There were already two imperial doctors at the Queen's bedside. Because the Imperial Concubine and Concubine Hu were both pregnant, Concubine Di came to visit and listened to the imperial doctor's diagnosis and treatment, only waiting to report back to the Emperor.
After Yuan Qingling met the imperial concubine, she first asked the imperial doctor, "How is the queen's condition?"
The imperial doctor stepped forward and bowed to answer: "Replying to the Crown Princess, my face is yellow, her body is edematous, and her liver is hard and swollen. I guess it is due to stagnation of liver qi, insufficiency of qi and blood, and damage to the internal organs."
Hearing this, Yuan Qingling walked over with the medicine box. When he saw the queen, he was slightly startled. She had lost a lot of weight, her face and eyes were yellow, and the quilt covered her body, but it could be seen that
Her belly was a little swollen. She was conscious but mentally exhausted. When she saw Yuan Qing coming, there was no light in her eyes. She just glanced at him and then looked at King Qi behind her.
Ever since she was imprisoned in Fangming Hall, she had rarely seen her son. She used to have a knot in her heart, but now she was lying ill in bed. She hated her past persistence and looked at her son with a sour look in her eyes.
King Qi stepped forward with tears in his eyes, held her hand, comforted her a few words, and persuaded her to let Yuan Qingling diagnose and treat her, and the queen agreed.
Yuan Qingling first listened to her heart and lungs, then pressed her liver and asked: "Mother, does it hurt?"
The queen frowned and took a deep breath, "It hurts!"
Yuan Qingling pressed her swollen abdomen again and asked, "Where is it here? Does it hurt?"
The queen still looked like she was in pain just now, "It hurts!"
Yuan Qingling checked her legs and found that they were severely swollen. When she pressed down with her hand, it was difficult to bounce back.
If you have water accumulation in the abdomen, edema of the lower limbs, pain in the liver and abdomen, and looking at the yellowing of the face and eyes, the basic diagnosis is hepatic ascites.
Yuan Qingling asked the people serving in the palace and said that the queen had lost her appetite a month or two ago, had vomited blood and had blood in her stool, and had severe diarrhea.
"Fifth sister-in-law, how are you?" King Qi looked at Yuan Qingling and asked.
Yuan Qingling opened the medicine box, checked that all the medicines needed were complete, and then said: "Let's give the medicine first, drain the edema, and see if it can be drained out. If it can't be drained out, I'm afraid the ascites will need to be punctured to remove the ascites."
She gave the Queen an infusion of albumin, and then used diuretic drugs to see if she could pass it out on her own. If she could pass it out, the situation would not be the worst. If she couldn't, it would be more serious.
After the infusion, she waited in the palace for about an hour. The queen did urinate, but not much, which was not ideal.
She called King Qi out and told him to be mentally prepared. If the ascites continued to be serious, the queen would not be able to endure it for long.
King Qi's eyes turned red and he couldn't help but burst into tears. When he saw his eighth brother looking over from the corridor, he tried hard to hold back and said softly: "Fifth sister-in-law, just do your best."
"I will try my best, but I have to make you mentally prepared." Yuan Qing Ling said.
King Qi held back his grief and said, "I know."
Later, the princes and princesses also came to the palace to visit the queen, and Lao Wu also came. The relationship between the queen and the princes was not good in the past, but now that she was seriously ill, everyone came to the palace to visit without being summoned. She
I was also very touched, and tears gathered in my eyes, but they did not fall down.
And all the princes, after experiencing the changes in the country, have not kept the grudges of the past in their hearts. It is like being wounded by a knife, so why do you care about the prick of a needle?
Yuan Yongyi arranged the affairs in the palace, packed her clothes and entered the palace. She was the empress's serious daughter-in-law, so she should enter the palace to serve the sick.
In the evening, when Concubine Di reported back to Emperor Ming Yuan about the queen's situation, Emperor Ming Yuan came over in person.
