Chapter 69: The Drug Catalyst of Puppy's Spring Fancies

After saying that, the Empress Dowager turned to me and said, "It was this girl who recommended you to me, saying that your medical skills are superb and you can definitely cure Ruan Tuan! Hurry up and take a look!"
I was stunned and looked at Concubine Xue once again. Upon closer inspection, I realized that the maid standing beside her was none other than Liu Li, who had a deep grudge against me.
This girl actually took the opportunity while the empress dowager wasn't looking to glare at me. I was so angry that I couldn't help but erupt. I didn't think much of it when the empress dowager asked me to look at a dog, but now it seems like you're seeking revenge in a roundabout way by calling me a veterinarian?
When I am angry, my mouth does not listen to me. I bowed lightly to the Empress Dowager and confidently said, "I have just examined it, and I can cure this illness!"
Yunyi looked at me like this, repeatedly giving me warning glances, sweating profusely in his urgency, afraid that I would make a big claim and end up causing an uncontrollable situation.
"Oh? Then tell me, what illness does it have?"
The empress dowager's interest was suddenly aroused as she pointed to the furry ball and asked.
Blushing, I smiled and said, "It is now November, which is the ninth month of the lunar calendar. It is the breeding season for dogs, and the furry ball is in heat!"
Hearing this, the Empress Dowager and Concubine Xiao shook their heads with a smile.
On the other hand, Concubine Xue, who was sitting, stood up and laughed, "Hahaha, this little furball is also going through puberty?"
"Hey! Empress Concubine Xue, don't doubt it, this cat can even go into heat!"
I said mysteriously, casting a glance at that little girl, Liuli.
"So, how does Huai Chun explain it!"
Empress Xia also became curious, wondering what I would come up with to explain it from a well-rounded perspective.
"May I ask the Empress Dowager, was the baby squirrel active and making frequent noises before?"
I asked the Empress Dowager seriously. Don't be fooled by my serious expression, this is all nonsense because you, Empress Dowager, personally told me about it! Wasn't it because it was not moving or making noise that you asked me to take a look? It's just like fortune-telling.
"Oh yes! But what's the big deal!"
The Empress Dowager hastily agreed without giving much thought to it, and others didn't notice anything amiss either, only marveling at my medical skills.
"People have seven emotions and six desires, and dogs naturally have them too! A few days ago, the dog's spring desire arose and it became joyful and active. But now it has transitioned from expressing its spring desire to feeling heartbroken in spring."
Heartache is caused by melancholy. Worry harms the spleen, melancholy harms the liver. Disharmony between the liver and spleen leads to a deficiency in vital energy, which results in loss of appetite. Prolonged deficiency leads to physical weakness, and it is only natural for one to feel lethargic and inactive.
I gently stroked the bundle of fluff in my arms while quickly explaining to the Empress. At first, she wasn't fully convinced, but as she listened more, she found it more and more reasonable.
"So, that's how it is! I've been raising this bundle of fluff for nearly half a year, and I never expected that now she's all grown up and wants to find a daughter-in-law! Hahaha..."
With that, the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine exchanged a smile.
"You little girl, you really have a trick!" They had just talked to the Queen Mother about not being proficient in medical skills, but now they were speaking confidently. This little girl is just too modest! Being too humble is not good!"
Empress Xiao joked and pointed at me.
I lowered my head and acted shy, repeatedly saying, "I dare not!"
"Now that you have found the root cause of the illness, how do you think it should be treated? Just so you know, I can't find a dog of this breed anywhere at the moment. You should think about it and prescribe a good remedy for it!"
After the Empress Dowager had a hearty laugh, she urged me to prescribe medicine for the illness.
Prescribe medicine soup for the dog? I dare not do that, even if it is truly tailored to the symptoms, who can guarantee that the dog will drink it! It would be better to prescribe a bone soup!
I turned my eyes and then said, "The prescription is not important after all, because in the end it is all caused by the word 'emotion'. The heart disease still needs the medicine of the heart."
What's important is this medicine starter. If the medicine starter is right, Ruguan'er's illness will improve by about seventy to eighty percent. It's just that this medicine starter, it's a bit difficult!"
I just bought a riddle, and then I heard the empress dowager interrupt, saying, "You just go ahead and say it! As for whether to do it or not, I will consider it myself!"
"This requires a mother dog barking madly, in order to make this fluff clear its blocked energy and relieve its stagnation."
I haven't finished yet, but the Empress Dowager interrupted and said, "That's not difficult to do."
"Your Majesty, if a real dog is used, it may frighten the fluffball and hinder the proper release of energy. Therefore, we should use a person imitating a dog's bark instead, that's the first thing."
I put down the cotton ball and walked around before continuing, "This illness cannot be procrastinated. The cotton ball has been silent for ten days due to obstructed vital energy. If it is not treated in time, by tomorrow, even Hua Tuo reincarnated will have no power to bring him back to life!"
“那依你看，想怎么办?”
太后说罢，一屋子的人便一齐看向我。
“找一年轻女子学狗叫，引发绒团心气浮动，中络贯通，方可奏效。”
I paced back and forth, looking at the Empress Dowager with a serious expression.
"Then you take a look, who among the people in this room would be suitable! The Empress and Concubine Xue are too old, and Concubine Xue's identity is not appropriate here. You can choose from the others!"
The empress dowager is indeed the winner of the last competition in the palace. She can tell what I'm thinking just by listening. I didn't intend to keep it from her, and I am grateful for her kind reminder that Xuefei cannot be touched.
I walked past Xuefei and leaned down, saying, "Please be kind, Your Majesty, and let me borrow Liuli for a while."
Xue Fei, although reluctant, looked at the empress's gaze and reluctantly motioned for Luli to go over.
After all, being able to cure the beloved pet dog and also being able to suppress the arrogant Xue Fei by the way, and furthermore buying me a favor, it's a win-win situation.
After all, I am the "miracle doctor" who can cure strange illnesses. With such a triple benefit, how could the empress dowager refuse!
I stood in the center of the room with a bitter expression on my face, looking at Liuli triumphantly and said, "Why don't you call out a few times first, let me listen!"
Dunli had a disappointed expression on her face and looked at Xuefei. Xuefei couldn't bear it and just didn't look at her.
She could only bow her head with red eyes and started barking, "Woof woof woof..."
"No, no, you have to be happier and bark louder to infect Rongtuan! You have a good vocal tone, it sounds like a Chihuahua! Try harder!"
As I spoke, I patted her shoulder, encouraging her. No one else could tell, but I could hear the clear anger in Liuli's teeth grinding when she heard the word "Chihuahua". Suddenly, with a loud "woof", it startled me.
I patted my chest and hurriedly praised, "Good job!"
Then I pulled Yunyi to hide behind the screen while holding a plush toy. Yunyi whispered, "Xiaoliqian, does your trick really work?"
"It's not working. I'll have to rely on Yunyi brother later!"
I leaned over and blinked at Yunyi playfully.
"Xiao Liqian, you dare to mess with the god of misfortune! Don't deceive me!"
Yunyi suddenly felt uneasy and grabbed my sleeve nervously.
"Don't call, use this!"
Fearing suspicions from outside, I handed it to Yunyi and hurried out to instruct Luli to bark.
