The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Looking at the snow outside the window and the beautiful woman in the house, the Queen said with emotion: "Although winter is cold, spring is already hidden in it."

Then, the Queen Mother turned her gaze to Song Yangqi, with a faint smile on her lips, and her eyes concealed the kindness of an elder to a younger generation: "Yangqi, I heard that you were a little unwell a few days ago, but now it seems that you should have fully recovered."

Hearing this, Yang Qi bowed slightly and said in a soft and respectful voice: "Thank you for your concern, Queen. Yang Qi is fine now. This is all thanks to the Queen's blessing."

Although the Queen didn't know much about what happened between her and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, she knew a lot.

But as the sister of her adoptive father and a mother who could teach the Crown Prince to be so capable, the Queen must be no ordinary person.

Moreover, one of Lady Nian and the Fifth Prince was showing off her power in the palace, while the other was opposing the Crown Prince everywhere outside the palace. The fact that the Empress was able to deal with them and still maintain her position on the throne despite the Emperor's extreme favoritism was probably her own business, and the Empress had known about it for a long time.

However, since the Queen Mother did not point this out, Yang Qi would not speak rashly.

The Queen's smile became even gentler when she heard this, and she nodded: "You don't have to be so polite, child. I am relieved to see that you are full."

"Speaking of which, I have a headache recently. I don't know why, but my hands and feet are very cold at night these days. I heard that you know some medical skills, why don't you help me take a look?"

As soon as the Queen said this, Rong Pei knew that the Queen wanted to talk to Yang Qi alone. After all, the Queen had an imperial physician come to check her pulse every day, so why did she need Yang Qi to see her? She was just looking for an excuse.

After making up her mind, Rong Pei winked at the palace maids in the hall, and after everyone left the palace, she also retreated and slowly closed the door.

What Rong Pei could think of, Princess Yuanyi and Yang Qi knew as well.

Princess Yuan Yi covered the cake in her mouth and smiled: "Yang Qi, I didn't know you were proficient in medicine before, come and take a look at my mother.

However, you are so proficient in medicine, how come you can't take care of yourself and get seriously ill?"

Listening to Princess Yuanyi's teasing, Yang Qi smiled and said, "It's embarrassing for a doctor not to treat himself, Princess.

It is Yang Qi's honor to have the Queen's trust today."

Gently taking the Queen's wrist pulse, Yang Qi closed his eyes and concentrated, carefully feeling the subtle changes in the pulse.

The pulse is deep, thin, astringent, and has a stringy feel. It does not look like the pulse is caused by weak qi and blood. My grandfather's notes said that it is more like the sign of cold stagnation and blood stasis.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Qi said, "I wonder if the Queen has any other symptoms besides cold hands and feet?"

The Queen initially just wanted to find an excuse to dismiss everyone, but now seeing Yang Qi's expression, she became a little serious and recalled carefully: "Recently, I often feel weak and sometimes have chest tightness and pain."

"I don't know, what did the imperial physician say?"

The imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau are all national masters and his predecessors. With the power of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Empress, the imperial physicians must be his confidants.

"Doctor Wang did say that I was suffering from insufficient Qi and blood, and he has prescribed a lot of blood-replenishing and Qi-boosting prescriptions these days. In Yang Qi's opinion, is there any other hidden story behind this?"

"Your Majesty, your pulse shows that coldness is condensing in your body, which is causing obstruction in the flow of qi and blood. Over time, you will experience symptoms such as chest tightness and cold limbs. In my opinion, this is not simply a loss of qi and blood, but rather caused by coldness and blood stasis. If not treated in time, there may be more serious consequences."

When the Queen heard this, her expression did not change, but a fierce light flashed in her eyes.

Princess Yuan Yi was shocked: "Yang Qi, tell me frankly, what caused this disease?"

My father has never been on the same page with my mother. Over the years, my fifth brother and Concubine Nian have been secretly causing her a lot of trouble, causing her to be uneasy all these years.

This time, if it was just the Queen Mother’s daily worries, it would be fine, but if it was done by Nian Shi...

Thinking of this, Princess Yuanyi slowly clenched her hands.

"Your Highness, this 'cold blood stasis' refers to the cold evil invading the human body, causing poor blood circulation, slow or even stagnant blood flow, and thus forming blood stasis in the body. This condition can be caused by a variety of factors, including cold environment, improper diet, emotional stress, physical weakness, or the influence of other diseases.

However, it does not rule out the possibility that someone may intentionally use certain medicines or poisons with cold properties, which may indeed artificially induce the state of "cold stagnation and blood stasis".

For example, some Chinese medicines with strong cold properties, such as rhubarb, mirabilite, scutellaria, and coptis, if used improperly or in excessive doses, may damage the body's yang energy and lead to endogenous cold evil, causing cold stagnation and blood stasis if taken for a long time. "

"Then in your opinion, what should we do now?" Yuan Yi asked anxiously after hearing Yang Qi's words.

Yang Qi took a subtle look at the Empress's expression and saw that everything was normal, so he spoke: "Fortunately, the Empress's illness is not serious. The treatment should focus on warming the meridians and dispelling cold, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, such as using Guizhi Fuling Pills, Shaofu Zhuyu Pills, Wenjing Decoction and other prescriptions, and at the same time combining appropriate warming and hot therapies, such as moxibustion and hot compresses, to help improve blood circulation and eliminate the symptoms of cold stagnation and blood stasis."

After listening to Yang Qi's words, the Queen smiled lightly: "So, this illness of mine cannot be cured in a day or two. How about this, I think Yuan Yi is a child that really gets along with you, why don't you stay in the palace for a while?"

Yang Qi blinked. Did the Queen want her to treat him?

"Princess Yuanyi is both intelligent and gentle. It would be an honor for Yangqi if she could study with His Highness."

Patting Yuan Yi's hand, the Queen smiled and said, "Yang Qi will live in your palace these days. There are many rules in the palace, so you have to take good care of her.

Now, go to the palace to make arrangements first, and don't delay."

Yuan Yi just learned about this matter and was now anxious to discuss it with her brother. She said, "What the queen mother said is right. I will arrange this matter right away."

After saying that, Yuan Yi hurried out of the house and walked towards the East Palace.

At this time, I'm afraid the morning court has already ended, and my brother must be handling affairs in the East Palace.
