Section 097 Fever Reduction
In the main hall of Taiyuan Hospital, Qin Wei and the other four people were sitting upright, holding teacups and drinking tea.
Today's tea felt very fragrant to him, and it was sweet and mellow. The warm tea fragrance flowed through his limbs, and the meridians in every part of his body were unblocked.
After today, the Queen Mother and the Emperor should know that all the great officials in this world have their own merits.
Just because Miss Gu was able to cure the Queen Mother's cough does not mean that she can cure all diseases.
There were many imperial doctors sitting below. Seeing that Master Ti Dian was in a good mood, they were also relaxed and chatting and joking with each other.
Qin Weisi always smiled.
"...Can wormwood reduce fever?" He suddenly asked the person below.
He remembered that Gu Jinzhi had just talked about mugwort and asked the imperial doctor to boil mugwort water.
The following people are not from the children's school. There are many pharmacological properties of mugwort. If you want to recite them, they can memorize them.
In terms of specific application, prescription is rarely used.
It is unheard of to use it to reduce fever.
"In the medicinal books of the past, there has never been any record of mugwort reducing fever. Mugwort, Dragon Boat Festival and cattail grass are inserted into the door to repel insects and avoid disasters; or for children to be washed for three days. Others are not very clear..." Doctor Liu replied.
Qin Weisi feels the same way.
He was just afraid that he had made some mistake, so he asked.
After receiving the same answer, his mind became calmer.
High fevers are always dangerous.
It's even more dangerous when it's burned like that.
Qin Weisi knew a folk prescription: burn a knife at a high temperature, wipe the body with water, and sweat to dredge the meridians to reduce the fever.
This prescription is recorded in an isolated medical classic, and few people know about it.
These people at Tai Hospital must not know.
Qin Weisi's wife once had a high fever due to wind and cold. He tried this method and the effect was quite good.
At that time, he was also afraid that this method would not work.
But later, after using all the medicine, his wife still had a high fever and was about to burn out. Only then did Qin Weisi decide to give it a try.
Finally, it worked.
So he felt very calm.
He is confident.
The atmosphere in the main hall became relaxed again.
Then, several more imperial doctors came in, asking each other what was going on.
Doctor Liu told the story of Miss Gu's treatment of King Yu.
Those imperial doctors were very surprised for some reason. They didn't understand Qin Tidian's plan.
So instead, sit down and watch the excitement.
"...Is this Miss Gu who cured the Queen Mother?" someone asked, with a look of admiration on her face.
The Queen Mother's illness has been seen by every doctor in the Imperial Hospital. No one can solve it.
After being cured, they naturally wanted to know the cause and exchange ideas.
Not everyone wants to be as petite as Qin Weisi.
"That's her, right? I heard she's Gu Tidian's granddaughter." Someone whispered, "It's a rare thing for a girl's family to study medicine, and she has mastered it at such a young age. She is a prodigy from heaven..."
"...Famous teachers make great disciples." Someone lowered his voice.
These words floated into Qin Weisi's ears from time to time.
When he listened, it was like needles pricking his heart!
Ever since he succeeded Gu Shifei and became the supervisor of the Imperial Hospital, he has heard many times that his medical skills are far inferior to Gu Shifei's.
This has planted thorns in Qin Weisi's heart, which cannot be pulled out and the pain is incomprehensible.
Qin Weisi naturally didn't want to show his displeasure in front of his seniors. Instead, he tried his best to exaggerate Gu Shifei's superb medical skills, but he didn't know how many times he scolded him behind his back.
Now that he heard such a voice again, he couldn't express his jealousy, so he just coughed heavily.
The small murmur disappeared.
Aren't these imperial doctors just looking at people's orders?
If Gu Jinzhi hadn't liked the Queen Mother now, how could they dare to speak for her like this?
Qin Weisi snorted coldly in his heart: These guys are following the trend of others!
After a while, Dr. Liu went out to check on the situation.
Then he came back and said to everyone: "Miss Gu asked me to boil thick mugwort water to wipe King Yu's body."
This method is similar to Qin Weisi's method, but the things are different...
"I sent Dr. Zeng to get medicine again and said that I would make Angong Niuhuang Pills." Dr. Liu continued.
The dozen or so doctors who filled the hall immediately started talking about it.
"What is Angong Niuhuang Pill?" someone asked.
"I don't know, I've never heard of it."
"Mr. Zhen, your pharmacy owner, have you ever bought this medicine?"
"There are many bezoar medicines, but I have never heard of Angong Niuhuang Pills. What is the effect of the medicine?"
"Bezoar, it clears away heat and calms convulsions... Alas, this overstates the efficacy of Purple Snow Pill. Is it used to reduce fever? Since you use bezoar pills to reduce fever, why do you need to boil mugwort water?"
"The efficacy of Purple Snow Pill in reducing fever is far superior to that of Niuhuang Pill. Two imperial doctors, Peng and Zeng, have already used Purple Snow Pill for King Yu. Could it be that Angong Niuhuang Pill has miraculous effects?"
Everyone was talking a lot and every word was heard.
The role of bezoar can indeed clear away heat, but the effect is minimal.
I don’t know the origin of the Angong Niuhuang Pill that Miss Gu mentioned.
Qin Weisi felt a little uneasy as he listened, and his calmness and confidence were somewhat shaken.
Although he couldn't be sure of anything, he had a premonition that Gu Jinzhi was heading in the right direction. Qin Wei's four medical ethics and character were questionable, but his medical skills were remarkable, and his knowledge was different from other imperial doctors.
His vision is always far-reaching.
After everyone talked for a long time, Doctor Liu went to the side room to investigate the situation.
When he came back, he told everyone: "Miss Gu and Dr. Xiao Qin were locked up at the medicine stove in the east to make medicine, which was probably Zhi'an Palace Niuhuang Pills. Dr. Peng and Dr. Zeng wiped King Yu's body. The mugwort water was like ink, and King Yu's body was wet.
Everything is completely black. However, the fever has not been relieved at all, and the two imperial doctors are also worried..."
Xiao Qin Imperial Physician is the old name given to Qin Shensi by the imperial hospital.
The brothers Qin Wei Si and Qin Shen Si are both Qin's imperial physicians and must be called separately.
Everyone was whispering to each other.
They thought about the efficacy of mugwort for a long time, but it turned out to be useless.
There was a faint smile on Qin Wei's lips.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that he overestimated the child. The Queen Mother's illness made Qin Weisi somewhat curious about Gu Jinzhi, so he thought more highly of her.
Nearly half an hour has passed, and the high fever has not gone down yet. I don't know what Gu Jinzhi will do next.
Qin Weisi made up his mind and waited for another two hours before taking action.
The longer he delays, the higher the value of his move will be.
Just like the Queen Mother's illness. If Gu Jinzhi had cured her illness from the beginning, would she have been so favored in the palace? It was just that the longer it took, the more outstanding her abilities would become.
To put it bluntly, the imperial doctors from Mantai Hospital and several famous private doctors became Gu Jinzhi's stepping stones.
Now, Qin Weisi will use her as a stepping stone to regain the lost face.
He was neither too hasty nor too slow. He slowly poured another cup of tea and drank it.
Doctor Liu was responsible for asking for information and telling him when he came back.
The people in the hospital wanted to know more and more how it would end. They were all looking forward to it.
Doctor Liu had a cup of tea and went to the west wing again.
This time, he waited for two quarters of an hour before coming back.
"... Doctor Xiao Qin has prepared the pills and has served King Yu to take them." Doctor Liu said, "Miss Gu said that the high fever will slowly subside within half an hour. She also asked to continue to boil mugwort water."
well?
Only after taking Angong Niuhuang Pill can I say that it can reduce fever. So, the effect of Angong Niuhuang Pill is similar to that of Purple Snow Pill?
Why not just use Purple Snow Pill instead of the unknown Angong Niuhuang Pill?
Although Purple Snow Pill has been used and it has no effect, you can still take a few more pills!
What role does mugwort play?
Since mugwort cannot reduce fever, but it is used repeatedly to wipe the body, what is the purpose?
Everyone broke their heads and couldn't figure it out.
"Mr. Meng is good at treating childhood diseases." Someone suggested, "He should know the efficacy of mugwort better than us. Why not invite him to ask."
Everyone seconded the proposal.
Qin Wei thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
He agreed.
Someone went to ask Dr. Meng.
Imperial Physician Meng went to see a doctor at a certain uncle's house today. As soon as he returned to the Imperial Hospital, he was invited to the lobby. He was shocked.
Seeing Master Tidian sitting upright in a room full of people, he felt even more guilty.
Last time, he took two precious medicines from the palace and bribed the accounting clerk to sneak in, fearing that he would be found out.
At this moment, he concluded that something had happened and his feet became weak.
Then, he heard people asking him about the efficacy of mugwort.
Dr. Meng was slightly surprised, but told him what he knew: "For internal use, it can expel cold, warm menstruation, stop bleeding, and is used for women's diseases; for external use, it can be used as a three-in-one bath for children..."
It's in the medicine book and everyone knows it.
"If the high fever persists, what effect will it have if you wipe your body vigorously?" People asked.
Doctor Meng was stunned.
"It doesn't work!" he said, "What's wrong with you guys? Are you asking such tricky and weird questions now?" He already knew that it was not him who secretly exchanged precious medicinal materials in the palace, so he felt relieved.
Someone explained what happened to Gu Jinzhi.
Dr. Meng was stunned after hearing this. He sat down and waited for the results together.
Qin Weisi's heart became more and more excited: Come on, come on, Gu Jinzhi is about to make a big joke! In front of everyone in the Imperial Hospital, she lost her hand, Qin Weisi saved King Yu again, and his
Medical skills can reach a new level.
It's very exciting to think about it.
Everyone in Tai Hospital is getting more and more anxious, waiting to see what happens.
Doctor Liu went to King Yu's chamber and never came back.
It is estimated that the situation has changed.
Half an hour.
After an arduous and long wait, Doctor Liu hurried back after half an hour.
Some people couldn't help but stood up and asked anxiously: "What's going on? Are these bezoar pills and mugwort still useless?"
Because they had never heard of the treatment method, everyone was very curious.
This industry has been quiet for a long time. Gu Jinzhi cured the Queen Mother, which was like throwing a huge stone. Now, the ripples in everyone's heart have not subsided, but another huge stone has been thrown.
They are eager to know if this is another bigger breakthrough.
Doctor Liu's face looked a little ugly.
He coughed dryly, not daring to look at Qin Weisi's face, and said: "King Yu has woken up, and most of the fever has gone away!"
Qin Weisi suddenly stood up, and the tea cup in his hand was suddenly moved by his movement and fell to the ground with a clang.
The sound of breaking porcelain, clear and sharp, resounded throughout the lobby of Taiyuan Hospital.
All the sounds disappeared for a moment, and in the silence, the sound of broken porcelain became more and more sharp, deafening.
Everyone's ears seemed to be echoing for a long time: Bang Dang...
Broken!!
Is the tea cup broken, or is something else broken?
