Zhuo Qihua

In Huayang Palace, the imperial physician Ling Bai Shitong brought two imperial physicians who are good at children's diseases to Huayang Palace and immediately consulted His Highness. The diagnosis result is heart-wrenching. It is mumps abscess with high mortality rate in children !Jia Guixie cried and fell into Emperor Yong'an's arms as soon as he heard it.Emperor Yong'an hugged Jiagui Xie tightly, and said to Zhang Xian: "Go to Xiangfu Palace quickly, please come here!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Xian just ran away.Jia Guixie thought of something, broke away from His Majesty, staggered back to his room, and searched for Huang Yanxiao that Zhuo Ji had given him.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! This, this, can this save you! Can this one save you!" As if grabbing a life-saving straw, Jia Guixie, who ran all the way back, stuffed Huang Yanxiao into His Majesty's hand .Emperor Yong'an hugged Jia Guifei with disheveled hair, and said: "Whether it can be used or not, we will know when Shunyu comes. Jiashi, you are a noble lady, don't lose your dignity in front of the palace people."

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty...the minister has only one child, Wu'er, and the minister has only him as a child. If something happens to Wu'er, how will the minister live, how will he live..."

The only son suffers from swollen cheeks, so Jia Guixie can't care about her dignity and dignity as a noble concubine.Emperor Yong'an suppressed his grief, and said to the palace people in the house: "Green your wife."

Jiagui Xie was only wearing an inner robe for indoor use, and her hair was also loose.Jiaguixie was helped out by the palace people in tears.Emperor Yong'an took a deep breath and sat on the edge of the bed, holding the hand of the eldest son of the emperor who had already passed out from the fever. His only hope at the moment was on Zhuo Ji.

Bai Shitong discussed a prescription with two imperial physicians, and after writing it, he handed it over with both hands: "Your Majesty, this is the prescription written by the ministers."

Emperor Yong'an didn't look at it, and said: "You guys wait here. By the way, you know medical skills, wait for him to come and have a look."

Bai Shitong frowned, and obediently took away a large amount of medicinal materials from the Imperial Medical Office, but it is unknown what was produced in the end.So what if Shunyou knows medical skills?The mumps abscess that the imperial medical office can't cure, so what can a brother like him do.But His Majesty said so, Bai Shitong can only say yes.

When Zhuo Ji arrived with Xiaohui and Chang Jing, Xie Jiagui also washed and dressed.Seeing Zhuo Ji, Jia Guixie stepped forward and grabbed him, tears streaming down his face: "Shun, I know you know medical skills, you save my son, you save my son!"

Jia Guixie has lost his composure at this moment, as long as he is someone who knows medical skills, he will put his hope on the other party.Zhuo Ji shook Jia Guixie's icy cold hand forcefully, and said, "I will do my best."

Emperor Yong'an's voice came from inside the house: "Shuntong, come in quickly."

Zhuo Ji withdrew his hand and strode into the room.Jiaguixie followed in with the help of her maidservant.Once inside, Zhuo Ji said: "Open the window a little bit for ventilation, don't stand by the bed."

Emperor Yong'an got up and left the bedside, and the three imperial physicians had no choice but to back away from the bedside when they saw this.Emperor Yong'an asked: "Is it possible to use Huangyanxiao?"

"That's not right. I'll take a look first." Zhuo Ji asked the eunuch in the house to fetch a basin of clean water. After washing his hands carefully, he came to the bedside to check up on the eldest prince.Zhuo Ji's examination method is somewhat different from that of the imperial physician.Bai Shitong wanted to speak out several times, but after seeing His Majesty's serious expression, he swallowed his words.

During Zhuo Ji's examination, His Highness was awake for a while, and when he woke up he cried in pain.Zhuo Ji comforted softly: "Your Highness, I will apply some medicine to you in a while, and the pain will soon be gone. You can't cry now, if you keep crying, the fever will get worse."

Jiaguixie wanted to go forward, but was stopped by Emperor Yong'an.Nan Rongchen was very strong, after Zhuo Ji said that the more he cried, the more he burned, he held back his tears because he didn't want his parents to worry.Zhuo Ji asked Chang Jing to hold up the candle, and asked the eldest prince to open his mouth. After checking the mouth of the eldest prince with a gauze swab made by himself, he gently closed the mouth of the eldest prince, stood up and said, "Your Highness must It is epidemic mumps, not purulent mumps. It is caused by a virus infection and is contagious to a certain extent. It can be transmitted through contact, droplets and saliva. Your Majesty, you need someone to check it in the palace. See if there are any other people with swollen cheeks and fever. If there are any, they need to be isolated immediately."

Zhang Xian went out immediately.

Zhuo Ji continued: "I will prescribe the prescription first, which requires both internal and external use. From now on, His Highness's room must be kept clean and ventilated, and as few people as possible enter. At the same time, the clothes worn by His Highness, used Things must be strictly sterilized."

There was hope in Jia Guixie's eyes, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Shun, you won't die, will you?"

Zhuo Ji said affirmatively: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Your Majesty's condition is not serious. As long as there are no complications caused by cross-infection, there will be no life-threatening."

Jiagui Xie almost didn't come up in one breath, and then burst into tears.Xiaohui took out paper, pen and ink from the medicine box she brought.Zhuo Ji quickly wrote a prescription and handed it to Jiaguixie: "This prescription is taken internally. I will prepare the medicine for external use in Xiangfu Palace." Jiaguixie handed the prescription to Chang'an, asking him to get it quickly Medicine boil medicine.The imperial physicians present wanted to see the prescription, but they didn't have a chance.

Zhuo Ji wrote two more prescriptions and handed them to Bai Shitong, saying: "The first prescription is a prescription for treating 'epidemic mumps'. The second is a decoction prescription for preventing mumps. This prescription cannot be guaranteed 100% It will not be infected, but it can reduce the chance of being infected."

Bai Shitong took the two prescriptions almost holding his breath.Zhuo Ji said seriously: "The mumps that you often talk about is actually suppurative mumps, which is different from epidemic mumps." Zhuo Ji briefly explained the differences and symptoms of the two to the three imperial physicians on the spot. characteristics, and then said: "If you find purulent mumps, Doctor Bai ordered you to come to me again."

"Yes, please."

Emperor Yong'an: "You should do it quickly. Check carefully whether there is any infection in the capital."

"Yes!"

Bo Shitong left with two imperial physicians.Zhuo Ji: "I'll go back and dispense the medicine. Your Highness, Your Highness's room needs to be disinfected like this."

After learning that the eldest son of the emperor had abscess, Dezhen was so frightened that he hurried to see if his son was there.The second prince, Murong Chenzhu, slept soundly on the bed, while Dezhen's heart was pounding with fright.Since his son was fine, Dezhen planned to go to Huayang Palace to see His Highness, but was told that His Highness had contagious mumps, and no one was allowed to enter or leave Huayang Palace at will.The queen mother who had already gone to bed couldn't sleep after learning about this incident, so she sent someone to wait for the news outside Huayang Palace.

This night, apart from those from Huayang Palace, those from Xiangfu Palace were the busiest.Wang Bao took the medicine list written by his master to the imperial medical office to pick up the medicine, and also left the medicine list at the imperial medical office.After returning from Huayang Palace, Zhuo Ji went straight into the pharmacy.Emperor Yong'an has been in Huayang Palace all the time, and he can only leave after drinking the preventive decoction and changing his clothes.

At dawn, Zhuo Jicai came out of the pharmacy smelling like medicine.When he came out, he drank a few sips of water and rushed to Huayang Palace.Emperor Yong'an, who drank the preventive decoction, had already returned to Fengtian Hall.He is worried about the eldest son of the emperor, but he is also an emperor, and everything can only be put behind the state affairs.

Jiagui Xie stayed up all night, so she sat outside her son's bedroom.As soon as Zhuo Ji appeared, he stood up.Zhuo Ji nodded to Jia Guixie, and led Chang Jing into the room of the eldest son of the emperor.The eldest son of the emperor's cheeks were swollen like steamed buns, and his face was flushed red.Zhuo Ji asked the maid to take off the emperor's eldest son's pants, and used a cotton swab to get some milky yellow ointment from a porcelain bowl on the tray Chang Jing was holding, and applied it into the emperor's eldest son's rectum.After washing his hands, he applied another bowl of black and yellow ointment to the eldest son's cheeks, and then covered it with a white gauze cloth to fix it.

After Zhuo Ji finished all this, Jiagui Xie asked in disbelief, "Is this all right? Will the child be healed?"

Zhuo Ji said reassuringly: "Your Highness, your Highness's mumps did not cause any complications, so it is not dangerous. After your Highness recovers this time, you will have immunity to mumps in the future, and you will not get it again."

"Really?" Jiaguixie couldn't control her tears.

"Really. Your Highness won't have to be afraid of cheeks after this time. You must be strong, you are His Highness's mother, and your aura will affect His Highness. If you are strong, Your Highness will be even stronger."

Jia Guixie took a deep breath, wiped away her tears, and nodded vigorously: "Okay, okay, I won't cry, I will watch over Chu'er, and I will watch over him."

"Hehe, go and rest for a while, I will guard here. I am here, don't worry."

Jiaguixie held Zhuo Ji's hand and choked up, "Shunyou, thank you, thank you. This time, thanks to you, thanks to you."

Zhuo Ji patted Jia Guixie's hand: "Don't worry, Your Highness will be fine."

Jiaguixie shook Zhuo Ji's hand firmly, let go, looked at his son for a while, and took Chang'an out.

After applying the medicine, the eldest prince felt better and fell asleep drowsily.Zhuo Ji stood by the bed, watching the child in pain, and realized for the first time what he had neglected for too long.

"Chang Jing."

"The servant is here."

"Go to Dezhengzuo's place and tell him, let His Highness drink more honeysuckle water and mung bean water these days, and don't go to crowded places. You go to the pharmacy to get some masks and give them to His Majesty and the Queen Mother." Send it over with the deity. Tell your majesty that children and adolescents are most susceptible to mumps."

"Yes!"

In Lianyi Palace, as soon as the palace man who delivered the medicine left, Concubine Wen said, "Splash that medicine."

Concubine Wen's eldest court lady You Lan said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, this is the medicine sent by the imperial medical office to prevent mumps, won't you give it to the third princess?"

Concubine Wen snorted coldly: "What imperial medical office, didn't you hear it just now? This is a prescription written by the person in Xiangfu Palace. Who is he? But he is used to flattering people, what kind of medical skills does he know? Pain abscess , that is an incurable disease that can kill people! I have never heard of any medicine that can prevent it in advance! He is a brother from the Zhuo family and has never studied medicine. Could it be possible to cure mumps? This is nothing short of sensationalism! Your Majesty was deceived by him, Mrs. Jiagui went to the doctor indiscriminately for an emergency, I don't believe him. I'm afraid that the princess will get sick after taking this medicine. Throw it away!"

Youlan spilled the medicine.

Concubine Xiao and Concubine Wen are the mothers of the Eldest Princess and the Third Princess respectively.Concubine Wen didn't give it to her daughter, and Concubine Xiao didn't either.As soon as the eunuch who delivered the medicine left, Concubine Xiao poured the medicine over.Qiongpin is the mother of the fourth princess, she gave her daughter a drink after hesitation.It's not that Qiong Concubine believed in Zhuo Ji, but she thought that the medicine would not be poisonous, and she was afraid of offending His Majesty, so she dared not refuse.Jinyou is the mother and father of the second princess. Because of the orders of the queen mother and noble concubine, Jinyou took the medicine and fed it to her daughter.

Epidemic mumps are easily contagious, although adults are less likely to be infected, Zhuo Ji still refused to let Emperor Yong'an go to Huayang Palace, and the Empress Dowager did not allow the emperor to go either.After dealing with the state affairs in the morning, Emperor Yong'an asked Feng Xi to go to Huayang Palace to inquire about the news.Feng Xi came back and said that His Royal Highness was still burning, but he had been sleeping after applying the medicine, and Zhuo Ji had been guarding Huayang Palace, Emperor Yong'an was a little relieved.

Emperor Yong'an ordered the Imperial Medical Office to pay close attention to whether there was any sign of a mumps outbreak in the capital.The eldest prince Nan Rongchen was studying in the Winter Night Palace, and the children of the royal family members also had to study in the Winter Night Palace. Emperor Yong'an asked the Imperial Medical Office to distribute the preventive decoction to the clans.Nan Rongchen was infected, and it is very likely that other children will also be infected.

For eight consecutive days, Zhuo Ji lived in Huayang Palace.The eldest prince's condition has obviously started to improve, the high fever has subsided, but his cheeks are still a little swollen.In the first day or two, the First Prince not only had a high fever, but also had chills all over his body, accompanied by severe vomiting.Jia Guixie was so frightened that she didn't dare close her eyes.Now the fever subsided, no more vomiting, no pus came out of the red and swollen cheeks, and the redness and swelling of both cheeks was much less than the first day or two. Jiaguixie had almost seen the day when her son recovered.

There was no second case of mumps in the palace, and many palace people felt that Zhuo Ji was making a fuss.Especially Concubine Wen and Concubine Yao often ridiculed Zhuo Ji behind his back.The decoction sent to the East Eighth Palace by the Imperial Medical Office every day was only eaten by Qiongfei for her daughter and the palace people, and everyone else poured it out.The eldest princess and the third princess didn't drink at all.Concubine Xi Gui did not explicitly ask the concubines not to drink the medicine prepared by Zhuo Ji, but she spilled the medicine, even if some palace officials wanted to drink it, they would not dare to drink it.Concubine Xiao and Concubine Wen knew that the imperial concubine and empress would not drink, so they had the confidence not to drink.

The concubines of the East Eighth Palace thought that the Eldest Prince's condition had improved, but in fact it was because the Eldest Prince's condition was not serious at all.People who suffer from mumps are not absolutely certain to die, there are always one or two who survive.There were even rumors that the improvement of the eldest prince's condition was due to the Imperial Medical Office, and His Majesty the Emperor said that it was Zhuo Ji's contribution in order to elevate Zhuo Ji's status.

Even many royal family members didn't think that Zhuo Jizhen's medical skills were amazing, and it must be the credit of the Imperial Medical Office. They also felt that the measures to prevent infection ordered by the emperor were a big deal, and they didn't take the contagion of mumps seriously.Different from these people, Dezhen and Jiaguixie not only took care of their sons strictly according to Zhuo Ji's requirements, but also wrote to their respective mothers, asking their mothers to disinfect and prevent the whole mansion according to Zhuo Ji's requirements. Everyone in Tangyao Mansion must also drink it.

Jia Guixie walked into his son's ward, followed by a nurse carrying a tray.Mouth is easy to infect young people, so Jia Guixie replaced all the people who entered his son's room with elderly nuns and eunuchs.It's just that Zhuo Ji is only 17 years old, and Jia Guixie is very afraid that he will be infected.Zhuo Ji drank preventive decoction every day, and he knew his physical condition very well, so he didn't shy away from it.

As soon as Jia Guixie came in, Nan Rongchen, who was lying on the bed with a piece of gauze on each cheek, called out, "Mother and father."

Jia Guixie walked quickly to the bed and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Nan Rongchen nodded, now he can only drink porridge and eat light food every day.The entire Huayang Palace and people who have been in contact with the eldest prince are not allowed to go out at will. They can only go out if they have not been infected for 21 days.Zhuo Ji is currently in the isolation stage.

Zhuo Ji said: "According to the recovery situation of His Royal Highness, he can recover in three or four days. His physical fitness is good, and he will not be afraid of gills in the future."

Jia Guixie's eyes were flushed with joy, and she thanked again: "Shun, this time I'm thankful for having you. If there's something wrong with me..."

"忍俍," interrupting Jia Guixie's sad words, Zhuo Ji said: "His Royal Highness has a strong physique, and he should also pay attention to exercise. This time he was infected with mumps and did not cause complications. If complications occur, it is me There is nothing you can do about it. You have taken good care of His Highness. As long as you continue to strengthen your physical exercise and ensure a balanced diet, His Highness will not get sick so easily."

In the past few days, Jiagui has been discussing with Zhuo Ji how to educate her children.When Zhuo Ji said this, Jiaguixie nodded heavily: "I will listen to you. When my son recovers from his illness, let him exercise more and let him eat what he needs to eat."

The eldest prince slowly opened his mouth: "Mother and father, the child has recovered from his illness, he will listen to his words, exercise his body, and not be picky about food."

Jiaguixie nodded with red eye circles: "Okay."

Zhuo Ji asked: "Cui, are all the people who have been in contact with His Highness quarantined and observed?"

Jiaguixie suddenly became angry: "Your Majesty has suspended the classes in the Winter Night Hall, and many clan relatives don't take it seriously. Those who have been in contact with Wu'er, the palace people are lucky to say that the clan clan has a lot of obedience to His Majesty's will." , Few obeyed orders. Even the decoction sent by the Imperial Medical Office, many people secretly poured it, and they didn't take it seriously at all. It is only clear at a glance whether there is 'mump pustule', how to prevent it, and there is no isolation necessary."

Zhuo Ji thought of this situation. Ancient people did not have the concept of "virus incubation period".They think that if you have an infection, you will definitely manifest it.

Zhuo Ji said: "If they don't listen, we can't do anything. None of the people who have been in contact with His Highness have symptoms, so those who infect His Highness must be carriers of mumps virus. The incubation period of mumps is eight to 30 days. We can only do what we can do. Fortunately, His Majesty will not be infected again after recovering from illness, and we must pay attention to people under the age of 20 around us. After 21 days, no one around us will show symptoms of mumps, then it will be considered safe. .If no one in the harem gets sick for 30 days, it will be completely safe."

Jia Guixie nodded: "The servants here will instruct them to pay close attention. The Empress Dowager has also issued an order, and all concubines and servants must not take it lightly."

Zhuo Ji: "It's always right to take precautions before they happen."
