Massage is strenuous work, and Shen Tianshu's current body is not as strong as in his previous life. He has to massage Prince Rui's acupuncture points from head to toe, comb his meridians, and explain the key points to Song Changlin while doing the massage.
As soon as she finished combing her upper body, she was already so tired that her forehead was sweating and her fingers were starting to feel a little sore.
Princess Rui watched from the side and said hurriedly: "Mrs. Tong, take a rest first and then continue pressing later."
Shen Tianshu took advantage of the time when the maid turned Prince Rui over, straightened up and took a breath, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, to clear the meridians, you have to go from head to toe in one breath. If you stop for too long, the previous efforts will be in vain. ”
"So that's it." Princess Rui finally understood. "It seems that Dr. Song is still the one who gives the prince a massage on weekdays. In terms of strength and stamina, men are better."
Princess Rui said and looked at Song Changlin: "I usually watch you massaging the prince every day, but I don't think anything about it. Now that I see Lady Tong so tired, I realize that you have really put in the effort."
Song Changlin hurriedly said modestly: "Thank you, Madam. The massage I give to the prince on weekdays is not as complicated as the technique taught by Madam Tong this time, and there are not so many acupuncture points, so it is not too hard."
The maid had already helped Prince Rui turn over, and Shen Tianshu continued to massage him, explaining to the two of them: "The prince didn't wake up before, and the massage every day was just to prevent his body from shrinking due to being stationary for a long time.
"But precisely because the prince is unconscious, the massage must be done in moderation and not excessive.
"Now that the prince has woken up, the massage and dredging of the meridians now are to allow the prince to resume activities as soon as possible. It is indeed a little different from before.
"However, although this set of massage takes a lot of time and effort, it only needs to be done once every three to five days, depending on the situation."
Song Changlin heard this and asked hurriedly: "Mrs. Tong, based on the situation you mentioned, how should we judge the time interval?"
“At the beginning, the technique must be gentle and not too forceful. There should be an interval of five days between each massage.
"After the prince has adapted for a period of time, you can gradually increase your strength.
"At this time, you need to observe more, communicate more with the prince, and adjust the interval according to the prince's acceptance of the massage strength."
When Song Changlin heard that he had to communicate with Prince Rui, he felt a little numb.
When he was brought in by Li Zian to massage Prince Rui, Prince Rui had been in a coma for some time.
He had never seen Prince Rui before he was injured, and he had no idea about his temperament.
Although I have been in the palace for such a long time, I have heard about some of Prince Rui's past events, and the servants in the palace all praised him for being modest, polite, and kind to others.
It's not that Song Changlin didn't believe these words, but he had come into contact with many patients who were bedridden or had limited mobility due to injuries or strokes.
Generally speaking, such patients, no matter how good their tempers were before getting sick, will inevitably become more and more irritable after getting sick.
What's more, Prince Rui, who is the best among people, has never suffered such a blow since he was a child.
He has just woken up now, and he probably hasn't fully understood his situation yet.
After a while, when he finds that although he can hear and see, but cannot speak or control his body, his temper will definitely get worse and worse.
But thinking about it, he had no choice but to bite the bullet now that the matter had come to this.
The matter of Prince Rui's awakening is still kept secret.
If he gave up the job at this time, he was very afraid that Li Zian would find someone to kill him directly in order to keep the secret.
After all, there is no one in this world who can keep secrets better than the dead.
As soon as Shen Tianshu looked at Song Changlin's face, he knew that he was having random thoughts again.
"Doctor Song, do you remember what I just told you?"
Song Changlin came to his senses upon hearing this and knew that Shen Tianshu was talking about him, not about the massage, but about the secret conversation they had just had in the wing.
It's just that there are some things that I can't say directly in front of Princess Rui.
He immediately calmed down and apologized seriously and said: "Ms. Tong, I'm sorry, I was distracted just now.
"I promise that I will never think about it again in the future and will remember it firmly."
Princess Rui didn't know why, and comforted her by saying, "Doctor Song, don't be too nervous. It's okay if you can't remember it all at once.
"I have already asked someone to record everything Mrs. Tong said. I will ask someone to make a copy for you later. Read it a few times and you will remember it."
Shen Tianshu's massage for Prince Rui took a full hour and a half.
After rubbing the last acupuncture point, she straightened her waist, which was already a little sore and stiff, wiped the sweat from both sides of her cheeks with a handkerchief, and asked softly: "How does the prince feel now? Is there anything that feels uncomfortable?"
Prince Rui blinked twice, indicating that there was no such situation.
"Then when I massage you, will your hands and feet feel it?"
Prince Rui blinked twice more, but fortunately he did not show any disappointment.
"Okay, this is just your first massage, don't worry, you should feel it after a few more massages."
Shen Tianshu comforted Prince Rui, then turned to Song Changlin and explained: "Your Majesty can't speak yet, so during the massage, you must pay special attention to His face and expression. If anything goes wrong, you must stop immediately and find out the reason. Decide whether to continue."
"Yes, I have written it all down."
"You go back in the next few days and carefully digest what I taught you today. I will come back in three days.
"When the time comes, you will be responsible for massaging the prince, and I will watch from the side."
Hearing what she said, Song Changlin immediately became nervous. He turned to look at the female officials who were taking notes at the table in the corner of the room. He couldn't wait for them to make another copy. He wished he could ask for the original copy immediately and review and consolidate it while his memory was still there. once.
But Prince Rui and Princess Rui joked: "In three days, we will all see if Dr. Song can successfully leave the army.
"Everyone of you, please serve Doctor Song well these days.
"Whether he can successfully leave the army depends on when we can leave the city to escape the summer heat!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room instantly became much more relaxed. The maids and female officials all looked at Song Changlin, and then burst out laughing.
The nervousness on Song Changlin's face also faded a lot, and he showed a shy smile and said: "You must prepare well when you go back, and try to pass Lady Tong's school examination in one try, so as not to delay the prince and queen's summer vacation."
Shen Tianshu had never understood before that someone like Song Changlin, who was timid and sensitive, liked to think wildly and frightened himself, could persist in Prince Rui's palace for such a long time.
After seeing this scene, I finally understood that Princess Rui's easy-going personality really contributed to this.
