Chapter 2049 Start treatment
"Old Wang, isn't my life worth more than money? I have a fortune." Li Shen rolled his eyes. This old man is so stubborn. He just drank a glass of wine, but he still wants to try it.
"Don't worry, he doesn't dare." At this time, Li Shimin, who was lying on the bed, said weakly.
He saw the whole process of Li Shen's actions. To poison himself in public, Li Shen had to be crazy.
If this were true, Li Chengqian would be so happy that he would die, as he would be able to get a cash cow legitimately.
Empress Chang Sun stepped forward, took the cup from Wang De's hand and put it to Li Shimin's mouth. She also didn't believe that Li Shen would poison His Majesty.
Li Shimin slowly sat up, picked up the cup and drank it.
"Remember, every minute or two, give me a drink. From now on, drink one pound, no, two pounds of water every hour.
After that, try to drink once every hour. You can drink when you are thirsty, but don't drink too much.
Well...food is also needed, eggs and rice porridge."
Li Shen told Wang De what to do. The amount of light salt water to be replenished is usually around one thousand milliliters to two thousand milliliters.
Li Shen didn't know how to weigh milliliters. The units of measurement were different, so he could only use the Tang Dynasty's jin to measure it. Two jin of water would at least be one thousand milliliters.
"Yes, I have noted it down." Wang De hurriedly memorized it and began to order his servants to weigh out two kilograms of salt water.
"Your Majesty, Princess Ji is requesting an audience outside the palace."
At this time, another eunuch came in to report.
"Xuan."
Empress Changsun gave an order and Lu Dingniang was brought in, followed by several maids, each holding a box in her hands.
"Your Majesty, Queen, and Crown Prince..."
"Okay, we are all family, no need to be so polite." Empress Chang Sun waved her hand.
"My dear, the ginseng you asked me to get is all here." Lu Dingniang looked at Li Shen.
Li Shen took a look and couldn't help complaining in his heart, "Silly boy, why did you bring all of them?" I just told my dad that you only need to take two, why are you so stubborn?
Then Li Shen said to Li Shimin on the bed:
"Your Highness, these are the thousand-year-old ginsengs I collected from the Mohe and Khitan. There are eight of them in total, and they are worth a million strings of cash. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be willing to give them out."
As Li Shen spoke, he winked at Sun Simiao. Li Shen didn't know whether these ginsengs were thousand-year-old ginsengs or not, but after verification by Sun Simiao, they were at least several hundred years old.
Ever since the caravan of Prince Ji's Mansion went to Mohe and Khitan to buy local specialties, the two countries were very happy. Prince Ji's Mansion also offered a high price.
The Ji Palace could exchange tea, soap, fine wine, silk, porcelain and other items that they had regarded as treasures in the past for them.
For this purpose, people of the two tribes went into the mountains to collect medicinal herbs needed by Prince Ji's Palace.
After careful selection, these eight ginsengs were treasured by Li Shen, and he said they were a thousand years old just to show how precious they were.
"You are thoughtful." Li Shimin took a look at the eight boxes and knew that there must be very precious things inside. This box alone was worth a lot of money.
Li Shen waited for a long time but there was no response. He thought his father would give him money.
"This is what I should do. For Aye's recovery, some money is nothing. It's just material possessions. Even if Prince Ji's mansion has to sell everything it has, as long as it can save Aye, I will do it."
Li Shen said this sincerely.
"Yeah." Li Shimin nodded slightly again.
It's over. Li Shen felt very disappointed. This "hmm" meant that his thousand-year-old ginseng had turned into a meat bun and could never come back.
Oh, forget it. I’ll find another chance to talk about it later. What if my dad recovers from his illness and rewards me with something?
Li Shen could only comfort himself this way.
"Doctor Sun, you are the one who decides how much ginseng to use every day. I don't know how to use it. I will grind it and soak it in water before taking it."
"Your Highness, the prescription I gave you already contains ginseng. I don't think it is necessary to take it again."
Sun Simiao thought for a while and said.
"Doctor Sun, my father is too weak. Ginseng can ensure that he will not continue to be weak. You can eat it without worry."
Li Shen said firmly that he had personally seen people suffering from diarrhea and dehydration drinking ginseng water.
Although it has no therapeutic effect, it can lift people's spirits.
"Okay then." Sun Simiao was conquered by Li Shen's salt water, and now whatever Li Shen said was what he did.
Then Sun Simiao told Wang De about the dosage and how to crush the ginseng before taking it.
"Your Highness, these are only temporary solutions. The main problem is your Majesty's diarrhea." Sun Simiao asked again after finishing the job.
"Of course I know this. Wang De, where is the garlic I asked you to steam just now?"
Li Shen looked at Wang De.
"Your Highness, it's been steamed." He gave an order to the eunuch, and a moment later a plate of steamed garlic was brought.
"Take this three times a day. Each time you take...um...eat these."
Li Shen grabbed a handful. This was a folk remedy he used when he was a child. He had eaten steamed garlic to cure diarrhea when he was a child.
Li Shen is now trying every method he can think of. After all, eating steamed garlic will definitely not kill him.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, what is this again..." Sun Simiao was a little suspicious.
"Well... um... there's something in garlic that can treat diarrhea, and it also has a certain therapeutic effect on stagnation."
Li Shen didn't know how to explain it. They were all folk remedies. He only knew that garlic contained allicin, which could treat diarrhea.
Sun Simiao nodded doubtfully.
Under the gaze of everyone, Li Shimin drank the porridge and ate a handful of steamed garlic.
In fact, Li Shen himself didn't know whether it would work or not, but he would use it as long as there was a way.
This is called trying anything possible when desperate. Everyone thought Li Shen had a solution, but Li Shen himself was just guessing and using his father as a guinea pig.
"By the way, have you given His Majesty penicillin?" Li Shen asked.
"Well... Your Majesty, isn't penicillin used to prevent the infection you mentioned? We only use it for trauma treatment and during surgery.
Could it be that penicillin is also effective for diarrhea?" Li Xiuwei interrupted.
They never thought of using penicillin because Li Shen had told them about the infection but did not say it could stop diarrhea.
"Then give my father a skin test and an injection to see the effect. I guess this constipation is caused by eating something unclean and causing an infection in the stomach."
Li Shen also had only a vague understanding of it. He felt that it should have some effect, but he didn't know how much effect it would have. However, a shot of penicillin couldn't kill a person, so it didn't matter.
Sun Simiao thought it made sense after hearing this. This is also what is said about constipation, which is caused by eating unclean things and drinking unclean water.
So he gave an order to Li Xiuwei, who quickly opened the box and began to give Li Shimin a skin test and inject penicillin.
(I have eaten steamed garlic before, but that was around the 1990s, when living conditions were very poor and medical care was very different from what it is today.
The salt water and ginseng in it are all written after I consulted a doctor friend. Don't doubt the power of two boxes of Twelve Hairpins.)
