Chapter 815: Soufeng Jiedu Decoction
Thinking about it, Bai Zhi decided not to. It’s better to use ancient prescription. Although the effect was slow, the disease can be cured.
Imperial Doctor Xu’s hand that was holding the prescription trembled: “Just this prescription can cure mold sores?” The ingredients in the prescription were all common herbs, so he was very surprised. Well, even the rare and precious herbs were useless. Can such a prescription really cure mold sores?
Bai Zhi nodded her head: “Yes, just use this, it won’t take effect immediately. It will take half a month to get better, so don’t be anxious.”
“Fortunately, his sore has just started, and it won’t rupture and cause pus or bleeds. Otherwise, he will have to use topical medicine.”
Imperial Doctor Xu thought of Young Master Li he had seen today, so he asked, “If the sores ruptured and bleed. What kind of medicine should I use for external medicine?”
“Just use the general wound cleaning method to remove it. But it’s necessary to change the dressing frequently. It’s very important to keep the skin dry and clean.”
Imperial Doctor Xu took note of it and asked: “If the disease is more serious, such as when the pimples ruptured and there are pus and blood. Is the prescription for oral intake the same? Or do I need to add or lessen something?”
“If there is no pain in the muscles and bones and no swelling everywhere in the body, there is no need to change the prescription.” Bai Zhi said.
Imperial Doctor Xu asked another question: “If you have those symptoms. What should I change in the prescription?”
Bai Zhi replied: “When the disease accumulated in the bone marrow, it means it spread inside and out of the body, and not only in the skin. The main symptoms will be a pain in the muscles and bone, and swelling all over the body. Before the skin ulcerate, the color of the skin is dark red. After ulceration, there will be yellow pus will rancid smell, thirsty, depression, red tongue. If the patient is in such a condition, you should use the Soufeng Jiedu Decoction instead, which is 3 grams of Smilax glabra, coix lachryma, and Mutong. 2 grams of ginseng and licorice.”
Imperial Doctor Xu quickly took down notes, then asked Bai Zhi for clarification after writing it.
Bai Zhi smiled and said: “If every doctor can be as open-minded and studious as Imperial Doctor Xu, and with a benevolent heart, then this world will definitely become a better place.”
Imperial Doctor Xu felt ashamed. He felt like he was not as noble as Bai Zhi said.
Bai Zhi said to Imperial Doctor Xu: “I have taught you all the treatment methods. From now on, Er Gongzi is in your care. If you have any doubts, just look for me.”
Imperial Doctor Xu readily agreed. This opportunity was very precious to him. He will witness that the first person who will survive in mold sores in the Chu Country.

Bai Zhi returned to the Dongfang Family Mansion. However, she just stepped her foot in the hall, when the Ke Family’s carriage arrived, filled with gifts.
Dongfang Mu refused to accept it. He told them to bring it back.
Although these things were given to Bai Zhi, Bai Zhi lives in Dongfang’s home after all. The carriage of an imperial official entered his mansion and brought boxes of gifts. If people will see this, won’t they accuse him of accepting bribes?
Hearing that Dongfang Mu refused to accept it, Bai Zhi was very upset: “Grandpa, that’s the consultation fee I deserve. How can you return it?”
Dongfang Mu shook his head: “If it is about the matter of consultation fees, you don’t need to think about it. Your grandfather had been living a noble life. You don’t need this consultation fee.”
Got it! He has a point.
Bai Zhi sighed: “Then you have to compensate me.”
Dongfang Mu was happy, he busily pointed his finger towards the location of the warehouse and said: “There are so many things in the warehouse. You can choose by yourself and take whatever you want.”
Bai Zhi wanted to see where the ancient wealthy people kept their possessions. She wanted to see if it look the same as what she saw on the TV. In a big room, there were many shelves full of treasures.
