I practiced medicine in ancient times

Chapter 154 Three needles in the ghost gate

“Greetings, Mr. Prefect.

You two have been in there for so long, have you prescribed medicine and performed acupuncture treatment for Prince Xun?" Doctor Ye, who was waiting outside, saw Prefect Shan, Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan come out. He first bowed to Prefect Shan, and then asked Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan impatiently.

"Acupuncture and prescription treatment!" Xu Qingyi nodded.

"Oh! You just..." Doctor Ye frowned when he heard it. He wanted to say something, but because of Prefect Shan beside him, he did not say the next word.

"Doctor Xu and Doctor Bai, are you sure you can cure the prince's insomnia?" asked Prefect Shan who came out.

"What cause did you diagnose for the prince's insomnia? What is going on?" Doctor Ye asked with a slightly changed expression upon hearing this.

"Emotional disorders, internal heat disturbance, and excessive heart fire are like a burning fire that is difficult to calm down. Liver qi stagnation makes it impossible for emotions to be effectively vented. In addition, the prince's increased speech and frequent activities indicate that his yang qi is too strong, making it impossible for the patient to remain calm and stable.

I will use acupuncture on the Guigong, Guiku, Guilei, Guilu and other acupoints, and then prescribe rhubarb, scutellaria, realgar, agarwood and other herbs for internal use, to see the effect of the treatment first, not to say whether it can be cured, but it will be fine if it works. "Xu Qingyi could always tell Doctor Ye that Prince Xun was manic, and he could only explain it in Chinese medicine terms. After telling him the acupuncture and the prescription, Doctor Ye knew his idea of ​​prescribing the medicine.

Doctor Ye was moved when he heard Xu Qingyi's explanation. He knew that what Xu Qingyi said, "emotional disorder, internal heat disturbance, and hyperactivity of heart fire", were all typical symptoms of insomnia. The acupuncture and prescription used by Xu Qingyi were precisely targeted at these symptoms, which was different from the prescriptions and acupuncture of their previous doctors. Perhaps Qingyi's treatment method would be useful for Prince Xun's insomnia.

"Doctor Ye, was Doctor Xu's prescription and acupuncture useful in treating the prince?" Prefect Shan asked, wanting to know the result.

“I don’t know whether it worked or not, but Qingyi’s acupuncture and prescriptions were different from what we did before.

Maybe it will be helpful for the prince's condition, or maybe it won't be useful. It's hard to say.

Let's see the effect of the treatment in the past few days first." Doctor Ye was unsure.

Because Prince Xun's insomnia was so difficult to treat, medication and acupuncture were effective in the early stages, but they stopped working after a few days.

Even in the end, no matter what prescriptions were changed or what acupuncture was performed, there was no effect at all. It seemed that the prince's body had developed resistance to all treatments.

"Oh, Prince Xun's illness is really a headache." Prefect Shan also knew about Prince Xun's condition. He also sighed, his heart full of helplessness.

As the prefect, he naturally understood the status of Prince Xun in the eyes of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. If anything happened to the prince, he, as the prefect, would probably be to blame.

Doctor Ye nodded and said, "Yes, we have tried our best to treat the prince's illness. I just hope that Qingyi's treatment method can be effective, otherwise..."

He didn't say anything else, but both of them understood that otherwise, they would face unbearable consequences.

Doctor Ye looked at the anxious look of the prefect and sighed in his heart. Prince Xun was of noble status. If anything happened to him, they, as ministers, would be implicated. Moreover, Prince Xun had always been favored by the emperor. If anything happened to him, how could the prefects and doctors, who were so small, withstand the wrath of the emperor and the empress dowager?

........

"Are you staying in the inn? Ask the apprentices at the clinic to take back the things you left at the inn. I will arrange for you to stay in the backyard of the clinic.

Doctor Zhou and his team are still here in Chuanshan County today. They will leave tomorrow. Please check if there is anything else you need to tell them about in Chuanshan County. "After leaving Xunwang Mansion, Doctor Ye felt much more relaxed. He led Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan to the clinic while telling them.

"Okay, I'll follow your arrangements, Doctor Ye.

In the future, we will practice medicine in the capital city, and you can make the arrangements, Doctor Ye." Bai Yan nodded.

“The clinic is ready for you.

You have just arrived, and perhaps not many people will come to you for medical treatment in the early stages, but you do not have to be discouraged. As long as you have real talent and knowledge, your reputation will naturally spread over time.

If Prince Xun's illness can be cured, then forget about his condition." Doctor Ye said comfortingly.

"Thank you, Doctor Ye, for your advice. We will try our best." Xu Qingyi replied respectfully.

After returning to the clinic, Doctor Zhou, Doctor Cheng, Doctor Liang, Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan also came to the city, and they were surprised to learn that they were specifically selected by the prefect.

After that, there was a round of greetings.

Doctor Ye also told us that Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan would not go back after coming to the city, and would stay in the city to practice medicine. Doctor Zhou and the other two had another round of instructions and advice for Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan.

After all, the two of them came out of the clinic in Chuanshan County. If they become successful in the future, their clinic will become more prestigious.

.........

At night, in a bedroom in Prince Xun's mansion, Prince Xun tossed and turned, unable to sleep. At first, he was feeling very angry and was about to explode. He wondered if it was because six of the thirteen ghost needles that Xu Qingyi had given Prince Xun during the day had worked, or if it was because of the medicine he drank at night.

A cool feeling spread from the head and gradually spread to the whole body, calming Prince Xun's mood a little.

The evil fire subsided and coolness spread, making Prince Xun calm down comfortably. Then he was in a daze, not knowing how much time had passed. With a start, Prince Xun suddenly opened his eyes from the bed.

Looking outside the house, the sky was still pitch dark and I didn't know what time it was.

However, after Prince Xun woke up this time, he felt that he was in particularly good spirits, as if this was the best spirit he had felt in the past few years.

Prince Xun didn't know what he was thinking of, so he said, "Someone come!"

"Your Highness, what do you want me to do?" At this time, a servant pushed the door open and came in, and asked Prince Chaoxun respectfully.

"What time is it now?"

"Your Highness, it's already past 3 p.m." the servant replied cautiously.

"He actually slept for more than an hour? Could it be that the formation they performed during the day and the prescriptions they prescribed are so effective? Now I don't know how long they can last." Upon hearing this, Prince Xun murmured with a changed expression.

Then, thinking that the medicine would lose its effect after a few days, Prince Xun's expectations disappeared.
