Chapter 546 Tetanus
Yan Xiuyun suddenly fainted, and the entire study and even the palace fell into chaos.
Seven or eight imperial doctors rushed in, and soon the Queen, Qin Yuwei and others also rushed over after hearing the news.
Everyone waited anxiously outside the study.
Qin Yuwei had heard that the emperor had a sudden accident during his conversation with Zhu Lan, and subconsciously turned her gaze to Zhu Lan.
Zhu Lan signaled her with his eyes, and he didn't know what was going on.
Li Yao had just given birth and came hurriedly with the help of her maid. As soon as she saw Zhu Lan, she asked him sternly:
"Your Majesty was fine originally, why did he suddenly become like this while talking to you?
Did you do something to intentionally harm His Majesty! ? "
Li Yao's words immediately drew everyone's attention to Zhu Lan.
Zhu Lan frowned slightly, but before she could speak, Manager Zhao beside her had already explained to everyone:
"My ladies, just now your majesty was talking to Zhu Zhongcheng, and this old servant was waiting by his side, and the palace maids and eunuchs were also there.
This matter...has nothing to do with Zhu Zhongcheng."
Li Yao wanted to say something else when the door to the study room suddenly opened.
"Imperial Physician Zhang, how is His Majesty?" Dong Lanxin asked.
Imperial Physician Zhang's face looked very ugly, with a hint of panic.
He glanced at everyone and whispered to the ladies to come in and talk.
Zhu Lan was also worried about Yan Xiuyun's situation, but since he was an outsider after all, he had to wait outside the door.
Dong Lanxin quickly came to Yan Xiuyun's couch and saw that there were silver needles in many acupuncture points on his body. The symptoms of spasm had been suppressed, but he had not yet woken up.
The imperial doctors beside him knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please wake up and look at me, Your Majesty——"
Li Yao rushed forward, threw herself beside Yan Xiuyun and burst into tears, her voice piercing people's eardrums.
"Why are you crying!" Dong Lanxin shouted at Li Yao in a stern voice.
She whispered to Imperial Physician Zhang what was happening to the emperor.
Imperial Doctor Zhang was sweating profusely and stuttered when he spoke:
"Your Majesty, the Emperor's illness is rare and insidious, and it was caused by an arrow wound he sustained during a personal expedition.
The arrow wound was initially treated properly and healed well, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.
In fact... in fact, the filthy energy is extremely secretive, lurking deep in the blood, and cannot be detected by ordinary pulse diagnosis."
Dong Lan was shocked and asked in disbelief:
"You are the imperial doctors, known as the most skilled doctors in the world. You usually diagnose the emperor's pulse, but no one noticed this hidden danger!?"
Imperial Physician Zhang knelt down in panic and kowtowed:
“This disease did not have any obvious abnormalities at first, and the emperor’s dragon body was healthy and his qi and blood were vigorous, so the filthy qi was suppressed and difficult to show.
Moreover, Your Majesty is usually diligent in governing the country. Since returning to the capital from the northwest, you have only summoned me and others once. After that, every time the dressing was changed, it was Zhao Zongguan who was in charge.
However, these diseases lurk very deep in the human body, and Manager Zhao is not proficient in medicine, so it is impossible for him to see the clues..."
Dong Lanxin waved her hand to interrupt his explanation, "No matter what, you must cure His Majesty, otherwise watch out for your head!"
Upon hearing this, Imperial Physician Zhang shuddered, and trembled along with the other imperial physicians.
"Empress, we will do our best, but... the emperor's illness is extremely serious.
The foul air has penetrated deeply into the blood and cannot be eliminated overnight.
All we can do now is to try our best to suppress its spread, relieve the emperor's pain, and buy time to find a better treatment method."
After hearing this, Dong Lanxin's face darkened, but she also understood that this matter could not be rushed.
She took a deep breath and said slowly:
“I know this is difficult for you, but the emperor is the foundation of Daliang, you must use all your knowledge and do your best to treat him.
I will also search for famous doctors all over the world to find a good prescription to treat the emperor. During this period, if there is any progress or need, please report to me in time. "
Yan Xiuyun was seriously ill and needed rest. As the queen, Dong Lanxin had to stay and take care of him. She asked other concubines to return to the palace first to avoid crying like Li Yao and disturbing the emperor's rest.
Since Zhu Lan was a woman, Yan Xiuyun had allowed her to enter the harem to visit Qin Yuwei.
She returned to Changyu Palace with Qin Yuwei. Yan Jing was studying with Crown Prince Yan Ning today and had not returned yet.
Qin Yuwei dismissed all the servants and pulled Zhu Lan to sit down, her expression extremely solemn.
"Lanlan, I have a bad feeling."
Qin Yuwei raised her eyes and looked deeply at Zhu Lan.
"I just heard the imperial physician describe the emperor's illness, and it seems to be... tetanus."
"Sure enough." Zhu Lan said in a deep voice.
When she was waiting outside the study just now, she already had a vague guess in her mind.
Both of them looked unhappy.
There was no vaccine in this era, and if it was really tetanus, the mortality rate would be almost 100%.
Even if the imperial doctors could temporarily suppress the disease using special methods, it would be impossible to cure it completely.
"If this is true, I'm afraid we have to prepare for the worst..."
Zhu Lan spoke slowly, looking at Qin Yuwei with concern in her eyes.
Qin Yuwei lowered her eyes and sighed:
“I have been in the palace for many years. Although I cannot say that I am completely sincere to the emperor, he has never treated me unfairly.
What's more, he is also Jing'er's father.
If anything happens to him, I'm worried Jing'er won't be able to accept it."
Zhu Lan gently held her hand, his tone somewhat helpless:
“Maybe Jing’er isn’t as fragile as you think.
The emperor's condition can only be left to fate now, but we must prepare for the worst.
Judging from the current situation, the emperor seems to have the intention of supporting the Li family.
Once it really comes to that, what will you and Jing'er do in the future?"
Zhu Lan paused for a moment, making sure there was no one else around, and then lowered his voice slightly and said:
“Yuwei, there’s something I’ve always wanted to talk to you about.
In fact... Jing'er's talent is not inferior to that of the Crown Prince."
Qin Yuwei was slightly startled when she heard this, and looked up at Zhu Lan. Zhu Lan also looked at her steadily, his eyes as dark as ink.
Qin Yuwei looked away and unconsciously tightened her handkerchief.
"Lanlan, I understand what you mean, but don't mention this matter again.
Maybe what you said is right, but I just hope Jing'er can grow up safely and happily and do what she wants to do.
If it were someone else, I might support your idea, but - oh, you see, that's how human nature is, when it happens to you, you think differently. "
Qin Yuwei shook her head slightly.
"Things in this palace are too complicated and dangerous. You have to understand my position as a mother."
"Okay." Zhu Lan nodded, knowing that it was useless to persuade him at this moment, and did not continue the topic.
