Chapter 787 - Incense is the Culprit

Translator: Thyaeria

“How’s your appetite and sleep quality?” Su Tao asked as if he was looking at an ordinary patient.

Consultation is an important technique in TCM as you can make further analysis for the patient’s condition through some questioning.

“I have been eating normally, and my sleep quality is slightly lesser at roughly five hours a day.”

Yin Kailang’s actual sleep quality was only four hours a day. He had to sort through documents every night, and he had to take up at 5 a.m. to exercise and keep himself fit.

“Generally speaking, someone with an illness will have his appetite and sleep quality affected. But since you’re eating and sleeping well, you don’t have any major issues with your health.” Su Tao analysed.

“But Mr. Yin was coughing when I just entered the office. Isn’t coughing considered an illness?” Di Shiyuan was confused as he asked.

“Strictly speaking, coughing cannot be considered an illness. Coughing is part of our protective system. Let’s say that your breathing has caused inflammation, resulting in phlegm, so your body will try to clear it up through coughing.” Su Tao patiently explained as he went on, “But judging from Mr. Yin’s complexion, he’s not suffering from ordinary coughs but allergic asthma.”

“Asthma isn’t considered an illness?” Di Shiyuan’s nerves instantly tensed up.

“Allergic asthma is classified into different levels. Mr. Yin might seem to be coughing badly, but he will be able to recover swiftly as soon as you find the cause.” Su Tao smiled.

For many people, allergic asthma generally appears during childhood, so Yin Kailang couldn’t understand how he suddenly got allergic asthma.

“There can be two reasons for allergic asthma, internal and external. The human body will keep changing based as time passes, and it’s also based on lifestyle. For allergic asthma, aside from inborn deficiencies, it can also be caused by lifestyle. But as I’ve just said, you’re healthier than anyone else, so it’s not an internal issue, but external.”

“Stop keeping us in suspense!” Di Shiyuan smiled as he continued, “Quick, tell us the reason!”

Walking towards the incense pot by the corner, Su Tao pointed at the spiralling smoke and explained, “This is the culprit! If I’ve guessed it correctly, Mr. Yin must have started showing symptoms after you started using it, right?”

Yin Kailang was somewhat surprised by Su Tao’s words, but after a brief pondering, what Su Tao said was true as he locked his brows together, “There’s an issue with the incense?”

“There’s nothing wrong with the incense, and I can tell that it’s eaglewood. Although it might not be comparable to aquilaria crassna, it can still be considered a superior product.” As Su Tao made a rough estimation, the price of this incense is about ¥500 per gram.

As the supply could not meet the demand for aquilaria crassna, it was practically equivalent to gold. During a certain auction in 2014, the price of aquilaria crassna went up to roughly ¥2,000.

Incense is similar to tea culture being one of the cultural treasures of China. With China’s economy slowly recovering, there are also many incense lovers. In ancient times, educated people would always combine incense, tea, and painting together.

Incense are friends of scholars, while it’s also the companion for people who live alone.

Smoking your clothes with incense, you bask in the warmth of it. Incense was an important background prop in the previous example, and incense can also be a decoration of elegance.

Furthermore, incense can also be used during music plays to set up a better ambiance and clear up the mind.

During a meeting between scholars with tea, painting, and calligraphy, how can there be no incense?

Hence, this is books and incense family is the highest form of evaluation for an educated family.

“The incense was gifted to me by a good friend of mine, and I find myself more energetic with one a day. But you think that it’s the culprit for my cough? I’m sorry, but I find it hard to agree.” Yin Kailang explained with his brows locked.

“The reason why there is an allergic reaction in the body is due to the disorder of the lungs, kidney, and liver functions that caused an imbalance, producing cold-moist toxins that will cause the body’s immunity to fall. Furthermore, the cause of allergies varies for different people. Not only can incense clear up the mind, but it also has a unique medicinal usage. Medicinal usage is classified into three grades, with incense being a commodity that’s practically without any side-effects. However, it can only be used on people with weak cold symptoms. In the Compendium of Medical Herbs 1596, those with heaty physiques and weak Yin should avoid moistening the lips. Hence, for those with heaty physiques and weak Yin, they should by no means use incense, and your physique just so happens to be it.”

There isn’t any conflict in Su Tao’s words as it’s impossible for a human body to maintain Yin and Yang balance at all times as there’s bound to be ripples occasionally.

Even if Yin Kailang is always busy, there are medical specialists in the province who would look after his health periodically, so he’s naturally more healthy than an ordinary person.

However, there will also be times where his body would get heaty and lack Yin, so in addition to working in an incensed environment daily, he naturally showed symptoms of allergic asthma.

“I’ve learned something today!” Yin Kailang knew about his body well, and he knew that there’s nothing serious about his condition. This is also the reason why he has been refusing to visit the hospital. Now that he received Su Tao’s reminder and thought about it, his cough had indeed, starting when he used the incense. Hence, he instantly knew that Su Tao wasn’t cooking things up and asked, “What should I do then? Do I just have to remove the incense?”

Nodding his head, Su Tao smiled, “You can recover swiftly by removing the incense and take some medicine to regulate your organs.”

As he spoke, Su Tao retrieved a paper from his medicine box and wrote down a prescription before handing it to Di Shiyuan.

Di Shiyuan was stunned by Su Tao’s sudden action as he knew that Su Tao was doing him a favor. Sweeping a glance at the prescription, he then handed it to Yin Kailang.

“We’ll go according to your suggestion then.” Yin Kailang nodded his head and smiled, “I’ve been hearing about you from Zhang Ping. He has been praising you for your medicine skill, and now that I have an opportunity to experience it today, I can only say that you are fully worthy of your reputation.”

“TCM is deep and profound, and I only learnt a small part about it.” Su Tao smiled humbly.

Knowing that Yin Kailang is busy with his work, he smiled, “Mr. Yin, you can continue to get busy with your work. We’re already done here, so we will be taking our leave first.”

As Yin Kailang nodded his head, he fell into blank space after Di Shiyuan and Su Tao left the office. It was only at this moment did he know why Zhang Ping wanted to forge Hanzhou City into a TCM City.

TCM truly has a lot of potential to excavate.

He met many people in his lifetime, but he had only met a few comparable to Su Tao.

To be honest, he did not support how Zhang Ping invested so many funds into TCM initially and even provided many beneficial politics. But now that he had a first hand experience in it, he pondered if he should grant TCM some support from the Provincial Committee.

Su Tao’s trip can be acclaimed as a final push for Zhang Ping, allowing the latter to suffer lesser pressure from the Provincial Committee with regards to this matter. At the same time, it will also be crucial to the cooperation between the government and Three Flavour International.

After Su Tao and Di Shiyuan left the office, Qiao Yong immediately came up. When he heard from Di Shiyuan that Yin Kailang’s coughing was related to the incense, he immediately entered the office and removed it.

Thereafter, Qiao Yong personally saw Su Tao out. This action had also proved why Qiao Yong could become the favorite in the Provincial Committee as he knows how to be tactful.

Qiao Yong knew that Su Tao wasn’t simple as everyone knows about his potential.

He’s now a National Healer, and he practically services the leaders of the nation that even Yin Kailang have to treat Su Tao amicably.

Returning to the Audi, Di Shiyuan asked after seeing Su Tao’s silence, “We’re already done with it, but you still seem to be bothered by something?”

Nodding his head, Su Tao locked his brows for a long time before he sighed, “It’s not easy to treat the heart!”

“You mean that Mr. Yin is bothered by something?” Di Shiyuan’s eyes flickered.

“Yeah!” Su Tao replied as he continued, “Mr. Yin’s body is in great condition, but there’s something bothering him in his heart. It might not be serious for now, but as time passes, it will start to show signs. If I’ve guessed correctly, it must have something to do with his private life.”

As an official like Yin Kailang, he had practically experienced the storms and waves in life. Hence, he will definitely be able to handle whatever difficulty in life, and the only thing that can be bothering him would be his private life.

When Di Shiyuan heard Su Tao’s words, he smiled bitterly. Someone else might not be able to understand Su Tao’s words, but Di Shiyuan had a relative relationship with Yin Kailang, so he knew something about the latter’s family.

Then again, he had to look at Su Tao in a whole new light from how he could deduce so much from just a simple cough.

However, Di Shiyuan hesitated if he should tell Su Tao about it.

Su Tao seemed as if he could see through Di Shiyuan’s hesitation and smiled, “For any illnesses, it’s best to be treated as soon as possible, even for the heart.”

Upon hearing Su Tao’s words, Di Shiyuan no longer hesitated and asked, “Do you still remember Yin Le?”

“Yeah!” Su Tao replied as a youthful figure immediately appeared in his mind.

“She’s the daughter of Mr. Yin, but the two of them don’t have a good relationship.” Di Shiyuan sighed as he went on, “When Yin Le was young, her father placed all his effort into work and neglected his family. When Yin Le’s mother passed away, it caused a drastic change in Yin Le’s personality and she also became more independent after that incident.”

Su Tao did not have a good impression of Yin Le as the latter had once ruined someone’s family. Even if the man was lying to her on purpose, Su Tao still couldn’t accept a mistress.

But after Di Shiyuan’s explanation, Su Tao sighed inwardly. God is fair to everyone. Even if you’re blessed, you will still suffer setbacks in life.

“That’s the cause then! To treat Mr. Yin’s heart, you will have to patch up their relationship. This time, it might be incense, but who knows what will be next. After all, the issue in the heart was the reason that caused his heaty physique with weak Yin.” Su Tao had no reservations with Di Shiyuan.

However, Di Shiyuan shook his head bitterly. How will it be that simple? He and his wife have been trying everything they could to help the father and daughter but nothing works.
