When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 635 Zhang Ji: Please extend the snake’s head to the Queen Mother
The pulse is tight and strong, which should not be a complicated disease.

Zhang Ji hesitated for a few moments and then released his white wrist.

"Your Majesty, please open your mouth and stick out the snake's head."

"Why?"

Li Yanyan's face remained motionless, still looking as ethereal as a fairy, but her heart was already turning upside down.

The method of tongue diagnosis was extremely popular in later generations, but now it only has the most basic concept and has not been officially spread.

The earliest record of the method of tongue diagnosis is in the "Huangdi Neijing", but in fact this book is just a later medical technique named after the Yellow Emperor. It was founded in the Spring and Autumn Period, and was popular among the two schools of doctors and medical practitioners during the Warring States Period. range spread.

There are only more than ten disciples of tongue diagnosis between the two schools. Although most of the imperial doctors of the princes are from doctors and alchemists, they will not use this diagnostic and treatment method that is not widely recognized. Those powerful people, or doctors and technicians, would never send disciples who knew the method of tongue diagnosis to serve as officials.

Doctors are compassionate, but they are not stupid, and they are not irreplaceable methods of diagnosis and treatment. If they are used on the powerful, they will not gain anything if they work. If they do not work, they will be punished. This is why in later generations there will be emperors who issue high-profile orders to search for people. The reason why folk doctors treat people's diseases.

Even the leader of the medical field, Master Nianduan, did not dare to use risky methods to diagnose and treat the powerful, but private doctors dared to use risky prescriptions. This is how the so-called folk remedies came into being.

"The tongue diagnosis technique taught by Master Nianduan, the leader of the medical profession, can observe the tongue texture, tongue coating, and tongue sensation to assist diagnosis."

Li Yanyan nodded lightly. Although she had never heard of this diagnostic method, Zhang Ji had brought up Nian Duan's name as a guarantee. He couldn't be deliberately teasing her, right?
Thinking of this, Li Yanyan opened her red lips slightly, and spit out a pink spiritual snake with a touch of fragrance.

Zhang Ji asked a palace maid for a pair of ivory chopsticks, and gently clamped the snake's head. It seemed that he could not see clearly. His upper body was slightly tilted towards Li Yanyan, and his face was much closer. His slightly hot breath hit Li Yanyan. A blush appeared on his cheeks, which were somewhat pale due to illness, and his palms clenched unconsciously.

"The tongue coating is yellowish and greasy, and the pulse is tight and strong. Does the Queen Mother often suffer from loss of appetite, insomnia and dreaminess, and occasionally suffers from dizziness and headaches during the day?"

Li Yanyan just wanted to speak, but she couldn't. Her beautiful eyes pointed at Zhang Ji's hand and the ivory chopsticks that had not let go, with a hint of resentment.

Zhang Ji seemed to be belatedly letting go of the ivory chopsticks, and a few tiny silk threads hung from the jade-white ivory chopsticks, shining slightly in the sunlight.

"The symptoms mentioned by Luonan Jun are indeed consistent with my symptoms. I never thought that Luonan Jun had the extraordinary Qihuang technique."

Li Yanyan forced herself to calm down, but she couldn't get rid of the blush on her beautiful face caused by embarrassment, especially when she kept glancing at the ivory chopsticks she had left on her... I can't calm down either.

"In this case, the Queen Mother's illness should not be worrying, it is just stagnation of liver qi."

"Then...please ask Mr. Luonan to write down the prescription."

Zhang Ji rejected the pen and ink handed to him by the maid at the side, shook his head and said: "If there is no serious disease, foreign ministers have never liked to use medicine and stones to treat diseases."

"Whenever you want to cure a disease, you should first treat it with food. If the disease is not cured by food, then use medicine, which is three-part poison."

"Although medicinal stones are used to treat diseases, they are also toxic. A small amount of use will not affect the body, but eventually the poison will accumulate in the body. Over time, it will still burden the body."

"Everyone in the world knows that foreign ministers are greedy for food, and foreign ministers often delve into delicacies to satisfy their wives' appetites, and have also figured out many delicacies that are good for the body. I call this 'Food therapy'.

"However, dietary therapy does not cure diseases in one day, but takes a long time. Therefore, Foreign Minister also has another method. It has no side effects and can be effective on the same day. Most of the diseases can be cured within seven days. It is a bit offensive." Zhang Ji deliberately said. He stopped talking and tried to arouse the interest of the Queen Mother of Chu who was listening attentively.

Li Yanyan, who had heard Zhang Ji's novel treatment ideas for the first time, was indeed intrigued by Zhang Ji's topic. She put her fair-skinned hands on her cheeks, which gradually faded away from her rosy cheeks as she listened in rapt attention. , curiously said: "Why are you saying anything offensive? If Mr. Luonan has a way, just use it."

Of course, this was also because Li Yanyan really didn't like drinking those bitter soups.

Just like Zhao Ji in the past, she hated soups and medicines, and just like Zhang Ji's wives, even though she was a killer in the past, Jing Salad never cared about illness and bitter medicines. Over the years, she has gradually grown up with Zhang Ji's company. I no longer like those bitter soups...well, except the ones that help with conception.

It seems that no matter how old a woman is, she will dislike the bitter taste of Chinese medicine. Unless it is absolutely necessary, even if she knows that drinking it is good for the body, she will still hesitate or even refuse to take the medicine.

The young widow Queen Mother was no exception.

But Zhang Ji still didn't say a word, and glanced at the palace ladies beside him.

Li Yanyan's beautiful eyes moved slightly. She had heard that many doctors and medical practitioners would often ask to exclude everyone except the patients when treating the powerful because they were worried that their secret skills would be leaked.

Just now, Zhang Ji proposed that "medicine is three parts poison" and diet therapy. These were all things she had never heard of. She must be worried that her skills would be leaked.

Therefore, Li Yanyan also consciously cooperated with Zhang Ji and waved her hand to retreat the palace maids on the left and right. Seeing this, Zhang Ji seemed to be relieved, then looked slightly embarrassed, lowered his head and said: "This method is to massage the Queen Mother's feet."

After Zhang Ji's words fell, the hall suddenly became as silent as death. Li Yanyan's pretty face once again showed a bright red color that could not fade away. She bit her silver teeth lightly and stared at Zhang Ji with her beautiful eyes, as if she wanted to get out of Zhang Ji's eyes. It could be seen on his face whether he was teasing her.

However, Zhang Ji only had a look of embarrassment on his face, and his cheeks were as red as hers.

"In the past, when I first came to Xianyang and met the Queen Mother of Qin, I also used this method to treat her illness. If the Queen Mother does not believe it, you can write to the Queen Mother Zhao."

Zhang Ji's voice gradually lowered, but his speaking speed increased a bit, as if he was afraid of her misunderstanding.

Seeing Zhang Ji's panic, Li Yanyan dispelled her doubts.

Li Yanyan found this contrast interesting to a famous general who had made decisive attacks and achieved numerous results on the battlefield, but he looked shy and panicked, especially since the man in front of her was the lover of her dreams that she had longed for.

Moreover, since the Empress Dowager Zhao of the Qin State did this before recognizing Zhang Ji as her adopted son, and even thanked Zhang Ji afterwards, it is obvious that the means Zhang Ji said were not lies.

Anyway... there are no outsiders here, so it shouldn't hurt if you give it a try, right?
Li Yanyan looked around, and after confirming that everyone in the palace had exited the palace according to her order, she felt a little moved.

She didn't know what was wrong with her. She usually wished that there was no man within fifty steps around her, but today she was secretly looking forward to having some close contact with Zhang Ji.

No, Li Yanyan, you are just trying to alleviate Luo Nanjun's panic and shyness, you don't really have any ideas.

Yes, this is all to take care of Lord Luonan's face, for the smooth peace negotiation between Qin and Chu, and for her son's Chu State. There is absolutely no other idea!
"Then...there is Mr. Lao Luonan."
