Han Du also joined in.
The leading physician checked Li Wenzhong's pulse, shook his head and said to Han Du: "In fact, Duke Cao Guogong's pulse is not weak, only the lung pulse is a little weak, but I don't know why Duke Cao Guogong has a high fever and is unconscious."
After hearing this, Han Du reached out and grabbed Li Wenzhong's hand. Immediately, I felt that Li Wenzhong's palms were extremely moist and hot, and I was shocked, how could this be?
Han Du noticed something was wrong and immediately waved the imperial doctor away. He leaned down and put his hand on Li Wenzhong's forehead.
"It's so hot!" Han Du couldn't help but exclaimed, "Why is it so hot?"
The imperial doctor on the side immediately explained: "When it was getting dark today, Cao Guogong suddenly started to have a fever, and he fell into a coma not long after."
It is definitely not possible to have such a high fever. If the body temperature is not brought down, I am afraid that Li Wenzhong will be burned alive in a short time.
Han Du reached out to pull the quilt on Li Wenzhong. After pulling it, he discovered that he was actually covered with three quilts. People with fever need to cool down, so if they are covered with three quilts like this, isn't this adding fuel to the fire?
Han Du suddenly pulled twice and threw the two quilts under the bed.
"Uncle, what are you doing?" The imperial doctor was suddenly startled and shouted quickly, "You will aggravate Duke Cao Guo's condition."
Although the imperial doctor shouted anxiously, he actually felt relieved. With Han Du's actions, even if something unexpected happens to Cao Guogong, they can shift part of the responsibility to Han Du. In this way, at most they will be dismissed from their posts, but the possibility of losing their heads is unlikely. In other words, their heads were saved when Han Du pulled back the quilt.
"Shut up!" Han Du immediately turned around and cursed the doctor.
The white-haired imperial doctor was scolded by a young man like Han Du. Not only was he not angry at all, but he was relieved.
Han Du ignored what the imperial doctor was thinking, turned around and said, "People with such a high fever must lower their body temperature immediately, otherwise they may be burned to death before they can be treated with your medicine."
Han Du untied Li Wenzhong's shirt without any scruples and pressed it against his skin. Sure enough, Li Wenzhong was covered in sweat under his clothes.
.
"Bring me some cotton."
Upon hearing Han Du's request, Lao Zhu immediately pointed outside and shouted: "Bring the cotton cloth quickly."
Duke Cao has whatever he wants in his house, including just cotton cloth. Soon, the servant arrived with a piece of cotton cloth.
Han Du pulled away two feet, drew the knife of the guard next to him, and cut off three pieces of cotton cloth after a few pulls.
He handed the cotton cloth to the three imperial doctors and ordered: "Go and wipe off all the sweat on the father-in-law's body. Remember that once the cotton cloth is wet, it cannot be used. You must use dry cotton cloth."
Several imperial doctors quickly took the cotton cloth and went to help Li Wenzhong wipe away his sweat. Although they are imperial doctors, they have done this kind of thing countless times when they were studying medicine, so they are naturally familiar with it.
After Han Du ordered the imperial doctor, he turned to Mrs. Cao Guogong and asked: "Madam, my uncle's clothes are all wet with sweat. Please find me some cotton clothes."
"Does it have to be cotton? Can it be made of satin?" Mrs. Cao Guogong felt a little embarrassed. As the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, Li Wenzhong always wore silk and satin, so why would he wear cotton clothes? Therefore, the house really did not prepare cotton clothes for Li Wenzhong.
Moreover, to be honest, even the servants in Cao Guogong's mansion wore silk and satin. Where could I find cotton clothes?
Han Du shook his head after hearing this and said: "Cotton is very absorbent. My father-in-law is still sweating all over his body. Wearing cotton clothes can absorb the sweat in time and keep his whole body dry. Satin Although it is expensive, it is of no use."
"Then what should we do?" Mrs. Cao Guogong suddenly became anxious. She didn't have cotton clothes, so even if she made them now, it would be too late.
At this time, the handyman on the side suddenly interjected, "Mrs. Qi, the younger one is about the same size as the father-in-law, but he has a few cotton clothes to wear for work. But please don't worry, madam, they are all clean. Why don't we let the younger one?" Go get it?"
"Go quickly, go quickly, I will reward you heavily later." Unexpectedly, Mrs. Cao Guogong quickly asked the servant to bring the cotton clothes.
After the cotton clothes were taken care of, Han Du continued: "Bring some more strong liquor, the stronger the better."
Although
I don’t know what Han Du is doing with the liquor, but now that Han Du is Li Wenzhong’s only life-saving straw, naturally he gets whatever he says.
Li Wenzhong was also a good drinker. After Han Du made distilled liquor, he gave him a lot of it. Naturally, there was no shortage of spirits in his house.
Soon, several altars of immortal drunkenness were moved in front of Han Du. Han Du took out a basin and poured all the strong liquor into it. He picked up the cotton cloth and soaked it in the wine, squeezed it gently, and then moved it in front of Li Wenzhong.
"Have you dried them off?"
When several imperial doctors heard this, they immediately nodded towards Han Du.
Han Du continued: "Take off all the clothes on the father-in-law's body, and then wipe the hands and legs with wine." Han Du pointed to the inside of Li Wenzhong's arms and thighs.
"Remember, after wiping a few times, wipe off the wine with a dry cotton cloth. Just wipe it again and again. Don't rub it on your body." Several imperial doctors followed Han Du's instructions and first changed the clothes of Duke Cao Guo with cotton clothes. Then, he wiped Li Wenzhong with strong alcohol continuously.
Han Du kept putting the back of his hand on Li Wenzhong's forehead to try. After the meal, Han Du finally felt that Li Wenzhong's body temperature had dropped a little. He breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone he had been lifting fell down a little.
As his body temperature dropped, the flush on Li Wenzhong's face began to fade, and his face slowly returned to normal.
In a daze, Li Wenzhong felt uncomfortable and struggled to open his eyes.
"Water, water~"
When the imperial doctor saw Li Wenzhong making a move, he shouted in surprise: "Your Majesty, the father-in-law is awake, the father-in-law is awake~". The imperial doctors immediately cried with joy, they were even happier than they were when they were seriously ill and sober up.
"God's Coming"
Everyone heard Li Wenzhong's voice.
Lao Zhu immediately stepped forward quickly, pushed away an imperial doctor, and looked at Li Wenzhong closely. "Baoer, Baoer?"
Seeing that Li Wenzhong still had his eyes closed but kept calling for water, Lao Zhu quickly shouted: "Come here, bring water quickly."
Han Du touched the teapot on the table, warmed it, turned over a teacup, poured the water on it, handed it over, and said: "Sick people can't drink cold water, let alone raw water, they can only drink warm water. Hot water.”
