I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

After Li Shen's conversation with Concubine Wei yesterday, Li Shen did not go to the Imperial College today, but to the Ministry of Punishments. The Minister of Justice at this time was Li Daozong. Li Shimin's cousin. Li Shen found Li Daozong directly.

"My nephew has met the emperor's uncle," Li Shen said politely.

"Li Shen, what brings you to my place?" Li Daozong was not very familiar with Li Shen, so his attitude was businesslike.

"Go back to the emperor. My nephew is here because he wants to borrow some prisoners from the prison for experiments." Li Shen said bluntly.

"The Criminal Department is a very important prison. Outsiders are not allowed to enter without permission. This is the rule." Li Daozong was very disrespectful.

"Uncle Emperor, my nephew is going to experiment on a new drug. He is only looking for people who are about to die. If the experiment is successful, the merits will be immeasurable. Those people are dying anyway, and if they are saved, there will be fewer deaths in the Ministry of Punishment, right? ." Li Shen explained

Li Daozong thought for a moment and decided to let Li Shen in. He is a prince after all. In this era, all laws and regulations are made for the common people. Nobles beat common people to death without going to jail.

Then he personally took Li Shen down to the prison, not out of respect for Li Shen, but mainly because he was afraid that Li Shen would cause trouble again and he would not be able to explain to him.

"Uncle Emperor, are there any prisoners in this prison who are dying of injuries or illness," Li Shen asked Li Daozong.

Li Daozong didn't know, so he looked at the accompanying jailer and said,

"Reply to the prince. There are a few people like this. Anyway, they are all repeat offenders. So I haven't seen the doctor. Two people died in the past few days and a few more are probably going to die soon. One of them may be due to gas disease. Always coughing,” the jailer replied quickly.

"Well, very good." Li Shen was very satisfied.

Later, the jailer led the way and saw several people, three of whom were injured for unknown reasons. The wound began to fester. And I have a bit of a fever. Another one kept coughing. Li Shen ordered the four people to be imprisoned together. Then he asked Shitou, the personal eunuch, to use white wine to help clean the wounds of the injured ones. Li Shen's white wine was all distilled high-strength alcohol.

It was distilled by Li Shen and used to sterilize the utensils when he was making penicillin. Since you can make distilled water, you can naturally distill high alcohol. It was just a few more distillations, but the pain from cleaning the wounds with alcohol made several prisoners struggle. Several jailers rushed up to help hold him down. Li Daozong frowned as he watched.

After the wound is treated, apply penicillin liquid to the wound. Wrap it in linen. It would be best to use cotton, but Li Shen didn't have any. Just make do. Then the most critical step is performed by Li Shen, which is the injection. His needles are boiled and soaked in alcohol to prevent bacterial growth. Li Shen first used a bamboo needle to do a skin test on the prisoner. It doesn't matter if you're allergic or not, you're the prisoner anyway. Mainly depends on the effect of skin test. None of the three experienced redness or swelling. Then prepare for injection.

Li Shen injected different amounts into the three people. Stone records. Accompany Li Shen to read and learn to read naturally. The amount for three people is half a bamboo tube and one bamboo tube respectively. Two bamboo tubes. The bamboo tube is as thick as a finger. It was about the same thickness and length as the injection in his previous life. The prisoner was extremely frightened when he saw Li Shen holding such a big needle. He had never seen such a torture instrument before. Crying has said everything. It made Li Shen dumbfounded.

Li Shen ordered the jailer to lie down, hold the person down, and take off his pants. Many people think that intramuscular injection and pricking the arm are enough. actually not. Li Shen remembered asking the nurse who gave him the injection. Large-dose drug injections must be injected into the buttocks. The muscle layer is thickly cut and relaxed. It is not easy to pierce bones and has many capillaries. Facilitates drug absorption. The muscle layer of the arm is shallow, so it is easy to prick the nerves and difficult to absorb.

It was also the first time that Li Shen gave an injection to someone. Try not to pierce deeply, but the needle is a bit thick. The prisoner who was stabbed screamed. Li Daozong felt pain in his buttocks while watching. After that, it was much easier for the coughing one. He just took a shot of medicine without saying a word. Then Li Shen waited in the cell for half an hour. When he saw that everyone was still alive, he got up and followed Li Daozong out of the prison.

"Thank you, uncle. I'm sorry for bothering you. Please take good care of these prisoners. Make arrangements for food and drink, and be sure to eat enough. I'll come tomorrow," Li Shen thanked

"No need to be polite. You can come by yourself tomorrow. I just want to say hello to the cell leader." Li Daozong will not have time to accompany Li Shen tomorrow. Just know that he is not killing criminals

Soon the next morning it was early. Li Shen led the people to the Penal Department Prison, and the cell leader led the people into the cell where the prisoners were yesterday. Li Shen stepped forward to observe for a while and found that they were all still alive. Then he asked the jailer. "How did these four people react yesterday?"

"Back to the prince, one of the three people was convulsing and frothing at the mouth. He steamed all night. Fortunately, he didn't die. The others are normal. The one who coughed didn't seem to cough so much last night." The jailer said replied

After Li Shen listened, he looked at the person he was pointing to. poor spirit. His face turned pale. Li Shen thought it might be too much medicine. There is no such thing as drug resistance among people in this era. A little bit of the medicine will take effect.

So Li Shen is going to reduce the dose of medicine for this person today and will take a look. After another simple questioning. Li Shen started the injection experiment on the second day. Same scene. The same cry. Li Shen felt that his skills were much better than the first day, so why were he still shouting like this? After the injection, it is time to debridement the stone. Same scene, same call.

Then it lasted for five days. Li Shen would do the same thing every day, making the prisoners in other cells terrified all day long.

Today is the seventh day. The person who was coughing basically stopped coughing. Breathing became easier. The remaining three people changed the dosage of medicine after Li Shen changed it. The legs have begun to scar. Moreover, the three of them no longer have fever. This made Li Shen even more excited. The jailer regarded Li Shen as a miracle doctor. It's not easy to revive a dying person. For safety reasons. Li Shen plans to play for two more days to consolidate. What if used too much, it will damage the liver and kidneys. It's not important compared to life.

In the Li Zheng Hall, Queen Changsun's health turned out to be getting worse. The cough is getting worse and worse. The antitussive decoction prescribed by the imperial doctor had some effect at first. But now it's not getting through at all. Queen Changsun coughed all night long. My throat was broken by coughing. Li Shimin has no interest in government affairs these days. Leave everything to the left and right servants and the prince to decide. And he has always been by Queen Changsun's side.

"Is there really nothing we can do?" At this moment, Li Shimin summoned Li Xiuwei from the Imperial Medical Office. He wanted to hear some good news. Even if it's a little bit of hope. Empress Changsun has been with him since she was a child. Deep feelings. In modern terms, it is love. Now he is only 36 years old. How to make Li Shimin bear it.

"Your Majesty, I have been back for more than a month and have read through all the medical books. Please forgive me for my incompetence. With the queen's current body, she is already ill in her lungs. There is no way to save her. Your Majesty, please make plans in advance." Li Xiuwei Please inform Li Shimin very tactfully to prepare for the funeral.

Li Shimin waved his hands in disappointment. Li Xiuwei bowed and retreated. He knew that Li Shimin was disappointed. But there was nothing he could do. Li Shimin was melancholy for a while. After adjusting my mood, I entered the room.

"Erlang, don't embarrass anyone with my affairs anymore." Queen Changsun is kind. At this time, he was still trying to persuade Li Shimin not to embarrass the imperial doctor. In recent years, many officials have been exempted from punishment because of Empress Changsun. Otherwise Wei Zheng would have died long ago.

"Guanyin Maid, don't worry. I just asked the imperial doctor when you will recover. The imperial doctor asked you to rest. You will be fine soon." Li Shimin consoled him.

"Erlang. I know my illness myself. I can no longer accompany you. From now on, you have to control your temper and listen to the advice of your ministers. Fortunately, all the civil and military officials in the dynasty are loyal and good people. The inner palace will be handed over in the future. Let Concubine Wei make the decision. He is kind-hearted and has authority. He never forms cliques in the harem. Cough...cough...cough..." Empress Changsun began to explain the funeral affairs

"Guanyin Maid, don't talk. Have a good rest." Li Shimin said sadly. His eyes sparkled with tears.

"I'm afraid Erlang will go at any time. There are some things I need to say earlier." Queen Changsun wanted to continue.

"Guanyin Maid, no, you will be fine. Have a good rest." Li Shimin wanted Queen Changsun to rest.

"His Majesty, His Majesty the King of Shen, asks for an audience." At this time, Wang De came in and reported

"Get out. Didn't you see that the Queen wants to rest? Go get twenty rollers and tell Li Shen not to disturb the Queen. Get out," Li Shimin yelled. He was full of emotions that needed to be vented.

"Wait a minute, let Shen'er come in," Queen Changsun said to Wang De who was about to go out.

"Erlang, you have forgotten what I just said. Don't vent your anger on others. Shen'er came to see me with good intentions. Let him in." Queen Changsun saw that Wang De was immovable and said to Li Shimin

"Let him come in." Li Shimin obediently ordered Wang De
