Chapter 189: Saving the Grand Princess

Under the stimulation of cold water, Nanny Tu slowly woke up.

After seeing Xie Yingmian, she wanted to curse.

Before she could utter a sound, she realized her throat was sore that she couldn't make any sound.

Not only was I unable to make any sound, but I also had difficulty breathing.

Driven by the desire to survive, she could only open her mouth wide and breathe the limited air desperately like a fish that had been dehydrated for a long time.

Aunt Tu finally remembered.

When she was looking for trouble, Xie Yingmian retaliated against her. Somehow her throat swelled up and she couldn't breathe through her mouth and nose. She almost suffocated to death.

After her memory returned, Aunt Tu's eyes were filled with fear.

Xie Yingmian's tone remained unchanged.

“As the saying goes, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles.”

"This nun has experienced it firsthand, so she should understand my treatment plan, right?"

"After acupuncture, Madam, you can breathe again and your vital signs remain stable, but this does not mean that you are out of danger."

Xie Yingmian said in a businesslike manner: "Since Madam Madam doesn't understand, I will tell her in the most direct way."

"In other words, Madam, I will respond to the Grand Princess's physical condition."

"Madam, it's best to pray that the Grand Princess can get through this difficult time smoothly."

Aunt Tu's whole face was white.

She was serving the Grand Princess, and she knew exactly what the Grand Princess was like.

To put it bluntly, the Grand Princess may die at any time.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have tried so hard to find another way out.

She was wrong.

She shouldn't have been so greedy as to accept the five thousand taels of silver note from the Fang family, and she shouldn't have openly picked a fight with Xie Yingmian.

Xie Yingmian is not some village girl who can be manipulated by others.

Xie Yingmian is not a human being at all, he is an evil ghost!

Aunt Tu was speechless and could only plead with her eyes.

Xie Yingmian turned a blind eye.

When Xie Yingmian was teaching the two imperial physicians, Old Cheng and Little Cheng, the Nineteen Needles of Runjin, Imperial Physician Li also brought the medicinal materials over.

Doctor Li asked two little monks to help carry the medicine jars.

He was holding a lot of herbs in his hands.

"Princess Ling." Doctor Li wiped the sweat from his forehead. "The herbs for clearing away heat and detoxifying are ready."

"Also, the herbs you requested are all prepared and here."

He placed the herbs on the table.

"Do you think these herbs are okay?"

Xie Yingmian nodded slightly: "They are all top-quality medicinal herbs. Thank you for your hard work."

Doctor Li waved his hand: "It's not hard at all."

Xie Yingmian instructed the other three imperial physicians, "Please feed the medicine to the Grand Princess."

She went to extract the heart-protecting fluid.

The eldest princess has been deprived of oxygen for too long, and her cardiopulmonary functions have been damaged, so she needs to take heart-protecting pills.

But the eldest princess' throat was still red and swollen, and she had difficulty swallowing. It was impossible for her to swallow the pill.

She could only extract the liquid medicine on the spot.

Doctor Li's eyes almost popped out when he saw Xie Yingmian preparing the medicine on the spot.

Generally speaking, the Imperial Medical Office's medicine making methods mainly rely on boiling and steaming.

Xie Yingmian is different.

She crushed all the herbs and then ground them into powder.

After pouring in some unknown liquid, let the powder and liquid mix thoroughly.

The pharmaceutical process is simple and crude.

Doctor Li was stunned. "Princess Ling, may I ask what liquid did you add?"

Xie Yingmian didn't even raise her head: "Water."

Doctor Li: ...

It’s actually water!

Just water?

"Just grinding it up and mixing it with water, will this work?"

Xie Yingmian paused for a moment and said, "It should be possible."

The water was not ordinary water, but water that had absorbed the energy of the void stone in her small space.

The energy of the void stone and the efficacy of the medicine together repaired the eldest princess's body, achieving twice the result with half the effort.

Doctor Li hated to hear such ambiguous words the most.

For him, if it’s okay, it’s okay; if it’s not okay, it’s not okay.

Ambiguous means no.

Xie Yingmian's saying "should" was equivalent to telling him "it has no effect".

Doctor Li was anxious.

He has thin hair to begin with, and he likes to pull it when he's anxious, so his head is now bald.

Xie Yingmian looked at Doctor Li’s bald head in silence.

She has a recipe for hair growth, but she wonders if Doctor Li will buy it.

Doctor Zheng, the taciturn cardiologist, said, "Doctor Li, please be patient. Based on my experience, it will be effective."

Doctor Zheng is the kind of person who is usually quiet when he speaks, but when he speaks, he is always sure of what he says.

After hearing what Doctor Zheng said, Doctor Li finally relaxed a little.

"Princess Ling." Doctor Cheng was sweating profusely, "The Grand Princess couldn't take the medicine. She vomited everything she was given."

"I've tried feeding with a spoon and dripping with chopsticks. But the spoon feed causes him to choke, and the chopstick feed is too slow. What should I do?"

Xie Yingmian frowned slightly.

The eldest princess's condition was more serious than she had expected.

"Get some clean bamboo tubes of varying thicknesses."

The four imperial doctors were confused.

Doctor Cheng asked, "Princess Ling, what is the use of the thin bamboo tube?"

Xie Yingmian said, "The eldest princess's condition is special. She can't be fed medicine in the normal way. I want to feed her through a nasogastric tube."

The imperial doctors had never heard of this method of feeding medicine.

They were excited again.

Once a patient falls into a deep coma, he or she will be unable to swallow.

Unable to swallow, I can only wait to die.

Many people starved to death.

If they also master this technology...

The imperial doctors became more and more excited the more they thought about it.

Xie Yingmian searched for a long time before finding a suitable bamboo tube.

Seeing the imperial doctors looking like curious babies, she explained while intubating the eldest princess, and also explained the various risks and sequelae.

The imperial physicians were like primary school students listening to a lecture, taking notes and nodding their heads.

"True nasogastric feeding involves inserting a gastric tube through the nasal cavity into the esophagus," Xie Yingmian said. "We don't have professional equipment, and our conditions are primitive. This bamboo tube is very easy to damage and get infected, and it also requires a lot of skill. Unless it's a special case, it's best not to use it."

"Fortunately, we don't need to insert the bamboo tube directly into the stomach. Of course, we can't do that at the moment. We just need to get the bamboo tube to the esophagus."

Xie Yingmian drew a line across the Grand Princess's face. "I've checked. The distance from the nasal cavity to the esophagus is about half a foot long. Start here and end here." (Note: One foot is approximately 32 centimeters.)

After Xie Yingmian finished explaining, he calmed down and focused on intubation.

She was lucky and succeeded at the first try.

After success, the medicine was successfully fed in.

Seeing that the Grand Princess successfully took the medicine, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After taking anti-allergic drugs.

The eldest princess is in noticeably better condition.

"Wait an hour, then feed the remaining medicine to the Grand Princess, and so on." Xie Yingmian said to Doctor Li.

Nasogastric feeding is different from normal feeding.

Each time should not exceed 200 ml, and the interval should not be less than two hours.

"Do you remember the key points I just mentioned?" Xie Yingmian said, "Here's a ready-made experimental material. Try intubating her."

The four imperial doctors looked at each other.

Although they felt novel about the nasogastric feeding method.

But the thought of a bamboo tube going into the nasal cavity makes me feel sad.

Doctor Cheng's apprentice is good at acupuncture and has little interest in nasogastric feeding.

Doctor Li has great interests, but he has a complicated personality.

While he was still struggling with this, Dr. Zheng, a cardiologist who had some social anxiety, stepped forward.

His eyes sparkled: "I am willing to give it a try."
