Even the antipyretic she made herself and the quick-acting antipyretic brought over from modern times were useless to her.
The pain of the high fever gradually made her delirious, and she muttered something from time to time, but she couldn’t make out what it was. Dongfang Wan and Dongfang Mu jumped in anxiety, and almost all the imperial doctors were invited into the Dongfang Family Mansion.
Even Chu Yan rushed over overnight after hearing the news.
Bai Zhi’s body seemed to be on fire as if someone kept burning her with fire.
Seeing Bai Zhi’s painful appearance, Chu Yan said to Imperial Doctor Xu: “What’s going on? Did you use any medicine?”
Imperial Doctor Xu hurriedly said: “Answering back the emperor, the medicine has already been used, but there is no improvement at all. Miss Bai’s illness is too strange. It seems that it is not an ordinary fever.”
“It’s not an ordinary fever, what kind of fever is that?”
Imperial Doctor Xu shook his head: “Answering back the emperor, I have practiced medicine for decades, but I have never seen such a strange high fever. If ordinary people burn like this, I’m afraid that they would have spit and cramp, and even die.”
After hearing that her life could be in danger, Chu Yan became so anxious that he immediately shouted: “No matter what method you use, quickly cure her, and there must be no mistakes.”
Imperial Doctor Xu immediately knelt, and also the other imperial physicians behind him: “Your Majesty, this humble minister is incompetent.”
Chu Yan wanted to kick these incompetent imperial doctors to death. Weren’t they usually quite capable? How come this time, everyone looks like this?
Imperial Doctor Xu said: “Your Majesty, the medicines are useless to Miss Bai. The last solution is to apply a cold towel to her forehead to protect her brain from being burned, and then bathe with warm water. Wipe her body with every other stick of incense, and feed her more warm water.”
These were the most common and simplest methods, but he doesn’t know how many people have been cured by this method since ancient times. As long as they were patient enough and the patient has a good foundation, they can survive.
Chu Yan took the cold towel from the handmaid’s hand, spread it on Bai Zhi’s forehead, and rolled up his sleeves to bath Bai Zhi.
Seeing this, Dongfang Wan hurried forward to stop him: “Your Majesty, let me do it, you all go out.”
Only then did Chu Yan come back to his senses. He was so anxious just now that he almost undressed Bai Zhi in front of all the imperial physicians. He slapped his head and smiled dryly: “Okay, come on, I’ll go out and wait first.”
Chu Yan led a group of imperial physicians out of the inner room, and when he arrived in the courtyard, he severely reprimanded the imperial physicians, but he still couldn’t understand the depression in his heart.
Bai Zhi felt that she was in a sea of flames, and the flames burned every inch of her skin, which almost kill her.
She wanted to die happily, not to suffer this inhuman torture.
But she couldn’t die, and the pain continued, as if it would never end, as if she was in a fiery purgatory.
Why? She knew that she was not awake, and wanted to wake up, but she couldn’t wake up no matter what, and she couldn’t even open her eyes.
There was boundless darkness in front of her eyes, and the burning pain in her body was unbearable.
She heard many voices.
She shouted for help and cried in pain.
It was so noisy that it made her brain hurt.
Gradually, those voices were slowly moving away from her, becoming more and more distant, and she suddenly felt no pain anymore.
Faintly, she realized something.
The sound of police sirens, those cries for help, the pain of the burning body, and the sudden sense of relief that can only be found in modern times.
