Chapter 518 Old Fox
The Queen Mother's face immediately became long, and she said in a deep voice: "Are you sure? Imperial Physician Qin said that the cause of the disease may not be cold, it could be something else, why do you insist that it is cold?"
Doctor Zhou said without hesitation: "Because the migraine caused by wind and cold is different from the migraine caused by other reasons, the migraine caused by wind and cold has no warning signs and directly enters the headache stage. Moreover, when the cold evil invades, the first meridians to contract are the meridians in front of the forehead, so the pain in the forehead and temples is the main pain during the attack. In addition..."
Before he could finish his words, the Queen Mother interrupted him impatiently: "Alright, alright, you are showing off your knowledge again. I forgot that you are only good at gynecology and preserving the fetus, not these difficult and complicated diseases. Asking you to diagnose Fu Ma Ma's pulse is embarrassing you. Don't talk too much and pretend to know something you don't. Get out of here!"
Doctor Zhou's face instantly became stiff. He opened his mouth and wanted to clear his name, but the Queen Mother did not give him a chance and called Doctor Cui to come forward to answer.
He could only retreat with a stiff face.
He was quite indignant. He was the best at gynecology, but he was also very good at treating common diseases like migraines! How could a migraine be considered a difficult disease? It was impossible for him to make a mistake in diagnosing such a minor illness! It was even more impossible for him to pretend to know something when he didn't!
The Queen Mother is slandering us, blatant slander!
The Queen Mother didn't care what Doctor Zhou thought. She called Doctor Cui over and asked him, "Cui Yuhe, tell me, does Aunt Fu have a migraine? What caused it?"
Imperial Physician Cui was only in his thirties. He was much younger than Imperial Physicians Qin and Zhou, but he came from a medical family. His ancestors had all been imperial physicians. One of his ancestors had even served as imperial physicians to the emperor of the previous dynasty. Because of his superb medical skills, he was kept in the palace by the emperor of the current dynasty to continue serving as an imperial physician.
Imperial Physician Cui had been influenced by his family since he was young and knew that serving the emperor was like serving a tiger. He spoke very tactfully and acted with great discretion. He never offended anyone easily and would never bring shame to the Cui family's reputation.
He said respectfully and gently: "Your Majesty, the causes of migraine are quite complicated. Sometimes it is not just caused by one reason. It is possible that multiple factors are superimposed, so there are multiple symptoms."
"I have observed that Madam Fu's pulse is unstable, indicating that external evil has attacked the surface and internal cold has accumulated. This is mostly due to insufficient sleep at night. And it is not just one or two days, but it has been like this for many years, which will cause the pulse to be unstable."
"Of course..."
The Queen Mother interrupted him impatiently: "Why are you talking so much? I want to ask you whether Aunt Fu has a migraine!"
Doctor Cui immediately knelt down and said, "Her Majesty, Madam Fu does have a headache."
"Why?"
"In my opinion, it was caused by the invasion of evil wind and overwork. If you had rested properly at the beginning, you should have recovered quickly. But because of overwork and insomnia in the later period, the headache kept recurring and getting worse."
"So, what you mean is that Aunt Fu got a migraine because she didn't get enough sleep and worked too hard?"
"Replying to Your Majesty, this is indeed a very important inducement."
The Queen Mother looked a little unhappy. She waved her hand impatiently, asked Doctor Cui to leave, and called another doctor to come forward to answer the question.
After asking all the questions, the empress dowager was dumbfounded.
Six imperial doctors all said that Aunt Fu did have migraines, but their answers were all inconsistent as to the cause of the headaches!
Their inconsistency gave Shen Wantang an opportunity to take advantage of - her pulse diagnosis was correct, but not completely correct.
In other words, she couldn't tell whether there were any mistakes or not!
How could she punish Shen Wantang?
The Queen Mother stared at Shen Wantang intently, and almost every word she spoke was squeezed out from between her teeth: "You are indeed insidious and cunning, a villain! In such a short time, you actually found a loophole in my words! Your brain is so quick and your mind is so deep, the brother and sister Qingyuan and Qingxi can never be your opponent!"
Shen Wantang lowered her head, looking very submissive: "Your Majesty, please understand. Since I have married into the palace, I belong to the palace. I will treat the prince and the eldest lady with all my heart."
The Queen Mother sneered, obviously not believing Shen Wantang's words at all.
Shen Wantang didn't care whether she believed it or not, but when she first married into the palace, she was indeed very tolerant and patient towards Xiao Qingyuan and Xiao Qingxi, and she also did a lot of good things for them in secret.
She once sincerely wanted to treat Prince Ning's Mansion as her own home and wanted to make everyone in the Mansion better.
Unfortunately, some people always want to put her to death.
Since you want to kill her, be prepared to be killed in return. If you are not aware of this, don't have any evil thoughts.
Shen Wantang's heart was cold, but her voice was neither too loud nor too low. She acted like a daughter-in-law in front of everyone, "However, now is not the time to talk about this. My father and mother are in danger now. Please ask the Queen Mother to order the imperial doctors to work together to treat them. We really can't delay any longer."
The empress dowager's heart skipped a beat. Indeed, there was no time to delay any longer. If she wanted to punish Shen Wantang, now was the time!
She raised her hand and pointed at Shen Wantang: "You are an expert in medicine, so I order you to work with the imperial doctors to cure my son immediately! I want him to wake up now! If anything happens to him, you will all lose your heads!"
When Shen Wantang heard her only mention Prince Ning and not Princess Ning, she knew that the Queen Mother didn't care about Princess Ning's life or death at all. As a mother-in-law, she only cared about her own son's life.
The imperial doctors all had solemn expressions. They entered the inner room one by one and began a new round of pulse diagnosis and prescription writing.
Shen Wantang naturally followed in. If someone asked her a question, she would answer a few words. If no one asked her, she would just stand aside quietly, not taking the initiative, not refusing, and not taking responsibility.
With so many imperial doctors here today, although Prince Ning's condition is somewhat dangerous, there is no need to worry about saving his life.
As for whether he can wake up, it depends on whether any of the imperial doctors are willing to take the risk.
The group discussed for nearly an hour and finally came up with a new prescription.
Nanny Quan took the prescription and immediately asked someone to get the medicine and boil it, and then fed it to Prince Ning.
Then, the imperial doctors finally had time to take care of Princess Ning. It was another long round of pulse diagnosis, discussion, and prescription of medicine.
After the new medicine was boiled, Nanny Quan fed it to Princess Ning as well.
However, Prince Ning and Princess Ning showed no signs of waking up.
After several imperial doctors discussed in a low voice, they all looked at Shen Wantang.
Shen Wantang's heart skipped a beat. What were they doing? Were these old foxes trying to push her out?
Sure enough, the next moment, Doctor Qin politely bowed to her and said, "Princess, you seem to have a deep understanding of acupuncture. You have treated the princess' fainting many times before. Why don't you use acupuncture on the prince and princess again?"
