lovesickness?
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Is this disease just something made up in a novel? Does it really exist in the world?
This is ridiculous!
Seeing their disbelief, Su Yingxue quickly opened the medical book and said, "This is our family's ancestral ancient medical book from the Song Dynasty—'Xuanyi Lun' (Treatise on Mysterious Hysteria). It specifically records some mental illnesses or hysteria. This page mentions 'lovesickness.' You may not understand the classical Chinese, but roughly translated, it means: when a patient loves another person and doesn't receive reciprocation or when the other person is not present, they experience negative feelings. This condition is considered an illness. As time goes by, the symptoms persist, including loss of appetite and insomnia… In 'Dream of the Red Chamber,' Lin Daiyu suffered from this illness. Those who have it will have their health deteriorate day by day, eventually dying peacefully!"
Su Yingxue spoke eloquently, saying a great deal.
Now everyone believed it, because these symptoms perfectly matched Liu Siyun's! Who would have thought that lovesickness really was an illness!
Liu Zhongyi hurriedly asked, "Then, Physician Su, since this disease is recorded in the ancient book, there must be a way to treat it, right?"
The other two girls also looked over quickly, their eyes filled with hope. Now, they were both Liu Siyun's best friends, and naturally, they hoped that Liu Siyun could get better.
Su Yingxue hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "There are indeed records of treatments for lovesickness in ancient books. There are two methods: one is psychological treatment, and the other is medical treatment!"
Liu Zhongyi was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What is a healer of the heart? What is a healer of the body?"
Su Yingxue replied, "The so-called cure for the heart means that a heart ailment needs a heart remedy. As long as Miss Liu can achieve a happy ending with her beloved, this heart ailment will naturally be cured!"
"Uh, this..." Liu Zhongyi's face immediately turned awkward.
The other two women also shook their heads slightly.
Who is Liu Siyun's sweetheart?
They knew perfectly well what was going on.
It's Mr. Lin!
However, Mr. Lin is a married man, and he has made it clear that he will not have a relationship with Liu Siyun, and even said that if there is no need to meet again, they should not meet.
Having said all that, it's clear that nothing will ever come of it between the two of them.
To put it bluntly, in the current situation, even being friends is difficult.
Liu Zhongyi sighed deeply and said to Su Yingxue, "Doctor Su, it seems that this remedy for the heart is difficult to achieve. Is there no other way?"
Su Yingxue nodded, "Then only medicine remains, but that's probably even more difficult than healing the heart! Because to cure lovesickness, a special medicinal herb is needed, one that hasn't been seen for many years..."
Liu Zhongyi's old body trembled, and he hurriedly asked, "Doctor Su, may I ask what kind of medicine it is? As long as you can tell me, I will search the entire Guanzhong Plain to buy it!"
Su Yingxue hesitated for a moment, then slowly uttered three words, "Dragon-Toad-Fragrance!"
"Dragon Toad Incense?" Liu Zhongyi's eyes widened in shock. "Are you sure it's Dragon Toad Incense?"
Su Yingxue was slightly taken aback. "What, Elder Liu, you also know about Dragon Toad Incense?"
Liu Zhongyi nodded, his expression complex, and said, "Dragon Toad Incense is made from an ancient species—the dragon toad. It is dried, ground into powder, and mixed with musk and ambergris. In ancient times, Dragon Toad Incense was an extremely precious medicinal material. It is said that at that time, a piece the size of a thumb could sell for ten thousand taels of gold!"
"Ten thousand taels of gold?" Jiang Ruoyi and Tan Qingqing couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement.
My goodness, this isn't just a fragrance, it's a priceless treasure!
Su Yingxue nodded and said, "Indeed, Dragon Toad Incense was an extremely precious medicinal material in ancient times. Its medicinal properties are unique and can achieve the effect of attracting the soul. There are many drugs on the market that have the effect of calming the soul, but once the soul is lost, only Dragon Toad Incense can bring it back. This is something that other kinds of medicines cannot replace!"
"Later, this Dragon Toad Incense became a royal delicacy, and ordinary people were forbidden from buying or selling it. If caught, they would be beheaded! Moreover, about a thousand years ago, the Dragon Toad was completely extinct, and the amount of Dragon Toad Incense in stock became less and less. Now, it has not appeared in the world for a hundred years!" Su Yingxue sighed, with a hint of helplessness on her face.
Liu Zhongyi's eyes flickered as he asked, "Doctor Su, are you sure that as long as we have Dragon Toad Incense, you can definitely cure my granddaughter?"
Su Yingxue paused for a moment, then nodded. "That's natural. As long as we use the Dragon Toad Incense to retrieve her soul and provide psychological counseling to raise her Yang energy, the demonic obstacles in her heart will naturally dissipate. Once her mind recovers its self-healing ability, her body will no longer deteriorate!"
For all illnesses, medication is one aspect, but ultimately, we must rely on the body's and mind's self-healing abilities.
Some people only know that the body has the ability to heal itself, but the mind is the same.
If a person is under a lot of pressure and is on the verge of collapse, perhaps one of the things that happens today will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back, and they will eventually choose suicide.
But if you encounter something heartwarming, the gloom in your heart may be temporarily swept away, and you will have the motivation to live on again.
Sometimes, life and death are separated by a single thought.
This is Traditional Chinese Medicine!
Hearing Su Yingxue say this, Liu Zhongyi nodded and said seriously, "Alright, in that case, I'll go back and get the Dragon Toad Incense!"
Su Yingxue froze, then asked in shock, "You mean... your Liu family has Dragon Toad Incense?"
She found it incredible.
Dragon Toad Incense has been absent from the world for a century and has never been seen at auctions.
I never imagined the Liu family would possess such a divine object!
