Chapter 14: A Strange Illness Strikes

It has been the fifth day since Pang Ruyan fell into the water, and Pang Ruyan's body has recovered as before in the past few days, but the whole person is very sleepy, barely able to hold on during the day, take a walk in the back garden, and play with his younger brother, but it is not good at night, often after dinner, sleepiness has already hit, and he can fall asleep on the table.

Even the amount of rice has increased a lot, in the past, Pang Ruyan could only eat one bowl of rice or one steamed bun when eating, but now she has to eat more than two bowls of rice, and the amount of dishes is more than half of what she used to be. At first, the maid Zhu'er and Pang Ruyan didn't pay attention to it, they just thought that it was because they had not eaten for the two days that they fell into a coma, so they were hungry in their stomachs, so they ate more food to recover their bodies.

It wasn't until this day that Pang Ruyan slept until three poles in the sun before waking up, and when she woke up, she bluntly said that she was extremely hungry, and when Zhu'er brought the food, Pang Ruyan didn't look like eating before, although the meal was still gentle and elegant, chewing slowly, but she couldn't stop eating all the food on the table, and also ate all the chicken and fish on the table.

You must know that in the past, the young lady didn't like to eat these meat dishes very much, and every time there was meat dishes on the table, she only tasted them. Especially the chicken, almost without chopsticks. Now the young lady swept away all the food on the table, and even drank a bowl of chicken soup, and after eating, the young lady kept holding her stomach and saying that she was hungry and not full.

Miss, what's the matter? Could it be the sequelae left after falling into the water, or is it an evil spirit? While shocked, Zhu'er hurriedly reported the matter to the master, and invited all the doctors sitting in the hall of several major pharmacies in the city, and for a while, Pang Mansion was tense again, and Pang Shangshu, doctors, and maids all gathered in Pang Ruyan's courtyard.

"Doctor, what's wrong with my daughter? Didn't she say she had recovered from falling into the water last time, why did she still have such a strange illness? In Pang Ruyan's boudoir, Ruyan was lying on the bed, the curtain fell, Pang Shangshu was sitting at the head of the bed, and the doctors were sitting on the stools next to the bed to check the pulse one by one.

The doctors just took the pulse quietly and did not answer, and after a while, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, looking at each other, with surprise and incomprehension in their eyes, and they were surprised and did not speak. A doctor surnamed Hu even frowned, and his thoughtful appearance made Pang Shangshu even more anxious, grabbed the doctor's sleeve and asked in a panic, "What's wrong with my daughter, you said." โ€

"Don't panic, adults, according to the small experience, the young lady is afraid that she is suffering from typhoid fever, and her health will be fine in the short term. Just ยทยทยทยทยท" The doctor who was grabbed by Pang Shangshu's sleeve, paused when he said this, and Pang Shangshu tightened his sleeve, "Just what?"

"Judging from the pulse, Miss is a symptom of typhoid fever, which should be manifested as hot-headedness and weakness, but Miss's symptoms of hunger, increased appetite and drowsiness are not manifestations of typhoid fever. It's weird, the little one hasn't seen it for many years. Dr. Hu shook his right hand, with an expression of disbelief on his face, and a bit of helplessness in his eyes.

Before the words fell, several other doctors also nodded in agreement, "Yes, we have never seen such a strange disease." โ€

"Strange disease? How can we cure it? The doctor has a good plan, I beg you to cure my daughter, and I will send someone to buy any medicinal materials you need immediately." Pang Shangshu stood in front of several doctors, looking at them one by one, wanting to get a trace of confidence or eyes from their faces, but he saw them shaking their heads one by one, and the doctor who spoke just now also revealed helplessness in his eyes. "My lord, it's not that we don't want to treat it, it's just that the symptoms are difficult to determine, so we can't prescribe the right medicine. โ€

"Yes, yes, please ask your Excellency to be smart, we really can't do anything. After saying that, several doctors turned around with the medicine box and wanted to leave. Pang Shangshu was in a hurry, stopped in front of him, and looked anxious, "Don't go, doctor, take a look." โ€

As the saying goes, the heart of a doctor's parents, Dr. Hu knows that Pang Shangshu, who is a father, is anxious and panicked at the moment, and comforted, "Don't worry, my lord, our medical skills are limited, you might as well ask the imperial doctor in the palace to take a look, maybe you can see the clues." โ€

As soon as he heard this, Pang Shangshu's originally gray eyes suddenly lit up, and a little hope flashed in his eyes. Yes, you can go to the imperial doctor in the palace, these doctors are not very skilled, and the imperial doctor in the palace is well-informed, and there must be a way. Thinking of this, Pang Shangshu stretched out his hand to summon the housekeeper and instructed him to go and ask the imperial doctor to come immediately.

After speaking, he thanked several doctors and instructed his subordinates to take the silver to the doctors, which was regarded as the outpatient fee. The doctors arched their hands and left with the medicine boxes on their backs.

Less than half an hour after the doctor left, Pang Ruyan already felt sleepy, and her eyes were supported hard, but she still couldn't help but lie on the bed and fall asleep. Seeing his daughter's strange appearance, Pang Shangshu was even more worried and anxious, "What about the imperial doctor, why haven't you invited it yet?" Pang Shangshu was so anxious that he kept pacing outside the house, urging people to go to the door to check if the imperial doctor had arrived.

About an hour later, the housekeeper drove the carriage to invite several imperial doctors, and under the leadership of the little maid, hurried to Pang Ruyan's bed. At this moment, Ru Yan was already drowsy, although her complexion was delicate and ruddy, but what was the cause of this abnormal symptom and how to treat it, Pang Shangshu pinned his hopes on several imperial doctors.

As soon as the imperial doctor walked to the door, Pang Shangshu hurriedly stepped forward, bowed with both hands, and looked anxious, "Imperial doctor, hurry, save my daughter." โ€

Several imperial doctors walked to Pang Ruyan's bed, and when they saw that she was asleep, they picked up a handkerchief and put it on Pang Ruyan's wrist, and then sat on the stool next to the bed to carefully diagnose the pulse. Judging from the pulse, the diagnosis results are the same as those of several doctors, but the symptoms shown are by no means typhoid fever, drowsiness, hunger, and increased appetite, which clearly reveals abnormalities.

Several people looked at each other, their eyebrows were full of questions, and the leading Imperial Doctor Zhang asked, "What has Miss eaten recently?"

Ru Yan's food, clothing, housing and transportation have always been cooked by her personal maid Zhu'er, so she also knows the most about food. Pang Shangshu turned his eyes to Zhu'er and said, "Tell the imperial doctor about Miss's diet in detail." โ€

"Since the sun went down a few days ago, the young lady has only taken the medicine prescribed by the doctor for two days, and then some daily meals, chicken, fish, some vegetables, etc., as usual. In addition to eating more and getting tired easily, the young lady has nothing abnormal and no discomfort. โ€

Imperial Doctor Zhang rolled his eyebrows and asked, "What kind of medicine?" Bring me the prescription, do you still have any medicinal materials? What about the decoction residue? I want to take a look at all of them." โ€

"Yes, yes, the slave and maid will go. "The prescriptions prescribed by the doctor have always been kept in order not to be needed from time to time. Zhu'er took the order, hurriedly went to the drawer and took out the prescription and handed it to the imperial doctor. He hurried to the kitchen and brought the unopened herbs with the remaining dregs of the jar. The doctor also prescribed this medicine for a few days, and the young lady has been taking it, so the medicine residue is still there.

Several imperial doctors first looked at the prescription, and after reading it, they nodded, and one of the imperial doctors said, "That's right, the prescription is indeed prescribed for the symptoms of wind and cold, and it is for the young lady to ward off the cold." โ€

After speaking, he picked up the medicinal herbs and medicinal residues with the other imperial doctors, put them to his mouth and sniffed them, and picked up a few medicinal materials and put them in the palm of his hand to look around. Imperial Doctor Zhang, who was in the lead, looked at it even more carefully, and even took a closer look at the powder in the medicine jar. After a while, Imperial Doctor Zhang asked, "Has Miss been taking this medicine all along?"

"Yes, they are all medicines prescribed by the doctor, and they have not changed. It was the slave who went to grab the medicine in person, and asked the doctor in the pharmacy to check it carefully, and it couldn't be wrong. โ€

"That's weird, Miss's wind chill is almost better, how can there be such a strange disease. Imperial Doctor Zhang couldn't help frowning, "When did Miss start to have such symptoms, that is, lethargy." โ€

Zhu'er frowned, and after recalling all the conditions of the young lady in the past few days, she replied, "It's about the third day after falling into the water, and the young lady got up later than usual in the morning, and ate a little more. But the young lady didn't eat anything else before, just woke up in a coma and took medicine and some porridge. โ€
