Chapter 143: When You Are Critically Ill
Outside the gate of the Hou Mansion, Xu Qi, who turned over and dismounted, didn't have time to go to salute his mother, so he got into the tight carriage beside him. Later, with the help of his brother Xu Chu, who followed up, he carried out a stretcher made of simple door panels.
At this moment, there was a thick futon on the stretcher, and the mattress was tightly wrapped, like a mummy, Jiang Qi was lying quietly inside, motionless. Judging from the sallow face that was exposed to the air in an instant, Jiang Qi was not lightly ill.
The protagonist Jiang Qi appeared outside the carriage, which immediately caused a small commotion, and came out after a long time, and the focus of the past two months was finally exposed, and many good people were inevitably excited.
Especially when he saw that Jiang Qi was carried out, the discussion became louder.
If it weren't for the Jin Wuwei guarding him at this moment, maybe many people would want to see if he was dead.
But unfortunately, there is no time for those who watch the excitement to take a closer look. As soon as he got out of the car, after experiencing great changes, Jiang Lin, who was already strong, gently covered him with a blanket to keep out the cold, and the soldiers of the Jiang family raised their shields to cover the unconscious Jiang Qi tightly.
Turning back, the stretcher flew into the gate of the Hou Mansion in a hurry under the opening of the Great Han Dian Wei, and the fast ones were afraid that the Jiang family members did not react.
There is no way, Jiang Qi, who has been in a coma since he entered Hangu Pass, even if he wants to wave his hand to the enthusiastic people of Luoyang, he really has no strength.
Of course, perhaps we can also say that Jiang Qi's guards were frightened by the assassination and did not dare to stay here for a long time, otherwise who would dare to guarantee that there would be no outlaws among the onlookers.
Jiang Qi entered the mansion, the clansmen followed, and soon the lively mansion became deserted.
Now that the protagonists are gone, the onlookers, whether they have a purpose or not, disperse one after another in the discussion. If you have time to look at the empty gate of Jiang Mansion, it is better to go to the tea house to talk about today's experience.
It is conceivable from this that tomorrow's prosperous Luoyang City will surely spread hundreds of anecdotes about Jiang Qi.
The crowd dispersed, and the streets gradually calmed down, except for the Yulin guards who were constantly patrolling, only at that corner, a carriage that had stayed for a long time was more prominent.
A pair of beautiful eyes in the car did not leave the disappearing figure until tears wet the face. Especially when I heard the maid next to me say that a woman in a wedding dress followed in just now.
However, regardless of whether the people in the car have malicious intentions or not, hundreds of Yulin guards are now stationed, and they are not afraid of someone assassinating.
In the Hou Mansion, although the subordinates are gone now, in the face of Jiang Qi, he was actually carried in, and he still looked like a little chicken and dog.
Unexpectedly, the Jiang family was panicked, and when they first heard that Jiang Qi was assassinated, although they thought that someone could die because of this, who would have thought that even Jiang Qi would be a corpse.
In the Jiang family, Jiang Qi is a god-like existence, and no one knows how strong his martial arts are. Now that it has been done, many people think that they are making up their own brains, imagining how fierce the battle was at that time.
It's just that the gap between the truth and the imagination is too big, and the heroic Jiang Qi in the eyes of his family is not injured in a fight to the death, he is a greedy man who is afraid of death and abandons his comrades.
After living in Jiang Qi's mansion for a few days, the Xu Qi brothers didn't need guidance, they trotted and carried Jiang Qi straight to his house.
It's just that hurried look, but it hurts the lady who is carrying the skirt.
Especially Jiang's mother, who didn't see her son's injuries, wiped her tears and followed with a big stride with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Fortunately, at this moment, there is a daughter and Ying'er who have not been seen for a long time by her side to support her left and right, otherwise I don't know how many times I will fall down all the way.
It's not good to say that the mansion is big, as the head of the family, Jiang Qi's bedroom is naturally the main house in the backyard, even if he wants to give it to his mother after moving in, but it has not been successful.
Trotting all the way, until a little out of breath, the largest courtyard of the Hou Mansion welcomed its owner.
I knew that Jiang Qi would come back in two days, and the entire yard was cleaned up by the subordinates sent by Wubao yesterday, and there were even two transplanted plum blossoms, which were refreshing.
It's a pity that no one has the heart to appreciate the exquisite courtyard at the moment, and when Jiang Qi was carried to the couch, a large group of people who hurriedly followed up were about to occupy the quiet and peaceful courtyard.
Naturally, the next moment, the soldiers of the Jiang family became the focus, and they were more or less surrounded by the Jiang family, in addition to concern, they still wanted to know their experience and how Jiang Qi was injured.
When the discussion in the courtyard started, the Jiang family, who ran into the bedroom, saw Jiang Qi's face full of sallow, lack of blood, and more breath and less intake, and the female relatives wept in a low voice.
"Why is your brother like this, Li'er! That martial arts are strong, who hurt him. Compared to the woman who was not assertive and panicked, as the head of the family, Jiang Qun had not lost his rationality in the panic, so he quickly pulled Jiang Lin over and asked.
Obviously, this question is something that everyone wants to know, and immediately even the crying women and children turned their eyes away.
"Hey! It's Li'er who didn't take good care of her brother. My brother was not injured during the war. After the eunuch went to the military camp to deliver the decree that day, the elder brother was angry and contracted a serious illness. All the way back, the weather was freezing and my brother was infected with the wind chill again. Originally, my brother was strong but he could rest on the couch, but before he crossed the Han Valley, he was attacked by Xiao Xiaoxiao, and his brother led us to break through in single clothes. As soon as I arrived outside Hangu Pass, I fainted, and the high fever retreated in one day, and now I have been sleeping for more than two days. In the concerned eyes of his family, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, Jiang Lin said sadly.
"Didn't you see a medical worker? How could it be so serious! Hearing this, his uncle Jiang Haidao, who had a solemn face on the side.
"My uncle didn't know anything, and he was helpless when he consulted with the Chinese medicine officer in Hangu Pass. And the chief medical engineer of our army, who returned with his brother, died outside Hangu Pass, so he quickly returned. As early as in the barracks, the chief medical engineer said that his brother had become ill from overwork and could not work anymore. I didn't think it would be like this today. Without waiting for Jiang Lin to answer, Xu Qi, who was still wiping his sweat, answered and replied.
"Do you know who ambushed you? Both the court and the Chinese government said that Zhang let the thief. Take the captives. Hearing that even the medical workers were killed in battle, Jiang Xi, the third uncle who was on the handrail, asked.
"In addition to the people who followed Jiang Biao's brother to Lishi, there are also the clansmen who are separated in Tianshui, and we have a team of more than 50 people who have passed through Chang'an, and there are only a dozen people left, if it weren't for my brother's quick decision, I'm afraid it would be ......" said that he was attacked by someone, Xu Qi looked left and right, and then smiled bitterly.
When I heard that so many soldiers had died in battle, the sadness in the house was even worse, and some of the clansmen who had not found their relatives turned around and ran away in tears when they heard the bad news.
was just patronizing the sadness, but the people present didn't pay attention to Xu Qi, who was speaking, and his tone didn't seem to be very normal.
"Father, isn't this the time to be sad, didn't the palace send the imperial doctor? Hurry up and let him diagnose and treat Boxiao, now Boxiao's life and death are at stake, and he can't afford to delay. Compared with the sadness of the clansmen, Jiang Xia, who is safe for her son, is more sober, looks at her nephew who is still on the couch, and quickly reminds her sentimental father.
"Yes, yes, yes! Hurry, go, Zhengguang go quickly, and invite Imperial Doctor Xu. Woke up by his daughter, Jiang Qun, who had just been a little distracted, came back to his senses, but there was no time to sigh now, so he hurriedly asked his eldest son to invite someone.
"Sister, don't be careful, Boxiao will get better." When her brother left in a hurry, Jiang Xia looked back and comforted her sister who was sitting on the couch.
"My sister knows that my son will not be easily defeated, he can survive when he is young, how can a small illness hurt him at this moment." Holding her son's unconscious palm, Jiang's mother looked at her motionless son and comforted herself.
"Mother rest assured, my brother will be fine." Jiang Lin, who was covered with dust on the side, also took out a handkerchief to wipe his mother's tears, and persuaded that his calm movements seemed to have matured a lot.
At this moment, perhaps because she was too sad, Jiang's mother, who has always been quick-minded, actually accepted it with peace of mind in the face of such an atmospheric comfort from her daughter, and at the end she held her daughter's hand to encourage each other.
Jiang Hai, who went to find the imperial doctor, went back quickly, in fact, the imperial doctor Xu Cheng was ordered to wait in the house early in the morning, and as soon as he heard that Jiang Qi was back, he followed him, but there was no communication, and he was not good at moving forward on his own.
Of course, Xu Cheng is so active today, it is up to him whether there is anyone behind him to instruct him, and now there are many people in Luoyang who want to know Jiang Qi's condition.
Xu Cheng entered the bedroom, looked at the crowd at the moment, and immediately frowned, and when he got closer, he saw the sick Jiang Qi who was covered with a thick quilt and shook his head and sighed.
"Doctor Xu, why did you come here, but my son is seriously ill?" Xu Cheng entered, and immediately became the focus, and his every move was even more reminiscent, seeing him shaking his head, Jiang's mother couldn't help but be nervous.
It is conceivable that if the imperial physician Ling Du, who treated the emperor, had this sighing expression, it would be good.
But fortunately, Xu Cheng didn't say anything about the lack of pumping, just looked left and right and twisted his white hair and said: "Mrs. Jiang, now that Jiang Junhou is sick, although everyone is concerned, but so many people watching will only affect his condition, disperse quickly, and then open the doors and windows to breathe, it's good." ”
There is no need to explain too much about common sense questions, everyone understands, and immediately Jiang Qun, the head of the family, hurriedly beckoned everyone to leave, leaving only a few close people to wait.
When the crowded room was brightened, Xu Chengfang sat on the soft couch next to the couch, took out the pulse pillow in the medicine box, and cut the pulse.
One finger, two fingers, then three fingers, four fingers, Xu Chengmei, who has been a doctor for half a century, became more and more clustered, and when he changed hands, and after seeing Jiang Qi's tongue coating and eye pupils, he was even more thoughtful.
It is conceivable how the people waiting here feel when they see Xu Cheng like this.
In the end, Jiang Xia, who couldn't stand the torture, said, "Doctor, how is Boxiao??" ”
was disturbed, but Xu Cheng did not answer immediately, but after cutting the pulse again, he opened his eyes that had been squinted for a long time.
Opened his eyes and looked at more than a dozen expectant eyes, twisting his beard and half sounding, Xu Cheng only signaled everyone to tell each other elsewhere.
As Xu Cheng came to the outer hall connected to the bedroom, the voice of anticipation sounded: "You must be mentally prepared, the pulse of the prince is very chaotic, and I am afraid that you will have to rest in bed for a while." ”
"Is my son's life in danger?" Regarding Xu Cheng's answer, Jiang Mu, who obviously didn't believe it, hurriedly asked.
"Madame, rest assured, although the condition is serious, the prince is in good health, and there is no obstacle for the time being, and after the old man prescribes medicine, he will get better after slowly recuperating." Xu Cheng looked left and right and comforted.
"Then Lord Xu, why is Bo Xiao still asleep now?" Jiang Qun, who was still sober, asked.
"Judging from Jiang Junhou's pulse, it should be caused by overwork and cold, and the disease comes and goes slowly, and now it is only after taking two doses of medicine, and then we will see the situation." Xu Cheng said slowly.
"Then there is Mr. Lao, when Boxiao wakes up, my Jiang family will be grateful, Mr. is very gracious." Although he felt that Xu Cheng might not be telling the truth, Jiang Qun still saluted afterwards.
"Rest assured, the Marquis of Yiyang is like this for the country, and it is said that His Majesty will let the lower officials heal wholeheartedly, even if any doctor will not see the pain of the patient. After the old man returns to the palace, he will discuss with the rest of the imperial doctors to see if there is a better treatment method. In the face of Jiang Qun's salute, although the Jiang family has now lost power, Xu Cheng still respectfully returned the salute.
Then Xu Cheng was not verbose, came to the front of the case and worked hard to write straight, and soon a dose of medicine appeared on the white silk.
Seeing the prescription come out, Jiang Lin, who had just been supporting his mother, hurriedly stepped forward to take it, took the prescription and beckoned him to grab the medicine, and sent Xu Cheng out of the house.
After the imperial doctor was diagnosed and left, Jiang Qi lay unconscious again, and the people who were still in the house also came out of the house one after another, and they went to talk. Slowly accepted the fact that Jiang Qi was seriously ill.
Not to mention the clansmen who spoke separately, after enthusiastically guiding Xu Cheng through the two corridors, Jiang Lin, who was surprisingly calm today, saw that there was no one left and right, and unexpectedly stopped Xu Cheng and said: "Lord Xu, it was thanks to you that Luo'er was born last time, and the kindness of the adults to the Jiang family, Lian'er remembers it deeply, but why do adults hide my brother's illness today." ”
For Miss Jiang Lin's body, Xu Cheng was curious, and at this moment, Xu Cheng couldn't help but be a little embarrassed about Jiang Lin's actions and words: "What does Miss mean?" Why did the old man hide Yi Yanghou's condition. ”
"Sir, maybe I don't know, my brother also knows a lot of medical skills, Li'er has been studying for a long time, and he was also a medical worker in the army a few days ago, and what is my brother's condition, Li'er knows a little." Regarding Xu Cheng's flickering, Jiang Lin was even more certain.
"Since the young lady knows, why bother." Seeing that Jiang Lin didn't look like he was cheating, Xu Cheng was silent for a moment and sighed.
"The adult is the imperial doctor, the head of the imperial doctor in the palace, has been practicing medicine for many years, and can be described as a bull's ear in the Han Dynasty. Jiang Lin listened to Xu Cheng's relief and hurriedly asked.
"Well... The old man was dissatisfied with the young lady, the young lady should cut the pulse of the prince, and the old man checked it repeatedly, the pulse of the prince and the prince was like a gossamer, and there was a retrograde appearance, although this was not a dead pulse, but it was a sign of critical illness. Xu Cheng took two shallow steps and said in a deep voice.
"It's so serious, can it be saved?" Hearing that he was critically ill, Jiang Lin asked disrespectfully and excitedly.
"Miss should be prepared, the illness of the prince is very serious, and it may be like a fold. But the young lady knew that Junhou had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his body was easy to be an ordinary person, although he was seriously ill, he was not completely out of the possibility of treatment, as Fang Cai said, take two doses of medicine first and then observe. Xu Cheng said truthfully.
"Then please bother Mr. Lao, my brother's illness will bother Mr. Lao." Hearing that Xu Cheng's tone was not hidden, Jiang Lin hurriedly saluted.
"Miss is polite, the old man will come back tomorrow for a follow-up. Miss doesn't have to send it anymore, the old man has to go back to the palace to reply. "Everything that can be said has been said, and Xu Cheng returned the courtesy.
As Xu Cheng slowly disappeared at the end of the corridor, Jiang Lin, who withdrew his eyes, did not have the nervousness of Fang Cai, even if he knew the bad news that his brother was seriously ill. Then, a smile unexpectedly appeared.
It's a pity that the smile didn't appear for a long time, and after Jiang Lin heard a few whispers on the way back to the house, a wave of anger replaced him.
