Chapter 036 If not, then shut up!
The old doctor's arms were pincered by the broken ink, unable to move forward, yet he continued to shout, "Is there a way?"
Jiang Qingpu didn't recognize the person who came. He thought that the person traveling with the princess must be rich or noble, but his mind was full of saving people.
He couldn't bear to watch dozens of lives being lost in one day.
"Doctor Jiang, calm down first."
Qin Zhaoqiong knew that Jiang Qingpu was eager to save people, and he stayed by the side of critically ill patients day and night without asking for anything in return. This was enough proof.
Sui Mo nodded slightly. She could naturally see that the old doctor had no ill intentions, so he used clever strength and did not hurt anyone.
At this point, Qin Zhaoqiong could only grit his teeth and look behind him, "Zhaoyue, do you really have a solution?"
Qin Zhaoyue took a deep breath and said, "I'm not sure if it will work. The success rate may be... less than 30%."
There was an immediate commotion in the team, and many people looked unhappy. Thirty percent was too low.
But Jiang Qingpu doesn't think so.
He had tried everything, and even using his own treasured ginseng to keep patients alive, he could not stop one patient from dying after another.
Seeing that he had calmed down, Sui Mo released his grip.
"Can you let me take a look at the prescription? Maybe I can improve it."
“It’s not a prescription…”
Seeing her hesitation, Qin Zhaoqiong took the initiative to speak: "Sixth sister, you can speak as you please."
It’s not that Qin Zhaoyue doesn’t want to say it, but it’s not certain whether there is a 30% success rate or not.
She did not have any professional medical knowledge, but she had been locked up in the hospital for half a year during that period and had seen some strange cases.
There was once a girl who had been dieting for a long time and was admitted to the hospital for emergency treatment due to severe diarrhea.
The situation was very critical at the time. She had metabolic alkali poisoning and unfortunately contracted the virus. The treatment was difficult and she spent most of her time in the ICU.
Because the girl was so thin that she was almost unrecognizable, she had inquired about some information.
In Qin Zhaoyue's opinion, these patients in Mingyan County should be suffering from acute alkali poisoning, which cannot be metabolized by the body.
It’s no wonder that the doctors are helpless. I have the impression that in the later stages of the disease, it can only be treated through blood perfusion, but that kind of technology is not available in this era.
All Qin Zhaoyue can think of now are some ingredients of rehydration. Under the current conditions, it is difficult to determine whether it is saving lives or killing people.
There are too many unstable factors, and I hadn't made up my mind before coming here whether I really wanted to speak out this ridiculous idea.
But aren’t the imperial physician and the old doctor already helpless?
"The method I'm talking about is injecting brine into the patient's veins."
Of course, brine is not really injected, it has to go through a series of treatments, but there is no point in saying more.
Sure enough, after hearing her method, the surroundings fell into dead silence.
"Nonsense!" an official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs shouted immediately, "What kind of method is this? Isn't this murderous?"
"This matter involves human life and death, so Sixth Princess should not interfere."
The officials who had originally changed their minds about the Sixth Princess because of the water purification issue instantly overturned their previous thoughts:
As expected, she is still the same Sixth Princess, absurd, naughty, and reckless.
Pei Xueqiao frowned.
He was well-read and had read many medical books.
There is a note that says tea, salt and vinegar can all be used as medicine, but injecting brine into the human body... this method is unheard of.
This is not Jingshui. If she acts recklessly and kills someone, her already bad reputation will plummet to the bottom, and she may even be impeached by the censors.
But when he looked up, Qin Zhaoyue's expression clearly did not look like he was fooling around at all.
He was solemn and calm, completely different from the one I saw in the capital.
Pei Xueqi couldn't help but wonder, is it really possible?
Meng Jian's gaze also fell on Qin Zhaoyue's face.
He has a high level of cultivation and can sense more subtle emotions and physical conditions.
His heartbeat quickened slightly, his breathing steadied, and his expression told him that the Sixth Princess was no joke.
What is even more absurd is that she made such a statement after careful consideration.
Meng Jian was in charge of establishing a centralized medical treatment area at the time. When dividing patients into mild and severe cases, the imperial physicians had already diagnosed and treated them.
Because of his identity, he did not hide it.
Perhaps some of them can be saved, but the cost and time are unbearable, and the possibility of success is very low.
Disaster relief was urgent, so the imperial physicians chose to treat the vast majority of patients with mild symptoms who had a chance of surviving.
At that time, Meng Jian thought there was nothing wrong with it. Half a day later, he was transferred to the landslide lake to investigate the flood discharge, so he no longer paid attention to it.
But standing in this room, Meng Jian couldn't remain indifferent.
He also hoped that the Sixth Princess could come up with a way to save people, but injecting brine into the body...
Jiang Qingpu ignored everyone's questions and asked, "What is a vein?"
"The arteries are the channels through which Qi and blood are transported in the human body. Arteries supply blood to the organs, while veins collect blood and return it to the heart."
Jiang Qingpu pondered for a moment, "Which book records this theory of Qi and blood transport?"
"An ancient book."
The risk of this matter is too great, and Qin Zhaoyue cannot use the name of a Taoist priest to do it.
As a princess, she might be able to bear the consequences, but an unknown alchemist definitely could not.
Before Jiang Qingpu could ask again, the withered old man curled up in the corner suddenly began to twitch violently again.
"master!"
He no longer cared about anything else. With the help of the medicine boy, he rushed over and threw himself beside the old man.
"Quick, take my silver needle!"
Soon, Jiang Qingpu applied acupuncture according to the previous method, but this time there was no effect.
The old man's convulsions became more and more intense, and his eyes rolled up. The two medicine boys, one on his left and one on his right, could hardly hold him down.
"help!"
The personal guards immediately stepped forward upon receiving the order and replaced the medicine boy. With the powerful force, they finally controlled the old man's body.
After a few breaths, Jiang Qingpu was already sweating profusely.
"Come here, help me hold this place down!"
Amidst the screams, a personal guard immediately stepped forward and pinched the "Shenmenxue" on the old man's wrist.
After getting rid of the wound, Jiang Qingpu immediately took out two silver needles and inserted them quickly, one into the "Tan Zhong" point and the other into the "Guan Yuan" point.
"Ginseng slices!"
The medicine boy was well prepared and took out a thin piece of ginseng slice from the medicine bag on his waist.
The two men worked together to pry open the old man's mouth, stuffed the ginseng slices under his tongue, and pressed his mouth to prevent him from spitting them out.
After twenty or thirty breaths, the old man's body finally calmed down and stopped twitching.
"Okay, let go..."
Jiang Qingpu's voice was filled with fatigue. After the guards left, he immediately began to check the old man's condition.
His pulse was weak, his breath was barely moving, and his face looked very ugly.
Here it comes again. Jiang Qingpu has experienced too much these days and knows what the old man’s current condition means.
He stood up, walked in front of Qin Zhaoyue again, and bowed deeply, "Please use your power, young lady."
Qin Zhaoyue stepped forward and helped him up, but before he could reply, the other officials became unhappy.
"What nonsense are you talking about, old doctor? This method is unheard of."
"Yeah, isn't this a disregard for human life?"
"No, this is absolutely not possible."
Amidst the doubts, Jiang Qingpu straightened his back with difficulty, "There's no time..."
"What did you say?"
"There's no time left," Jiang Qingpu murmured. "That was just a brief moment of life. He'll be dead in less than an hour!"
Having handled so much and seen so many things happen, he knew that the old man was on his deathbed.
He was rescued this time, but it was of no use, he was just barely surviving.
Jiang Qingpu looked up at Qin Zhaoyue and said, "Don't even mention 30%, even if there is only a sliver of hope, we can only try our best to save the situation."
Qin Zhaoyue's breathing stagnated, and his eyes became much more determined.
"Sister, I need brine, dried kelp, the still I just used, strong liquor, clean silk and linen."
Qin Zhaoqiong clenched her fists, "Sixth sister, have you made up your mind?"
"How can this be..."
The next moment, Qin Zhaoyue turned around and fixed his stern gaze on the official who tried to stop him.
"If you have a way to save people, please tell me now.
If not, then shut up!"
