Shen Yi Di Nu Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife (神医嫡女）[Book 1]

Her Maternal Grandfather Really is Arrogant!

The Emperor glanced Xuan Tian Hua in approval. He then turned to Feng Yu Heng and continued chatting: "Since you have come to the palace to seek refuge, then accompany Us for a chat. Speaking of, We are very interested in your Hundred Herb Hall. There was word that you brought a dead person back to life?"

Feng Yu Heng though to herself that this Emperor's train of thought was all over the place, but she also understood. She was, after all, an outsider, and she was someone of the Feng family, but Xuan Tian Ming protected her. This Emperor, in the end, still had his own thoughts about her, but could not speak too much about the matters of the court.

Thus, she simply decided to teach the Emperor about the simple differences between "heart death" and "brain death." "Normally, when determining whether a person was dead, first it was checking the pulse at the wrist, then for breathing, then at the carotid artery. But in reality, the most important factor in determining someone's death depended ultimately on the brain."

The Emperor had never heard of this explanation. Even Xuan Tian Ming and Xuan Tian Hua were very curious. The Emperor asked her: "Then how is it determined that someone's brain has died?"

Feng Yu Heng sighed. There were high-tech means and machines to determine brain death. But in this era, it would not be as precise. She pondered for a while then said: "First, you must ensure that that the doctor's medical knowledge has reached a certain degree. Only then can the doctor begin to assess the various conditions of the patient's body. Normally speaking, people in a coma will have no reaction to any stimulus, but this is just the first step in determining brain death. Next is to see if the patient has stopped breathing on their own. Third is to see whether or not the reactions of the brain have disappeared, for example, swallowing, blinking, and the dilation of pupils. Fourth, is at the pulse. Once breathing has stopped, cardiopulmonary resuscitation must be performed on the patient for at least 20 minutes. Only after that point, should the patient not appear to improve can they be considered as having suffered brain death."

The words she had said were already very professional. Even for the three present, who could be said to be the most outstanding people in this era, they could not understand it all. But the Emperor knew how to summarize it all very well "It all relies on the doctor."

Feng Yu Heng nodded, "As a whole, that is the case. That day when I saved the dead person, I had already determined his life signs were still there. Only then did I say that I could bring the dead back to life. But in reality, how could there be such a thing as bringing a dead person back to life. In truth, it was just because he did not die at all."

The Emperor was very interested in the things Feng Yu Heng had said and could not help but remember Mo Bu Fan's extraordinary praise for her. He also remembered the exclusive pills sold at Hundred Herb Hall. He thought to himself, she does not disappoint as a member of the younger generation of the Yao family. Even if she is just a granddaughter, her talent for medicine was not shallow. Moreover, this Feng Yu Heng had been able to have a fortuitous encounter at a young age in the mountains of the Northwest. Her exile from the Feng family, for her, turned out to be a good thing.

"Unfortunately, the imperial physicians do not have this ability." He sighed, "Ever since old man Yao left, We have been afraid to get sick for a long time out of fear that those failures could not treat me properly."

Feng Yu Heng said: "That is father's Emperor's body being healthy. Regardless of whether there are good doctors at your side, not falling ill is better than falling ill." She then thought a little more and came up with an idea. In regards to her desire to expand Hundred Herb Hall's way of thinking, if she could gain the Emperor's support, a national hospital would be more in demand than a private hospital. Thus she added: "A-Heng's medical knowledge came from maternal grandfather and was refined by my Persian eccentric master; however, I want to make use of this for the citizens of Da Shun."

The Emperor was very smart. With Feng Yu Heng having already said this much, how could he not understand that this daughter-in-law was asking for donations.

Thus, he waved his hand: "When everything has been prepared, We will pay for the expansion of your Hundred Herb Hall by a few times. When the time comes, a few more shops can be opened in other provinces."

Feng Yu Heng quickly stood up and knelt: "Daughter-in-law thanks father Emperor on behalf of the citizens of Da Shun."

The Emperor enjoyed this very much. Personally helping Feng Yu Heng up, he prepared to chat a little longer about Hundred Herb Hall with her. At this time, a eunuch came running into the hall from the outside with a folded booklet in his hand: "Reporting to your Majesty, there is a note from Lord Yao in Huang Zhou."

Lord Yao in Huang Zhou... was that not just Yao Xian.

Feng Yu Heng rolled her eyes. Her maternal grandfather really knew how to pick his timings!

The Emperor naturally also thought this way. Slightly snorting, he received the folded booklet. After looking at it for a while, he snorted loudly: "Old man Yao has even become arrogant!"

Feng Yu Heng was very curious about the contents of the note. Seeing the Emperor like this, he did not truly appear angry. Instead, it seemed like two old friends bantering.

Xuan Tian Ming was the most direct, as he moved his wheelchair forward and directly stole the booklet from the Emperor's hands, "Son will take a look."

Feng Yu Heng also got close to take a look. Its contents were very simple and only contained a couple sentences: "My daughter is still just a concubine, so how could my Yao family's younger generation have the face to go attend the imperial examination? They're not going!"

Feng Yu Heng suffered a shock. Her maternal grandfather was really arrogant!

The Emperor took a sip of tea and sighed: "That's just old man Yao's personality." Looking again at Feng Yu Heng, she only stood at Xuan Tian Ming's side. She neither spoke nor begged forgiveness, nor did she thank him for the grace. He already knew that this was a special child, but he never thought that she could be so indifferent to the Yao family's matters. "Zhang Yuan." The Emperor pointed at a plate of pears, "This pear's taste is pretty good. Find a fast horse and send two crates to old man Yao."

Zhang Yuan bowed in compliance and began handing down orders to the eunuch beside him.

Only then did Feng Yu Heng bow to the Emperor: "Many thanks father Emperor."

The Emperor, however, recalled another matter and asked Zhang Yuan: "Princess Xiang's illness, has it improved?"
