Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 1476 Mother's Helplessness

With a status like Princess Dachang, she will definitely be proficient in the capital's information. As Dong Sui's cousin, Jiang Jingqiu naturally knows it.

However, Jiang Jingqiu was unknown in the capital, and the eldest princess did not notice anything extraordinary about her. Now she suddenly said that she might be able to help Princess Zhenli, and the eldest princess would not believe it easily.

But Dong Sui was very popular, very popular among the ladies of the capital, and was well-known for her reputation. The eldest princess would rather take risks with the people she recommended.

However, to be on the safe side, she still asked cautiously: "Miss Jiang, what do you think is going on with Zhenli?"

Jiang Jingqiu saluted calmly: "Reporting to the princess, the common girls dare not lie now. We still need to talk to the princess's doctor before we can be sure."

The eldest princess was not annoyed by Jiang Jingqiu's tactful refusal. Instead, she felt that Jiang Jingqiu was a cautious person, which gave her some trust in Jiang Jingqiu.

Hearing this, the eldest princess signaled to the female officer, who immediately walked to Jiang Jingqiu and said respectfully: "Girl, please come with me."

Jiang Jingqiu nodded, and then went to find Baili Wuxiang with the female officer.

The eldest princess looked at Dong Sui: "I'm sorry to trouble Princess Xingyang, but I apologize for the poor hospitality."

Dong Sui's smile was very light. This attitude would not make people think that she was disrespectful to the eldest princess, nor would it make people think that she did not take Princess Zhenli's situation seriously.

Her voice was very gentle, as comfortable as the spring breeze: "What did His Highness say? I didn't even send a greeting card to the door. It's because I didn't think carefully. How can I say that Your Highness is treating you lightly?"

The eldest princess nodded slightly: "I would like to say thank you on behalf of Zhenli. I am very pleased and touched that you can come to see her at this time."

Lu Mingyu patted her hand: "Sister, don't worry, maybe Miss Jiang will be able to find a solution after talking to my master."

Dong Sui sat quietly and did not speak again.

Several people sat together, waiting for the outcome of the discussion between Jiang Jingqiu and Baili Wuxiang.

In the pharmacy, Jiang Jingqiu was very sure: "Sir, the princess is really sick."

Baili Wuxiang asked: "Why are you so sure?"

Jiang Jingqiu explained: "Sir, this disease is unique to postpartum women. Many postpartum women will start to have some symptoms about half a month after giving birth."

"For example, mental illness, loss of appetite, lethargy, worry, and in severe cases, thoughts of self-mutilation and suicide."

"This disease will be passed from mother to daughter. I learned that the eldest princess once had such symptoms, which means that there is a possibility that the eldest princess will pass it to her and she will be born with the disease."

Baili Wuxiang rubbed his eyebrows: "If it was depression, I would have given her medicine to soothe the liver and regulate qi in advance, but not only did it have no effect, it seemed to be getting worse."

Jiang Jingqiu told him: "When women are pregnant, their bodies will undergo great changes in order to support the child in their belly."

"But after giving birth, the body makes some changes in order to recover as quickly as possible, but the damage caused by childbirth cannot be recovered overnight."

"Then the body can't bear it, which affects the mood. This is the cause of maternal illness. So it is not a psychological factor, nor is it that the mother suddenly cannot adapt."

"It's a real disease, so sir, this is different from ordinary depression. When treating it, you need to be more careful and cautious than depression."

"There are several treatments for common depression, such as the common methods of soothing the liver and relieving depression, replenishing yang and relieving depression, benefiting the lungs and treating the liver, regulating qi and neutralizing the blood, and tonifying the kidneys and soothing the liver, etc."

Baili Wuxiang interrupted her: "You look like a layman, and you can't explain anything at all." Jiang Jingqiu was not annoyed, and just said: "Sir, I am trying my best to make it clear to you."

Baili Wuxiang told her: "I roughly understand what you mean. What you want to say is that general depression is caused by emotions, while this disease in pregnant women is caused by physical factors."

"So when treating the princess, we can't just focus on regulating the Qi. It's also important to regulate the body. We have to take a two-pronged approach, right?"

Jiang Jingqiu nodded quickly: "Sir, that's what I mean."

Baili Wuxiang touched his chin: "Although you failed to propose a solution, your words gave me inspiration."

"Actually, I have seen many situations like this. The most serious one was when a mother drowned her child with her own hands. Before she could figure out what happened, the mother was beaten to death by her mother-in-law and her husband. I couldn't figure it out. No chance."

"Listening to what you said, the mother may also be seriously ill, but no one has paid attention to these things. As a result, there are no previous cases to refer to in the Qihuang technique."

Jiang Jingqiu was also helpless: "The world has high demands on mothers. If she is really sick, she will probably be harshly criticized, saying that she has not fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother. A trivial matter is not worth moaning about."

"Families with three wives and four concubines will even regard this kind of thing as jealousy between the wives and concubines, saying that they are too busy having children to serve their husbands, but they don't want to fall out of favor."

"Ordinary people, some people think that a woman's temperament changes drastically after she becomes a mother, and they even describe this kind of thing as being pampered and taking advantage of her children to cause trouble."

"... Various rules and regulations restrict a mother from crying, making trouble, being weak, let alone being unhappy. Once she cannot do this, it is the mother's fault."

"Because the world is like this, even if some people really feel that they have a problem, they dare not speak out for fear of being criticized."

"People who are sick don't see doctors, so where do doctors find these cases? So maybe sir, you can take advantage of Princess Zhenli's incident to make the world aware of the existence of this disease, so that you can be less harsh on first-time mothers. .”

Baili Wuxiang flatly refused: "First of all, wealthy people have to be decent. Isn't it a fantasy for you to ask a dignified Jinzhiyuye to let others know that she has such a problem?"

"What's more, even if everyone knows that women may have such problems after giving birth, who will pay attention?"

"Their husbands, or their in-laws? Or the babies who haven't grown up yet."

"At that time, the world will just put another shackles on women. So, don't pay attention to this matter, it will definitely not work."

Jiang Jingqiu did not refute, obviously Shicai's statement was just a suggestion.

In fact, she thinks what Mr. Baili said is quite reasonable. When you meet really good people, even the slightest disturbance will make them worry, and if there are any problems, they will be solved.

But if something bad happens, nothing can help except blind criticism.

Therefore, this disease cannot be widely publicized by doctors alone.

More importantly, the people around them must be good enough so that the disease can be taken seriously.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jingqiu was about to speak when Baili Wuxiang drew up the recipe.

"Try this patch and see if it helps," he said.
