At this point, Basil no longer had any excuse to refuse, and he was secretly wary of the girl: "Miss Wen, please ask."
Wen Xinya said seriously, "When I took Aunt Ning's pulse before, I felt that she had some sepsis. Septicemia is caused by excessive blood and qi, which is a sign of miscarriage. But the pulse you diagnosed said that Aunt Ning had blood deficiency. Why is that?"
Master Luo Le couldn't help but smile and said, "Your diagnosis is not wrong. Madam Wen must have taken some nourishing food before, but her body is too weak to be nourished. Excessive nourishment can't be absorbed by the body, which can easily cause excessive blood and qi, and cause blood poisoning. But the root cause is still due to blood deficiency."
Wen Xinya suddenly realized: "So that's how it is!"
Master Basil smiled and nodded: "Miss Wen has such a pulse at such a young age, which is very remarkable."
Wen Xinya was a little embarrassed by such a compliment, and after a while she asked again: "Master Luo Le, is the pulse absolute? For example, are the symptoms of slippery pulse all caused by pregnancy? Are there any external factors affecting it?"
As soon as Wen Xinya finished asking the question, Ning Shuqian's hands on her knees suddenly tightened, and her ten fingers clenched tightly.
Why did Wen Xinya ask Master Luo Le this question in public? What was she up to? Was she trying to expose her pregnancy in public? No... Impossible, Master Luo Le had already been bought out by her, and it was impossible for Wen Xinya to use Master Luo Le to expose her on the spot.
Thinking of this, she felt a little relieved.
At this moment, every hair on Xia Ruya's body stood up. If she was not sure that Master Basil had already been bribed by Ning Shuqian, she would have been unable to remain calm.
What exactly did Wen Xinya want to do? Why did she ask such a question on the spot
However, Mr. Wen's eyes flashed, and he looked at Wen Wenya with an obscure gaze, with a complicated meaning, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Master Luo Le frowned slightly, feeling that the girl in front of him was setting a trap for him by asking him such shallow knowledge about pulse. However, he had to answer: "The pulse is not absolute, it is just a process of diagnosing the disease. A truly experienced Chinese medicine practitioner will understand the patient's physical condition by observing, smelling, asking and combining it with the pulse to diagnose the disease."
Wen Xinya suddenly realized: "No wonder I couldn't completely diagnose Aunt Ning's slippery pulse when I took her pulse before. It turns out that it also depends on the person's physical condition."
The sentence that the slippery pulse cannot be fully diagnosed made Ning Shuqian's scalp tingle.
Master Luo Le said, "This is because the previous month was too shallow. Second, Madam Wen suffers from blood deficiency, so her pulse is very weak. Third, Madam Wen suffers from blood failure, so her pulse is disordered. Fourth, Miss Wen does not know much about pulses and lacks experience."
Wen Xinya nodded, indicating that she had learned something, and then continued, "You haven't answered me yet. Are all slippery pulses a symptom of pregnancy?"
Master Luo Le took a deep breath, glanced at Xia Ruya with a cryptic look, and then said, "That's not the case. For example, phlegm and fluid retention, food stagnation, and excess heat. Anemia, rheumatism, late stage of acute infection and fever, acute and chronic gastroenteritis, and ascites due to liver cirrhosis can all be seen with slippery pulses."
Wen Xinya's eyes lit up, and she continued to ask, "Excessive consumption of tonic foods can cause imbalance of Qi, blood, and body defense, and can also cause slippery pulses?"
Master Basil felt like he was being tricked. This girl was so scheming that she went around in circles, first leading him to say that Ning Shuqian had taken tonic substances before, which caused excessive blood and qi. Her ultimate goal was to question Ning Shuqian's slippery pulse.
Ning Shuqian held the breath in her chest and couldn't let it out. Her ten clenched fingers were stiff and trembling. Wen Wenya brought up Master Basil's words just to take the opportunity to make Old Man Wen doubt her pregnancy.
Xia Ruya had never expected that Wen Xinya was so cunning and had dug a trap to lure Master Basil into it step by step. Old Master Wen had always been shrewd, and her words were well-reasoned and made Old Master Wen think twice.
She wanted to use Master Basil to dispel Mr. Wen's suspicion of Ning Shuqian.
However, Wen Xinya took advantage of the situation and used Master Basil to draw out Mr. Wen's doubts about Ning Shuqian.
Old Master Wen's eyes became ambiguous. He swept his gaze over Ning Shuqian, not missing the fleeting strange look on her face, and then looked at Wen Xinya. Her eyes were bright as she looked at Master Basil, waiting for Master Basil's answer. Finally, his eyes fixed on Master Basil.
Basil felt a slight chill on his back, then he calmed down and said, "There are such examples."
Wen Xinya then asked, "Is the pulse image of the slippery pulse caused by the imbalance of Qi, blood, Ying and Wei disorder disorderly and extremely weak, like slippery but not slippery, like beads but not beads, very similar to the image of septicemia, which can easily lead to inexperienced Chinese medicine doctors misdiagnosing pregnancy pulse?"
Wen Xinya's words were clear in purpose, shocking everyone present.
Ning Shuqian's breathing suddenly stopped, and she felt suffocated, with hatred tangled in her mind.
Xia Ruya clenched her hands into fists suddenly, and a sinister look flashed across her wet eyes.
A strange look flashed across Mr. Wen's eyes, and the hard lines on his lips seemed even more ruthless and cruel.
Master Basil was in a dilemma at this moment. It was not right to answer, and it was not right not to answer. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Wen Xinya's eyes moved quickly and she asked, "Master Basil, is that so?"
Master Luo Le nodded with difficulty: "It is true, but an experienced Chinese medicine practitioner would not make such a mistake. Take Madam Wen's pulse for example! Her pulse is extremely difficult to diagnose. Many experienced Chinese medicine practitioners will also make some mistakes to a greater or lesser extent."
What this means is that Wen Xinya has no experience in taking pulses, so she cannot make a clear diagnosis of Ning Shuqian's pulse.
Wen Xinya high-fived, with a childish joy on her face: "To be honest... Mr. Du gave me some pointers on pulse before, but I only learned a little bit, so I only have a vague understanding. Aunt Ning's pulse has troubled me for a long time, but I am quite ashamed and dare not ask Mr. Du directly. Thank you Master Luo Le for clearing up my doubts."
He was actually being tricked by an underage girl and being led by the nose. Luo Le looked at Wen Wenya with a hint of sharpness in his eyes. After a while, he said, "Miss Wen, you are too polite. This is just the simplest knowledge of pulse. It is recorded in any Chinese medicine book about pulse."
The implication is that she asked the question knowing the answer and had ulterior motives.
Wen Xinya smiled and replied, "I don't have much wisdom in pulse imaging. I have read some books on pulse imaging, but most of these books are obscure and difficult to understand. Pulse imaging is used to diagnose diseases. I dare not have any doubts or negligence. I am sorry to make Master Luo laugh."
Master Basil was speechless after hearing her neither soft nor hard words. If everyone could understand medicine by reading a few medical books, then everyone could learn Chinese medicine, right
