The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 49

[49.Chapter 49 A long-term illness leads to a cure]

Empress Zhang became a doctor. Seeing that her daughter was like this, her face

turned pale, and she immediately said: “Pass it to the imperial doctor, immediately pass it to the imperial physician.” Emperor Hongzhi stamped his feet anxiously, stood up in a hurry, and shouted sternly: “Didn’t you say you are in good health just now? ?”

The eunuchs made the princess lie down on the couch. After a while, the medical officials headed by Zhou Rong left and returned.

When he heard that Her Majesty the Princess had fainted, Zhou Rong was frightened to death. She was trembling with fear. When she entered the palace, she felt Her Majesty’s anxious and angry gaze. He hurriedly stepped forward to examine him. A group of imperial doctors surrounded the phoenix couch. As if a disaster was imminent, Zhou Rong was dumbfounded after looking, hearing, and questioning.

“How is it?” Emperor Hongzhi looked at the princess anxiously and asked sharply.

“This… this… was fine just now, why did it suddenly attack? Old minister… Old minister is dead, come to think of it… come to think of it… maybe His Highness is infected with wind-cold.” In fact, this is indeed very similar to the symptoms of wind-cold. But Zhou Rong’s confidence was a little weak, because the attack was too sudden, and there was no warning in advance. The most important thing is that if he swears again now, if something bad happens again, it is probably not just him, the imperial medical officer, who is in trouble, but also his life. There is no guarantee.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn’t hear the subtext, what was meant by maybe catching wind and cold? Now that his daughter was so sick, how could there be such words as maybe? Emperor Hongzhi was trembling with anxiety.

Queen Zhang’s face looked miserable. Suddenly, she remembered something: “Fang Jifan said two days ago… that the princess should take care of her health. Could it be… could he have seen the symptoms a long time ago? If he could see the symptoms…”

Hongzhi The emperor immediately said: “Pass, tell Fang Jifan to ride a fast horse and let him enter the palace quickly!”

The dormitory was filled with murderous intent.

Zhou Rong and others were so frightened that they were busy pretending to continue the diagnosis. In fact, they were all very skilled doctors, but now they suddenly encountered such an urgent situation. Although they each had their own diagnosis, they didn’t have much certainty after all. He almost lost his head because of his vow, and now if he overstates his words, it would be nothing more than a joke on his own life.

So everyone looked at each other, all looking at each other, undecided.

…

Fang Jifan had just returned from buying land from the Zhang brothers and was relieved. Unexpectedly, he was stopped halfway before returning home. Then someone prepared a fast horse and led him into the palace.

Even after passing the Meridian Gate, no one asked him to dismount and walk, galloping all the way to Kunning Palace.

Halfway through, Fang Jifan understood in his heart that there was an emergency in the palace suddenly, and he was called into the palace, so…it must be related to Her Royal Highness.

How could he dare to neglect when he thought of rescuing people? When he entered the dormitory, he saw many eunuchs and female officials gathered here. They were all busy and busy. Emperor Hongzhi was pacing back and forth in the palace with his hands behind his back, looking very nervous. anxiety.

Fang Jifan stepped forward, but before he started to say hello, Emperor Hongzhi said seriously: “Fang Qing’s family, why did you say that the princess looked bad the day before yesterday?”

Probably hearing the noise, Queen Zhang, who was sitting on the couch with her head in tears, also raised her head. When I looked up, her eyes were filled with tears, and I felt pity for her. Fang Jifan actually didn’t recognize her. The last time I saw her, she was still dignified and graceful; but today, her face was like rain, and she was extremely haggard.

Empress Zhang raised her eyes, looked at Fang Jifan and said, “Since you know that Xiurong’s complexion is not good, and the doctors didn’t see anything unusual, do you know what illness she has?”

Her Royal Highness, she is indeed ill. fall down.

Empress Zhang’s surprise is that you, Fang Jifan, said that Her Highness the Princess’s complexion is wrong and that she should pay attention to her health. Thinking about it, you should know what kind of disease she has, so…it’s you!

Empress Zhang looked at Fang Jifan with hope, but it seemed that Fang Jifan was a little embarrassed. Empress Zhang saw that Fang Jifan was a little overwhelmed, so she thought that Fang Jifan was showing cowardice, and couldn’t help but feel a little despair. Fang Jifan looked so young, and he was still just a child. A child, at such a young age, has probably never even read a medical book. How do you expect him to be able to cure diseases?

In fact, Fang Jifan was not frightened, but was surprised that the details in history were so consistent. He hurriedly said: “I want to see the condition of Her Royal Highness the Princess!”

Without further ado.

Queen Zhang hesitated for a moment and looked at each other with Emperor Hongzhi. They obviously had concerns about Fang Jifan.

It’s just that…

the imperial doctors are helpless at the moment, so they have no choice but to let Fang Jifan give it a try.

When Fang Jifan stepped forward, he saw several imperial doctors whispering in front of the couch. He probably looked at the princess lying on the couch. The princess’s face was red, obviously due to a high fever. Fang Jifan tried to reach out and caress her forehead. , the eunuch on the side suddenly coughed in horror: “Ahem… don’t touch it.”

After saying that, he quickly put a fragrant handkerchief on the princess’s forehead, and then said: “That’s it.”

Fang Jifan’s eyes straightened, To test the body temperature through a scented handkerchief, if I really want to take a pulse, do I have to use a thread as a medium to lead the pulse?

“Touch.” the eunuch urged.

Fang Jifan stopped touching and said, “I can’t touch it. I won’t touch it anymore.”

“You…you…” The eunuch glared at him.

“But…” Fang Jifan clasped his hands behind his back and announced in a high-pitched voice: “I already know what illness the princess is suffering from.”

He will die without saying anything surprising!

In fact, Fang Jifan didn’t need to check her pulse or stroke her forehead to know that the death of Her Royal Highness the Princess was discussed in later academic circles and was believed to have been caused by a relatively special viral cold.

In this era, even among the nobles and nobles, it was common for a cold to be fatal due to unclear understanding of pathology.

Upon hearing that Fang Jifan had found out the cause of the disease, several imperial doctors stopped their discussion and gathered around him.

Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang also stepped forward anxiously and looked at Fang Jifan intently.

Although being stared at by so many people, Fang Jifan was used to being thick-skinned and still maintained his confidence.

Zhou Rong took a deep breath and looked at Fang Jifan, who had no hair on his mouth and was obviously not doing his job well. He couldn’t help but be a little suspicious. It was just that he was helpless. Fang Jifan was obviously even more unreliable. Her Royal Highness’s illness was no joke. We are all in the same boat, and if something goes wrong, everyone has to finish the game, and no one can escape.

The profession of doctor depends on experience, and Fang Jifan is good only if he has experience.

Zhou Rong said: “Since Young Master Fang has concluded, I would like to ask you what kind of disease Her Highness the Princess is suffering from?”

Fang Jifan hesitated in his heart. It can’t be said to be a viral cold, right? I have to think about it, and I have…

“This is a brain disease.”

“Brain disease?” Zhou Rong was confused. No, this doesn’t seem to be a symptom of a brain disease. Can a brain disease cause high fever? You treat me like an idiot. ? He composed himself: “Why did Mr. Fang make such a conclusion? Besides, I see that Mr. Fang didn’t understand his pulse, so I made such a conclusive statement. Isn’t it too arbitrary?”

He raised this question, which made Hongzhi, who just now still had some hope, The emperor was immediately discouraged, and Empress Zhang was even more stunned. She wiped her tears lightly, feeling even more desperate.

Fang Jifan said with confidence: “We, Fang Jifan, have been studying brain diseases for more than ten years and are very familiar with them, so we can tell at a glance where the pulse needs to be checked.”

Zhou Rong and others suddenly blew their beards and stared. Aren’t you ashamed of bragging like this?

Even Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang glared at Fang Jifan. At this time, when everything is urgent, why are you still messing around?

Fortunately, Zhou Rong raised everyone’s doubts: “Young master Fang is only ten years old, but he has been researching for more than ten years. This… is an exaggeration.”

“You know P!” Fang Jifan said confidently: ” Actually, it’s being studied.”

“Being studied?” The old doctor was in a daze and couldn’t understand what Fang Jifan meant.

Fang Jifan seemed to feel that the old imperial doctor was really a little ignorant, so he tried hard to think of a word: “A long-term illness can make a doctor.”
