The empress actually had a toothache. This was a serious matter.
"Could it really be a toothache caused by eating sweets?" Ren Baqian wasn't sure. Previously, he was just thinking about it. Was there a need to be so accurate?
The empress's skin was impervious to even swords and knives, yet she actually had a toothache. Ren Baqian found it hard to believe.
"Your Majesty, why don't you open your mouth and let me take a look?" Ren Baqian asked.
The empress rolled her eyes at him.
How was it possible to open her mouth and let him take a look? She would never agree to this kind of thing.
"It doesn't matter," the empress said faintly.
"A toothache isn't an illness, but it can kill you. If you really have a toothache, I'm afraid you will have to eat less sweets in the future, "Ren Baqian advised.
Upon hearing that, the empress raised her eyebrows and looked at Ren Baqian with slanted eyes. She looked as if she would beat him up if he didn't explain himself.
"Your Majesty, if you eat sweets when you have a toothache, it will easily cause periodontal disease." Ren Baqian looked at the empress and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"I already said it doesn't matter." The empress ignored him.
"Why don't we get the doctor to take a look?" Ren Baqian asked.
No matter what, since she was sick, she had to be treated. She couldn't possibly be stubborn.
"Hong Luan, get the doctor to say that I have a toothache," the empress thought for a while and said to the people behind her.
Not long after, the people from the doctor's office came to the hall. There were three of them, and they were all very old.
It seemed that the older the doctors were, the more experienced they were. This was the case no matter which world they were in.
After the few of them greeted each other, one of them came forward to take the empress's pulse.
Ren Baqian couldn't help but interrupt, "A toothache, can you tell by taking a pulse?"
"Noisy." The empress glared at him, and he had no choice but to shut up.
"Where does Your Majesty have a toothache?" The empress pointed at her cheek.
"May I trouble Your Majesty to open your mouth and let me take a look at your teeth," the doctor said after taking the empress's pulse.
"I'm fine, all of you can leave." The empress waved her hand.
"Your Majesty!" Ren Baqian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Wasn't it just taking a look at her teeth? Why was it so difficult?
"Your Majesty, it's better to take a look. Teeth are not a small matter. It would be inappropriate if it affects your appetite in the future," the doctor advised.
The empress frowned and hesitated for a long time before opening her mouth slightly.
The doctor didn't dare to get too close. He looked outside for a long time but couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Your Majesty, I am incompetent." The doctor apologized and took a few steps back.
Another doctor came up.
After the three doctors examined the empress, none of them found anything wrong with her teeth.
Finally, he prescribed some sedative, pain-relieving medicine for the empress and asked someone to brew it for her to consume.
The medical skills of this world were very impressive in other aspects, such as the black mud cream. However, the medical skills of this world were very backward when it came to dentistry.
In fact, it wasn't just this world. It was the same in ancient times on Earth.
Many celebrities suffered from diseased teeth.
Some were tied to the teeth with ropes, and then the other end was tied to the arrow. After pulling the bow, whoosh, the arrow flew out, and the teeth were gone.
Or tie one end to the tooth and the other to the door. He opened and closed the door. Whoosh. His teeth were gone.
It looked simple, but in fact, it was very risky, and it could easily lead to other problems.
For example, Wen Jiao, a famous general from the Eastern Jin Kingdom, had a tooth disease and went to have it extracted. As a result, he suffered a stroke and died in less than ten days.
Therefore, many people used the waiting treatment method. For example, they waited for the tooth to fall out, or they got used to the pain …
Lu You, a poet from the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote in his diary while waiting.
It seems like a disease, but it's not. My arm is broken, but it's hard to keep my teeth when they fall. — Diseased Teeth
It seems like a tooth is going to fall out.
One tooth is on the verge of falling out, and my eyes are blurry. — Old Tan
It seems like another tooth is going to fall out.
Teeth fall but don't chew, feet are lame but can still walk. — Against the Wine
It doesn't matter if it falls out. It's not like it can't be eaten.
A child with broken teeth can endure mockery. Today's rotten rice can be eaten with a spoon. — Miscellaneous Poems on First Return
Damn it, I really can't eat it anymore.
From Lu You's diary, it could be seen that dental problems were very troublesome for the ancient people.
After taking the medicine, the empress couldn't help but start to eat sweets again. However, she had to stop after a while.
Although there was pain-relieving medicine, after eating sweets, she started to feel unbearable pain.
Not being able to eat sweets made the empress feel a little depressed. She even stopped watching television and lay on the couch in a daze.
Tossing and turning could be described as the empress's current state.
"Your Majesty, follow me to Earth in two days' time. The dentists on Earth are more experienced. After all, everyone has their own specialties. We have dentists who specialize in dentistry, "Ren Baqian looked at the empress and couldn't help but say.
The empress remained silent.
At this moment, she finally realized the seriousness of the matter. Not being able to eat sweets made her feel more conflicted than if Great Xia attacked.
Seeing the empress remain silent, Ren Baqian knew that she had acquiesced.
"Move the candy tree away in a while," Ren Baqian said. This was to prevent the empress from wanting to eat the candy tree when she saw it.
"No way!" The empress sat up from the couch and glared at Ren Baqian. That candy tree had almost become her treasure. Whoever dared to touch that tree, she would teach them a lesson.
Ren Baqian helplessly spread his hands when he saw the empress looking at him covetously.
Two days later, Ren Baqian and the empress returned to Earth again.
The empress changed her clothes and sat on the sofa with an ice cream in her hand. After taking two bites, she had no choice but to stop.
In the past, she never felt uncomfortable eating cold food, but it was different this time.
"Your Majesty, let's go to the dentist." Ren Baqian changed his clothes and went downstairs.
Both of them got into the car and Ren Baqian began to follow the route to the dentist's hospital that he found on the map on his phone.
The empress was still in low spirits.
Even though the empress didn't speak much, Ren Baqian could still sense whether she was in a normal mood or not.
"She will be fine after seeing the dentist," Ren Baqian comforted her.
At the dentist's hospital, they registered and took their disposable tools. Ren Baqian and the empress waited for a while before it was their turn.
The dentist was a female doctor in her thirties. When she saw the empress, her eyes flickered slightly.
"Do you have any medical records?"
"No."
"What's the problem?" the dentist asked casually.
"She has a toothache. It should be here." Ren Baqian pointed to his face and said. The empress should be suffering from a toothache here.
"Is she sick or are you sick? Tell me yourself, what's the problem? Where does it hurt? "the dentist said impatiently.
Ren Baqian frowned. This doctor's attitude wasn't very friendly.
"Hurry up, there are still patients waiting behind," the dentist said unhappily.
"Heh!" The empress sneered and raised her eyebrows.
It had been many years since she met someone who talked to her like this.
Toothache was already irritating enough, but she still met someone who was so ignorant.
"Both of you look fine. Next." The dentist glanced at both of them and shifted her gaze behind them.
"Hehe!" Ren Baqian chuckled. He placed the gun on the table and pointed the muzzle at the female dentist.
Violence couldn't solve all problems, but it could solve most of them. Ren Baqian deeply agreed with this saying. At the very least, he could make this damned dentist put away her ugly face.
"Pow." As the gun was placed on the table, the dentist's expression changed. "Both of you better leave quickly. I'm going to call the police."
The empress turned her head and looked at Ren Baqian. Her eyes were filled with curiosity. There was only one meaning. Can I kill her?
Ren Baqian cursed his bad luck. He didn't expect to meet such an ignorant doctor. Would it kill her to have a better attitude?
"Go ahead. You can call the police," Ren Baqian said indifferently.
However, before he could finish his sentence, the empress held the gun in her hand and pulled the trigger.
She had seen Ren Baqian use this gun several times.
It wasn't worth it for her to kill such a person. Ren Baqian's gun was just right.
"Why didn't it fire?" After the empress pulled the trigger, she looked at Ren Baqian suspiciously. She had seen Ren Baqian use this gun in the past.
Ren Baqian was speechless.
"The safety is off." Ren Baqian removed the safety and placed the gun back on the table.
"I'm sorry. What I said just now might have made you uncomfortable. There are too many patients and I was a little anxious. I apologize. "The dentist was so scared that her face turned pale. She trembled as she spoke.
"Bang!" The empress fired a shot at her. A hole immediately appeared in the glass behind her and the surrounding area was filled with cracks.
"So this is how you use it." The empress suddenly understood. She aimed the gun at the dentist and fired.
"Bang!"
The people who were waiting to see the dentist were dumbfounded. Following which, they ran out one after another. As they ran, they shouted, "Murder!"
No one expected to encounter such a thing while seeing a dentist.
At this moment, the dentist was already paralyzed on the ground. The empress's second shot grazed past her ear.
"This thing isn't easy to use." The empress casually threw the gun to Ren Baqian.
"Bang!" Ren Baqian grabbed the gun with one hand and cursed.
He lowered his head and looked at his leg. Blood had dyed his pants red. The wound was very painful. It was so painful that he kept shaking his leg.
"Zixiao …" Ren Baqian wanted to say something but stopped …
"What's wrong with you?" The empress looked puzzled. She didn't know why Ren Baqian shot her with a gun.
She didn't understand guns at all. She didn't even have a concept of them, let alone knowing what misfire was.
