Chapter 282 A dead horse becomes a live doctor
Jiang Qing listened to Shen Ruolan's words, and recalled that she was just Jiang Dichen's concubine at the beginning, and later she faked her death to escape from Prince Han's Mansion. This made him less angry. He looked at Shen Ruolan and said, "Well, I was inconsiderate just now. Please forgive me, Miss Lan Wu."
Shen Ruolan came to help him with his medical treatment, so Jiang Qing had to bow to her first even if he didn't hide anything from her.
Shen Ruolan nodded at him without replying. She walked to the stool beside his bed and sat down, then said to Jiang Qing, "Your Highness, please put your hands down."
Since he came to see a doctor, Shen Ruolan didn't say anything and came up to help him take his pulse.
Jiang Qing also cooperated and extended his hand to Shen Ruolan.
After a while, Shen Ruolan withdrew her hand. She looked at Jiang Qing's eyes and lips, and finally asked him some questions.
Every time Shen Ruolan asked, she wrote down the detailed symptoms of his illness, just like she did in her previous life. After she had finished writing them all down, she looked at the symptoms and fell silent.
Du Fang saw this and looked at Shen Ruolan carefully and asked, "Miss Shen, my master..."
Shen Ruolan glanced at Jiang Qing and his servants, and asked Jiang Qing, "Do you need to ask someone to leave?"
Jiang Qing’s illness was none other than the infectious disease that everyone feared, tuberculosis!
After Jiang Qing heard what Shen Ruolan said, he glanced at the servants.
After the attendant signaled, he quickly bowed to Jiang Qing and turned to leave.
When Shen Ruolan saw that everyone had left, she stood up and moved a little further away from Jiang Qing before she spoke to him, "Your Highness, you have tuberculosis."
Shen Ruolan's words shocked Jiang Qing and his servant. Tuberculosis is a terminal illness that is incurable. Both of them felt very disappointed when they heard the result.
Jiang Qing was so angry that he almost choked. After he recovered, he looked at Shen Ruolan and asked, "But why did other doctors say that I was poisoned and not sick?"
He always thought that it was Jiang Dichen who poisoned him, which caused him to have no comfort for more than ten years. He wished to skin Jiang Dichen alive every day.
Shen Ruolan thought for a moment and said to Jiang Qing, "Your Highness, your tuberculosis is caused by other diseases. It is still in the early stages, so it is normal that other doctors have not diagnosed it."
After the diagnosis just now, Shen Ruolan had a general understanding of Jiang Qing's illness. Jiang Qing was born with poor lungs and was prone to infection. Later, due to untimely treatment, he contracted pneumonia and caused other diseases, and finally, he developed the current tuberculosis.
Jiang Qing listened to Shen Ruolan's words, he looked at her and asked: "What was my previous illness? Is it related to poisoning?"
Shen Ruolan shook her head and said, "If I'm not wrong in my diagnosis, you probably had congenital lung problems. You should have been prone to catching cold and coughing, or having difficulty breathing, etc. Since childhood, you have developed tuberculosis. It's because you kept coughing, and your already bad lungs became even worse, and eventually developed into the tuberculosis you have now."
Jiang Qing didn't hear clearly what Shen Ruolan said next. He suddenly remembered an unremarkable Taoist priest who had said to him with a nod of his head: "Young man, you are born with deficiencies, so you have to get more as much as possible, otherwise it will be difficult for you to become an immortal!"
He was seven years old at the time and didn't understand why the Taoist said that. Although his health was not very good at that time, it was not that serious, so he didn't take the Taoist's words seriously at all.
Thinking back to the old Taoist priest, Jiang Qing felt a little regretful. If he had pestered the old Taoist priest to treat his illness, wouldn't he have avoided suffering all these years?
However, twenty years had passed since this happened, and it was useless for him to regret it. Jiang Qing adjusted his emotions in his heart and asked Shen Ruolan, "How long do I have left?"
Shen Ruolan: "Uh..."
No normal person should say, "Doctor, please find a way to save me, what's this and what's that?"
Shen Ruolan didn't expect Jiang Qing to be so direct. She was silent for a moment and said to Jiang Qing: "It's hard to say."
Du Xiang, who was standing by, asked Shen Ruolan, "Miss Shen, everyone says that you have extraordinary medical skills, and are even better than the old doctor Shen. Can you please save my master?"
After saying this, he knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed to Shen Ruolan, saying, "Miss Shen, I beg you."
Shen Ruolan quickly dodged Du Fang. Seeing Jiang Qing looking at her with hope, Shen Ruolan thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, your illness is incurable. If you are willing to try your best, then I, Shen Ruolan, will take the risk and give it a try. Otherwise, even if you kill me, I can do nothing about it."
In fact, Jiang Qing's tuberculosis is still in the early stages. As long as he cooperates, there should be no problem in curing it.
However, his identity was not simple, and his lungs were born weak. If she didn't scare him, and something really went wrong, she, Shen Ruolan, would not be able to bear the consequences.
After Du Fang heard what Shen Ruolan said, he looked at his master and shouted, "Master..."
Jiang Qing was silent for a long time, then said to Shen Ruolan: "Okay."
Since I'm going to die anyway, I might as well let Shen Ruolan suffer. Maybe there's still a chance of survival.
Shen Ruolan heard that he agreed, and she continued: "But before treating the disease, Your Highness the Crown Prince must agree to a few conditions of mine, otherwise I will not treat it."
Jiang Qing said: "You say."
As long as it's not excessive, Jiang Qing can agree to it.
After Shen Ruolan heard what Jiang Qing said, she looked at him with a serious face and said, "First, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must personally write an imperial edict and inform the world that I, Shen Ruolan, will help you cure your illness, and whether it succeeds or fails, you cannot blame me and my family.
Second, no matter how you brothers fight, it has nothing to do with me, Shen Ruolan, but you must promise me that you will not lay any hands on my two children.
Third, I am just an ordinary person who also needs to eat, so I must be paid for treating His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Fourth, during the treatment, the patient must cooperate with me unconditionally. If any of the above is not met, I will not see the patient. "
Du Fang, who was standing by, listened to Shen Ruolan's request and accepted all the others except the first one which was a bit too much. He thought about it and asked Shen Ruolan, "Miss Shen, can the first one be changed? It's also okay to write an imperial edict, but can we not make it public?"
Shen Ruolan shook her head at Du Fang and said, "No."
After saying that, she stared at Du Fang and asked, "Your master is of noble status. If he really has an accident, do you think the Queen will let me, Shen Ruolan, go?"
Of course not, but Du Fang didn't dare to say it. He looked at his master and asked, "Master, what do you think?"
After a long silence, Jiang Qing said to his subordinates, "Do as she says."
Du Fang hesitated for a moment and replied to his master: "Yes"
After Du Fang finished speaking, he quickly prepared writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone.
Jiang Qing endured the discomfort and wrote two edicts himself after two quarters of an hour, and stamped them with his own seal. He gave one to Shen Ruolan and asked Du Fang to post the other on the outer wall of the Cangling City government office.
