In October of the twenty-first year of Kangxi, the weather began to gradually get colder. The wind also changed from a warm southwest wind to a cold northeast wind.

The change of seasons is a time when diseases are common. Unfortunately, the Queen Mother contracted a wind chill at this time.

The Queen Mother caught a cold when she went for a walk by the pond in the morning, and because the situation was not too serious, the Queen Mother didn't care too much, but the situation took a turn for the worse, and the Queen Mother had a high fever that night. Shuyun measured it with a thermometer, and it actually burned to 39.5 degrees.

This degree can make Shuyun and Kangxi anxious. But fortunately, judging from the pulse of the Queen Mother, it was just a simple cold, and it was not accompanied by acute inflammation such as pneumonia, meningitis, and scarlet fever. However, if the fever does not go away, it is easy to cause brain damage and dehydration. So it is necessary to cool down as soon as possible. At present, the best way to do it is to use penicillin. Unfortunately, Shuyun gave the Queen Mother a skin test and found that the Queen Mother was allergic to penicillin.

Shuyun had no choice but to use traditional Chinese medicine that had a slower effect. Antelope horn and forsythia are decocted with water, and the effect of removing heat is still relatively good.

But before Shuyun could take medicine, the imperial doctors arrived, led by Liu Yuanzheng himself, and Shuyun was happy to let them take over. He stepped aside and waited.

After the doctors' consultation, they gave a prescription. Liu Yuan was showing it to Kangxi and Shuyun according to the rules.

The recipe is very good, but it is too gentle, and the effect will not be too fast. But the Queen Mother is now in urgent need of fever. Shuyun can understand the original intention of the imperial doctors to be conservative in their medication. I didn't want to interfere, but if I did, it would dismiss the face of the doctors. But according to the current prescription, even if the Queen Mother is cured, eighty percent will leave the root of the disease. At that time, you will have to slowly recuperate for a while.

The Empress Dowager fell ill on the Zhuangzi. If you don't get it right, Shuyun will also complain.

When Shuyun was in a dilemma, Liu Yuanzheng spoke.

"Your Majesty. Guifei Niangniang, our Chinese medicine prescription is good. But the effect will be slower, and if the fever cannot be reduced in time, the damage to the Queen Mother will be great. The concubine is proficient in Western medicine, and the effect of penicillin in treating such diseases is excellent, but the queen mother can't use it, I don't know if the concubine has any other methods, you might as well use it, and the ministers should follow to learn one or two. ”

This Liu Yuan is really an old fox. Say a few words. not only downplayed the possible adverse consequences, but also shirked the responsibility in disguise, and also pulled Shuyun to back them by the way. But this is also in line with Shuyun's intentions, and it also saves Shuyun from having to find an excuse to meddle, so Shuyun is too lazy to bother with him.

But he still smacked the old fox with a word. Shuyun said with a smile: "Liu Yuan is very clever, how can this palace not be attentive to the body of the Queen Mother." ”

Seeing that Liu Lao Fox's face flashed with a hint of embarrassment, Shuyun smiled and changed the prescription first. A few flavors were added, and a few more flavors were subtracted. It became the recipe of the famous Lingqiao antidote pill in later generations.

Shuyun glanced at the recipe that had been corrected, and then handed it to Liu Yuan Zheng and said, "Liu Yuan is looking at this recipe, can it work faster?" ”

Liu Yuanzheng looked at it and said, "This medicine is all symptomatic, but Chen has never used this prescription before." I don't know what the effect will be, but please ask the emperor to decide. ”

This willow courtyard really doesn't want to get a leaf on it.

How could Kangxi not know the tricks used by these imperial doctors, but now is not the time to punish them. The Queen Mother is still in crisis, Kangxi glanced at Shuyun. Seeing that Shuyun nodded, he said coldly: "Just decoct the medicine according to this recipe." ”

Liu Yuan was handing over the prescription to another imperial doctor to decoction.

Shuyun saw that Kangxi agreed. After thinking about it for a while, I felt that it was not safe, so I gave another prescription.

The recipe is very simple, boiled with vinegar and willow bark.

In traditional Chinese medicine, willow bark is often used as medicine, but in fact, the process of suffering in Chinese medicine is the process of preparing new compounds. Acetic acid soaked in willow bark, what is obtained is salicylic acid, another name of salicylic acid, called aspirin, which is commonly used by the common people in later generations and has analgesic and antipyretic effects.

looked at Kangxi and Liu Yuanzheng, who were holding the prescription with a puzzled expression. Shuyun patiently explained the pharmacology and efficacy of paracetamol.

Seeing that Shuyun said that it was a Western medicine that worked very well, Liu Yuan was interested, and actually went to boil it himself.

Seeing that everything was arranged, Shuyun and Kangxi turned around and entered the inner room. The Queen Mother was still lying groggily on the bed, and Mama Hui was waiting with two little palace maids by her side. Shuyun stepped forward and touched the Queen Mother's forehead. It's hot under his hands.

Seeing the Queen Mother, she groaned uncomfortably. Shuyun frowned. He instructed Mama Hui: "Mama, please go and get some thick cloth towels that absorb water, and then take some ice cubes, and bring a basin of cold water, and add ice to it." ”

Mama Hui didn't know what Lu Dao Shuyun was going to do, but she still bowed down and hurriedly took a little palace maid down to prepare.

Shuyun took the initiative to explain to Kangxi: "If the high fever does not go away, you can use cold compresses to help lower your body temperature. Place a cold and wet towel on your forehead, wrists, and calves, and cover the rest of your body with clothing. When the cold compress reaches body temperature, change it once and repeat until the fever subsides. The ice cubes were wrapped in a cloth bag and placed on the forehead. ”

"Also, Ruxue, you go to the room in the main palace and get some more alcohol." After Shuyun finished instructing, he said to Kangxi: "Wiping the whole body with alcohol will also help dissipate heat." ”

Mama Hui and Ruxue soon returned with what Shuyun needed.

Shuyun invited Kangxi out of the city, and took Mama Hui and Mama He to start physically cooling down the Queen Mother.

Although Shuyun's method is strange, none of the palace ladies and grandmothers have ever seen it, or even heard of it. But with Kangxi's permission, and Mama Hui and her sisters also know that Lu Dao Shuyun and the Queen Mother have no conflict of interest, and they will not harm the Queen Mother. I was surprised and concentrated on helping.

Shuyun didn't stop the movements in her hand, and casually instructed Ruxue: "Ruxue, go to the room of the palace and get the white porcelain jar with honey." Then go to the kitchen to boil a bowl of ginger soup, and squeeze a bowl of juice from carrots. "In front of outsiders, Shuyun claims to be from the palace, this is the rule, and Shuyun can only be good.

When you have a high fever, your body shuts down the sweat glands by losing too much water to stop further water loss. This prevents the patient's body from dissipating heat. The solution is to replenish fluids, as carrot juice is rich in vitamins and minerals. Works best. Fortunately, there are a lot of newly harvested carrots on the Zhuangzi.

After Shuyun's busy work, the Queen Mother's fever subsided a little. I was also much more conscious.

Seeing Shuyun holding her stomach, she was busy in front of the bed and waited attentively. The Queen Mother was very moved in her heart, but she still spoke in a hoarse voice: "Why are you here, hurry up." You are now a person with a body, and you don't know how to pay attention, if this is too sick, how can it be better. You minions don't talk about persuasion, I really don't know anything. ”

Hui Mama, they were busy pleading guilty one after another.

Shuyun smiled and said, "Huang Eniang, it's okay, the concubine's health is fine, you will use the medicine later." And the concubines went out. ”

"No, no, no, let's get out now."

"But Huang Eniang, there are some treatment methods, and they don't understand it, so let the concubines stay."

"If you don't understand, tell them that you can't stay."

Shuyun said that the Queen Mother just didn't agree. Shuyun had no choice but to give detailed instructions to Mama He, Mama Hui and the others, and then turned around and walked out of the inner room.

Kangxi was sitting outside, and the news that the Queen Mother had changed for the better Shuyun had already been reported to him. At this time, Kangxi seemed to be a lot more relieved. It's no longer an anxious face.

Seeing Shuyun come out, Kangxi hurriedly stepped forward to support Shuyun and said with concern: "How is it, is your body still able to eat?" There is no discomfort. I heard that the emperor's mother is much better. Thanks to you this time. ”

"I'm fine, it's good, don't worry."

Kangxi grabbed Shuyun's hand. With a guilty face, he said, "Look, I'm really confused, I forgot that you are still pregnant." If you have three long and two short. It's good to be called me. ”

Shuyun smiled and patted Kangxi's hand and said, "It's okay." The Queen Mother's illness came so violently, even if you didn't let me interfere, I couldn't sit still. Instead of worrying about it, it's better to wait by your side. ”

While the two were talking, Ruxue came in with a tray.

Shuyun asked her to bring the ginger soup and carrot juice into it and feed them to the Queen Mother separately, at least a quarter of an hour apart.

Then open the small white porcelain jar, pour out some white jade honey and water and stir well.

"This is the white jade honey." Kangxi asked, standing aside and looking at the honey that radiated a colorful luster.

"Yes, this is the best way to replenish the body, but unfortunately there is only so much left, it was originally reserved for the dragon eggs, and it was also prepared for emergencies. Now that the emperor's mother is weak, she will give her some for the old man first. ”

"It's hard for you, Changning has trained the navy well, and when it is calm for two more years, the national strength of the Qing Dynasty will go up, and I will send them overseas to find more returns."

"This kind of thing can be encountered but not sought, and there is no hurry, the sea is high and the waves are dangerous, so it is not too late to wait until you are fully prepared to leave."

"Well, I know what to do, don't worry."

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, the medicine is decoctioned, I don't know which one to give the Queen Mother first." As he was talking, Liu Yuan came in with two bowls of medicine.

Kangxi looked at Shuyun. Shuyun said: "Let's take Chinese medicine first, and then take the salicylic acid in a quarter of an hour." Oh, by the way, you wait a while and then go in, I'll go and clean up for the emperor first. Shuyun remembered that the Queen Mother was a little untidy because she was doing physical cooling.

After the Queen Mother took the medicine. Shuyun asked Ruxue to go to the kitchen to make some light liquid food, and also arranged for someone to be on duty in the kitchen to ensure that there was warm gruel and noodles for the Queen Mother to take at all times. He also told Xiao Guizi to take people to the greenhouse at dawn tomorrow to pick some vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C and send them to the Queen Mother.

Seeing that the Queen Mother was in a lot of spirits, the fever basically subsided. Shuyun wrote a few recipes for medicinal food and handed them to Mama He, and explained some taboos to Mama Hui before dragging her tired body back to the room with Kangxi.
