Chapter 250 Postoperative
"Okay, leave it to me. I won't let you down.
How long has the Empress Dowager been taking the medicine and penicillin?" Xu Qingyi asked Chen Xiu and Lin Yuan.
"The decoction and penicillin I took an hour and a half ago." Chen Xiu replied immediately.
"Now give the Empress Dowager another dose of the decoction, with double the dose of penicillin.
Chen Xiu, you give the Empress Dowager acupuncture to relieve pain, reduce fever, clear away heat and detoxify.
Lin Yuan, rub the Queen Mother's palms and soles with strong liquor to cool them down." Xu Qingyi immediately ordered them both.
"Master, am I supposed to give acupuncture to the Empress Dowager?" Chen Xiu widened her eyes, hardly able to believe her ears.
He had no official rank and was just a disciple. Chen Xiu was afraid to give acupuncture to the Empress Dowager, who was of noble status, for fear of making mistakes.
"Yes, it's you. Your medical skills and acupuncture techniques are better than those of ordinary doctors. I trust you, so what are you afraid of?
If there is anything, I will take care of it. Remember, doctors should be kind and treat everyone equally. Just treat the Empress Dowager as an ordinary patient. "Xu Qingyi nodded.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiu's expression became serious and he immediately nodded in agreement.
"Remember, when you're inserting the needle, you must have no distracting thoughts and concentrate fully, so that you can avoid making mistakes," Xu Qingyi reminded.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiu nodded repeatedly.
Upon seeing this, Xu Qingyi said nothing more and began to instruct Chen Xiu and Lin Yuan to treat the Empress Dowager.
Soon, under the guidance of Xu Qingyi, Chen Xiu began to give acupuncture to the Empress Dowager.
Lin Yuan followed Xu Qingyi's instructions and rubbed strong liquor on the palms and soles of the Empress Dowager's hands to cool them down.
The two of them worked in perfect harmony and quickly completed what Xu Qingyi had asked them to do.
Seeing this, Xu Qingyi nodded slightly, then walked to the Empress Dowager and stretched out his hand to feel her pulse.
After a moment, Xu Qingyi withdrew his hand and a hint of joy appeared on his face.
"Master, how is the Empress Dowager's condition?" Chen Xiu asked hurriedly upon seeing this.
"After taking the medicine and acupuncture, the fever has not continued to rise and has remained at that level. Let's observe for a while longer before making any further comments." Xu Qingyi instructed Chen Xiu and the others.
By the evening, the Empress Dowager had undergone surgery and her wounds became red, swollen and inflamed, and she had recurrent high fevers. Fortunately, Xu Qingyi was in charge, directing his disciples to give the Empress Dowager medicine, acupuncture, and external compresses to reduce her fever. They worked all night, and the fever finally subsided at two quarters past three in the morning.
It took almost the entire night, and Xu Qingyi, as well as Xu Ming and Wang Jie, who were on night watch, were very tired.
The first day was finally over, and the wound the Empress Dowager had sustained from surgery did not worsen, and the second day was better than the first.
That morning, Xu Qingyi had just finished breakfast. After Lin Yuan and Chen Xiu had completed the handover with Xu Ming and Wang Jie, and after Emperor Rui'an and the Empress had been disinfected, they could not wait to check on the Empress Dowager's condition.
"Imperial Physician Xu, Imperial Physician Bai, how is my mother now?" After Emperor Rui'an saw that Imperial Physician Xu's apprentice was giving acupuncture to his mother, he glanced at Chen Xiu.
After seeing that Chen Xiu had performed the acupuncture without any mistakes, he nodded in satisfaction.
"In reply to Your Majesty, I had a recurring fever last night and was tossing and turning all night. It has just stopped for a while now. After getting through the first night, the second day was better than the first day.
The wound on the Empress Dowager's body has not swollen or worsened, and the situation is very good. The Empress Dowager will wake up today. "As soon as Xu Qingyi finished speaking, the Empress Dowager slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were still a little blurry, but after seeing the Emperor, the Empress, Xu Qingyi, and Bai Yan, a smile appeared on her face.
"My prince, my queen, you are here." Although the Empress Dowager's voice was weak, a smile appeared on her face.
Although she felt pain in her body at this moment, she knew that she was not dreaming and she was still alive.
"Mother, how are you feeling?" The emperor hurried forward, held his mother's hand, and asked nervously, his eyes full of concern.
"My son, I feel much better now. It just hurts in this place, but it's much better than a few days ago.
Did Doctor Bai and Doctor Xu operate on me?" The Queen Mother forced a smile. Although her voice was still a little weak, it was much stronger than before. Her other hand pointed to the place where Bai Yan had operated on her.
"Mother, you must have a good rest. With Imperial Physician Xu and Imperial Physician Bai here, you will recover sooner or later." The Queen whispered softly, her eyes full of worry.
"I've operated on the Empress Dowager. Judging from the first day, the wound has not worsened and the condition is very good. Before the operation, there was a 60% chance of success. After the first day, there is an 80% chance of success.
Get through the first three days, and take good care of yourself, and you'll be back to normal." When Xu Qingyi saw the Queen Mother looking at her, she immediately stepped forward and respectfully told her about her physical condition.
"My life is now in the hands of you two, Imperial Doctor Xu and Imperial Doctor Bai.
I've been working hard to take care of me these days." The Queen Mother was immediately shocked when she learned from Xu Qingyi that she would not die as long as she survived the first three days.
It is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death, not to mention that the Empress Dowager is powerful and lives a life of luxury, so she doesn't want to die even more.
On the second day after the Empress Dowager had the operation, her low fever turned into a moderate fever. With acupuncture, medication, penicillin, and external applications to lower her temperature, the second day was much easier to bear than the first.
After the third day, the fever basically disappeared, the wound began to heal, and the redness and swelling gradually dissipated.
Originally, they didn't have to continue guarding the Empress Dowager. The Emperor insisted that Xu Qingyi, Bai Yan and their apprentices guard the Empress Dowager for seven days before letting them leave.
"Before I fell ill, I saw that Imperial Physician Wu and Imperial Physician Cui were helpless with my illness. I thought I would have to go to see the late emperor this time. I didn't expect that Imperial Physician Bai and Imperial Physician Xu would cure my illness. It was really a miracle.
My son, you must reward them well." That day, when the emperor was serving the empress dowager, the empress dowager said with a look of relief.
"Of course, I intend to confer upon Imperial Physician Xu and Imperial Physician Bai the title of Right Court Judge of the Fourth Rank.
As for the four apprentices who are taking care of my mother, I plan to confer them the titles of eighth-rank female doctors and medical assistants." The emperor nodded.
"That's good! After this near-death experience, I plan to go to Tianlong Temple to eat and chant for a while after I recover, and pray for the Buddha's blessing." The Queen Mother continued.
"Okay! I will arrange guards and a royal carriage for you when the time comes." Emperor Rui'an also nodded.
