After the emperor left, Tian An examined the queen's body and then went to the outer room to discuss the queen's condition with the imperial doctors.
She is good at surgery, but when it comes to taking care of the body, these imperial doctors are still the best.
As soon as Tian An arrived, all the imperial doctors surrounded him immediately.
"Xiang Jun, how is the Queen doing now?"
"Is the wound okay? It's not bleeding anymore!"
They were male doctors and could not see the queen's wound with their own eyes. Even if they wanted to take her pulse, they could only do so through a thread hanging from a curtain.
As a result, the understanding of the Queen's condition was inevitably biased. Tian An was a woman with good medical skills. She had sutured the Queen's wound herself, so she knew the Queen's current condition best. It was right to ask her.
"I just reapplied the medicine. Although the wound looks scary, fortunately, no internal organs were damaged, so it's fine now.
However, the Queen lost too much blood today. Although the timely blood transfusion saved her life, her body was still injured.
What worries me more now is tonight. Only if the Queen survives tonight can her life be completely saved."
Tian An briefly told the imperial doctors about the queen's current condition so that they would have a general idea of the situation.
The imperial doctors also knew that tonight was crucial. After learning the queen's specific condition, they began to gather together to discuss.
"In my opinion, Her Majesty will most likely have a fever tonight, so we have to make preparations in advance." Doctor Wei spoke first.
Tian An nodded in agreement. "We need to prepare in advance. I just touched your forehead and it's showing signs of fever. I'm afraid it will be feverish in less than half an hour."
Upon hearing this, the imperial doctors immediately became nervous.
Doctor Qin suggested, "The Imperial Hospital is quite far from the Empress' Kunning Palace. Once we order the prescription, we have to take it back to the Imperial Hospital to boil the medicine and then send it back. It will take too much time on the way.
Why don't we go to the Imperial Hospital and get some more medicine now, and then boil the medicine directly in the small kitchen of Kunning Palace, so as not to delay the Empress from taking the medicine!
What do you think?
"I think it's feasible. It's snowing outside! The lights are dim at night. If you accidentally spill the boiled medicine, it will cause trouble." Doctor Yan was the first to raise his hand in agreement.
The person lying inside is the mother of the nation, and there is no room for any mistakes.
Seeing that no one else had any objections, Doctor Wei immediately arranged for two doctors to return to the Imperial Hospital to prepare medicine.
The imperial physician who stayed behind continued to discuss the queen's condition and formulated several emergency measures just in case.
After the discussion, all the doctors looked at Tian An at the same time, "Xiang Jun, the queen will be in trouble if you take care of her. Please inform us if there is any situation."
"Yes, yes, yes. Let's take turns sleeping on the floor outside. As soon as you yell, we'll get up right away."
"No problem, I'll watch from inside. Doctors, please take a break while the Empress is still okay. We'll be busy in the second half of the night!"
Tian An readily accepted the important task. She had no choice but to accept it since she was the only female doctor present.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Xiangjun."
After several imperial doctors bowed to Tian An, they went to a corner and hugged their quilts to catch up on their sleep.
Tian An accidentally saw a book in Lord Wei's medicine box and wanted to borrow it from him to pass the time.
"It's just some random notes. If you don't mind, you can use them to kill time!" Doctor Wei handed the notes to Tian An readily.
After thanking him, Tian An happily walked into the inner hall holding the book.
He first checked the queen's condition, and after confirming that everything was normal, he opened Doctor Wei's notes and began to read.
It can be called notes, and it is indeed notes. The book records some difficult and complicated diseases that Doctor Wei encountered when treating patients, as well as his views on the diseases and treatment plans.
It was the first time for Tian An to read someone else's medical notes. He originally wanted to borrow them to kill time during the long night, but he didn't expect to become more and more fascinated by them the more he read.
Lord Wei is worthy of being the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau. When he diagnoses and prescribes medicine, he uses the right amount of medicine appropriately and properly, and basically all diseases can be cured.
Tian An read carefully. When he came across a good recipe, he would carefully consider what made it good and write it down. If he came across something he thought was bad, he would also write it down on a piece of paper and leave his comments, tucked inside the book, which was also a kind of knowledge exchange.
After reading for about half an hour, Tian An finally looked up from Doctor Wei's notes.
The time she estimated that the Queen might have a fever had arrived.
He put down his notes and walked to the queen's bed. He looked over and saw that the queen's face was flushed. He reached out and touched her forehead and cheeks, and they were indeed very hot.
Tian An hurriedly took the Queen's pulse, then went outside and shouted, "The Queen has started to have a fever."
Suddenly, the sleepiness of the imperial doctors sleeping on the floor in the corner was scared away, and the entire Kunning Palace became busy.
Fortunately, they had already prepared several herbs for fever reduction and were simmering them. Now, they only needed to check the Queen's pulse and determine which herbs to use, and they could serve the broth immediately.
Of course, the task of feeding the medicine still fell on Tian An.
When several imperial doctors saw Tian An holding up the medicine, they couldn't help but remind her, "Lady Xiang, be careful when feeding the medicine. Don't burn the Empress!"
"Don't worry! I will definitely be very careful."
…
Throughout the night, the queen had a fever that came and went, and it was not until dawn that her condition finally stabilized.
Tian An was fine as he had a nap during the day, but the imperial doctors were all exhausted.
However, they finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that the queen's condition had stabilized.
After passing this test, the queen's life was saved, and their lives were saved as well.
Tian An also breathed a sigh of relief, tucked the quilt for the queen, and just walked to the door of the inner hall.
Then a palace maid came in with a tray in her hand and her head lowered.
Tian An noticed that her hands seemed dirty and scolded her, "Stop! Have you disinfected yourself? Who let you in?"
The maid was slightly stunned and said hurriedly, "My Lord, it was the kitchen that asked me to come in and bring medicine to the Empress."
"Where's Aunt Qingyi?"
Qingyi is the head maid in the Queen's palace. It was Qingyi who usually delivered the medicine. Moreover, the Queen's condition has stabilized and she does not need to take medicine at the moment. The imperial physician in the small kitchen should know this.
The maid still lowered her head and explained, "Aunt Qingyi suddenly had a stomachache. She was afraid that it would delay the Empress from taking her medicine, so she asked me to bring the medicine over first."
"Is that so! Then give me the medicine!" Tian An pretended not to notice her flaw and reached out to take the medicine.
But the maid refused to give it to him. "The imperial physician said that this medicine must be taken while it's hot. My lord has been tired all night. Let me give the medicine to the Empress!"
"How can feeding medicine to the Empress be tiring? Besides, we've been guarding her all night, so it won't take a moment longer. Just give me the medicine!"
This time, Tian An did not give the palace maid a chance to refuse and took direct action.
