Chapter 124 Hahaha Lin Wan'er raised her right arm as she sat down. Her maid came forward to roll up her sleeves. After she placed her arm on the table, she took out a white gauze scarf and covered her wrist. Mei Chengan sat down opposite her and took her pulse. Lin Wan'er's pulse was weak and rapid, which was mostly due to deficiency of both lung and spleen, and depletion of qi and yin, which was consistent with her external condition. Tuberculosis is a chronic debilitating disease whose pathological essence is yin deficiency. During the course of the disease, it often causes damage to the five internal organs due to repeated transmission. Although Lin Wan'er has been ill for many years, she has the careful care of her body by the imperial physician, so the lesion has not spread to the five internal organs and the problem is not too serious. Mei Cheng'an loosened his wrist to indicate that it was okay, and Lin Wan'er's maid hurriedly put away the scarf and helped Lin Wan'er put down her sleeves. Li Roujia asked hurriedly. "How is it, Brother Chengan? Can my cousin's illness be cured?" Mei Chengan smiled and signaled her to be patient. Lin Wan'er looked calm and waited patiently for Mei Cheng'an to speak.
Although Mei Cheng'an had an idea of the condition, he still had to ask about the symptoms. "Does the princess cough often, and occasionally cough up blood?" Before Lin Wan'er could speak, her maid spoke first. "Yes!" “Do you often feel hot flashes?” "Yes!" "Do you often sweat during the day?" "Yes!" "Are you losing weight?" "Yes!" Mei Chengan nodded. "How's the diet?" "I have been following the doctor's orders, abstaining from meat and fish, and eating a light diet." Mei Cheng'an nodded when he heard this. Most of his medical skills were learned from the Imperial Medical Bureau. Considering the tone of the imperial physicians, it was normal for them to give such instructions. The imperial physicians served all the nobles in the palace. If they were not careful, they might lose their official hats or even their heads at any time. Therefore, they just wanted to be safe in everything. When you encounter a difficult disease like tuberculosis, don't even think about using strong medicine for severe cases. It doesn't matter whether you get better or not. The most important thing is to be safe. Meat and oil are greasy, and Lin Wan'er is weak and her stomach cannot tolerate it, which can easily lead to nausea and vomiting. If she vomits out the nutritious food and medicine, it will be a waste of time. Mei Cheng'an was still thinking about how to put it, his expression somewhat serious. Li Roujia's heart skipped a beat. It was over. There was nothing Brother Cheng'an could do. Lin Wan'er had the same idea as Li Roujia, and she didn't feel disappointed. She had been disappointed too many times and had long given up any hope, she said softly. "Mr. Mei, if you have anything to say, you can speak frankly. I can bear any consequence."
Mei Cheng'an was stunned for a moment and burst out laughing. "My Lord, you are worrying too much. I am just thinking about what to say." Li Roujia's eyes lit up. "Brother Cheng'an, do you have a solution?" Mei Chengan smiled. “I have some ideas.” As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room became excited and expectant. Lin Wan'er was no exception. This was the first time in all these years that a doctor did not sigh after examining her, but instead said there was a way. Mei Chengan thought for a while and said. "The root cause of all the princess's illnesses is weakness! If the weakness is cured and made strong, then the coughing, vomiting blood, fever, spontaneous sweating and other symptoms will also go away." Li Roujia seemed to understand but not quite. Lin Wan'er seemed to be thinking about something, but she roughly understood what was said. "Then Mr. Mei, what should I do?" Mei Cheng'an said. “First, the princess must remain optimistic about her condition. Her confidence will have a great impact on the cure of the disease, so she must not respond negatively. Second, the county lord should lead a regular life, that is, eat in moderation, be nutritious, avoid spicy food, be careful in her daily life, avoid wind and cold, and have a proper balance between work and rest. The reason why the princess is getting thinner and thinner is because the intake cannot keep up with the consumption, so the princess's diet needs to be changed. In addition to eating fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and eggs, you should also eat more meat or animal offal. The meat here does not include fat, but refers to lean meat. third…." When Lin Wan'er heard that she could eat meat, her eyes lit up and she excitedly interrupted and asked. "Can I have some chicken legs?" Mei Chengan smiled. "Of course, any chicken, duck, fish or goose you see every day is fine." Lin Wan'er looked at her maid excitedly, and her maid teased her. "Miss, you can finally eat chicken legs openly." Lin Wan'er held her hand and nodded heavily, then looked at Li Roujia again. Li Roujia patted her hands and said. "Cousin, I know you are excited, but please don't get excited yet. Let's listen to what Brother Chengan has to say first." Lin Wan'er was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and quickly sat up straight, looking at Mei Cheng'an embarrassedly.
"I'm so sorry, I..." Mei Chengan stretched out his hand. "I understand! Princess, no need to explain." Lin Wan'er nodded. "Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Mei. Please continue." Mei Chengan nodded and continued. "The third thing is to breathe fresh air frequently, don't stay in a confined space all the time, and keep the bedroom as ventilated as possible. Another thing is to exercise more. The healthier your body is, the better it will be for your condition!" Li Roujia suddenly asked. "Can my cousin practice the Tai Chi that Brother Cheng'an taught me?" Mei Chengan smiled. "of course can!" Li Roujia immediately looked at Lin Wan'er. "Cousin, let me teach you!" Lin Wan'er smiled. "it is good!" Li Roujia looked at Mei Chengan. "Brother Cheng'an, is that all? Do you still need to take medicine?" Mei Cheng'an said. "Of course, a multi-pronged approach will naturally make the recovery faster, but I have to look at the prescription that the imperial physician gave to the princess." Maid Lin Wan'er spoke. "I brought the prescription!" As he said this, he took out a prescription from his sleeve and placed it in front of Mei Chengan. Mei Chengan was surprised. "Do you still carry prescriptions with you?" Maid Lin Wan'er explained. "It just so happened that a few of the herbs in the prescription had run out, and I was just about to go to the Imperial Hospital to get some medicine for the young lady." Mei Cheng'an nodded, picked up the prescription and took a look. The handwriting looked very familiar, but he couldn't remember which imperial physician wrote it, but the standard was very high. In terms of mild and nourishing effects, these herbs were the best combination. Lin Wan'er doesn't need to rush to cure the lesion now. The most urgent task is to replenish nutrition and become stronger.
Mei Chengan put down the prescription and said. "This prescription is very good. Just keep taking it. I will prescribe another dietary therapy for you." Upon hearing this, Li Roujia directly instructed Xiao Tao without waiting for Mei Chengan to speak. "Go get some paper and pen." Xiao Tao went and fetched it in a short while. Mei Cheng'an picked up his pen and started writing. "Tremella soup, Tremella has the effect of nourishing the body, moistening the lungs and nourishing the stomach. After soaking the Tremella, stew it with rock sugar until it becomes thick and eat it once a day. Lily porridge. Lily has the effect of moistening the lungs and relieving cough, clearing the heart and calming the nerves. You can cook lily and rice together into porridge and eat it once a day. Huangjing porridge... Sheep marrow and white honey soup... …… Black bean and red date soup. Black beans have the effect of nourishing the kidney and replenishing essence, nourishing yin and blood. You can cook black beans, astragalus and red dates together and take it in the morning and evening. " After finishing, he put down his pen and handed the list to Lin Wan'er. "You can drink one of the eight on the list every day according to your taste." Lin Wan'er took it and looked at it. She found some of the drinks she drank on a daily basis, so she felt more reassured. She handed the list to the maid, then looked at Mei Cheng'an. "Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Mei!" Mei Chengan smiled and waved his hand. "My lord, you don't have to... Hey, why do I feel like we've already had this conversation several times? My lord, please don't thank me again. I'm getting dizzy from all the politeness we've been saying." Hearing this, Li Roujia and Lin Wan'er laughed in unison. A few people were laughing when suddenly a man's voice came from outside the pavilion. "What are you guys talking about? You look so happy. Can I listen too?" The three of them looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man with side bangs, a jade ornament on his waist, wearing a dark green casual suit, and silver patterns embroidered on his chest. He looked extremely luxurious. He was walking towards them with his arms folded and a book rolled up in his hands, with a slightly strange step. The person who came was the second prince. …… At the gate of Prince Jing’s Mansion. Prince Jing's son, Li Hongcheng, was pacing back and forth. Almost all the people who were going to attend the poetry gathering had arrived, except for Fan Xian and Fan Ruoruo. Today's poetry gathering was held for Fan Xian, and it would be a big deal if he didn't come. So Li Hongcheng couldn't sit still and went to the door to wait. However, after waiting for a long time, there was no sign of any carriage or horse from the Fan residence, and he felt a little anxious. He looked at the intersection that was the only way to Prince Jing's Mansion for countless times. This time, there was finally movement. Li Hongcheng quickly turned around, regained his composure, and looked in that direction.
A sedan chair appeared at the intersection, carried by eight servants, with a maid on each side, and a guard following beside with large and small bags. A group of more than a dozen people walked towards the gate in a mighty manner. The sedan stopped in front of the gate, but the person who got off was Fan Ruoruo instead of Fan Xian. Li Hongcheng was stunned for a moment. Fan Ruoruo bowed. "His Royal Highness." Li Hongcheng nodded in response. "Ah, sister Ruoruo." He looked around and asked. "Brother Ling...is not coming?" Fan Ruoruo seemed a little embarrassed. "Brother...brother suddenly said he wanted to go home and change clothes..." To avoid embarrassment, Fan Ruoruo quickly changed the subject and pointed to the several packages in Teng Zijing's arms. "Ah, this is what my brother did for you..." Before he could finish his words, Fan Xian's voice came from the other side of the intersection. "I'm sorry, I'm late." Fan Xian was seen jogging to the door. Li Hongcheng saw a smile on Fan Xian's face. Fan Xian explained to Li Hongcheng. "I suddenly remembered to change my clothes. Hey, since this is your first visit, I prepared some gifts for you." As he spoke, Fan Xian took several packages from Teng Zijing's left hand beside him and picked up one of them. "This package contains...preserved fruit." Li Hongcheng took it in confusion. "This bag is...cane sugar." "These... I don't know what they are, you can taste them slowly by yourself later." As he said this, he stuffed a pair of packages into Li Hongcheng's hands. Li Hongcheng didn't know what to say. "Ah, ah, okay." Fan Xian took two more bags from Teng Zijing's right hand. "These two bags are not ordinary. I also bought you two bags of persimmons. You are the prince, and these are persimmons. It is also a fate." Fan Ruoruo couldn't help laughing when she heard this and quickly lowered her head.
Fan Xian didn't care whether Li Hongcheng could hold it or not, and stuffed it in his hand again. Li Hongcheng was holding a large pile of things in his arms, which were piled up to his neck. He couldn't understand what Fan Xian meant, so he could only laugh dryly. "Hehehe." …… (End of this chapter)
