Inside the Li Zheng Hall.
Empress Zhangsun was lying on a soft couch. A layer of white gauze separated the soft couch from the outside, leaving only her pale wrist exposed.
"Today is not the time to feel the pulse. Empress, please tie this on your arm." Sun Simiao took out the blood pressure monitor. A palace maid immediately took it and tied it on Empress Zhangsun's arm according to Sun Simiao's instructions.
Meton quickly went forward to record Empress Zhangsun's blood pressure.
After Meton used the stethoscope to directly crush the Liu father and son's pulse feeling, he was stopped by Pande before he could say a few words to Sun Simiao. He asked Sun Simiao to immediately enter the palace to check on Empress Zhangsun.
It turned out that Sun Simiao's purpose of coming to Chang 'an this time was to check on Empress Zhangsun.
However, Sun Simiao asked Meton to help with the blood pressure monitor and stethoscope.
In the face of Pande's irresistible invitation, Meton picked up the instrument and followed Sun Simiao into the palace.
"Blood pressure is low!" Meton looked at the blood pressure and frowned.
Sun Simiao nodded and took out the stethoscope and asked the palace maid to place it on Empress Zhangsun's chest.
"Empress, please take a deep breath!"
"Phew!"
Empress Zhangsun took a deep breath and exhaled.
Morton frowned. Even though he wasn't a doctor, he could tell through the white gauze that there was something wrong with Empress Zhangsun's breathing. It was short and hurried, and mixed with some noise.
Sun Simiao's face was solemn. He listened carefully for a long time before putting down the stethoscope.
"Doctor Sun, how is the Empress's condition?"
As soon as Sun Simiao left Empress Zhangsun's room, Li Shimin surrounded him.
"This time, thanks to the stethoscope of Mo Hospital, this humble Daoist has a preliminary understanding of Empress Zhangsun." Sun Simiao glanced at Meton in disbelief. The stethoscope was indeed amazing. It was able to hear the almost inaudible sounds in the human body as if they were right next to the ear.
With the help of the stethoscope, he was able to make a detailed diagnosis of Empress Zhangsun's condition and increase his confidence in using the medicine.
Although this 30% chance would be immeasurably helpful to Empress Zhangsun's condition, it was still not enough.
"Stethoscope?"
Li Shimin had long seen that Sun Simiao had abandoned the use of silk suspensions to take the pulse and used two strange instruments. Because he was not personally in contact with Empress Zhangsun, and because he trusted Sun Simiao, Li Shimin did not raise any objections.
Pound immediately whispered into Li Shimin's ear, briefly recounting the events of the Mo Hospital's challenge to the Mo Hospital.
"This brat!" Li Shimin glared at Meton with hatred. He was speechless. This brat was too troublesome. Now, he had made a good use of silk suspensions to take the pulse into a joke.
In fact, the real big users of silk suspensions were the royal family, especially in the harem. The imperial physicians treated the concubines and princesses in the harem like walking on thin ice. There were many taboos.
With Morton's actions, wouldn't the Royal Family's years of suspenseful diagnosis and treatment become a laughingstock?
Meton was also helpless in the face of the unreasonable Li Er. He could not help but shrink his head. At this time, it was better for him to avoid it.
"Alright, take the medicine according to this prescription. The Empress's condition will definitely improve greatly. She should walk around more often. The Five Animal Frolics will be of great help to the Empress's illness." Sun Simiao's voice sounded, saving Modun once again.
"Five Animal Frolics!" Li Shimin nodded, then grabbed the prescription. Without looking at it, he said, "Come, decoct the medicine for the Empress."
Immediately, an imperial physician came, took the prescription, and hurried away.
"Doctor Sun, you have worked hard." Li Shimin greeted Sun Simiao with a smile.
"Your Majesty is too polite. This commoner is just doing his duty as a doctor!" Sun Simiao said with a wave of his hand.
"I am very touched that Doctor Sun can come thousands of miles to treat the Empress this time. With the medical skills of the Divine Doctor, it should be of great use. I want to give Doctor Sun the Imperial Physician Order and take charge of the Imperial Physician Institute."
The Imperial Physician Order on the side could not help but have a stiff face. His Imperial Physician Order was well done. Now, whether he could keep his position or not was up to someone else.
"Doctor Sun's medical skills are profound. The Minister also greatly admires you. As long as Doctor Sun is willing to come to the Imperial Physician Institute, the Minister is willing to give up the Imperial Physician Order." The Imperial Physician Order was also an expert who knew how to take advantage of the situation. He immediately made the decision that was most beneficial to him.
"Your Majesty, please don't. This commoner is an idle person. How can I take charge of the Imperial Physician Institute?" Sun Simiao refused firmly.
Sun Simiao knew that once he stayed in the Imperial Physician Institute, he would definitely be able to get a high position. However, it was like being trapped in a cage and becoming a vassal of the powerful. This was unacceptable to Sun Simiao who wholeheartedly practiced medicine to help the world.
"Phew!"
Meton heard the Imperial Physician Order heave a sigh of relief. He could not help but twitch his mouth. What was so good about being an imperial physician? If one was not careful, one's head would fall to the ground. Those who were truly skilled in medicine like Sun Simiao and Hua Lao were not willing to be an imperial physician.
Li Shimin also felt helpless. Fame and wealth, these temptations that ordinary people would scramble for, were just fleeting clouds in Sun Simiao's eyes. They were completely useless.
Soon, the Imperial Physician ordered the decoction. After Empress Zhangsun took the medicine, her asthma was quickly controlled and she fell into a deep sleep.
"This commoner will take his leave!"
Sun Simiao saw that his treatment was over and got up to leave.
"I have already arranged a courtyard for you. Doctor Sun, please rest for a while and stay in Chang 'an for a few more days. I hope you can take care of the Empress's condition," Li Shimin said.
"Rest assured, Your Majesty. This commoner came to Chang 'an this time for two reasons. First, I came to see the Empress. Second, I want to visit Mo Hospital and discuss medicine together. I will not leave Chang' an City in a short time," Sun Simiao said. However, he did not refuse the courtyard arranged by Li Shimin. After all, he also needed a place to stay in Chang 'an City.
"Oh! That's great! Meton, you have to take good care of Doctor Sun. If anything happens, you will be responsible. "Li Shimin's expression changed.
"As you wish, Minister!" Meton replied.
"Pande, immediately send Doctor Sun back to rest. I will warn Meton, this brat, in case he neglects Doctor Sun." Li Shimin looked at Meton and revealed a wolf-like smile.
"I!"
Meton could only watch as Sun Simiao left with a helpless expression, leaving himself in Li Shimin's clutches.
"Do you know why I asked you to stay?" Li Shimin looked at Sun Simiao's back and said faintly.
Meton was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "It is for the Empress's condition!"
"That's right! The only one who can treat the Empress now is Doctor Sun. I have tried many times to persuade Doctor Sun to stay, but he has not succeeded. "Li Shimin couldn't help but reveal a gentle tone when talking about Empress Zhangsun.
