Chapter 165 Light

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 In the title system of the Yu Kingdom, the emperor's brothers and princes are all crowned princes;

The son of the crown prince is the king of the county;

The prince's son and his direct successor will be the heir king, and the sons will be the county princes. Those who advance with kindness will be granted the title of county king;

Those who attack the county king and succeed him will be granted the title of Duke.

Changxiang County Prince Li Chenghe was the second son of the late emperor's third brother. He originally held the title of County Duke. Because he saved the life of Yu Emperor Li Shun in disguise when he was young, he was promoted one level and was named County King.

Li Chenghe, the prince of Changxiang County, usually lives in Xingningfang and had no interaction with Li Ang before.

If we have to say that we have met once, we have to date back to the Yuan Dynasty, when representatives of the clan and the newly promoted nobles went to the Daming Palace to meet Emperor Yu.

The reason for Li Chenghe's unexpected visit is also very simple: to treat an illness.

"Leling has grown up too."

Li Chenghe, who was wearing a purple robe, was thin and had a sallow face. With the support of his guards, he reluctantly sat on the chair and showed a weak and flattering smile to Li Ang, "Please forgive me, Mr. Li Xiaolang, for this sudden visit of this old man.



"No problem."

Li Ang was not used to talking to clan nobles, so he said bluntly: "Why don't you let me check on your condition first?"

Li Ang is already a well-known little medicine king in the entire Yu Kingdom.

If it weren’t for his status as a disciple of the Academy and the order issued by Emperor Yu that ‘no idlers should be disturbed at will’,

I am afraid that people who come to visit me every day to seek medical advice will queue up from the West Market to the East Market.

Since the foundation of surgery is not yet mature, Li Ang is actually unable to perform real major surgical operations, so every once in a while, he will take the time to secretly visit Chang'an Hospital.

See what you can do.

"Thank you, Mr. Li Xiaolang."

Changxiang County Prince Li Chenghe nodded and accepted Li Ang's physical examination.

His situation is indeed not optimistic, and can even be said to be extremely bad.

Jaundice, ascites, weight loss...

After a physical examination, Li Ang's face gradually became serious, and the disease was located in the liver.

He used percussion, palpation and scratching and auscultation to listen for clear and dull sounds, determine the upper and lower boundaries of the liver, and measure the upper and lower diameters of the liver.

Then he pointed to Li Chenghe's right ribs and asked, "Does it usually hurt here?"

"Yes. Sometimes it hurts and sometimes it doesn't. Just what happened recently. When it hurts, the entire right shoulder and right back hurt terribly."

Li Chenghe noticed the expression on Li Ang's face and forced a smile, "Li Xiaolangjun, this disease..."

"Let's lie down on the table first."

Li Ang called the guards, moved a long table, and asked Li Chenghe to lie down on the table, asking him to bend his legs slightly and take a deep breath.

He touched the lower edge of Li Chenghe's right rib.

lump.

I felt a clear hard lump on my hand.

Li Ang's expression changed slightly, and various information flashed through his mind.

Mild liver enlargement is common in viral hepatitis and toxic hepatitis;

Moderate enlargement is seen in congestion hepatomegaly, extrahepatic bile duct obstruction, bacterial liver abscess, schistosomiasis, etc.;

Severe hepatomegaly is seen in primary or metastatic liver cancer, polycystic liver, etc.

Considering that the liver is hard, there are nodules of different sizes on the surface, liver tenderness and percussion pain, conductive pulses in the liver area, jaundice, spider nevi, liver palms, ascites, and substantial weight loss in a short period of time...
Li Ang took half a step back and shook his head heavily, "Sorry."

Cirrhosis, liver cancer.

Cirrhosis is liver dysfunction caused by tissue structure disorder. Even in a world where medicine is highly developed, there is no cure. The only way is to detect and prevent the progression of the disease as early as possible.

And now it has developed to the advanced stage of liver cancer, where the cancer is so enlarged that it cannot be removed...

"Really..."

Li Chenghe, Prince of Changxiang County, slowly lowered his eyes, and his voice was as soft as if it came from another world, "Doctor Li, what caused this disease? How long do I have left?"

"The most likely cause is excessive drinking, drinking unclean water, or exposure to poisons, etc."

Li Ang said: "As for the time... it may be three months, or it may be half a year."

"That's it."

A bleak smile appeared on Li Chenghe's face, and he slowly stood up from the long table, "I understand, please trouble Li Xiaolang. Three months is still a long time, and I can still arrange some things."

With the support of the guards, he got down to the ground, bowed his hands towards Li Ang, then arranged his clothes and walked out slowly.

Li Leling went out and sent him to the carriage. He looked at the back of the carriage as it drove away with a complicated expression. He said softly: "I heard Aye say before that when he was young, Uncle Cheng He was the strongest among the Li family members of his generation.

, most suitable for physical training and martial arts.

It's just because his father made some mistakes when he was young that he was not qualified to embark on the path of spiritual practice."

Li Chenghe's father was the third emperor's brother of the late emperor. After participating in the coup that overthrew the Holy Queen, he developed some inappropriate thoughts, which eventually affected his descendants and made them unable to practice.

"..."

Li Ang remained silent. If he were in another world, he would definitely encourage the other party to be positive and optimistic, and use all methods to delay the disease and improve the quality of life.

But here there is no immune ribonucleic acid, interferon, interleukin-2, thymosin, no radiotherapy, chemical drug treatment,

Those words are just deceiving yourself and others.

It is better to tell the truth and let the other person fulfill his wish to take good care of his family in the last stage of his life.

Li Ang waved his hand with some disappointment and returned to the mansion.

Li Leling packed her things for a while and hurried back to the Daming Palace to deliver the news to her father and mother.

The lively atmosphere of many days has dissipated, and only Chai Chai and Li Ang are left for dinner.

After Chai Chai finished eating, he went to study.

Li Ang sat beside the bed in the bedroom, lost in thought.

Li Chenghe, Prince of Changxiang County, will die of liver cirrhosis and liver cancer caused by excessive drinking, and his age has far exceeded the average life span of the Yu Kingdom.

More people from the Yu Kingdom died of various accidents and illnesses before reaching his age.

Li Ang estimated that even if he served as a doctor after graduating from the academy, he would gather manpower in a planned way to develop Yuguo medicine.

It is absolutely impossible to advance the medicine of Yu State to the level of another world in our lifetime.

Not to mention the level of modern medicine in other worlds, even the level of modern medicine is still far away.

"It's so difficult."

Li Ang stared at the weak candlelight slowly glowing in the oil lamp, his voice was a little bitter, "Polio, filariasis, schistosomiasis, Kashin-Beck disease, leprosy..."

As a disciple of the Academy, he can enjoy resources allocated from all over the Yu Kingdom.

He lives in a mansion in Jinchengfang,

The person you are dating is either an imperial princess, a descendant of a nobleman, a descendant of a wealthy businessman, or a rising star in the Ministry of War.

When it's cold, you can write charms to keep warm. When it's hot, you can use cool breeze charms to cool down. The maids and servants are responsible for housework.

If you occasionally want to cook and wash dishes, you can do it with your mind, without even a drop of sweat.

Before he knew it, he had become a monk who was "untainted by dust" in the literal sense.

But, what about other people in the world?

I'm afraid only 10% of Yu's 400 million people are living a prosperous life.

The rest are either struggling to make ends meet every day, with no time and no ability to change the status quo.

Or simply live near the poverty line and struggle to survive.

They may even be oppressed by bankruptcy, hunger, cold, disease, evil officials, etc.

He thought of the flower-buying girl he saw during the day with a rotten egg on her head.

Under the shadow of the sun, in the corners that you can't see, how many people are still struggling to survive.

Squeak——

The wooden door of the bedroom was gently pushed open, and Chai Chai walked in quietly, standing next to Li Ang, holding his head in his arms, and gently stroking Li Ang's hair with his palms.

The master and servant cuddled up to each other, as if they had returned to their time in Zhenzhou.

Time passed little by little, and the Haotian bell rang at night outside the window.

"Master,"

Chai Chai's voice came from above, "Bad people don't feel guilty, only good people do.

What you did is good enough."

"....Hmm."

Li Ang smelled the familiar smell of Chai Chai, breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and smiled at the little maid, "I'm fine, thank you."

"Hehe."

Chai Chai smiled sheepishly and suggested, "Would you like to have some more dinner? I feel like I wasn't full just now."

"Okay. By the way, take this."

Li Ang picked up the special pen and paper on the table, wrote Zhang Yan Fu, and handed it to Chai Chai.

Perhaps because Mosi has evolved to the fourth stage, Li Ang's accuracy in controlling spiritual energy has also improved a lot, and the flame talismans he writes are stronger than before. One of them can make the fire burn and heat up dinner.

"Yeah."

Chai Chai took the flame talisman to the kitchen to heat dinner, while Li Ang sat by the bed. After thinking for a moment, he took out the dark lotus ink.

This lotus-shaped alien object can detect future misfortune, and theoretically can also detect fatal illnesses.

I wonder if there are similar alienated substances with wider effects in the Dongjun Building of the Academy, which can help me promote the development of medicine in the Yu Kingdom...

While Li Ang was thinking, the petals of the lotus in his hand suddenly closed.

Like a sunflower, pointing east.
