Qiu Yan nodded. “The imperial physician of the imperial hospital said that my wife has vertigo. It’s a disease she had since she was born. It’s a problem in her brain. She can only take medicine to alleviate it. It can’t be cured completely.”
It was no secret that Madam Qiao had vertigo. Everyone in the capital knew about her illness.
Gu Qingxue could not help but laugh when she heard that.
Madam Qiao did not have vertigo at all. She had cervical spondylosis. Once the cervical spondylosis was serious, it would cause vertigo.
It was just that the medical standard at this time was poor, so it was impossible to determine her condition, which led to a misdiagnosis.
“The imperial physician was wrong. Your madam doesn’t have vertigo. She has cervical spondylosis,” Gu Qingxue said.
“Cervical spondylosis?” Qiu Yan tilted her head in confusion. She did not understand what Gu Qingxue meant by cervical spondylosis.
“To put it simply, the spine of your madam’s back was dislocated and shifted, which resulted in the compression of her nerves. Today, she fell down the stairs because of her cervical spondylosis, which caused her to lose her footing,” Gu Qingxue explained.
“Nonsense. The dislocation of a human bone will lead to dislocation and immobility. The bones of the imperial duke’s wife didn’t dislocate at all!” Gu Chengbin snorted coldly from his nose and retorted disdainfully.
“The spine is the center of the human body. The state it presents after dislocating is different from that of ordinary bones. I have a way to alleviate madam’s condition and help her straighten her bones,” Gu Qingxue said and helped Madam Qiao sit up.
Everyone watched Gu Qingxue’s action. They watched as she held Madam Qiao’s neck and twisted it forcefully.
“Ah! She killed someone!” The timid women screamed shrilly when they saw this scene.
Gu Qingxue acted as if she did not hear it. She turned her hand and twisted Madam Qiao’s neck to the other side.
Another crisp sound almost scared Gu Chengbin.
Was Gu Qingxue sure that she was treating a patient and not killing someone?!
Gu Qingxue’s movements were extremely swift. She then helped Madam Qiao straighten her bones. She bent her arms and legs at times. She bent Qiao’s bones until they made cracking sounds, and successfully shocked everyone.
After doing all this, Gu Qingxue asked Qiu Yan to help her. She helped Madam Qiao sit down in the pavilion.
Madam Qiao’s painful expression eased up a lot, but she was still unconscious.
After Gu Qingxue helped Madam Qiao with the wound on her head, she took out a small bottle and let Madam Qiao smell the smell of the medicine.
“Ugh… !” Qiao grunted and opened her eyes, looking around in confusion.
“Madam, you’re awake!” Qiu Yan almost cried with joy. “You fell down just now. It was Miss Gu who saved you!”
Madam Kou and Gu Chengbin’s faces turned extremely ugly when they saw this.
Gu Qingxue actually succeeded?
“That’s impossible! Gu Qingxue, what sorcery did you use?!” Gu Xin’er was so scared that her face turned pale, she quickly complained, “Imperial duke’s wife, you don’t know. Gu Qingxue deliberately tortured you just now and almost broke your bones. It’s clear that she has ulterior motives!”
“Madam, do you have unbearable pain in your back every night? When it’s raining on a cloudy day, is the pain worse than death?” Gu Qingxue asked.
Madam Qiao showed a surprised look, “How do you know?”
“Because these are the symptoms of cervical spondylosis. Madam, what you have is not vertigo, but cervical spondylosis. I’ve already straightened Madam’s bones just now. You can stand up and feel it. I can guarantee that the pain in your back has been alleviated a lot,” Gu Qingxue said confidently.
