Gu Chengrui looked at Madam Consort An after hearing that. Seeing her face abnormally flushed, he hesitated before asking, “Madam Consort An, have you asked the imperial physician to prescribe you some medicine?”
“Yes, but it didn’t have much effect, so I couldn’t be bothered to drink those bitter medicine soups anymore.”
“I wonder if 1 can give you a pulse check?”
“You know medicine?” Madam Consort An asked in surprise.
“Previously, when 1 was in the capital, I learned a little from the academy’s doctor. Over the past few years, I also learned from a doctor in the countryside for two years. As long as it’s not a difficult illness, there shouldn’t be any problems.”
“Oh, then let’s give it a try.” Despite the fact that Madam Consort An didn’t believe in the medical abilities of someone from the countryside, she had been tormented by her illness for too long and was still holding out hope.
Gu Chengrui went forward and took her pulse. It was high blood pressure; no wonder her face was so abnormal.
“Does anyone in your family have similar symptoms?”
Madam Consort An pondered for a moment before slowly shaking her head. “I haven’t noticed before. Is this illness passed down from generation to generation?”
“If your ancestors had this illness, it would be passed down from generation to generation.
“If there isn’t, it’s still possible to get this from natural causes.
“However, there were many factors in getting this.
“It could be caused by various outside stresses, or it could be due to physical reasons. One of the most common reasons is due to your diet.” Gu Chengrui then asked, “Do you usually like to eat pork, especially the fatty portion? Do you have a salty palate?”
“It’s true. I’ve loved to eat fatty pork since I was young.
“As for the taste, the meat won’t be fragrant if it isn’t seasoned well, so I haven’t thought much of it.”
“I see. You have to be careful in the future. If you want to eat meat in the future, it’s best to eat more fish, especially sea fish.
“Otherwise, if your illness continues to develop, it is likely that you will suffer a stroke or even suffer from paralysis.”
“Paralysis? Is it really that serious?” Madam Consort An exclaimed, and her body started to sway.
Gu Chengrui knew this was bad, so he quickly got someone to bring a needle and an oil lamp over.
He used fire to disinfect the needles and quickly pricked her ten fingers. Quickly, he squeezed out droplets of dark red blood.
A moment later, Madam Consort An recovered, and Gu Chengrui pointed at her blood droplets as he explained, “If your blood is thick enough to block the blood vessels, it will cause paralysis.”
Madam Consort An took a good look at her blood and asked, “Is there a way to treat it?”
“Yes, but you have to take medicine consistently and avoid eating heavy food.” “Can you cure it?”
“Yes, but you have to cooperate. Your symptoms are mainly thick blood obstructing your blood flow.
“Meat produces fat, so the first thing we have to do is get rid of this fat. Also, you will have to exercise and drink more water daily.”
“Alright, I’ll listen to you. When will the treatment start?”
“I wonder if there are silver needles in the residence. Acupuncture is a great way to start.”
“Yes.” Madam Consort An responded and then let Granny Zhang find the manor doctor.
Afterwards, she looked at Mingyu and said, “Yu’er, entertain Zhou Ying and the Yang family’s girl.”
“Got it, Grandmother.” Mingyu replied and looked at Gu Chengrui. “Lord Gu, please.”
Gu Chengrui nodded and said, “1 will try my best.”
Only then did Mingyu stand up to bring Zhou Ying and Yang Wanning to her courtyard.
After beckoning them to sit down, she looked at Yang Wanning and said, “Yang Wanning, I’m sorry about what happened at the banquet. If it wasn’t for my lack of arrangements, you wouldn’t have almost gotten into an accident.” “Princess, what are you talking about? As long as they have the intention to harm others, they will definitely think of a way.” Yang Wanning shook her head.
After that, she asked curiously, “Oh right, why did the Emperor look for you that day?”
