However, what was a little surprising was that Huang Zuluo did not accompany Xue Fucheng to visit the machine factory as promised in advance, and Master Chen of Daotai Mansion hurried to tell Lu Hong early the next morning that Xue Fucheng suddenly fell ill and was very ill.

After Master Chen hurriedly relayed the news to Lu Hong, he left in a hurry, and Huang Zuluo also arranged for him to invite a Western doctor from the concession church, in this era, Western medicine is not a new thing in Shanghai in the Far East, but in the eyes of the Chinese people, today's Western doctors are quite accomplished in minor surgery, and when it comes to consultation and medicine, it is still more effective in traditional Chinese medicine......

Therefore, as soon as Master Chen left, Qin Tianmin, who happened to be asking Lu Hong for advice on how to operate the machine factory, immediately interjected, "Brother Lu, yesterday this Lord Xue was quite serious to you, let's hurry up and prepare a few supplements to pay a visit!" ”

However, Lu Hong's expression was a big surprise to him, as if he was thinking about something, he didn't hear him speak at all, and after a while, Lu Hong looked at him sideways and said, "Brother Qin, you hurry up and prepare this gift, let's leave now!" ”

Watching Qin Tianmin pacing out diligently, Lu Hong's expression became more solemn at the moment, and the history he knew seemed to have not changed, as far as he knew, in the original history, this Xue Fucheng suddenly contracted a sudden illness in Shanghai after returning from the United Kingdom, and then this important minister who was also bent on going to Beijing to declare to the imperial court what he had seen and thought in Europe for many years drove west.

He immediately returned to his room, and carefully found the small military first aid kit that had been with him for a long time, which he had always carried with him, but he was a layman in medicine, although perhaps in terms of medical knowledge, he might surpass any of the medical giants of this era, but, in terms of details, he was not even as good as ordinary Chinese medicine practitioners.

Therefore, half an hour later, Lu Hong had already taken Qin Tianmin to appear outside a private residence of Huang Zuluo, where Xue Fucheng temporarily lived...... It turned out to be his eldest son Xue Yiyun and Master Chen of Daotai Mansion who came out to greet him.

Xue Yiyun had never seen Lu Hong, and Master Chen next to him naturally immediately introduced him, and his father suddenly fell ill, and his natural expression was quite trance, and he introduced Lu Hong into the inner hall, and after sitting down, he also had a sad face.

On the other hand, Master Chen was obviously entrusted by Huang Zuluo to help, so he naturally introduced it on his behalf, "Lord Lu, this famous doctor Chen Lianfang has already come to check the pulse for Lord Xue, and he said in private that this disease is menacing, and it is difficult to treat it if it were not for the fierce medicine, but the adults have traveled a long distance and are not in good health, and it is difficult to suppress the surname of the medicine, so they are quite anxious......"

Lu Hong sighed softly, this Master Chen's words relayed by this famous doctor in Shanghai are very clear, but this Chinese medicine statement, it is really difficult for him, a layman, to understand anything, so he opened his mouth and asked: "Master Chen, I saw Master Xue coughing repeatedly, but because of this, the emergency was triggered?" ”

"This ......" Master Chen obviously didn't ask this question, naturally he didn't know the result, he immediately beckoned to a maid at the door, and only after two sentences of instructions did he say: "Lord Lu, this Doctor Chen also went to Beijing to diagnose the emperor's pulse, if you have any questions, you should ask him directly!" ”

Dare to love this Chen Lianfang is in the house, which saves Lu Hong's foot strength, he asked about inviting a Western doctor, but unexpectedly it caused Xue Yiyun to sigh repeatedly, and after careful questioning, the news he heard made Lu Hong quite surprised.

It turned out that Master Chen did invite Hepburn, a famous doctor from the church hospital in the British Concession, and this American from the American Presbyterian Church brought some really advanced gadgets - a pressure blood pressure monitor and mercury thermometer to measure Xue Fucheng's blood pressure and body temperature on the spot, but after some auscultation, the Yankees did not find the reason for Xue Fucheng's serious illness.

Just when Lu Hong and Xue Yiyun were talking, a sturdy old man in his fifties outside the door had already walked in quickly, Xue Yiyun and Master Chen saw this, and immediately got up to greet him, while Lu Hong followed behind, this must be the famous Shanghai doctor Chen Lianfang......

"Xue Gongzi, the foreigner's diagnosis and treatment can have results...... Ling Zun's body is quite heavy, I went back last night and thought about it all night, and then carefully checked the pulse for Ling Zun, it should be cold into the lungs, although there is no good prescription, but to alleviate the symptoms, there should be some certainty! The old man stroked his beard lightly, and got to the point very seriously.

This was the only good news Xue Yiyun had heard in the past two days, he immediately put Chen Lianfang in the upper position, and continued with a nervous expression, "Divine Doctor Chen, why is my father's condition so menacing, please treat it carefully......

Chen Lianfang saw Xue Yiyun's expectant expression, and naturally understood the other party's thoughts, however, he was a member of the Chen family, and he practiced medicine in the third world, so he naturally knew that this medical treatment was no better than others, and he was sure of it, he was very clear, and immediately added, "Xue Gongzi, Ling Zun's illness, the old man is really not very sure, he can only do his best, in addition, Ling Zun can't be in charge of state affairs, he should be careful to recuperate!" ”

Xue Yiyun nodded hurriedly, although Lu Hong listened to it for a long time, he really didn't understand that this old Xue's problem was a miracle, the morphine and hemostatic drugs in his military first-aid kit were obviously useless, but the other few quinolone antibiotics and morpholinoguanidine hydrochloride antiviral tablets were obviously his killer features, but he pondered for a while, and he didn't figure out how to communicate with Chen Lianfang!

So I had to stand next to me and watch the miracle doctor write a herbal prescription with a splash of ink, and Xue Yiyun excitedly took the prescription and took people out to grab the medicine, he seized the opportunity to ask Chen Lianfang, Xue Yiyun was not present, this is more thorough, Chen Lianfang didn't hide anything, his decoction is just to strengthen the body, heat dissipation and detoxification, hoping to relieve it and then take another medicine for treatment.

He also said directly that Xue Fucheng is an emergency, and the patient's physical condition is not good, it is really unlucky, if the condition can be eased, the hope of recovery will be greatly increased, but he is not optimistic about this at present...... In the inner room just now, Chen Lianfang also carefully questioned the American doctor Hepburn, and the Yankees obviously did not have a way to alleviate it.

After Chen Lianfang sighed, he told Master Chen a few words, sighed and left, but Lu Hong had no intention of leaving, under the guidance of Master Chen, he personally went to the back room to visit Xue Fucheng.

At this point, an American doctor in his thirties was sitting in the doorway, holding a thick book in his hand as if looking for something, apparently this was the American Presbyterian doctor Herbane.

Seeing Master Chen coming, Hepburn got up and said in a broken Chinese, "Chen...... I recommend...... Delivered to ...... Hospital...... Surgery! ”

In this era, although Western medicine has widely used anesthetics such as chloroform, and has a certain understanding of infections caused by germs, the mortality rate of Western medicine surgery is still as high as six or seven percent...... It can almost be said that when you are sent to the operating table, almost half of them are dead!

Seeing Master Chen's blank expression, he immediately vetoed loudly in English: "Dr. Hepburn, until there is no safety guarantee for surgery, patients cannot undergo surgery!" ”

Hearing that Lu Hong spoke fluent English and seemed to have a London accent, Dr. Hepburn was also very surprised, and immediately explained: "Lord Xue has been having a high fever for a day, and his breathing has been very rapid, and it may turn into an untreatable lung disease at any time, which will eventually lead to difficulty breathing!" ”

This news was obviously beyond Lu Hong's expectations, and now he was waiting for Chen Lianfang's decoction, or he was going to hurry up, which made Lu Hong also fall into deep thought.
