Chapter 253 Blood Congestion

On the other side, when Bai Yan was examining the eldest princess's head, when his fingers touched it, a high-definition image appeared in Bai Yan's mind.

This image is exactly what is going on in the Grand Princess's head.

I saw that the eldest princess' brain was filled with various complex nerves and blood vessels, but at a certain location, there was an obvious shadow.

Bai Yan frowned slightly, and his fingers moved slowly, landing on the shadow somewhere on the left side of his head. The image in Bai Yan's mind became clearer at this time. He saw a blood clot blocking a blood vessel somewhere in the brain, which was part of the reason why the eldest princess went mad.

Bai Yan checked the eldest princess's head and found no other problems except for a blood clot on the left side of her head. After checking her pupils, Bai Yan had an idea in his mind and stopped checking.

"How did the examination go?" Xu Qingyi also knew Bai Yan's abilities. After seeing Bai Yan finish examining the eldest princess's head, she looked up at Bai Yan and asked.

“I checked it and found something.

Mr. Zhang, is this the spot where the princess fell and hit her head?" Bai Yan pointed to the spot where the princess had a blood clot and asked Zhang Chengwen.

"Yes, it's in this place. Could it be that Imperial Physician Bai, you have discovered something?" When Zhang Chengwen saw that Bai Yan only checked his mother's head once and found the place where she had hit her head before, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Bai Yan and asked.

He also vaguely felt that the opportunity to cure his mother's madness might lie in Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan.

This made Zhang Chengwen excited and expectant, but his face remained expressionless.

"Indeed, there are some findings." Bai Yan nodded and continued, "After a careful examination of the princess's brain, I found that there seemed to be a blood clot where she fell. It blocked part of the blood vessels in the princess's brain, causing her madness."

"Blood clot?" Zhang Chengwen was a little surprised. He had never heard that a blood clot in the brain could cause madness.

"This should be part of the reason why the eldest princess went crazy, but there are other reasons." Upon hearing this, Xu Qingyi checked the dozen or so prescriptions that the imperial physician had written for the eldest princess.

It was discovered that most of the prescriptions written by these imperial doctors were for nourishing the heart and soothing the nerves, calming the nerves and dispelling wind.

There is not a single prescription for promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, or unblocking meridians.

This also means that there is a blood clot in the eldest princess's brain, which has blocked her blood vessels and is one of the causes of her madness. However, the imperial doctors did not discover this and prescribe the right medicine.

"These imperial doctors..." Xu Qingyi frowned slightly, feeling somewhat disappointed with the medical skills of these imperial doctors.

"The medical skills of these imperial doctors are not bad, but they are not as knowledgeable and powerful as us. Most of them focus on common diseases in the palace, and they may not have much experience in this special situation." When Bai Yan saw that Xu Qingyi was a little disappointed with the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital, Bai Yan walked up to Xu Qingyi and spoke in her ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Imperial Physician Bai and Imperial Physician Xu have now found the crux of the problem. So can you prescribe the right medicine to help my mother regain consciousness and cure her madness?" When Zhang Chengwen heard that Bai Yan had found the blood clot in his mother's brain, it seemed that he had found the crux of the problem. His mother's illness had troubled him for a long time, so he naturally hoped to cure her as soon as possible. Zhang Chengwen asked with great joy.

Xu Qingyi pondered for a moment, then said: "I will first prescribe drugs that can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, extinguish wind and dredge meridians, to help the blood clot in the Grand Princess's brain dissipate. Secondly, we need to find other reasons that led to the Grand Princess's madness, and then prescribe the right medicine.

I know a set of acupuncture techniques that have a good therapeutic effect on any type of madness that is caused by it.

Wait for the decoction to dissolve the blood clot in the princess's brain first."

"This...is this feasible?" Zhang Chengwen hesitated. His mother's illness has tormented her for so many years. He naturally hopes to cure her as soon as possible, but he also knows that brain diseases are very difficult to treat and can be dangerous if not handled with care.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Zhang, I will never joke about the eldest princess' life." Bai Yan saw Zhang Chengwen's hesitation.

Zhang Chengwen felt a little relieved after hearing Bai Yan say this.

"Okay, then please ask Imperial Physician Bai and Imperial Physician Xu to treat him as soon as possible." Zhang Chengwen nodded, then ordered the servants to prepare medicinal materials and acupuncture tools.

Xu Qingyi first wrote out a prescription and asked the Zhang family's servants to prepare and boil the medicine. Then, he personally gave the princess acupuncture.

In addition to the acupuncture method of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, the thirteen ghost gate needles are also used.

The Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles are specifically used to treat mental illnesses and have significant effects.

Prince Xun had a deep understanding of the effects of the Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles. It was Xu Qingyi who cured Prince Xun's mania with the Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles.

At this moment, Xu Qingyi inserted silver needles into the body, each needle entering the acupoints, and the needle movements were very fast.

The eldest princess, who was originally sleeping soundly, fell asleep with a frown on her brows. After a few injections of the Thirteen Ghost Needles, her tense nerves relaxed at this moment. She slowly relaxed her brows and fell asleep more soundly.

After Xu Qingyi had inserted seven of the Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles, he stopped. He twisted the silver needles in the middle and when he saw that the time was almost up, he pulled out the needles, and the first treatment was over.

"That's all for today's treatment. As for the decoction, feed it to the princess once in the morning and evening.

In addition, I will come to the eldest princess's house every day to take her pulse and perform acupuncture. I will change the prescription and the number of acupuncture treatments per day according to her condition.

Master Zhang, when does the princess fall asleep during the day? I think it would be a good time for me to give her acupuncture.

I am afraid that when the princess is crazy, she will go crazy and affect the acupuncture. After all, if the silver needle is inserted into the head, if external force intervenes, I am afraid... "Xu Qingyi reminded.

"Doctor Xu, please rest assured. My mother goes to sleep at noon every day. I'd like to trouble Imperial Doctor Xu to come and give my mother acupuncture and take her pulse at this time." Zhang Chengwen said a little embarrassedly.

"Okay, I'll come to the Princess's residence every day at noon to give her acupuncture." Xu Qingyi nodded and continued to remind her, "Also, pay special attention to the Princess's diet. Do not eat spicy or greasy food. It's best to eat light food and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, which will help her recover from her illness."

"Yes, Doctor Xu. I will keep your instructions in mind and tell the servants to prepare." Master Zhang nodded in agreement.

"That's good. I'll go back today and come back at 9:00 p.m. tomorrow." Xu Qingyi packed up his medical box and prepared to leave.

"Doctor Xu, take care. I'll see you off." Master Zhang quickly stood up and personally escorted Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan out the door.
