Chapter 2048: Women, not men
Just after Li Shen and others chatted for a while in Hanfeng Palace, Sun Simiao, Li Xiuwei and a group of doctors came to Cuiwei Palace in a hurry.
There was singing and laughter in the Hanfeng Palace.
Li Shen's return seemed to be a shot of adrenaline for everyone, making the originally gloomy Cuiwei Palace sunny and bright.
Everyone saw hope, the hope that His Majesty would survive.
Even Li Chengqian, the crown prince who was about to succeed to the throne, seemed particularly happy.
When Li Shimin was about to die, Li Chengqian finally realized how important Li Shimin was to him, regardless of whether he was an emperor or not.
Now there is no difference between him and the emperor. He is the only one who makes decisions on all matters of the court, big or small. Li Shimin never asks about it. This is no different from being an emperor.
"Your Majesty, Divine Doctor Sun and others are waiting outside the palace."
Wang Xing walked in to report.
"Let them in." Li Chengqian ordered immediately.
After a while, a large group of doctors came in and saluted everyone:
"Your Majesty, Queen, and Crown Prince..."
"No need to be so polite. Doctor Sun, you must have worked hard on the journey." Li Chengqian said on behalf of Li Shimin.
"This is what we should do." Sun Simiao replied modestly.
"Okay, forget about the pleasantries. Doctor Sun, I asked you to come here to discuss His Majesty's condition."
Li Shen didn't want to waste time and spoke bluntly.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, His Majesty is suffering from constipation. Now His Majesty has been suffering from diarrhea. If it continues like this, it may be difficult to treat.
I have read all the medical books and tried every possible method these days, but to little avail. "
When he saw Li Shen, Sun Simiao's eyes lit up. This little prince always had some wonderful ideas, and perhaps this time was no exception.
"According to Divine Doctor Sun, as long as my father stops having diarrhea, he will be cured, right?"
Li Shen asked back after hearing this.
"Your Majesty, it is true. Your Majesty is weak mainly because of diarrhea."
Li Xiuwei on the side answered.
"Okay then, I will find a way to stop your majesty's diarrhea, and the rest will be left to you." At this moment, Li Shen's face was full of resoluteness, which made others very convinced.
"Your Majesty, are you sure? If so, I am sure that Your Majesty will recover after a few days of recuperation."
Sure enough, Sun Simiao was overjoyed, as he could see King Ji's magical powers again.
“Yes, but the prerequisite is that my father must replenish his body first, otherwise he will die of exhaustion.
Today I will tell you a word: dehydration. People with diarrhea will become weak and dehydrated for a long time, which will lead to complications such as fever.
So the first thing to ensure is the patient’s health.”
Li Shen began to use his limited knowledge to explain to everyone about diarrhea and dehydration. This knowledge was popularized in later generations.
"Dehydration? That means exhaustion." Sun Simiao has worked with Li Shen for many years and is quick to accept new things.
They could actually guess what Li Shen was imagining with the words he used, but it was Prince Ji who used different words.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, the old Taoist has already prescribed some nourishing medicine for His Majesty, but people with diarrhea have weak spleens and stomachs. If the medicine is too strong, it may have a counterproductive effect."
Sun Simiao naturally knew that a person with a weak constitution cannot be nourished.
"So I will use other methods. I remember reading an ancient book when I was young..."
"An ancient book again? Your Highness Prince Ji, how about you show the ancient book to me?"
Hearing Li Shen mention ancient books again, Sun Simiao looked at Li Shen with a smile. This prince always attributed everything to ancient books.
If there is such an ancient book, why haven't I heard of it before? I really think you are all fools.
Li Shen was a little embarrassed and coughed twice: "Prince"
"Ahem... This ancient book of mine comes from ancient times. It was picked from the first immortal vine when the world was first created..."
"Your Highness, could it be that you are talking about the Purple Gold Gourd of Taishang Laojun? I have read Journey to the West many times."
Before Li Shen could finish his story, Sun Simiao exposed it, which made Li Shen very angry.
Just listen to what I say. Why are you picking on me, you big-nosed guy? Is that the point?
"Don't worry about it. My ancient book is only passed down within the family and not to outsiders, and only to girls and not boys." Li Shen was a little exasperated.
Sun Simiao immediately smiled but said nothing.
"What were we talking about? Yes, the method, this method... Never mind, I won't talk about it anymore.
Wang De asked people to prepare a thousand copper coins, and also to prepare the same weight of warm water and salt, and to do it immediately. "
Li Shen didn't want to waste any more time talking to them, and his pretentious mood was ruined by Sun Simiao.
Upon hearing this, Wang De immediately asked Wang Xing to prepare. Not long after, the eunuch brought over a scale, which was similar to a balance, and was called a balance in the Tang Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, you are ready."
Li Shen went forward to check it out, then put a thousand copper coins on it first, and started to put warm water on the other side.
"Your Highness, why is this happening?" Sun Simiao came over. He needed to know why Prince Ji did this so that he could do research in the future.
"Weighing, can't you see it?" Li Shen certainly couldn't give a good face since his mood was ruined.
Soon the weight on both sides was balanced. Li Shen took down the water and copper coins, took out nine from the thousand copper coins and put them on the scale again, and then began to add salt.
After the two were balanced again, Li Shen poured all the salt into the water and stirred it with a spoon.
“Doctor Sun, the saline solution I’m mixing now is called physiological saline solution. You must remember that the ratio is 1,900, not more.
Today's copper coins are old copper coins, and there may be a slight difference in weight. If you want to mix them yourself in the future, you can use new copper coins or other things instead.
But no matter how much it weighs, the ratio of salt to water is 90:1, and you can ask the research institute to calculate it for you."
Li Shen explained to Sun Simiao while stirring.
"Then what is the purpose of this salt water, Your Majesty? Is it for drinking?"
A miracle doctor is a miracle doctor. Sun Simiao thought of this at the first time. Li Shen nodded with some admiration in his heart.
"Yes, it's for my father to drink. I just said thank you for a long time and I will be dehydrated. But drinking water directly is not easy for the body to absorb.
Adding some salt will make it easier for the body to absorb water and achieve the effect of replenishing water.
I have already told you that human blood is mainly water, and humans are made of water."
Li Shen felt that it was almost stirred, so he scooped out a cup with a spoon, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp. He smacked his lips twice after finishing it. It was a bit salty, but it was okay.
"Come on, give me a drink, Aye."
Li Shen looked at the teacup in his hand, which held about 300 to 400 grams of tea. He filled the cup and handed it to Wang De.
"This... let me taste it first." Wang De took it and was about to take a sip.
(I read some comments today, some people said that using Ji Wang’s handwriting as a joke is too exaggerated, saying that people in their twenties can write neatly.
I think what you said is right. When I was a child, my handwriting was not good, like shrimp crawling. But when I grew up, my handwriting became very neat and clean.
Novels are all lies.)
