Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 92 Psychology
Gao Zhenren's face turned ugly in an instant.

Although he is very open-minded in front of Miss Su and has never put on any airs of superiority, he is not really a liar in the streets and alleys. Even if he is an imperial doctor in the palace, he dare not say that his medical skills must be better than him, but this time he suffered from an old woman in Geyue Nunnery. Even if others don't blame him, he still feels uncomfortable.

"The patient always had nightmares, couldn't sleep, and talked to himself, as if he could see something unclean, sometimes excited, sometimes crying bitterly. I concluded that she was suffering from hysteria, and she also practiced it by opening an altar. , and secretly prescribed prescriptions and injected needles. She thought that even if she couldn't be cured, she could be relieved at least. Unexpectedly, not only did she not get relieved, but she also aggravated her condition. Now, others can't even get close to the patient. The woman has not had water or rice for two days, if she delays any longer, something serious may happen."

Gao Zhenren scratched his head, disregarding his own face, "It was my brother Zhang who asked me to help and recommended me to go there. Although the eldest princess looked at my brother's face and didn't pursue it, but the face of the teacher is considered a loss. It’s all gone, I’m afraid there will be disasters in the future, I’m half an abandoned disciple, how can I shame Senior Brother?”

Su Tong smiled bitterly: "So you came to me?"

Gao Zhenren was stunned, and also felt embarrassed. He, his senior brother, and many medical experts couldn't help the patient, but now it was too much to ask a young lady who was not even 20 years old to help.

"I was thinking, even if you are young, even if you don't succeed, others will only think that your cultivation base is not enough, so they probably won't embarrass you. Moreover, I heard that you have a good relationship with the eldest princess Zhao Wanrong. I can't say that the eldest princess I will also help you to hide one or two things, if it succeeds, I owe you a favor."

Su Tong rolled his eyes. This guy knows that he has friendship with Zhao Wanrong, so it's not surprising. Before he visits someone to see a doctor, he has always been used to inquiring about everything he can find out. , have not made mistakes for so many years, and carefulness is a necessary condition.

Gao Zhenren didn't care about Su Tong's thoughts, and said everything he had investigated first.

"You know, I am good at Zhu Youshu, and I always need to know the details of the patient before treating a disease. However, no matter how hard I inquire about this patient, I can't find out her details. I have also observed that she is about [-] years old. In her forties, she looks a little old, and her hands and feet are not delicate, obviously she is not the one whose fingers are not exposed to spring water, and her voice and smile, she doesn't look like a lady from a rich family, but a jade from a small family can be considered."

"However, when she got sick, even the empress dowager and the imperial concubine were alarmed, and even the eldest princess seldom put on airs in front of her, so I thought that her identity might be unusual. Through my connections, I even inquired However, this person was the concubine of the former emperor released from the cold palace by Empress Dowager Liu mercifully in the year when the emperor ascended the throne. The benevolent government released a group of maids, including most of the concubines in the cold palace, and put them in the temple. Although it is still not good, it is not as difficult as in the cold palace."

"The patient was different from other concubines, but she was specially placed in the Geyue Nunnery. In the entire Geyue Nunnery, she was the only one who came out of the palace and made a lot of offerings, but she was under house arrest. Except for the eldest princess who visits her occasionally, she can't see any outsiders."

Su Tong frowned, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind, he pondered for a while, then raised his head and asked, "What's the patient's name?"

Gao Zhenren was stunned, obviously did not expect Su Tong to care about a patient's name, shook his head and said: "I don't know, I just overheard a maid who served her daily life called her Li, it seems to be Li Niangniang..."

Su Tong exhaled and hesitated for a long time, even when Gao Zhenren thought she would refuse, he finally nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I will go with you."

Immediately, Gao Zhenren breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Su Tong didn't have much confidence, because although Gao Zhenren didn't understand the modern psychology, he still gained true knowledge through practice.
However, Ms. Su has studied psychology for many years, especially medical psychology. She has worked hard. When she graduated, her tutor, a famous psychologist, once said a very simple sentence ——I have never given up on any patient in my life, and I hope you will do the same.

Even if you are not sure, you can't just refuse to give the other party a chance just because the patient's status is too high and you are afraid of trouble. In that case, what she has learned for many years is of little value!
The doctor's parents' heart, this sentence is not a lie, if she can't follow through with this, she will not be Su Tong.

Of course, to go to the Moon Temple to treat people, you have to think long-term and come up with a perfect plan, which is not easy to publicize, let alone turn yourself into a witch like Gao Zhenren. It will make people feel uncomfortable.

It would be fine if she was alone, but she is the daughter of the Su family, so she always has to think about the reputation of the Su family.

Fortunately, whether she or Gao Zhenren, they are all "magic sticks", and all kinds of crooked ideas will come to mind, so don't worry too much about these things.

The patient's condition was critical, and he couldn't wait for too long. Su Tong packed up his things, took his own medicine box, filled a few medicines that he felt could be used, and deliberately wrapped the medicine box with a layer of excellent silk cloth, It looked very luxurious, and then let Gao Zhenren carry it out together.

My little lady wanted to follow a Taoist priest out of the house, and the servants in the family were naturally startled, and they were also very unhappy, especially the old people, who all changed their expressions and stopped her.

Gao Zhenren, who was treated by a superior person just now, suddenly became the target of everyone's vigilance. The people of the Su family almost regarded him as a kidnapper who trafficked people, and they seemed to have the intention of reporting to the officials.

"If the lady wants to go out, at least she should inform the gentleman, and she can't run around with those dubious people."

Su Tong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and shook his head: "Don't worry, I'm just doing Gao Zhenren a favor, I'll go in our carriage, use our coachman, and bring a maid, nothing will happen."

Gao Zhenren also hurriedly said: "Someone encountered a difficult matter recently, and needed the help of a young lady with profound blessings and a suitable horoscope. After overnight calculations, among the young ladies with a suitable horoscope in Kaifeng, only Miss Su was the most blessed. Hou, I just asked the little lady to go to the Moon Temple, it’s not too far from here, don’t worry, everyone.”
