Chapter 2571 Severe Punishment
If there is follow-up treatment, it means there is still hope of survival.
Not only the emperor, but also the Prince of Hejian and others standing nearby breathed a sigh of relief, and their hearts, which had been in their throats, calmed down a little.
Man Bao and Doctor Liu, the director of Xiaoyuan, stood and looked at the patient for a long time. They reached out and felt his pulse. Although the patient was not awake yet, his pulse was not as chaotic and disordered as it was at the beginning. It was sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
So Manbao nodded to Xiao Yuanzheng.
Xiao Yuanzheng went out to report the patient's condition.
The emperor frowned, "Only a 30% chance?"
Xiao Yuanzheng lowered his eyes and replied, "Yes, because the injury is to the head."
Although he knew that it would be more beneficial to the emperor to act in a positive way at this time, Xiao Yuanzheng could not transfer the risk to the Imperial Hospital.
And he hadn't said anything else, but he was smart enough to glance at the emperor's expression and didn't continue.
The emperor sighed and ordered, "No matter what medicine you use, you must save Master Zheng."
He added, "You and Imperial Physician Liu and Zhou Man will take turns guarding and keeping an eye on them. If anything happens to anyone, I will hold you responsible."
Dean Xiao agreed respectfully. He knew that as long as it wasn't a medical accident, the worst he would get is a scolding. After all, he had already said the success rate was so low.
The emperor glanced at Zheng Wang, then at the Prince of Hejian. His expression grew solemn, and he said gravely, "Come here, send the Prince of Hejian back. Li Gong, you will be confined for the next few days. If Zheng Erlang is alright, it's fine. If he is, hmph!"
The Prince of Hejian knelt down and responded, then stood up and was taken away by the guards.
The emperor forced a smile at Zheng Wang and said, "Mr. Zheng, go back and rest first. Mr. Zheng will stay in the Eastern Palace. The Crown Prince and the Imperial Hospital will take care of him. You can rest assured."
Zheng Wang came back to his senses. He knew that the emperor and the Prince of Hejian had a good relationship. At this time, he must have hoped that Zheng Erlang was alive, but it was impossible for him to abandon his nephew and leave the palace. Therefore, he wiped his tears and expressed his worry, and asked to stay in the East Palace.
The emperor agreed after only a few words of persuasion, and not only kept Zheng Wang, but also kept Duke Pi and Lu Zhongyan, because Zheng Erlang's fiancée was Lu Zhongyan's niece and also the younger sister of Duke Pi's eldest daughter-in-law.
That's why the emperor sent Zheng Erlang to the Eastern Palace, not only because the prince was the crown prince, but also because he and Zheng Erlang were somewhat related.
Wei Zhi and others did not leave. They just changed the place to wait for the emperor. This matter must be resolved. Even if it cannot be resolved today, they have to discuss the handling opinions first.
The emperor stood in a garden and whispered to Xiao Yuanzheng, "A 30% chance..."
The emperor closed his eyes and asked, "Any other questions?"
Xiao Yuanzheng whispered, "Your Majesty, the human brain is very strange. If the brain is severely damaged, even if the person survives, they may still have various problems."
The emperor listened carefully, "For example..."
"For example, a person may be unable to wake up and remain in a coma; or hemiplegia may occur, with his hands and feet unable to move; or he may become aphasic, blind, or even become a fool..."
The emperor's face darkened and he asked, "Is there no other way?"
"Your Majesty, if it were somewhere else in the body, we would still have a chance, but within the brain, there's only so much we can do."
"Where's Zhou Man?"
"Imperial Physician Zhou mentioned the acupuncture method to awaken the mind and awaken the brain, but that requires the patient to be awake before it can be used. Furthermore, Imperial Physician Zhou has only heard of this acupuncture method," Xiao Yuanzheng said. "What we need to do now is stop the bleeding and reduce the swelling. As for the fractured skull, we can only let it heal slowly..."
This is the case with bones, not to mention the brain inside them.
The emperor rubbed his forehead with a headache, "Tell Zhou Man to search the medical books in the Hanlin Academy and Chongwenguan. She must save the patient and make sure he lives a healthy life!"
Having said that, Xiao Yuanzheng also agreed, but who knows if he can do it in the end?
The emperor said softly, "This matter needs to be kept secret only from the Imperial Hospital. It must not be spread outside for the time being."
Xiao Yuanzheng understood that if the Zheng family knew there were so many side effects, they would be furious.
The emperor then took Gu Zhong away and went to discuss with Wei Zhi and others.
Xiao Yuanzheng waited until the emperor was gone before he breathed a sigh of relief. Tired, he returned to find Zhou Man and Imperial Physician Liu. He glanced at Master Zheng, who lay unconscious on the bed, and said, "Let's draw lots. Who will be guarding the house this afternoon?"
Manbao raised his hand and said, "I'll guard it, and you two can split the night."
Dean Xiao and Imperial Physician Liu looked at her silently, and one of them said, "The fields are on vacation for half a month, and some people haven't been on duty for a single day."
Doctor Liu patted his lower back and sighed, "My old arms and legs..."
Manbao: "...I just came back from the manor and I'm in high spirits. Can I guard it this afternoon? Okay, then I'll guard it tonight. You two can watch it this afternoon..."
Xiao Yuanzheng thought for a moment and said, "I'll take over. Imperial Physician Liu was on duty last night and must be tired today. He should go back to the Imperial Hospital to rest first and take over tomorrow morning."
He said, "Be alert. Although his pulse is now stable, you still have to be careful. If there is another intracranial hemorrhage, I will send someone to call you."
The two of them immediately nodded in agreement.
"So, in order to make it easier to call for help, you should just stay in the Imperial Hospital."
The matter was settled, but Manbao thought about the small room in the Imperial Hospital and felt a little disgusted, so he said to Xiao Yuanzheng: "I will go to find Princess Mingda. If you want to find me, just send someone to go to Princess Mingda."
Xiao Yuanzheng waved at her to show that he understood.
Manbao immediately went to find Princess Mingda.
Bai Shan was also here, having lunch with Bai Erlang Mingda. When he saw her coming, he immediately stood up and greeted her, "How is it?"
Manbao said: "He is seriously injured. I am not sure if he can be saved."
When Mingda heard this, she became worried. She had a good relationship with her cousin, Prince Hejian, so when the emperor shouted in the palace that he wanted to kill Prince Hejian, the palace notified her to come to the palace to plead for mercy.
Bai Erlang comforted her, "Your Majesty won't really kill the Prince of Hejian, don't worry."
Everyone knows this, but if he is not killed, there will definitely be punishment, and making enemies with the Zheng family is not a good thing.
Bai Erlang felt that this Mr. Zheng was even more unlucky. "I heard that he was also a favored child in Xingyang. Isn't this too unlucky?"
Manbao and Baishan also felt that he was unlucky and asked, "Who asked him to go to the farm?"
Mingda sighed and said, "Lord Yin is already investigating."
But she felt it was difficult to find out anything, and the fact that the two village heads had a fight was a very serious matter.
Wei Zhi and others also felt that this was a very serious matter. Even if Zheng Erlang had not been injured, fighting over water was still a very bad thing.
Especially since so many people were killed before.
Everyone involved in this matter should be held severely accountable. It's just that the involvement of Master Zheng has made the matter more complicated.
Since this is the case, let's keep things simple and follow the rules and criminal law. Wei Zhi believes that the Zheng and Li families and the two village heads should all be severely punished.
See you at 4 p.m.
