Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 77
There was a stove burning in the small room, and on the bed lay Lan Xian'er with a waxy complexion and a towel on her forehead. Because of the fever, she was weak all over, but fortunately she was still conscious.

As for the reason for her sudden fever, Lan Xian'er seemed a little confused. It stands to reason that she had already taken wound medicine, so there shouldn't be any problems. As for the cold and the like, she had almost never had it since she practiced martial arts.

But Zhu Qi vaguely had a bad premonition, he had a fever after being injured, could this be an infection of the wound?

Zhu Qi called Shopkeeper He and told him to find a doctor quickly.

Shopkeeper He is a little bit embarrassed, I don't know where to find a doctor in the middle of the night, there was no 24-hour hospital in the Hongwu era.

The imperial hospital in the palace is open 24 hours, but the palace is closed. After closing at night, no one except the emperor can enter or leave, Zhu Qi is no exception even if he is the prince.

Shopkeeper He thought of a person at this time, and hurriedly said:
"Your Highness, there seems to be a doctor living in our Royal Entertainment Center. He seems to be quite famous today. His surname is Liu. How about I invite him to have a look?"

As soon as Zhu Qi heard that there was a Langzhong, he didn't say much, so he asked Shopkeeper He to invite someone quickly.

Shopkeeper He hurried over, but Zhu Qi held him back and asked Gao Jin to stuff 50 taels of silver and take it to him. After all, he was called up to see a doctor in the middle of the night. Even if he is a prince, he still has to pay the benefits in place.

Not long after, shopkeeper He brought someone over. The person who came was an old man in his sixties with gray hair and wrinkled face, looking a little tired.

When Zhu Qichu saw this person, he felt a little familiar, but after a while, he didn't match up with the person in his memory, but he still said very politely:

"It's really not right to disturb the old man in the middle of the night. It's just that Xiao Wang has a patient here. He suffered a trauma before, and now he suddenly has a fever. He can't find any medical skills in a while. I heard that the old man is famous for his medical skills. Please invite the old man In line with the heart of a doctor and a parent, sir, please help me take a look."

Zhu Qike finished politely. According to the usual doctor, he knew that His Highness Liao Wang had invited him and gave him another 50 taels of silver. At this time, he must be very excited and immediately came to help see the doctor, but the old man smiled and asked a question :
"Your Highness doesn't know the old man?"

Zhu Qi was taken aback, did he and he know each other before?At this time, Gao Jin hurriedly said:
"Your Highness, this gentleman also confiscated the 50 taels just now."

Before Zhu Qi could speak, Mr. Liu waved his hand with a smile and said:

"It's not that I don't want to accept it. It's just that it's too expensive to charge 50 taels of silver for one visit. If His Highness really wants to give it, then I'll give you two taels of silver."

Zhu Qi felt that this person was quite honest, so he would reward him later, and hurriedly took Mr. Liu to Lan Xian'er's side.

Lan Xian'er, who was having a fever and couldn't sleep, frowned when she saw a doctor coming, as if she was not happy to let Mr. Liu check her wound, but told Mr. Liu that she had treated the wound, and went to the hospital as well. I have taken the medicine for the wound, so there is no need for further treatment.

Mr. Liu asked how to deal with it, and Lan Xian'er answered one by one, saying about removing the open flesh, applying medicine, etc. Zhu Qina was terrified when he said it.

Just now in the house, is this how Lan Xian'er treated her wounds?Why didn't I hear a cry?Hua Tuo's Mafeisan in the Han Dynasty has long been lost. There is no anesthetic these days.

Mr. Liu seemed to agree with Lan Xian'er's treatment method, and asked if he could see the wound medicine. Lan Xian'er hesitated for a while, but took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it to Mr. Liu.

Mr. Liu opened the porcelain bottle, took a look, sniffed it, poured some out, wiped it on the back of his hand, nodded, and said:
"It's really good medicine."

Since Mr. Liu saw no problem with the wound treatment method and the application of medicine, Mr. Liu stopped looking at the wound, and started to take the pulse for Lan Xianer, and then wished Lan Xianer a good rest , exited the room.

Zhu Qi also came out and asked eagerly:

"Doctor, how is it?"

Old Mr. Liu shook his head, said an ancient Chinese saying that Zhu Qi couldn't understand, and summed it up in three words - ulcer disease.

Simply put, it is a wound infection that causes a fever.

Wound infection was a very dangerous and serious disease in ancient times, basically waiting for death.

Wound infection was basically a terminal illness in the ancient world. It was not until the discovery of antibiotics that the fatality rate of wound infection was greatly reduced.

Although Zhu Qi himself has never studied medicine, he also knows some simple medical knowledge. In terms of modern medicine, he must be No. 1 in China and abroad.

Indeed, as Mr. Liu said, if this continues, Lan Xian'er will surely die. Fortunately, there is Zhu Qi in this world, and the backpack that came with him.

There are some first-aid medicines in the backpack, including antibiotics for treating infections, whether it is a cold or fever caused by bacterial infection or infection caused by trauma, it is definitely very effective.

Knowing what the problem is, it will be easy to solve, Zhu Qi also heaved a sigh of relief, and he no longer has the slightest worry.

Mr. Liu naturally didn't know this, but he sighed and said:
"It's a pity for such a young girl. If the old man guesses correctly, it will be about 20 days. I think she knows this herself. I can hear it just now when I asked."

Zhu Qi hurriedly asked:

"Old gentleman, you mean, the girl in the house knows she has a canker sore, and if it continues to develop, maybe time is numbered?"

Mr. Liu nodded his head, Zhu Qi's expression became weird, and he had already started to make some small plans in his heart.

This Lan Xian'er is definitely not going to die in her own hands, but Lan Xian'er doesn't know, she thought she might die from infection?
Good guy, then I won't take this opportunity to take advantage of others, am I, Zhu Qi, still a man?
The antibiotics must be given to her, but this matter cannot be told to Lan Xian'er, not only did she not tell her, but she also made other arrangements, and soon a series of bad ideas formed in Zhu Qi's mind.

Do whatever you want, No. 1 troublemaker!

The more Zhu Qi thought about it, the more beautiful he became, and he even laughed to himself. Mr. Liu was also a little surprised when he saw this scene, and asked:

"Isn't Your Highness very nervous about that girl? I heard that she has ulcers at this time, so why does Your Highness look very happy?"

Zhu Qi smiled and said:

"How could it be, I'm so sad."
