excitedly.
You should know that her mother has been bedridden for several years. At first, she could still do some light needlework, but in the last two years, she has not been able to do needlework at all. She barely has the strength to even hold a needle.
Su Wanyan smiled and said, "Let's stop here for today. I need to process my joy properly. It's definitely going to get better. It's quite a coincidence. I got two doses of medicine from the clinic when I came here, which is just enough to treat your aunt's illness."
"Really?" The little girl's eyes lit up.
Su Wanyan took the two packets of medicine from Su Chien and handed them to the girl, saying, "Take one packet today and one packet tomorrow. Boil four bowls of water down to one bowl and have the old lady drink it."
The young girl was even more excited and knelt down immediately: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Su Wanyan had a headache and reached out to help her up: "Get up first, I haven't finished speaking yet."
"If you want your mother to get better, these two doses of medicine are far from enough. I'll bring a few more doses in a couple of days, and then I'll check on your mother's condition."
"Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!" The young girl, who had just been helped up, kowtowed again, repeatedly kowtowing to Su Wanyan.
Su Wanyan's head was buzzing with her movements.
That's the problem with people in ancient times; they always had to kneel down. If this continues, she'll lose a few years of her life.
Helping her up again, Su Wanyan put away her needle case and didn't dare to stay any longer. She stood up and said, "Auntie, please rest well. I'll come to see you again in a couple of days."
The old woman hurriedly instructed, "Young lady, quickly escort the princess."
Su Wanyan did not refuse. Before leaving, Su Wanyan's gaze fell on the sweet potato by the window again, and she asked curiously, "Why is that sweet potato placed by the window?"
There were baskets stored inside the house, which were hung from the roof beams by a rope. This family was extremely poor, so if the sweet potatoes were their staple food, they should have treasured them and hidden them away.
Da Nannan followed Su Wanyan's gaze and said with an embarrassed smile, "Your Highness, please forgive my rudeness. That was originally intended as a gift for a noble person, but..."
The young woman blushed and lowered her head shyly: "We don't have anything worthwhile to offer at home... that's why we put the sweet potato on the window to give to our distinguished guest."
