The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 494 Navel Wind
Que Zhen leaned the ice urn against the princess and entered, took the round fan from Rong Yue's hand and took over for her, and said: "Your Majesty is a good planner, but there is another thing that I don't understand. It stands to reason that Mrs. Liang should be here now The most beautiful woman in the palace, she is born beautiful and has a unique fragrance, why is she not favored by the emperor?"

Rong Yue teased the implication in the couch, and said casually: "A concubine's favor is based on her family background, her appearance, her talent, and the emperor's heart. Lack of beautiful women with good looks?"

"But I didn't see that the imperial concubine has more eyes and eyebrows than others, why does the emperor care about her so much? She..." Que Zhen wanted to continue, but seeing Rong Yue's expression hesitated, she quickly stopped talking.

"Her elder sister is Empress Xiaozhao, whom the emperor owed her all her life from the bottom of her heart. Ama was a former important minister who pacified the government when the emperor was young. Her appearance is not peerless, but she is always delicate and delicate. Coincidentally, she is full of poetry and books and just opened her mouth. All these things are imposed on her alone, and the emperor should look sideways." Rong Yue paused, and suddenly smiled brightly: "It's just that the emperor loves her so much. It's not the most important thing. Do you still remember that in the past, the emperor ordered her to be grounded and demoted for a long time because of the miscarriage of Concubine An? Then how much Concubine An was in the Emperor's heart, it can be seen that the imperial concubine at that time, but at the same time Today's songs are like songs, they come and go when they are called."

"The emperor will come later"

"Later?" Rong Yue stroked Yun Han's immature cheeks lightly, and said calmly: "Later in the Hall of Martial Arts, didn't she save the life of the emperor?"

Quezhen suddenly realized, and sighed: "Then the emperor's kindness to her is not to repay the kindness of saving life?"

Rong Yue raised her eyebrows with a half-smile, "I'm afraid even the emperor himself is confused about the meaning here. She"

While talking, he suddenly stopped and looked at Yun Han carefully. Seeing that the child was twitching slightly, he poked his head into his neck and wiped the sweat with his hands, and immediately asked nervously, "Why are you sweating so much?"

Quezhen leaned closer to the increased fan force, and wondered: "The princess bedroom is the coolest place in Chengqian Palace, so there is so much sweat."

In the middle of her speech, Yun Han suddenly woke up, crying with her mouth half open.

"Could it be that you're hungry?" Que Zhen hurriedly called in the wet nurses who were waiting outside the palace, and ordered them to breastfeed the little princess.

But the princess tried her best to smack the nipple of the nurse, but her mouth was not wide open, and the milk flowed from the corner of her lips.

Rong Yue panicked, widened her eyes and sternly asked the servants in the palace: "You stupid thing, you were fine just now, what's wrong with the princess?"

Because of her rage, everyone hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to confess their sins. Rong Yue was about to lose her temper when she saw the wet nurse holding the princess shouting, "Your Majesty, come and see the princess!"

Rong Yue almost threw herself in front of the nurse to protect Yun Yun, but the child's lips were tightly closed, his brows were raised, his forehead was wrinkled, and the corners of his mouth were pulled up, looking at his face that seemed to be a wry smile.Then he clasped his hands tightly, and his small hands were excessively bent, but his legs were kicked straight.

Rong Yue couldn't stop kissing her gently on her face and comforted her: "Yun Han, Yun Yun is fine, Er Niang is here! Pass on to the imperial physician! Hurry to pass on to the imperial physician!"

The palace people were frightened, Sanwu scrambled and ran out of the dormitory in groups, Quezhen kept fanning the sweating Yun Yun from the side, but unexpectedly, the faster the fan was, the more violent the convulsions of Yun Han became , her breathing also became short of breath, and her fair cheeks were suddenly bruised.

Rong Yue had waited for this child for a long time, she cherished it very much and cared for it every day, the child suddenly became like this and she was quickly swallowed by fear.

She snatched Yun Yun from the nurse's arms and hugged her in her arms, with tears streaming down on Yun Yun's face: "Quick! Hurry up and call all the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital to me! Hurry up!"

On this day, Chengqian Palace was extremely lively.

In the afternoon, there were 23 imperial physicians on duty in the imperial hospital. Except for the two who were accompanying the empress dowagers, Fu Zhuo, the court judge who had no call to serve the emperor, was also invited.

The imperial physicians had been tossing about in Yun Han's dormitory for a long time, and Rong Yue had been waiting anxiously outside the dormitory. Yu Wan and Ru Ge repeatedly comforted her because the sun was hot in the afternoon and she was still in confinement, so she was asked to go back to the palace to rest and wait for news. But even if it was a few steps away, Rong Yue definitely didn't want to stay away from Yun Yun, for fear that she would wake up and cry if she couldn't see her.

Not long after, the emperor arrived for an inquiry. When Rong Yue saw the emperor, she buried her head in the emperor's arms, crying heartbreakingly: "The emperor. Contain her."

Although the emperor was also worried, he still comforted Rong Yue and said: "It's nothing, maybe it's because the weather is sweltering and you've caught the heat, don't panic if you're a mother-in-law, the imperial doctor has seen it, if you're sick, let's treat it."

It was about an hour when Rong Yue waited for half a stick of incense outside the hall before seeing Fu Zhuoyue recognized him.

Seeing the emperor and Rong Yue smashing their knees to the ground, they bowed with grief, "Your majesty, the imperial concubine, the princess, she is infected with navel wind."

Rong Yue was extremely astonished, as if there was thunder in her ears.She broke free from the emperor's arms suddenly, pointed at Fu Zhuo viciously, and said angrily: "You are talking nonsense! That navel wind is a common disease among the people. How could a noble princess contract such a disease? And the princess has already been born." It's more than half a month of childbirth, isn't that disease that can't live for half a month, this." Rong Yue said up to this point, suddenly her heart ached, like a lump in her throat, she couldn't say a word, she just knelt down on the ground, weeping in despair.

The emperor endured the grief and ordered someone to help Rong Yue up, and then he took a deep breath and asked Fu Zhuo, "Is there any doctor?"

Fu Zhuo was silent for a long time, his face became more and more ugly, just like the rainy weather in a stuffy summer day, it was the emperor who shouted angrily, and he kowtowed like pounding garlic and trembling his lips and teeth, and replied: "The navel wind was originally called the seven-day wind. It is caused by the unclean objects during childbirth. Most newborns suffer from this disease for [-] to [-] days. Once the disease occurs, the child cannot open his mouth and has difficulty sucking, accompanied by closed teeth, and the corners of the mouth move forward, intermittently Convulsions, convulsions and other symptoms. Later, the child will be unconscious, stiff limbs, high fever persists, stiff body, unable to swallow, and needs to be kept in a quiet, light-proof, windless palace room, with little movement , the child's symptoms will worsen."

The emperor glared with dry fingers, and saliva flew all over the place: "Don't memorize those cumbersome medical books with me! I only ask you how to heal and when you will be cured!"

"Even if I try my best in medical skills, I can't keep the princess full moon! But even so, it is extremely painful for the princess to live."

The emperor turned pale with shock, dizziness came from his forehead, and he staggered back two steps.

When Rong Yue heard Fu Zhuo's words, she immediately fainted from panic, and Que Zhen knelt down in fright and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has passed out!"

The emperor's face was blue and white, sighed and sighed, raised his hand and ordered someone to carry her back to the palace to rest, and then suppressed his anger and asked Fu Zhuo: "Really. Can't you keep it?"

Fu Zhuo kowtowed, hurt and sobbed: "If I can exchange my life for the life of the princess, I am willing."

　Remarks ①: Umbilical wind, also known as seven-day wind, infantile tetanus.The incubation period is mostly 4 to 8 days (3 to 4 days).The shorter the incubation period and the time from the onset of symptoms to the first convulsion, the worse the prognosis.Generally, the onset of the disease is crying and restlessness. The child wants to eat, but the mouth is not wide open and it is difficult to suck.Then the teeth were closed tightly, the eyebrows were raised and the forehead was wrinkled, the corners of the mouth were drawn up, and a "wry smile" face appeared, both fists were clenched, the upper limbs were excessively flexed, and the lower limbs were straightened, forming an opisthotonos.Tonic spasms occur in bursts, and muscle contractions continue to exist during intermittent periods. Mild stimulation (sound, light, light touch, drinking water, light thorns, etc.) often induces convulsions.Spasms of the respiratory and laryngeal muscles cause dyspnea, bruising, and suffocation; spasms of the pharyngeal muscles fill the mouth with saliva; spasms of the bladder and rectal sphincters can cause urinary retention and constipation.

　　The child is conscious and usually does not have a fever in the early stage. Later, the increase in body temperature may be caused by repeated tonic spasms of the muscles of the whole body, or secondary infection such as pneumonia.Those who can pass the spasm period after timely treatment will gradually reduce and alleviate their seizures, and recover after a few weeks.Otherwise, it will die due to more frequent, hypoxic asphyxia or secondary infection.

　　Nursing needs to keep the room quiet, avoid light, reduce stimulation, and avoid disturbance. Necessary operations such as temperature measurement and turning over should be carried out simultaneously as much as possible.To remove sputum in time, tracheal intubation can be used to wash and suck sputum to keep the airway unobstructed and the mouth and skin clean.
