Congenital weakness ans the fetus is already deficient in the womb due to various reasons, and the root of this deficiency in Tang Er stems from his parents.
Tang Zhengquan’s essence was unstable and weak, making it difficult to have a son; it was fate. Being able to have two children was thanks to accumulated rit over generations, but fate would not enhance his essence. When both parents were weak, it was odd that an embryo could be strong.
Thus, after Mrs. Tang beca pregnant, she stayed in bed for three months to preserve the pregnancy. In fact, it was more than that; this pregnancy was particularly delicate and weak, mostly preserved by care, barely making it to eight months before giving birth, and then sustained with dicine up to the age of fifteen.
But the weakness still persisted.
Tang Zhengquan was stunned; does weak essence an he is inadequate?
Doctor Sun coughed, his face bright red, "Ancestor, you’re here to diagnose, not to make enemies."
"It wasn’t easy for you and your wife to have children, right?" Qin Liuxi said, then looked at the First Young Master, Tang Xuan, "Although your constitution wasn’t as deficient as the Second Young Master’s, you still had many illnesses in childhood. You beca healthy gradually after body refining, due to guidance from a good teacher?"
Tang Xuan nodded instinctively.
Tang Zhengquan and Mrs. Tang exchanged a glance; indeed, they waited five years after marriage before having their eldest son, rejoicing at the ti. He was frail and sickly as a child, and at age seven they received advice from a renowned doctor, and found a master to teach him martial arts and fitness, which improved his health over ti.
Even after practicing martial arts, Tang Xuan remained thin and frail, appearing like a scholar who couldn’t lift or carry anything.
"Ten years after the First Young Master, you had the second one. Truth be told, given your wife’s constitution and your weak essence, it wasn’t suitable for childbearing. Bearing a full-term fetus is challenging, nurturing it afterward is even harder. The fact that the child survived today is due to the Tang family’s virtuous deeds and ancestral protection, plus importantly, your wealth from the mine."
Everyone: "?"
Qin Liuxi smiled at Tang Tianyou, "Without the mine’s wealth yielding precious herbs to sustain your life, you wouldn’t have made it from the womb."
Poor families can’t afford prenatal care. If they happen to deliver the offspring, it’s weak, lacking funds, how can it survive?
Tang Tianyou’s na indeed benefits from divine protection.
"Are you saying my few children are due to my fault?" Tang Zhengquan asked, flushed.
Qin Liuxi replied, "How many children do you have? Are you unaware? The age gap between them is extensive; you can’t entirely bla your wife. Don’t you have concubines? Has any got pregnant?"
Tang Zhengquan flushed deeply; of course, he had concubines, whether for the Imperial Family’s watchful eyes or other reasons, he couldn’t spend life monogamously. His wife selected decent, honest ones, yet none were pregnant.
"Your kidney Qi is inadequate; you lack vigor and strength in intimate matters, hence weak essence..."
Cough, cough, cough.
Doctor Sun’s loud cough abruptly cut off Qin Liuxi’s assessnt.
Ancestor, stop being brutally honest; you’ve socially embarrassed everyone!
Everyone present, including Lord and Mrs. Tang, Tang Xuan and his spouse, turned red-faced; Young Madam Tang hung her head shyly.
"Wife, prepare hot soup and als to host the doctor later," Tang Xuan excused his blushing wife.
Young Madam Tang agreed gently and hastened away, her mind frazzled by the doctor’s scandalous revelations about her in-laws.
Mrs. Tang was equally embarrassed, biting her lip softly but persisting as she was anxious about her child’s illness.
Tang Zhengquan, seasoned in handling affairs, said, "Junior Temple Master, let’s examine my son? I’m an old bone,"
After all, at his age, it’s unlikely Mrs. Tang would conceive again; weak remains weak.
Qin Liuxi said, "I’m already examining; I’m just telling you there’s a reason for the Second Young Master’s frailty, due to parental deficiency."
Okay, we know now, let’s stop.
Qin Liuxi asked Tang Er to open his mouth to check his tongue, conducting a comprehensive examination, said, "You’re suffering dual deficiencies: blood and Qi, causing palpitation and fright. The heart naturally has insufficient blood supply, plus you have a cold spleen, poor digestion, liver damage affects blood-fluid circulation. Shortness of breath in crowded places arises from oppressed Qi and palpitations; it reflexively induces rapid breathing."
"Brilliant!" Doctor Sun clapped with excitent, "Why hadn’t I thought of that? How to treat?"
"Blood and Qi need nourishnt," Qin Liuxi responded. "Blood is the essence and vitality; when abundant, the ridians supply internal organs. This proper function harmonizes yin and yang, steadily enhancing strength."
Tang Zhengquan’s eyes sparkled: "Does this an using blood supplents, what are the needed herbs? I’ll have plenty prepared."
"If only it was that simple, many doctors tried supplents already. Nourishing blood isn’t just about supplents; with his deficiency, not excessive replenishnt, supplenting excessively rather burdens his body. That’s called deficiency not accepting nourishnt." Qin Liuxi shook her head, "Nourishing blood and Qi requires steady progression, primarily with herbal decoctions, supplented with dietary therapy, coupled with dicinal baths for strengthening musculoskeletal health."
"Will this completely heal?"
Qin Liuxi looked at Tang Er, "Complete healing isn’t possible; constitution firmly established, provided by parents."
Everyone felt slightly disappointed.
"He may not heal fully but won’t gasp from rely sitting or be breathless in crowds; he can walk and run, yet not as healthy as normal individuals—his inherent frailty remains." Qin Liuxi said calmly, "Following my regin, he’ll live beyond old age, long enough to bury parents without issue; the rest depends on fate."
Everyone brightened; at least twenty or thirty years more.
The critical part is running; this is a luxury wish when even quick steps cause discomfort. If the regin enables running, it’s indeed a luxury.
"Please prescribe for my son," Tang Zhengquan bowed in gratitude.
Qin Liuxi nodded, "I’ll first administer acupuncture to unblock Qi chanism stagnation, allowing free flow."
"May I assist?" Doctor Sun seizes learning opportunity.
Qin Liuxi glanced at him with a mysterious smile, "Sure, observe and later you’ll administer the acupuncture."
After all, she won’t stay long in the northwest, Doctor Sun is Tang Er’s attending, suitable for this task.
