Starting with Three Wives, First as a Local Tyrant, Then as an Emperor

Starting with a choice of a wife, a princess, a female general, and a down-on-her-luck Young Miss. But in this Warring States period, beauty is worthless; you need someone strong and capable. Excus...

What's the situation in Chapter 278?

"Therefore, I cannot draw a conclusion at the moment. I still need to communicate with the imperial physicians and Lord Yao to confirm the details again!"

As soon as Sun Jian finished speaking, everyone was moved by his professional words and his dedicated attitude in treating Emperor Ganwu.

Even Emperor Ganwu himself was deeply moved.

Sun Jian was indeed extremely loyal to Da Gan and to himself.

If he truly harbors ulterior motives, then it is entirely possible to say that one is helpless.

After all, even if a god descended to earth or a divine physician were reborn, they would be helpless in this situation. But Sun Jian was willing to bear such pressure and wanted to understand the specific condition of Emperor Qianwu's body from the beginning, as well as the previous medication and treatment.

All of this combined is enough to demonstrate that Sun Jian possessed unwavering loyalty.

Emperor Ganwu had originally planned that if Sun Jian was also helpless against his illness today, he would test Sun Jian before his own death.

Let's see what his ambitions are and how big his aspirations are!

This kind of thing can't be hidden.

If he had vaguely sensed that Sun Jian harbored ambitions, or was extremely adept at concealing his cunning and shrewdness, he would have surely informed Crown Prince Li Gancheng before his death to be wary of Sun Jian.

We need to use it while also taking precautions.

Of course, these measures against Sun Jian were not enough. Emperor Ganwu would still carry out the previous plan, demoting Sun Jian to Sili and imprisoning him to pave the way for Crown Prince Li Gancheng to ascend the throne.

Therefore, the fact that Sun Jian came to the Taiji Hall for treatment today actually had multiple purposes.

Emperor Ganwu's thoughts were not so simple.

However, it must be said that up to now, Sun Jian's actions and behavior have greatly pleased Emperor Ganwu and earned him many points.

Sun Jian ignored what the ministers and Emperor Ganwu were thinking and instead looked at the imperial physician standing to the side with a complicated expression.

"My lords, please trouble you to tell me about His Majesty's health over the past year!"

Hearing Sun Jian's polite and humble words, the four imperial physicians were so frightened that they all bowed and saluted.

Sun Jian was the Marquis of Hanting and the General of Fenwei.

In the entire Daqian court, apart from the imperial family and direct descendants of princes, he was practically on par with the governors of the five prefectures.

Even the Three Dukes had to show deference to Sun Jian, let alone the lowly Imperial Physicians of the Imperial Hospital.

Although they had served Emperor Ganwu for nearly twenty years, they could be considered his confidants.

Ultimately, their official rank was only fifth grade, which was worlds apart from Sun Jian's status. Sun Jian was so polite, addressing them as "sir" and referring to himself as "Sun Mou." How could they not be moved to tears by such humility?

"My lord, please do not refer to yourself as 'so' in front of us humble servants. You are the great banner of the nation and the pillar of the southern sky. It is already an honor for us humble servants to have the chance to see you."

"Yes! Please speak freely if you have any orders, Your Majesty. I will do my utmost to cooperate!"

The imperial physicians bowed and said some very polite words before beginning to tell Sun Jian about Emperor Ganwu's health condition over the past year and the medicines and treatments he had received.

During this period, Yao Tianzheng would occasionally add to the discussion, since he had also participated in several of Emperor Qianwu's medical treatments.

Sun Jian listened attentively, memorizing all the information he wanted to know.

With the introductions and explanations from these imperial physicians and the assistance of Yao Tianzheng, Sun Jian was able to compile a summary of Emperor Ganwu's physical condition and current situation.

In short, Emperor Ganwu first suffered from heart failure, dizziness, and night sweats. Then, he had lung problems that caused swelling in his hands and feet. Finally, his cardiopulmonary function declined drastically, and he was on the verge of death.

In addition, Emperor Ganwu was also running a fever. Although his body temperature was not high, the fever came and went, and it would occur every time the wound in his abdomen flared up.

This also caused severe inflammation in the lungs, which led to vomiting blood.

In addition, he often stayed up late and took elixirs containing deadly poison, leaving his internal organs in a terrible state.

As for other areas, they are all minor problems, such as a sharp decline in liver and kidney function, etc.

After the imperial physicians finished speaking to Yao Tianzheng, their foreheads were covered in cold sweat.

Let alone doctors, even someone who knows nothing about medicine would probably break out in a cold sweat upon hearing Emperor Ganwu's description of his symptoms.

It felt as if they weren't describing a living person, but rather a corpse on the verge of death.

Simply put, if Emperor Ganwu hadn't had some physical strength and a solid foundation in his early years, he probably would have died long ago in this situation.

It would have been better if they hadn't said it; once it was out, everyone was shocked...

As for the medicines the imperial physicians prescribed for the emperor, Sun Jian listened very attentively, but he couldn't understand them at all.

He had never even heard of many of the medicinal herbs, so he could only pretend to nod in confirmation.

After a series of reports, Sun Jian let out a long breath and began to close his eyes and ponder.

Damn it!

Just as I guessed when I was at home!

Emperor Ganwu had problems with every part of his body, and he was barely clinging to life with medicinal soups.

They actually dared to ask me to save them...

This is totally digging your own grave!

If it weren't for Lao Tzu having a system, with the highly advanced technology and medicines of later generations...

Even if you guys summoned all four of the most famous doctors of later generations—Hua Tuo, Sun Simiao, Li Shizhen, and Zhang Zhongjing—and they all joined forces, you still couldn't save Emperor Qianlong.

Let alone saving him, they probably can't even extend his life!

Now that things had come to this, Sun Jian could only think of a way to deal with it.

The first priority was to suppress his fever. Sun Jian was already certain that Emperor Ganwu probably had a lot of inflammation all over his body.

He definitely needs intravenous fluids and antibiotics, and a small amount of adrenaline should also be administered.

This will at least alleviate his lung problems and systemic inflammation.

Secondly, in terms of cardiopulmonary function, ventilators, nasogastric tubes, and certain medications are also needed.

Fortunately, Sun Jian had exchanged all of these medicines, and even more than he had.

If we supplement Emperor Ganwu with some nutritional supplements, perhaps the old man's life can be extended for another three months or so...

These thoughts kept flashing through his mind, and Sun Jian came up with the answer by combining his experience from his previous life with some professional nursing knowledge.

Overall, it's similar to the situation he analyzed at home before.

In later generations, Emperor Ganwu's current situation would at most be enough to maintain his vital signs and allow him to prolong his life.

Sun Jian's methods and approaches were similar to this.

"My lord... how is it?"
