Luo Yunchu waved his hand, and Xiao Beichen followed him out. When they came to the outside, Luo Yunchu said to him softly: "The imperial doctor's diagnosis of the empress' mother's illness was correct. It is hemorrhage."
The so-called blood disease is called leukemia in modern times. Everyone knows that leukemia is not a minor disease, but a cancer, a blood cancer.
At first they thought that Queen Zhen fell ill just because she was worried about her son. Xiao Beichen resolved the crisis and Queen Zhen would naturally recover.
It wasn't until Empress Zhen began to have unexplained nosebleeds and her fluid volume increased that they realized her condition was not simple.
"Blood syndrome? Can you cure it?" Xiao Beichen asked eagerly.
In modern times, the cure rate for acute leukemia in young children can reach 80 to 90 percent.
But adults with leukemia are not so lucky. Without treatment, they only have a few months to live. After systemic treatment, the cure rate is 40 to 50%.
"My mother's condition can only be cured through stem cell transplantation," Luo Yunchu said truthfully.
Luo Yunchu only mentioned the possibility of a cure, and Xiao Beichen breathed a sigh of relief. You must know that the best doctors in ancient times could only alleviate acute leukemia in a small area and improve immunity, but could not cure it at all.
"What is stem cell transplantation?" Xiao Beichen asked.
"In the past, the only way to treat this disease was bone marrow transplantation. With the advancement of medicine, now you only need to draw the donor's venous blood. There are stem cells in the blood." Luo Yunchu answered concisely and concisely.
"Then draw my blood." His body was blessed by his parents, and every drop of blood in his body was given by his mother. Now he did not hesitate to offer to donate blood to Queen Zhen.
"Not everyone's blood can be used, it needs to be matched, but the success rate of matching between relatives is higher," Luo Yunchu comforted, "Don't worry too much, I will collect some blood samples for you and the queen later, first Conduct a matching test.”
Xiao Beichen couldn't sleep that night because, as Empress Zhen's biological son, he actually failed to be matched with her.
"Does the Queen Mother have other brothers and sisters?" Luo Yunchu put his hand around Xiao Beichen's shoulders, wanting to give him some comfort, "Generally, related donors have a higher chance of successful matching."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Beichen became even more depressed, "No, I only have two biological uncles. My eldest uncle Zhen Xian'an passed away long ago.
My uncle Zhen Mu'an also died of illness two years ago. He contracted bloodemia and died of treatment.
Now only the grandmother and cousin Zhen Lier are left in the Zhen family. "
"Let's take my grandma in for a match first. The parents' chances will be higher."
"good."
Xiao Beichen sighed and stood up, "You go to sleep first, I'll go and be alone."
As understanding as she is, of course she has to give him space to lick his wounds alone.
Xiao Beichen stood in the pavilion with his hands behind his hands, looking intently at the bright moon in the sky.
"Want something to drink?" Piaoxue came uninvited.
Xiao Beichen took the wine bag, raised his head and took a sip. He just wanted to get drunk and relieve his worries. He didn't think much about it, but he used the same wine bag with Luo Xue without warning.
His Adam's apple rolled and he swallowed the wine in one gulp, but he didn't expect the wine to be so strong that it choked him to tears.
After getting the wine bag, Xiao Beichen never gave it back to Luoxue, drinking it one mouthful after another.
"Okay, drink less." Luoxue tried to snatch the wine bag back, but found it empty.
"My mother has always been in weak health, but Gu never thought that she would get such a fatal disease." Xiao Beichen said dejectedly.
Luoxue stretched out her hand and conjured up another wine bag. Fortunately, Xiao Beichen didn't notice it. He stepped forward and said, "I will also drink some with Your Highness."
He still remembered that the first time Yaizhen got drunk in front of him was because he had something happy, and it was not at all as melancholy as he was today.
"Brother, Jade Rabbit is pregnant."
Luoxue's hand shook and she almost dropped the jade chopsticks in her hand. Her eyes were full of surprise and sadness, "Have you touched her?"
"On my birthday the day before yesterday, I drank a few too many drinks and had a messy night with Jade Rabbit..." Yaizhen's cheeks were slightly red, not sure if it was because he was drunk or shy.
Luoxue was even more surprised. This Yaizhen usually had a strong aura, but how could he be so innocent?
Which good family's rabbit can detect pregnancy within two days of intercourse?
Could it be that Jade Rabbit put a colored hat on him?
But seeing that Yaizhen was as happy as a fool, Luoxue couldn't bear to expose her, and just reminded her tactfully: "It would be better to find a heavenly doctor to diagnose her."
"Senior brother is right to remind me. I am a father for the first time and have no experience."
Later, after being examined by the Heavenly Doctor, it was discovered that the Jade Rabbit was actually a pseudopregnancy. She had cultivated into a Jade Rabbit. How could she still maintain the physiological characteristics of an ordinary rabbit? Luoxue scoffed.
…
The next morning, Prince Duan carried his big bamboo basket to the East Palace, placed the medicinal seedlings in the basket on the ground, and sighed.
"Why did Chen'er and his mother get this disease? These are used to treat hemorrhage. They are precious herbs recorded in ancient books. I traveled across mountains and rivers and went through many difficulties and dangers to get them," Prince Duan said with regret on his face, "Only But they are still small seedlings, and they are not used to the water and soil in the palace. Now they are anxious to treat Chen'er and his mother, but they can't even use it, alas..."
Planting them in space does have the effect of promoting growth, but those seedlings are so precious. Can the little old man in front of me, who is obsessed with studying medicine, agree?
But the roads are all made by people. How can you know if you don’t try it? “Um, uncle, why don’t you let me try planting it?”
"Can you grow medicinal materials?" Prince Duan asked.
"How can you say you are good at it? That's called being good at it," Luo Yunchu tried hard to convince Prince Duan, "I'm really average at growing vegetables, but when it comes to growing medicine, I'm really good at it.
We know which medicinal seedlings prefer shade or sun, how much moisture and nutrients the soil needs.
For example, Ophiopogon japonicus prefers yin, Panax notoginseng prefers yang, Platycodon is in the middle..."
"That's okay, you can take it and plant it." Prince Duan agreed happily.
"Thank you, Uncle Emperor, for your trust, but..." Luo Yunchu knew that these were Prince Duan's half-life efforts, so he said the ugly things first, "I have only seen these medicinal seedlings in ancient books, and have never planted them myself. …If the seed goes bad, you won’t kill me, right?”
"Saving people is important. This is the biggest responsibility of every doctor. Don't worry."
Luo Yunchu looked at the old man who was like a farmer in the mountains and made such selfless sacrifice, and his heart was full of admiration.
"My skills in growing medicines are really good. I said that if the medicines go bad, I also want to have a guarantee. After all, you traveled far and wide to find them, but I will try my best. Please don't worry."
"Don't worry, don't worry, I hope these medicines can be helpful to Chen'er and his mother." After saying that, he shouldered the bamboo basket and left.
Luo Yunchu quickly entered the space with medicinal seedlings, carefully planted these seedlings in the medicinal field, and watered them with some spiritual spring water.
The seedlings unfolded their small leaves in the wind, and they were so green and gratifying.
Luo Yunchu was admiring the results of her hard work when she heard someone about to enter the hall, and she hurriedly left the space.
"Greetings to the Crown Princess, Mrs. Zhen has brought Miss Zhen into the palace."
