Zheng Ankang nodded after hearing this, signaling the guards to continue their patrols.
But he was still a little worried, fearing that something might really have happened to the leader.
He personally approached Fang Chenyan and instructed him to be ready at any time to come immediately if the leader had any problems.
Fang Chenyan had been busy for several days, and after re-inspecting the military personnel here, he found no signs of an outbreak. He had just finished resting when he heard Zheng Ankang's words and immediately got up and went to Chenxi's residence.
He had Xing Xiuyan inform Shen Xi from outside.
Shen Xi was asking Shen Qing about the specifics of the situation, but before he could finish, Xing Xiuyan replied, "Chief, Doctor Fang is waiting outside."
Shen Xi instantly understood that Zheng Ankang must have informed Fang Chenyan.
She sighed, feeling a pang of regret. She appreciated her subordinates' concern, but their excessive attention was something she could only lament; the leader's health was of utmost importance.
Shen Xi had no choice but to tidy herself up and take Xing Xiuyan to the outer reception room.
Shen Qing also tidied up and went out with Shen Xi.
Xing Xiuyan went out to inform Fang Chenyan, and Fang Chenyan and Zheng Ankang then entered the reception room.
"Greetings, Commander."
"No need for formalities. Did Ankang send you?"
"Yes, I apologize for disturbing your rest, sir!" Fang Chenyan showed great respect for his superior and was very sorry for disturbing his rest.
"We're worried about you, sir. We'll only feel at ease if you let Chen Yan take a look," Zheng Ankang added.
Shen Xi showed no impatience and said gently, "You're just worried and confused. I really have no problem."
"I'm naturally happy that you're alright, sir. But you should let me take a look at your diagnosis."
Standing behind Shen Xi, Shen Qing had a vague idea from the detailed questions Shen Xi had asked her earlier that her older sister's sudden abnormality was related to what she had said, and naturally knew that her older sister's health was fine.
But she couldn't say anything at this moment; she could only quietly wait for Fang Chenyan's decision.
Chen Xi chuckled and stretched out her arm: "Then let's invite our Doctor Fang to make a diagnosis."
Fang Chenyan took out a pulse diagnosis kit from the medicine box and carefully examined Shenxi's pulse.
After examining the pulse in Shenxi's left hand, he frowned and gestured to Shenxi's right hand.
Shenxi readily extended her right hand for him to diagnose.
Fang Chenyan took the pulse for the full time it takes to brew a cup of tea. The reception room was completely silent; no one dared to disturb him, not even daring to breathe loudly.
Does the leader really have a health problem?
By the time Fang Chenyan finally finished taking Shen Qing's pulse, Shen Qing was already sweating profusely with anxiety.
The others weren't much better off; they were all tense, waiting for Fang Chenyan's conclusion.
Fang Chenyan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Chief, there's nothing wrong with your health. I'll write you a list in a bit, and you'll understand when you see it."
What kind of diagnosis is this?
If the leader has no problems, why write a list for him?
If there's a problem, just say it directly. It's best not to make them feel uneasy!
Shen Qing couldn't hold back any longer. Although she felt that her older sister was fine, she couldn't stop Fang Chenyan from talking nonsense!
"Fang Chenyan, just say what you have to say, don't keep us in a hurry."
Fang Chenyan glared at Shen Qing. Is this something you can just tell anyone?
Shenxi waved her hand: "Qing'er, your elder sister knows what she's doing."
Then he asked Fang Chenyan, "Are you sure I'm healthy and there's nothing wrong with me?"
She did this to reassure her subordinates and to make them certain that she was alright.
"Yes, the commander is in good health."
"Okay." Shen Xi turned to look at Zheng Ankang: "Ankang, you can rest assured now!"
Zheng Ankang immediately bowed and said, "It was my rudeness."
Disturbing the leader's rest would be naturally abrupt.
"It's nothing." Chenxi said calmly, "Since I'm in good health, Chenyan can finish writing the form and leave it with Xiuyan. You can all go back and rest!"
"yes!"
Shen Xi turned and went inside; she still had things to ask Shen Qing.
Fang Chenyan stayed behind to write down the list, while Zheng Ankang went out to continue arranging the guards.
Fang Chenyan wrote it quickly and handed it to Xing Xiuyan. After personally seeing him out, Xing Xiuyan turned around and brought the form inside for Shen Xi to see.
Xing Xiuyan didn't read what was written on the list. She wouldn't touch the leader's things unless the leader gave his approval.
Chenxi, who had just changed into her pajamas, took the form, opened it, and was immediately left speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
In this life, because she was too busy, and because she had long since passed her first period in her previous life, she had forgotten that her body should have had its first period.
Fang Chenyan wrote down the details of the girl's first menstruation on the form and warned Shenxi not to overwork herself!
Only then did Shenxi remember that she had felt a slight bloating in her lower abdomen that afternoon, but she hadn't paid attention to it because it wasn't noticeable.
It seems that my first period will probably be in the next day or two.
No wonder Fang Chenyan was unwilling to say it. He had the best medical skills, but his age was a factor, and he wasn't that thick-skinned. He probably also wanted to save face for the leader!
Shenxi handed the list to Xing Xiuyan, gesturing for her to take a look.
Xing Xiuyan then looked at it. After looking at it, Xing Xiuyan said somewhat uneasyly, "Chief, it is my dereliction of duty that I did not prepare it for you!"
Shenxi knew exactly what to prepare, and shook her head, saying, "It's not your fault, I didn't even realize it."
Xing Xiuyan felt even more ashamed. She had long since passed her first period and naturally knew about the changes in her body before and after menstruation. She had actually overlooked the changes in her leader, which was truly a dereliction of duty on her part.
Before she came here with the leader, her sister Yingxue repeatedly told her to take good care of him.
Shenxi didn't blame her; it was only now that she remembered the issue of menstruation for women in this era.
Chenxi asked, "What do you use when you come here?"
Xing Xiuyan blushed slightly. She still couldn't talk about this topic naturally, but since the leader had asked, she couldn't not answer.
"The menstrual belts used were made of high-quality silk floss with Xuan paper sandwiched in the middle."
After a moment of surprise, Shenxi realized: "Ordinary people wouldn't use this, would they?"
Although it was a question, it was stated with certainty that ordinary people would never use menstrual belts made of cotton and Xuan paper.
Xing Xiuyan was aware of this as well. Although she came from a prominent family, she was not ignorant of the lives of ordinary people.
"They used coarse cloth with wood ash sandwiched between it."
Shenxi thought to herself, "So there must be no sanitary napkins or tampons here."
In her past life, Chenxi was used to using pure cotton sanitary napkins; the pure cotton surface felt soft and comfortable to the touch...
She's got the wrong idea, pure cotton? It seems she's been overlooking something.
"Xiuyan, have you ever heard of cotton?"
Xing Xiuyan was puzzled as to why the commander suddenly changed the subject and asked about a name she didn't recognize.
She shook her head: "I haven't heard of it."
Shenxi picked up his pen and wrote two characters: cotton.
She knew the course of history in her previous life: cotton had been planted on the borders of China since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but it was not until the end of the Song Dynasty that it was planted on a large scale in the interior.
What's the situation now?
