The wife of Marquis Wu'an had been ill for a long time and was unable to recover. Upon hearing of Wu Xuancao's reputation, she naturally placed her hopes on her. However, at this time, the other party looked embarrassed and remained silent for a long time, obviously not sure. She immediately became nervous and asked tentatively: "Hemerocallis, my illness shouldn't be serious, right?"
Wu Xuancao immediately came back to her senses and spoke with difficulty: "Madam, I am sorry that I cannot diagnose your illness."
"You can't find out either? That's impossible?" Lady Wu'an Hou found it hard to accept the reality. Her limbs became increasingly numb, and she was gradually showing signs of paralysis. If this continued, she would probably become a disabled person. If you can live a good life, who would want to be a half-dead useless person? She found it hard to imagine such a scene, and the fear in her heart was even worse than her physical discomfort.
"Take another good look," she said pleadingly.
Wu Xuancao had no choice but to take the patient's pulse again, then shook her head with a serious expression.
The wife of Marquis Wu'an's eyes turned red and she almost burst into tears on the spot.
In order to hide her embarrassment, Wu Xuancao immediately waved to the doctors sitting in the hall and said, "Come and take a look. Madam's illness is very strange. If everyone puts their heads together, maybe there will be a solution."
Several people immediately gathered around and took turns feeling the pulse of the wife of Marquis Wu'an. Each expression was stranger than the last. When the last one finished, the whole room was silent and no one dared to speak.
Even though Wu'an Marquis' wife was slow to notice the problem, she spoke hastily, "Doctors, what disease do I have? Don't make it difficult for me, just tell me, I can accept it."
Several people gathered together and whispered for a while, then shook their heads and said, "Madam, it's not that we can't find out what disease you have, but you don't have a pulse at all. We have been practicing medicine for decades, and this is the first time we have seen such a strange disease. Without a pulse, the person should be dead, but you are still alive and well, which is really unbelievable."
Wu Xuancao had more experience than them, so she naturally knew that having no pulse was not strange, but she was unable to express her doubts. If she didn't tell anyone, she could pretend that she couldn't be cured and then shirk the responsibility. If she told anyone, people would see hope and would pester her to get treatment. She is a general surgeon and does not know how to perform this type of surgery. Even if she does, she does not have the conditions to do so.
Thinking of this, she waved her hand regretfully: "Madam, I'm sorry, we can't cure your illness. You should seek help from someone else. The imperial doctors in the palace are knowledgeable and should be able to find a way."
"But the imperial physician has been treating me for more than a month, and I came to you only because there was no improvement. If even you can't cure me, who else can I turn to?" The wife of Marquis Wu'an was full of confusion.
Wu Xuancao was speechless, but an apprentice standing behind her whispered, "You can go to Xinglinchun across the street. Doctor Xiaolin's medical skills are very strong. She may have a solution."
"Xinglinchun?" The wife of Marquis Wu'an had been ill for a long time and had no intention of inquiring about the news from the outside world. Naturally, she didn't know about Lin Dan, who had recently become famous.
Her maid immediately whispered in her ear, "Madam, Doctor Xiaolin recently saved a patient with intestinal abscess, and also saved a patient that Doctor Zheng almost killed. For this reason, Doctor Zheng has left the capital to gain experience in other places. Doctor Xiaolin's medical skills should be better than Doctor Zheng's."
"Oh, I haven't been out for two months, and such a miracle man has appeared in the capital? Why didn't you tell me earlier!" Wu'an Marquis's wife rekindled her hope and immediately urged, "Help me go to the other side to see the doctor, quickly."
The two maids hurriedly held her arms and walked hurriedly to the other side, not even bothering to look at Wu Xuancao.
Wu Xuancao felt extremely uncomfortable, but still stood up and followed. She wanted to see how Lin Dan would treat this patient who had no pulse this time. Can traditional Chinese medicine really surpass Western medicine? Impossible!
The apprentices and doctors at Xuancao Hall also followed, their faces full of anticipation.
"Who is Doctor Xiaolin? Doctor Xiaolin, please come and take a look at my wife. She has been ill for more than two months and now she can't even walk." The two maids kept scanning the inner hall and finally found Lin Dan who was pounding medicine in the corner.
"Oh? Help the patient over here," Lin Dan wiped his hands clean and said in a calm voice, "The light here is brighter, so it's more convenient for me to see the patient."
Two maids quickly helped the wife of Marquis Wu'an over. Whenever the doctors in Xinglinchun had free time, they would stand up and form a circle around the two of them. Lin Dan has recently become obsessed with preparing Chinese medicine. Unless the patient is seriously ill and dying, she generally won't help, so everyone has fewer opportunities to learn.
Now that the critically ill patients have come to their doorstep, they dare not miss it and rush over to observe. Not only the doctors at Xinglinchun, but also the doctors at Xuancaotang are like this. It can be seen that Lin Dan's medical skills have been widely recognized in the industry. However, Wu Xuancao's various actions have become more and more suspicious.
Lin Dan seemed to be accustomed to the feeling of being the center of attention, and his expression remained calm. The wife of Marquis Wu'an felt somewhat uncomfortable, but she did not dare to protest.
"Put your hand up." Lin Dan took out a clean pulse pillow.
The wife of Marquis Wu'an immediately put her wrist on it.
"How long have you been sick and what are the symptoms?" she asked while taking your pulse.
Lady Wu'anhou answered her questions one by one and observed her expression at the same time.
Lin Dan raised her eyebrows slightly, but quickly calmed down and explained, "You have a pulseless syndrome, which is caused by weak kidney yang and blood stasis in the meridians. You need to replenish blood, strengthen yang, and remove blood stasis and unclog the meridians. I will prescribe a dose of black snake soup for you to drink, and come back for a follow-up visit in seven days." Before she finished speaking, she had already written a prescription and handed it to the apprentice.
Several apprentices rushed to grab it, but were intercepted by a few doctors on duty, who snatched the prescription away and began to study it while dispensing the medicine, looking extremely hungry. The apprentices and doctors at Xuancaotang were very envious, but they were too embarrassed to make a scene in other people's shop, so they could only watch.
The wife of Marquis Wu'an said in disbelief: "No pulse, is that the end?" The little girl was neither surprised nor confused, and she treated it as a normal treatment for a headache or fever.
Lin Dan explained calmly, "The pulseless syndrome is also called the arthralgia pulse, which is caused by congenital disorders and spleen and kidney deficiency. Madam has kidney yang deficiency, and kidney yang deficiency leads to the accumulation of yin and cold inside the body, which makes the blood vessels stagnant when encountering cold. Qi deficiency leads to poor blood circulation and slow blood flow. Over time, the blood vessels become stagnant or even blocked, resulting in a wiry pulse or even no pulse. This disease is very slow to treat and requires long-term medication to be cured. Madam, please slow down and don't be anxious."
Seeing her calm tone, the panic in the heart of Marquis Wu'an's wife gradually subsided. She touched her numb right upper limb and said in a hoarse voice, "Can I really recover?"
"The medicine will be effective if you take it regularly." Lin Dan said with certainty. A disease like pulselessness is not considered difficult to treat for her.
Mrs. Wu'an Hou nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I will insist on taking the medicine, thank you, doctor!" Lin Dan can point out the disease that others can't even diagnose. If you don't trust her, who else can you trust? Even though the treatment had no effect, Lady Wu'an Hou was already comforted by her calm and composed attitude.
After sending the patient away, Lin Dan continued to pound the medicine. The prescription she wrote had already been copied by hand by several ladies in the clinic and taken away for study.
Wu Xuancao quietly walked out of the door, her heart full of doubts, yet also slightly shocked. She didn't believe that Lin Dan could really cure the wife of Marquis Wu'an's illness. Without advanced medical equipment and a pulse, how could she determine the cause of the disease? If she can’t find the cause of the disease, will the medicine she prescribed really work? But she looked so calm and confident, with a compelling charm all over her body. Even the most desperate patients would naturally calm down in her presence. This is the aura that only top doctors can create.
How long has Lin Dan been studying medicine? Are her medical skills really that advanced? Wu Xuancao shook her head and thought to herself that she would wait seven days to see the results.
Seven days later, the wife of Marquis Wu'an came as promised, but she did not need the help of a maid. She stepped into the threshold of Xinglinchun by herself with a cheerful and bright smile on her face. Seeing her so energetic, the doctors and apprentices in the shop were all stunned. The doctors and apprentices in Xuancao Hall also crowded to the side of the street, looking at her with burning eyes.
A disease that others could not cure in more than a month could be cured in Lin Dan in just seven days. It’s amazing, it’s really amazing!
"Doctor Kobayashi, I can feel my right upper limb again, but my body is still a little tired and I can't stand or sit for a long time. Can you please help me check if I have a pulse this time?" She smiled and stretched out her hand.
Lin Danlue felt the pulse and nodded, "Although the pulse is weak, it has improved a lot. No need to change the prescription, continue to drink the black snake soup, three doses a day, don't be annoyed."
"It's not a bother, it's not a bother." The wife of Marquis Wu'an waved her hands repeatedly with a respectful expression. Doctor Kobayashi could cure diseases that even the Imperial Medical Bureau couldn't, but her medicine was effective immediately. How could she dare not listen to her? If it were an ordinary day, she would definitely not be able to stand someone having a cold face, a deep voice, and speaking in a very rigid manner in front of her. But when this person turned into Dr. Kobayashi, she could get a constant sense of security from her. The colder she was, the more it showed that the patient's illness was not serious, and this attitude was really reassuring.
"Doctor Kobayashi, this is the consultation fee. Please accept it." She personally handed over a purse with a few gold leaves hidden inside.
Lin Dan put the purse directly into the drawer without even bothering to look at it. She wouldn't complain if there was less, and she wouldn't be panicked if there was more, as if everything was natural.
Her normal attitude made Lady Wu'an Hou feel more at ease, and her favorability towards her soared. The group thanked him repeatedly and presented many gift boxes before leaving.
Wu Xuancao stared at the receding carriage, her face turning red and white, which was very interesting. The condition of the wife of Marquis Wu'an has improved significantly, which shows that Lin Dan's medicine is effective. She actually cured a disease that even surgery might not be able to cure. Is Chinese medicine really that magical? Or maybe the Lin family's inheritance has its own mysteries?
The desire that Wu Xuancao had suppressed deep in her heart surged up again at this moment, but she did not notice that the way the doctor and apprentice in the store looked at her had completely changed. They once admired her very much, but now they have deep doubts about her. Ever since Dr. Zheng left, she seemed to have never treated anyone again. Was it because she didn't have the time, or didn't know how to do it?
Just as he thought of this, Xue Jiming rushed in holding an unconscious child and shouted, "Xuancao, come and help!"
