The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 419 High Fever Fainting
The imperial physicians arrived quickly. They were two imperial physicians on duty at the Imperial Medical Bureau.

It's still early for Wang Yuyi. Who knows where he is on the road? Maybe the eunuch who announced the decree hasn't even arrived at Wang Yuyi's residence yet. Li Dequan has foresight!
First, he had to pay a visit to the emperor, who would make the decision. He would examine Qin Rou's condition, ask her questions, and get a rough idea of ​​her condition. Then he would prescribe medicine, pick the herbs, and boil them.

It was already daybreak, and I helped him drink the medicine. The royal physician Wang Xufa had not arrived yet.

In the cold winter, morning and evening visits are inevitable. Aunt Chen saw that today, not to mention the morning and evening visits, the concubine could not get up and could not go. Aunt Chen found time to ask Fushun to ask for leave.

Although the Empress and all the concubines in the palace knew that the concubine was ill and could not go to pay respects, they knew it in their hearts, and the rules on the surface could not be ignored, and they still had to send a servant to formally ask for leave. Now that the concubine could not make the decision, Aunt Chen had to guard Zhenshunzhai well and not give people a handle to criticize her, otherwise she would be considered incompetent.

The Queen also knew that Concubine Nara was ill. Out of duty, she asked a few more questions, such as how was Concubine Nara, how was her condition, and whether her fever had subsided.
Fushun replied: I took the medicine and fell asleep, but the fever is still there, it's coming on strong! Let's see if the fever can go down in a while.

The queen could only say, "Tell her to take care of herself first. Her health is the most important thing. You should come to visit her every morning and evening. Don't rush. Come back when she is better."

When the queen said this, it was just a polite remark, but she didn't expect that her words would come true. Fu Shun returned to Zhen Shun Zhai, and Qin Rou's fever still didn't subside. Imperial Physician Wang received the imperial edict and hurried over from outside the palace.

In Zhenshunzhai, the fever on Qinrou's head had just subsided a little, but after a while, it quickly rose again and became high fever again.

Her fair face was flushed, and her brows were furrowed even when she was asleep. Even when she was asleep, she seemed to be restless. Even when she was asleep, Qin Rou felt her head and body were heavy, as if a jack was pressing on her body. She knew clearly that she was sick and uncomfortable!
But what if she was sick for a while! Just let it go! She was too lazy to wake up, and her head felt heavy and the pain was getting worse. For her, it was only a short while, and her head felt heavier, her whole body felt heavier, and she felt more uncomfortable. She couldn't tell where she felt uncomfortable, as if her body had lost its normal instincts and she felt uncomfortable!

Aunt Chen and Xiaoman carefully served the concubine, changing the handkerchief for her and placing it on her forehead to reduce her fever. Aunt Chen was careful and observed carefully. When she saw that something was wrong with her face, she did not rush to put the handkerchief away and reached out to touch the concubine's forehead.

Startled, he quickly turned around and called the two imperial doctors, saying in panic, "Two imperial doctors, come and take a look, the high fever on the concubine's forehead has become even worse!"

The medical skills of the imperial physicians are guaranteed. Generally speaking, if there is no one playing tricks, the prescriptions they prescribe are effective; if the prescription is ineffective, it means that the condition is more complicated.

The Emperor is sitting here, and soon the Imperial Physician Wang will come over to take the concubine's pulse. How many imperial physicians would dare to tamper with the prescriptions or medicinal materials?

You are really not afraid of death! Aren't you afraid of implicate your whole family or clan?

Kangxi suddenly stood up and strode to the bed. Even the two imperial doctors beside him were a step behind. Aunt Chen was anxious and shocked, and quickly gave up her seat to the emperor. Kangxi had no time to care about anything else. He put his big hand on it, and it was really burning hot, like a burning hot water bottle. He was afraid that the person would burn.

High fever! Convulsions! This scene brought back bad memories for Kangxi. For a moment, the emperor was a little flustered. He didn't know whether he was thinking of Chengrui who had gone because of the common symptoms, or something else.

"Wang Xufa hasn't arrived yet? Send someone to hurry him up." Kangxi first thought of the chief of the four imperial doctors. The imperial doctor was incompetent, so Kangxi simply didn't trust him. But Wang, the imperial doctor who Kangxi trusted, didn't arrive again. Kangxi frowned and spoke with a bit of irritation. "Huh." Li Dequan was also shocked! Hurry up. Send someone to urge him quickly, otherwise the emperor will be furious and no one can afford to offend him. As for reasoning with the emperor... Don't reason with the emperor, especially don't reason with the emperor who is furious and irritable. Living with the emperor is like living with a tiger. There is no reason to talk to the emperor.

The emperor has given the order, so we have to do it no matter how hard we try!
The two doctors rushed forward after hearing this. But they were not as fast as the emperor. Now, seeing the emperor like this, they couldn't help but feel anxious. They didn't dare to disturb him, but they had to disturb him. It was their duty to treat illnesses and save lives, especially the concubines in the harem! Especially the concubines favored by the emperor.

Otherwise, if they were to investigate further, it would be their fault for not being competent enough and not having medical ethics. The imperial physician hurriedly reminded: "Your Majesty, can you please call the concubine to see if she has a high fever and fainted?"

If you faint due to high fever, it will be more serious than an ordinary high fever.

Kangxi was panicking! He was also anxious. If the imperial physician didn't mention it, he would start calling for help. When he did, he was even more anxious: "Rou'er, Rou'er, Rou'er..." He called several times, but the person who was supposed to answer him was still sleeping on the bed!

Like a burning, sleeping stove. She was obsessed, unable to respond to the world! Not good! Kangxi's heart sank, and he became even more anxious, "Qinrou, Qinrou!...Hada Nara. Qinrou!"

His voice was getting louder and louder, but no one answered him! Qin Rou couldn't answer him either. So sleepy! So uncomfortable! People are like caged birds, trapped in a cage, unable to wake up!
The imperial physician saw that it was not good and was afraid that the patient had fainted due to high fever. He quickly ordered: "Go get some alcohol; prepare some silver needles for the concubine to be acupunctured; prepare some paper and pen to write another prescription."

After a series of instructions, the two imperial doctors simply didn't dare to continue prescribing medicine. The prescriptions were all decided by them after careful consideration. Now, this prescription is the most suitable for the concubine's physique and symptoms. The medicine has been boiled and drunk, but it doesn't work?

It can't be said that it didn't work, at least it subsided for a moment, but it burned back to the original state in a moment. But they couldn't do anything, they had to do it anyway! Even if it was a last resort? Only by doing it would there be a chance to win, not doing it would be dereliction of duty and incompetence.

They didn't dare to look at the emperor's face, nor did they dare to think about what would happen. It just so happened that the backbone of the emperor, Wang Yuyi, came. Wang Yuyi also came in an emergency. Kangxi originally sent someone to announce the decree, but he only arrived at the gate of Chengqian Palace? Another young eunuch went to urge him. As an old man, Wang Yuyi didn't care when the emperor issued two decrees in a row.

"Long live the emperor, and be well with the concubine!" The old doctor Wang was also supported and dragged by the young eunuchs. He ran for a long distance, panting heavily. In front of the emperor, he had to pay attention to his appearance. It was difficult for him! There was no way!
"Check on her quickly!" Kangxi was feeling anxious when the imperial physician Wang came as expected. He had no mood to care about anything else and just urged her and gave strict orders.

Wang Yuyi quickly stood up, and the two young eunuchs who were serving him hurriedly helped him up. The emperor was angry, and blood flowed everywhere. The imperial doctors at least had a skill to protect themselves, but slaves like them could be beaten to death.

The two doctors breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Yuyi was a skilled doctor. With him, the doctors had a backbone. They could not compete for credit. It was good that they did not cause trouble. As expected, not everyone could be the emperor's confidant.

The imperial physician said hurriedly, "The concubine is now suffering from a high fever and fainting. The main reason is that the high fever is difficult to reduce, which causes fainting. Asking the servants to fetch wine is not enough. The two of us have determined that silver needles are needed to help reduce the heat. In addition, the prescription also needs to be changed. The concubine just took the medicine and the fever subsided a little, but it didn't take long for the high fever to come back. Here is the prescription, please review it, Lord Yuanzheng."

What’s going on? Please explain clearly. If there is a problem, it is not something that only one person should bear.
