When Su Ruojin arrived at the Imperial Preceptor's residence, she did not see Gao Hongyuan. Instead, she was taken directly to the room of the child she had met before by the servants.
The child was sleeping with his eyes closed. As soon as Su Ruojin touched his wrist, the child opened his eyes instantly, glared at Su Ruojin fiercely, and grabbed her hand, ready to bite her.
Unexpectedly, Su Ruojin was faster than him. The child's mouth had just touched Su Ruojin's wrist when Su Ruojin had already inserted two silver needles into different acupoints on his head.
The child closed his eyes, fell back onto the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
Su Ruojin then took the child's pulse, and after a short while, she withdrew her hand.
A servant stepped forward and asked, "Doctor, how is he?"
Su Ruojin didn't know the relationship between this child and the Imperial Advisor, but he was definitely not an important person to the Imperial Advisor.
If a seven or eight-year-old child is important, the imperial advisor would certainly be present.
Even if someone is too busy to attend to important matters, they should send a steward or several servants to look after the child, rather than just an ordinary servant.
The reason why the imperial physician would ask him to treat an ordinary child is obvious.
Based on the child's aggressive behavior, Su Ruojin answered truthfully: "The child has excessive internal heat and phlegm disturbing his mind, making him unable to control his behavior and exhibiting strong aggression. This condition can only be cured slowly with medication and the patient companionship of his family. The treatment takes a long time, and the results will vary from person to person."
In fact, Su Ruojin has a more accurate term for this illness: emotional and behavioral disorder.
There are many causes of this condition, such as long-term domestic violence or living in an unsafe environment from childhood.
However, in this era, no one can understand the meaning of this word.
She had just looked at the boy's hands; they were very rough, with some small scratches that hadn't healed, suggesting he hadn't grown up in a privileged environment.
Such children could have experienced anything.
"Then please, doctor, prescribe a medicine." The servant respectfully led Su Ruojin to the table.
Su Ruojin picked up her pen and wrote down the prescription, handing it to a servant. "Take this prescription for three days first, and then adjust it according to the situation. It would be best if he could have a friend of similar age with a good personality to play with, and have his family members talk to him more, so that the patient's condition can be improved."
Acupuncture would normally be more effective for children, but this condition is only effective when the child is awake, which is clearly not possible in the child's current condition.
We can only use medication to adjust his body and temporarily suppress his mania before proceeding with the next step of treatment.
"Yes, thank you, doctor. Here is the consultation fee." The servant handed over a silver note.
Five hundred taels.
Su Ruojin raised an eyebrow. The Imperial Advisor was quite generous.
Before leaving, Su Ruojin glanced at the wall next to the bed, and left with a slight smile.
After the person left, the door to the hidden room on the wall next to the bed opened, and Gao Hongyuan and Dean Bao came out again.
For some reason, Gao Hongyuan felt that the doctor today was different from the ones he had seen before.
A servant handed over the prescription written by Su Ruojin. When Doctor Bao looked at it, his initial indifference turned into astonishment as he kept staring at the prescription.
Gao Hongyuan also sensed that something was wrong with Dean Bao. "Dean Bao, what's wrong?"
The Imperial Physician Bao then snapped out of his reverie and hurriedly replied, “Grand Preceptor, this prescription is very effective. I have tried some prescriptions before, but they were not very effective. I did not expect this prescription to be so bold, actually adding Feiluo Powder. It is too bold, too bold, but it is truly wonderful to use it here.”
"What is Feiluo San?" Gao Hongyuan asked curiously.
