Chapter 18: First Sight of the Eldest Sun Empress
Li Zhonghua thought to himself, sure enough, because of the illness of Empress Changsun, it seems that his title of Shuangliu County boy is not so easy to obtain.
Since ancient times, the companion of the king is like a companion tiger, in case the condition of the eldest grandson queen cannot be improved, I am afraid that it will be difficult to save the little life!
But now it's impossible to regret it, you can only take one step at a time.
"The queen mother is the world, virtuous and virtuous, and she will get better soon." Li Zhonghua said with a smile.
Li Zhonghua knew that he knew that even Sun Simiao couldn't handle the patient, how could he cure the illness of Empress Changsun with a few catties and a few taels.
Now Li Zhonghua can only take one step at a time, he vaguely remembers that it is recorded in the history books that Empress Changsun died in June of the tenth year of Zhenguan, and now it seems that it has been the beginning of June, that is, there is no more than a month at most, and Empress Changsun will die on the couch of the Lizheng Palace.
"Doctor Sun seems to have a good prescription to cure the queen, before returning to Beijing, Doctor Sun once said that the key medicine to cure the queen should have matured, even if Doctor Sun should be able to return to Beijing immediately and cure the queen's illness, Your Majesty might as well wait for two more days."
Li Zhonghua thought about delaying for a few days as much as possible, even if he wanted to treat Empress Changsun, it would be better to consult with Sun Simiao.
Although Li Zhonghua has a grandfather who is proficient in Chinese and Western medicine, Li Zhonghua once fantasized that he had traveled to the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty when he was reading some online articles about crossing through the early Tang Dynasty, and there was no way to save Empress Changsun so that she could live a few more years.
Even Li Zhonghua really studied carefully, what kind of disease should the so-called qi disease suffered by Empress Changsun in the history books be, and why the imperial doctor in the palace, as well as Sun Simiao, who was known as the divine doctor, had no way to cure Empress Changsun's illness.
For this reason, Li Zhonghua even consulted his grandfather for special advice, consulted a lot of various medical books, and memorized a lot of prescriptions.
But Li Zhonghua still didn't have the slightest confidence that he could cure Empress Changsun's illness, because he didn't even know how to take the pulse, let alone the legendary Sun Simiao, when he took the pulse of Empress Changsun, he used a hanging wire to check the pulse.
"It's okay, Doctor Sun will be able to rush back to Chang'an at noon tomorrow, and then I will send someone to take you into the palace." In fact, in the final analysis, Li Shimin still prefers to believe in Sun Simiao, although Li Zhonghua has come up with a solution to the smallpox epidemic, but he is still too young after all.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to kill the imperial doctor Gao Dechao who diagnosed and treated the queen's illness." A eunuch hurriedly walked into the Taiji Palace and said loudly in a hurry.
"Nonsense, what the hell is going on. How could the prince want to kill the imperial doctor Gao Dechao. ”
Li Shimin didn't wait for the eunuch's answer, and hurriedly walked out, and said to Li Zhonghua at the same time: "Li Aiqing, since you are here, it is better to go with me to see the queen." ”
Li Zhonghua was helpless, since the emperor had already made an order, he didn't want to go anymore, so he could only follow, and he was still a little excited about seeing the living Empress Changsun.
"The emperor must not cough cough cough...... Rude to Imperial Physician Gao, cough cough cough...... The illness of the queen mother, the cough of the queen mother...... I know in my heart that even if you really kill Imperial Doctor Gao, cough cough cough cough...... What's the use, do you want to cough cough the world...... Healer, ahem, ahem...... Are they all killed? ”
"Queen Mother, as a doctor, they can't even cure such an ordinary illness as fever, what's the use of keeping them?"
"Presumptuous! Who told you to mess around in your mother's bedchamber? ”
Li Shimin was still outside, when he heard the voice of his son, the crown prince Li Chengqian, talking loudly, and he was so angry that he said loudly.
"Erchen has seen his father." When the crown prince Li Chengqian saw that it was his father Li Shimin, he hurriedly knelt down and bowed
"Your Majesty." Gao Dechao, the imperial physician who was already kneeling on the ground, turned around and saw Emperor Li Shimin, and hurriedly said.
"Concubine, cough, cough...... Meet Your Majesty. Although Empress Changsun was sick and lying in bed, when she saw that it was Emperor Li Shimin coming, she also struggled to stay and salute her.
"Guanyin, just lie down, how do you feel now?" Li Shimin hurriedly stepped forward to help Empress Changsun and let her continue to lie down.
"It's just that the body is a little hot, and it's not a problem." Empress Qiang, the eldest grandson, said with a smile.
"Imperial Doctor Gao, what is the queen's condition?" Li Shimin sat on the couch and turned his head to look at Gao Dechao, who was still kneeling on the ground, and asked.
"This ...... Your Majesty, the crime deserves death. Gao Dechao glanced at Li Shimin and did not say anything about the queen's illness, but the meaning has been clearly expressed, the queen has become more and more serious, and I am afraid that time is running out.
Li Shimin's heart sank suddenly, and he glanced at Li Zhonghua again and said, "Li Aiqing, please come and diagnose the queen's condition." ”
Li Zhonghua let out a long sigh in his heart, thinking that after all, he still didn't avoid it and got involved.
"Imperial Doctor Gao, I don't know if I can tell me about the queen's condition." Li Zhonghua looked at Gao Dechao and asked.
Although I know in my heart, the condition of Empress Changsun, according to the development trend of history, will probably die in a few days.
But now that I've come, I always have to try to change my fate.
But I don't know how to take the pulse, so after seeing the eldest grandson, I can only ask Imperial Doctor Gao.
The first time I saw the famous Empress Changsun in history, although it was on the hospital bed, I could still see that the appearance of the Empress Changsun was really very beautiful, which is probably one of the reasons why Li Shimin has a soft spot for her! And it should be one of the most important reasons, after all, Li Shimin is actually very lustful.
"The queen's sick body continued to have a high fever, but after several medications, she did not feel good at all, and her cough intensified, and she ...... There are occasional blood stains in the sputum. ”
At this time, they had already walked outside the ward, and through a screen, Imperial Physician Gao's voice was still very low, obviously not wanting Empress Eldest Sun to hear it.
"Anything else?" Li Zhonghua looked at Doctor Gao, who was a little hesitant, and continued to ask.
"I didn't ...... Nothing? Imperial Physician Gao lowered his head and avoided Li Zhonghua's gaze.
"Imperial Doctor Gao, the diagnosis in your heart is not the queen's condition, the medicine stone has been ineffective, and I'm afraid that time is running out, and the deadline is approaching, just around the next few days." Li Zhonghua saw that Imperial Doctor Gao was slow to say the result, so he had to say it for him.
"What? Is there really no way to do the queen's illness? Li Shimin asked in shock, although he had already prepared in his heart, and this day would have to be faced sooner or later, he still had difficulty accepting it for a while.
"Your Majesty......" Imperial Physician Gao also nodded sadly.
"Li Aiqing, you will definitely have a way to save the queen, right? Even the sores that no one in the world can cure, you can cure, and the queen's disease, you can definitely cure it. ”
Li Shimin seemed to grasp the straw that saved his life, and grabbed Li Zhonghua's arm tightly and said.
"Your Majesty!" Li Zhonghua felt that his arm was about to be broken by Li Shimin.
"The minister will help the queen to get the fever down first, and then find a way!"
"You're the boy genius who came up with the idea of using cowpox to prevent smallpox? Do you really have a way to give the queen a fever? Imperial Physician Gao looked at Li Zhonghua and said, his tone looking very excited.
If it was really the way he thought of to control the disease of smallpox, then maybe he really had a way to reduce the fever for the queen.
