“Self-taught? Can you teach yourself this medical technique?” The Empress Dowager’s heart began to beat like a drum again. Could it be that she was hit by a blind cat and got rid of the mouse?
Bai Zhi nodded her head and said: “That’s right. When this young lady was still young, I found a medical book in the mountains. The medical book was very exquisite and very interesting. When this young lady was young, I was ignorant and didn’t recognize many characters. When I read it, I didn’t realize what it was. After a long time, I wrote down all the contents in my heart. When I got a little older, I learned that it was a medical book, which not only included lists of pulse and medicines but also about acupuncture.”
“To learn this acupuncture technique, this young lady used the scarecrow and practiced acupuncture technique with embroidery needles. It was not until later that I collected herbs in the mountains and sold them for money, and then I could finally buy silver needles and dummy.”
The Empress Dowager didn’t close her mouth for a long time, but Imperial Doctor Xu was deeply touched by her words. He also suffered a lot to learn medical skills when he was a child. But compared with the girl in front of him, can it be called suffering?
It can be said that she was a genius in medicine. But it turns out that she was not a genius, her achievements today, at a young age, was all due to her diligence and hard training.
A little girl studied medicine by herself. Without the proper conditions, she creates the conditions for herself. In the end, she has such an achievement at a young age. One can see how much effort she has put into all of this.
Bai Zhi smiled and said: “The empress dowager doesn’t have to be so surprised. Many people in the world work hard to study like me. I am just one of them.”
Imperial Doctor Xu admired Bai Zhi, but the Empress Dowager didn’t think so.
How unusual is it for a little girl to live like what Bai Zhi said? Looking at her eyes, obviously, it won’t work for ordinary women.
The Empress Dowager was still thinking about what words to use to compliment Bai Zhi. However, Imperial Doctor Liang had already written the prescription and came over, and simply passed by without mentioning it.
“You two also take a look at Imperial Doctor Liang’s prescription, as Bai Zhi said, it’s good to choose the best!” The Empress Dowager said.
Imperial Doctor Xu stepped forward and took the prescription from Imperial Doctor Liang’s hand. After taking a look, he immediately understood that they were all insignificant things, which were similar to the prescriptions that he usually prescribed at ordinary times. It’s just, it was lacking a few herbs for promoting blood circulation. He was clever enough to know he needed less medicine like this in this situation.
Imperial Doctor Xu said nothing and handed the prescription to Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi took a look and burst into laugher.
Seeing her like this, the Empress Dowager busily asked: “Why are you laughing?”
Bai Zhi shook the prescription in her hand and asked with a smile “This young lady doesn’t understand. What kind of prescription is this? What kind of disease can it cure? In other words, which internal organs can this prescription warm?”
The Empress Dowager frowned and looked at Imperial Doctor Liang: “Explain it!”
Imperial Doctor Liang hated Bai Zhi’s poisonous mouth at this time. This dead girl clearly wanted to demolish his prestige. As long as the prescription was not poisonous and harmless, she shouldn’t arbitrarily discuss the use of it to the other party. She was obviously doing this intentionally.
But in front of the Empress Dowager, what can he say?
Imperial Doctor Liang said: “Answering back the empress dowager, this doctor said before that he will prescribe you a warming tonic concoction. Although this prescription cannot cure the disease, it is quite beneficial for the body and has the effect of nourishing the blood and calming the spirit.”
Bai Zhi immediately answered, “Is it? Adding Qianfuzi in the prescription can nourish the blood? And mixing it with Yuanqian can calm the spirit? Imperial Doctor Liang, don’t you really understand what I mean, or pretending that you don’t know?”
The Empress Dowager doesn’t understand medicine, but when she heard Bai Zhi’s words, her eyelids twitched. Bai Zhi said that what, Imperial Doctor Liang prescribed to her was not beneficial to her at all.
