Rebirth: Phoenix Riding the Ninth Heaven

The morning sun gently streamed through the window onto the bed, bringing a touch of warmth and brightness to the entire room. Li Ruoyue slowly opened her eyes, taking in this beautiful morning. After a night's rest, she felt refreshed and refreshed.

Thinking back to last night's fatigue and anxiety, they had now dissipated. She knew a new day had begun, and she needed to keep moving forward. So, she decided to enjoy a delicious breakfast before heading out to check out the clinic. After all, it was her future career, and something she looked forward to.

With this decision, Li Ruoyue stood up and prepared to face new challenges and opportunities. She believed that as long as she persevered and worked hard, everything would get better.

Li Ruoyue, accompanied by Lu Zhu, rode in a carriage and slowly arrived at the door of the clinic. She stepped out of the carriage and walked into the clinic. Seeing the owner coming, the shop assistants all bowed and greeted. Li Ruoyue smiled and responded to everyone, then walked straight to the back hall.

In the back hall, Doctor Chen was sorting medicinal herbs. Seeing Li Ruoyue come in, he hurried forward to greet her: "Boss, you're here!"

Li Ruoyue nodded and asked, "How's the business in the store lately?"

Doctor Chen replied respectfully, "Master, business has been pretty good these past few days, with many patients coming in every day. However, we need to replenish some of the herbs, so please make the necessary arrangements."

Li Ruoyue walked over to the table, sat down, and carefully examined the account book. At this moment, Lu Yixuan and Lin Feng also walked in and poured Li Ruoyue a cup of tea. The two of them chatted back and forth, reporting on the store's situation, including some special cases and patient feedback.

Li Ruoyue listened attentively to their stories, occasionally raising questions and suggestions. She already had a general understanding of the store's operations, but she still wanted to hear more opinions. So, she asked the other shop assistants and apprentices for their opinions. Everyone expressed satisfaction and offered suggestions for improvement.

Li Ruoyue concluded, "Overall, the store is operating well, but there are still some areas that need improvement. We must continue to improve our medical skills and ensure the quality of our medicines. We must also strengthen communication with patients and provide better service."

Everyone nodded, expressing their determination to work hard and live up to their boss's expectations. Li Ruoyue looked at everyone and smiled with satisfaction. She knew that only by working together could the clinic be run better and better.

Li Ruoyue was diligently looking through the account book when Lu Yixuan suddenly arrived at the back hall. He anxiously said to Li Ruoyue, "Boss, there's a special woman up ahead. She's come with a big fuss, veiled, and she specifically wants to see you. Do you want to go and see her?"

Upon hearing this, Li Ruoyue immediately put down the account book in her hand and followed Lu Yixuan to the front hall. Upon entering, she saw a woman in her thirties. She was wearing a veil, her features obscured, but her hair and clothing were exquisite and ornate, clearly a sign of high social status. She was attended by two maids, and behind her followed three young servants, serving her attentively.

Seeing this, Li Ruoyue stepped forward and introduced herself to the woman. "Madam, I'm Dr. Li, specializing in gynecology. What can I do for you?" However, the woman looked at Li Ruoyue with distrust. However, she figured since she was already there, she might as well give it a try, so she followed Li Ruoyue to the back hall.

The patient, named Lin Wan, had a gentle appearance, but her eyes betrayed a subtle trace of fatigue and sorrow. After ten years of marriage, she and her husband had been unable to conceive a child, a situation undoubtedly burdened by immense pressure and suffering in ancient society. Desperate to cure this so-called "infertility," Lin Wan and her husband traveled extensively, visiting countless renowned doctors and trying various folk remedies and medications, but to no avail. In despair, she heard of a skilled female physician at Qihuang Pavilion, and with a last glimmer of hope, she came there.

When Li Ruoyue treated Lin Wan, she displayed a gentleness and patience unlike any other doctor. She didn't rush to a conclusion, but instead carefully inquired about Lin Wan's condition, including her lifestyle, dietary preferences, and past medical records. After gaining a detailed understanding, Li Ruoyue didn't immediately offer a treatment plan. Instead, she comforted Lin Wan, allowing her to let go of the burden, telling her, "Physical problems aren't unsolvable; the important thing is to identify the root cause."

Li Ruoyue then applied her profound medical skills, combined with the experience from the Japanese service notes and her own insights, to develop a personalized treatment plan for Lin Wan. She discovered that Lin Wan's condition wasn't caused by a single physiological factor, but rather the combined effects of chronic mental stress and physical condition. Therefore, Li Ruoyue not only prescribed a remedy for her physical condition but also recommended psychological counseling and lifestyle adjustments to achieve physical and mental harmony.

Li Ruoyue demonstrated her profound medical skills and unique treatment philosophy in addressing Lin Wan's unique condition. Combining the wisdom of traditional medicine with her master's unique techniques, she developed a comprehensive and personalized treatment plan for Lin Wan. The following are Li Ruoyue's main methods for treating Lin Wan's condition:

Li Ruoyue first conducted a detailed interview to understand Lin Wan's disease progression, living habits, dietary preferences, and psychological state. Through the four diagnostic methods of observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation, combined with the master's examination methods, such as blood tests,

Li Ruoyue recognized that Lin Wan's condition wasn't simply a physiological issue, but rather the result of a long-term interaction between mental stress and physical well-being. Therefore, she adopted a mind-body approach, focusing not only on physical treatment but also on psychological counseling. She recommended relaxation activities like meditation and yoga to Lin Wan, and also provided psychological counseling to help her adjust her mindset and reduce stress.

Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles, Li Ruoyue prescribed a Chinese herbal remedy to regulate Lin Wan's endocrine system, improve blood circulation, and boost her immunity. The remedy likely included herbs known for kidney nourishment, menstrual regulation, and tranquilizing properties, such as angelica sinensis, white peony root, wolfberry, and polygonatum, aiming to fundamentally improve Lin Wan's condition.

Li Ruoyue also suggested that Lin Wan adjust her lifestyle, including eating a healthy diet, exercising moderately, and getting enough sleep. She encouraged Lin Wan to eat more foods rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals, avoid overwork, and maintain a good work and rest schedule to promote her body's recovery and health.

During the treatment process, Li Ruo regularly reviewed Lin Wan's condition and adjusted the treatment plan accordingly to ensure maximum effectiveness. She maintained close communication with Lin Wan, answering her questions at any time and providing necessary support and encouragement.

As Lin Wan listened to Li Ruoye's endless stream of plans, a spark of hope welled up in her heart. She had longed for a child of her own for far too long. For over a decade, this wish had lingered in her heart, yet remained unfulfilled. Every spark of hope that had ignited was ruthlessly extinguished, and every disappointment was like a sharp blade, piercing her heart deeply. This relentless struggle between hope and disappointment had left her physically and mentally exhausted.

At this moment, faced with Li Ruoye's confident words, Lin Wan felt somewhat bewildered. She didn't know whether to trust the young doctor. After all, she had experienced too many failures and deceptions. However, deep down, the strong desire for a child made it impossible for her to give up this opportunity. Perhaps this was her last hope; if she missed it, there might be no chance again.

Amidst hesitation and conflict, Lin Wan silently asked herself, "What should I do?" She knew this decision could change her life, but it was also fraught with risk and uncertainty. She had to make a choice, despite the dwindling time and her precarious health. Ultimately, Lin Wan gritted her teeth and secretly resolved to try Li Ruoye's proposed treatment. Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, she would give it her all, striving to fulfill her long-cherished wish.

Unbeknownst to Li Ruoyue, Lin Wan was the sister of the Sixth Prince's mother. She had married the Prime Minister's half-brother, but they had been childless for over a decade. Her husband had taken concubines, and those capable of bearing children entered the palace one after another, stoking a multitude of illegitimate sons and daughters. If it weren't for her sister being the Emperor's consort, she would have been divorced long ago, and where would she find a place in the palace? If she could eventually give birth to a son, her status in her husband's family would improve, and she wouldn't be less valued. At least her sister was the Emperor's woman, so she would still give herself these favors.

Lin Wan was filled with conflict and anxiety, but ultimately she decided to follow Li Ruoyue's instructions, get the medicine, and return home to recuperate. Despite her remaining doubts, she was willing to give Li Ruoyue another chance. After all, with the passing of time, her age was increasing, and her fertility was declining. If she didn't grasp at this last glimmer of hope, she might never be able to have a child of her own.

Back home, Lin Wan silently decocted the herbs into a bitter soup, which she then gulped down in one gulp. Each sip carried both anticipation and anxiety for the future, a gamble on her own fate. In the days that followed, she took her medication regularly and made sure to adjust her lifestyle to maintain a positive outlook. However, as time passed, there was no sign of pregnancy, leaving her feeling anxious and disappointed.

After a while, Lin and I came for a follow-up check. Li Ruoyue made some adjustments based on his existing body.

Under Li Ruoyue's guidance, Lin Wan began receiving a series of unique treatments, including traditional methods such as acupuncture and moxibustion. These therapies not only helped improve her physical condition but also regulated her endocrine system, increasing her chances of conceiving. Meanwhile, Li Ruoyue's family remained by her side, offering her encouragement and support.

A few months later, a miracle finally happened. Lin Wan was delighted to discover she was pregnant, the news bringing her to tears of joy. Her long-cherished dream had finally come true, leaving her feeling incredibly happy and fulfilled. All of this was thanks to her initial gamble, followed by her subsequent persistence and hard work. Now, she had finally welcomed the birth of a new life and become a happy mother. But that was a story for another time. Lin Wan became Li Ruoyue's most loyal supporter, immensely impressed by her medical skills.
