Chapter 593 The old princess is not in good health.
Sitting in the carriage, Li Yan thought of Sister Xin who was crying so hard that her tears and snot were running. She couldn't help but hug Chu Chu again and said with a sob, "Ever since I saw you crying so hard in Taohua Village, I have been sick. I can't stand seeing little girls cry. Seeing her like that reminds me of the suffering you went through when you were a child, and I feel very sad."
Chuchu leaned gently in her mother's arms, feeling the love from her mother and feeling extremely happy.
She was even more grateful to her grandfather who saved her. If it weren't for the Yan family and her grandparents, she probably wouldn't even know how she died in Taohua Village.
She still vaguely remembers how she felt so hungry that her stomach felt like it was being cut by a knife, and how she took a difficult step while carrying a huge pile of firewood on her back.
……
In the past, I would come to Prince Chun’s mansion to pay New Year’s greetings during the Spring Festival, and I would not stay for long. To be honest, I had never come in as a formal guest.
When they entered the house today, they were first taken by Princess Chun to pay their respects to the old princess. The old princess liked quietness as she was old, so she lived in a courtyard farther in.
After all, I am old and have been recuperating at home, but my health is not as good as before and I haven't been out for two or three years.
Seeing the old princess with gray hair and obviously a little haggard, Chuchu couldn't help but secretly add something to the tea she was drinking while her mother was talking to her, and also checked her pulse.
The old princess is old and a little weak in spirit. She has gained a lot of weight compared to a few years ago. Her muscles have begun to sag and there are some yellow fat particles on her eyelids. She looks even older than her actual age.
"Is your ancestor particularly sleepy now? He tends to feel dizzy when he wakes up in the morning and his bowel movements are not smooth."
It had been just a short while since the old princess woke up from her nap, but Chuchu's words suddenly brightened the eyes of the drowsy old princess. Chuchu knew at a glance that she was right.
The two maids serving nearby also nodded. Princess Chun, who was of a lukewarm nature and not particularly friendly to others, suddenly grabbed Chuchu's hand.
"I knew Chuchu was capable. The old ancestor is blessed to have you here. I heard from Jue'er that you are a very skilled doctor. Doctor Tang came to see me several times, but he didn't say anything accurate. He just said that I had a disease of affluence, and told me to eat less fatty meat and move more. He also prescribed some medicine for me, but it didn't work very well. I noticed that the old ancestor has been getting more and more sleepy recently. Is there something wrong?"
Li Yan also noticed that the old princess looked unhappy, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and ordered: "Princess, please ask someone to bring a small stool and let Chuchu sit opposite, so that the old ancestor can take a good look at it."
In the past, Chuchu had all had her pulse checked by the elders from several aristocratic families, but Prince Chun's mansion was the one that was neglected because of the old emperor, so they didn't dare to visit the princess too often. They didn't visit her either, and they didn't expect that the old princess had aged so quickly after not seeing her for a few years.
So this time, Li Yan also wanted Chuchu to take the old princess' pulse carefully. Looking at this old ancestor who had loved himself and Princess Anran since childhood, Li Yan could see that there was something wrong with her body and couldn't help but tears up.
Chu Chu knew the cause of the disease just by looking at the old man's face and his body which had become bloated after a few years of hard work, and then she lifted her eyelids to take a look.
This is really a big trouble!
However, she did not want to make everyone present too anxious, so she smiled calmly and said to the ancestor: "I am afraid that the ancestor is greedy and does not eat according to the Tang imperial physician's instructions? In addition to liking to eat meat, is it that he occasionally greedily eats candy?"
The old princess burst into laughter when she heard this. She was missing several teeth and her speech was a little lisp, but she did not deny that it was delicious.
The princess also helped to explain: "The old ancestor likes that. He must eat well-cooked pork belly and pig's feet every day, otherwise he will say that the food is not delicious. He also has to eat two pieces of sugar a day, otherwise he will always say that the tea is too bland."
"You are just being disobedient, our ancestors. They say diseases come from the mouth. If you don't pay attention, it will really be bad!" Chuchu patted her hands and saw the bulging blood vessels and age spots on her hands, which were a sign of thick blood and high blood viscosity.
Chu Chu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. The old concubine's illness actually looked quite serious. High oil, high sugar and high salt were the most taboos for an old person of this age. It could be fatal if it broke out.
Fortunately, the old princess is not an impatient person and seldom goes out. Otherwise, if she loses her temper or falls, it would cause unnecessary trouble.
She did have medicine in the space, but medicine could not cure all diseases. In her current condition, it would not work whether she just paid attention to diet and exercise, or relied solely on medicine to control the condition.
The patient must cooperate and this two-pronged approach must be used.
The old princess is not yet seventy, nor is she old and frail. It would be best if she could do some exercise and eat less oily, sugary and salty foods. If she takes good care of herself and uses some spiritual spring water, she can live at least ten more years if she can lose twenty or thirty pounds.
Chuchu was also worried about Brother Jue. Brother Jue said that his three uncles from his maternal family were very good to him, but the one who loved him and Princess Anran the most was the old princess, so Chuchu wanted to help him keep the old ancestor for the past ten years.
At this time, he also had some complaints about Brother Jue. The ancestor was like this, so how could he let his uncle and aunt follow her wishes? They should have intervened with medication and food long ago.
If she could have known the situation earlier, it wouldn't be impossible for her to come back from Xiangzhou County specially.
Her own grandmother wants to see her grandchildren get married and have children, so the old princess must also hope to see Brother Jue get married and have children, right?
If the old princess passed away too early, Brother Jue would lose a close relative, someone who loved him, and he would definitely be very sad.
Princess Chun also heard that the ancestor refused to listen to Doctor Tang, refused to take medicine, and rarely moved around. Chuchu also began to have a headache.
If you are so afraid of doctors and so willful, even a god can't do anything about it.
Chuchu had no choice but to try her best for brother Jue. She slowly coaxed the old ancestor and said, "Old ancestor, you should walk around more often. You see, it's very lively outside during the New Year and early spring, and the scenery is not bad. Going out for a walk and watching your grandchildren playing and fighting will make you feel better.
The next step is to eat more warm and nourishing vegetarian foods that are easy to digest. Our ancestors are not children anymore, so they must not eat sugar secretly anymore."
The old princess smiled at her, and seeing Chuchu smiling brightly, her cloudy eyes became a little brighter, and she even touched her face.
I thought she would just agree to it no matter what, but I didn't expect the old ancestor to just say something self-deprecating: "I'm old and useless. I can't refuse to accept my age."
She just drank some of the tea that Chuchu brought her and seemed to feel more energetic, otherwise she would have asked the nanny to help her go to bed.
Today I have been sitting for a long time, otherwise I would fall asleep while sitting.
Chuchu turned to Princess Chun, wanting her to persuade her again.
But the princess spread her hands and shook her head, indicating that there was nothing she could do. Jue'er asked Doctor Tang to come over many times, and Doctor Tang also said that it was not that there was no way to cure the disease, but that the old princess was too stubborn and would not listen to any advice at all, let alone drink the bitter medicine that she had to take several cups of every day. She had begun to give up on herself.
