The reason why Emperor Xuanren did not kill the empress dowager was probably to accumulate blessings for her. If the empress dowager could finally recover, these palace maids would probably be punished and sent to other places at most. But if something happened to the empress dowager, they would most likely be buried with her.
Xiaocao made no comment on this, she just had to do her duty.
Based on the Empress Dowager's condition, Xiaocao could determine the location of the bleeding and the approximate amount of bleeding. The situation was indeed not optimistic. According to Xiaocao's estimation, it would be best to perform an operation. However, the conditions did not allow it. Although the craniotomy operation on the girl from Duke Xu's Mansion was successful, there were too many uncertainties. If it were to happen again, Xiaocao could not guarantee success. What's more, the Empress Dowager was of such age that she had many elderly ailments. During the operation, the chance of complications was too high. To be honest, the possibility of the Empress Dowager dying on the operating table was much greater than the success of the operation.
To the extent that, Xiaocao never even thought about surgery, but he did use some "special medicines".
Emperor Xuanren got angry with the palace maids in the Empress Dowager's palace. Seeing that Xiaocao seemed to have hidden worries between her brows, he would also take his anger out on her, but he would never lose his mind. Last year, when Xiaocao "cut open" his stomach, even if he failed, he could still pardon her as long as she tried her best. The same is true now. After all, Emperor Xuanren knew very well that before Xiaocao, neither he nor the Empress Dowager had the possibility of survival. But he is still in a relatively good condition now, and the Empress Dowager may not be able to become the next miracle.
Even if there is no miracle, it is not her fault. Even though she is called a miracle doctor, she is still a human being, not a god.
"An Guo just needs to do his best and there is no need to think too much." Emperor Xuanren restrained his anger as he spoke.
Xiaocao carefully considered the subsequent medication prescription in her mind. Since surgery was not possible, the blood clot had to be dissolved as soon as possible to prevent the condition from worsening and repair the blood vessels. At the same time, blood pressure must be controlled. The medication had to be comprehensive and had no side effects. Therefore, medication had to be used with extreme caution. There was a limit to which medicine to use and the dosage had to be carefully considered.
Suddenly hearing Emperor Xuanren's words, he didn't hear clearly for a moment, "Hmm? Father, please forgive me. I was thinking about the medicine the Empress Dowager said and didn't hear clearly." Xiaocao said quite bluntly.
"It's okay." Emperor Xuanren patiently repeated what he had just said.
"Thank you, father. I will do my best." It is indeed a blessing to meet a monarch like Emperor Xuanren, who gives her trust and tolerance. In return, Xiaocao will certainly try her best.
"Then you continue, I will take everyone else away." There were so many people gathered here, although they didn't say anything, but when they saw it, they might have felt annoyed. The prescription was so important that it could not be taken lightly.
He treated the grass like a gentle breeze and drizzle, but when he turned around, others seemed to be able to feel the chill. They dared not breathe, and knew that they were unnecessary and in the way at the moment. Emperor Xuanren asked them to leave, and no one dared to ask to stay, even in the name of "fulfilling filial piety". If they dared to talk about filial piety at this time, they would definitely die a miserable death.
The Empress Dowager's condition has been stabilized for the time being, but no one dares to remove the silver needles from her body, even if the special medicine has taken full effect. After all, special medicines usually come with side effects and are not usually used.
After the first dose of medicine was fed down with some difficulty, another drip was made. In the afternoon, people finally felt a little relieved. In the middle, there was a particularly dangerous incident, which almost...
Only at this moment can Xiaocao eat something with peace of mind.
—Emperor Xuanren personally ordered that food be prepared at all times.
Regardless of the danger before or the stability now, Emperor Xuanren was notified at the first time. When Emperor Xuanren came before, he did not go in, but waited outside, trying his best to control his emotions. This time, he had fewer concerns and strode in.
Xiaocao put down his chopsticks and was about to stand up...
"An Guo, no need to be polite, just continue eating. I will consult the imperial physician to find out the situation."
Xiaocao didn't bother to be polite with Emperor Xuanren, she was indeed hungry.
There were also people from the Imperial Hospital who had been there all the time, but their treatment was not so good. Although they had lunch on time at noon, it was obvious that the food was not good. Even if they were hungry in the afternoon, they could not get any extra meals.
It was said that Xiaocao had always been the main force before, and the people from the Imperial Hospital basically had no chance to help. However, more than a dozen of them were waiting and did not dare to leave, except when there might be a need, and it was also an opportunity to learn.
Xiaocao was also willing to teach as long as it did not interfere. Therefore, when Emperor Xuanren asked them questions, they did not know the answers to any of the questions. Even so, facing the cold and indifferent Emperor Xuanren, they could not stop the sweat on their backs.
Emperor Xuanren naturally didn't understand the details, but the people from the Imperial Hospital answered clearly and immediately, which made him quite satisfied. "Thank you for your hard work. When the Queen Mother is well, I will reward you handsomely."
"Your servants are terrified. It is Princess Anguo who is busy. We have done nothing." Only a fool would take away the credit from Princess Anguo.
Emperor Xuanren waved his hand and said nothing more.
After the meal next time, she still dutifully reported to Emperor Xuanren. Compared with what he asked the imperial doctors and others, what she said was more detailed and comprehensive, covering all aspects.
"I'll leave it to you. I'm at ease."
However, in this case, Xiaocao cannot leave the palace, and will have to postpone her return home tomorrow.
