After entering the east room, Liu Xukun saw Mr. Han sitting on the couch and was a little confused for a moment.
Although he had no actual contact with Mr. Han, at the end of last year, Mrs. Tong discovered that Mr. Han was happy and helped him cure his illness. As a doctor, Liu Xukun was naturally concerned.
And during the Chinese New Year and Dragon Boat Festival, I also saw him at banquets at Prince Rui's Mansion.
So what he saw at this time, Mr. Han, really shocked him.
Mr. Han has lost a lot of weight compared to the last time he saw him. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is so thin that he loses his appearance. He suddenly looks several years older.
When a person suddenly becomes like this, apart from some sudden change in the family, it is basically like a serious illness.
For a big family like the Han family, it is difficult to hide anything that happens. Han Changran is also doing fine, so this should be eliminated directly.
Is it true that Qian Poxin thinks too much? Is Mr. Han really seriously ill?
Liu Xukun thought about a lot of things in his mind, but he still said hello to Mr. Han in a formal manner, and then said: "Old man, the Crown Prince and Governor Qian are very concerned about your health. I heard that you are seriously ill. Please send me over to see you."
His words were intentionally ambiguous, making people think that Li Zian sent him here at first glance.
But in fact, the first half of the sentence is separate from the second half of the sentence.
It was certainly true that both the Crown Prince and Governor Qian were concerned about Mr. Han's health. However, in the sentence that followed, he cleverly removed the subject and did not clearly indicate who sent him here.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Han asked in a very shameless manner: "Did Master Shizi send you here? He brought Lady Tong to see me before. She is almost recovered now, so why did he send you here again?"
If Qian Poxin comes in, Mr. Han will naturally have to pay attention to it, but facing Liu Xukun, he doesn't need to care at all.
Everyone in Prince Rui's palace had to pay attention to Liu Xukun. First of all, because he was the imperial doctor responsible for the health of Princess Fengrong, and his status naturally increased with the tide.
Secondly, because he was sent by the emperor's decree, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, so he must be respected.
But outside Prince Rui's palace, he was just a small imperial doctor with no power and no control over Mr. Han.
Liu Xukun's expression froze at these words and his brows wrinkled.
No one has spoken to him like this for a long time since he was sent to Prince Rui's Mansion by the Emperor.
But the Han family was not someone he could afford to offend, so even though he felt very uncomfortable, he could only grit his teeth and swallow.
Liu Xukun forced an awkward smile and said: "Ms. Tong is indeed very skilled in medicine, but I usually treat the dowager empress, so I may have more experience..."
This time, Mr. Han didn't even let him finish his words before interrupting: "Thank you very much, Prince, but I'm almost recovered now, so I won't bother Dr. Liu."
Shen Tianshu knew Liu Xukun very well in his previous life, so even though he hadn't seen him for several years, he could still tell at a glance that he was really angry at this time.
So she smoothed things over and said, "Yi Liu, Mr. Han's illness this time is diarrhea. At first, the family thought it was caused by unclean food, and they didn't take it seriously at first.
“Later, I found that there was no improvement and I began to lose weight and become haggard, so I hurriedly invited a doctor to check my pulse and prescribe medicine.
"After diagnosing the pulse, the doctor said it was due to a lack of energy, so he prescribed warming and tonic medicine, but after taking it for a while, it didn't get better. Instead, he became weaker and weaker.
"Young Master Han was worried about the old man's health, so he secretly sent someone to rush to the capital to deliver a message to Master Han.
"Later, when the prince learned that Mr. Han was seriously ill, he hurriedly brought me over to visit him. He changed the prescription and took it for a while. Now he is no longer in serious trouble.
"However, long-term diarrhea is extremely harmful to the body. Mr. Han is still at such an age. If he wants to recover to the condition before he fell ill, he still needs to take care of himself slowly."
Liu Xukun heard that what she said was reasonable, but in fact it was something he could not verify. He rolled his eyes and said: "Oh, long-term diarrhea is a relatively common problem.
"Isn't it possible that a doctor who can be invited by the Han family can't even prescribe such a simple prescription? That shouldn't be the case!
"Could it be that we are stuck on 'it is better to nourish the spleen than tonify the kidney' or 'it is better to nourish the kidney than tonify the spleen'?"
As Liu Xukun spoke, he raised one corner of his lips and showed a condescending smile, obviously wanting to take the exam for Shen Tianshu.
The two views he mentioned can also be said to be two schools of thought.
People who believe that tonifying the spleen is not as good as tonifying the kidney think that if the kidney qi is weak, the true energy will be weak and it will be unable to digest food. It is like placing rice grains in a cauldron but without firepower. How can the rice grains be cooked?
If you want to solve the problem from the root, you need to nourish the kidney. If the kidney qi is strong, the spleen earth will be steamed on the fire meridian of Dantian. Naturally, the spleen earth will be mild and the middle burner will be autonomous.
But another school of thought believes that the spleen is the foundation of acquired diseases and the source of biochemistry of body fluids, blood, and essence. The kidneys must be supported by the spleen in order to be full. Therefore, if the kidneys are deficient, the spleen must be replenished.
The two factions have their own supporters in the industry, and they often clash over this issue. Debates are held from time to time, and no one can convince the other.
However, the Jiang family does not take sides on this issue. Instead, they each draw on their own strengths and are inclusive.
As Jiang Sui's direct disciple, Liu Xukun naturally understood and studied both parties.
But when he talked about this now, he was actually digging a hole for Shen Tianshu.
No matter which one Shen Tianshu chooses, he can calmly argue with it.
But how could Shen Tianshu be fooled by him? He smiled slightly and said: "Uncle, he is trying to test me!"
"Then I will try my best to explain it and ask my uncle for more guidance.
“The kidneys are the foundation of innateness, and the spleen is the foundation of acquired health.
“The spleen governs transportation and transformation, and must rely on the Yang Qi in the kidneys to warm it. The kidneys store the essence and Qi, and rely on the spleen to transform the essence for nourishment.
"If the kidney yang is insufficient and cannot be warmed, or the spleen yang has been deficient for a long time and damages the kidney yang, it can lead to cold pain in the abdomen, and the symptoms of spleen and kidney yang deficiency such as lower Li Qinggu.
"The spleen and kidneys are both fundamental and should not be neglected. If you are paranoid about one end of the spectrum and insist on just talking about it, it is easy for medication to be ineffective and delay the condition."
Liu Xukun didn't expect that Shen Tianshu's basic skills were so solid, so he immediately said with a smile: "Ms. Tong's words are serious, how could I teach you? It's because I didn't speak clearly, and you misunderstood.
"Actually, I want to ask, if Mr. Han has long-term diarrhea, he only needs to warm the spleen and kidneys. The previous medication did not work. Could it be that he encountered a paranoid doctor?"
He felt that what he said was quite beautiful. Not only did he bring back what he said before, but he also secretly showed his ability.
Unexpectedly, Shen Tianshu shook his head and said: "The doctor at that time actually had the same idea as Dr. Liu, and prescribed a prescription to warm the spleen and kidneys. Although it cannot be said to be very clever, it was quite satisfactory and there was nothing wrong with it.
"It's a pity that after taking the medicine for more than a month, Mr. Han's illness has not improved."
Liu Xukun couldn't believe his ears, and the slightly proud expression before instantly froze on his face.
