Looking at the old man on the bed, seeing his frail and aged appearance, Yun Duoduo felt a pang of sadness. She picked up the kettle on the table to pour him a glass of water, but there was no water in the kettle.
Yun Duoduo sighed, and under the moonlight, she quietly ran to her room, grabbed a pot of hot water, and then ran to Grand Secretary Guan's room, poured a cup of hot water, and handed it to Grand Secretary Guan's lips.
Grand Secretary Guan slowly raised his withered and aged hand, but because he lacked the strength, it fell down as soon as he raised it.
He sighed, seemingly feeling helpless about his current situation.
"Grand Secretary Guan, let me help you up."
Yun Duoduo supported Guan Ge Lao's head, and Guan Ge Lao opened his mouth. Yun Duoduo fed him a few sips of water.
After finishing her water, Yun Duoduo put the cup on the table and walked back to Grand Secretary Guan's side.
"Grand Secretary Guan, let me take your pulse." Yun Duoduo placed her chubby little hand on Grand Secretary Guan's wrist.
Grand Secretary Guan slightly opened his eyes and glanced at Yun Duoduo.
Yun Duoduo gently patted Grand Secretary Guan's shoulder. "Grand Secretary Guan, don't worry, I won't harm you." She didn't know if Grand Secretary Guan would listen to her, but as a doctor, she still had to comfort the patient.
As time went by, Yun Duoduo's brows furrowed tightly.
[That bastard is truly treacherous and cunning. Grand Secretary Guan's current state isn't due to poisoning, but rather starvation!]
[In this way, when Grand Secretary Guan passes away, nothing will be found; it can only be said that the old man was getting old and his health was declining.]
However, this makes things simpler. There's no need to go to the trouble of preparing an antidote; as long as Grand Secretary Guan has sufficient nutrition, his health will gradually improve.
After taking Guan Gelao's pulse, Yun Duoduo began to think about how to treat him.
[It seems that Grandpa Guan is only eating simple rice porridge to keep his body afloat. His body is severely damaged and lacks sufficient nutrition, urgently needing supplementation. According to medical assessment, the first step is to give him intravenous fluids to replenish his energy and fluids.]
Intravenous fluid replacement...
So here's the problem: firstly, she had no medication; secondly, the intravenous rehydration process is very complicated and time-consuming...
Yun Duoduo scratched her head. "This is difficult!"
[Without medicine and unable to source it locally, and with traditional Chinese medicine taking too long to work, she couldn't stay at the Guan residence indefinitely. If she did, Guan Wude would definitely become suspicious. Moreover, no matter how careful she was, frequent visits here would likely lead to her being discovered.]
Once Grand Secretary Guan's health improves, Guan Wude will likely notice, so we must act quickly and give Guan Wude no time to react!
Thinking of this, Yun Duoduo immediately took action. She looked at the sleeping Grand Secretary Guan, calmed herself down, and found a slightly cleaner and less dusty place to kneel down.
She clasped her hands together and muttered incantations, "[Master Medicine Box, Duoduo needs 20% fat emulsion, ciprofloxacin, 500ml of sodium lactate Ringer's solution, alcohol, an infusion set, and a syringe.]"
After saying that, Yun Duoduo opened her eyes and looked nervously at the empty space at the foot of the bed, but it was empty except for dust.
Yun Duoduo begged again, but still nothing came of it. She pleaded for a long time, but the medicine box still didn't appear.
She stood up and rummaged through drawers and cupboards, rummaged through the bed curtains, looked under the table, and then lay down on the floor to look under the bed, but there was still nothing there.
Oh dear, what should we do?
Unlike before, this time she asked for the first-aid kit without giving any money.
She could understand; from the perspective of a medicine box, wanting medicine without paying was simply being unreasonable!
But she doesn't have any jewelry on her body right now! She touched her chest and then rummaged through her sleeves, but there was nothing there. She then touched her head. In the past few days at the Guan residence, no maidservant had come to comb her hair, and she didn't have any jewelry on her head.
Yun Duoduo slumped to the ground in frustration, looking at Grand Secretary Guan on the bed in a bad state. She rubbed her hands together anxiously and slapped her head in annoyance. She should have brought more hairpins and jewelry when she came to the Guan residence!
What should we do now?
Are we going to steal it?
No, it won't do. It wouldn't look good if word got out that the princess of the dynasty was stealing.
Just as she was pondering this, Yun Duoduo suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
【Master Medicine Chef, could you please pay on credit this time?! Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda!】
[Once Duoduo returns to the palace, she will definitely pay back the debt, including interest!]
Yun Duoduo perked up again, knelt on the ground once more, clasped her hands together, and recited the names of the medicines, begging that the medicine box could be bought on credit this time, promising to repay the medicine box with interest next time.
Sure enough, perseverance pays off. After her repeated requests and assurances, the medicine box appeared, half-concealed.
Perhaps because no money was paid, the first-aid kit seemed quite unstable this time, appearing in front of Yun Duoduo.
Two seconds after it appeared, the medicine box suddenly disappeared, and then two seconds later, it suddenly reappeared.
Faced with this sudden change, Yun Duoduo dared not remain in a daze any longer.
Just as the medicine box was about to disappear again, Yun Duoduo was so frightened that she rushed over and looted all the medicine inside. No, she quickly took out all the medicine. Just as her hand left the medicine box, it disappeared at the speed of light.
Sigh, as expected, money is still the key! This money can not only get her the medicine box and the medicine she needs, but also keep the medicine box in operation.
So, if you're rich enough, is it possible to keep your first-aid kit with you at all times?
Yun Duoduo thought excitedly, "If the first-aid kit could always stay with me and I could take it whenever I needed it, that would be so convenient!"
"water……"
Grand Secretary Guan spoke weakly. Yun Duoduo snapped out of her daze and quickly poured Grand Secretary Guan a glass of water.
She needed to hurry and deliver the medicine into Grand Secretary Guan's body before dawn.
Intravenous injection of a 20% fat emulsion can provide Guan Gelao's body with energy and essential fatty acids. It must be administered via intravenous drip over a period of no less than 5 hours.
Ciprofloxacin can be used to treat intestinal infections and reduce inflammation; it requires an intravenous infusion over one hour.
Ringer's lactate injection can regulate body fluid, electrolyte and acid-base balance. The adult dose is 500ml via intravenous drip.
Goodness, with so many hours added up, I won't be sleeping tonight; I'll have to pull an all-nighter.
Yun Duoduo prepared the medicine, hung the bottle on the bedside, inserted the needle into Guan Gelao's protruding vein, and sat by his bedside to watch over him.
Judging from Grand Secretary Guan's condition, it will take at least ten days to half a month for him to fully recover. If he can sit up and speak, it will take at least three days.
Yun Duoduo pondered that, at least during these three days of treatment, Guan Wude mustn't notice anything unusual.
