Chapter 197 Ji Ping Wants to Kill Cao Cao? Which Medical School Was the Best at the End of the Han D
In a secluded palace
"Is this...is this...okay?"
Fu Shou tidied her clothes, retied her long, black hair, and put on the phoenix crown that had been placed to the side.
"Next time, you should wear the phoenix coronet."
"Don't overthink it. What I mean is, picking them back and forth is too much trouble."
The understanding Su Yu even offered an explanation to prevent Fu Shou from misunderstanding his meaning.
Fu Shou rolled her eyes at Su Yu.
The next instant, she realized that the look in her eyes was rather ambiguous, and her gaze turned into one of anger.
But from any angle, this so-called angry gaze seems somewhat weak and lacking in energy.
after all.
Fu Shou made quite a commotion just now.
Su Yu didn't feel that she was as grief-stricken as she had been last time.
In fact, this time it could be said that they were quite dedicated.
Who knows what will happen next time?
……
at the same time
Sikong Mansion
Lady Bian presented the item to Cao Cao as if it were a precious treasure:
"My lord, I heard that Physician Ji Ping, who has treated many high-ranking officials, has recently come to Xuchang."
"My husband has been suffering from headaches for many years. Why not take this opportunity to see Dr. Ji Ping?"
Upon hearing Lady Bian's words, Cao Cao also became interested.
A person's name, the shadow of a tree.
In later generations, when discussing medical practices during the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, those familiar with this history will surely recall the names Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing.
But in the Han Dynasty, Ji Ping was far more famous than Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing.
It's not that Ji Ping's medical skills are necessarily better than those of Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing.
Rather, Ji Ping's resume is impressive, and he holds a formal position within the government.
He was both a court physician and qualified to travel the world.
This qualification was specially granted by Emperor Ling of Han when he first ascended the throne.
In later generations, this would be equivalent to being a top figure in the medical field.
When such a great physician arrived in Xuchang, not only Lady Bian, but even Cao Cao had to treat him with great respect.
after all.
Although Su Yu had a "secret technique" to help Cao Cao quickly cure his headaches whenever he suffered from them.
But that method only treats the symptoms, not the root cause.
Cao Cao would be quite happy if his headaches could be cured!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao's gaze towards Lady Bian became even more affectionate.
The position of the principal wife, Madam Ding, was unshakeable.
But among all the concubines, Lady Bian was definitely the one who won Cao Cao's heart the most.
In addition, she bore Cao Cao three sons: Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi.
As long as Madam Bian doesn't offend Madam Ding and get herself into trouble with her.
Within the Sikong Mansion, thanks to Cao Cao's favor, Lady Bian could still act arrogantly and domineeringly.
Seeing that Cao Cao was interested, Lady Bian pressed her advantage and invited Ji Ping to her residence as a guest.
Cao Cao naturally agreed to the request and entrusted the matter to Lady Bian.
……
In order to accumulate wealth for her sons, Lady Bian absolutely could not afford to lose Cao Cao's favor.
She handled the matter swiftly and efficiently.
The next morning, before going to court, Ji Ping carried his medicine box into the Sikong Mansion.
Ji Ping is actually over fifty years old.
But thanks to his good maintenance, he looks to be no more than in his early forties and is in very good spirits.
Upon seeing Cao Cao, who was dressed in the robes of a high-ranking official, Ji Ping bowed and said:
"My name is Ji Ping, and I pay my respects to Minister Cao."
"No need for formalities, Dr. Ji."
"My wife should have already told you about Mr. Cao's headache symptoms, right?"
"I wonder if the divine physician is confident in completely curing this headache?"
Ji Ping laughed:
"When I was traveling around, I also treated several patients with headaches."
"Their symptoms are even more severe than Cao Sikong's."
"Once it flares up, the pain can be so intense that you faint."
"But under my care, their headaches have stopped recurring."
Cao Cao nodded repeatedly, full of anticipation for Ji Ping's medical skills.
Although Ji Ping did not explicitly state in his words that he had cured his headaches at their root.
But in Cao Cao's view, the fact that the headaches would not recur was essentially the same as being completely cured.
It seems that Yoshihira really is a miracle doctor!
He could even cure headaches that many doctors couldn't treat!
"Does Physician Ji intend to treat me now, or wait until I finish court?"
Cao Cao asked Ji Ping.
There was still about an hour before the court session.
In later times, the exact time for attending court would be roughly equivalent to 8:30 AM.
Don't ask why it's so late. It was Su Yu's suggestion. Stop with that hellish 5 AM morning court session!
Why get up so early?
It's not like high school students rushing to early morning reading sessions.
8:30 PM was the absolute minimum time that the Han court officials were willing to accept.
Any later and it'll be almost noon; can that still be called an early morning court session?
You, Su Ziyi, party all night long, yet you can't get up in the morning and blame the early court session on it?
Su Yu was speechless!
You old folks, your health isn't what it used to be. You can't keep going at night anymore, so you go to bed early.
I'm in great health, how could I be like you?
Before eleven or twelve o'clock, the women in the mansion were really unwilling for Su to fall asleep peacefully.
Of course, even so, Su Yu was a regular latecomer to the morning court session.
He would miss it every few days, but he would attend the grand court assembly which was held every ten days or so.
Now that they've been assassinated, they have a reason not to attend the grand court assembly.
At this moment, thanks to the fact that the morning court session is still an hour away.
Ji Ping's eyes darted around, and he said to Cao Cao:
"Today's treatment can be completed in half an hour."
"Why doesn't Minister Cao wait until he's finished before going to the morning court?"
Cao Cao thought about it and realized that it made perfect sense.
If his headache suddenly flares up during the morning court session, he won't have time to find the plump widow from Xujia Village to give him emergency treatment.
It would be better to let Ji Ping treat him now, so we can test his medical skills.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao laughed and said:
"In that case, I will trouble Physician Ji."
Ji Ping nodded and took out a series of tools from his medicine box.
"The tools are so well prepared, no wonder you are Doctor Ji."
Lady Bian walked up from behind Cao Cao, also filled with emotion.
"Madam, when we treat Cao Sikong later, please support him (to prevent him from running away)."
Madam Bian nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
As the one who brought Ji Ping into the household, Lady Bian was naturally qualified to continue participating in the subsequent events.
Otherwise, given her status as a mere concubine, she would have to obediently step aside whenever Madam Ding gave the order.
Cao Cao had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
Ji Ping took out a rope. What was he going to do?
Do you have to tie someone up to treat headaches?
Ji Ping explained without batting an eye:
"Master Cao, please don't misunderstand. You may struggle due to pain during the treatment later."
"This rope is for better treatment results."
Lady Bian also said:
"My lord, in order to cure your headache, a short period of patience is necessary!"
Cao Cao nodded suspiciously.
A hint of joy appeared in Ji Ping's eyes.
Just as he was about to continue forward.
Dian Wei suddenly walked out of the courtyard, bringing with him an old man who looked a few years older than Ji Ping.
