Silent Lover 2 (Tanhua) - Chap 14
Chapter 14 Incurable Diseases
Song Liqing sat quietly by the railing, watching the back of his hand.
He felt anxious, because it had been at least a quarter of an hour since he returned to the Qilin mansion from outside the palace, and the minor scrape injury hadn’t stopped bleeding and solidified.
Looking at the wound that was still oozing blood, Song Liqing remembered that he had also lost a lot of blood after having rough intercourse with Jun Qiyu. He didn’t think much about it at the time, thinking it was just that Jun Qiyu’s handle was too big…
Although my body and bones are not strong, it is still healthy. When will my skin break out and bleed when I touch it, and the bleeding won’t stop?
Is this really a disease as Prince Loulan said?
Song Liqing saw that it was still early and Jun Qiyu hadn’t left the court yet, so he set off for the imperial hospital.
After entering the palace, no one stopped him wherever he went. At most, the guards who didn’t know him questioned him and let him go. This was probably the only benefit brought to him by his status as the crown princess.
Song Liqing was not very familiar with Taiyuan Hospital, so after searching for a long time, he finally found someone he was familiar with at the table under the window.
“Physician Qi…Physician Qi!”
Song Liqing didn’t want to disturb the other imperial physicians who were dispensing and writing prescriptions with loud voices, so he yelled twice.
Qi Miao raised his head in a daze, and when he saw Song Liqing outside the window, his dull eyes instantly became bright.
“Little crying bag!”
He exclaimed, immediately got up and ran out, grabbed Song Liqing and shook happily.
“Why do you have time to visit me in Taitai Hospital? I was thinking about when I would go to Qilin Mansion to see you, but I was afraid that you would not see me.”
Song Liqing was weak and dizzy after being shaken a few times.
Seeing that his face was pale and his eyes were black and blue, Qi Miao hurriedly stopped his excitement.
“What’s wrong with you? Are you sick? I’ll give you a pulse.”
As Qi Miao said, he was about to hold Song Liqing’s hand, but Song Liqing dodged subconsciously, Qi Miao was stunned for a moment, and then retracted in a low voice.
“I’m sorry, I bumped into you, I forgot that you are now, um, the prince’s man.”
“It’s okay.” Song Liqing looked around and said, “I came to see you, but… is there a quieter place?”
“Okay, you come with me.”
Qi Miao led him through two corridors to the garden of the Imperial Hospital. This place is secluded and quiet, with lush plants on the rockery, and there is no one else except a cleaning lady.
Song Liqing and Qi Miao sat face to face.
“Emperor… Crown Princess.” Qi Miao scratched his head, “I’m not used to calling you that.”
“Just call me by name.”
“Little crying bag?”
Qi Miao made a clumsy joke, but Song Liqing felt relaxed and laughed.
Song Liqing jokingly said: “Now you are suave and suave, and you are the youngest imperial doctor in the imperial hospital. You have a bright future. I can’t call you an idiot.”
“It’s okay, my grandpa and my master scolded me for my poor brain, otherwise I wouldn’t be unable to study and changed to medicine. This is because my grandpa entrusted the relationship to worship under the doctor Bian. The master has always asked me to put people to death. Don’t say you learned it from him, haha!”
Qi Miao laughed, his round eyes narrowed a bit, and his short thick eyebrows were bent downward, making him look even more simple and honest.
“Let me take your pulse…”
“good.”
Qi Miao grabbed his wrist and listened carefully to his pulse.
Qi Miao is one year older than Song Liqing. He is the grandson of the old Shangshu. He went to the academy with him. He used to bully Song Liqing and rob him of his meals because of his height. Later, he was beaten by Jun Qiyu and went to the imperial court to sue. Jun Qiyu got a board on his butt, and asked Song Liqing to go to the latrine to secretly rub medicine on his butt.
The two nicknames “little crying bag” and “silly big man” were given by Jun Qiyu back then, saying that Song Liqing was always crying.
Later, when people grew up and became sensible, the relationship between the two became closer.
Song Liqing suddenly felt that the world was impermanent, the people who bullied him in the past had let go of his suspicions, and the people who protected him were enemies.
Thinking of this, Song Liqing’s eyes dimmed.
After a while, Qi Miao let go of his fingers with a relaxed expression.
“It’s because of a bit of cold, overwork, and mental fatigue. You should rest well. I’ll go back and prescribe the prescription. I’ll pick up the medicine and send it to Qilin Mansion myself.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Song Liqing hesitated for a while, but decided to ask Qi Miao.
“Physician Qi, I’m looking for you today, not because of wind and cold… It’s another matter, you see.”
Song Liqing pointed to the scratch on the back of the hand. It had been an hour or two, but the wound had dried up and condensed a little, and no more blood oozing.
“I was just scratched by the Yahu, and the blood didn’t stop… What kind of disease is this?”
“The blood doesn’t stop…” Qi Miao frowned, “Are there any other symptoms? Ordinary blood diseases are not trivial, you have to tell me everything abnormal.”
Song Liqing was embarrassed to speak.
“And…and that…after intercourse, there is always blood…”
Song Liqing intermittently described the abnormal discomfort he had experienced recently, detailing everything.
After hearing this, Qi Miao took a breath and his expression became serious.
“Actually, there are not many diseases that do not coagulate the blood, but they should not be underestimated. Listening to what you say, it seems…it seems to be…”
Song Liqing saw him faltering, and smiled at him.
“You don’t have to worry, you deliberately kept it from me.”
“Blood exhaustion.”
Qi Miao spat out these four words.
“Blood exhaustion?” Song Liqing nodded, “I’ve never heard of it.”
“I haven’t seen it much, and I only heard it from Master once. He said that he couldn’t explain the ins and outs of the disease, and there was no medical theory at all. People just became weaker and weaker, and they would bleed if they accidentally bumped into it.” Not only that, but in the end the blood ran out and… died.”
When Qi Miao was speaking, he secretly looked at Song Liqing’s gradually stagnant expression.
Song Liqing’s lips parted and asked: “Then… is there a way to heal it?”
“Medical Stone Acupuncture…I’m afraid there is no way, unless there is some kind of magic medicine, or a miracle…”
Qi Miao stuttered even more when speaking, and some cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Song Liqing forced a bleak smile and said, “So it’s an incurable disease.”
“No, no, master said, he also heard that patients with blood exhaustion will heal themselves, don’t worry too much…”
“One in a million, right?”
Qi Miao didn’t answer, Song Liqing knew that he didn’t want to lie to himself.
Song Liqing felt as if a bell had been rung in his heart, and his mind was stunned.
Even if he pretended to be calm, he couldn’t hide the slight trembling of his fingers.
For a while, Song Liqing couldn’t think.
He was still in his prime, how could he suffer from such a disease? He was just named on the gold list, newly married, he hadn’t had time to see what Jingguo Tianxia looked like, and he hadn’t had time to win back Jun Qiyu’s heart. He thought that their lives still had a long, long way to go hand in hand.
If he died, what would happen to his parents who worked so hard to raise him?
Song Liqing felt as if there was a dark cloud weighing on his heart, and his name had already been written on the book of life and death of King Yan.
He wasn’t afraid of death at all, but Jun Qiyu didn’t love him until he was so afraid…
The author has something to say:
Thrombocytopenia was a terminal illness in ancient times.
