Chapter 324: Cold Poison
The prince's patience is also running out, and since leaving Nanwan, this sister has often been self-righteous and no longer puts his interests first.
Thinking of this, the prince warned: "You had better not forget your mission, for if you cannot marry, your father will definitely dispose of you to meritorious ministers at will, and then no one will remember that you are a noble princess!" ”
The princess's face changed dramatically, and she stamped her foot unwillingly, trotted back to the room, and slammed the door shut.
"Stupid!" The prince spat out two words angrily, regretting that he had taken this brainless sister out of the house, and no longer expected to be able to use her one day in the future.
Just after breakfast on the second day, Xiao Mu came to pick up Bai Ling.
Bai Wei knew that she couldn't go with her, so she said hello to Xiao Mu and left.
"Concubine Xiao in the palace is my aunt, and since she had the nineteenth princess, she has been suffering from chronic illness. The nineteenth princess is also frail and sickly, and the imperial doctor said that it may be difficult to give birth in the future. ”
After the carriage had traveled some distance, Xiao Mu revealed the identity and situation of the patient.
Bai Ling didn't want to get involved in the palace fight, but it was a matter of whether the patient could be cured, and there were some things that had to be asked.
"Concubine Xiao has a woman's disease? Is the nineteenth princess congenitally deficient, or is it due to other reasons? ”
The Xiao family is a big family, and Concubine Xiao should have been one of the emperor's favorite concubines, which was also to balance the forces of the previous dynasty.
But if Concubine Xiao has an unspeakable illness, I am afraid that it is unlikely that the emperor will even go to her for the night.
Not to mention whether there is a taste or not, even if the emperor cherishes the dragon body, he will not pamper the concubine who has physical problems, no wonder Xiao Mu came to find him.
"When my aunt was pregnant, she was poisoned, and then fell into the water, and it was difficult to save her when she gave birth." Xiao Mu lowered his eyes, and there was no mood swing.
But Bai Ling still noticed that Xiao Mu secretly clenched his fists, which showed that he hated.
"As a healer, I will do my best. But I need you to guarantee as the young master of the Xiao family that no matter what the result of the healing is, I will not be implicated, and the Bai family will not be harmed in any way because of this. ”
Bai Ling faintly had an answer in his heart, so he said the same.
"I swear with my life and as the young master of the Xiao family, no matter what the result of the healing, I will definitely protect Bai Ling and the Bai family." Xiao Mu raised his fingers and swore seriously.
Bai Ling didn't say anything until the carriage went to Zhuangzi outside the city, and the two didn't talk again.
The Xiao family's Zhuangzi is atmospheric, and after entering the manor, Xiao Mu explained:
"My aunt would stay in Zhuangzi for most of the year every year, soaking in the hot springs to relieve the toxins in her body. Unless there is a grand banquet in the palace, there is no need to return to the palace, which is authorized by the emperor. ”
Bai Ling nodded, even more sure that Concubine Xiao's mother and daughter had been poisoned by the cold.
The emperor's privilege is a favor, but not exile?
Although Zhuangzi belongs to the Xiao family, when Concubine Xiao's mother and daughter are there, the Xiao family generally does not come over.
One is so as not to disturb, and the other is that I am afraid that someone will make a fuss about this kind of thing and ruin Concubine Xiao's reputation.
And the courtyard where Concubine Xiao lives is served by public chamberlains and palace maids.
After being reported, Xiao Mu took Bai Ling to see Concubine Xiao.
"The courtiers ask for peace to the mother, the mother is Jin'an." Bai Ling saluted according to the rules and did not pay much attention to Concubine Xiao.
"Ziheng said that your medical skills are excellent, and Qing'er was healed by you. This palace has been stubbornly ill for many years, and if you can't be cured, it doesn't matter, and this palace won't blame you. Concubine Xiao spoke softly, with a little melancholy.
When a woman enters the palace, she shares a husband with many women.
Concubine Xiao's current situation is no different from being a widow, and she is only in her early thirties, so she is so negative.
"Thank you Niangniang, and ask Niangniang to stretch out her wrist and wait for the courtiers to ask for a pulse." Bai Ling opened the medicine box, took out the pulse pillow, and placed it on Concubine Xiao's side.
"Okay." Concubine Xiao stretched out her thin and pale wrist and closed her eyes silently.
Bai Ling closed his eyes and stroked his pulse, frowning from time to time, and Xiao Mu was nervous when he saw it.
After looking at the pulse, Bai Ling looked at Concubine Xiao's face and tongue coating again, and finally asked a few questions.
"The cold poison in Niangniang's body, but soaking in the hot spring has a relieving effect, but it cannot be eradicated. Now that the cold poison has spread to the viscera, if it is delayed any longer, it may be a big problem. However, the cold poison is not incurable, it just takes a long time, and now there is another tricky disease......"
Bai Ling carefully considered the words, and the taboo words could not be spoken.
Glancing at Xiao Mu again, Bai Ling's face showed embarrassment.
"My nephew went to the garden in the back to take a look, and my grandmother wanted apricot blossoms, so I just folded a few branches." Xiao Mu understood, so he got up and said goodbye.
After the door was closed again, Concubine Xiao smiled faintly, "Ziheng trusts you." ”
"The courtiers and Xiao Gongzi have business cooperation, and there is no conflict of interest." Bai Ling explained.
Concubine Xiao didn't continue the meaning of this topic, but asked, "If the county lord has something to say, you might as well speak up." ”
"Niangniang can have dizziness on weekdays, unbearable pain in the lower abdomen during menstruation, abdominal lumps, anemia, lower body bleeding or excessive foreign body and odor?"
Bai Ling asked.
Concubine Xiao covered her lips in embarrassment, and nodded her head lightly.
"If you don't avoid medical treatment, can you let the courtiers have a further in-depth examination?" Bai Ling asked again.
"This ...... How do I check? Concubine Xiao looked at Bai Ling.
"Check the mother's lower abdomen, as well as the private parts." Bai Ling said truthfully.
"How can this be?" Concubine Xiao blushed embarrassedly, "It's not a production, and you haven't left the cabinet yet......"
"Only by determining the condition of the mother, can the courtiers make a detailed treatment plan. And I am a doctor, no matter whether I am married or not, I must do my best when I encounter a patient, and I cannot delay the patient's life because of something. ”
Bai Ling said solemnly.
Concubine Xiao looked at Bai Ling in surprise for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to the inner bed with the palace." ”
The palace maids who were waiting on the side lowered their heads after hearing Bai Ling say how to check.
"Go down first." After changing clothes, Concubine Xiao waved away the palace maid, and her face was still feverish.
"Does it hurt here?" After Bai Ling determined the position of the mass, he performed abdominal pressure as usual.
"Shhh Concubine Xiao gasped in pain.
After checking his abdomen, Bai Ling looked at the hidden place again.
There was no instrument to check, and Bai Ling could only judge by his senses.
"Mother, you can change your clothes."
After Bai Ling cleaned his hands, he said to Concubine Xiao:
"Niangniang's condition is still optimistic, **fibroids...... That is, in the lower abdomen of the mother, there are multiple meat balls, which need to be cut out. Due to the long protracted years of the disease, there is erosion, and the uterine curettage is required at the time of surgery.
The surgery takes about 2 to 3 hours, the stitches are removed about 7 days after the operation, and the woman's illness can be cured after 3 months of rest. But Niangniang has cold poison in her body, and she needs to get rid of the cold poison first, and she can do surgery in about ten days at the earliest. ”
"Surgery?" Concubine Xiao is very unfamiliar with this term.
Bai Ling explained the meaning of surgery and the simple surgical process.
Concubine Xiao's face turned white when she heard this, and Bai Ling said calmly:
"The courtier's daughter had a caesarean section for two women, which was similar to this operation. Both are recovering well, and one of them is younger and can have another child in a few years. ”
Concubine Xiao was silent, and Bai Ling did not urge.
"How sure are you?" When Bai Ling thought that Concubine Xiao was going to refuse, he heard her ask.
"Eighty percent of the surgery is certain, and ten percent of the cold is removed. But the premise is that Niangniang must follow the doctor's advice of the courtier, and the people around Niangniang are credible. Bai Lingdao.
