Chapter 1 begins with cupping Empress Zhangsun's back; she has such a great back!
"Ogawa, wake up, wake up right now."
Lin Chuan vaguely heard someone calling him, and then slowly opened his eyes.
I found myself standing outside an ancient building, with artificial hills and flowing water in front of me, connected by long corridors, and towering pavilions.
To his bewilderment, there was a royal guard holding a halberd standing at intervals along the corridor.
"What's going on?"
Looking at the person who woke him up, he was surprised to see that it was a palace maid dressed in ancient costume.
"Did I accidentally stumble upon a period drama filming location, or did I really travel through time?"
Wait, Ogawa! A palace maid!
What the hell? Have I become a eunuch now, or have I transmigrated into a eunuch?
This can't be real, it must be a dream, I need to go back to sleep.
"boom!"
Suddenly, a loud noise rang in Lin Chuan's mind, and he immediately fell into a state of confusion.
A few seconds later, Lin Chuan completely lost control, because he was certain that he had traveled through time.
I was in the Tang Dynasty, in the first year of the Zhenguan era!
He was indeed lucky to become a junior eunuch serving Empress Zhangsun.
Suddenly, Lin Chuan's expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with fear. He disregarded everything else and immediately ran wildly into the distance.
He rushed into the toilet, lifted his robe, and breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Holy crap, thank goodness it's still there!
Lin Chuan's expression was complicated, because he had indeed traveled back to the Tang Dynasty and even become a eunuch under the Inner Palace Attendant.
That's horrible!
Others transmigrate to become great generals or high-ranking officials, but I became a eunuch.
Although there is a system following along, the system is in an unusable state. What does this mean?
Lin Chuan suddenly felt a headache coming on.
He wanted to let things take their course, but he had a relative to consider.
If this goes on for too long, it will definitely be discovered, and then everything will be over.
Therefore, the most important thing now is to find a way to get out of here as soon as possible.
after awhile.
Lin Chuan calmed himself down, came out of the capital's restroom, and planned to continue his shift at the Lizheng Hall.
"What's wrong, Haruko? Why are you in such a panic?"
As Lin Chuan walked along the corridor, he suddenly saw Qingzi running towards him anxiously, and he immediately asked her what was wrong.
"Her Majesty has suddenly fallen ill, and I am on my way to inform the imperial physician."
Lin Chuan's eyes lit up; his opportunity had arrived!
He was a medical student and had studied traditional Chinese medicine.
Now that Empress Zhangsun is unwell, he is determined to take advantage of this opportunity.
Even if the empress cannot be cured, at least it will show that people care about her.
This plan is worthwhile no matter what.
Lin Chuan immediately calmed himself down and walked straight towards the main hall.
……
Inside the main hall, palace maids and eunuchs were busy, their faces showing anxiety and panic.
The Empress is ill; if anything happens, they could all lose their lives.
"Your Majesty, I can save you!"
Lin Chuan stepped forward, bent down, and said.
The palace maids and eunuchs stared at Lin Chuan in shock, unaware that he possessed medical knowledge.
They all gestured for Lin Chuan to leave immediately, as this was no joke.
Lin Chuan ignored him, because he knew this was his only chance to escape the palace.
"Ogawako, come up."
After a moment of silence, a weary voice came from the bed in front.
At this moment, Lin Chuan was overjoyed.
The palace maids and eunuchs beside them frowned nervously, their hearts pounding in their throats.
Lin Chuan followed closely to the bed.
"Splash—"
Lifting the gauze curtain, Empress Zhangsun lay on her side on the bed, her face pale and her expression one of extreme pain.
"This is Guanyinbi; she is truly breathtakingly beautiful!"
At that time, the Tang Dynasty did not have the custom of considering plumpness as beauty, so her figure was considered perfect.
I'm so unwilling to accept this; Li Er got off easy!
"Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell?"
Lin Chuan calmed himself down and asked in a low voice.
"It's probably an abdominal pain caused by catching a cold."
Lin Chuan quickly diagnosed the illness based on Empress Zhangsun's words and the location of her pain.
"Can it be cured?"
At this moment, Empress Zhangsun slowly turned around, and her beauty immediately stunned Lin Chuan.
"It can be cured, it definitely can."
After a long while, Lin Chuan came to his senses and immediately replied.
"Please forgive my disrespect, Your Majesty."
Lin Chuan looked troubled when he said this.
Empress Zhangsun was puzzled by Lin Chuan's meaning.
But she soon understood!
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
In ancient times, imperial physicians often used traditional Chinese medicine decoctions to treat colds caused by wind.
This method is effective, but the results are slow to appear.
Lin Chuan used cupping therapy, a treatment method that originated in the Western Han Dynasty. Although it is rare and few people accept it, it is very effective.
Empress Zhangsun was very surprised after hearing this, and she had a deep memory of Lin Chuan.
She nodded because of the unbearable abdominal pain.
Next, he dismissed the palace maids and eunuchs outside and quickly took off his clothes.
……
"alright."
Soon, Lin Chuan slowly turned around.
At this moment, Empress Zhangsun was already lying on the bed as he instructed, revealing her smooth and fair back.
Lin Chuan stepped forward and took some teacups and burning animal charcoal.
At the same time, Haruko arrived in a hurry with the imperial physician.
"What? A eunuch is treating the Empress?"
"Nonsense!"
Upon learning this, the imperial physician's expression immediately changed drastically. He reprimanded the palace maids and eunuchs and pushed open the door to enter.
He was terrified, after all, the other party was the Empress, yet she was being treated by a eunuch; it was utterly absurd.
If an accident occurs, who will be responsible?
This eunuch must be driven out immediately; it's not too late to act now.
But then, the imperial physician was stunned!
Because he saw that on the couch in the distance, the Empress was not only disheveled, but also had several teacups stuck to her back.
What on earth is going on?!
Instantly, the imperial physician's face twitched uncontrollably, and his heart was filled with turmoil!
"How dare you! What have you done to Her Majesty the Empress?"
He immediately looked at Lin Chuan and shouted at him, his body trembling with anger.
"Haven't you learned cupping therapy?"
Lin Chuan glanced at the imperial physician and replied coldly.
"Do you even know what angle law is?"
Upon hearing this, the imperial physician was first stunned, then utterly shocked.
He had practiced medicine for many years and, although he had heard of this treatment method, he always regarded it as unorthodox and unworthy of learning.
Moreover, this orthodox method has been lost for a long time, and I never expected to see it with my own eyes today!
"You know nothing about medicine, yet you dare to treat the Empress!"
"If anything happens, even beheading you wouldn't be enough to atone for your crime!"
Although the imperial physician was taken aback, he still reprimanded him loudly.
He expressed doubt about the effectiveness of this treatment, fearing it might actually be harmful.
Lin Chuan simply dismissed it with disdain.
Traditional Chinese medicine is indeed profound, but the problem lies with these self-proclaimed orthodox conservatives who refuse to absorb the strengths of other schools of thought.
He worked in isolation, refusing to pass on his medical skills until his death, which led to the loss of many traditional Chinese medicine techniques in later generations.
Lin Chuan then ignored the imperial physician and went directly to the bedside, taking the teacup off Empress Zhangsun's back.
"Your Majesty, how are you feeling?"
After wiping the dirt off the Empress's back, Lin Chuan asked softly.
"Very comfortable."
At first, Empress Zhangsun felt some pain, but now she feels incredibly relaxed.
"You may all step back."
Empress Zhangsun sat up and looked directly at the imperial physician in the distance.
