After the matter in Qiaozhen was resolved, Shenxi was discussing the issue of the army's affiliation and management with Qi Xiuwen.
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. Even the usually strong Chenxi broke out in a cold sweat and cried out in pain.
Qi Xiuwen was startled and asked anxiously, "Commander, what's wrong?"
Shenxi gritted her teeth and remained silent. For some reason, the pain in her lower abdomen intensified again, and she felt a warm flow beneath her.
Seeing that Shen Xi's face was pale and she was sweating even more, Qi Xiuwen stopped asking questions and directly ordered someone to summon Fang Chenyan.
Qi Xiuwen had some medical knowledge. Fang Chenyan had not yet arrived. He disregarded the difference between men and women, and he didn't care that the leader was an officer. He directly put his finger on Shenxi's pulse.
The pulse of Shenxi was found to be slippery, rapid, and forceful, with a noticeable hesitant quality at the intervals.
He frowned deeply; the commander's pulse was unlike that of an ordinary person.
I remember a few days ago my subordinates said that Fang Chenyan examined the leader in the middle of the night, but couldn't find anything wrong. But now the pulse is definitely not a normal pulse.
A smooth, strong flow indicates that the leader has abundant qi and blood, while a rough, sluggish flow indicates poor blood circulation.
Could it be that the leader suffered a serious injury and has not fully recovered, resulting in poor blood circulation?
Large beads of cold sweat appeared on Shenxi's forehead, her teeth were biting her lip hard, one hand was supporting her on the table, and the other was clutching her lower abdomen. Qi Xiuwen panicked. What should they do if their leader really had some hidden illness or health problem?
He quickly grabbed a towel, soaked it in water, and wiped away Chenxi's sweat: "Commander, have you suffered any injury to your abdomen?"
Shenxi was completely speechless.
She had already guessed it: her first period had arrived, two or three days later than expected a few days earlier.
Although she was somewhat prepared, because she had experienced slight abdominal pain when she first started menstruating in her previous life, it wasn't severe and the pain subsided after three times.
But she never expected that the pain in this life would be so intense, exceeding her tolerance.
Fang Chenyan arrived quickly, followed by Xing Xiuyan.
Because Chenxi asked her to make two pairs of dark-colored trousers, since they would be riding horses all the way, and if she got her period, the lighter-colored clothes would easily get stained, which would be a bit embarrassing.
Upon hearing that Shen Xi was unwell, Xing Xiuyan put down her needlework and rushed over immediately.
Upon seeing Shen Xi's behavior, Fang Chenyan was pretty much right about what had happened.
He sighed. He had already instructed the leader to pay attention to various matters related to menstruation. He had already felt the leader's pulse and found it to be somewhat hesitant, but it was not advisable to administer medication directly at that time, for fear that using too many blood-activating and stasis-removing drugs would cause the leader to bleed too much.
Once menstruation actually begins, then observe the pulse and bleeding to determine if medication is necessary. Most people will no longer have a choppy pulse after two or three days, or one or two menstrual cycles, as their bodies will adjust on their own.
But he also knew that although he had reminded the leader before, due to the occurrence of one thing after another, the leader was exhausted, and Ge Liang's rebellion and the leader's battle with the bandits had taken a lot of physical exertion, which was unavoidable.
Fang Chenyan immediately took Shen Xi's wrist; it was noticeably rough, indicating that the bruising was quite severe.
Xing Xiuyan had taken over from Qi Xiuwen and was wiping Shen Xi's sweat, gently comforting him: "Commander, does your stomach hurt a lot? Relax and take a deep breath."
Xing Xiuyan could also tell that Shenxi had started her first period. When she had her first period, it was quite painful, and that's how her mother comforted her.
Shenxi did as Xing Xiuyan said, and the situation did improve.
Xing Xiuyan casually summoned two female guards, who then helped Chen Xi to her bedroom.
Then she sent the female guard away and changed Chenxi's clothes and tied her menstrual belt herself.
Seeing that Chenxi looked a little better, she brought over a hot water bottle and applied a hot compress to Chenxi's lower abdomen.
After waiting for a while, Chenxi finally recovered and felt the slight, intermittent pain in her lower abdomen, which was now within a tolerable range.
"Xiuyan, don't worry, I'm fine."
Seeing that Xing Xiuyan was circling around her rapidly, and that Xing Xiuyan's forehead was already covered in sweat, Shenxi told her to sit down and rest.
Xing Xiuyan shook her head: "Commander, I'm not tired. I'll get you a new hot water bottle in a bit."
Chenxi nodded and finally pulled her to sit down. If a person is exhausted, how can they choose so many satisfactory people?
After seeing that Shen Xi had been brought back to the bedroom, Fang Chenyan immediately wrote out a decoction and ordered his nurses to quickly fetch and prepare the medicine.
The leader's pulse is quite sluggish, so he needs some blood-activating and stasis-removing drugs to clear the meridians and relieve pain. Otherwise, he may feel very uncomfortable every time in the future, which will also affect his health.
The nurse immediately grabbed the prescription and rushed out, walking with incredible speed. No one dared to neglect matters concerning their superior!
Qi Xiuwen watched quietly from the side, doing nothing and not disturbing the conversation.
After Chenxi drank the medicine, her stomach was warmed, and the pain lessened considerably in a short while. She finally fell asleep.
Seeing that Chen Xi was asleep, Xing Xiuyan quietly came out and looked at Fang Chenyan with annoyance: "No matter how busy the leader is, as the leader's personal physician, shouldn't you treat the leader as soon as possible?"
Fang Chenyan's face flushed red. If Xing Xiuyan hadn't said anything, he wouldn't have done anything wrong. But Xing Xiuyan said that he was the leader's personal physician and that it was a dereliction of duty of not paying close attention to the leader's physical changes.
He wanted to argue that he wasn't the leader's personal physician, but merely a physician who accompanied the leader.
But thinking of the respect and favor shown to him by his superiors, he ultimately couldn't bring himself to say those words.
From now on, all we need to do is keep an eye on the leader's health at all times, and taking his pulse every day is our duty as medical staff.
Fang Chenyan secretly made up his mind and admitted his mistake aloud: "It's Chenyan's fault that the leader has suffered."
Seeing Fang Chenyan's sincere admission of his mistake and his gentle tone, Xing Xiuyan couldn't bring herself to blame him. She just felt sorry for her commander, who worked so hard every day, barely had a moment of leisure, and yet people were causing trouble for him every day.
It's all because the leaders are too kind. They give them enough to eat and water, yet they still rebel.
Qi Xiuwen then asked, "How is the commander now?"
Xing Xiuyan respected Qi Xiuwen very much. Besides being the leader, the premier was also very busy, sharing the leader's burdens and solving problems.
"The commander is much better now and is asleep."
Although Qi Xiuwen did not know what exactly was wrong with Chenxi, he could ask Fang Chenyan later. It was clear that Fang Chenyan was busy but not flustered, so it was not a serious illness.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Xing."
Qi Xiuwen's tone was gentle, and the panic he had shown earlier was nowhere to be seen.
“This is my duty, Premier Qi.”
Xing Xiuyan turned to Fang Chenyan again: "Dr. Fang, I'm sorry for what I said earlier, my tone was too harsh."
"It's alright, Miss Xing is just worried and confused."
"Dr. Fang, I wonder if the commander will still be in such pain in the future?"
