Zi'an said, "No, thank you, Ma'am. I haven't eaten anything today. If I eat too much at once, it will be bad. This is enough."
"Okay then!" The nanny ordered people to remove the snacks and bring up tea, then she went outside the hall to serve.
Murong Jie looked at Zi'an with a hint of wonder. This woman was indeed not simple. Nanny Yang had been with the Queen for many years and was used to the ups and downs of the palace. Yet, she had won him over in just half a day. Others would not be able to do that even if they had spent several years trying.
After Zi'an finished eating, he looked at the judge and asked, "Sir, I want to know the circumstances of the two attacks of His Royal Highness Prince Liang."
The judge nodded and told her what happened before and after the two attacks of Prince Liang, including how he handled the attacks and what sequelae he speculated would have. He shared his views on everything.
After listening to this, Zi'an roughly understood the initial situation of King Liang.
She thought for a moment, then looked up at Murong Jie, "Your Highness, the most serious condition of Prince Liang is that he may have pneumonia. Pneumonia can develop rapidly within two or three hours, causing breathing difficulties or even suffocation. The Queen does not agree to acupuncture to relieve Prince Liang's breathing problems, so our current treatment must be very conservative, and Prince Liang will have to endure the pain for a longer time."
Murong Jie didn't expect that aspiration pneumonia was so serious, and he couldn't help but frowned, "Then how is it treated conservatively?"
Zi'an said, "Give him oxygen."
"What?" Murong Jie didn't understand what she said for a moment, "Supply?"
"Oxygen, oxygen is..." Zi'an tried to explain it as briefly as possible, because the regent didn't seem to be very patient. "Oxygen is a gas in the air we breathe. Now that Prince Liang is lacking oxygen, it will cause damage to various organs in the body and cause various problems caused by lack of oxygen. Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is to give him oxygen, then reduce inflammation, and finally deal with other problems in the body."
The judge initially supported Zian, but when she said that oxygen was a type of gas in the air, he couldn't help but think it was absurd and retorted, "Air is just air, what other gases are there? Could it be that air can be divided into several types?"
Zi'an wanted to explain the composition of air to him, but it would take a long time to explain it now, and it would be even more difficult to make him understand, so he said, "Please believe me, Lord Judge. I will not harm King Liang. If anything happens to King Liang, I will be in danger. I asked you to come here because I hope you will support any treatment plan I make to the greatest extent possible."
The judge has been in officialdom for a long time. Although he is not cunning, he is somewhat protective, otherwise he would not have asked the regent to come and testify.
However, after hearing what Zi'an said and seeing the sincerity in her eyes, he was a little shaken. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "But how are you going to give us oxygen? You said that oxygen is in the air, so isn't it enough to just breathe it? You can't just grab a handful of air and then take the oxygen out, right? That's ridiculous!"
Zi'an also frowned. This was actually a big problem. There was no way to separate the oxygen here.
The simplest way to separate oxygen is to separate it by cooling it down according to the boiling points of the gases in the air, but she had no way to lower the temperature below minus 183 degrees.
She thought of the mountains and forests. Modern people are paying more and more attention to the oxygen content in the air, so there are always some scenic spots that are famous for their natural oxygen bars to attract people to come and recuperate. Of course, it is not as good as medical oxygen, but it seems to be the only way at present.
However, it is not realistic to move King Liang to the mountains and forests now. She thought about it and decided that there should be a large number of plants in this imperial garden, and fast-growing plants release the most oxygen.
"Your Highness, is there a banyan tree in this palace?" Zi'an asked.
Murong Jie said, "Banyan tree? In Changsheng Palace, there are indeed banyan trees all over the garden, near the water."
Zi'an was overjoyed. "Really? That's great. Please ask the prince to persuade the queen to quickly move His Royal Highness Prince Liang to Changsheng Palace, and not let him live in the palace. Just put a long couch in the banyan tree forest and by the water, and let His Royal Highness Prince Liang lie there."
"Why?" Murong Jie felt unsure whether he should believe her or not, and was even a little disappointed. He had seen her treatment before and it seemed quite reliable. But now she was separating the air and transferring it to the banyan tree. This was not treatment, it was torture.
Zi'an was a little anxious and irritated. In modern times, no matter what treatment plan she decided on, no one would ask her why, because she was an authority.
However, here she was as humble as dust, and she had to explain to a lot of people why she made decisions, and most of her time was spent on explaining.
"Because," Zi'an had to explain patiently, "banyan trees and some fast-growing plants, especially those near the water, release the most oxygen after photosynthesis around 3 p.m. The oxygen in this place is higher than the indoor space we are in now."
She planned to explain photosynthesis and prepared a set of arguments to explain it slowly, because if she wanted to convince the Regent and the judge, she had to explain everything thoroughly.
However, after hearing her words, Murong Jie did not ask anything, but only said: "You discuss the next treatment plan with the judge here, and I will go in and tell the queen, and arrange to transfer Prince Liang over."
Zi'an was very grateful, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Murong Jie glanced at her with gloomy eyes and said coldly, "Xia Zian, I hope you won't let me down."
After saying this, he turned and entered the inner hall.
Zi'an felt half relieved. She used to think that the Queen and the Regent were fighting fiercely, and the Regent would not be happy to see her save Prince Liang. But now it seems that he is very nervous about Prince Liang. In this way, she no longer worries about offending the Regent by saving Prince Liang.
But she was not one of the conspirators, so she couldn't guess whether the Regent really cared about her or just pretended to care. Now she could only take things one step at a time.
I just hope that the Prince Regent will always remember that Prince Liang is his nephew and cherish this family affection.
She calmed down and discussed the follow-up treatment with the judge. The judge listened to her, although he didn't quite understand, but he asked, "How confident are you that you can cure His Royal Highness Prince Liang?"
Zi'an thought for a moment and said, "As long as we can suppress it and not make the infection worse, we still have a good chance of success."
The judge was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said firmly, "Okay, I believe you, even though I have no reason to. After all, what you said was too absurd. However, you did bring King Liang back to life. For this reason, I support any decision you make and will bear all the consequences with you."
Zi'an knew that the judge's words showed his great trust in her. She had only wanted to persuade him not to interfere as much as possible, but she did not expect him to be so supportive. Her confidence increased immediately. "With the support of the adults, I will do my best."
No one knew how the regent persuaded the queen. Anyway, when he came out of the inner hall again, he said with a clear expression, "Get ready. We will send Prince Liang over soon."
