Chapter 402: Panacea

What was he doing here at this time? The lights were already lit in the house and it was already dark outside. Li Wei hugged Shujia tightly, but felt anxious and helpless inside.

Zhao Qian strode in as if he were in his own palace, without any scruples. After entering the room, he said to all the people serving in the room: "You go down first."

This is very inappropriate, but Zhao Qian broke into Chongqing Palace not only in a day or two, but even in front of the Queen Mother, the regent dared to confront him. Zhao Qian regarded etiquette as nothing, and everyone was afraid of him. They all retreated to the corridor.

At this moment, Li Wei was only thinking about Shujia in her arms. When she saw Zhao Qian, her eyes flashed with light. She hurriedly said: "Zhao Qian, you have a way to take us back there, right? When we go back, I will Go to the second brother and ask him to help. If you don’t believe it, you can’t cure Shujia.”

Zhao Qian put a hand on Li Wei's shoulder and whispered: "Awei, calm down."

"How can you tell me to calm down at this time? I just want to save her now." Li Wei said, tears fell down, and she pressed her face against Shujia's. Although this child was nothing like her. Blood connection is closer to her heart than Fu Guang. Now that her life is hanging by a thread, how can she not feel pain.

Zhao Qian, however, was unusually calm and took out a white cardboard box from his arms and handed it to Li Wei.

"Can you see if this medicine can be used?"

Li Wei glanced at the words "cefixime dispersible tablets" written on the carton. Li Wei was surprised: "How do you have such medicine?"

"The medicine I carried in my coat was given by your second brother. It came here with me when I came back. See if you can use it."

Li Wei's hand holding the medicine box was shaking a little. She opened the box, found the medicine instructions inside, and read it carefully under the dim candlelight.

This is an antibiotic. It is true that it can reduce inflammation and sterilize. It can quickly play a role that traditional Chinese medicine cannot. But Li Wei knew that when he went to the hospital for an injection of penicillin, he would undergo a skin test to see if there would be an allergic reaction. Now his hands are like this There is a box of medicine, but Shujia cannot be tested on her skin. What if she is allergic to the medicine

Li Wei hesitated again.

Zhao Qian continued: "You can give it a try. The medicines of that era were very miraculous. They might be able to save Shujia's life."

"But some people are allergic to penicillin, and I can't do a skin test on her. What if she is allergic?"

Allergy to antibiotics can kill people. Zhao Qian also knew this. He said: "This is the last way, you have to take it yourself."

Zhao Qian gave the medicine to Li Wei and left.

Li Wei held the box of medicine. It was something that did not belong to this era. Can Shujia's condition be relieved? This is a brand new box of medicine. There is only one tablet in it, eight tablets in total.

Li Wei was afraid that Shujia would have an allergic reaction, so giving Shujia medicine would accelerate Shujia's illness, so he had to hesitate.

She carefully put away the box of medicine and still guarded Shujia with her clothes on. Li Xing walked in. Seeing Li Wei like this, he comforted her: "Queen Mother, you haven't eaten anything today. The small kitchen made a bowl of bird's nest porridge. Can you eat some?"

Li Wei was not in the mood to eat, so he said numbly: "Take it, I'm not hungry."

"You've been hungry all day, and you didn't eat much yesterday. How can you not be hungry?"

Li Wei was still staring at Shujia's face. She pressed her lips against Shujia's forehead. It was still very hot. Is there really nothing that could be done

When Li Xing saw Li Wei like this, he couldn't help but said: "Queen Mother, life or death is a matter of fate. You can't help the princess at all. There are people around to take care of you, so why don't you worry about it? The emperor is still young, and he has to be raised and taught by you." You are the mother of a country, and everyone in the world is watching you. Please take good care of yourself."

Li Wei only had the dying Shujia in his heart at the moment, and could not hear anything else in his ears.

After a while, Dr. Lu came over. He looked at Shujia and found that the fever on her body had subsided, but her pulse was already very weak. With his current medical skills, there was no way to relieve the princess's pain. He knelt down and apologized to the Queen Mother. Li Wei looked miserable and said tremblingly: "You did your best, I don't blame you."

Is there really no other way? Li Wei watched as the ruddy color on Shujia's face faded little by little, gradually revealing a pale complexion. Her hands and feet also became cold, and she couldn't warm them no matter how hard she rubbed them.

Li Wei leaned forward and shouted softly: "Shujia!"

Shujia seemed to be still conscious. She glanced lazily at Li Wei with her eyelids half-opened, her lips moved but she didn't make a sound.

Such Shujia made Li Wei's heart feel like a knife. She once again thought of the box of medicine that Zhao Qian brought. Otherwise, if she gave it a try, it was the last moment. If she didn't take action, what would she do if she regretted it for the rest of her life? She had already lived her life over, and she didn't want to have any regrets.

Li Wei finally made up her mind. She took out the box of cephalosporin again and read the instructions carefully. The hand holding the instruction manual was shaking. The dosage for children was calculated in kilograms. She estimated that it would be cut into three parts. One of the pills was taken out, then crushed into powder, mixed with half a spoonful of water, and then fed to Shujia. Fortunately, Zaishujia is still conscious and can cooperate with taking medicine.

The medicine was given, but Li Wei's heart beat faster and faster, fearing that Shujia would have an accident due to her allergic reaction to the medicine. Li Wei didn't dare to blink.

Time seemed to have stood still. Li Wei stayed in front of Shujia's bed, always paying attention to Shujia's condition. Fu Guang came to visit his sister, and several concubines either came to see her in person or sent people to say hello. No one has any hope for Shujia's condition, but in fact Li Wei still has a glimmer of hope. She closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and said silently in her heart: "Second brother, please save her. I hope the medicine you give will be effective."

This night was so long, it was undoubtedly a torture for Li Wei. From late night to early morning, and then the morning light poured into the house, the house gradually became brighter, and the candles on the lampstand had been burned out.

Shujia opened her eyelids, and what caught her eye was her mother who was guarding her and was extremely sleepy. Shujia's lips were severely chapped, so she softly called out: "Mother!"

The voice was already very weak, but Li Wei still woke up immediately. She looked at Shujia in surprise and asked doubtfully: "Princess, you called me?"

"Mother, my mouth is so bitter."

When Li Wei heard that, she hurriedly poured warm water for Shujia to drink. The water in the pot had already cooled down. She still poured half a bowl of water regardless of it. Shujia sat up with support. She had been sick for several days and had a little bit of pain on her body. She had no strength, but fortunately her mother supported her behind her and gave her water.

Shujia gulped down the drink as if she had received sweet rain. Because she swallowed too hard, she choked.

"Baby, how do you feel?"

"Mother, I feel better."

"Amitabha." Li Weilian recited Amitabha, which is the effect of one-third of the pills. It seems that Shujia can take this medicine. God bless her and her second brother bless her.
