He has been the emperor's attendant for twenty-seven years since he was born. He did not care about him when he was young. Since the emperor inherited the treasure (established him as crown prince), only the late emperor has died, and the late Empress Shun has seen two people when she passed away.
The third time today is really the third time...
Yuan Hui secretly took a breath, and his eyes changed when he looked at Li Chengzhi. The jealousy he had before because Yuan Ke emphasized that Yuan Yuan should protect Li Chengzhi was gone.
Li Chengzhi's mission was to sacrifice his life to save others. What could he compare it to?
He knew he had lost his temper, but the emperor did not hide it at all. He just bit the tip of his tongue and forced his mood to relax.
"I feel relieved to see you awake..."
Yuan Ke fumbled under the pillow for a while and handed something to Li Chengzhi, "This seal is temporarily granted to you, and you can temporarily receive Huben from the post of five positions. Don't let me down..."
The thing is not big and should be made of white jade. It is about an inch in diameter and about two inches in height. There is a mythical beast carved on the top as a button, which should be Ni Jun.
When they saw what it was, Wang Xian, Yuan Hui and others all took a deep breath and almost knelt down.
Is Your Majesty crazy?
Li Chengzhi's head felt numb. He was still angry at himself just now, but the anger he felt towards himself for his misfortune had long since disappeared.
The emperor’s seal?
Can this thing be used to mobilize troops?
And it can be used to issue imperial edicts, and no matter who writes it, it counts if it is stamped with this seal...
Sometimes if the emperor is not in the palace and does not have the emperor's seal (big seal) in his hand, he will stamp it with the seal that he carries with him when issuing temporary decrees.
As if he had been stung by a bee, he shrank back: "I dare not take it!"
"Is there anything else you don't dare to accept? Don't worry, I'm just granting you temporary palace confinement, and at most you can only be ordered to be a tiger. What's so scary?"
That won’t work either.
If he were at the level of Gao Zhao or Yu Zhong, it would be enough to take over temporarily. But what rank is he at now?
And when things are still so turbulent and turbulent, maybe this jade seal will become a life-killing talisman and help someone take the blame...
He shook his head like a rattle: "Your Majesty has a destiny, even if it means mountains of swords and seas of fire, I can go there. But the seal is a symbol of destiny, and it cannot be used except by the emperor, so I ask your Majesty to take back the destiny..."
Seeing Li Chengzhi avoiding the precious seal like a snake or a scorpion, the emperor sighed: "I know you never go too far beyond the realm of possibility... Yuanhui!"
"I'm here!"
"Call Liu Teng and hand over the emperor's order to Li Chengzhi, as well as the errand!"
Yuan Ke chuckled softly and said, "Since you dare to go to the mountains and seas of fire for me, it is not a problem to be temporarily imprisoned by the palace. Please don't refuse the temporary order of Hu Ben, so that I can sleep peacefully..."
No wonder you stayed up like a ghost and were waiting for me to wake up?
Li Chengzhi secretly complained: "Your Majesty, I am injured now..."
"Since you're not dead, just hold on for me..."
Yuan Ke scolded and yawned again.
Why do you feel sleepy immediately when you talk about sleeping?
With a thought in his heart, the emperor secretly said, "Sure enough."
Apart from Li Chengzhi, there seems to be no one he can trust now?
Yes, Li Chengzhi dared to risk his life for me. If I don’t trust him, who can I trust?
"You must be low on energy when you wake up from a coma for a long time. Don't worry about me, just take care of yourself. I can still survive for a while..."
After a pause, the emperor gave a rare yawn, "But the palace ban must be guarded... Don't bother me if there is no big deal..."
Seeing the emperor yawning profusely and his sleepy eyelids constantly fighting, Li Chengzhi didn't know what to say.
Yuan Ke, Yuan Ke, I am determined to rebel and am determined to be the number one rebel in the world. But you use me as your number one loyal minister?
I always felt that something was wrong, so I moved my lips and when I was about to say something, the emperor was already asleep?
Xu Jian, Wang Xian and others were both happy and envious.
This is the first time in these days that the emperor has taken the initiative to fall asleep. Could it be that Li Chengzhi really became the emperor’s panacea?
Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has had many favored ministers, such as Zhao Bang, Ru Hao, and even now Gao Zhao. But he has never been so trusted by the emperor...
Yuan Yuan sighed sadly and said in a low voice: "If you really want to share your worries for me, don't refuse...and you know that in the past seven or eight days, if your majesty did not drink, he would never be able to fall asleep. Even if you drink, you will fall asleep."
You will wake up in half an hour at most..."
No wonder the emperor is so haggard?
Any other person would definitely be more frightened and sleepless than Yuan Ke: This is a palace with heavy restrictions and 30,000 imperial guards such as Yu Lin and Hu Ben. But can an assassin succeed in broad daylight?
God knows if there are assassin accomplices in the palace, have they already lurked around the emperor?
And by mistake, he risked his life to block the emperor's knife, which was naturally like a brand that Yuan Ke would never forget...
Li Chengzhi couldn't stop sighing. When he was about to ask Emperor Yuanyuan what errands he had given Liu Teng, he realized: He had been unconscious for seven or eight days?
How did you survive?
I'm afraid...he's disabled, right?
He was terrified in his heart, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Li Chengzhi raised his hands vigorously, kicked his legs, and groped in a panic...
"Don't worry, I'm just afraid that you won't wake up."
Wang Xian reminded in a low voice, "Master Xu and I have argued that the thorn was boiled with venom. The most poisonous one is kudzu, as well as arsenic, aconite, albizia and so on...
Except for arsenic, the other three poisons can all confuse the mind. But in the past seven or eight days, 70% of the poison has been eliminated from your body, but if you can wake up and rest for a while, you will be fine..."
Does this mean that even if you are not disabled, there will be basically no sequelae?
Li Chengzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
If you really become a cripple, how can you make such a big deal?
I have never heard of any dynasty where the founding emperor conquered the world in a wheelchair...
With emotion in his heart, he saw Xu Jian again. Wang Xian and others were staring at him eagerly. Li Chengzhi said helplessly: "It is a matter of being loyal to the emperor and eating the emperor's salary. No minister has ever abandoned the emperor and put his own principles first. Don't worry, everyone.
I will treat your Majesty right away..."
"Your Majesty's limbs are weak. Although you cannot administer the treatment with your own hands, you can observe one or two of them first, and then let the medical order and the lieutenant ask for acupuncture and apply medicine... Could you please the medical order and the lieutenant, and first untie the medicine gauze tied under your majesty's chest?"
..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
I have been waiting for him for a long time.
Wang Xian and Xu Jian shouted several times, holding the lamp and taking the medicine. Fearing that he might accidentally hurt the emperor, Li Chengzhi also ordered the medical officer to feed the emperor half a bowl of medicinal wine.
It's also strange. In just the blink of an eye, Yuan Ke slept like a stick of clay, and he didn't wake up at all despite being treated by the medical officer.
When the gauze was untied and the medical officer carefully wiped the powder from the wound, Li Chengzhi's eyes flashed.
The wound was flat, about half an inch long. It must have been soaked in the liver fluid for many days. It was a little swollen and turned outward like a child's mouth.
The skin is a bit dry and hard, and has a strange color: the skin is white, just like shaved pig skin. About one point or less is fat, which is pitifully thin and almost translucent. This also depends on the emperor's diet.
He is light, rarely eats meat, and does not like greasy food.
The strange thing is that the muscle layer further down is also white?
It's exactly the same as pork soaked in water after thawing. At most, it's a little dark, not even pink and white.
At first glance, it looked much better than Hu Baozong's wound that looked like it had been eaten by a dog. And there was no need to try every means to stop the bleeding. But the more Li Chengzhi thought about it, the more wrong he became. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this should be a dead person.
That’s right.
Where is the blood?
I vaguely remember that after the assassination that day, the emperor didn’t seem to have shed much blood?
And it’s been seven or eight days, so why is there no sign of the wound healing?
When it comes to medical skills, saying that Li Chengzhi is half-assed is a compliment. When he saw this, he immediately felt a little nervous.
Seeing his face full of surprise, Xu Jian and Wang Xian looked at each other and sighed secretly.
After looking at the emperor and seeing that he was sleeping soundly, Wang Xian said in a low voice: "Thanks to your guidance, if it is just suturing the flesh, Master Xu and I can imitate the cat and imitate the tiger, and we will learn 70% to 80%.
But His Majesty's liver fire is too strong, his Qi and blood are too weak, and there is no nourishment by blood. Even if the wound is sutured, it will be useless. And for some reason, the strange water in Your Majesty's abdomen keeps coming back. Therefore, I discussed with Master Xu and bandaged it first.
, wait until you wake up to deal with it..."
Is it just because the emperor's energy and blood are too weak?
If it's just a liver problem, no matter how weak the blood is, it's impossible to have a hole in the stomach without bleeding?
Furthermore, it has been seven or eight days. No matter how weak the emperor's constitution is, it is impossible that the wound will not heal at all?
And even the skin of the wound is hard?
Li Chengzhi's heart moved, and he remembered a safety accident he had dealt with in his previous life: the pastry chef's hand was caught in the dough machine, and the bones came out, but there was not much blood. Later, he learned that the patient had been suffering from kidney disease for many years and had reached the end of the disease.
The degree of hypercoagulability: roughly it means that blood will coagulate quickly when exposed to wind.
Seeing that he was deep in thought and silent, Xu Jian added: "There is one more thing: the injury is so serious, but Your Majesty does not feel much pain. I have been practicing medicine for a long time and have never seen this disease. I wonder if Li Shilang knows the cause?" I can’t feel the pain... The emperor seemed to have said the same thing that day?
If you stab the dead liver, you will naturally feel no pain, but what about your stomach?
This was directly pierced...
His heart sank, and Li Chengzhi shouted in a low voice: "Lift up His Majesty's robe!"
I didn’t know what he meant, but Wang Xian did as he was told and rolled up Yuan Ke’s trousers.
Sure enough: the shriveled blue and black calves looked like earthworms...
Li Chengzhi's mouth was filled with bitterness: Although he was half-educated, he had at least been trained and had seen a lot, so he knew some medical common sense.
What is the lack of Qi and blood that causes wounds to not heal for a long time?
This is obviously due to severe liver disease, which has also caused kidney disease, leading to hypercoagulation. And it has reached an extremely high-risk level. A slight injury will cause neuropathy and skin and flesh necrosis...
For example, it's like a callus on your heel. The nerves have become diseased and necrotic. If you remove a piece of it, you won't feel any pain, and it won't heal automatically like normal skin. But calluses are ground out, like the emperor's belly.
But it is not ground out, but is there from birth. So it will definitely become inflamed, gradually infected, and form ulcers.
With the emperor's constitution, once infected, death is not far away... And this is a hole in the stomach: it is impossible to keep leaking like this and let the emperor's internal organs blow out every day?
If he can survive a year, Li Chengzhi dares to follow the surname Yuan...
Moreover, there is hypercoagulability... To put it in layman's terms: the emperor may have cerebral thrombosis, myocardial infarction, or even pulmonary embolism that can lead to death at any time...
Seeing that his face was getting uglier and uglier, Xu Jian, Wang Xian and others felt as if a stone was weighing on their hearts, getting heavier and heavier.
Liu Teng and Yuan Hui, who had just entered the palace, did not even dare to show their dignity.
Li Chengzhi hesitated for a long time, then gritted his teeth: "I'm sorry that I can't do anything..."
Everyone's faces turned pale.
"Thump thump thump..." Liu Teng's legs went weak, he took a few steps back and sat down on the ground.
"Li Chengzhi, what did you say that day: As long as your ministers are here, your majesty will be safe..."
I just said it, so what?
Li Chengzhi only guessed that the emperor might have cirrhosis of the liver, but he never knew that it was so severe that he was terminally ill and could die at any time?
Risking his life and getting stabbed, the emperor could only live for another year and a half?
And maybe one day the emperor suddenly falls ill and just kicks his legs and stares?
Li Chengzhi was irritated, but he held back his anger and explained: "If it's just a trauma, I'm at least 80% sure. But the medical order and the lieutenant must have mentioned it to the minister: His Majesty's current lack of energy and blood is not enough to moisturize the injured area.
, the wound cannot heal itself at all... Even if Bian Que comes back to life and Hua Tuo comes back to life, there will be no way to save him, let alone Xia Guan?"
Wang Xiandu's face was ashen. At first glance, what Li Chengzhi said was no different from what Xu Jian said, and a trace of blood suddenly burst out: "It's just that the wound cannot be healed?"
More than that?
Li Chengzhi endured it again and again, but finally did not dare to say that if he was not careful, the emperor would suffer a stroke (cerebral hemorrhage) or heart attack (myocardial infarction).
Liu Teng glanced at the sleeping emperor, gritted his teeth, and cautiously tried: "At that time, His Majesty made him anxious. The lieutenant once said that if the medicine is applied carefully like this, it should be able to... last a year and a half...
…What do you say?”
No wonder he was so impatient, it was Li Chengzhi's words that affected whether they would be buried with the emperor immediately...
Seeing Li Chengzhi nodding, nine out of ten people were secretly relieved.
Your Majesty is about to die soon, and everyone in the court knows it, even the emperor himself knows it clearly. Even if one day, your Majesty is in danger because of this, today's cause can only be regarded as adding insult to injury. Even if they are guilty, they are not guilty.
Until death... As long as the emperor doesn't die now...
"Then treat it as soon as possible..." Liu Teng sighed with relief and urged Li Chengzhi, "At least it can make His Majesty feel better..."
Feeling better?
In addition to giving the emperor more psychological comfort, are there other uses for bird feathers?
The best he can do now is to sew up the hole. Within a month or two, the wound will gradually become necrotic, causing infection and ulcers, and then spread to the stomach...
With the emperor's physique, how many more months can he survive?
Li Chengzhi wanted to scold his mother with hatred: They are a bunch of bastards, no wonder the emperor can’t believe anyone?
You have escaped the disaster, but where is grandpa?
After trying so hard to close the door of hell, you ended up like this?
