Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife-Chapter 1502 - 316: Awakened
Chiang Yu thought carefully and felt that An Yiqing’s words made sense. Although he hadn’t interacted much with Nan Tian, he could tell she was a straightforward girl. However, being straightforward sometimes is a good thing, but in the predator-prey environment of the Nan Family, being too straightforward can be deadly. Chiang Yu dared to say that if Old Master Nan hadn’t protected her all these years, Nan Tian could have possibly died in some corner a long time ago.
She can’t continue being so carefree and reckless. Everyone grows up eventually, and wanting to protect important people around you always comes with a price.
Chiang Yu looked up at the serene-looking An Yiqing. This wonderful woman was only twenty; in an ordinary family, she’d be just a student, yet she had taken on so many responsibilities. Such fortitude, not everyone can have. Thus, Nan Tian, being her friend, definitely couldn’t be ordinary either.
Understanding this, Chiang Yu no longer hesitated. Nan Tian’s problem would depend on her own fate!
After deciding on the treatment plan, An Yiqing began to treat Nan Tian’s disordered mind.
Mental disorders in Ancient Medicine are referred to as "Mania." It’s a type of mental disorder caused by emotional internal injuries, dietary irregularities, and constitutional deficiencies, leading to phlegm and Qi stagnation, or phlegm-fire excess, disrupting organ harmony, causing yin-yang imbalance and closing the mind’s portals, creating chaos. Its main location is the heart, closely related to the liver, gallbladder, spleen, and stomach. Mania, characterized by mental depression, indifferent expression, silence, incoherent speech, and tranquility associated with joy, is treated by promoting Qi circulation and relieving constraints; frenzied states, characterized by mental excitement, restlessness, loud disturbance, cursing, destroying objects, and anger, are treated by putting out fire and resolving phlegm to address symptoms.
The name "Mania" is derived from the "Inner Canon," which also provides systematic descriptions of its causes and treatment. Regarding etiology and pathogenesis, "Intimate Questions · Discussion on the Truth" states: "All frenzies belong to fire," indicating that fire pathogen disturbing the mind can trigger the illness.
The reason for Nan Tian’s mental disorder was due to extreme stimulation, or more professionally put, an imbalance of yin and yang, with fire pathogen disturbing the heart.
In modern medicine, mental disorders are mostly treated with medication, with most people needing lifelong medication and facing potential relapses. This is because current medical practices haven’t grasped the root cause of Mania, resulting in recurring illness. However, An Yiqing, through years of diligent guidance from Ye Chenghong and medical writings left by Shennong Shi, has already cured many patients with mental disorders, including Grandma Zhang, who sold noodles in that alley before.
After a week-long treatment, An Yiqing administered over ten sessions of acupuncture and several doses of medicine to Nan Tian. Finally, amidst Nan Tian’s extreme resistance, the treatment concluded.
On the white hospital bed, An Yiqing removed the last Silver Needle, placed a hand on Nan Tian’s pulse for a recheck, and exhaled slowly.
"Miss, how is it?" Zhang Yufeng, standing by, inquired.
An Yiqing nodded, "Completely recovered, now we just wait for her to wake up."
Zhang Yufeng nodded, a hint of worry in her eyes. Given Nan Tian’s current state, would she blame the miss after waking up?
"Don’t worry, Nan Tian is like you — able to distinguish right from wrong." Seeing the concern in Zhang Yufeng’s heart, An Yiqing smiled and patted her on the shoulder to comfort her.
Zhang Yufeng’s face turned red, a bit embarrassed for having her little concerns seen through by An Yiqing.
Just then, Nan Tian, who had been in a coma, suddenly let out a low moan, and her right hand moved slightly.
An Yiqing and Zhang Yufeng quickly turned their heads to look. They saw Nan Tian, covered in bandages, gently move her right hand, slowly lift it then put it back down. After that, her eyes, made ambiguous by injury, fluttered a few times before they slowly opened.
When Nan Tian opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the white ceiling. Her thoughts were scattered; she lightly blinked, ignoring the discomfort on her face, and glanced around.
Upon seeing An Yiqing standing at the bedside, joy suddenly burst in her eyes. She opened her mouth to speak but only emitted a harsh hoarse sound.
"Ah..."
Nan Tian widened her eyes in fear, unable to believe that sound came from her own mouth. She was just about to reach for her throat, but upon seeing her bandaged hands, she paused abruptly.
She stared blankly at her bandaged hands, memories gradually gathering in her mind, and with that, her pupils also tightened.
