Chapter 19 Physical Cooling
"Take all the brazier in the room out, and prepare a jar of wine and a clean towel for me. The rest of the irrelevant people will be withdrawn!" Since Zhao Yan decided to treat him, he must be fast, so he planned to use physical methods to lower Zhao Xu's body temperature first to gain time for the imperial doctors in the palace.
As soon as Zhao Yan said something, Cao Ying immediately whispered anxiously: "Are you really planning to treat King Ying? You must know that this is not a trivial matter. If King Ying's condition worsens, you will not be able to wash it even if you jump into the Yellow River, and the entire palace will suffer with you."
Cao Ying is not a selfish person, but as the mistress of the Prince's Mansion, she has to consider hundreds of people from all over the Prince's Mansion, so she has to be careful.
"Don't worry, I just let my brother's body temperature drop temporarily. Such a small thing is nothing." Zhao Yan said confidently. Zhao Xu only caused a high fever because of a wound infection. In later generations, such a small thing can be solved by taking a fever and anti-inflammatory injection. It is not a disease at all. Although there are no convenient conditions for future generations, I have been listening to the medical school for several years. If this small disease cannot be cured, I will even be sorry for my girlfriend from the medical school.
If it were in the past, Cao Ying would have to stop Zhao Yan no matter what. However, since Zhao Yan miraculously cured the diced meat last time, and Zhao Yan's unique performance during this period, although he has not completely reversed Zhao Yan's impression in Cao Ying's mind, in Cao Ying's opinion, Zhao Yan is indeed different from before. No matter what kind of character, at least he seems to have suddenly understood many miscellaneous things.
Cao Ying lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, I hope you must be careful when governing. The future and destiny of hundreds of people in the Prince's Mansion is in your hands!"
When Cao Ying said this, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful. When she studied medicine with her grandfather, who was known as the world's number one miracle doctor, she studied medicine with various medical books and knew various treatment methods. However, she rarely had the opportunity to actually treat patients. This also made her medical skills mostly stop in theory, and when they were truly used to treat diseases and save people, they were not very effective. In fact, this is not her fault. As the daughter of the Cao family, the elders of the Cao family would never let her show up to treat others in any way.
With Cao Ying's consent, the servants of the royal family quickly prepared what Zhao Yan needed, and the brazier and quilt were also taken away. At that moment, Zhao Yan drove everyone out, leaving only him and Zhao Xu, as well as the imperial physician and guard Chen Ding. As the guard of King Ying, he would never let Zhao Xu in a coma be alone in the same room.
"Chen Ding, take off my elder brother's shirt, hurry up!" Zhao Yan picked up the wine jar and ordered Chen Ding at the same time.
Chen Ding was born in a military army and had long been accustomed to following orders. As long as Zhao Yan was not bad for Zhao Xu, he would not disobey Zhao Yan's orders, so he quickly took off Zhao Xu's top. However, the imperial doctor felt that doing so would only aggravate the condition, so he opposed it several times, but unfortunately he was directly ignored by Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan opened the mud seal on the wine jar, picked up a towel and dipped it in it, and began to wipe it on Zhao Xu's neck, chest, armpits, palms and other places. Alcohol can stimulate people's capillaries, thereby opening up the pores on the skin, which is conducive to heat dissipation. Moreover, alcohol evaporation will also take away some heat, which is a very effective and quick cooling method.
Although Zhao Yan used not alcohol, and the degree of this kind of alcohol was not high, it would definitely not work for disinfection, but it was enough to just reduce the fever of the human body. After Zhao Yan wiped it a few times, he found that Zhao Xu's body temperature had dropped, and his whole body breathing was not as rapid as before, but much more stable. Now even Chen Ding, who did not understand medicine, could see that Zhao Xu's condition was getting better, which made him more confident in Zhao Yan, the prince.
"Prince, Prince Ying's body temperature has dropped, and his condition seems to have improved. What's the reason?" The imperial doctor who had been taking his pulse for Zhao Xu was also surprised. This was the first time he saw that he could lower the patient's body temperature by using alcohol.
"Wine contains alcohol, which can stimulate people's skin..." Zhao Yan briefly explained the principle of using alcohol to cool down, and then added, "But when cooling patients, you should be careful not to use alcohol, but to use warm water. In addition, this cooling method can only treat symptoms but not root causes. After cooling, you have to drink antipyretic drugs!"
The physical cooling is only temporary. The real reason for Zhao Xu's high fever is that his wound is inflamed, which leads to inflammation in his body. Therefore, if you want to completely cure Zhao Xu, you must eliminate the inflammation in his body. It just so happened that Zhao Yan brought some anti-inflammatory injections when traveling through time. These were originally used to treat bronchitis by Mr. Liu, who was guarding the door. They are all anti-inflammatory drugs, so they are considered relatively symptomatic.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yan asked the imperial doctor to take care of Zhao Xu for the time being, and don’t rush to cover Zhao Xu with a quilt. He wanted to go to the inner house to get an anti-inflammatory injection to give Zhao Xu an injection. Originally, it would be enough for Xiao Douya to make such a thing, but Zhao Yan was worried that Xiao Douya would be frivolous, and if the injection was dropped along the way, it would be a disaster.
"How is it?" As soon as Zhao Yan left the room, Cao Ying, who was guarding the living room outside, immediately stepped forward and asked. The officials of Zhao Xu's entourage also surrounded him with concern. They actually didn't believe that Zhao Yan would treat the disease, but these officials were all low-level officials of the Ministry of Works, not those bold censors, and they had no courage to fight against Zhao Yan.
"Don't worry, the fever has temporarily receded. I'll go to the back house to get the medicine. After using the medicine, it's okay!" Zhao Yan said with a smile. Being able to treat a patient well during the Northern Song Dynasty made him feel very accomplished.
When he heard that Zhao Xu had subsided, Cao Ying and the officials were relieved. Then Zhao Yan told Cao Ying to take care of him, and he went to the back house to get medicine. However, Zhao Yan didn't know that just when he left the front yard, a large group of people came to the gate of the Prince's Mansion in heavy rain. The guards on both sides were actually imperial guards.
After this group of men arrived at the Prince's Mansion of Guangyang County, the imperial guards in front immediately took over the guards of the Prince's Mansion. Then a luxurious carriage was parked in front of the door. Before the people on the carriage had already arrived, a wide yellow umbrella had been set up, and there were eunuchs and palace maids around. Such ceremonies can only be used by the emperor and queen today.
Then the carriage door was opened, and two palace maids walked out first, and then a lady in her thirties helped a middle-aged man in a yellow robe. These two were the emperors of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Shu and Empress Gao. Among them, Empress Gao looked anxious. Although Zhao Shu had a sick look on his face, he was also very anxious between his eyebrows. Zhao Xu was the son whom they were most beloved and valued the most, and was also the future successor of the Song Dynasty. If something happened to Zhao Xu, the entire Song Dynasty would be shocked.
Zhao Shu's condition had just improved a little. During this period, heavy rains were falling, and Empress Cao was also feeling a little uncomfortable, so Zhao Shu also helped to deal with some government affairs. Just now, when he was discussing matters with several ministers, he suddenly received news that his son Zhao Xu had a high fever and was in a coma. This surprised Zhao Shu and called Empress Gao and rushed over.
After Zhao Shu and his wife got off the carriage, several ministers came down from the carriage behind. They were Han Qi, Zeng Gongliang and other important officials of the Song Dynasty. When they were discussing affairs with Zhao Shu, they heard that Zhao Xu was in good health, so they all came to visit him.
Zhao Shu and others hurried to the wing room where Zhao Xu was. Cao Ying hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Daughter-in-law Cao, please pay homage to Daddy, Miss!"
Generally, as long as it is not in the court, the princess and princesses actually have the same titles as those of ordinary families as ordinary families, which is also a major feature of the royal family of the Song Dynasty.
"No need to be polite, how is Xu'er now?" Zhao Shu didn't speak yet, but Empress Gao next to him asked impatiently. From her expression, it can be seen that Empress Gao really cares about Zhao Xu. Compared to her coldness when she visited Zhao Yan, Empress Gao now really looks like a mother.
"Don't worry, Your Highness Ying's high fever has subsided, and his condition has been controlled..." Before Cao Ying finished speaking, Empress Gao had already rushed into the bedroom in the wing room. Zhao Shu couldn't say anything to his daughter-in-law, so he followed him inside, and Cao Ying had to shut up helplessly.
As soon as Empress Gao entered, she happened to see Zhao Xu lying on the bed with her upper body naked, not even a quilt on her body and the room was not warm. This made her immediately furiously question the imperial doctor of the royal family who was taking care of her, "That's how you take care of King Ying? Don't you know that my son is having a fever? It would be fine if you don't keep my son warm, but he even took off his clothes. I think you want to kill my son!"
The imperial physician in the royal palace knew Empress Gao. When he saw the powerful empress in the past, he got angry at him as soon as he came in, which made him very confused. He had to answer honestly: "Queen, it was not that the minister wanted to take off King Ying's clothes, but that His Highness of the Prince thought that this would help King Ying's fever..."
"Bastard, Zhao Yan doesn't understand medical skills at all. Do you have to listen to his words?" Queen Gao asked angrily, "I think you don't want to treat King Ying at all, but want to kill my son!"
The imperial doctor was so scared that he retreated repeatedly, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he didn't even dare to argue for him. Zhao Shu also showed a little anger on his face, and he was also wondering why Zhao Yan did this. Could it be that he really wanted to kill his elder brother?
Empress Gao was even more angry when she saw the imperial doctor's slutty look. After asking the palace maids around her to cover Zhao Xu with a quilt, she immediately turned around and went to the outer hall and asked Cao Ying loudly: "Where is Zhao Yan? Didn't I ask you to supervise him and let him stay in the inner house to recuperate? Why did he come to the front yard to treat Xu'er randomly? How did you be the princess?"
