The prince does not fight for the heir

The luxuriously decorated main cabin was already full of people, especially many internal guards guarding the outside.

After hearing the news, Concubine De, Concubine Yi, Concubine Yue, as well as the two princes Yunqi and Yunyou, Princess Zhiling, Yan Siyun, and Fu Xuechen were all stopped outside the cabin by Zheng Ze.

Emperor Yuan'an and Yunzhen were both inside, one called "queen" and the other called "mother queen", their voices sounded worried and anxious, especially Yunzhen, it seemed that the situation of the queen was very bad, and she could faintly hear her pain groans.

The people who were stopped outside poked their heads to look around, but were blocked by the serving servants inside, unable to see clearly what was going on with the queen, they could only be anxious.

Fortunately, the cabins on the ship are not as large as the houses on land after all, and the loud voices inside can be heard clearly from the outside.

He only heard Emperor Yuan'an calling twice, and then asked quickly: "Prince doctor! What's wrong with the queen?"

The old doctor's voice sounded: "Back to the emperor! According to Yichen's preliminary diagnosis, the empress has heat in the spleen and stomach, stagnant grain qi, and due to the heat and poison, her body is completely yellow. This is also the appearance of glutinous jaundice!"

Emperor Yuan'an was impatient to listen to the imperial physician's explanation, so he interrupted him and asked, "I only ask you, can it be cured or not?"

The imperial physician didn't dare to promise, and only said: "I will try my best!"

Emperor Yuan'an had long been accustomed to the tone of the imperial physicians' speech, so he just urged: "Quickly prescribe the medicine!"

The imperial physician answered "Yes", and not long after, Madam Su came out with the prescription written by the imperial physician, and together with Zheng Ze, rushed to the cabin where the medicinal materials were stored.

Fu Xuechen frowned. She studied science, not medicine, and she didn't know much about Chinese medicine. She didn't understand what kind of disease was glutinous jaundice. Combined with the habit of Chinese medicine to call the intestinal tract the valley path, the queen seemed to be suffering from acute jaundice. stomach ache?
Emperor Yuan'an walked out of the cabin door at this moment, saw so many people outside, and drove them away in annoyance: "It's all gone! Don't get stuck here! The Queen's abdominal pain, although it is an emergency, was treated by the imperial physician. It was getting late, and everyone who had nothing to do with it was given I will go back."

When everyone heard the exact news, they all retreated and left.

Although the onset of acute abdomen is urgent, but with the imperial physician on board, nothing serious will happen. This place is only a day and a half away from the capital, and if we speed up, we can return to the palace in the morning the next day, and we will gather at that time With the power of the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital, if there is no accident, the queen will not be in any serious trouble.

There is only one intestinal disease that cannot be cured by traditional Chinese medicine in this era, and that is acute appendicitis.

If she had this sudden illness, according to the taboo of operating on people in this era, the empress would feel very uncomfortable, and the pain would often become more and more painful. If the pain could not be relieved and healed after a few days, it would cause perforation and infection. , necrosis, then the medicine stone is ineffective and hopeless.

Could the queen have acute appendicitis?Fu Xuechen couldn't help feeling a little regretful, she should have found a way to get penicillin earlier, or encouraged Chinese medicine practitioners to regain Bian Que's and Hua Tuo's surgical skills, but unfortunately, she didn't know much about how to prepare penicillin with local methods, and it would take a lot of time to explore.

At this moment, even if she knows that acute appendicitis can be treated with surgery, she still won't be able to exert herself!She is soft-spoken, and the patient is the mother of a country. Who would listen to her "nonsense" and use a knife on the mother of the country?
I hope that what the queen suffers from is not acute appendicitis, the imperial physicians are superb in their medical skills, and everything will be fine in the end!

Fu Xuechen could only wish in this way, otherwise, Yan Siyun and she were both responsible, and the queen probably caused her abdominal pain by eating too many beans and snacks they brought.

Two days later, the fleet finally returned to the capital.

The empress was carried back to Kun'an Palace while lying in the phoenix. I don't know if it was because the doctor on board the ship was not very good at medical skills. The empress' illness not only didn't get better, but actually got worse.

This is not a joke. Although the queen is still suspected of murdering the emperor's heir and is being punished and grounded, but when encountering such an emergency, no one pays attention to those problems. People are cautious and dare not make mistakes at this time.

Fu Xuechen secretly counted the days, and there are still [-] days left before the teaching period in March, but seeing the hectic atmosphere in the palace, she is not sure whether she will be able to resign and go home smoothly on the day when the period expires.

Living in Huanyuzhai, Fu Xuechen's "teaching" of Yan Siyun was somewhat in name only, the queen was seriously ill, Yan Siyun volunteered to go to Kun'an Palace to attend to her aunt and queen's sickness almost every day, and had no time to study at all.

As for things like Shiji, Fu Xuechen didn't need to accompany her. She became idle in Huanyuzhai, and Princess Zhiling simply invited her to her residence to chat and drink tea from time to time.

Although she doesn't have much affection for the queen, she is the queen mother of the fourth brother Yunzhen after all. Princess Zhiling looks at Yunzhen with a solemn expression every day, and she can't hide her melancholy, and she feels very uncomfortable.

"I heard that the mother's condition is very bad. Now her face is extremely ugly, a little swollen, her temper has become extremely irritable, she always vomits, and often can't breathe... It's terrible!"

Princess Zhiling felt sorry for her, she never expected that so many imperial doctors in the palace could not cure the queen's illness. From the very beginning, it was just dizziness and abdominal pain, and it gradually developed to such a serious level.

Fu Xuechen frowned when she heard this, and she didn't know what symptoms acute appendicitis would develop if it was not treated in time, but the Queen's symptoms seemed to be somewhat different from acute appendicitis.

"Do you have medical books here? I want to read them."

Fu Xuechen simply asked Princess Zhiling to consult medical works, wanting to see how the queen's illness was defined in the classics of traditional Chinese medicine, and whether there was any treatment for acute appendicitis in traditional Chinese medicine.

There were no medical books in Princess Zhiling's house, but she also had the right to enter and exit the Royal Library Pavilion, so she took Fu Xuechen directly to the Library Pavilion.

The queen has always admired Fu Xuechen, treated her very kindly, and is also Yunzhen's mother. If possible, Fu Xuechen would do her best for her. Unfortunately, she has no medical knowledge, so she had to look up medical books and classics to find comfort.

The medical books were neatly sorted in the library, and Fu Xuechen found two or three medical classics on intestinal diseases without any effort, and carefully read them.

According to the descriptions of the symptoms of various intestinal diseases in medical books, Fu Xuechen quickly found the definition of appendicitis in traditional Chinese medicine, which is called intestinal abscess, but she clearly remembered that when she was still on the ship a few days ago, the The imperial doctor's diagnosis of the queen's illness was "grain jaundice".

Appendicitis is intestinal abscess, not gluteus jaundice?Fu Xuechen was startled, and quickly searched for the relevant description of Gu Jun.

"The grain qi does not disappear, the stomach is bitter and turbid, and the turbid air flows upward...According to this, those who eat broad beans and hurt the spleen and stomach and cause jaundice should belong to the category of "grain jaundice"...The body is yellow, which is called glutinous jaundice."

Fu Xuechen's eyes gradually widened, she was wrong!The queen's illness was not acute appendicitis, but fava bean disease caused by eating broad beans!This disease is called "grain jaundice" in Chinese medicine!
According to the description in medical books, there are different degrees of severe and severe cases of glutathiona. Mild cases can be cured, but whether severe cases or emergencies can be cured depends on the destiny. No matter how powerful an imperial doctor is, severe fava bean disease cannot be cured.

Fu Xuechen closed the medical book, not daring to read any more. She remembered that day Yan Siyun brought many snacks made of broad beans to visit the queen, and several people accompanied the queen, eating snacks and playing cards...

She didn't know what gluttony was, but she knew what favism was.

Broad beans are a very common food. Most people will be fine if they eat broad beans. At most, if they eat too much, they will have a stomachache. However, there is a genetic disease that occurs in a small number of people, because of the lack of certain enzymes in the body, These people are similar to broad bean allergies. They cannot eat broad beans, and they will fall ill if they eat them. In mild cases, they will vomit and suffer from abdominal pain, and in severe cases, they will be fatal.

Faba bean disease cannot be detected before the onset. If the queen has never eaten broad bean products, or does not eat much, then she will not know clearly that she has favism.

So did Yan Siyun know that the queen had broad bean disease?Did she do it on purpose, or unintentionally?

Fu Xuechen couldn't think about it.

In the Kun'an Palace, the queen's face was gray and swollen. At first glance, she looked like a zombie that had been soaked in water for many days. She fell into a coma for a while, and woke up in pain for a while, like a prisoner who had been tortured. save.

Yan Siyun stayed at the end of the couch, and after feeding a few mouthfuls with great difficulty, handed the remaining medicinal liquid that was gradually cooling down to the side of Mother Su to take it away, then took the handkerchief from the little palace maid, and gently wiped the queen's forehead cold sweat.

"Oh! Unexpectedly..." The queen panted with difficulty, and said in a voice like a gossamer: "It's actually you, the child, who has always insisted on...serving by Bengong's side..."

"Your Majesty, take care of your illness. There are so many imperial doctors in the palace treating you. You will be fine!" Yan Siyun looked at the Empress with a smile, and said after a while: "When my mother left, she was already terminally ill. With good conditions, you are much luckier than my mother to have so many and such brilliant imperial doctors who saved her life!"

The queen frowned, Yan Siyun's words sounded like something was wrong, but unfortunately, she was in pain all over her body, exhausted and unable to concentrate on thinking about anything.

Just at this time, a report from the servant came from outside: "The emperor is here——His Highness is here——"

Soon, Emperor Yuan'an showed up in Kun'an Palace with Yun Zhen, and they rushed over immediately.

As soon as Yunzhen entered the door, he called out with concern: "Mother!"

The queen glanced at him, then turned to Emperor Yuan'an: "Shu Chenqie can't see the ceremony..."

"It doesn't matter!" Emperor Yuan'an said, waving his hand and avoiding Yan Siyun and other people in the room.

Yan Siyun stepped aside, and Emperor Yuan'an took advantage of the situation and sat on the edge of the couch, staring at the empress with complicated eyes, the empress wanted to say something, but couldn't speak, her eyes darkened, but she passed out again.
