"Ahem——"
Li Leling was lying on the hospital bed, coughing hard.
Her face was red, her breathing was rapid, and she held a cold talisman in her hand, which was soaked with cold sweat from her palms.
Li Ang stood at the door and looked at her silently, and asked Li Hui in a low voice: "When did it start?"
"Just half an hour ago,"
Li Hui replied: "She first said that her chest was a little tight, and asked the maid to open the window for ventilation. She started coughing, trembling, difficulty breathing, and coughing just now."
Li Ang asked: "Is there any hemoptysis?"
"not yet,"
Li Hui whispered: "Doctor Qiu has taken her blood sample for testing."
Before he finished speaking, Qiu Feng trotted over, handed a checklist to Li Ang, and said gloomily: "The sputum and blood have been tested, it is plague."
"."
The corridor of the Prefect's Mansion fell silent for an instant.
Li Hui's palm holding the wall was slightly hard, and her fingertips dug into the wooden wall.
Ignoring his bleeding palms that were pricked by wooden thorns, he asked in a low voice: "Is it supposed to be okay? I see that the patients who received streptomycin have improved greatly. They all recover very quickly."
"It'll be fine,"
Li Ang paused and said: "Streptomycin's cure rate for plague is over 90%.
The remaining 10% is often caused by the disease progressing too quickly and medication being taken late.
This disease has just occurred not long ago, and there is great hope for recovery.
You call in the maids who took care of Leling before, and everyone has to do a blood test, and isolate and observe when they should.
Doctor Qiu, go get the injection.
I'll go in and take a look."
He took out the mask from his pocket, stepped into the room, closed the door behind his back, brought a chair and sat down beside Li Leling's bed.
"Ahem."
Just as Li Leling wanted to say something, she started coughing again.
She covered her mouth with her left hand, turned her head slightly and looked at Li Ang, and said in a hoarse voice sadly: "Am I useless? I obviously only took off the mask for a short while the day before yesterday, and I was infected.
Trouble everyone."
"It's nothing. If it weren't for you, we might have been forced to flee to other states now, and effective drugs wouldn't be available so quickly."
Li Ang shook his head and said softly: "Besides, it is not anyone's responsibility to prevent the plague."
He stretched out his hand to hold Li Leling's palm, and frowned slightly the moment he touched the girl's palm.
So hot.
He took out the talisman paper from his arms, wrote a few cool wind talismans on the spot, and pasted them on the bedside bed, letting the cool breeze blow slowly on Li Leling.
And replaced the talisman in her hand with a new Liliang talisman.
Li Leling lay flat on the bed, with gentle eyes, watching Li Ang's movements quietly, and asked in a low voice: "How is Wang's side?"
Li Ang paused for a moment, touched her forehead unhurriedly, and replied as usual: "Kill some, capture some.
The culprit has been brought to justice,
I asked people to publish the confessions of the Wang clan in newspapers and magazines to expose their crimes to the world.
It is estimated that after the closure of the city is over, the remaining Wang clan members will not be able to face the people of Taiyuan Mansion again.
They should all leave Taiyuan Prefecture and move to other places.
There is no more Taiyuan Wang family in the world."
"Um"
Li Leling nodded slowly. She knew that things were definitely not as simple as Li Ang said. Last night, the prefect's mansion was brightly lit, and many monks from the Supervisory Department wearing black gauze and conical hats came.
Apparently it was to prevent the Taiyuan Wang family from jumping over the wall.
The situation at the scene of "persuading" Wang to plead guilty would be much more severe than what Li Ang described.
She thought for a while and whispered: "Is it okay not to harshly blame the uninformed Wang clan members because of my illness?
This time the matter is so big, other aristocratic families will regard you as a knife used by Aye and Shanzhang to fight against each other.
The people trust you and follow you. Whoever you say is a bad person is a bad person.
Many people are afraid of this, including the academy and the imperial court.
You have to care about what other people think sometimes."
Perhaps because of the fever, Li Leling talked a lot more than usual.
"Don't think about messy things. Recuperating yourself well is better than anything else."
Li Ang smiled and said: "Come here, give me the jewelry. I will get an injection later and put in saline."
Li Leling carries many protective instruments on her body. If she does not take off these instruments voluntarily, needles and other foreign objects cannot harm her.
She obediently took off her necklace, bracelet, and jade pendant, and handed them all to Li Ang.
Li Ang put these things in the wooden box on the table and held Li Leling's hand again.
A large number of extremely fine ink threads gently penetrated the skin of her palms and reached the blood vessels. The condition was examined in more detail.
In order to avoid Li Leling noticing, Li Ang continued chatting, "When you get better, when we return to Chang'an, the accumulated homework will probably pile up to the sky."
"Oh, it shouldn't happen, right? Isn't this some kind of force majeure?"
"There is no such thing as force majeure in the academy. The chaos in the late Sui Dynasty was so chaotic that the academy was forced to withdraw from Chang'an City and flee. It still sent homework to all students and asked them to complete it. The maximum grace period was a period of time.
So much so that there is a saying that ‘as long as you can’t learn to die, learn to die’.”
Li Ang smiled and said: "Fortunately, I am studying Nian Xue. I can multi-task and can control more than a dozen pens at the same time, so I should be able to finish it quickly."
His words suddenly paused, his pupils instantly dilated, and he slowly added the last word "成".
In the microscopic world that is difficult to see with the naked eye, the ink has quietly spread to every part of Li Leling's body.
She was indeed infected with plague, and the plague bacteria reached the local lymph nodes along the lymphatic vessels, causing lymphadenitis.
However, in addition to lymphadenitis, lesions also occurred in another place.
heart.
The myocardial echo is uneven, the left ventricle of the heart is enlarged, diastolic filling is abnormal, and troponin is elevated.
Myocarditis.
Li Ang clenched his left hand slightly. The causes of myocardial inflammation can be divided into two types. One is infectious factors such as bacteria, fungi, protozoa, parasites, viruses, etc. The other is non-infectious, such as autoantigens and physical damage.
Medications, etc.
The most common myocarditis is viral myocarditis, which is a self-limiting disease. In other words, after the disease develops to a certain extent, the body can regulate it, control its development, and gradually recover.
Treatment methods, usually auxiliary support methods,
It mainly relies on the body's own immune function to eliminate the virus that is the cause of the disease and reduce the inflammatory response.
Drugs play a supporting role.
The problem is that Li Leling herself has a congenital heart disease, and she only survives now because her parents collected rare drugs for her from all over the world regardless of the cost when she was a child.
Can the condition really be controlled?
