Chapter 789 Are you really proficient in medicine?
Gao Yimeng smiled and carefully put the letter away. "Okay, I'll go home soon and give this letter to my father! Madam Second Young Master, please rest assured. If what you said in this letter is true, then Chen Xiaowu will be cleared of his grievances and will no longer be imprisoned!"
Shen Wantang believed that Gao Yimeng's promises were true.
Because the reason she was looking for Gao Yimeng was because Gao Yimeng's father Gao Mingyu, like Tai Yuliang, was a Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion.
However, although they were both Grand Secretaries of Wenyuan Pavilion, the degree of respect they enjoyed in front of the emperor was very different. Tai Yuliang was highly valued by the emperor, participated in state affairs, and assisted in government affairs, while Gao Mingyu was marginalized and is now a marginalized figure.
But in fact, before Tai Yuliang entered Wenyuan Pavilion, the person who was valued was Gao Mingyu.
After Tai Yuliang entered Wenyuan Pavilion, he used many means to sow discord in front of the emperor, and joined forces with other people in Wenyuan Pavilion to suppress Gao Mingyu, so Gao Mingyu became less and less favored by the emperor.
Even now, Gao Mingyu is almost kicked out of Wenyuan Pavilion, and he has long lost any real power.
Shen Wantang gave Gao Yimeng the perfect opportunity to bring down Tai Yuliang. When Gao Mingyu got the letter, he would definitely use all his connections to spare no effort to overturn Chen Xiaowu's case.
With witnesses and evidence, public voices, and the power of the court, this time, the case will be solved successfully.
However, this time, it can only be regarded as an exchange of interests between her and Gao Yimeng. If she really wants to establish friendship with Gao Yimeng, she needs something else.
So, after chatting for a while, Shen Wantang said, "I see that the young lady's complexion is not good. Even with the lip balm, her lips are still bluish purple. Is she a little weak in Qi and blood?"
It is a bit presumptuous to point out that someone is not feeling well when you are not familiar with them.
Gao Yimeng's face froze immediately. "I didn't expect the Second Young Master's wife to be skilled in medicine! Oh, yes, I remember now. Your connection with the Second Young Master of the Duke's Mansion seemed to be due to you saving the Duke's wife at Fazhen Temple?"
As she spoke, she suddenly became curious: "Are you really proficient in medicine? Are you very good at it? What are you good at?"
Shen Wantang smiled faintly at her: "How about you try and see if I'm really proficient?"
Gao Yimeng had been married into the Duke of Zhongjing's mansion for several years but had not been able to conceive. She had tried everything she could, but still had no success.
Moreover, she was not as lucky as Meng Yunlan. Her mother-in-law was quite dissatisfied with her. She was never in a good mood when she saw her, and even said behind her back that she was a chicken that didn't lay eggs.
What's even worse is that her husband also dislikes her for not being able to have children, saying that she wants their Zhongjing Marquis's family to be extinct. Over the past few years, he has taken four or five concubines home in succession, who have already given birth to one illegitimate son and two illegitimate daughters, and another concubine is already pregnant.
She had a very hard time in the mansion of the Marquis of Zhongjing. In desperation, she came to pray to the gods and Buddhas devoutly, begging Guanyin to have mercy on her and give her a child.
Thinking of the dark and gloomy life in the Zhongjing Marquis's mansion, Gao Yimeng made up his mind, rolled up his sleeves, and extended his wrist to Shen Wantang: "Then give it a try!"
Anyway, everyone in the capital knows that she can't have children, so Shen Wantang won't be the only one to be affected.
Shen Wantang even tried hard to rescue the brother of her personal maid, so she must not be a bad person. Since she is willing to take her pulse, then let her do it. She will try her best!
Shen Wantang placed his hand on Gao Yimeng's wrist and took her pulse quietly and seriously.
After examining one hand, she asked Gao Yimeng to change to the other hand and continue examining.
Gao Yimeng had seen many doctors, so when Shen Wantang took action, she found that Shen Wantang really understood medical skills, and his posture and technique of taking the pulse were very professional.
She looked at Shen Wantang with a hint of hope, just as she would any other highly respected doctor. "Second Young Master's Madam, how is it? Is there any way to improve my health?"
Shen Wantang withdrew his hand and asked her, "What do you usually eat?"
Gao Yimeng sighed, "Is there no way to cure me? Oh, what can I eat on a normal day? I can't eat anything."
Shen Wantang looked at the maid standing behind Gao Yimeng.
The maid glanced at Gao Yimeng, and seeing she had no intention of stopping her, she said, "Madam, our mistress doesn't care much for food. No matter how good the food is, she'll just eat a few bites and leave it alone. But she loves to eat ice. The doctor forbids it, saying it's too cold and bad for her health, but she can't resist it. She always has to eat a few bites before she feels comfortable."
Shen Wantang nodded: "Every time it's your menstrual period, do you crave ice cream more?"
The maid shook her head hesitantly. "No, the doctor strictly forbids the master from eating ice during menstruation. It will easily cause abdominal pain, so she is not allowed to eat ice during menstruation."
However, Gao Yimeng was surprised and asked without hesitation: "How did you know?"
"Your menstrual flow is becoming less and less? And the duration of menstruation is becoming shorter and shorter?"
"Yes!"
"Well, your Qi and blood are severely depleted, so you have these symptoms. As for the reason why your Qi and blood are so severely depleted—"
Shen Wantang raised his head and looked at Gao Yimeng intently: "You had a miscarriage and your body hasn't recovered."
Gao Yimeng's eyes instantly turned red. She grabbed Shen Wantang's hand and said, "Second Young Master's Madam, you've even figured this out? Help me, please help me!"
Of course, it is impossible to diagnose whether she has had a miscarriage, but Gao Yimeng's qi and blood loss is so severe, and her menstruation is extremely irregular, so there is no other possibility except miscarriage.
Even if she was stabbed twice and hadn't eaten or slept for two days and two nights, her pulse wouldn't be so weak.
Miscarriage is very harmful to the body, and she must not have rested well after the miscarriage. She relied on her youth and let the man do whatever he wanted, so she could never get pregnant again.
Shen Wantang patted Gao Yimeng's hand soothingly and ordered the maid, "Dujuan, grind the ink."
"Yes!"
Dujuan leaned over and added water to the inkstone to grind ink.
Shen Wantang picked up the pen and wrote a prescription for Gao Yimeng. Then, he carefully wrote down what to eat for three meals a day.
Gao Yimeng leaned over to read the instructions, and as she did so, she asked curiously, "Second Young Master's Madam, why are you different from other doctors? Other doctors tell me to drink soups, all kinds of nourishing soups, but why don't you write any soups?"
Shen Wantang patiently explained to her, "Soup actually has very little nutritional value. Red meat is actually what's more nourishing and replenishing. Also, from what you just said, you probably can't drink that, so I've written something you can eat."
Gao Yimeng was almost moved to tears. "Oh my God, this is the first time someone has told me that I don't need to drink those tonic soups! You are my savior! No wonder the Duke's wife likes you so much that she wants you to be her daughter-in-law. I've only met you once and I'm already in love with you!"
