Chapter 17 Tit for Tat
The muscles on the queen's face trembled a few times, her eyes seemed to be ignited by fire, making people afraid to look directly at her. She pointed at the imperial doctor and said hoarsely, "No matter what method you use, I will take Liang Rescue the king."
"Yes, yes!" The imperial doctor was intimidated, turned around hastily, and asked people to go to the Tai Hospital to find someone again.
All the imperial doctors came, and even the court judge hurried over.
There was a mess in the hall, the queen was sitting on the grand master's chair, her former dignity had been torn apart by fear, she was holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and she was chanting scriptures indiscriminately, but her heart couldn't calm down, her eyes kept looking at the bedside .
The prince also stood by, but his expression was quite leisurely, which was in sharp contrast to the panic in the room.
It seemed that the person lying on the bed who was about to lose his life was not his elder brother.
The court judge looked very dignified, watching the decoction being poured down, but he choked so much that King Liang almost stopped breathing, and he dared not take any more medicine.
In this situation, if the breathing problem cannot be relieved quickly, King Liang will be in danger of life.
But using needles is the quickest way to get results. It can open the meridians from the acupuncture points. Although it cannot be said that King Liang can be saved, at least it can breathe smoothly and suspend the danger.
Moreover, medicine cannot be used now, the only way is to use needles.
However, there are almost no people who are proficient in acupuncture and moxibustion in Taiyuan Hospital, and the only person who has studied it is the judge.
The decision-making power for the final treatment is also in the hands of the court judge.
The court judge looked at the queen who was twirling the Buddhist scriptures, and slowly knelt down, "Empress, the only way to save King Liang now is to give acupuncture."
"Needling?" The Queen's brows twitched a few times, and she couldn't help but think of Xia Zian's words again.
She hastily put down the beads and looked at the judge, "Are you sure about giving acupuncture?"
The court judge looked a little embarrassed, "The minister is not sure, but this is the only way."
The queen couldn't help being disappointed, "Then the Japanese Palace asked you about acupuncture, and you said that acupuncture is not appropriate. If you make a mistake when using the needle, what should you do?"
The court judged: "It is risky to give acupuncture at random, but if it is given by someone who is proficient in acupuncture, it can greatly alleviate the current situation of His Royal Highness Liang. It's because I have never met a doctor who is proficient in acupuncture, but the theory of pricking and letting blood is feasible, but unfortunately, I don't know where to find such a genius doctor."
He raised his head suddenly, "Madam, who is the person who proposed to let blood out by acupuncture? Even if he doesn't know acupuncture, maybe he will know some expert."
The queen thought of Xia Zi'an, and guessed that a boudoir girl would not understand the art of acupuncture, but she talked about it all in one way, could it be that she really knows some tall people?
No, no, logically not, Xia Zi'an and Yuan Shi have been in the prime minister's mansion and have never seen anything in the world, Prime Minister Xia will not let her go out to meet people, how can she know some expert?
An imperial doctor heard the sentence of the court, and stepped forward and said: "Empress, it is impossible for Xia Zian to know any expert, what kind of medical skills does a woman know? Just know a few words, in the field history or some folk doctors I saw it in the third-rate medical books I edited, so I boasted that the best doctors in the world are all in the palace."
The imperial physician's surname is Liu, and he was the imperial physician who came to rescue King Liang when he fell ill that day. He has recently been promoted to deputy court judge.
That day when An proposed acupuncture and moxibustion, he disliked Zi'an. A boudoir woman dared to raise opinions on the imperial physician.
The queen looked at Yu doctor Liu and felt that what he said made sense. Just as she was about to speak, the prince on the side suddenly became interested when she heard what Yu doctor Liu said, "Doctor Liu, you said that Xia Zian proposed to prick the acupoints to let blood ?”
Liu Yu said: "His Royal Highness, this Xia Zi'an has no medical skills. What he said seems to be feasible, but it is difficult to implement it. If he does not handle it well, he will kill people. It is absolutely unbelievable."
The prince looked at the court sentence, "You just said that acupuncture is the only way?"
The court judge truthfully told, "If you go back to Your Highness, Liang Wang is now having difficulty breathing due to a foreign body choked into his trachea, and he can't infuse the medicinal juice. There is really no other way except for acupuncture."
The crown prince hummed, looked at the queen and said, "My queen, the emperor's brother has no choice but to use needles to rescue him. Although needles are dangerous, if you don't use needles, you will be watching the emperor helplessly." If my brother dies, it is better to call that Xia Zian into the palace. If she knows medical skills, it is the best. If she doesn't, you can also ask her who said those words, so that I can invite that expert into the palace. Heal the emperor."
The queen didn't expect him to say these words. It seems that although there were fights in the past, there was always a brotherhood, and it was revealed at the moment of life and death.
Tears welled up in her eyelashes, "Qiao'er, the queen mother is really pleased that you can say this, it shows that you have always cared about your imperial brother."
The prince also had a sad expression on his face, "My queen, the emperor's brother will be disabled because of my son. If it wasn't for saving my son back then, he wouldn't have been injured and disabled. My son has always been grateful to my brother, but I feel guilty. Excessive, unable to face it, over time, a rift arose in my heart, my son is very regretful now in retrospect, now the father is still lying on the hospital bed, and the emperor's brother is like this, if the son is no longer sensible, this world will be able to survive in the future Who are you counting on?"
The queen held his hand, feeling joy and sorrow in her heart. The joy was that the two brothers had finally reconciled, but the sorrow was that Xin'er was still lying on the bed, not knowing how to live or die.
She had to be cautious, especially when Xin'er's life was at stake.
After pondering for a moment, she still had to make a decision, "Come on, let the regent come into the palace first."
The emperor is seriously ill, and now no one is allowed to visit him. However, he said before that, whenever there is any important decision, the regent Murong Jie must be consulted.
Therefore, even though the queen was very reluctant to see this little uncle, she still had to order someone to invite him to give advice.
Because, if something goes wrong, in addition to losing a son, she will also be implicated for making a wrong decision.
The people in the palace hurried to invite the regent.
The judge hesitated for a moment, and said: "Empress, His Royal Highness King Liang is in a critical condition. If the regent is invited to come, the condition may change again."
The queen raised her eyes, "Then what's your idea? None of you are good at or proficient in acupuncture. Someone has to make the decision."
Doctor Liu immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I have studied acupuncture and moxibustion. Although I am not proficient in it, it must be able to alleviate His Royal Highness Liang's condition."
Hearing this, the court judge was horrified, "Master Liu, you can't be brave, it's about the life and death of His Royal Highness Liang Wang. Your acupuncture skills are not yet ready, so you must not use acupuncture indiscriminately."
Ever since Liu Yuyi was promoted to deputy court judge, he has been thinking of kicking this person away. Although he scolded Xia Zian that day, he went back to think about it, checked the medical books, and found that what she said was very serious. Makes sense.
Although he was not fully sure about his acupuncture technique, he couldn't do the bloodletting treatment step, but it was still possible to relieve his breathing.
