Chapter 95 High fever persists
Li Zhang followed Zhao Zhen to the Taoist temple where Miaoyuan lived. At this time, Li Zhang saw that the name of the Taoist temple was Miaoyuan Temple. At this time, people came and went, and the white-bearded imperial doctors were even more solemn, but the eunuchs and palace maids looked panicked.
"What did you two bastards do? Why did Miaoyuan suddenly faint!" As soon as Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen entered the main hall of the Taoist temple, they cursed angrily. When they looked up, they happened to see Liu E's angry eyes.
"Empress, I...I..." Zhao Zhen usually looked at a smart person, but when he met Liu E, he looked like a mouse and a cat. At this time, he was hesitant and speechless.
"Grandmaster, I drank some wine last night, so I disturbed the princess' rest!" Li Zhang immediately confessed his guilt and said that he would never shirk his responsibility, let alone Liu E obviously knew that they had been here, so it would be useless to deny it at this time.
"Drinking? Who asked you to drink?" Liu E was furious when she heard this. After all, Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen were both children. If she started drinking at such a young age, wouldn't she become an alcoholic in the future?
"This... is... the father forced us to do it!" Zhao Zhen finally plucked up the courage to whisper.
Liu E was stunned when she heard her son's words. Then she thought of Zhao Heng's confused appearance, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly. In fact, she didn't want Zhao Heng to participate alone last night, but she was not convenient for women to come forward, and there were too many government affairs to deal with last night, so she had no time to take care of Zhao Heng and the others, but she didn't expect that the momentary negligence would lead to so many things.
"Empress, how is the little princess?" Li Zhang asked again at this time. He had just seen the imperial doctors coming in and out with serious expressions. It seemed that Miaoyuan's condition was very serious, which made him quite worried.
"Miaoyuan's eight characters are too light. For the time being, you can't call her princess. Just call her Taoist name directly." Liu E showed a little tired expression at this time, and then spoke again, "According to the palace maids around Miaoyuan, just after you two left, she suddenly fainted on the ground, and then immediately asked the imperial doctor to come for treatment. But now, Miaoyuan not only did not wake up, but still had a high fever and was in a very bad condition!"
"How could this happen? But Miaoyuan was still talking to us when we left?" Zhao Zhen was anxious and tears were circling in his eyes when he heard this. He was just such a sister. Before he met Li Zhang, thanks to his sister accompanying him, he was not too lonely in the palace.
Seeing his son's grief, Liu E couldn't bear to blame him anymore, and Li Zhang also frowned. There are many reasons for the fever. Although he knew some ways to lower his body temperature, this can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. If the real cause cannot be found, lowering the patient's body temperature without authorization is actually not a good thing. Moreover, even if the cause is found, he has no available medicine in his hand, unless...
Time passed by minute by minute, and the imperial doctors inside were also doing their best to treat it, but until noon, these imperial doctors could not let Miaoyuan's high fever go away. As for the cause, I found several. Some people said Miaoyuan was a high fever caused by wind and cold entering the body, and some people said that she was congenital weak, and her body temperature increased due to external yang and internal yin...
Li Zhang didn't know much about traditional Chinese medicine. Listening to these imperial doctors to debate the causes of the disease was like listening to the heavenly book, but he also realized that these imperial doctors could not determine the cause of Miaoyuan's high fever, and could not find the cause. They could only prescribe medications on the surface symptoms, but these medicines were limited, even if the body temperature dropped a little, they would rise again soon.
Faced with these noisy imperial doctors, Liu E was so angry that she scolded the trash. Now the imperial doctors did not dare to argue anymore, but they could not come up with a unified plan.
At this time, Li Zhang quietly pulled the corner of Zhao Zhen's clothes, who was wiping tears, and then gave him a wink. So the two of them quietly came to the corner of the wall. Then Zhao Zhen asked in a low voice with red eyes, "What are you doing?"
"Take me to see Miaoyuan, maybe I can save her." Li Zhang whispered at this time.
"Really?" Zhao Zhen showed a skeptical look when he heard Li Zhang's words. After all, he never knew that Li Zhang still knew medical skills.
"It's now. Do you think I'm joking?" Li Zhang said very seriously at this time. He didn't know if he could see Miaoyuan's condition, but the imperial doctors are quarreling and cannot come to a conclusion at all. Since that's the case, it's better for him to give it a try. If it's not a special condition, the causes of high fever in children are nothing more than the very common types.
Zhao Zhen had long cultivated trust in Li Zhang. After all, as long as Li Zhang agreed to this period, there was nothing he could not do. So after he hesitating for a while, he finally nodded heavily and said, "Okay, cousin, come with me!"
Zhao Zhen led Li Zhang from a small door behind the hall to the backyard of the Taoist temple. This was a very quiet yard, and there was an exquisite small building in the yard. Zhao Zhen and Li Zhang went upstairs one after another. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a noble lady sitting by the bed crying. Needless to ask, she should be Miaoyuan's biological mother, Concubine Du.
"Concubine Du, how is Miaoyuan?" Zhao Zhen immediately stepped forward and said, but his eyes were still staring at his sister on the bed, and tears suddenly burst out.
At this time, Li Zhang finally saw Miao Yuan on the hospital bed. Although he had met the other person last night, because he was so drunk, he only remembered that Miao Yuan and Li Er were about the same age, but as for his appearance, he couldn't remember it clearly.
Miao Yuan's face is now red, but not that kind of healthy red, but a sick flush. Her facial features are very delicate, which is quite similar to the concubine Du next to her. However, she is breathing short and fast, and even her hands and feet are slightly trembling. This is obviously caused by a high fever. Li Zhang even suspected that Miao Yuan fainted before, and that it was caused by a high fever?
"Crown Prince, why are you here? Miaoyuan has been unconscious. He just received the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, but the fever cannot go away!" Concubine Du said while wiping her tears. Although she knew that her daughter's illness was related to Zhao Zhen, she also knew that the brother and sister had always had a deep relationship. Zhao Zhen must have done it either, so she did not blame him.
"Cough cough cough~" At this moment, Miao Yuan on the hospital bed suddenly coughed lightly again. Although it was not very violent, Miao Yuan's body curled up into a ball, and his little face also showed a painful expression, but he had not woken up.
"What's the smell in the room?" Li Zhang suddenly twitched his nose a few times at this time, because he found that in addition to the smell of medicine, there was also a strange fragrance in the room. This fragrance was not the body fragrance of a girl, nor the powder fragrance of Du Guifei. In fact, Li Zhang smelled it as soon as he came in.
Concubine Du looked at Li Zhang strangely. She stayed in the palace all year round and was not very informative. Naturally, she didn't know Li Zhang's identity. Zhao Zhen also looked up and sniffed it a few times, then pointed to an incense burner in the middle of the room and said, "It should be the incense burner in the incense burner."
The so-called incense, also known as incense, is actually the fragrance emitted by some special spices when they are burned. I don’t know what dynasty, aristocrats, especially scholars, like incense, and incense is even more common in the palace. Even the clothes worn by nobles must be smoked with incense. Miaoyuan is also a Taoist priest, so using incense is simply common.
"Nostalgic!" Li Zhang immediately strode over, picked up the incense burner and threw it out the window. Although he did not know the cause of Miaoyuan, she had symptoms of coughing, which means that there must be problems with the other party's respiratory tract. The fragrance in the incense burner is produced by burning the incense burner. The stronger the smell, the greater the stimulation to the respiratory tract.
"Ah! You..."
Concubine Du was startled by Li Zhang's rude movements. She was about to ask someone to stop him, but Zhao Zhen explained: "Concubine Du, don't panic, this is my cousin Li Zhang. He knows some medical skills, so I want to see if he can treat his sister!"
"Cousin? Are you the relative the queen just recognized?" When Concubine Du heard Zhao Zhen's words, she remembered some rumors in the palace. She also looked at Li Zhang in surprise and said.
"Not bad, but now is not the time to say this. Can the imperial concubine allow me to touch Miaoyuan's forehead? I want to see if she is so hot?" Li Zhang came to Concubine Du and asked. He originally wanted to estimate Miaoyuan's body temperature, but he was afraid that the other party would not understand, so he could only try to explain in words she could understand.
"This..." Concubine Du was still hesitant when she heard this. After all, Li Zhang was just a child, and she really didn't believe that the other party knew any medical skills.
"Concubine Du, the imperial doctor outside has a quarrel, but there is no reliable statement. Why don't you let your cousin give it a try!" Zhao Zhen also pleaded for Li Zhang at this time. He is now confused. Although he rationally thinks that Li Zhang cannot be more intelligent than the imperial doctor, as long as there is a glimmer of hope in his relationship, he will never give up.
Concubine Du was also a little moved when she heard Zhao Zhen's words. Moreover, Li Zhang was also a child, so she had no defenses between men and women. It was nothing to touch her daughter's forehead, so she finally nodded and said, "Okay!"
Seeing the other party agreeing, Li Zhang immediately showed joy. He immediately reached forward and touched Miaoyuan's forehead. He found that her forehead was so hot. Although he did not have a thermometer, based on his experience, it was estimated that Miaoyuan's body temperature should be at least 38 degrees or even more than 39 degrees.
"What are you doing!" At this moment, suddenly a angrily scolding came, and then Liu E walked in with a few palace maids, and her eyes were full of anger when she looked at Li Zhang.
"Stop the anger of the aunt, my cousin just kindly wants to help my sister see a doctor!" Seeing Liu E come in, Zhao Zhen immediately explained for Li Zhang.
"Sister, I..."
