Chapter 217: Consultation 3
Chapter 217: Consultation 3
Imperial Noble Consort Dehui leaned weakly on the soft pillow. She had regretted countless times why she let Ye Jintang marry Xiao Mo.
If she had known that she had such good luck, she should have let Xiao Yi marry Ye Jintang instead of Ye Yanran who was said to be born with good luck.
Now, not only did Ye Yanran fail to bring good luck to her and Xiao Yi, but she brought a lot of bad luck to them.
Nothing had gone well for her recently, so Imperial Noble Consort Dehui suppressed her anger and asked the imperial physician to prescribe some medicated food to calm her mind.
Let Xiao Mo and Ye Jintang show off first, and once the foreign assassins are ready, she will take their lives. In the future, without them as an eyesore, she will be able to live a more comfortable life.
The news of Ye Jintang's treatment of Old Madam Li spread throughout the capital in just half a day.
In the past, everyone only knew that Ye Jintang was a good doctor, otherwise he would not be able to prescribe such a good medicine for treating colds.
But this time she only used one pill to cure the leg disease that had plagued Old Madam Li for four years. This shows that her medical skills are extremely advanced, even surpassing the imperial doctors in the palace.
After all, even the imperial physicians in the palace couldn’t cure Madam Li’s leg disease.
Mrs. Su was also quite excited when she received the news. She had been weak since childhood, and she was able to live to this age only because Guan Changming searched everywhere for various health-preserving prescriptions and spent a lot of money like water, which barely allowed her to live until now.
But as she grew older, Mrs. Su became weaker and weaker. A cold kept her in bed for more than two months.
She felt that her life had come to an end, but unexpectedly, when she was most desperate, there was light at the end of the tunnel.
"Master, do you think Princess Qin can really cure me?"
Mrs. Su, who was lying on the bed, took the bowl of medicine handed to her by Guan Changming and drank it all in one breath.
She has had to take medicine almost every day for so many years. Those bitter and difficult-to-swallow medicines have become as common to her as daily meals.
"Since Princess Qin was able to cure Madam Li's leg disease, she can naturally cure your cold as well. Wanyun, you can rest assured."
Guan Changming placed the empty medicine bowl on the small table and soothed Mrs. Su in a gentle voice.
"Why don't we just not go to see Princess Qin? I'll try another prescription. The medicine for treating colds in Bencaotang was also prescribed by Princess Qin. I took a lot of it but it only relieved my headache. Maybe Princess Qin's Chinese medicine isn't as good as the rumors say."
Guan Changming and Su Wanyun have been married for many years. When he heard her say this, he probably guessed in his heart that Su Wanyun was afraid that Ye Jintang would treat her and make Guan Changming owe a favor to the Qin Palace.
Su Wanyun was very clear about the current situation in the Prince Qin's Mansion.
She didn't want Guan Changming, who had already retired, to be involved in the court disputes again.
"I understand. Wanyun, I know everything you are thinking about. I am also clear about the interests of the Qin Palace."
"But so what? As long as I can cure your illness, these things are nothing to be afraid of. You have to believe me. I haven't been the left prime minister for so many years for nothing."
Su Wanyun sighed slightly. Her weak health had caused Guan Changming a lot of trouble over the years. If she didn't feel like leaving him, she really wanted to just leave.
Early the next morning, Guan Changming and Su Wanyun came to the palace together.
After taking Su Wanyun's pulse, Ye Jintang did not ask Master Mu this time, but came to the conclusion on his own that the reason why Su Wanyun had not recovered from her cold was because her body functions were already in a very low state.
This means that she could die at any time due to a small external factor.
This situation is still quite tricky.
"Madam Su, I can cure your cold right away, but your physical condition is really not good."
"It's okay. I can probably guess that my health may not be good. If you have any questions, please tell me directly."
Seeing that Su Wanyun was mentally prepared, Ye Jintang stopped beating around the bush and directly expressed her opinion.
"Madam Su must have drunk a lot of medicine over the years. Medicine is three-quarters toxic. Some of the toxins have not been excreted in time, and you drink new medicine. Over time, these toxins accumulate in your body, damaging your internal organs every moment, making you weaker and weaker."
"Also, you were born with a defective heart. You have one less piece of your heart than others."
"It is for this reason that you always feel tired, and if you move a little harder, you will feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, and occasionally you will have symptoms of migraine."
"Medication can only relieve the symptoms, but it can't make up for the missing piece of your heart."
"If you were only a few years old now, I would immediately cure your heart disease and let you grow up like a normal person."
"But now you are already gray-haired. Even if I am a great doctor and can cure your heart disease, your other organs are severely damaged. It is almost impossible for you to live a few more years."
"What I can do now is to help you live another five years. It will be difficult to extend your life any longer."
Su Wanyun, who had been in low spirits just now, was so surprised when she heard that Ye Jintang could help her prolong her life that she was stunned and could not utter a word for a long time.
Ye Jintang thought she felt her life span was too short, and just when he was about to open his mouth to comfort her, he heard Su Wanyun excitedly say, "Being able to live another five years is already a huge surprise. I thought it would be good enough for me to survive the New Year with my body."
"Don't be so pessimistic. I'll prescribe some medicine for you to regulate your body. These medicines are relatively mild. Drinking them once a day is enough. If you regulate your body like this for a year or so, it will be enough. By then, Madam can go out to enjoy the flowers and attend banquets."
"But Madam, please remember not to be too stimulated. As long as you keep a good mood, you may live longer."
Ye Jintang's words gave Su Wanyun a great boost of confidence. She never dared to dream of living with Guan Changming for five years.
"Liuli, go get the potion I prepared."
Ye Jintang handed a small porcelain bottle of space spring water to Su Wanyun.
"The potion in here was extracted by me using dozens of precious medicinal herbs. As long as you drink a bottle, Madam's cold will be cured and you will feel much more relaxed."
"Thank you, Princess."
Su Wanyun trusted Ye Jintang very much, and she picked up the porcelain bottle and drank it all in front of her.
At first she thought the medicine would be very bitter, but unexpectedly it tasted a bit sweet when she drank it.
The moment she drank the medicine, Su Wanyun felt her drowsy mind suddenly become clear.
Her eyesight wasn’t very good before, and she couldn’t see clearly anything far away.
But just now, the scene in front of her eyes suddenly became extremely clear and no longer blurry.
She kept coughing because of a cold, and sometimes she coughed so hard that she even coughed up blood.
But just now, her cough suddenly disappeared and her throat wasn't so uncomfortable anymore.
It took only a cup of tea, and Su Wanyun felt much more relaxed just as Ye Jintang said.
"The medicine that the princess gave me is truly miraculous. In just a short while, I feel like I'm completely cured."
Su Wanyun was extremely happy. If she could live such an easy life, she would be willing to live for even a month, let alone five years.
