Chapter 3 Appendix Surgery

The imperial doctors watched Zhang Xiaolin go in with apprehension, and prayed silently that they must succeed!

Li Shimin followed Zhang Xiaolin and entered the inner hall.

Empress Changsun married Li Shimin at the age of thirteen, and the two fought together, from Princess Qin to the empress, how deep was the relationship between the two? No wonder Empress Changsun had abdominal pain this time, Li Shimin said that if the queen had three longs and two shorts, she would kill all the imperial doctors.

Zhang Xiaolin was also meticulous about this operation, first washed his hands with high-grade liquor, and after drying naturally, he used a small piece of cotton cloth dipped in white wine and carefully wiped it on the stomach of Empress Changsun.

First use a silver needle to pierce into the three miles, the middle belly, the sun and the moon, the period gate and other acupoints for anesthesia, and then decisively take out the knife, cutting the belly of the eldest grandson queen more than four inches.

Empress Changsun, who had been in a coma for a day, woke up with a light sigh under the stimulation of the scalpel.

Because there was no assistant, Zhang Xiaolin's operation relied purely on one person, but fortunately, his basic kung fu was solid, cutting the skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscle layer, fat layer, and peritoneum, and sure enough, at a glance, he saw that the appendix swollen into a duck pear was the size of a pear, clear and transparent, as long as it was slightly touched, it would immediately rupture, and pus would fill the entire abdominal cavity.

Zhang Xiaolin carefully used the fibers torn from mulberry white bark to wrap around the end of the appendix a few times, a few millimeters apart, a few times around, a scalpel cut off from the middle, and his fingers pinched the appendix and gently lifted it out.

When the swollen appendix was lifted out of the abdominal cavity, Zhang Xiaolin's hanging heart finally let go.

The sewing needle was put on mulberry white skin fibers, and the appendix part was meticulously sutured in a purse-shaped shape, and the blood stains in the abdominal cavity were carefully wiped off with white wine on the face, and peritoneal sutures and external sutures began.

After doing all this, Zhang Xiaolin used a piece of small cotton cloth dipped in liquor, pasted it on the wound, pasted it several layers in a row, and then wrapped it around his waist a few times with a clean cotton cloth, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief, and as soon as he looked up, he only felt that it was dark in front of him and fainted to the ground.

Empress Eldest Sun had woken up and didn't moan loudly, just looked at Li Shimin quietly.

"Queen, does it still hurt?"

"Your Majesty, I'm worried about you, it's much better now, although it still hurts, it's not that kind of pain, it's the wound that hurts, it's bearable, and that kind of pain is unbearable. ”

"The heir of the medical saint is really worthy of his name. ”

"Who was that kid just now?"

"He is the grandson of President Zhang of Tai Hospital, and the descendant of the medical saint. ”

"This kid is good, he just fainted, and he needs to be taken care of. ”

"You're like this, and you're still thinking about others. Li Shimin gently stroked the hand of the eldest grandson queen and said lovingly.

"Fortunately, it's a child, otherwise how can I see people with this belly?"

"That's why I let this child have surgery. ”

"It's still thoughtful from the emperor. ”

"Take a good rest and don't speak. ”

When Li Shimin walked out of the inner hall, Zhang Xiaolin had already woken up, but his face was still a little pale.

"Zhang Xiaolin, the queen's operation was successful, right?"

"Very successful, but there are a few caveats to it. ”

"You say. ”

"First, the room should be ventilated and exhaled, and the quilt should not be covered to avoid sweating and contaminating the wound; second, the wound should be wiped with a white wine cotton cloth every day; and third, the wound should be taken to prevent infection. ”

"You prescribe it. ”

Zhang Xiaolin remembered that when he was studying pharmacology in medical school, there were several Chinese medicinal materials that could be called natural antibiotics, so he wrote them down casually: one pound of honeysuckle, half a pound of forsythia, half a pound of skullcap, one pound of raw gypsum, and two taels of Coptis chinensis.

The prescription was handed over to the imperial doctor, and when the imperial doctors saw it, they were immediately shocked, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, this medicine must not be taken." ”

"Oh, but why?"

"First of all, this is not an ancient prescription, and secondly, this dose is too large, dozens of times more than the ordinary dose, and it should never be taken. ”

"Zhang Xiaolin, are you and your heart, do you want the queen to die?" a imperial doctor pointed at Zhang Xiaolin and said viciously.

These cool antidotes basically have no side effects, Zhang Xiaolin naturally knew it in his heart, he didn't argue, just said lightly: "You are prescribing decent ancient prescriptions, but are they useful? As the saying goes, if you are seriously ill, you must use fierce medicine, Your Majesty, so let's decoction two doses each time, Xiaomin takes one dose first, and after an hour, the queen mother can take it again." ”

Zhang Xiaolin himself was willing to try the medicine, and the imperial doctors had to keep their mouths shut.

In ancient times, it was a great rebellion to modify the ancient prescription without authorization, which was equivalent to denying the prescription of the ancient sages.

Even if only one medicine is added to the ancient prescription, it must be operated by the authoritative physician of the Tai Hospital, and the number of doses added must also be discussed by many people in the Tai Hospital, otherwise, due to the adverse reactions caused by taking the formula, the person who added the medicine needs to be fully responsible.

Therefore, doctors are very cautious about modifying ancient prescriptions or adjusting the dosage without authorization, or they are very taboo.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiaolin is just a child, and he is a descendant of the medical saint, and he is willing to try the medicine himself, so the imperial doctors see that it is none of their business, and they are happy to hang high.

Li Shimin doesn't know medicine, he only knows one thing in his heart, this teenage child is definitely much better than this group of wastes in the palace, especially when he heard that Zhang Xiaolin tried every medicine by himself, what else is there to worry about?

Besides, Zhang Gongluo's family of more than 80 people was brought back to the prison, and they sighed one by one: "Alas, how good is it to have a good knife and a good one, do you have to put the entire Ling Chi to death?"

As soon as he thought of Ling Chi's execution, the entire prison was filled with tears.

"Okay, everyone won't cry, maybe God bless my Zhang family, maybe things will take a turn for the better. Zhang Gongluo's younger brother Zhang Gongming persuaded.

"It's useless if other people shout wronged, Xiaolin, this kid hasn't studied medicine yet! It's just the past few days that he has been forced to memorize the theory of typhoid fever for a few days, what do you think will be the result of his trouble?"

Zhang Gongluo suddenly said loudly: "What's the result? Anyway, it's already all over the house, what are you afraid of? In a day or two, maybe the queen will be fine!"

A family of more than 80 people quarreled and shouted in the prison all night, and it was not until the next morning that they fell asleep.

In the morning, the jailer gave some porridge and steamed buns, and at noon, there was actually fish and meat.

Zhang Gong took a look, could it be that the situation was a little better?

Zhang Gongluo's family belongs to the case of the heavens, and they are all locked in a separate prison, and they don't know what happened outside.

There was no news for several days, but they were not escorted to the execution ground.

On the fourth day, Zhang Gongluo was determined that if the disease of intestinal carbuncle had not died for four days, it would have taken a turn for the better! Because under that kind of pain, no one could survive four days.

"Could it be that Xiaolin, this child, cured the queen's mother?" Zhang Gongming is not a doctor, so he guessed.

"Xiaolin, don't worry, he hasn't studied medicine at all, how can he treat the disease? It must be those doctors in the Tai Hospital who came up with a good plan, and Xiaolin just bought time for us. ”

"May it be so, Bodhisattva bless. ”

The family is more than 80 people, and they spend day after day with trepidation, and Zhang Gongluo knows that every day passes, their life is a little bit more. After seven or eight days, my heart settled down, and I was basically sure that the lives of these more than 80 mouths were saved.

After the operation, Empress Changsun took it for a few days in a row according to Zhang Xiaolin's prescription, but there was no infection and inflammation, and on the third day, her intestines were cleared and she could eat.

Zhang Xiaolin has been guarding the palace, regularly changing the queen's dressing every day, checking the pulse, and the eldest grandson queen also likes this child.

Finally, after more than ten days of careful care, the wound healed, Zhang Xiaolin removed the mulberry thread for the queen mother, and said to the queen mother: "You can try to get out of bed and walk around." ”

"Child, thanks to you, if it weren't for you, I would have died of pain. ”

"The queen is auspicious, and she will be fine. ”

"You kid, you really have a good mouth, thanks to you these days. ”

In the eyes of doctors, all living beings are equal, there are only patients and patients, there is no difference between men and women, and there is no distinction between high and low. ”

Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but be stunned, and said thoughtfully: "All beings are equal, regardless of men and women, high and low?"

"Yes, as a true doctor, in any case, the purpose is to cure the sick and save people, and it is a sin to die because of worldly prejudices. ”

"You have a point, come and help me. ”

Zhang Xiaolin smiled shyly and helped the queen mother get off the bed.

"Child, either or you will call me my godmother in the future. Empress Eldest Sun hesitated for a moment and said.

When Zhang Xiaolin heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, but immediately understood, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Zhang Xiaolin has seen his godmother." ”

In fact, Zhang Xiaolin has been worried about this matter in his heart, the queen's belly can be seen by him, although he is not yet an adult, but it is a hidden danger after all, in case the emperor becomes jealous one day, it is really not fun.

It seems that the queen is also thinking about this matter, you are the queen, but her body has been seen by a man other than the emperor, and for more than ten days in a row, Zhang Xiaolin personally disinfected and changed the wound dressing, if you kill him, it is really unbearable, it is better to recognize a godson, which is more or less better.

Zhang Xiaolin knelt on the ground and didn't get up yet, when he heard laughter outside: "Haha, queen, have you recovered? Okay, after tossing for so long, it's finally better." ”

When Empress Changsun saw Li Shimin coming, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine feels fine, thanks to Zhang Xiaolin, this child, it really feels like the rest of her life is a disaster." ”

"See the Emperor. Zhang Xiaolin hurriedly turned around and knelt on the ground.

"Zhang Xiaolin, yes, get up. ”

"Your Majesty, Emperor. ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine made her own opinion, recognized a godson, and asked the emperor to condemn her. ”

"Godson?" Li Shimin's face changed and said, "Who is it?"

"Far away in the sky, close in front of you. The queen covered her mouth and smiled secretly.

"Zhang Xiaolin? Well, the queen has recovered from her illness, Zhang Xiaolin has contributed a lot, I am in a good mood today, since the queen has recognized you as a godson, it is okay, I agreed. After a pause, Li Shimin said to Zhang Xiaolin as if he suddenly remembered something: "In this way, you go to Tianjiao to pick up your grandfather and parents and go back to the house together, after being locked up for so long, it is time to go home." ”
