Chapter 252 The Eldest Princess

"You can take a look at the situation on the princess' side. If you take a good look, it will be a great achievement. The emperor may even promote you.

If you can't cure it, it's not a big deal. Just pretend to be good and go to the Princess's Mansion more often to show it to the Princess. Don't let others accuse you of not treating the Princess wholeheartedly." Before Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan left, Wu Chen lowered his voice and told Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan.

"Yes! We all know."

........

The Princess's residence was built by the order of the previous emperor. It covers a large area and has a rigorous layout. The red walls and golden tiles, carved beams and painted buildings fully demonstrate the royal style. The corridors in the residence are winding, shaded by green trees, colorful flowers, rockery pools, pavilions, and each one reveals the taste and elegance of the owner.

The eldest princess, as the emperor's eldest sister, has a high status and is deeply loved by the empress dowager.

It is said that the eldest princess was born with natural beauty, dignified and elegant, and her every move revealed a noble temperament. She was not only outstanding in appearance, but also smart and talented, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was known as the most talented woman in the capital.

Unfortunately, not many years after she married the top scholar in the imperial examination, she became insane after her husband died. It was truly a pity.

"We are here to see the eldest princess on the orders of His Majesty." After knocking on the door of the eldest princess's residence, Xu Qing stated his identity and purpose.

"Please come in quickly, both imperial doctors. My young master has already instructed you two to follow me." The servant who opened the door hurriedly led Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan into the mansion.

"Our eldest princess was a little noisy today, and our young master is trying to comfort her. Otherwise, he would have come in person to greet Imperial Physician Xu and Imperial Physician Bai." The servant explained as he led Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan deeper into the eldest princess's mansion.

"It's okay. The two of us are here to see the eldest princess." Xu Qing smiled slightly, appearing very amiable.

The two of them walked through the courtyard and along the winding corridor. The beautiful scenery and colorful flowers around showed the luxury and nobility of the Princess's residence. However, under this splendor, there seemed to be an unspeakable heaviness hidden, because the owner had gone mad.

When the servant led them to a quiet courtyard, Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan sensed a strange atmosphere.

"This is the eldest princess's residence." The servant said in a low voice, with a trace of helplessness and sadness on his face.

Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan looked at each other and understood in their hearts that the once extremely noble princess had now become a crazy patient who needed care.

Entering the hall, the interior was very elegant, but at this moment it seemed a little deserted and dreary. On a large bed in the bedroom on the right, a woman in her forties was quietly sleeping, her face pale, and there were several people waiting beside her.

"Master, the imperial physician is here." The servant called softly.

"Greetings to Imperial Physician Xu and Imperial Physician Bai." The eldest princess's son, Zhang Chengwen, stepped forward and bowed to Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan.

Imperial Physician Xu and Imperial Physician Bai both bowed at the same time to show their respect for the eldest princess's son.

Zhang Chengwen had not passed the imperial examinations, nor had he been granted an official position. He had been taking good care of the eldest princess in the mansion ever since he was old enough to understand.

Although he is only in his early twenties, he already looks calm and reserved, and his every move reveals a calm and unhurried temperament.

He is a handsome man, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, thin lips, and a strong and handsome face.

"Please trouble the two imperial doctors to take a good look at my mother." Zhang Chengwen's voice was steady and powerful. He nodded slightly, his eyes were sharp, as if he could see into people's hearts.

His face was resolute, and his brows revealed an aura of majesty without even being angry. He had inherited the dignity and majesty of the eldest princess.

He heard the news from the palace that his grandmother had an acute illness. Not only was the imperial physician unable to cure her, but he also couldn't find the cause of the disease and was unable to treat her. It was Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan who took action to cure his grandmother's acute illness.

Now that he was sent by the emperor to treat his mother, hope surged in Zhang Chengwen's heart.

He hopes that Imperial Physicians Xu and Bai can cure his mother's madness.

"Let's take a look first." Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan walked to the bedside. Xu Qingyi stepped forward to feel the eldest princess' pulse and found that her pulse was very disordered and her breath was weak.

"The pulse is scattered and disordered. The princess has been worrying too much for a long time, which has caused damage to her heart and mental disorder." Xu Qingyi said in a low voice.

"How should it be treated?" Bai Yan asked.

"If someone else could ask about the symptoms and prescribe the right medicine, we can slowly regulate the heart and pulse now." Xu Qingyi said, "However, the eldest princess's condition is already very serious. She needs someone to take care of her at all times. There can be no negligence."

"I understand. I will explain it clearly to the people in the mansion." Zhang Chengwen nodded.

"Master Zhang, is the eldest princess crazy when she is awake? Can't she recognize people? Or is there something else special?" Xu Qingyi asked.

"It's just like a little child who needs to be coaxed and cannot be stimulated. Once stimulated, he will make a big fuss and go crazy. The three emergencies can be solved by himself." Zhang Chengwen thought for a while and said.

"Then what things are you familiar with? Can you regain consciousness?" Xu Qingyi continued to ask.

Zhang Chengwen shook his head, looking embarrassed, "My mother's lucidity is extremely short and unpredictable.

She seemed to have a vague memory of the past and little understanding of the present.

I have tried various methods to wake her up, but to no avail.

I get particularly excited when I mention my husband or see the jade pendant my father gave to my mother. "

"Let me first take a look at the prescriptions and treatment ideas that other imperial doctors have written for the princess.

Bai Yan, check the princess's head and her eyes. "Xu Qingyi also knew Bai Yan's ability, so she arranged for Bai Yan to do it.

She took the prescriptions handed over by Zhang Chengwen, a thick stack of prescriptions written by the imperial physician who had previously treated the eldest princess.

The reason why Xu Qingyi wanted to see the prescriptions written by the former imperial physicians for the eldest princess was, on the one hand, to understand the diagnosis and treatment ideas of these imperial physicians, and on the other hand, to find out what they might have overlooked, so as to find a breakthrough in treatment.

She flipped through the pages, frowning. Most of these prescriptions revolved around the theme of "calming the mind and nourishing the qi, nourishing the heart and protecting the pulse", but the princess's condition did not improve. She couldn't help but start to doubt whether the diagnosis of these imperial doctors was accurate and whether the treatment methods were appropriate.

Xu Qingyi compared the prescriptions one by one, trying to find the differences and similarities among them.
