The Lady's Code for Raising Her Husband

"Save the Queen Mother's life." Ye Yuxiao said without looking back.

"I'm asking you, what are you doing with the knife in your hand!" The emperor stood up anxiously when he saw that Ye Yuxiao didn't listen to him at all.

Upon seeing this, the imperial doctors immediately lined up in a row and blocked Ye Yuxiao from the Queen Mother's bed.

Ye Yuxiao had no choice but to be patient and explain to the emperor: "I will use this scalpel to cut open the Queen Mother's trachea, and then insert the tube into it so that she can breathe smoothly."

"Trachea?" The emperor didn't understand.

"The trachea is at this location in the throat..." Ye Yuxiao gestured on her neck.

If you cut your throat, can you still survive? ! You must know that one of the killer's tricks to take people's lives is to cut their throats! The Emperor's hair stood on end when he heard this, and he firmly objected: "No! I won't allow it!"

Ye Yuxiao thought that the emperor was an enlightened person, but she did not expect that his reaction would be so violent. She was very puzzled by this: "Your Majesty, haven't you seen with your own eyes that I performed an operation on King Lu? The operation I am going to perform on the Queen Mother is much faster than that one. It will be over in a while."

King Lu was operating on his legs, but she was going to slit the Queen Mother's throat. Could this be the same? The emperor firmly refused to allow it: "You just put the knife back, diagnose the Queen Mother's pulse, and prescribe a dose of decoction."

The Queen Mother is out of breath. What's the use of prescribing a decoction? Ye Yuxiao was anxious.

She was originally just worried that her wedding would not be held as scheduled, but when she saw the Queen Mother's appearance, she put the wedding aside and focused on her illness.

Considering the Queen Mother's current condition, cutting the trachea is the simplest and most effective way. Regardless of whether she can be saved in the end, it can at least make her less uncomfortable.

Ye Yuxiao patiently reasoned with the emperor: "Your Majesty, you see, the biggest problem the Queen Mother has now is that she can't breathe. I think it's probably because the tumor in her throat is compressing the trachea, so she can't breathe. . I cut her trachea open so that the air could flow directly into the lungs without being hindered by the tumor, and her breathing would become smoother."

She spoke and gestured, and the emperor generally understood. He looked at the Queen Mother who was unconscious on the bed but still struggling to breathe. He hesitated for a moment and asked the doctors in front of the bed: "In your opinion, should Mrs. Ning Hui slit the Queen Mother's throat?"

"It's to cut the trachea." Ye Yuxiao corrected.

But the doctors didn't care about the throat or trachea, they all shook their heads.

Du An, the judge from the left court, said: "Every three-year-old child knows that once the throat is cut, a person will not survive. Mrs. Ning Hui, even if you make extravagant claims, we will not agree to let you do whatever you want."

Tian Enhan, the judge in the right court, said: "Maybe there is such a medical skill as Mrs. Ning Hui said, but the knife is cutting the throat after all. The variables are too great. We cannot let the Queen Mother take such a risk."

Ye Yuxiao remembered them. One of them used to be the judge of the right hospital, and the other was the envoy of the herbal medicine library. After Ding Mengze fell, Dong Yi was promoted to the envoy of Taiyuan Hospital, and their official positions were also promoted to one level.

Ye Yuxiao had dealt with them and felt that it was impossible to convince them, so he asked them: "Do you have a way to cure the Queen Mother?"

Du An and Tian Enhan looked at each other and fell silent.

Ye Yuxiao then asked: "With your current situation, how long can the Queen Mother last?"

Du An made a serious face: "Mrs. Ning Hui, how are you talking?"

"Isn't this how a doctor should talk? How can he let the emperor know the true situation of the queen mother if she is hiding it?" Ye Yuxiao immediately argued.

Du An stole a glance at the emperor and saw that the emperor seemed to agree with Ye Yuxiao. He quickly swallowed his words that continued to reprimand Ye Yuxiao and changed his words: "The queen mother can probably, should, last until she is ugly."

"What you mean is that you are helpless to deal with the Queen Mother's condition. If the Queen Mother is left to you, she will not live until dawn tomorrow, right?" Ye Yuxiao pressed hard.

Her question was so straightforward and sharp that all the doctors in front of the bed, like Du An, wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.

"Since you have no way to save the Queen Mother, why not let Mrs. Ning Hui give it a try? No matter what the outcome is, there is at least a glimmer of hope." Dong Yi walked in from the door with four or five imperial doctors. Among the four or five imperial doctors, two had followed Dong Yi to Liangtong County.

After these imperial doctors entered the room, they automatically and consciously followed Dong Yi and stood on Ye Yuxiao's side. It seemed that they were all Dong Yi's confidants.

Dong Yi is the envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital and has made great contributions in fighting the epidemic in Liangtong County. His words have weight in the emperor's mind.

With his support, the emperor reconsidered Ye Yuxiao's proposal and asked her: "Is it true that the Queen Mother can be cured as long as the trachea is cut open?"

Why does every patient’s family like to ask such questions? Ye Yuxiao said: "Any operation has risks, which is inevitable, not to mention the crux of the Queen Mother's problem is the tumor in her throat. I can only promise that I will do my best to save the Queen Mother without reservation, and will not let anyone go." hope."

Do your best without any reservation. To her, this was an ordinary statement, but the emperor was very moved after hearing it. There are many doctors in the Imperial Hospital who are wise and protective. They are afraid that if they take a wrong approach, they will lose their heads accidentally, so they only seek stability when using medicine and medicine, and never do their best without reservation.

Ye Yuxiao saw the emperor's relaxed attitude, but to her disappointment, when the emperor spoke, he still insisted on his previous opinion and did not allow her to cut the queen mother's trachea.

Ye Yuxiao didn't understand why this happened and left the inner room frustrated.

She blew the wind outside for a while and wanted to leave, but she couldn't let go of the Queen Mother. While she was hesitating, Eunuch Wei appeared behind her holding a whisk in his arms and called out: "Mrs. Ning Hui."

Ye Yuxiao turned around: "Eunuch Wei."

Eunuch Wei walked to Ye Yuxiao and said "congratulations" first.

Eunuch Wei is half one of his own, so Ye Yuxiao didn't shy away from it and said with a wry smile: "It's not certain whether this marriage can happen, so please don't say congratulations too early, father-in-law."

Eunuch Wei knew what she was referring to and said: "Madam, I know you are anxious, but you must also be considerate of the emperor. As a human son, the emperor is under great pressure. As long as he nods and agrees to you slit the queen mother's throat, he will bear responsibility. .If the Queen Mother's throat is cut but the Queen Mother cannot be saved, others will say that he allowed you to cut the Queen Mother's throat, which led to the death of the Queen Mother. This is a great act of unfilial piety, and it may be written into the history books and become the emperor's life. stain."

It turns out that this is the case, Ye Yuxiao seems to have realized something. She thought about it for a while and said to Mr. Wei: "I want to see the Queen Mother again and check her throat." The emperor knew that she did not play by the rules and was worried that she would slit the Queen Mother's throat without permission, so he sent Du An He Tian Enhan stayed in front of the couch. She had no way to get close and had no choice but to turn to Eunuch Wei for help.

Eunuch Wei was very interested and immediately took her in and said to the emperor: "Mrs. Ning Hui is like a parent. If she is not allowed to check the Queen Mother, she will not feel at ease."

The emperor hesitated for a moment and said, "Let her go empty-handed."

Eunuch Wei looked at Ye Yuxiao, and Ye Yuxiao agreed. So she put down the medical kit, came to the Queen Mother's bed empty-handed, and bent down to examine her. The tumor in the Queen Mother's throat was so large that it was compressing the trachea. No auxiliary tools were needed for the examination. It could be felt directly with hands.

Dong Yi rushed into the inner room after hearing the news and asked Ye Yuxiao: "Madam, what are the results of your examination?"

Not really. Ye Yuxiao asked him: "The Queen Mother has a tumor in her throat. Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"

"I dare not mention it. This is the Queen Mother's special instruction." Dong Yi said, "The Queen Mother said that if you knew about this, you would definitely slit her throat with a knife in order to remove the tumor."

That's it...The Queen Mother knows her quite well. After Ye Yuxiao finished the examination, she asked Dong Yi: "Is the Queen Mother allergic to penicillin?"

Dong Yi shook his head: "I'm not allergic." There was a doctor in the Imperial Hospital who knew how to give injections, and Ye Yuxiao taught him that. The Queen Mother was ill once and they injected her with penicillin, so they knew this.

Not allergic to penicillin, that's great. Ye Yuxiao immediately went to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, if you agree to my concubine's incision on the Queen Mother's trachea and removal of her tumor, I will be at least 90% sure of curing her."

She had just diagnosed the Queen Mother's pulse, and based on the Queen Mother's physical condition in the past few years, she could deduce that the tumor was mostly benign. As long as it was removed, future troubles would be eliminated and health would be restored. The Queen Mother is not allergic to penicillin, so even if there is an infection after surgery, it can be controlled.

However, the emperor remained unmoved. Even if she was 90% sure, there was still 10% uncertainty. And he was not willing to bear even this 10% uncertainty.
