After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

There's really no reason for this kid to pretend to be sick.

Sima Che’s problem had not been resolved yet, and within two days, Luo Chi and others fell ill.

Without exception, these families invited Dr. Chen to visit them.

Sadly, he found nothing.

Several families felt something was wrong. Some sent servants to the county town to ask for a doctor, and some finally thought of Fang Nanzhi.

Isn't it said to be related to the imperial physician?

Please come and try it, it’s okay.

Fang Nanzhi came over with a medicine box, with a little excitement on his face.

Doctor Chen, who was waiting for her at the gate of Luo's house, looked at her puzzledly: "Doctor Fang, is there any happy event today?"

Fang Nanzhi quickly restrained his expression and seemed too happy to see the patient.

She said with a stern face: "The weather is nice today, which makes people feel relaxed."

Doctor Chen nodded, not knowing whether he believed it or not.

Doctor Chen was invited by Fang Nanzhi, under the pretext of wanting to know the patient's condition from the previous one or two days.

The Luo family felt that having more doctors would provide more protection, so they agreed.

The servants of the Luo Mansion opened the door and respectfully invited the guest to the east room in the front yard.

Those who could live in the front yard were the male masters of the Luo Mansion, but the precious young master fell ill, so the girls and ladies from the back yard also rushed over.

We have to care about it.

As soon as he entered the house, Fang Nanzhi was surprised. There were seven or eight people, not counting the servants, chatting with Luo Chi.

She raised her eyebrows and met the eyes of the weak Luo Chi.

The latter's face was pale, his lips were bloodless, his eyes were dark, and he looked very haggard.

"Cough cough!"

Luo Chi started coughing violently, as if he was going to cough out his lungs.

A little maid immediately poured water and looked at the young master worriedly.

Mrs. Luo also realized what was happening and said anxiously, "Doctor Chen, Doctor Fang, please check on Chi'er as soon as possible. He was fine the other day, just having a nightmare and feeling weak when he woke up. But today, he started coughing for no apparent reason, and it's so severe it's piercing his lungs."

Doctor Chen nodded and glanced at Fang Nanzhi.

Fang Nanzhi stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, indicating that he should come first.

Doctor Chen did not refuse. He took two steps forward, placed the pulse pillow, and began to take the patient's pulse while holding his breath.

After a while, he frowned and listened carefully for a long time.

"How strange! When I came to check yesterday, his pulse was strong and vigorous, but today he suddenly feels weak and his kidneys are deficient, and he seems unable to lift a finger."

Doctor Chen stroked his beard and asked to see Luo Chi's tongue coating.

The latter opened his mouth and cooperated obediently.

Doctor Chen's brows tightened, and he asked the maid, "What has Young Master Luo eaten from yesterday to today?"

The maid listed a long list of dishes, such as minced meat porridge, bird's nest, and fish fillets.

In addition to being a tonic, it is also a good diet, so how can one become weak?

Doctor Chen couldn't diagnose the patient's condition for a while, so he simply gave up his place and asked Fang Nanzhi to come.

After carefully taking Luo Chi's pulse, Fang Nanzhi asked him how he felt about coughing.

"But my throat is dry and itchy. Do you have phlegm?"

Luo Chi shook his head: "No, no phlegm."

This is even more bizarre.

Fang Nanzhi's face was serious: "Are you sweating?"

Luo Chi nodded: "Not only do I sweat a lot at night, but I also feel itchy all over."

He was a little embarrassed and felt a little awkward saying these things in front of a little girl.

The servant also testified: "Yes, I helped the young master scratch it a few times at night."

"Could it be eczema?" Doctor Chen wondered.

It’s been hot recently and I’ve had some cases of eczema, but the Luo family is considered a wealthy family. Although they don’t change the sheets and quilts every day, they are still kept clean and hygienic.

How does one get eczema?

Besides, eczema and cough don’t go together.

"Can I take a look at Young Master Luo's back?" asked Doctor Chen.

Luo Chi nodded, but then looked at Fang Nanzhi and stopped moving for a moment.

Mrs. Luo also asked her daughters to retreat, and brothers and sisters also had to avoid danger.

Fang Nanzhi stood up, his expression clear and upright. "I am a doctor, a physician. When I was practicing medicine at Jishiditang, I saw at least two hundred men, if not five hundred."

Hearing her say this, the servant immediately took action.

After helping the young master turn over, he took off his underwear.

A small blue spot actually appeared in the middle of the smooth back.

"My God!"

Mrs. Luo was startled, then furious: "How do you usually take care of the young master? The young master's back is like that... Why didn't you report it earlier?"

The servant and the maid were so frightened that they knelt down immediately.

As a servant, you not only have to serve your master in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also have to find a way to solve the problem if your master is unwell, even if it's just a pimple.

There are bruises all over their backs, but they don’t know it, which is a big mistake.

Luo Chi was also frightened and turned his head to look back, but he could not see anything.

"Madam, when I was helping the young master bathe last night, I didn't see any blue spots. They must be newly grown." The servant said tremblingly.

Mrs. Luo frowned and looked at the two doctors.

Fang Nanzhi touched the blue spot and hesitated: "It seems to be blood clot?"

Doctor Chen also got started.

"Indeed, but Master Luo probably didn't move much yesterday, so how could he have blood clots?"

Generally speaking, blood coagulation is caused by long-term use of certain drugs or violent collision.

After a thorough examination, the two conservatively prescribed a prescription for treating cough and blood clotting.

But Doctor Chen said, "Master Luo's illness was very sudden and somewhat unfounded, so I'm afraid this prescription will only treat the symptoms and not the root cause."

Mrs. Luo understood what it meant to be unsure.

She looked at Fang Nanzhi, who nodded in agreement: "To cure an illness, we must first find the source of the disease. We can only see the surface symptoms now, but we don't know the underlying cause, so it's difficult to cure it."

After she finished speaking, she hesitated and said, "It's just that I took Mr. Luo's pulse and found that he seemed to be depressed. Is that why he couldn't sleep or eat well?"

Doctor Chen was puzzled, as he seemed not to have noticed.

As expected of him being the disciple of the imperial physician, he’s better at taking pulses than him, right?

Mrs. Luo nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it's been two or three days. I haven't been able to sleep well and my appetite has dropped by half."

"I always have nightmares..." she sighed.

Luo Chi is the second legitimate son and the one who has been with her the longest. In her heart, Mrs. Luo dotes on him the most.

How could he get sick out of nowhere?

"I wonder what kind of nightmare it is?" Fang Nanzhi seemed curious.

Mrs. Luo didn't know this either. She asked her son several times, but he refused to say.

But now, the nightmare was related to her illness, and she couldn't help but ask her son again.

Luo Chi looked grim and opened his mouth, seemingly not knowing how to phrase it.

"Mom, please don't ask. I..."

Alas, he sighed, his face turning a little paler.

Mrs. Luo was anxious when she saw this: "Silly child, what's so embarrassing about saying it in front of your mother? You've become like this, it's more important to get treatment."

Luo Chi heard this and hesitated before speaking.

"I've been having the same dream these past few nights."

"In my dream, my head was covered with cloth, and I was in a cave, chained to a cross."

"Then, several people wearing beast masks surrounded me..."

Having said that, Luo Chi swallowed, with horror and fear in his eyes.
