Abandoning a daughter never abandons, a medical concubine should be self-reliant

Chapter 16 Qi Minzhi, Head of the Academy

The child's family arrived and learned that it was Li Siqi who saved the child, so they were very grateful.

Sitting back in the carriage again, Gao Qiji warned in a cold voice: "Next time, don't be so impulsive to save someone, you are a girl, you should take your own safety and image into consideration."

Although the tone was domineering, Li Siqi could still hear a trace of concern in it, a smile floated to her lips, and she said: "Okay."

The way back to the city seemed to be much faster, and in a short while I arrived at Li Siqi's residence. Li Siqi thanked Gao Qiji.

Before leaving, Gao Qiji said lukewarmly: "Change your clothes, cook a bowl of ginger soup, and be careful not to catch a cold."

"Yeah." Li Siqi nodded slightly, and the two went home separately.

Concubine Kang's fainting stems from a long-standing problem for many years, always "abdominal pain first after menstruation".It is what is called dysmenorrhea in modern times, abdominal pain, dizziness, chest tightness or even fainting before menstruation.

Many imperial physicians think that it is "extremely cold", and many years of recuperation have had little effect.

As soon as Gao Qixun and Gao Qiyuan returned to the palace, he hurried to the Changxi Palace where his mother and concubine belonged. Gao Qixun only stayed there for a cup of tea before being summoned by the emperor, leaving Gao Qiyuan to accompany his mother.

At this time, Concubine Kang had already woken up, but the pain made her face look abnormally pale.

Gao Qiyuan saw his mother on the bed, who was in pain every few days every month, and his heart ached.

Thinking that the Quick-acting Jiuxin Pill that Li Siqi prepared for herself is really effective, maybe she can also find another way to treat the illness of the mother and concubine.

So she took Concubine Kang's hand and comforted her: "Concubine Mother, every now and then, you are in unbearable pain. It's really too much. My daughter also suffers when I see it. I wish I could take the pain for my mother."

"Siqi, who I mentioned to you before, has her own way of treating diseases and saving lives. Why don't you let her show you."

Concubine Kang tried her best to put on a smile, and patted her daughter's hand, "It's been a long time since I've had a chronic illness, and it's not a serious problem. It's over after I endured it. I really don't want to take medicine anymore. Don't bother."

"Mother and concubine, this is not a matter of forbearance, you are avoiding medical treatment!" Gao Qiyuan said solemnly.

"That black soup is really too bad to drink!" Concubine Kang was a little loose, but she was still a little reluctant!
"Mother Concubine, don't be afraid of this, that girl Siqi is a ghost, she must have something to do, Mother Concubine, just try it! Daughter, I beg you!" Seeing Concubine Kang shaken, Gao Qiyuan resorted to Assassin's trump card, with a small cherry mouth, shook Concubine Kang's hand and said coquettishly.

Concubine Kang loves this little daughter the most, and she really can't bear her sugar-coated bullets, so she can only agree: "Okay, okay, mother and concubine know that you love me, so you have begged like this, how can I refuse?"

Seeing that his mother finally agreed, Gao Qiyuan smiled and said, "Okay, I will tell Father tomorrow!" The two talked for a while before Gao Qiyuan returned to his Xuanruo Hall.

Because since ancient times, there has never been a female doctor in the imperial palace, and the emperor was unwilling to set this precedent.

Gao Qiyuan waited for a while before acquiescing to Li Siqi's medical treatment for Concubine Kang as a drug boy in the Tongren Medical Center, and the Imperial Hospital did its best to cooperate.

On the afternoon of the second day, Gao Qiyuan briefly explained the whole story to Li Siqi, and Li Siqi was secretly happy.

It is true that there is no limit to the road. In this era where women are not encouraged to practice medicine, it is really not easy to get a chance to treat noble concubines in an open and honest manner, and to get in touch with people from the Imperial Hospital.

So without saying a word, Li Siqi followed Gao Qiyuan into the palace.

Changxi Palace

Li Siqi took Concubine Kang's pulse carefully for a while, and asked with frowned eyebrows: "When the concubine concubine concubine came to confinement, the sunflower water was in the form of purple and black lumps?"

Concubine Kang looked a little embarrassed, but she answered affirmatively: "Exactly, does the girl have a cure?"

"Well, no problem, do you still have the prescriptions you used before? Can you show me?"

"The ones that were too early are not kept, and there are some in recent years." After finishing speaking, Concubine Kang winked, and the personal nun quickly went to get it.

She quickly brought back a few pieces of paper and handed them to Li Siqi. Li Siqi looked at them roughly and frowned slightly. Most of the prescriptions were for promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, keeping warm and dispelling cold, and purging liver fire.

Seeing her serious expression, Gao Qiyuan asked anxiously, "Siqi, how is it? Can't it be treated?"

Concubine Kang also looked at her solemnly.

Li Siqi was afraid that they would feel burdened, so she quickly comforted them: "Don't worry, although there are some troubles, it is not impossible to treat, but the history of this disease is too long, and the previous treatment methods are either not suitable for the symptoms, or treat the symptoms but not the root cause. The treatment is delayed."

"Siqi, what is the cause of my concubine's long-term illness?" Gao Qiyuan asked.

"The meridian is purple and black. People think that it is caused by extreme cold, but it is actually extremely hot and the fire does not dissolve! The liver belongs to wood, and there is fire in it. If it is comfortable, it will be unobstructed, and if it is stagnant, it will not be released. The meridian wants to go, but the liver should not. Then suppress and blow its qi and give birth to pain."

"Its purple and blackness is the phenomenon of the two battles of water and fire; its formation into a block is the state of frying with fire. The treatment method should vent the fire in the liver, but only venting the liver fire without relieving the stagnation of the liver is a method of curing the disease, not the root cause. "

"My opinion is to use Xuanyu Tongjing Decoction. After six courses of treatment, plus blood-enriching Dingtong Decoction, there will never be abdominal pain before menstruation."

Gao Qiyuan's eyes lit up, "Is this true? Can my concubine mother's stubborn illness be cured so quickly?"

"Well, this prescription nourishes the blood of the liver, relieves the stagnation of the liver, benefits the qi of the liver, and reduces the fire of the liver, so it works quickly." Li Siqi said firmly.

Gao Qiyuan and Concubine Kang felt relieved, arranged a place for Li Siqi, and agreed to start treatment after the menstruation was over.

From then on, Li Siqi traveled between Changxi Palace and Imperial Hospital every day, so naturally she had many opportunities to get in touch with Qi Minzhi.

In the imperial hospital, from time to time, the imperial physicians made things difficult for Li Siqi and mocked her, but Qi Minzhi treated her kindly.At first, Li Siqi thought that he was a double-faced person.

On this day, when she went to the Imperial Hospital to get medicine, the scale accidentally slipped and fell on her foot when weighing the medicine.Li Siqi secretly scolded herself for being clumsy, while leaning down to rub the painful feet.

At this moment, there were footsteps, accompanied by a person's snort: "That girl surnamed Li is really ignorant, we haven't been able to cure the imperial concubine for so many years, she dared to speak wildly, saying how much she is. A dose of decoction can cure the disease!"

"That's right, a bratty yellow-haired girl really doesn't know how much she weighs!"

A rough and slightly hoarse voice sounded immediately: "Hmph, as a woman, I am restless to find a husband's family, and honestly support my husband and teach my children at home, why come here to join in the fun, if you can't cure the imperial concubine, let's see how she ends up! "

"Shut up, don't you want the imperial concubine to recover?" Those people were talking vigorously, and someone scolded severely.

"Miss Li is the princess who begged for orders. The Holy Majesty agreed to heal the imperial concubine. I have also heard about her deeds in the capital. !"

"You guys are not as skilled as others. If you don't try your best to cooperate, you don't say anything, and you still gossip behind your back. Is this what a doctor should do?"

Several people admitted their mistakes after hearing the words.

"The lower official made a slip of the tongue, and I hope the head of the hospital will forgive me."

"Thank you, Master Chief, for your suggestion, I know I was wrong!"

"Your official, remember the teachings of the head of the academy!"

Qi Minzhi stroked his beard and nodded, "You must be cautious in your words and deeds, don't be an example!"

The other three all said yes repeatedly, and then went out, only Qi Min was in the room.
