Chapter 301 Emergency, Grandfather is Critically Ill
"Grandmother, you just said that grandpa's illness was caused by drinking?" Yao Qingnian looked at Duke Chen who was sitting on the bed.
"That's right. I get angry when I talk about this. The doctor had told him not to drink, but he insisted on drinking. He thought he was a young man and it was okay to drink a few ounces of wine casually. He even dared to hide alcohol in the house. He's really amazing, hum!"
“…Why are you bringing this up again…Can’t I just take good care of myself…” the old Duke muttered.
"Grandfather, I learned some medical skills from my master in the countryside. Let me take a look at it for you!"
"Don't worry, Nianran. Your grandfather is very happy that you have this intention. I know my own body. There is no problem. It is your grandmother who is making a fuss." Duke Chen waved his hand.
"What's the matter? Do you think I'm meddling too much?" Old Madam Chen's face darkened.
"No, no, it's my honor that the madam takes care of me. It's my duty!" Duke Chen said with a flattering look on his face.
"Dad, just let Nianran take a look at you. You all know about my mother-in-law's headache. She has seen many doctors for so many years but to no avail. It hurts terribly when an attack occurs. After Nianran gave her two injections and prescribed some painkillers, the frequency of her attacks has decreased and the symptoms have eased a lot!" Chen Shuhua advised.
"Nianran knows medicine? Okay, then you can take care of grandpa!" Duke Chen did not refuse the child's kindness and stretched out his hand to let her feel his pulse.
"Grandfather, do you feel particularly uncomfortable right now? For example, a stomachache?" Yao Qingnian saw that Duke Chen's face was a little pale, and he seemed to be in some pain.
"Yes, yes, yes, Nianran, how did you know? He was lying in bed because of the stomachache! The doctor prescribed stomach medicine for him and said that the stomachache was caused by drinking." Old Lady Chen said from the side.
"These quack doctors, the medicine they prescribe is of no use at all." Duke Chen couldn't help but complain. He just had a stomachache and no matter how much medicine he took, it didn't get better.
"You'd better lie down! Don't sit anymore." Zheng Cheng helped him lie down.
"Nianran, how is your grandfather?" Chen Shuhua asked.
"Grandfather, this is not a simple stomachache. The preliminary diagnosis is pancreatitis, and the situation is somewhat critical now. He must be treated immediately, otherwise it may be life-threatening." Yao Qingnian had to wait for the examination to confirm the specific situation, but as soon as she finished speaking, Duke Chen fainted from the pain.
"Old man, what's wrong with you? Doctor!" Old Madam Chen noticed something was wrong and shouted.
The doctor was in the yard. He ran in upon hearing the noise and examined Duke Chen. After a while, he said with a heavy face, "The Duke's pulse is disordered and his breath is weak. I'm afraid..."
"What? Impossible, doctor! You'd better think of a solution quickly!" When Mrs. Chen heard the news, she almost collapsed to the ground. Fortunately, Zheng Cheng and Chen Shuhua supported her.
"There's nothing I can do..." The doctor shook his head.
Just when everyone looked solemn, Yao Qingnian said, "Mom, take grandma and the others out! I have a way!" Pancreatitis can be life-threatening when it is severe. The medical level in ancient times was limited, so it was normal that it could not be cured. Now it is an emergency, and surgery is the only option. She asked everyone to go out.
"Do you have a solution?!" The doctor looked at the little girl in front of him and didn't quite believe it.
"Stop talking nonsense! Get out quickly! The longer you delay, the more dangerous it will be! Shanwei, you guard the door and don't allow anyone to come in." Yao Qingnian's tone was unquestionable.
Seeing this situation, everyone had no better way than to trust Yao Qingnian, so everyone left the house and closed the door, and Shanwei stood guard at the door.
"Madam, the Duke is blessed with a long life, he will be fine." Zheng Cheng didn't know what to do, so he could only comfort her softly.
Although everyone believed in Yao Qingnian, they still felt that she was too young and had probably never encountered such a critical situation. The old lady took out her badge and ordered someone to go to the palace to invite the imperial physician.
Yao Qingnian brought the person into the space and first gave Duke Chen a comprehensive examination. The results were the same as she expected, it was acute pancreatitis. The situation was a bit serious and surgery had to be prepared immediately to remove the necrotic pancreatic tissue.
Pancreatitis is caused by drinking a lot of alcohol, which increases the secretion of pancreatic juice, damages the pancreatic tissue, and causes acute pancreatitis, which is life-threatening in severe cases. This is the case with Chen Guogong. If she hadn't come here today, with the current level of medical care, she would have been beyond help.
"Mom, everything will be okay." Chen Shuhua and others were waiting anxiously at the door.
About an hour later, the person who was sent to the palace to invite the imperial physician came back: "Madam, the person is here! It's Divine Doctor Han. Divine Doctor Han happened to return to the capital today to check the emperor's pulse. The emperor heard that Duke Chen was critically ill, so he specially asked him to come and treat him."
"Greetings, Doctor Han!" Everyone bowed to Doctor Han.
"No need to be so polite. Where is the Duke now? Take me to see him."
"He is in the room, and my granddaughter is treating him." Although Mrs. Chen was extremely anxious, she still remained calm and said.
"Madam, please let the miracle doctor in quickly! If it's any later, it will be a waste of time. Although my cousin knows medicine, she is definitely not as skilled as the miracle doctor Han." The court doctor at the side said anxiously.
"Well... well then! Doctor Han, please!" The old lady led the person to the door and was about to go in when Shan Wei stopped her: "The young lady has ordered that she is treating old Duke Chen in there, and no one is allowed to enter and disturb her."
"Little girl, you are so arrogant. Who is your daughter? How dare you block me from saving people? Will you be responsible if something happens?" Divine Doctor Han smiled contemptuously. There were so many people begging him to save them, but he might not save them! This girl actually blocked him. If it wasn't for the emperor's order, he would have turned around and left.
Shan Wei also knew that the Doctor Han in front of her was a powerful one, but she obeyed the young lady's orders unconditionally. If the young lady said to guard it, then she had to guard it and no one could enter.
"Mom, why don't you wait a little longer? I believe in Nianran." Chen Shuhua still believed in her daughter. With her personality, she would not act recklessly.
"Yes, this girl looks reliable. Let's wait a little longer." Zheng Cheng also spoke for Yao Qingnian.
"Madam, you can't do that! My cousin is so young..." The court doctor wanted to continue speaking, but when he saw the expressions of the old lady and others, he shut his mouth obediently.
