Chapter 303 The Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire

Xia Qingdai met Leopold II, the current emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, in the emperor's living room, a middle-aged man who was considered excessively worried by the imperial doctor.

Xia Qingdai was a little confused when the attendant approached her and asked her to see the unwell king. But she quickly adjusted her mood and sat quietly on the edge of the sofa to check the emperor's pulse.

Historically, the Holy Roman Emperor only reigned for eighteen months, but he did things that his successors could not do for more than ten years. If he had lived longer, the country he ruled might have been better off.

Of course, history cannot be assumed, and Xia Qingdai has no intention of changing her fate.

For Xia Qingdai, the life of an emperor is far less important than the life of an artist or scientist.

If she happened to meet him, she would treat him, but she would not travel thousands of miles to save Mozart.

After feeling his pulse for two or three minutes, Xia Qingdai understood all the difficulties he had and asked, "What are you feeling uncomfortable about?"

Leopold II replied: "Nausea, feeling like vomiting, no desire to eat."

Xia Qingdai felt his pulse and knew that he didn't tell all the physical symptoms, maybe because she was a female doctor.

But she was studying medicine and didn't care about this at all, so she asked directly: "Do you feel hot and painful when you pee?"

Hearing this, Leopold II and the others standing beside him changed their expressions. They probably didn't expect such words to come from the mouth of a countess.

European aristocrats are currently similar to the upper class in China. Mentioning feces and urine is the same taboo as it is considered indecent.

But people who practice medicine and treat diseases really have nothing to say about peeing and peeing, because most of the sick people have abnormal peeing and peeing, and they don’t know how to treat it.

Leopold II coughed slightly in embarrassment, and then responded: "Yeah."

After coughing, he became short of breath, apparently suffering from shortness of breath.

Xia Qingdai felt his pulse and could feel the heat coming from his skin. He still had a low fever.

"Open your mouth and let me see."

The patient hesitated before opening his mouth.

"Open your mouth so wide that you can fit an egg in it." Xia Qingdai emphasized in a London accent, "Put your tongue out and show me."

Leopold II complied. He was infected by Xia Qingdai's calm tone and demeanor, and the prejudice he had when he first saw her at such a young age slowly dissipated.

This is the so-called trust brought by the doctor's charisma.

Unlike other people in this century, Xia Qingdai was fearful or in awe of the supreme emperor, so she appeared to be neither humble nor overbearing, with a calm attitude.

In her eyes, what does a foreign emperor have to do with a modern Chinese like herself? Even Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, she dared to call Hongli directly.

The Qing Dynasty has perished, and so has the Holy Roman Empire.

She came to the dance today, so naturally she didn't bring a medical kit, so she didn't have an ear lamp or an acupuncture kit.

However, after looking around, she found that the problem was not big, and she had already come to a conclusion in her mind.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the patient's current condition is an obvious "damp-heat bet". But if you prescribe medicine directly based on this, it will probably not be curable.

Because TCM treatment is never about seeing the disease and treating it, but requires syndrome differentiation and treatment.

What is syndrome differentiation and treatment? In layman's terms, it can be summarized as "knowing what it is, and knowing why it is the case".

The patient is currently betting on damp heat, so why is he betting on damp heat? Only by identifying the "why" through syndrome differentiation can the disease be cured. "Did you cough and leak urine just now? Do you get short of breath frequently when you get out of bed and walk?" Xia Qingdai raised her eyes and stared at Leopold II and asked.

"No, how could I leak..." Leopold II denied.

Xia Qingdai stared at him for a moment without revealing it. It was so common for patients to lie to doctors. Doctors and police officers are probably the most suspicious people in the world, mainly because these two types of people always encounter people who lie.

Some patients lie intentionally for various privacy reasons or other reasons. For example, a young girl lies that she has no sex life, but in fact she is pregnant.

Others are just out of stupidity. For example, before the operation, the doctor asked if he had had breakfast, and the patient firmly said no. If you ask more carefully, the other party may say that he just ate an apple, and the apple does not count as breakfast.

The Leopold II in front of him clearly leaked urine when he coughed, but he denied it because of the dignity of the emperor.

But Xia Qingdai already had a good idea of ​​his symptoms, so even if he didn't cooperate, it wouldn't affect her syndrome differentiation and treatment.

This is the damp and hot bet caused by weak Qi. Middle qi is the qi of the spleen and stomach. If the middle qi is weak, the spleen and stomach are weak. The spleen and stomach are the source of Qi and blood biochemistry. If they are weak, the whole body will naturally feel weak.

Weakness in the middle Qi leads to insufficient vitality, and the Yin Fire rises internally, causing fever naturally.

If the syndrome differentiation is correct, the treatment will be simple. If the middle Qi is insufficient, just use Buzhong Yiqi Decoction.

But she didn't have this Chinese medicine in her medicine box. She had to go to Master Liang's Chinese medicine store to get it.

There is no need to actually prescribe a dose. That amount is poison to a villain. To take one of each kind, she had to measure it carefully with a spoon before matching.

Thinking of this, Xia Qingdai stood up and said: "My medicine box is at the hotel. I will go back to get the medicine first."

"Your Excellency, is my illness serious?"

"It's not serious, it's easy to treat." Xia Qingdai reassured. What she said was true. It was indeed not a serious illness.

Of course, a minor ailment in modern times may become a fatal disease in ancient times when there was a lack of medical treatment and medicine.

After thanking Xia Qingdai, Leopold II sent someone to prepare a carriage to send Xia Qingdai and Owen back to get the medicine.

Sitting on the real royal carriage, Xia Qingdai looked around.

Although it was dark in the middle of the night, Xia Qingdai's eyesight could still clearly see the interior decoration of the carriage.

"As expected of the royal family, it is indeed exquisite enough." This kind of internal carving that consumes countless labors is not comparable to the model Xia Qingdai bought from Hyundai.

Having said that, in terms of sophistication, the carriage model Xia Qingdai bought in Hyundai is not good; but in terms of comfort, this royal carriage is miles away.

This royal carriage has neither shock absorbers nor rubber tires. It just rolls the road with wooden wheels. It's strange that it can be comfortable.

As for the carriage, decoration is secondary, comfort should be the first priority, but at least it is better than the carriage rented from the carriage house.

"Owen, what's wrong with you? You haven't spoken a word."

After Xia Qingdai inspected the interior of the car, she remembered to see Irving.

In the darkness, Owen's eyes were filled with worry: "I'm thinking about what happens after you cure him."

Xia Qingdai understood immediately after hearing this. Was she worried that her medical skills were too good and she would be forced to stay as an imperial doctor?

"Don't worry!" Xia Qingdai shrugged, "I want to leave, no one can stop me."

That's true, as soon as I think about it, I'm back to modern times. Only Owen is her weakness, because Owen cannot teleport.
