Anyway, items redeemed with points won't expire if stored in the warehouse.
It will come in handy someday.
Seeing that Emperor Ganwu had not yet made a statement, the other ministers were also hesitant and conflicted.
Yao Tianzheng spoke again, "Your Majesty! This old minister believes that regardless of whether Mr. Sun needs medication, he should be allowed to make a diagnosis first!"
"Mr. Sun's medical skills are superb and unpredictable. Perhaps after his personal diagnosis, he will arrive at a different result than the old minister and the four imperial physicians!"
"Yes, yes, Lord Yao is right."
"Your Majesty, I second that proposal!"
"I second that proposal..."
The wind direction shifted slightly in an instant.
Although the diagnosis results are likely to be similar 99% of the time, at the very least, the diagnosis is neither medication nor treatment.
People say that Sun Jian had the medical skill to bring the dead back to life, and he could even distinguish the genuine from the fake with a diagnosis.
After a long silence, Emperor Ganwu finally spoke: "Very well, then please, Minister Sun, diagnose me first!"
"I obey the decree!"
Sun Jian cupped his hands in response.
In any case, whether it's diagnosis or treatment, we can't get past this hurdle.
Regardless of whether you know how or not, you still have to go through the necessary procedures.
It would be extremely unprofessional to start treating a patient without first making a diagnosis.
When the four imperial physicians standing beside Emperor Qianwu's dragon bed saw Sun Jian approaching, they quickly made room for him.
Sun Jian then put on a mysterious air and placed three fingers on Emperor Ganwu's pulse.
Close your eyes and truly feel it.
In fact, Sun Jian didn't understand proper pulse diagnosis at all, nor did he understand what symptoms corresponded to different pulse patterns.
He only had a superficial understanding of medical knowledge and knew very little about pulse diagnosis. At most, he knew which organs corresponded to the "Guan, Chi, Cun" pulses on his left and right hands.
However, Sun Jian was unclear about how specific problems with the internal organs would manifest in the pulse.
Not knowing the pulse pattern doesn't mean you can't feel its strength with your hands!
Anyone with a little medical knowledge should know that there are two types of pulses that are the easiest to distinguish.
One is a death pulse, and the other is a pregnancy pulse.
The pulse of death is like a sparrow's pecking, weak and feeble, almost imperceptible, and can only be faintly felt by pressing hard on the pulse.
On the contrary, the pulse of pregnancy is strong and powerful, like a fine needle or a rolling bead, which can be felt by lightly touching it with your finger.
It just so happens that Sun Jian could only roughly guess the two pulses.
Emperor Ganwu's pulse clearly indicated that he was nearing death.
It's only slightly better than the death pulse...
Even Sun Jian, who wasn't a doctor, could sense these things, let alone Yao Tianzheng and the four imperial physicians.
Even though he managed to find it, Sun Jian still had to put on a show.
How could Sun Jian possibly treat the second emperor so casually? Besides, he guessed that even if a few ministers tried to stop him, Emperor Ganwu would still ask him to treat him.
There was no reason, it was just a feeling!
Sun Jian felt that Emperor Ganwu would definitely not let him miss the opportunity to treat him!
Even if he himself doesn't believe he can succeed, he will definitely make himself try.
Since that's the case, then he should play his part fully, so that at least in the eyes of outsiders, he can be truly worthy of being called a medical god.
If someone were to start treating patients simply by taking their pulse, they would not only be seen as someone without medical skills, but they might even be accused of deceiving the emperor.
Sun Jian was naturally not that foolish. Even if he was 100% certain that he could save Emperor Ganwu, he still had to follow the proper procedures.
Everyone standing here is a shrewd and capable individual. No step or step can be omitted.
He saw Sun Jian close his eyes and sense his pulse.
At that moment, everyone held their breath, not daring to breathe loudly, their eyes fixed on the changes in Sun Jian's facial expression.
Their hearts were in their throats, and the hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone wanted to see and hear this, so Sun Jian smiled slightly, turned around, and told them that the problem wasn't serious and there was still a chance.
But everyone knew in their hearts that perhaps those two words were just wishful thinking, and there was absolutely no such possibility.
"Sir, how is it?"
"How is... how is His Majesty the Lord?"
"General Sun, please speak! Is His Majesty's illness curable?"
...
Emperor Ganwu also turned his gaze to Sun Jian's face, seemingly hoping to hear some good news.
Everyone's breathing became rapid.
After taking his pulse, Sun Jian stood up with a solemn expression.
He remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking.
"Your Majesty, I have a thorough understanding of your symptoms."
"How...how..."
Emperor Ganwu was excited.
This is something that concerns his own life and fortune; how could he not value it?
The ministers around Sun Jian were on tenterhooks upon hearing his words, and they all wished he would explain himself immediately!
But Sun Jian couldn't possibly explain these things clearly; he simply didn't understand them.
He was deliberately keeping everyone in suspense, hoping to extract useful information from the four imperial physicians and Yao Tianzheng.
Simply put, it was about learning about Emperor Qianwu's physical condition from these real doctors, and then combining that knowledge with his own later nursing skills to prescribe the right medicine.
Sun Jian feigned a gloomy expression, "The situation is rather complicated, and extremely troublesome!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room felt their spirits plummet.
They all looked like they were about to cry!
But Sun Jian's next words caused everyone's mindset to completely reverse, as if Sun Jian had taken them on a roller coaster ride.
"It's tricky as it is! But it's not entirely without hope!"
"I believe there is still a one percent chance..."
"This slim possibility lies with a few imperial physicians and Lord Yao!"
"Me...we?"
The four imperial physicians pointed to themselves in astonishment, not understanding what Sun Jian meant.
For so many years, they have been working to treat Emperor Ganwu's illness. If there had been even a glimmer of hope, the illness would not have dragged on until now, beyond anyone's control.
The only reason for this situation was their lack of medical skills, but Sun Jian's statement that he hoped to find the answers in them left the four imperial physicians completely baffled.
Compared to the four imperial physicians, Yao Tianzheng was much smarter.
He instantly understood Sun Jian's implication and hurriedly asked excitedly, "Sir, do you mean to understand the development of His Majesty's health over the past few years in order to prescribe medicine?"
Sun Jian nodded, affirming Yao Tianzheng's words.
Lord Yao truly lives up to his name; his mind is indeed sharp.
"Lord Yao is right!"
"That is exactly what I meant!"
"Your Majesty, I did not begin to diagnose or treat you from the beginning, therefore I have no knowledge of Your Majesty's actual physical condition or the progression of your illness over the past few years!"
"And what medications were taken during that period? What kind of treatment did they receive? I have no idea!"
