Chapter 464: The wound is difficult to get infected
Su Jixiang led the way and brought the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery into the clinic.
As soon as you enter the clinic, you will see a snow-white curtain hanging in the middle, dividing the clinic into two parts.
"The patient is being treated inside. Please wait here, madam." When Su Jixiang saw the curtain hanging, he did not allow the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery to go in again.
"Can't you take a look at the situation?" The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery did not rush in. She stood as she was told and looked inside. There was a curtain between them, so she could not see anything.
The curtain looked very thick, not even a person's shadow could be seen through it.
"When treating the wound, no dirt can get in. I'm not talking about you, Madam, but I can't go in either." Su Jixiang bowed and smiled, "They have to keep it dust-free. Wounds exposed to the outside are prone to infection by dirt. If we open this curtain, the wind outside will carry dust in, which will be bad for the people inside."
"Oh. I understand." After all, the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was a frequent visitor to Miaoshou Pavilion, so she nodded repeatedly.
Behind the curtain, the two imperial doctors have now become Zhou Ziqi's assistants.
Because they had previously discovered that their proficiency in treating this type of wound was far inferior to that of the owner of the Miaoshou Pavilion.
Originally, Zhou Ziqi was just helping to treat Qin Wanfang's wounds. Gradually, the imperial doctors discovered that he treated the wounds quickly and effectively. He even took out needle and thread to sew up the torn flesh, and the thread he used was a kind of silk thread they had never seen before.
After asking clearly, I found out that this silk thread is a kind of spider silk from southern Xinjiang. It is slightly toxic, but this toxicity will become an anesthetic after processing, and this spider silk can be slowly absorbed by the wound.
This kind of spider silk is very rare. The master of Miaoshou Pavilion asked the prince consort whether he was willing to use it. Only after getting the prince consort's approval did he take out this precious thing.
Just one small scroll costs one hundred taels of gold.
If you want to suture all the wounds on Qin Wanfang's body, it will probably take two and a half rolls of silk thread.
The hemostatic powder from Miaoshou Pavilion is better than that from the Imperial Hospital. Although the two imperial doctors understood it in their hearts, they did not say it. After all, if a folk clinic used things that were better than those from the Imperial Hospital, then these imperial doctors would probably be out of work!
Although they were envious, the two imperial doctors tacitly chose to keep silent.
Gradually, the person who treated Qin Wanfang became the head of the Miaoshou Pavilion. After all, Qin Wanfang's injuries were too severe. If they couldn't save her, the prince would probably blame them. If they did save her, the princess wouldn't let them go. So it was better to just pass the hot potato of Qin Wanfang to the head of the Miaoshou Pavilion.
The wound on the child's eye did not damage the brain. Although a lot of blood flowed after the hairpin was removed and the child cried for a long time, as long as the bleeding was stopped, the child's life could be saved. However, the child's eye was damaged.
After the two imperial doctors treated the child's wound, they pulled Chen Xinghe aside and asked, "Your Highness, would you like Master Miaoshou to help sew up the child's wound?"
They asked.
Chen Xinghe looked at the child's empty eye sockets with heartache, feeling a little lost.
"Let's ask the Pavilion Master for his advice." Chen Xinghe immediately looked at Zhou Ziqi, who was still trying to treat his wound. "May I ask the Pavilion Master, is there any other way to treat this child's eyes?"
"You two adults have handled it very well." Zhou Ziqi glanced at the child and continued with his work. "Just don't sew up this wound. He's still so young. If you sew it up, that part of his face will be deformed. Keep it as it is now. Once the wound heals, you can have someone make a glass prosthetic eye. After it's installed, it should look no different from an ordinary person. It'll be good for him, too."
Fake eyes? Glass ones?
The two doctors looked at each other in bewilderment. It was not like they had not dealt with this kind of eye injury before. Generally speaking, they would turn up the outer flesh to wrap the eye socket, and then put an eye patch to cover that half.
They had never heard of fake eyeballs!
Or is it made of glass?
Chen Xinghe immediately perked up a bit after hearing this. This was the only piece of news he had heard today that made him feel relieved among all the bad news.
"Really? If you really install that fake eyeball, will you be no different from an ordinary person?" Chen Xinghe asked.
"It's not completely different, but if you don't stare at it, there's basically no big difference." Zhou Ziqi said.
He had already made something like this in the North. Two years ago, he used glass eyeballs made by the Colorful Butterfly Workshop's Liuli Pavilion to provide prosthetic eyes for veterans injured on the battlefield. Initially, the prosthetic eyeballs weren't very realistic, but as everyone's skills improved, the quality of the glassware produced by the Liuli Pavilion improved, and the eyeballs became more and more realistic.
Therefore, the artificial eyes produced by Liuli Pavilion are now so realistic that they are indistinguishable from the real ones.
However, this kind of artificial eye needs to be customized, so it is very expensive.
"This kind of artificial eye requires a specialized craftsman, and that craftsman isn't in the capital, but in the Western Regions," Zhou Ziqi said deliberately. "So it takes a while. And as the child grows, the eyeballs will need to be replaced every few years. It's quite expensive."
"As long as this child can look like a normal person, I'm willing to pay any price!" Chen Xinghe now calls himself the king. He no longer wants to have anything to do with the princess.
"Okay, as long as the child survives the infection in the next few days and his life is safe, I will find someone to customize a prosthetic eye for His Majesty." Zhou Ziqi said.
"Thank you, Pavilion Master!" Chen Xinghe was overjoyed.
"Your Highness, don't be too happy too soon." Zhou Ziqi said as he sewed, "The child's injuries are quite serious. He needs to stay fever-free for a few days before his life can be saved." After hearing this, Chen Xinghe looked at the two imperial doctors, and both doctors nodded.
"Your Highness, wounds are easy to treat, but it is difficult to say what will happen if wind evil invades after the injury. Many seriously injured people do not die from their injuries, but from the fever." The two imperial doctors also bowed and said.
"Do you have any way to deal with it?" Chen Xinghe asked.
"We can only take it one step at a time. Maybe good luck will come to the young master." The two imperial doctors looked at each other and said.
How could they know if the child could survive? The child was still young and something could easily happen to him.
"Your Highness, let alone this child, even this lady will struggle to survive this cold." The two imperial physicians pointed at Qin Wanfang, who was still receiving treatment. "This lady's injuries are more severe, and I'm afraid it will be even more difficult..."
Chen Xinghe looked at Zhou Ziqi, who nodded and said, "You two adults are right. What I am most afraid of is that it will be difficult to get over the wind evil." In fact, he understood that it was an infection of the wound, but if the people from the Imperial Hospital said it was wind evil, then it was wind evil, and he didn't want to argue with them.
