Chapter 594
She held Liu Nanny's hand tightly, and asked, "Do you know what disease Eldest Brother is suffering from?"
"Going back to Sifu Jin, the servants deduced that the elder brother got the seven-day wind." The imperial physician said.
"Seven days wind..." Ruoyin murmured repeatedly.
Just by hearing the name, she knew that it should have the same meaning as tetanus.
It's just that in the Qing Dynasty, the names were different.
An imperial doctor thought Ruoyin didn't understand, so he explained it.
"Seven-day wind, so named because it occurs about seven days after the wound is infected. The time for latent infection of the wound is about seven days. The onset occurs within a short day, and the latent infection lasts for several months or several days. There are also old ones."
"This kind of disease is also called convulsion in the folks. Once it is infected, 80% of it cannot be cured, especially if it is infected in the lungs, there is no possibility of cure. So, prepare as soon as possible."
What I said is very clear, there is nothing to save the elder brother, and he has to prepare for his funeral.
After all, the lungs have been infected.
Ruoyin didn't care, she sat down by the bed, lifted the quilt, and checked Hongyi's wound.
"Where is the wound?"
Even though Hong Yi's face was pale, there was bean big sweat oozing from his forehead.
She also suppressed her heartache, held Hong Yi's wrist, and secretly checked his pulse.
In just a few seconds, she discovered that Hongyi's pulse was as smooth as the imperial physicians said, moving like pearls.
Moreover, she saw a highly swollen wound on the back of Hongyi's hand.
It was a circular wound, like a rotting blood hole.
There were blood scabs on the edges, but there was pus and blood in the middle, which looked shocking.
At that moment, her heart was tied together, and she was extremely uncomfortable.
Concubine De at the side had seen the wound a long time ago, but she didn't know the seriousness of the matter at first.
Now after the imperial physician's explanation, there was finally concern on his face.
"How is it possible, it was fine yesterday, but today..." She pointed to the servant kneeling beside her, and asked, "You servants, how do you take care of Big Brother? How can you get hurt when you are so good?"
"Back...Back to Madam, seven days ago, the elder brother took a martial arts class in Maoqin Hall, and practiced horseback riding and archery as usual. The whip is also claimed to be an antique, the handle of the whip is five inches, the length of the whip is three feet, there are thirteen iron bumps, the head of the whip is cone-shaped, and it is still stained with rust."
"Brother Hongxi...I don't like big brother very much on weekdays. He saw big brother archery that day and insisted on learning martial arts with big brother. Big brother didn't agree at first, but he took advantage of it When the big brother was standing there practicing the target, he took the initiative to provoke and whipped the big brother on the hand."
"Later, the elder brother got annoyed, pulled off the whip, and dragged elder brother Hongxi aside. At that time, elder brother Hongxi was still crying."
Concubine De seemed to remember after hearing this.
That day, a slave came to report that the eldest brother of the fourth master's family had fought with the eldest brother of the prince's family.
In the end, although the fourth master's family suffered a little injury, they still beat the prince's family to tears.
After she heard this, she thought it was nothing more than children fighting, so she didn't care.
Moreover, I was a little annoyed that Hongyi was ignorant, and the prince's family dared to do it.
The princess was useless. She had been married to the prince for many years, but she only gave birth to a princess, and never got pregnant again.
Under the prince's knees, there is no eldest son, only elder brother Hongxi, who is three years older than Hongyi.
But... In any case, he is also the eldest grandson of Lord Long Live.
And because she was raised in the palace, she was the first to get the moon near the water tower, and she was loved by the Long Live God since she was a child.
He has been pampered and loved since he was a child.
His temperament is completely like his father's, and he is the little overlord in the Forbidden City.
Therefore, because it belongs to the prince's family.
Concubine De didn't ask any further questions, and just forgot about it.
Now, she naturally has to pretend she doesn't know anything.
"Why didn't anyone come to the Yonghe Palace to say something about such a big matter. Did you treat the wound for the elder brother at that time?" She asked pretendingly.
After hearing this, Ruoyin smiled bitterly in his heart.
Hongyi was studying in the palace, and often went to pay his respects to Concubine De.
Apart from these, Concubine De lived in the palace, so she knew a thing or two about the news in the palace.
In addition, Hongyi is her eldest grandson, if Concubine De cares a little bit.
Call an imperial doctor to take a look, maybe there will be nothing today.
The fourteenth elder brother has no heirs now, but if he does, she dares to believe that Concubine De will ask her about her health and care for her in every possible way all day long.
Where would it be like now, treating Hongyi lukewarm.
"Big brother always loves to study, and the class was so tight that day, he didn't want to delay the class, and didn't ask the doctor to clean up the wound until he returned home after class." The person who said this was Haha Zhuzi, Xiao Jingzi, who was accompanying Hongyi to study.
On the same day, Brother Hongxi also complained to the villain first.
Moreover, the Forbidden City is full of snobs.
Even if elder brother Hongxi was at fault first, no one would testify for elder brother.
Everyone only cared about Elder Brother Hongxi, so they didn't care about Elder Brother Hongxi.
"You bastard slave, your master is so good at studying, wouldn't you think of a way, and you waited until night to deal with the wound!"
After Concubine De scolded the servants, she turned her head and asked the imperial physicians: "I ask you, is there really no other way for elder brother's illness?"
"Returning to your mother, there is really no other way. You don't know that the infected wound of big brother is very poisonous, and it can easily cause convulsions, leading to... suffocation and death."
"If this is the case, I have no choice but to report to Lord Long Live." Concubine De usually doesn't get close to Fourth Master's family very much.
But at this moment, she didn't want her elder brother to die either, after all, she was also her eldest grandson.
In addition, Elder Fourteen had no children under her knees, so she always thought that Hong Yi was a good child.
That's why she moved Kangxi out at this moment to put pressure on the imperial doctors.
Probably De Fei's words played a role.
The imperial physicians looked at each other, seeming to be thinking of something.
After all, everyone knows that the elder brother of the fourth master's family has been loved by the Lord Long Live since he toured outside the Great Wall last year.
If this trouble gets to Lord Long Live, they might not be able to eat and walk around.
So, I only heard a middle-aged imperial doctor say: "Ms. Defei, the elder brother's illness is really difficult to cure, but there is no way out. There is a local prescription in the slave's hometown, which is said to use the bark of black locust tree to make soup. , can cure the seven-day wind."
"Your Majesty, I have also heard of an earthen recipe, which is to boil eggs with river water." Another imperial doctor also hugged his feet improvised.
"Since there is a way, why didn't you say it just now?" Concubine De asked with her chin raised.
"Because of these methods, the slaves are just hearsay, never practiced, and don't know whether it is true or not. The elder brother is the heir of the emperor, so the slaves dare not try."
Hearing this, Ruoyin's mouth twitched into a sneer.
Although, she didn't know what kind of disease tetanus was in the Qing Dynasty.
