After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

Nian Susu walked over quickly, lifted her skirt and knelt on the footstool. The height was just right. She saw that Xiaozhi's face was as pale as paper, sweat was all over her forehead, her lips were white and chapped, her facial features were twisted into a ball, and she looked very painful.

"Xiao Ning...it hurts..." Xiao Zhi closed her eyes tightly and managed to squeeze out these four words from between her clenched teeth.

"Miss Nian, please go and see how she is doing?" Xiao Ning was about to cry.

Nian Susu calmly took Xiaozhi's pulse.

Due to the underdeveloped medical technology in ancient times, gynecological diseases could not be diagnosed and treated by taking the pulse alone. It was necessary to use the four aspects of "looking, smelling, asking, and palpating" to understand the specific situation.

Women in ancient times were much more sensitive about their private parts than modern people are. They were ashamed to talk about it, let alone let others see it. Therefore, "gynecologists" were scarce in that era. Regardless of whether they were men or women, if they were associated with "hidden diseases", they would be despised.

Is this also why Ah Qing was so embarrassed when she went to invite her?

However, as a modern person, Nian Susu doesn't mind these things. It just depends on whether Xiaozhi can get over it.

"Do you live with her?" Nian Su Su asked, looking up.

Xiao Ning nodded with tears in her eyes.

"What are the specific symptoms of her discomfort? Is it just a stomachache? Is there anything else?" Nian Susu asked.

Xiao Ning thought about it and told her, "In addition to the pain in her lower abdomen, she also told me about back pain, headache, and nausea, but these symptoms are not serious. It's just that the stomach pain is more obvious."

"And..." Xiao Ning's cheeks turned red. She bit her lip and lowered her head, whispering, "And after last night, her menstrual fluid increased a lot."

Nian Susu looked solemn. According to her initial judgment, it should be endometritis, but this concept did not exist in ancient times, and she couldn't explain it. She could only prescribe an anti-inflammatory and analgesic prescription and asked Xiao Ning to go to the medical hospital to get the medicine.

Xiao Ning held the prescription and stood there without moving.

Nian Susu was helping Xiaozhi wipe her sweat, and when he turned around, he found that she hadn't left yet, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Ning clenched a corner of the paper and said, "The people at the medical institute won't prescribe medicine for us."

She said "we", not "I".

Nian Susu suddenly remembered what Ah Qing and Chen Ling said in his tent.

Ah Qing said, "The people at the medical hospital think we are dirty and never treat any illness. It's even harder to find a doctor for this kind of illness."

She then realized that the people in the medical hospital would not treat military prostitutes. Somehow, she thought of Li Huairen.

Li Huairen left a good impression on her. He didn't seem like the kind of person who would flatter the powerful and look down on the weak. Besides, he was also a doctor. Even if other people in the medical hospital looked down on military prostitutes, he shouldn't have stood by and watched them die.

She looked at Xiao Ning's pale face, and her heart ached. "What if you get sick?"

Xiao Ning's mood did not change much, as if she had gotten used to it. "Just make it through. If you can't make it, then die. Death is also a kind of relief."

She forced a bitter smile and shrugged, "Many of us want to die, but we don't have the courage. Some people will make themselves sick, and maybe die one night with a fever."

Nian Susu felt very unhappy. The beasts in Liang Wu’s army did not take their lives seriously, and they did not value their own lives either.

"Go to the medical hospital and find a doctor named Li and ask him to prescribe medicine for you." Nian Susu is still willing to believe that Li Huairen is the same as himself. A doctor has a kind heart and will not sit idly by.

"What if he doesn't agree?" Xiao Ning asked.

"If you don't agree, I'll go myself."

Xiao Ning left, and only two people were left in the tent.

Nian Susu gave Xiaozhi acupuncture to relieve her pain. Only when her expression was less painful did Nian Susu try to communicate with her.

"Xiaozhi, can you hear me?"

She didn't respond, she didn't even open her eyes.

Nian Susu took her hand and said, "You don't need to speak or open your eyes. I will ask you a question. If you agree, move one finger. If you disagree, move two fingers."

After a while, Xiaozhi hooked her index finger upwards.

Nian Susu was delighted and immediately asked a question: "After I gave you the acupuncture, you feel much better, right?"

The index finger moved again.

Nian Susu glanced towards the door and rolled her throat nervously. The medical hospital was not far from here, Xiao Ning would be back soon, so she had to hurry.

"It's just you and me here. I'm a doctor and I can cure you, but can you let me see...what's going on under your abdomen?"

Nian Susu waited for a long time, but Xiaozhi didn't respond.

"I know you feel bad, but you're embarrassed to let others see your body, right?"

Xiaozhi moved a finger.

"Xiaozhi, it's not your fault that you're sick. Don't feel embarrassed. I'm a doctor and I'm a woman like you. We are essentially the same."

"For your health's sake, can you let me take a look? It will be fine soon."

Xiaozhi thought about it for a long time and finally agreed.

-

Xiao Ning returned to the tent dejectedly. Xiao Zhi was sleeping soundly. Nian Susu made a "hush" gesture to her, and the two went outside the tent to talk.

When Nian Susu saw that she did not bring back the medicine, she was very disappointed with Li Huairen.

Unexpectedly, what Xiao Ning said next directly overturned her opinion of Li Huairen.

Xiao Ning: "Doctor Li burned the prescription you gave me and asked me where I stole it from. He also said that if I dared to let him find out again, he would have someone beat me to death."

Xiao Ning felt very aggrieved.

"What?" Nian Susu was dumbfounded, "He actually said such a thing!"

Li Huairen, this hypocrite, seemed to care about her and take care of her, but in fact he looked down on even the women in the camp. I don't know what he was planning behind her back.

Nian Susu tried his best to suppress his anger and let Xiao Ning go in to take care of Xiao Zhi.

"I'll go find him myself."

Medical institute.

Li Huairen was decocting medicine in the open space behind the tent. He was busy watching the fires of three stoves and could not take care of everything.

"Holly, come and help watch the fire." He shouted without turning back.

Nian Susu walked behind him and helped him look after one of the stoves as he said, stuffing the wood that was about to fall to the ground under the stove.

Li Huairen didn't realize that the person beside him was not his apprentice Dong Qing. He put his fist to his lips and coughed a few times, then waved away the smoke in front of him and joked, "Why did you come so quickly this time? I shouted at the top of my lungs before, but he didn't respond."

The flames in Nian Susu's eyes grew higher and higher. She sneered, "It seems that Doctor Li's apprentice is not very obedient."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Huairen was so scared that he fell off the small stool, supporting himself on the ground with his hands and half of his buttocks leaning against the tilted wooden stool.

He stared at Nian Susu in panic, "Miss Nian, why...why are you here?"

"I can't come?" Nian Susu raised his eyebrows and asked back. His tone was not kind, let alone a joke. Instead, he was arguing with him very seriously.
