The inner hall was kept very clean, but the smell of medicine in the air still couldn't cover up the faint smell in the room.
Shen Tianshu was very familiar with this peculiar smell.
That's the smell that often comes from patients who have been bedridden all year round.
Prince Rui was lying on the bed, his eyes were closed, his face was pale, and his cheeks were very thin, but he was very clean and had no bedsores, which showed that he had been taken care of very carefully.
Mrs. Guo stepped forward and took Prince Rui's hand out of the quilt and gently placed it next to it so that Shen Tianshu could diagnose his pulse.
Because he had been unconscious for too long, Prince Rui's pulse was slow and weak, making it difficult to distinguish. Shen Tianshu kept flicking his fingers, trying to feel the beating coming from his fingertips.
After diagnosing the pulse, Shen Tianshu confessed his crime, stepped forward and looked at Prince Rui's eyelids, gently opened his jaw to check the color of his tongue, and the more he looked at it, the tighter his brows became.
Prince Rui's intracranial blood congestion is quite serious, and ordinary methods may not be effective. Only Jiang's Golden Needle can be tried.
But Prince Rui's current problem is not just as simple as blood congestion and physical weakness. He has a serious accumulation of toxins in his body, which has now affected his organs, including his liver and kidneys.
And the strange thing is that judging from the pulse, there should have been corresponding symptoms long ago, but although Prince Rui looked pale and thin, there was no evidence of liver or kidney damage.
"I wonder if the prescriptions that Prince Rui has taken in the past few years are still in the archives?" Shen Tianshu asked with the intention of giving it a try.
Unexpectedly, Li Zian did not hesitate at all and said directly: "Yes! I will ask someone to get it right now."
Not long after, a servant came in with a wooden box with multiple drawers. Each year's prescriptions were arranged in chronological order and placed in a drawer.
More than three years have been enough to accumulate a thick stack of prescriptions.
Shen Tianshu took a rough look at it first, and found that most of it was Liu Xukun's handwriting, and there were a few other unfamiliar handwritings. As he went to the back, there were fewer unfamiliar handwritings, and basically only Liu Xukun's prescriptions for health care were left.
She spent an hour reading all the prescriptions before prescribing medicine for the prince. Everyone, including Liu Xukun, was very cautious. Shen Tianshu did not find any medicinal materials that might cause the accumulation of toxins in Prince Rui's body.
"Has Prince Rui had any symptoms such as difficulty passing stool, swollen calves, and yellow complexion in the past year?"
"Yes, there is!" Mrs. Guo said with even more excitement after hearing Shen Tianshu's explanation: "But later, Dr. Liu prescribed two pairs of medicines, and after taking them a few times, things gradually improved."
Shen Tianshu was startled when he heard this, and looked through the prescriptions in his hand again, but among the prescriptions for the past year, there was no prescription that could treat these conditions as Guo said.
And if these symptoms have already appeared, wouldn’t Liu Xukun, as his grandfather’s favorite disciple, have noticed anything unusual about Prince Rui?
"Princess, do you still remember the approximate date at that time?" Shen Tianshu asked.
"This... Doctor Liu has prescribed too many prescriptions for me. I really can't remember the details. I only know that it should have been in March or April this year."
Shen Tianshu searched for the prescription again according to the time range given by Guo, but still found none.
Li Zian could already tell that something was wrong at this time. He stood behind Guo and made a silent gesture to Shen Tianshu.
"Prince Rui's situation is special. I still need to go back and think about how to treat him."
Mrs. Guo didn't expect that Shen Tianshu would be able to revive a person who had been in a coma for more than three years with just one move. When she heard that there was a cure, she was so happy that she told Li Zian to take care of the person. Send it back.
After coming out of the main hall, Li Zian took Shen Tianshu to the flower hall in his yard. After sitting down, he asked: "I saw Miss Shen just now and she seemed to have many unfinished words. Now you can tell me."
"Your Majesty's problem is no longer just congestion in the brain. There are also many toxins accumulated in the body. However, I have checked all the prescriptions that Your Majesty has used for more than three years, but there is no medicine that can cause such a situation.
"These toxins have been accumulating all year round. Starting this year, they have slowly begun to corrode the prince's liver, kidneys and other organs. What I just asked the princess about is the symptoms of liver and kidney damage. When these symptoms appear, it means... …”
"The situation in the body is already a bit serious..." Li Zian continued with a stern face, "My mother said that Dr. Liu prescribed medicine at that time, and it got better after taking it a few times. However, when you checked the pulse, you found that the toxins accumulated in my father's body were If it is still there, it means that the medicine prescribed by Dr. Liu only solved the superficial symptoms but did not cure the root cause."
"And according to what the princess said, I have not found the corresponding prescription."
"You mean, there may be something wrong with Dr. Liu?"
Shen Tianshu shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily the case. Considering the prince's current physical condition, using too many decoctions for treatment is also a great burden on his body. In this case, it is also possible that Treating the symptoms rather than the root cause does not mean that we do not want to cure the root cause, but that there is no way to cure it.
"I just think that there should be an insider in the palace. This person not only has access to Prince Rui, but also has access to the prescription, and can take the prescription without anyone noticing.
"Why, could it be that the Crown Prince has already suspected Liu Yuyi?"
"Of course not. Dr. Liu has been treating my grandmother for many years and has been working diligently. My grandmother is also in very good health. How could I doubt Dr. Liu?"
Li Zian's heart trembled, he didn't expect Shen Tianshu to be so sharp.
Just as Li Zian was about to say something, he suddenly stretched out his hand to hold his heart. His expression was quite painful, but it soon eased and his expression slowly relaxed.
"Master, what is this?" Shen Tianshu saw that Li Zian's condition had worsened, and he felt a sense of revenge in his heart.
"It's nothing. I haven't slept much recently and I feel a little uncomfortable occasionally." Li Zian said and stood up, "I will thoroughly investigate the matter of ghosts in the palace. I also hope that Miss Shen can start treating her father as soon as possible. No matter what your request is, , as long as Prince Rui's Mansion can do it, I can do it for you."
"Logically speaking, when the prince fell from his horse, acupuncture and medicine should have been able to remove blood stasis. Why did it take so many years?"
"The location of my father's injury is quite dangerous. Even Dr. Liu did not dare to use acupuncture easily. He said that he was afraid that only Jiang's golden acupuncture could be used."
As soon as Li Zian mentioned the Jiang family, Shen Tianshu's heart suddenly lifted.
"Back then, I took the letter written by Dr. Liu and personally took people to the Jiang family for help. Unfortunately, that disaster caused the only two miracle doctors who knew how to use the Jiang family's golden needles to die. Where can I go to find the third one? Someone who knows how to use the Jiang family’s golden needles!”
