Chapter 139: Empty Joy Add 1 to Carol779135's Crystal Slipper
Mu Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, Cui Pu hurriedly pulled her behind her, and blocked herself between Mu Jiaojiao and the old man.
The old man was full of anxiety, and even raised his hand to push Cui Pu. "Get out of the way!"
"It's almost time for you to get out of the way!" Cui Pu pulled Mu Jiaojiao back, but his eyes stared coldly at the old man in front of him, "Who are you?
"I've got serious things to do!" cried the old man.
"Is it serious to bully my lady?" Cui Pu sneered, "You are dreaming!"
"Brother Yannan, what's wrong with you?" Guo Tingshi was also startled when he saw this, and quickly pulled the old man aside, "Didn't we say that we would have a good talk with Mrs. Liu? What are you doing?"
"I ...... No, it's her...... She ......" The old man pointed to Mu Jiaojiao, who was standing behind Cui Pu, and the shock in his eyes did not fade for a long time.
Guo Tingshi's eyebrows twisted slightly. "Brother Yannan, what do you want to say?
The old man still pointed at Mu Jiaojiao. "I can't say that clearly! Now you just have to let me take her pulse and let me see if it's what I think, and I'll know!"
Guo Tingshi was also full of helplessness when he heard this. He hurriedly arched his hand over to Cui Pu: "Cui Liulangjun, Sixth Young Lady, please forgive me." My old friend, surnamed Chang, works at the Tai Hospital, and he is a medical idiot who loves to delve into strange diseases. Today, I should have seen that the sixth young lady was a little sick, and he couldn't help it for a while. Do not be like him. ”
It turned out that he was the Imperial Physician Chang, the Imperial Physician who was good at treating sword injuries and wandered around the homes of military generals all the year round. Mu Jiaojiao finally understood where his hostility towards him came from in the first place.
When Cui Pu heard this, he sneered: "What about the medical idiot? Is there a person like him who comes over to check the pulse of others when he sees someone else is sick? He is embarrassed to say that he disdains to be with us, and we also disdain to be with him! Guo Tingshi, you come to ask for medicine, and we naturally welcome it." But if this person is here, then forget it! Please go back, Uchiko has really been unwell for the past two days, and you can come back to discuss the matter of medicine in half a month. ”
"Wait. At this time, Mu Jiaojiao suddenly spoke.
Cui Pu turned his head. "Are you okay?"
"Since Imperial Physician Chang wants to take my pulse, let him take a look!" Mu Jiaojiao said.
Cui Pu looked unhappy. "You saw what attitude this old man had towards you just now, why should you give him a good look now? Just drive him out, our Cui family doesn't welcome such people!"
"The visitor is a guest, and the Imperial Doctor Chang is also a respected old lady doctor in Chang'an City. Aren't you afraid that you will do this, and your aunt and uncle will know and give you a good look?" Mu Jiaojiao said in a low voice.
Cui Pu was immediately choked. "Well, if you want to show him, you can show him. But let me make it clear to you first, if he says anything to stimulate you later, don't expect me to help you out!" he said indignantly, he was obviously helping her out, why didn't she appreciate it?
"Will you sit idly by?" Mu Jiaojiao didn't believe.
Cui Pu snorted coldly and didn't start.
Mu Jiaojiao smiled slightly, then asked Hongdou to roll up her sleeves, put a silk handkerchief on her wrist, and nodded to Imperial Doctor Chang: "Please!"
Doctor Chang hurriedly walked over, and his two fingers lightly landed on her wrist.
After closing his eyes and examining a cup of tea, he opened his eyes, stared at Mu Jiaojiao's face for a long time, and told her to open her mouth and stick out her tongue to show her. After reading it, he lowered his eyes and thought for a while before asking, "Did you get sick not long ago?"
And so it is. Mu Jiaojiao shook his head.
"At the time of the onset of the disease, I first vomited blood in my mouth, my limbs twitched, and then I had chills all over my body, so I couldn't cover it warmly?"
Cui Pu listened, and his face gradually became solemn. "Do you know what disease she has?"
"I don't know. Doctor Chang shook his head.
"If you don't know, how can you tell her symptoms when she got sick?"
"That's because I met someone who had the same disease as her. Chang Taiyi said.
"And what about that man? Where is he now?"
"He's dead. was tortured by this disease for several years, and finally couldn't survive and committed suicide by throwing himself into the water. ”
Cui Pu's face changed greatly. "When was that?"
"Twenty years ago. At that time, I was just a little medicine boy beside my master, and I went with him to the mountains to collect medicine, and I met him. He was only in his twenties at the time, but he had been suffering from that illness for a long time. The master kept him by his side and tried his best to heal him, but it didn't work. After ten years like this, the attack of the disease became more and more serious, and he finally couldn't bear it anymore and committed suicide by throwing himself into the water at the moment before the onset of the disease. Doctor Chang sighed.
"In other words, although you have seen this disease, you are also helpless about it?" Cui Pu asked in a deep voice.
Doctor Chang nodded. Later, after the man passed away, the master studied for a long time, but he was never allowed to enter. Later, I went to the Tai Hospital, and I also checked the classics in the palace, but I did not see any written record of this disease. After so many years, I almost thought it was just a dream I had when I was young, but now I have seen her again!" As he spoke, his gaze turned to Mu Jiaojiao again, "Why did you get this disease, when did you get it, and how did you get it?"
"I don't know. Mu Jiaojiao shook her head, "Since I was born, I have had this disease. As for the source of this disease, my family is also unclear. ”
"Yes. The man also said that he didn't know how he got it, but suddenly he had a seizure in one day. Then on that day every year, he would have a seizure, each more intense than the last, making him worse than dead. Doctor Chang sighed in a low voice.
Cui Pu turned his head suddenly: "Didn't you say that it was just a little problem, and it was like this every year? Why did he say that it would be more intense every time? You lied to me again?"
"I didn't!" Mu Jiaojiao looked confused, "The extent of my seizures over the years has been the same, and there is no sign of deepening." ”
"Is that so?" Doctor Chang was shocked again.
Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly called the mother and daughter of Hongdou, and they unanimously determined that Mu Jiaojiao's condition had not worsened, and it had been the case all these years.
Cui Pu hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief - it's good if it doesn't intensify, it's good if it doesn't.
Doctor Chang was shocked. "Hasn't it worsened? Does that mean it's still different from him?" he couldn't help but check Mu Jiaojiao's pulse again, "I haven't seen any difference in the pulse, why hasn't her symptoms worsened?"
"I didn't see it, it's because you are not skilled!" Cui Pu couldn't help but scold. He had been looking at this old man for a long time. As soon as he entered the door, he picked his nose at Mu Jiaojiao, and he was shocked again just now, almost scared him to death. At first, when I heard him say that he had seen a similar illness to Mu Jiaojiao, he thought he could help, but after ten years, he ended up watching that man die of pain, so what hope did he have to hope for? This old man must also be a quack.
Hearing him scold, Imperial Physician Chang snorted coldly: "No matter how good my skills are, I am not as good as Mrs. Cui Liu's bad character, just to vent my anger, I made up some unwarranted illnesses to scare people!"
