Qin Sheng had been sitting for about two hours when a woman in her forties came out.

  That woman is dressed in bright clothes, but her headdress is simple, she's not the mistress, should be a respectable servant or maid.

  Qin Sheng stood up from his seat.

  As expected, this servant came forward and gave Qin Shi a four-bow salute: "Master Physician, my lord is inside, the old madam and the madam are inviting you to come in and talk..."

  Qin Sheng followed the mother into the inner chamber.

  As soon as Qin Sheng stepped into the inner chamber, he was hit with a nauseating stench.

  Incense was used again, and various smells were mixed together, making it very uncomfortable.

  The old lady of the Hu family, the madam and the servants had been here for a long time, their sense of smell was not so sensitive, and they couldn't feel it.

  The main room of the Hu family's house is decorated with great luxury and elegance.

  As soon as you enter the door, there is a twelve-leaf silver screen with Shu embroidery landscape painting.

  Behind the screen, there was a small space between the pillars. On the east side, there was a kang with a bright brocade quilt and embroidered pillows. Along the kang, there were a row of dark wood armchairs covered with black and green silk cushions with golden threads.

  The space between the eaves and the inner chamber was separated by a dark gold-coloured silk curtain.

  On the big kang in the room, two old men were sitting.

  Among them, the older one wore a golden embroidered jacket with a branch of begonia and red rice pearls on her forehead, her eyes were calm, but her eye sockets were sunken, and she had become thin.

  She should be the lady of Yong Xi Hou.

  It can be seen that she has been worried about these days.

  Another, wearing a rose-purple dress with floral patterns, was also extremely thin, with deep dark circles under her eyes, puffy eyelids, and redness, all caused by days of crying.

  Look at these two wives of the Hu family, they are worried sick about Yong Xi Hou's illness.

  The resentment in Qin's heart suddenly disappeared.

  He just felt pitiful.

  Yong Xi Hou is gone. This family has been widowed for two generations...

  Qin Sheng made a bow with his hands clasped together to the two madams.

  "The subordinate received the order and gave the pulse to Lord Hou. Qin Shen didn't know how to comfort Madame Hu and her daughter, so he got straight to the point, 'I don't know...'"

  "Not busy." Old Lady Hu suddenly spoke up and said to Qin Shen, "Please sit down, Doctor Qin."

  Qin Shengsi sat down on the armchair beside the kang as he was told.

  "Our family and the Qin family are not close acquaintances." The old lady's voice was warm and gentle, without a hint of sadness. "In the past, we have never invited Mr. Qin to see a doctor either... If you talk about grudges, there is even less..."

  Qin Shen knew at once that the old lady wanted to talk about his elder brother.

  He was not feeling very good in his heart.

  He listened silently.

  "...Wait until my husband, Lord Hou, recovers and you will receive a heavy reward." The old lady smiled lightly, then her voice suddenly turned stern. "If Doctor Qin engages in any deceitful behavior, don't blame me for being ruthless! By that time, the Qin family won't have any descendants left to continue their ancestral line, and no one will be left to offer sacrifices to your ancestors. Will you still have the face to meet your ancestors?"

  This is threatening him.

  If he wants to harm people like his elder brother Qin Wei Si, then Lady Hu will have to exterminate the entire Hu family.

  When facing such threatening words, Qin Sheng was able to turn around and leave with a flick of his sleeve.

  But he can't.

  He was ordered to take on the task and then report back.

  However, he can retort a few sentences and scold Old Lady Hu for looking down on people.

  No matter how fiercely he scolds her, Mrs. Hu would never drive him away.

  There is no doctor willing to come anymore...

  Qin Shen Si glanced at the old lady and thought of her son who was bedridden, his life hanging by a thread. Yet, in his heart, he felt a few pangs of sympathy for her.

  "He said in a low voice: 'Your humble servant will definitely do his best, Madam, don't worry...'"

  Madam Hu was finally satisfied. She nodded and let the maid roll up the silk canopy, personally taking Qin Sheng to see Marquis Yongxi.

  Seeing Yong Xi Hou, Qin Shen took a fright.

  He had seen Yong Xi Hou before and remembered his appearance.

  Yong Xi Hou is a bit fat.

  Now, Yong Xi Hou is thin and dry, his face is dull and dirty. His muscles are withered, the disease has reached its peak.

  His eyes could no longer see people clearly, and he was just making low mournful wails.

  Qin Sheng was about to sit down and take his pulse when he pulled again.

  Mrs. Hu hurried over and personally changed his clothes for him.

  Qin Shen looked at his stool and saw that it was like rotten bean paste with a bit of bloody pus.

  After tidying up the house, Qin Sheng came in again and sat down to take Yong Xi's pulse.

  Yong Xi Hou couldn't say a word, he just kept making low, mournful wails, his voice was bleak. Madame Hu cried again. Old Madame Hu also pursed her lips tightly.

  Yong Xi Hou Quan is feverish, with a weak and rapid pulse, and little tongue fluid.

  "This is internal heat toxin." Qin Shen finished taking the pulse and came out to say to the old lady, "What medicine did the previous doctor use?"

  In the past, I have only invited Dr. Gao.

  Old Lady Hu called for someone to bring over the prescription.

  Dr. Gao used "Ba Tou Weng Tang" from the "Shang Han Lun", Ba Tou Weng Tang, main medicine is Ba Tou Weng, Huang Lian and Qin Pi etc.

  Most cases of dysentery use Coptis chinensis as the main medicine, so in this prescription, Dr. Gao emphasized the use of Coptis chinensis, using four qian of it.

  Qin Shengyi sometimes couldn't grasp the timing.

  If he were to write a prescription, seeing that Yong Xi Hou's heat toxin was so severe, he would also increase the Huanglian, but dare not use four liang, at most two liang...

  Is it really Coptis' problem?

  If Miss Gu were here, she would definitely be able to determine how to use the medicine at once...

  Qin Shen Si is a very conservative person, he has never used a shortcut in his life.

  At this moment, he had to say to Mrs. Hu: "If the subordinate opens a prescription, it will be like this one. Bai Touweng Tang is the best treatment for dysentery in the prescription of Zhongjing... The subordinate is afraid that the medicine cannot be opened now, and needs to go back to discuss with friends, and send the prescription in the afternoon."

  Mrs. Hu was taken aback.

  Is there such a great doctor?

  This is incurable, should I go and ask someone for help?

  Madam Hu's tears welled up: The emperor had actually sent a mediocre doctor to their house.

  Mrs. Hu saw that Qin Shen was honest and kind, without any pretence. Just now she warned him, but he just listened quietly.

  People like him can still be trusted a little bit.

  Old Lady Hu liked listening to obedient and sensible people.

  She is willing to believe whoever listens to her.

  "She said: 'Thanks, Dr. Qin...'"

  Qin Sheng took his medical box and bid farewell, leaving.

  Madam Hu cried again: "Mother, this doctor is useless."

  "Which doctor is useful?" Old Lady Hu glanced coldly at her daughter-in-law, "With Lord Hou's illness, as long as I'm here, he'll naturally get better. Why are you always crying? Are you not ashamed?"

  Madam Hu stood up straight and didn't dare cry anymore, taking out her handkerchief to wipe away tears.

  Tears can't be wiped clean no matter how hard you try.

  Qin Shenshi came out of Yongxi Hou's mansion and rode his horse straight to the Gu residence.

  He hastily asked to see Gu Jinzheng.

  Gu Jinzhi also came out quickly, with Zhu Zhongjun still following behind him.

  Qin Shen hurriedly paid his respects to Zhu Zhonggui, then told Gu Jin about the illness of Yongxi Hou: "...... I'm afraid, what if it doesn't get better, that..."

  This is his chance to turn over.

  If things don't go well, he probably won't have another chance.

  When it comes to life and death, he has no choice but to be cautious.

  But surprisingly, Hu's family was also willing to let him leave halfway and go open a prescription...

  Gu Jin couldn't guess what Old Lady Hu was really thinking.

  She listened carefully to Qin Shenshi's description of Yongxi Hou's symptoms, then said: "According to what you say, it should be a severe case of heat toxin, deeply trapped in the blood division, pressing down on the large intestine. The presence of bloody stools is also due to the heat toxin burning the intestines and stomach."

  "I was also diagnosed like this......" Qin Sheng said, "It's just that the previous doctor prescribed Whitehead soup, and reused Huanglian, but it didn't work. I couldn't think of a better way..."

  Gu Jin thought for a moment.

  "Yong Xi Hou has been ill for almost a month, the root treatment is to clear heat and detoxify, cool blood and stop dysentery..." said Gu Jin, "First use Peach Blossom Decoction to expel purulent blood and treat ulcers; then use Whitehead Decoction..."

  Tao Hua Tang is also a formula in "Shang Han Lun", which is a purging and resolving agent, capable of expelling pus and blood, and generating flesh.

  Yong Xi Hou's blood has hot toxin, which has descended to the intestines, burning the large intestine, and there is also pus and blood stasis. If it is not cleared first, the medicine that follows will not be absorbed.

  Qin Shenyi listened and nodded repeatedly.

  He was anxious in his heart and forgot that Peach Blossom Decoction also has the effect of treating dysentery.

  "The medicine for Peach Blossom Decoction also needs to be cut and trimmed." Gu Jin continued.

  Qin Sheng's four bodyguards also followed Gu Jingzhou's words and turned around.

  He has thought of various principal drugs for Peach Blossom Decoction: Cinnabar, Licorice, Costus root, Ginseng, Angelica, White peony, White atractylodes...

  No, it's not right, Yong Xi Hou is now very weak, Bai Zhu cannot be used...

  "Remove Bai Zhu... " Qin Shen Si took over Gu Jin's words, "Also, remove Ren Shen. Tonifying the deficiency does not use Bai Zhu, and Ren Shen tonifies the strong but not the weak."

  Gu Jin smiled slightly.

  She nodded.

  "White-headed old man's soup also needs to be cut and added." Gu Jin said, "Five qian of white-headed old man, four qian of Qinpi, one qian of Huanglian, add one qian five, and add bitter ginseng. Huanglian only clears blood heat, but Yong Xi Hou's illness is no longer just blood heat, the heat toxin has sunk down, and there is also heat toxin in the large intestine, bitter ginseng..."

  "Ku Shen has the effect of clearing large intestine heat." Qin Sheng suddenly remembered.

  Bitter ginseng is rarely used on ordinary days, and he didn't think of it either.

  He said he remembered all of these pharmacological effects very clearly.

  Can't think of them when you need them...

  After all, it's just that his medical experience is too little.

  And Gu Jin...

  Qin Shenyi didn't have time to think about Gu Jinzhi's abilities anymore. After listening to one of Gu Jinzhi's talks, his confidence in saving Yong Xi Hou changed from having no grasp to having an 80% grasp.

  Now he has gradually become clear in his heart about taking medicine.

  He repeatedly bowed to Gu Jinzhi: "Thank you, Seventh Miss, for pointing out..."

  "You go quickly." Gu Jin said, "The Yong Xi Marquis is still waiting..."

  Qin Sheng didn't say anything else, picked up his medical box and quickly left again.

  Zhu Zhongjun listened to Gu Jinzhi's account of Qin Sheng's narration, and based on that alone, she could write a prescription and administer medicine. This skill was something many people couldn't match.

  "Just hang an IV drip and it's solved." Zhu Zhongjun said, "Traditional Chinese medicine is really troublesome!"

  "One inch of kindness is worth more than an inch of learning." Gu Jin said, "Traditional Chinese medicine attaches greater importance to supporting the body's normal functions and nourishing it. Western medicine uses drugs to kill bacteria in the body, relying on external forces; whereas traditional Chinese medicine uses drugs not to directly cure diseases but rather to stimulate the body's own functions to fight against pathogens. Generally speaking, after being treated with traditional Chinese medicine, one's immune system will become stronger..."

  Zhu Zhongjun did not say anything more.

  Gu Jinzhi can talk a lot of theory, he is unbeatable in argument.
