Chapter 109 Detailed Interview
"Sir Li, please sit down." Chen Fang said softly, guiding him to sit on a wooden chair, then took a silver needle and a few prescriptions from the table, ready to start the consultation.
"Doctor Chen, I have been feeling weak and dizzy these past few days. Can you give me a detailed diagnosis?" Li Ming spoke with a hint of uneasiness in his tone.
"Of course." Chen Fang smiled slightly, with concern in her eyes. "Please stretch out your wrist first, and I will take your pulse."
Li Ming followed his instructions and stretched out his wrist, thinking secretly in his heart. Chen Fang's fingers gently rested on his pulse, feeling his pulse meticulously. After a moment, she gently withdrew her hand and looked at Li Ming intently.
"Sir Li, have you been suffering from insomnia recently?" Chen Fang asked in a gentle but firm tone.
"That's true." Li Ming nodded, feeling a little ashamed. "Because of my busy work, I often can't sleep at night."
"That explains why your pulse is weak," Chen Fang said seriously. "Insomnia can lead to physical weakness, which in turn affects other aspects of health. Do you also have a loss of appetite or chest tightness?"
Li Ming thought for a moment and slowly replied: "I do feel a heaviness in my chest sometimes, and my appetite is not as good as before."
"I understand." Chen Fang nodded, with a hint of determination in her eyes, "Next, I need to conduct further examinations for you."
Li Ming's heart tightened. Although he knew this was a necessary process, he was still a little nervous in the face of such a detailed inspection. "Excuse me, what do you need me to do?"
"Please relax a little and take a deep breath. I will listen to your heartbeat." Chen Fang said softly, then took out the stethoscope and gently placed it on Li Ming's chest.
Li Ming closed his eyes, feeling her tenderness and concentration. Chen Fang's fingers moved gently, listening carefully to his heartbeat, and her expression became more serious. After a moment, she took back the stethoscope, and her tone revealed a hint of concern: "Master Li, your heartbeat is a little rapid, which is related to your insomnia and anxiety."
"I understand." Li Ming sighed and thought to himself that perhaps the pressure he was under in the court did affect his physical health.
"Next, I need to prescribe some medicine for you to help you regulate your body." Chen Fang said, and then wrote down the names of several herbs on a piece of paper, "These herbs can help you calm your nerves and strengthen your spleen."
"Thank you, Doctor Chen." Li Ming said gratefully, and his admiration for her medical skills grew. "I will follow your advice carefully."
"In addition, Lord Li, you should also pay attention to rest in your daily life and try to avoid overwork." Chen Fang gently reminded, "I will prepare some soothing tea for you to help you relax."
"I will keep your teachings in mind." Li Ming nodded, feeling warm in his heart for Chen Fang's concern. He suddenly realized that the pressure he had endured in the court seemed to be relieved at this moment.
"Sir Li, are you feeling unwell anywhere else?" Chen Fang continued to ask, with concern in her eyes.
"Actually, I often feel cold hands and feet." Li Ming hesitated for a moment, but finally expressed his discomfort.
"This may be related to your insufficient Qi and blood." Chen Fang analyzed carefully, "I will prepare some Qi-replenishing and blood-nourishing prescriptions for you to help you improve this condition."
"Thank you, Dr. Chen." Li Ming was grateful and felt that under her care, he seemed to have found the long-lost peace.
"Master Li, you must believe that physical health is the most important thing." Chen Fang said firmly, with a hint of encouragement in her eyes, "Only when you are healthy can you better serve the people."
Li Ming was deeply touched by her words and made a secret resolution in his heart: "I will take good care of myself so that I can better perform my duties."
"Then I'll go prepare the herbs for you right away." Chen Fang smiled slightly, turned and walked towards the medicine cabinet and started to get busy.
Li Ming sat quietly in the chair, looking at her busy figure, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. At this moment, he felt not only physical care, but also spiritual comfort. Perhaps, outside of this busy officialdom, he could also find a trace of peace and tranquility.
"Doctor Chen, you are truly a rare and good doctor." Li Ming said sincerely, his eyes full of respect.
"Master Li, thank you for your praise." Chen Fang turned around with a faint blush on her face. "I just do my best to help every patient."
"Li Qing, you are really a genius!" A middle-aged man in official uniform walked in with a loud and majestic voice. He was the town official named Zhang Ming.
Li Qing raised his head, smiled slightly, put down the herbs in his hand, and said respectfully: "Master Zhang, you came at the right time. I just prepared some new medicine and would like to invite you to taste it."
Zhang Ming walked closer to the medicine cabinet and carefully examined the herbs. A hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. "You are really hardworking, kid. I heard that a strange disease has been spreading in the town recently. Many people are seeking medical advice. Do you have any solution?"
Li Qing nodded, his expression becoming serious: "Yes, Master Zhang. The disease started as a mild cough, but later developed into a high fever, and some people even vomited. I have prescribed medicine based on the symptoms, and it is working well."
"Oh? Let me see it quickly." Zhang Ming came forward impatiently, his eyes fixed on the prescription in Li Qing's hand.
Li Qing handed him the prescription and said seriously, "This is a prescription based on honeysuckle, forsythia, and licorice. It can clear away heat, detoxify, and relieve cough. I also added some precious herbs to enhance the efficacy."
Zhang Ming took the prescription, read it carefully, and his brows gradually relaxed: "As expected, Li Qing, your medical skills are indeed superb. If you can cure this disease, it will surely bring peace to the people."
Li Qing smiled slightly and said modestly: "This is just what I can do. The real credit goes to those patients who are willing to cooperate with the treatment."
"You are always modest, kid." Zhang Ming patted Li Qing on the shoulder, his eyes showing satisfaction. "I will report your prescription. If it can cure more people, I will definitely win a better reputation for you."
"Thank you, Master Zhang." Li Qing was grateful, and then he remembered something and asked, "But, Master Zhang, do you know the source of this disease?"
Zhang Ming frowned slightly and pondered for a moment: "I heard that it came from other places, but the specific situation is still unclear. We are investigating and must find out the source."
"I hope we can find a solution as soon as possible." Li Qing sighed, feeling vaguely uneasy.
At this time, there was a commotion outside the medicine shop, and several villagers rushed in in a panic. The old woman in the lead looked pale and her voice trembled: "Li Qing, please save my grandson, he has a high fever and is unconscious!"
Li Qing immediately stood up, his face solemn: "Please take me to see it!"
The old woman nodded hurriedly, took Li Qing's hand, and ran out. Zhang Ming followed closely behind, secretly worried.
Arriving at the old woman's house, Li Qing quickly checked the child's condition and found that his face was red, his forehead was hot, and his breathing was rapid. Li Qing's heart tightened and he immediately began to feel the child's pulse. After a while, his face gradually became heavy.
"The child's condition is quite serious and he must be treated immediately!" Li Qing turned to the old woman and said, "Please prepare some warm water. I need to boil the medicine."
The old woman responded quickly and busied herself in the kitchen in a panic. Zhang Ming watched from the side and prayed silently in his heart.
Li Qing quickly mixed the herbs, silently reciting the prescription in his mind, with skillful and quick movements. After a while, the soup was ready, and he poured it into the bowl, shaking it gently to ensure that the herbs were fully dissolved.
"Hurry, give him the medicine!" Li Qing handed the bowl of medicine to the old woman with a firm look in his eyes.
The old woman took the medicine bowl with shaking hands and gently fed it to the child. The child's lips moved slightly, as if he felt a hint of warmth.
"Good child, get well soon." The old woman's eyes were filled with tears, her heart full of anxiety and expectation.
Zhang Ming watched quietly from the side, and he admired Li Qing's medical skills more and more. He knew that the young pharmacist in front of him was not only an expert in mixing medicine, but also a kind-hearted person with good intentions.
As time went by, the child's temperature seemed to drop, and Li Qing felt relieved. He knew that the medicine would take time to take effect, but as long as he persisted, the child would get better.
