Song Yi

Chapter 258 The little prince is critically ill

Eunuch Lai was startled, this remark seemed to kill people.Eunuch Lai thought that Chen Meiren would spare this half-century old man because of Fu He's tight mouth. After all, Fu He had always obeyed this woman and had not betrayed her.

Now that Chen Meiren didn't speak clearly, Eunuch Lai hesitated for a moment, but decided to ask to clarify, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, what do you mean...?"

Chen Meiren turned her head and glanced at Eunuch Lai.

Seeing the murderous look in Chen Meiren's eyes, Eunuch Lai immediately realized that he had guessed correctly, and lowered his head in fear.

"Hmph, are you soft-hearted?" Chen Meiren asked tiredly.

"No no, the slave's life was saved by the empress, and the slave works for the empress, and I will die!"

"Well, go ahead, be more agile, after all, he has helped Ben Gong with a lot of things, let him walk more simply."

"Yes!"

"Also, the sentence of Du Wenhao in the Supreme Hospital caused me trouble. It's really annoying. Let him go too. Be natural. It's better to have some small accident or something. Don't worry about it. arouse suspicion."

"Yes, Madam, don't worry, the old slave will definitely handle it properly."

Eunuch Lai was about to leave when Meiren Chen asked again, "How is your sister's dowry prepared?"

"If you go back to your mother, the money you gave last time is already enough to buy her a dowry."

Chen Meiren showed a kind smile, and said softly: "When you come back after completing this matter, I will give your sister some more jewelry. Women, it's only once in a lifetime that you have a good time, so you have to do it decently."

Eunuch Lai hurriedly bowed to express his gratitude.

------------

Du Wenhao hasn't been at home with his wife Pang Yuqin for a long time. Recently, because the Empress Dowager asked him to investigate the matter of Chen Meiren, he has no skills at all. Sometimes he secretly regrets going to the palace to practice medicine.

There is no urgent errand in the palace today, so Du Wenhao decided to have lunch with his family.

Naturally, Pang Yuqin had to cook a few stir-fries for Du Wenhao herself.Du Wenhao was going to help out in the kitchen, but Pang Yuqin pushed him out because he said that a man is useless in cooking.Said that as long as the concubine Lianer helps.Lian'er is ingenious and good at cooking. With her help, Du Wenhao couldn't get in the way, so he had to talk about it.

These days, Yan Miaoshou and Hantou have made great progress in modern medical knowledge under the guidance of Du Wenhao, and the women's department Xue Fei'er and Pang Yuqin can also deal with most common diseases.In addition, no money was charged, knowing that Du Wenhao was very busy recently, and often took time to come to Wuweitang to help with difficult and miscellaneous diseases, so except for abdominal surgery, there were almost no medical cases that could not be solved for Du Wenhao.But he hasn't come these two days, and he doesn't know what he's busy with.

Du Wenhao was also rarely free, he didn't want to find trouble by himself, and the meal would have to wait for a while, so he took the little tiger to wander around the house.Go to Lin Qingdai's room.

Lin Qingdai was working as a female worker on the chair under the porch in front of the door. When she saw Du Wenhao, she was very happy, she put down her work and came up to her: "Wen Hao, why are you here so free today?"

"I miss you!" Du Wenhao didn't have a good chat with this beautiful sister for a long time, and his heart was itchy.

Lin Qingdai rolled his eyes at him: "Slick tongue!" But her heart was sweet.

Du Wenhao leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Sister, shall we go inside?"

"What are you doing?" Lin Qingdai blushed knowingly and asked.

"I want to kiss you!"

"Virtue!" Lin Qingdai looked around, "The servants are all in the garden, how bad it is to see."

"Then people miss you."

"Isn't it good to talk!" Lin Qingdai coaxed him softly, "When my filial piety expires and I perform the ceremony of civil engagement, it will be enough for you to kiss me, okay?"

"Yeah!" Du Wenhao nodded after listening to her soft words, embarrassed to play tricks again.Let her sit down, took a small stool and sat next to her, looked up at her: "Sister Qingdai, why are you looking so bad these days, did you not have a good rest?"

Lin Qingdai nodded with a smile, and said: "It's probably because I'm old, I can't sleep deeply, I wake up at the slightest movement, and when I wake up, I have to stare and wait for the dawn."

"What's old... huh? Insomnia? Why didn't you say it earlier! I'll give you a pulse!"

Du Wenhao stretched out his hand to grab her hand, but Lin Qingdai dodged it lightly, blushing and said: "Don't touch me, can it work? This is not an ordinary disease, and it can't be cured by medicine!"

"What? Isn't it a common disease? What kind of disease is that?"

"Heart disease!" Lin Qingdai touched her heart, "I'm sick here. It's all your fault!"

Du Wenhao was overjoyed: "It turns out that you want me to be sick, so I'll rub it for you!" He reached out to touch her towering breasts.

"Damn you!" Without even thinking about it, Lin Qingdai raised her hand to catch his wrist and twisted it lightly. Du Wenhao's arm was twisted over by her, and he bent over and couldn't move. Ouch, he cried out in pain.

Lin Qingdai quickly let go of his hand, helped him up, blushed and scolded: "Does it hurt?"

Du Wenhao moved his wrist, and said angrily: "Of course! It hurts to death! You are so cruel!"

"Who told you to act unruly!" Lin Qingdai whispered, looked around, and begged in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Du Wenhao smiled: "Actually, it doesn't hurt that much. I know your subordinates are careful. Hehe, by the way, what kind of kung fu are you, so powerful?"

"Separate muscles and wrong bones!"

Du Wenhao was taken aback, thinking, isn't this the trick of the scholar among Du Wenhao's six masters in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?Could it be that I really traveled to Jin Yong's novels?After thinking about it again, I immediately felt relieved, this is actually a grappling technique called in modern society.I couldn't help thinking about it, thinking that in order to subdue Wu Jieyu who went crazy earlier, I really spent a lot of effort and risked my life.If I knew how to capture at that time, things would have been much easier. Although I had the soft armor for self-defense that the Empress Dowager gave me, but I lacked offensive skills, and I am afraid that danger will be inevitable if I work for the Empress Dowager in the future.It's better to have some kung fu.

At my age, it's too late to learn kung fu from scratch, and I don't have that much free time, it's just for self-defense, and learning grappling is the most suitable.Then he said: "Sister Qingdai, can you teach me how to use my muscles and bones, will you?"

"You are a sixth-rank official now, and you are not a knight-errant who walks the rivers and lakes. Why do you learn this thing?"

"Self-defense, if you encounter bad guys and you're not by my side, it's always good to know a little bit of kung fu."

"That's right, okay, I'll teach you. The division of tendons and bones is too complicated. Your main purpose is self-defense, so you don't need to learn it all. I'll just pick the simple and effective ones and leave them to you. You are very familiar with acupuncture points. Learning this kind of kung fu is the most suitable."

"Great, yes, the empress dowager rewarded me with an invulnerable self-defense soft armor, which can also counterattack with barbs. So the defense of the upper body hardly needs to be considered, and you can choose tactics based on this."

When Lin Qingdai heard it, she was very curious and asked him to show it. Sure enough, she said happily: "This is really a treasure! In this way, you will take advantage of it. Let me think about which tricks are most suitable."

Lin Qingdai was gifted and intelligent, and soon based on Du Wenhao's solid foundation in traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and moxibustion, accurate acupoint recognition, and soft hedgehog armor for self-defense, she selected some simple and practical tricks from the hands of tendons and bones and gave them to Du Wenhao.

These tricks are simple and practical, and Du Wenhao knows human anatomy, so he learned it quickly by drawing inferences from one instance.I called a few servants to serve as sparring partners, practiced it a bit, and it turned out to be very clever and effective.Once the moves are learned, there is no need for repeated practice to master them.

Du Wenhao was having fun practicing with a few servants, when Yingzi came to ask him to eat.

Du Wenhao and Lin Qingdai came to the dining room, and a table of exquisite dishes was ready.Lin Qingdai pointed to a table of delicacies, and said enviously: "Yuqin is still capable, and after a while, the table will be full of delicious food, but it seems inappropriate for Wen Hao not to drink some wine for such a good dish?"

Du Wenhao gulped down his saliva, and said awkwardly: "Thank you, Sister Qingdai, for your kindness, there are still things to do in the palace this afternoon, so it's better not to drink too much."

Lian'er took some food for Du Wenhao, and said with a smile: "The master is really busy recently, so don't drink if you don't drink. When you are free, Lian'er and Madam will cook some good dishes, Let's drink two cups with Grandpa."

Pang Yuqin said: "Yeah, he doesn't drink, let's have some. I haven't had a drink for a long time, and I'm a bit hungry."

Du Wenhao gave her a fake look, and said, "Hey, do you want to be greedy for me? If I don't drink it, you don't even want to drink it!"

Pang Yuqin burst out laughing: "Okay! Don't drink! The wine at home is not good. By the way, when my mother gave birth to me, my father buried many altars of daughter red, saying that the wine was delicious. , It's a pity that when I married you, my husband, the wine was buried in the backyard of the old house in Dongda County, my hometown, and I didn't take it out. It's a pity."

When Du Wenhao heard Nurhong, Du Wenhao's heart skipped a beat, thinking of Lin Jieyu, the two of them enjoyed plum trees and drank under the plum tree that day, and what they drank was Nurhong.It's a pity that just at the beginning, because Wu Jieyu was murdered by Fu He, she went crazy and rushed to seek treatment. That day, Lin Jieyu said a word, I will wait for you until the palace is closed at night.However, I have been busy with how to rescue Wu Jieyu and deal with Chen Meiren, so I forgot about it.Now that I think about it, I feel abrupt beauty.

Thinking of this, Du Wenhao immediately stopped talking, lowered his head and buried his head in his meal. Pang Yuqin and others didn't know why he suddenly stopped laughing when he was talking and laughing. No more joking.

After dinner, Du Wenhao came to the harem in a sedan chair.

He was ordered to serve as a doctor, if he wanted to do something, he would be busy, but he didn't want to now, what he was thinking about was the daughter Hong who was in those pots!I just drank a few sips, but thinking about it now, I always feel itchy in my heart.

However, he couldn't help himself now, because he had just entered the palace, and the eunuch and maid of Chen Meiren who was waiting at the door invited him to Chen Meiren's Tianyan Palace to treat the empress.

Although there is evidence to prove that Chen Meiren ordered Fu He and Chen Po to take advantage of the opportunity of seeing a doctor to murder Wu Jieyu, but the Empress Dowager did not pursue it, so Chen Meiren's life remained the same.Chen Meiren's illness has long been cured, but she still bullies Du Wenhao to let him help with the massage and gossip.

He originally thought that Chen Meiren would ask him something about Wu Jieyu, but Chen Meiren didn't say a word about it, as if she didn't know about it at all.Just rambling and saying some irrelevant things.

Du Wenhao wanted to leave but couldn't, so he had to accompany her and listen to her chatting in a dull manner.Until an eunuch excitedly ran in to report that the emperor had finished discussing military affairs, and said that he would visit Tianyan Palace tonight, and he was about to arrive.Only then did Chen Meiren dance with joy, she immediately jumped up and began to dress up, and waved Du Wenhao to let go.

It was already evening when Du Wenhao came out of Tianyan Palace, and it was less than half an hour before the palace gate was closed.It was too late to drink, but thinking of the winter plum blossoms in Yueqing Palace twice, thinking of the fragrant daughter red under the plum tree, and thinking of Jieyu Lin Yue who is as elegant as a fairy in the Moon Palace, Du Wenhao decided to go to Yueqing Palace to see Look, I left in a hurry last time, and I haven't been there again.

When he walked out of the gate of Tianyan Palace, the old eunuch who guarded the gate smiled and bowed and said, "Master Du, are you leaving? By the way, there is a maid in Yueqing Palace waiting for you."

"Yueqing Palace?" Du Wenhao was taken aback, he was going to Lin Jieyu's place, but they sent someone here first, and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter?"

"That's right..., hehe, someone is sick, and I have to wait for you to see the doctor. Earlier, the beauty empress explained that when Mrs. Du was treating her illness, no one else was allowed to disturb her. The emperor also said so Come on, so this old slave didn’t dare to inform you.”

Du Wenhao said angrily: "What are you doing! Your mother's illness has been cured long ago... Forget it, where are you?"

"I'm waiting in the flower hall."

"Hurry up and take me there!"

When I came to the waiting flower hall of Tianyan Palace, I saw a little maid running around in a hurry, her eyes were red, obviously she had just cried.Du Wenhao knew this court lady, she was Lin Jieyu's personal maid named Xuelian.When she saw Du Wenhao coming in, she greeted him in surprise. Before she could say anything, tears were streaming down her face like a river: "Master Du! Woooooo..."

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"The little prince is ill, very seriously ill! The empress is dying of anxiety. They didn't report it, woo woo woo..."

Lin Jieyu and Song Shenzong have two sons, the youngest son is just over one year old and just able to walk.When Du Wenhao heard that the little prince was ill, there was nothing he could do to treat pediatrics by himself, so he said anxiously: "Why don't you go to the Grand Hospital to find my apprentice Qian Yi? He is the best at pediatrics!"

"I went to find it! Mrs. Qian was sent out of the city by Mrs. Chen Meiren yesterday to see a doctor for a relative's child."

"What? Why such a coincidence?" Du Wenhao couldn't help turning his head to look at Tianyan Palace, and asked again: "What about the pediatrician of the other imperial hospital?"

"I've found it! I've come here several times, but they haven't been cured. The empress is going crazy. Let us come to you!"

"It's useless to look for me, I don't know how to see pediatrics." Du Wenhao smiled wryly.

"I heard from the people in the Tai Hospital, but my lady wants you to think of a way to see if you can get Master Qian back!"

"This kind of thing is waiting for me? You just send someone to find him! The one who is sick is the prince, and it is much more important than Chen Meiren's relatives."

"Yes, but I don't know where the relatives of Mrs. Chen Meiren live, and there is nowhere to find them! We asked here several times, but they all said they didn't know, and said that Mrs. Chen was resting, and they didn't let us report. Let us Just wait!"

Depend on!Du Wenhao cursed in his stomach, this is gloating!She turned around and walked in, wanting to ask in person, but stopped after walking a few steps, why should Chen Meiren tell herself?She can't wait for this.

Turning around, she asked the maid again: "Where is the emperor? Have you reported to the emperor?"

"I went in the morning. The emperor has been discussing the military situation all day long, so I can't be disturbed. I have already left someone waiting at the door of the meeting hall. I will report when the emperor finishes discussing the military situation."

"Well, the emperor should get the news soon. I heard that the meeting is over. The emperor is about to come to Tianyan Palace." I thought that once the emperor knew that his son was ill, he would probably call all the imperial doctors to come immediately. When you ask about the prince's illness, don't ask me what you don't know, you have to go and see the situation first.Immediately shouted: "Let's go! Go back to Yueqing Palace!"

Although Du Wenhao is not good at pediatrics, after all, he has cured many terminal illnesses in succession during this period. With him around, I always feel somewhat at ease.Xuelian cried and led Du Wenhao to trot to Yueqing Palace.

In the garden of Lin Jieyu's dormitory in Yueqing Palace, there were more than a dozen pediatric physicians from the imperial hospital. After all, he was a prince who was seriously ill, and his status was more important than the child's mother, so it was no joke.It's just that these imperial physicians were all downcast, standing there with their sleeves covered and bowed their heads in silence, obviously nothing happened.

Du Wenhao walked in quickly, and heard Lin Jieyu's cry from the main hall: "My son..., wake up..."

Du Wenhao was taken aback, is it that the child can't do it anymore?After taking a few steps to climb the steps, I heard the weak crying of a child coming from the room, just like a weak kitten.Immediately I felt relieved, fortunately, the child is not dead yet.

The two maids at the door of the bedroom were overjoyed when they saw Du Wenhao, and they bowed their blessings. One of them shouted: "Du Wenhao, Master Du is here!" The other lifted up the curtain and let Du Wenhao in.

The room was also in a mess. Two senior imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital, Xiao Fangmai, were gray-haired and stood aside with bitter faces, sighing. Lin Jieyu was already crying like a tearful person, holding her son tightly for ten The third prince was sitting by the bed crying.Hearing that Du Wenhao was called from outside the door, he stood up abruptly, rushed out with the child in his arms, and bumped into Du Wenhao at the door.

Lin Jieyu cried: "Yunfan, the child is dying! Woooooo..."

It was the first time Du Wenhao was not used to hearing someone call his "word", so he stretched out his hand to pick up the child: "Show me!"

Lin Jieyu carefully handed over the child to Du Wenhao.

Du Wenhao walked to the bed with the child in his arms, put it down gently, and while unbuttoning his clothes for inspection, he asked Lin Jieyu, "Ma'am, what's wrong with the child?"

"The day before yesterday afternoon, the child started to cry and complained of stomach pain. The pain lasted for a while, and then he started to vomit. I hurriedly asked someone to come to the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital. After seeing it, he prescribed medicine, but it didn't improve. I cried. One night, yesterday morning, my face was pale, I didn't eat, and I was sweating all the time. I went to ask the imperial doctor again, but it didn't work. I was anxious and wanted to ask Qian imperial doctor. The imperial hospital said that he was sent by Chen Niangniang early yesterday morning I went to the city to see a doctor for my relatives. I don’t know where I went, and Mrs. Chen couldn’t see her, and I didn’t have a place to ask..."

"I know this, don't worry. Let me talk about the child's symptoms first."

"Oh, good! Just crying, crying and fussing for a while, restless all night, is it vomiting, sweating, yes, there is blood in the stool!"

Du Wenhao's heart sank: "Blood in the stool? What kind?"

"Bright red."

"Where? Let me see!"

The maid on the side hurriedly said: "It has been poured!"

Lin Jieyu said anxiously: "Oh, what can I do!"

"Don't worry, I'll check first." Du Wenhao had already untied the child's clothes, and stretched out his hands to massage and explore the child's abdomen.The child has a distended abdomen.Soon, Du Wenhao's hand rested on the child's right middle abdomen, and felt carefully, he found a sausage-shaped tumor!His eyes lit up, and he pressed the tumor lightly, and the child's crying became louder.

Du Wenhao asked the two old doctors next to him: "How did you differentiate the symptoms?"

The two old doctors glanced at each other, and one of the elders bowed and said, "Reporting to Mr. Du, the old man and others examined him, and the thirteenth prince refused to press because of abdominal pain. Symptoms include vomiting, which is due to blockage of qi movement and abnormal ascending and descending functions of the spleen and stomach. Blood in the stool is due to accumulation of dampness and heat in the lower burnt body, damage to the blood in the intestinal tract, and overflow due to irregularities. Tongue and pulse conditions are also signs of internal dampness and heat After discussing with others, we concluded that the disease that the thirteenth prince is suffering from is the accumulation of dampness and heat caused by intestinal knots."

The intestinal knots mentioned by the imperial physicians are general, including intussusception. These imperial physicians are still very accurate in syndrome differentiation, which confirms Du Wenhao's inference, and asked: "What prescription did you use? What is the effect?" ?”

The older man stabbed another man with a gray beard, the old man coughed lightly, cupped his hands and said: "The prescriptions for low-ranking people are mainly used to clear away dampness and heat, and to clear stagnant organs. The prescription uses Dachengqi Decoction, because the prince's abdominal distension Therefore, I added fried radish seeds, cypress leaves and burnet to stop the bleeding, and white peony root to relieve the pain. Since the consultation the night before yesterday, I have given the little prince four doses of decoction, but there is no obvious Effect."

After all, the two old doctors looked ashamed.
