Lin Dan was tied up and taken to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion. Within half an hour, he had entered the main courtyard and became the eldest princess's guest of honor. She drank a bowl of ginger soup to warm herself up, and then she explained to the princess: "Your Highness's illness cannot be treated with either yin or yang supplements, otherwise the symptoms will only get worse."
The eldest princess was suddenly overwhelmed and said worriedly, "If the ordinary methods don't work, then how can I cure my illness?" It was not until then that she realized that it was not that the doctors in the Imperial Hospital were useless, but that her illness was too strange and could not be treated in an ordinary way.
Lin Dan pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "The gate of life is located in the lower part of the body, which is the source of the true fire and qi transformation of the human body. I will not replenish the Yin fire or the Yang fire, but directly use the medicine in the lower part of the body to replenish your true fire. When the true fire is strong, the Yang energy is strong, and when the Yang energy is strong, the Yin fire is stable. Then all your diseases will naturally disappear." After he finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and politely asked: "Where is my bamboo basket? There are my usual writing brush, ink, paper, and pulse pillow in it. I must carefully diagnose your pulse once before I can formulate a prescription."
The two senior palace maids hurried to the woodshed and took all of Lin Dan's things, even the small hoe covered in mud.
The princess pondered and said, "Instead of replenishing the Yang Fire or Yin Fire, you replenish the True Fire directly? Very good, Doctor Lin is indeed a skilled doctor who is not bound by any rules!"
The most taboo in medicine is to use overly forceful methods. It is better to go through more trouble and use more medicinal herbs than to take the direct approach. But Lin Dan is completely different. Her vision and thinking often help her to ignore superficial symptoms and see directly the most essential inner qualities. This also leads to her being bolder than ordinary doctors when using medicines and acupuncture, and even more skilled than her famous ancestor.
But she only practiced medicine in the countryside, and most of the patients she cured were ignorant and didn't even know they were suffering from terminal illnesses. How could they know the level of her medical skills? The patient did not find it strange, as she had an ancestor who had made great achievements as a reference, so naturally she did not know what realm she was in.
If the treatment plan she easily worked out were to be made known to the outside world, it would surely shock the entire medical community. Other doctors couldn't even find the cause of the disease, but she could accurately judge it with just one glance and come up with the most time-saving and labor-saving treatment method. What an extraordinary medical skill!
The princess felt more and more anxious as she thought about it. She pointed at her son and said, "Doctor Lin, how do you think my son's illness should be treated?"
Zhu Yimin hurriedly hid behind his mother, but was forcefully pulled out by her and pushed in front of Lin Dan. He quickly crossed one hand over his chest and covered his face with the other, like a little girl who had been molested.
Lin Dan pulled his hand away and said, "Can you take off your clothes so I can see? When did this disease start? What are the symptoms?"
"It has been two months since I got sick. First, I had a dull pain in my scrotum, which became red and swollen. Then my chest became increasingly swollen, I had many dreams at night, I was irritable, had poor appetite, had dry and hard stools, and had unbearable pain and swelling in both sides of my ribs. My skin became smooth and my beard stopped growing." The eldest princess waved her sleeves, and two senior palace maids immediately captured the young master and stripped off his clothes in a few seconds.
Zhu Yimin screamed and covered his chest with all his might, his fair cheeks flushed red. If you pour a bucket of water on his head at this moment, he will definitely smoke.
"Why are you hiding it? I have what you have too." Lin Dan's words made him shut up completely.
The eldest princess's mouth twitched, and she seemed to want to laugh, but she held it back. This was the first smile she had shown since her son fell ill.
Lin Dan pinched the young master's chest, felt his pulse carefully, and waved his hand, saying, "It's not a big problem. It's just an inflammation in the scrotum. It has not been treated for a long time, so it has led to the depletion of Yang fluid. Just eliminate the inflammation, replenish Yang essence, dissolve the liver and stomach qi, soften the hard masses and disperse the nodules. If you want to get better faster, I will prepare a few doses of Huichun Powder for him, mix it with water into a paste, apply it to the affected area, twice a day, one to two hours each time, and the disease will be gone within seven days."
The princess was filled with gratitude and said, "If the symptoms can really be eliminated in seven days, Doctor Lin will be the great benefactor of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion! Thank you Doctor Lin for treating my son regardless of past grudges. Thank you very much!"
Zhu Yimin looked at Lin Dan with sparkling eyes, as if he wanted to thank her but was too shy to say it.
Lin Dan didn't even look at him. He took out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, wrote a few prescriptions, and asked the princess to send someone to get the medicine. After that, he bowed and said, "Neither of your illnesses is a big problem. Since the symptoms have not subsided, I'm afraid you are worried about me leaving the mansion. Why don't you arrange for me to stay?"
The eldest princess was thinking about how to keep the person firmly but politely, but she didn't expect that she spoke first, which saved her a lot of trouble. Even a noble person like the princess would not dare to offend a doctor with such great medical skills. Fortunately, the other party was a very knowledgeable and interesting person, and it was comfortable to interact with him.
The princess's affection for Lin Dan grew stronger and stronger. She quickly held her hand and said in a friendly tone, "It is my honor to have Doctor Lin stay in the mansion. Scallops and peaches, quickly take Doctor Lin back to Hibiscus Pavilion to wash up!"
Furong Pavilion is the most luxurious courtyard in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion. The princess will only let people stay overnight when royal relatives come. But today, she invited Lin Dan to stay, which shows how much she values Lin Dan.
The two palace maids did not dare to be negligent at all. One helped to carry the backpack and the other helped to hold the hoe. They took the person away very attentively. The young master then came to the eldest princess and asked with tears in his eyes, "Mother, can I really get better? My illness is just caused by inflammation, not the yin and yang thing."
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid! Doctor Lin has already said that as long as the inflammation is eliminated and the nodules are softened and dispersed, you will be cured. If you are a yin and yang body, how could she not see it? Just stay home and get treatment, and don't run around!" The eldest princess comforted him with her words, but her heart was hanging high, fearing that Lin Dan had misdiagnosed him. But Lin Dan was the most reliable and sharpest-eyed doctor she had ever met. If she couldn't even trust Lin Dan, she really didn't know who to trust.
…………
Lin Dan found the place to go, but the Xue Mansion was in chaos because Xue Boyong hurried back after receiving the news and ordered the guards to tie up Xue Jiming, hang him on the door beam and whip him.
Xue Jiming cried out in injustice, his voice so loud that everyone in the house could hear him: "Brother, I am doing this for your own good! Lin Dan can't understand those books, why don't you lend them to Zheng Zhe and Xiao Cao'er? Their medical skills are many times better than hers, if they get inspired, they may be able to cure your legs. Good things can only be useful when they are in the hands of people who know the value of them. Lin Dan pretended to hold those books and read them, and now it has been more than a year. What did she see? Brother, you are a dog biting Lu Dongbin, you don't know a good person's heart! It's just a few books, and you whipped me with a whip. In your heart, is Lin Dan more important than your own brother?"
The old lady and Mrs. Xue surrounded Xue Boyong and tried to persuade him, but they did not dare to take away his whip, for fear of knocking him off the wheelchair and causing further injuries.
"Taking things without asking is considered stealing. You stole Lin Dan's things, and you think you are right?" Xue Boyong sneered, "How do you know that her medical skills are not good? How do you know that she has no use for those medical books? They are all relics left to her by her father, more valuable than any gold, silver or treasure! Come, go to Xuancao Hall immediately and find all of Lin Dan's things for me. If one book is missing, I will hold you accountable!"
Several guards took orders in unison and rode away on horseback.
Xue Boyong lifted up his clothes, stood up slowly, and said word by word: "My legs were cured by Lin Dan. If anyone embarrasses her in the future, it is embarrassing me, and I will not let them off easily." He threw away the whip that was about to break, and left the main courtyard without looking back, his steps heavy and steady.
The old lady and Madam Xue were stunned, Xue Jiming who was hanging on the beam was stunned, and all the servants who met him on the road were stunned, each with a dumbfounded and unbelievable expression.
"Then, that's the eldest master?" a maid stammered.
"It's the eldest young master, for sure! His legs have healed and he can walk!" Someone cheered, and this woke up the extremely shocked old lady and Madam Xue.
It was not until this time that the old lady figured out why Lin Dan said that her mission had been accomplished when she left. It turned out that she had already cured her eldest grandson's leg, but she never sought repayment for the favor, nor did she get carried away or show off. She still takes care of her eldest grandson as attentively as before, and goes out to practice medicine and save lives in obscurity. Without those medical books, she wouldn't have achieved what she has today, and her eldest grandson wouldn't be as healthy as he is today. They were treasures left to her by her father, and they were the unique family skills. How could she allow others to covet them?
But not only did they let Wu Xuancao and Zheng Zhe go, they also took the initiative to lend out her family heirloom. Isn't this ungrateful and ungrateful? Lin Dan was so angry that she left, leaving behind all her belongings. It can be seen that she has completely lost heart towards the Xue family. She has learned a unique skill. When she goes out there, the sea is wide enough for fish to leap and the sky is high enough for birds to fly. How could she come back? The Xue family has offended such a miracle doctor. If their eldest grandson's illness recurs in the future, who can they turn to for help?
The more the old lady thought about it, the more anxious she became. She picked up the horsewhip and whipped Xue Jiming herself, scolding him, "What qualifications do you have to call Lin Dan a jinx? You are the one who caused all this. Your brother's legs got a little better, but you teamed up with Wu Xuancao to force Lin Dan away. If your brother's legs have problems again, can you saw off your own legs and connect them to his? You can't lead the army, you can't handle military affairs, and you only think about love all day long. Have you ever done a good thing in your life? That Wu Xuancao borrowed books in public, but secretly coveted other people's unique skills. She is not a good person either! You must be blind to fall in love with her!"
Madam Xue totally ignored her little son who was severely beaten, and kept ordering the servants, "What are you still standing there for? Go and find Miss Lin! Go quickly!" She had no idea whether her son's leg was fully healed or not, and she didn't know whether the disease would recur. Without Lin Dan around, she couldn't feel at ease. If she had known that Lin Dan was so promising, she would have worshipped her like an ancestor!
At the same time, Xue Boyong was sending people to look for Lin Dan everywhere, and then sealed up her study and sent soldiers to guard it, not allowing anyone to approach.
Half an hour later, the guard who went to Xuancao Hall to ask for the medical book came back and pointed to the extra book and said, "General, we found this book from Wu Xuancao's pharmacy. She insisted that she bought this book from an antique shop and it is definitely not Miss Lin's. Can you take a look and see if it is true?"
Seeing the familiar cover, Xue Boyong immediately realized that this book was definitely the inheritance left by the ancestor of the Lin family. The three words "Xinglinchun" were written on the title page. After opening it, he found that what was recorded inside was not medical skills, but the method of practicing internal strength. The appendix clearly stated that if one wanted to practice Lin's medical skills, one must practice this skill first, otherwise acupuncture and massage techniques would be useless.
Xue Boyong had seen Lin Dan's set of books, so how could he not know that "Xinglinchun" was not among them? But he closed the title page and said firmly: "This is indeed the little girl's book, and it should be returned to its original owner." At this point, he finally understood Wu Xuancao's plan. It turned out that she got this book of medical skills by chance, learned about the Lin family's inheritance, and saw that Lin Dan had several other books in his hands, so she had a bad idea and wanted to put together a complete set. The greedy snake swallows the elephant, this is exactly what she means.
