168. Entering the uterus for diagnosis and treatment
Xiao Yu followed the green-clothed palace maid along the bluestone slab road with two high walls as walls, all the way to the depths of the forbidden palace.
This is the first time he has entered the palace, and the palace in front of him is not as magnificent as he imagined, only a deep black depression, which oppresses people from all sides, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.
Lao Shi walked beside Xiao Yu and said in a low voice: "This is walking in the direction of Xingning Palace." Xingning Palace was the residence of the empress. Listening to what the palace maid said, most of the sick ones were the little princes. β
The little prince? Xiao Yu thought about it, and it seemed that he was also a poor child. When I was in Huaiqian, I heard that the eldest prince born to the queen died a few years ago, and the little prince is only five years old this year.
The emperor preferred the third prince born to Concubine Li Guifei, but due to the opposition of Zu Xun and the old ministers in the court, he was unable to abolish the crown prince and set up another one.
Now those opposing ministers have retreated, and there are only a few left. The queen has also grown up in the past few years, and she is no longer the gentle woman who had a deep love with the emperor and his wife.
Back then, she was too weak and upright, and as a result, she failed to protect the prince who was about to grow up, but now she has saved the life of the little prince and the status of the little prince, so she is tormented in the dark deep palace.
One day, if she boils the β‘β‘-hearted emperor to death, she will probably be able to turn over with the little prince.
But such a dynasty, such a throne, even if the little prince can ascend the throne, the future will only be more crisis-ridden.
Thinking wildly all the way, he soon entered another layer of palace wall through a small door.
In front of me, it is the bedroom of Queen Daliang, Xingning Palace.
Xingning Palace is the residence of the queens of the Great Liang Kingdom, and the pavilions of the palace are naturally built with a spacious atmosphere.
Flying eaves and arches, carved beams and painted buildings, auspicious clouds and phoenixes on the beams and pillars are also extremely powerful and solemn.
It's just that the palace people walking back and forth under this high gate and mansion have a humble and solemn appearance, but they have an unconcealed atmosphere of hesitation and even fear, which lingers around.
In such a panicked atmosphere, this big palace faded away from the inherent dignity and solemnity, showing a little gloomy.
The more Xiao Yu walked inside, the more he felt that the surroundings were miserable and uncomfortable.
It seems that the ultimate wealth and power in the world is not available to everyone.
After entering the palace gate of this Xingning Palace, there was no need for the green-clothed palace maid to hide it anymore, and walked straight to the little prince's bedroom with Xiao Yu.
"The little prince has eaten something bad...... The queen mother urgently ordered Mama to pick the throat of the little prince to induce vomiting, but the thing spit out, but the little prince still yelled that his stomach hurt and he couldn't stop crying. The imperial doctor has already seen it, but he has always said that the little prince has not been poisoned......" The green-clothed palace maid said the word poisoning with a pale face, and a pair of beautiful eyes with tears burst out with a trace of resentment.
She closed her eyes slightly and collected her tears, still with a solemn face, and continued: "Since our mother invited Dr. Feng to come, she entrusted the life and death of the little prince to Dr. Feng, and she has no suspicion about you. Niangniang asked the slave maid to confess to Doctor Feng, but the imperial doctor was afraid that he would be bribed and did not want to detoxify the little prince. Niangniang asked Mrs. Fang to invite Dr. Feng, not only because she likes Dr. Feng's superb medical skills, but also because she likes Dr. Feng, you are Xie Shizi's beloved, and you will never be bought and coerced by those things that have a black heart and lungs. β
Xiao Yu heard her say this, but the displeasure of being deceived into the palace gradually dissipated.
It's rare that this queen is a transparent person, and she doesn't say some nonsense that she must protect him so that he can concentrate on treating the little prince without distractions, but she finds out that she not only has the ability to protect him, but also has to borrow the power that Xie Jingxiu gave him.
Although she had long known that she could not be relied upon except for self-protection in this deep palace, the queen said it clearly, but she seemed to act uprightly.
How could such a woman not be liked by the emperor? Although he is a man himself, Xiao Yu really can't figure out what some men think.
The green-clothed palace maid hurriedly explained the matter on the road, and several people had already walked into the little prince's bedroom.
As soon as he entered, he smelled a strong smell of medicine mixed with the smell of incense, which made Xiao Yu's breath suffocated.
This is also the taste of the prime minister's house last time. Xiao Yu felt helpless, he was also a human being, he didn't believe that those nobles smelled comfortable, why did he torture himself like this.
As soon as the green-clothed palace maid entered the palace gate, she hurriedly walked to the side of a woman in gorgeous clothes surrounded by servants and maids, knelt down heavily, and choked up: "Niangniang, Doctor Feng has been invited, the little prince is saved!" β
Xiao Yu looked at the woman, who was also looking at him at the same time.
Xiao Yu hasn't knelt much since he came to this world, and he doesn't have to kneel to others after being with Xie Jingxiu - except for when he was married to worship in the hall, he knelt firmly in the high hall of heaven and earth.
At this time, he didn't want to bend the man's knees, so he only nodded slightly to the middle-aged beauty who was slightly haggard but still had bright eyes.
The queen didn't care about his false courtesy, but stepped forward and said softly: "Trouble Doctor Feng to go this way." β
Xiao Yu said: "Don't worry, where is the prince, I'll go see him." β
The queen hurriedly asked the palace maid to take Xiao Yu into the inner room to see the prince, and she also went in together, first went to the prince's bed, took the handkerchief in the palace maid's hand, and wiped the cold sweat on the forehead of the little prince on the bed.
A imperial physician came out of the room a little wolfishly, and Yuan glared at Xiao Yu indignantly, but when he saw Xiao Yu's face clearly, he cried out in surprise.
"Doctor Feng? How did you get into the palace?! β
Xiao Yu saw that this old lady doctor was a little familiar, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly said, "Doctor Zhou." β
When he operated on Lin Xian, Feng Yunfei once took two imperial doctors to Guang'an Hall to help, one of whom was this imperial doctor Zhou.
The palace maid who led the way hated that the imperial doctor was subdued by the fox spirit this week, and deliberately did not treat the little prince, so she hatefully dismissed him, and said to Xiao Yu: "Doctor Feng, please quickly." β
Xiao Yu only nodded to Imperial Physician Zhou, said no more, and hurriedly went in.
Imperial Doctor Zhou didn't get angry this time, and he didn't care that the resentful eyes of the palace maids in Xingning Palace were about to stare him out of a hole, so he hurriedly followed.
"Doctor Feng, quickly check the pulse of the little prince. I said that the prince was not poisoned, but the queen mother did not believe it. The little prince was in poor health, but it was not poisoned, and the old man could not prescribe medicine according to the antidote. Imperial Doctor Zhou said again and again.
The little palace maid pushed Imperial Doctor Zhou angrily.
"You old horseman! I have a black conscience and I don't want to treat the prince, do you want to bring others with the same conscience as you?! Get out of here! β
I used to look at this week, although the imperial doctor was sleek but did not lose his kind heart, he was one of the few imperial doctors in the hospital who did not lean on the Li family, and every time the little prince had a headache and brain fever, the queen mother was relieved to invite him to come to the little prince for treatment.
The queen wanted to hold him more steadily, and sent someone to investigate, Imperial Doctor Zhou entered Beijing alone, without a family to drag him down, if he was not greedy for money and not afraid of death, then no one would have a way to take him. However, in this way, the queen has no way to deal with him, and naturally Li Guifei can't use means, and Imperial Doctor Zhou has been diligent for so many years.
Unexpectedly, even this last available person defected.
The Li family is getting bigger and bigger, but the queen mother of the middle palace is getting weaker and weaker. The queen's mother's mother's family, the royal relatives of the country, were squeezed by the Li family so much that they couldn't straighten their waists, let alone help the queen's mother. It's really struggling.
The safety of the little palace maid is completely tied to the queen and the prince, and she naturally has the same hatred in her heart, afraid that this week the imperial doctor will bewitch the new little doctor and ask someone to beat him out together.
The queen just sat on the edge of the little prince's bed, deaf to the noise outside the door.
Xiao Yu listened to Imperial Doctor Zhou's words in his ears, walked to the side of the bed without stopping, and looked down at the little prince on the bed.
It's just a five-year-old.
Compared with his noble status as a prince, this child was really a little thin and pitiful, and looked much smaller than his peers, and at this time he was lying in a pile of brocade silk, humming low and crying out in pain, and cold sweat was constantly flowing on his forehead.
Xiao Yu asked Lao Shi to put the medicine box on the small table next to the bed, took out a stethoscope from it and hung it around his neck, walked to the side of the bed, grabbed the little prince's wrist and began to check the pulse.
The little prince's face was a little purple, his little brows were furrowed tightly, and a pair of black and shiny eyes looked at Xiao Yu quietly.
"Doctor, can I still live?" He asked, gnat-like, calm as calm as a five-year-old.
Xiao Yu's heart softened, and all his original worries were now forgotten.
After all, he is not a person of this era, and he can't calculate what interests are weighed and camps are contested. Such a well-behaved child was afflicted with illness before his eyes, and he could no longer think about anything else.
"Yes, the prince can not only live, but also live well for a long time." Xiao Yu smiled at him, put the stethoscope on his ear, and took the stethoscope head into his clothes.
The palace maid beside the bed moved, but was shocked by the queen's eyes, and could only watch Xiao Yu fiddle with the little prince's body at will.
The little prince was breathing very quickly, Xiao Yu listened to the heart sounds, and there were no symptoms of arrhythmia. It's just that the breath sounds in the right lung are absent and the breath sounds in the left lung are enhanced, what causes this?
Xiao Yu frowned slightly, and said to the queen: "Niangniang, please let me do a check-up." β
The queen hurriedly stood up and stepped aside, and several palace maids also retreated to the queen's side.
Xiao Yu lifted the little prince's quilt, gently took off the little prince's clothes, looked into his eyes and whispered, "Has your stomach been hurting?" Wait a minute, Uncle will gently press on your little belly, where it hurts badly, just tell Uncle SΓΉ, okay? β
Xiao Yu habitually coaxed the toddler patient, and a trace of blush appeared on the little prince's unnatural face, as if he was not used to his tone of coaxing a child.
"Yes, got it." He whispered back.
Xiao Yu first percussed his lungs.
"The percussion of the upper right lung is a tympanic sound, and the percussion of the lower right lung is dull......" Xiao Yu said softly, his slender fingers pressing on the xiphoid process.
"Does it hurt here?" Xiao Yu asked softly.
The little prince frowned and nodded: "It hurts ......"
Xiao Yu lightly pressed down on the sword protrusion again and quickly lifted it up: "Does it hurt like this?" β
The little prince shook his head.
There is tenderness at the xiphoid process, but there is no rebound tenderness. The little prince just hugged his arms around his chest and stomach and screamed that it hurt, and he had to try little by little where it hurt.
After some palpation, the little prince's chest and upper abdomen hurt severely, and the upper abdominal muscles were very tense.
Tympanum percussion in the right upper lung, breath sounds are almost absent, and the sound of water in the chest can be heard, which is a symptom of a fluid pneumothorax.
The queen looked at his frowning appearance, and her heart rose to her throat.
"Doctor Feng, what kind of poison did the prince get into? Please also ask Dr. Feng to prescribe it quickly. The queen's voice trembled slightly.
Xiao Yu looked at her and shook his head: "The prince is not poisoned. β
Imperial Doctor Zhou, who had been watching from the sidelines, said loudly: "Yes, yes, the prince is indeed not poisoned!" That's how the old man was diagnosed! β
The queen's face turned pale, and Xiao Yu continued: "Although it is not poisoned, it is more troublesome than poisoning. β
There are symptoms of fluid pneumothorax and acute abdominal pain, which can be caused by a variety of causes, and without x-rays, he could not determine the cause.
That's the trickiest part.
"The little prince has some vicious fluid in his chest, which has pressed his right lung and makes it difficult to breathe, so he has to draw it out." Xiao Yu explained as succinctly as possible, "Doing this kind of surgery requires a clean space, and it can't be done here. β
If you can, it's best to go back to Guang'an Hall, but it's so convenient for the prince to leave the palace.
The palace maid hurriedly said: "There is a clean room next to it!" β
Xiao Yu shook his head: "It's not enough to sprinkle and sweep, you have to wash it thoroughly with a special decoction, and you have to disinfect it with spirits." β
Imperial Physician Zhou had watched Lin Xian's operation and knew what Xiao Yu meant, so he hurriedly said, "There is such a room in Tai Hospital!" Last time, after Dr. Luo came back from Guang'an Hall, he got such a room in the Tai Hospital, and no one has used it yet. β
The nobles in the palace are well-nourished, and there are few injuries that can be treated by surgery, and the room arranged by Imperial Doctor Luo in imitation of the operating room of Guang'an Hall has been empty there.
Xiao Yu's eyes lit up: "That's the best." Doctor Luo is an ulcer doctor, and it is best to have his help. β
The queen immediately ordered to go down and let everyone immediately take the little prince to the imperial hospital set up outside the palace gate.
Xiao Yu took the little prince with an uncomfortable face from the hands of the palace people: "I'll hold it." "The palace people don't know the little prince's sore spots, and no matter how careful they are, they will hurt the child.
When the little prince arrived in Xiao Yu's arms, he was really quieter.
The queen didn't say a word, and the group left Xingning Palace and went to the Tai Hospital.
"Oh? She invited the princess of the Yuan Dynasty? Did you take someone to the hospital? In the emperor's bedroom, Concubine Li Guifei was unscrupulous in front of the emperor to ask the queen's whereabouts.
What about the mother of a country, losing the favor of the emperor, this is the end, and even the life of her own son cannot be saved.
Concubine Li Guifei's eyes turned and looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, the concubine wants to go to the Tai Hospital to see her sister and the little prince." β
Emperor Yongrong was lying on the bed swallowing clouds and mist, and looked at her when he heard the words.
"She will hate you to the bone now, why should you recruit her again."
Concubine Li said with a smile: "The emperor said this, but the concubine couldn't understand it. The concubine has always respected the queen very much, why did she hate me to the bone? β
The emperor looked at her deeply: "Concubine Ai is the most intelligent, there is no need to pretend to be confused in front of me." At this glance, there seems to be some shrewdness and majesty back then.
Li Guifei's heart jumped, but she secretly sneered.
Knowing that it was she who wanted the little prince's life, this man has been ignoring it, and this son is pretending to be thorough and practical.
Concubine Li Guifei was coquettish and stupid in every way, and finally pestered the emperor to nod her head and allow her to go to the hospital.
Li Guifei walked out of the Wuji Hall with a lot of grace surrounded by a group of palace maids and attendants, and turned back to the emperor and smiled sweetly, and then walked away.
The Emperor took another puff and slowly exhaled his white smoke.
"Yan'er, Yan'er, you have already poisoned your hand, do you have to watch him die with your own eyes, can you rest assured? β¦β¦β
In the smoke, I seemed to see the eldest prince following him to study when he was not dying, and the little prince who was still in swaddling clothes giggled at him with a toothless mouth, and that gentle face, looking at him with a look of dependence and affection, not as cold and vigilant as now......
The smoke cleared, and the image was gone.
Emperor Yongrong pressed the corners of his lips that he didn't know when he was a little puzzled.
It's really weird, how did you think of something so long?
It is common for the harem to compete for favor, and the dignified queen's skills are not as good as others, so she can't even keep her children. This time, the woman was only afraid that she would completely give up the position of queen.
The stereotypical rules of the royal family of the Great Liang State have been passed down in one line, and the queen must not be abolished without mistakes, only the son-in-law can be established as the prince. Even if he wants to pave the way for his most beloved concubine and prince, he can't go beyond this ancestral teaching.
That's why there is a bloody battle to this day. Concubine Li Guifei is planning for the third prince, and he will not stop it.
Outside Guang'an Hall, several extremely extravagant and luxurious carriages stopped outside the door, and Xie Jingxiu got down gracefully from the car and stepped on the steps of Guang'an Hall under the gaze of people on the street.
A few vendors selling candy men and clay figurines on the corner looked at each other, barely able to hide the shock in their eyes.
Xie Jingxiu really didn't die?! Not only did he not die, but he didn't even have any injuries, and even returned to Guang'an Hall generously.
Several people looked at each other for a moment, and then quietly withdrew from the bustling street.
Erjiu looked at the backs of those people, hugged the long sword and sneered.
Xie Jingxiu thought that he would see Xiao Yu happily welcoming the figure of Guang'an Hall, but he had specially straightened his posture, straightened his already very heroic back, and slowly stepped on the steps in front of the hall with very elegant movements.
But he was about to step into the threshold of Guang'an Hall, and he still didn't wait for Xiao Yu's greeting.
Xie Shizi's eyebrows furrowed.
What's going on? Didn't the guards get the news that he was coming back?
He was just about to step through the door, but he saw a figure running towards him from the street.
"Shizi? It's really the son of the world! Whining...... It's great that you're okay! Bai Ling cried and laughed with tears on his face, and stepped forward and said urgently, "Shizi, the prince was deceived by Mrs. Fang into the palace!" β
"What?" Xie Jingxiu's eyes sank, and his voice became cold.
