Chapter 572 Corpse Note (1)
The Queen is ill, and it is said that she suffers from corpse injection.
Don’t know what corpse injection is? Have you ever heard of tuberculosis? It's the kind of tuberculosis that's extraordinary. It starts with coughing, and ends up coughing up blood. By the time you cough up blood, it's too late.
Tuberculosis is an incurable disease in Daxi. It cannot be cured and can only be managed. Moreover, one disadvantage of this disease is that it can pass people by.
Many medical books have annotations on tuberculosis, "Tuberculosis heat damages the lungs and breeds worms... lungworms are produced and become diseases in the lungs", "It can kill the worms, and even if the patient does not develop the disease, it can also prevent the spread of scabies to the ears". At this time, the medical explanation for tuberculosis was that worms in the lungs were contagious. There were cases where a person suffering from tuberculosis infected his whole family and even the whole family was wiped out.
Therefore, when a doctor diagnoses this disease, he usually isolates the patient. Of course, this disease is definitely not as ugly as smallpox or leprosy, so it is a slow-cycle disease, but it is also a disease that is extremely easy to pass on. After a sick person dies, he cannot be buried but can only be burned.
After the imperial doctor went to see him, he confirmed that it was tuberculosis, and Fengqi Palace was placed in confinement that day.
When the news reached Duke Jingguo's palace, everyone in the palace was stunned on the spot, not to mention the Queen's parents and the current Cheng Enbo family.
Mrs. Cheng Enbo wanted to go to the palace to see her daughter, but Cheng Enbo originally asked her to go. The car was already tied up and he pulled her back.
"What are you doing? I want to see my daughter!" Mrs. Cheng Enbo looked excited and waved away Cheng Enbo's hand.
"Think carefully first, don't be impulsive."
"What are you thinking, my daughter is sick, and I, a mother, can't go see her?"
"You went, of course you went, but after you went, you couldn't come back? Does that person who has been sick know that?! Is it possible that you want to involve all the whole family in this?!"
Mrs. Cheng En's eyes were split open, and she turned around and beat her husband, "As a father, you also despise your own daughter. Don't forget where you came from, Uncle Cheng En! Without your daughter, you are nothing... It's all your Xiao family, it's your Xiao family that has harmed others and forced my daughter to marry the fifth prince. If she had been married to my natal nephew, my daughter wouldn't have suffered so much..."
Uncle Cheng En resisted in a panic, but when he got tired, he waved her away with his hand.
"What about the Xiao family? You are not the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family? Your son and daughter are not named Xiao? It is still useful to say this now!"
Mrs. Cheng Enbo fell to the side, crying heartbroken.
"My poor daughter...my Qianqian..."
"It's hard for me as a father to have my daughter like this. Don't worry. I'll go back to my home and ask if there's anything I can do, or I'll find an imperial doctor to ask how I can go in and see someone without getting sick. That's all. Arrangements need to be made, as well as finding a doctor with good medical skills for my daughter..."
"Okay, okay, then go quickly." Mrs. Cheng Enbo wiped away her tears and said as if she had grasped a life-saving straw.
The Xiao family reacted very quickly. One day later, they found a doctor with quite good medical skills and asked Mrs. Cheng Enbo to take him into the palace.
This was unreasonable, but Mrs. Cheng Enbo cried so hard that she couldn't make a sound, looking like she was dying. Someone reported it, and Emperor Jing didn't say anything else.
The noble and majestic Fengqi Palace, which represents the majesty of motherhood in the world, looks a bit bleak in the September autumn wind. There is a group of guards standing at the entrance of the palace. The palace gate is closed, as if it is not the queen who lives there, but a queen. prisoner.
But at this time, Mrs. Cheng Enbo did not dare to complain. Knowing the harmful effects of tuberculosis, all she had left at this time was fear and the last bit of hope. Maybe her daughter was not sick, but the imperial doctor had misdiagnosed it, or someone had deliberately set it up. .
