168 You're Thinking Too Much, I'm Just a Doctor
Who is Feng Qingchen?
The toughest guy in the imperial city!
She was not a good person at all, as she could make the Queen and Princess Anping suffer, and was able to save her life at the hands of Dongling Ziluo. Sun Zhengdao welcomed her into the mansion, but it would not be easy to send her out again.
Add to that Madam Sun who was waiting for her to treat her, and Sun Sixing who admired her to bits, and Sun Zhengdao was completely unable to resist.
Feng Qingchen took out antispasmodics and analgesics from the smart medical kit and suppressed Mrs. Sun's pain. In just a few moves, Sun Zhengdao was stunned. Sun Zhengxing himself admired Feng Qingchen, so he had to become her apprentice.
If Feng Qingchen had not declined, saying that she would have to test him after Madam Sun recovered from her illness before discussing the matter of becoming his disciple, Sun Zhengxing would probably have immediately informed his colleagues in the medical field that he would take Feng Qingchen as his disciple.
Although this group did not become disciples, they performed the etiquette of disciples in front of Feng Qingchen.
Feng Qingchen's persuasion was ineffective, and Sun Zhengdao refused to allow it, so she had to follow his advice. She told Madam Sun to stay in bed and rest, and only eat easily digestible liquid food. She also left a box of Shudantong, and went out with Sun Zhengdao and his son.
If Sun Zhengdao still had doubts, then after seeing the pills Feng Qingchen took out, he was almost as nervous as Sun Zhengxing.
The pills that Feng Qingchen took out were definitely not something that ordinary people could make, but Sun Zhengdao and Sun Sixing were definitely smart people and knew what to ask and what not to ask. Besides, Sun Sixing would have to worship Feng Qingchen as his master sooner or later, and as Feng Qingchen's only disciple, he would know it sooner or later.
Sun Zhengdao's attitude towards Feng Qingchen also changed from being distant to being fanatical and worshipful, but Sun Zhengdao was much more restrained. However, it was still enough to give Feng Qingchen a headache.
She was used to being thanked and admired by the patients' families, but being regarded as an idol by her colleagues, a master of medicine whom she also admired, made Feng Qingchen feel ashamed. Her explanations were only regarded as self-deprecation, so Feng Qingchen simply kept silent.
Sun Zhengdao understood the principle of returning a favor, and immediately told Feng Qingchen: "The Ninth Prince seems to be acting strangely in the prison, and the Emperor will sooner or later order the imperial physician to go and treat him. If I am right, the Emperor will most likely send me, but based on the Emperor's behavior, it may take some time."
Although it is said that all under heaven belongs to the king and all the people in the world are his subjects, in reality, there are many places that the emperor cannot control.
Although the Ninth Prince does not have real power, the Emperor does not dare to underestimate him. The prison is not impenetrable, and the Ninth Prince is not completely powerless.
If the Ninth Prince was really a vegetarian, he would have died long ago.
Feng Qingchen nodded without saying much. Although severe allergies can cause respiratory obstruction or vascular atrophy and be fatal, she knew that the Ninth Prince's allergies would at most cause him some suffering but would not kill him.
Besides, it is impossible that the Ninth Prince is completely unprepared.
"Doctor Sun arranged for me to go there, will everything be okay?" It's not too late to ask now.
Sun Zhengdao shook his head: "Miss Feng, don't worry. I am obsessed with medicine and never ask about government affairs. I brought Miss Feng in only to treat Uncle Nine. Besides, if Miss Feng can go in, it must be either with the emperor's permission or Uncle Nine has arranged it."
Being a royal physician is a high-risk profession. One has to move among important people every day, and one could lose his head if he is not careful.
It’s not good to be too clean, but it’s not good to be too clean either.
Sun Zhengdao grasped this balance just right. He was calm, bold and careful, and was born to be in the officialdom.
But Sun Sixing can't...
Sun Sixing is a stubborn person. He is a good doctor but can never be a good imperial physician. So when Sun Sixing said he wanted to learn medicine from Feng Qingchen, although Sun Zhengdao was dissatisfied at first, he did not refuse too strongly.
Feng Qingchen was relieved, knowing that they would not be able to enter the palace for a while, so he turned the topic to Madam Sun's illness, and Feng Qingchen's treatment method was...
"Open the abdomen? Remove it? Miss Feng, are you confident?" The doctor was indeed a doctor. His ability to accept things was much higher than that of ordinary people. After hearing Feng Qingchen's medical methods, Sun Zhengdao not only did not jump out, but instead fell into deep thought.
He had thought of this method before, but unfortunately he was only 10% sure.
"Seventy percent."
"What if they don't open the stomach?" Sun Zhengdao always emphasizes stability when practicing medicine.
There is no other way. To cure the bad habits developed by treating the emperor and the princes, we should seek safety rather than speed. This is the key to saving their lives.
"Doctor Sun, you should understand that your wife's condition is not optimistic. If you don't open her stomach and remove the necrotic part, her condition will only get worse and worse, and in the end, no medicine can cure her."
Feng Qingchen was not exaggerating. Madam Sun's condition was not optimistic and she had to undergo surgery as soon as possible.
If Mrs. Sun's illness is delayed, it cannot be cured by Chinese medicine, and will become more and more serious, causing complications such as cholangitis and biliary pancreatitis, which will be even more difficult to treat. At that time, the gallbladder will be severely adhered to the surrounding area and the anatomical relationship will be unclear, making the operation more difficult.
Sun Zhengdao was still hesitating, but Sun Sixing was a medical fanatic. He had participated in the treatment of Dong Ling Ziluo, and was moved by Feng Qingchen's perfect treatment method. Now when he heard Feng Qingchen talking about the technique of opening the chest, he immediately became interested. He pulled Feng Qingchen to ask questions and repeatedly expressed his hope to participate in person.
Feng Qingchen discovered that although Sun Sixing had no surgical experience, he always asked the right questions. Feng Qingchen became interested and told Sun Sixing some surgical matters and techniques without hesitation.
The more Sun Sixing listened, the more he admired her, and his determination to become her apprentice became stronger. Feng Qingchen also felt that Sun Sixing was a good candidate for studying Western medicine, and became even more enthusiastic. In her eyes, Sun Sixing had become a backup surgical assistant.
The more Sun Zhengdao listened to the conversation between the two, the more he was shocked. When he heard Feng Qingchen talking about disinfection, knife techniques, hemostasis, blood vessel management, and organs in the human body, he became more and more fascinated. He kept nodding his head and adding a few words from time to time.
Who is Sun Zhengdao? He is a master of traditional Chinese medicine. Although he did not study Western medicine, his medical knowledge is beyond the reach of Feng Qingchen. The more Feng Qingchen listened, the more delighted he became, and he asked more and more questions.
The three of them held a small-scale exchange meeting between Chinese and Western medicine. Ahem, this should be the earliest exchange meeting between Chinese and Western medicine in history. If future generations knew about it, they would probably be grateful to Feng Qingchen and Sun Zhengdao for their contributions to the medical cause.
Feng Qingchen and Sun Zhengdao thus became close friends regardless of age difference. The three of them chatted happily until someone from the palace came to summon Sun Zhengdao to the palace. Only then did they suddenly realize that it was dark...
They blamed the servants for not reminding them, and the servants stood aside feeling aggrieved.
They shouted dozens of times, but these three people seemed to be possessed and ignored them.
Feng Qingchen was secretly annoyed, but also glad at the same time. If it weren't for the father and son of the Sun family, she would have been worried all day. This conversation eliminated the uneasiness in her heart.
"Sixing, take your little master to change clothes." Sun Zhengdao was a careful person. Since he was going to take Feng Qingchen with him, he would not let anyone catch him in public.
Inside the prison, the Ninth Prince sat against the wall with a pale face. His face was flushed and his lips were purple. It was obvious that he was in great pain, but his mind was not on the pain at all. He was only thinking about how to get the things out...
The emperor acted too quickly, beyond his expectations, and he didn't have time to arrange many things...
I’ll give you three updates first, and I’ll add another update tomorrow, okay… tears!
