Bai Zhi said to Ke Tong: “You need a full-body examination. There is a difference between men and women. It is not convenient for me to look at it. Good thing Imperial Doctor Xu is here today. It’s better to go to your room, put on a screen, and Imperial Doctor Xu will tell me the situation. In that case, I’ll be able to analyze the matter and write a prescription that suits you best.”

Ke Tong was a little embarrassed. Most of the sores were on his lower body, there was not much on his upper body. That place was embarrassing to let people see.

Bai Zhi said with a smile: “In the doctor’s eyes, there are only patients. The flesh of the patient’s body in the doctor’s eyes is no different from the pork sold on the street.”

Imperial Doctor Xu also said with a smile: “You will not show it to her, only me will look at it. We are both men. What is there to be ashamed of?”

Ke Tong was relieved. He told to himself that they were simply treating his illness and nothing else. He had already reached this point. What else could he hide?

“Okay, it’s up to you.”

Back in Ke Tong’s bedroom, the servant set up a screen, and set a table and chairs behind the screen, and put new tea and snacks on it.

After Bai Zhi sat down, Ke Tong on the other side of the screen also began to undress, from head to toe.

Bai Zhi asked: “Is there sores on his lower body?”

After the inspection, Imperial Doctor Xu said: “Yes, there are, very few, but there are many on both sides of his groin.”

“You press on his groin, is there a hard lump?” Bai Zhi asked.

Imperial Doctor Xu did what she said, and there was really a hard lump: “Yes!”

“Is there pain in between?” Bai Zhi asked again.

Imperial Doctor Xu lightly pressed Ke Tong’s groin: “Is it painful?”

Ke Tong frowned: “It’s not very painful, but it’s a little uncomfortable.”

Bai Zhi nodded her head and asked: “Are you experiencing lack of appetite, yellow and greasy tongue, short and bloody urine, and hard to dry stool?”

Ke Tong looked surprised, she actually asked him all these problems? How did she know?

“Yes, all of it. How did you know?” Ke Tong looked curiously at the figure behind the screen. She clearly can’t see the situation here, but it seemed that she has pair of eyes that could see through everything.

Bai Zhi answered him with a low voice: “You don’t have these symptoms alone. All the people with this disease have the same symptoms. I have read it in medical books and asked casually.”

So that was the case, Ke Tong suddenly pondered. Is his case serious? Can it be cured?

Bai Zhi picked up the teacup and took a sip of the hot tea. The fresh fragrance of the tea spread between her lips and teeth.

At this moment, she already has a prescription for him in her mind.

Bai Zhi said: “Fortunately, it’s not too serious, but if you drag it more, it will naturally become more and more serious. Ke Gongzi, you have a good father. He saved you.”

After speaking, she wrote down the prescription.

Without waiting for Ke Tong to put on his clothes, Imperial Doctor Xu quickly went to the other side of the screen and watched Bai Zhi write the prescription.

While Bai Zhi was writing, he read it out loud: “Mutong, Plantago, Shengdi. 3 grams of Gentiana, Scutellaria, gardenia, Alisma, and zexie. 1 gram of licorice root.”

In fact, to cure Ke Tong’s disease, it doesn’t need to take too much trouble. She simply needs to use penicillin. However, she doesn’t have much of this medicine in her medicine box. And she needed to inject it from both hip muscles, which was very common in modern times. But in this ancient time, she was an unmarried little girl. Not only does she need to take a look at it, but she also needs to touch the bare buttocks of a man with syphilis. If this spread out, she doesn’t know how much trouble she will face.

She doesn’t mind about this matter, but she doesn’t want to cause trouble for her grandfather and Hu Feng. They were not ordinary people after all.
