FSC [QT] Chapter 100.2

If her brother Yu Yan hadn’t been watching over her, Ah Wu wouldn’t even have been able to drink milk, let alone take medicine. It was a miracle that she survived.

Ah Wu herself also knew this, so after she gradually regained her consciousness, she began to nurse herself back to health.

Unfortunately, the types of medicinal materials that could be found in the back mountains were still too few. The only precious ginseng she found was a little too weak for her body to be able to take.

Therefore, after a few years had passed, Ah Wu had only cultivated a shape for herself, but the roots had not been well cultivated.

“But—”

Just when Mrs. Fan and others were feeling sad and guilty after hearing the imperial physician’s conclusion, Imperial Physician Wang spoke again.

“Young lady, have you taken any prescriptions recently?”

He asked this question while looking at Ah Wu.

“Three qian of astragalus, two qian of atractylodes, licorice, angelica… Boil two bowls of water until one bowl of water remains and drink it on an empty stomach.”

Ah Wu felt that she must have been a doctor in one of her previous lives, so she somehow knew the efficacy of many herbal medicines inexplicably in her mind.

At the same time, she also had considerable experience in treating various diseases.

She took care of her own body by taking her own pulse and prescribing medicine.

However, she didn’t know if it was because she didn’t have a complete memory or because she was not a real doctor, so some of the Chinese herbal medicines on hand were always a little difficult to use.

Once, an uncle in the village broke his leg. The first reaction of the doctor in the town was to straighten his bones, and as for how much he could recover, he left it to fate.

But her first reaction was to cut open the wound, check the broken bones, and put in steel nails after resetting them.

Ah Wu didn’t even know where she got this strange idea.

If you cut open a person’s wound, wouldn’t it cause tetanus?

There were also steel nails. She had heard of iron, but what was steel?

If iron nails were used to fix the position of bones, wouldn’t the nails rust?

Therefore, over the years, Ah Wu had been silently absorbing those weird memories in her mind, then breaking up some suitable things, and slowly absorbing them until she could use them skillfully.

As for some things that contradicted this era, she put them aside temporarily to see if there was a chance to use them.

“Who prescribed this prescription?”

Imperial Physician Wang nodded as he listened. The prescription’s proportions were not sophisticated enough, but the medicines used were accurate. The most valuable thing was that these medicines were exactly suitable for the symptoms and were cheap.

“I matched it myself.”

Ah Wu answered honestly.

“Did you match it yourself? Who is your master?”

Imperial Physician Wang was stunned. It wasn’t that he thought women couldn’t study medicine.

In order to provide convenient treatment for the female members of the harem, there were many female doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau. Some of their abilities were not necessarily inferior to those of men.

What really surprised him was Ah Wu’s age. At this age, she could prescribe such a prescription. It was most appropriate to describe her as a genius.

So, Imperial Physician Wang subconsciously thought that Ah Wu had a master, and this prescription was prepared under the guidance of her master.

“I don’t have a master.”

Ah Wu shook her head and said, “When I was very young, my father was often sick. My family couldn’t afford medicine, so we had to go to the mountains to pick herbs. That’s when I learned some pharmacology.”

This was also the reason she explained to the elders in Xiaoxi Village.

“My five senses have been relatively sensitive since I was a child. I can remember medicinal materials that I have smelled, tasted, and seen once.”

“In addition, I secretly learned a little when I delivered medicine to the clinic, so I made a prescription for my own illness.”

Ah Wu’s explanation was unbelievable.

Imperial Physician Wang’s medical skills were inherited from his family. None of the most talented people he had ever met were as capable as Ah Wu, who could prescribe medicine based solely on her knowledge of medicinal materials.

Moreover, she said that as long as she smelled, tasted, and looked at the medicinal materials, she would be able to remember them completely.

Imperial Physician Wang no longer believed that there were such perverted people in the world.

“Smell it. What are the ingredients in this pill?

Imperial Physician Wang didn’t care that the Marquis and his wife were still there. He took out a black pill from the medicine box and tested Ah Wu.

This pill was prepared by him for Ling Zhuo. This delicate young lady had been pretending to be sick every other day recently, but she was not sick and could not stand the bitter taste of medicine. This made Imperial Physician Wang very troubled.

He racked his brain to think of a prescription that could help her recuperate without being overly nourishing or having side effects. He then made it into pills so that she could swallow them with warm water.

“Ginseng, White Poria… Rehmannia glutinosa, Zhigancao…”

Ah Wu smelled it first, then picked up some of the medicine residues, put it in her mouth, and chewed it, and then she said the names of the medicines one by one.

“There are— There are two more flavors.”

Ah Wu tasted them and found that the two flavors were donkey-hide gelatin and wolfberry.

However, with her life experience, she should not have known about wolfberry, a plant that did not grow around Xiaoxi Village, and she should not have known about donkey-hide gelatin, a precious tonic medicine made from donkey skin.
