Chapter 231

Zhang Chong is the cadre of the country, and the monarch Ning Yuanxian is very clear about this.

This person will be of great use in the future, so of course I don't want him to die.

"It was fine a few days ago, but why suddenly it's gone?" The king said angrily, "Did someone harm him?"

The eunuch Li Xun said, "No, he is suffering from a terminal illness, a severe intestinal carbuncle."

Suddenly the king's eyes narrowed slightly.

Carbuncle!

There is no cure in this world.

Whether it is chronic or acute, it is basically inevitable.

This disease is not very common, but it is not very rare, and people in the royal family have died of this disease.

Don't tell anyone else.

As far as Ning Yuanxian's first wife, Ning Han's mother, died of this disease.

That was the woman Ning Yuanxian loved the most.

In front of Concubine Bian, there is a bit of her temperament.

such a pity……

Just because of a verbal engagement with Jiang Li.

For the sake of the throne, for the sake of the country of Yue, he abolished the original queen and made the Zhu family the queen. As a result, the original wife was unhappy, locked herself in the cold palace, and died of intestinal carbuncle.

He could still remember at this moment how painful and desperate the woman was when she had a carbuncle.

After staying up for days and nights, he died.

At this time, Ning Yuanxian really regretted it.

I shouldn't be angry with a loyal minister like Zhang Chong, I should have released him a month or two earlier.

The disease of intestinal carbuncle is either caused by overeating or accumulation of anxiety and pain.

Zhang Chong's state of mind in the Dali Temple Prison for the past few months should be the same as that of his original wife at that time.

One is that after being abolished for no reason, he was imprisoned in the cold palace.

One is an obviously meritorious minister, but was imprisoned in Dali Temple and charged with embezzling the state treasury.

If he was released early, he would not have gotten this terminal illness.

"It is decreed to release Zhang Chong and return home, and send a royal doctor to treat him."

"Yes!"

The monarch clearly knew that it was ineffective to send an imperial physician to treat him, but he still sent it.

At least let Zhang Chong die in peace.

After Li Xun left, the monarch lay back on Concubine Bian's lap again.

"Yan'er, do you think the widow is particularly mean and unkind?" the king asked.

This question is too difficult to answer.

You are obviously lying when you say no.

If you say yes, the monarch will be unhappy again.

Concubine Bian reached out and stroked Ning Yuanxian's eyebrows, and said softly, "I would rather my husband be mean and unkind, so as not to wrong me."

Ning Yuanxian was emotional, hugged Concubine Bian's waist, and kissed her gently on her bulging belly.

God bless, give Yan'er a child.

……………………

Zhang Chong was carried home, and he had completely lost his shape.

Although he was not tortured in the Dali Temple Prison in the past few months, he was also fed up with cold violence.

The daily diet is terrible.

And his intestinal carbuncle happened a few days ago, but the head of the Dali Temple satirized that he was acting.

Want to see a doctor? All right, just give the money.

Except for the prison in Heishuitai, any prison in the world has a virtue.

No matter how big of an official you are, as long as you enter my prison, that is your grandson. No matter what you do, you will pay bribes.

Of course, if you were to be revived, these prisoners would not dare to torture you, and they would even come to burn a cold stove.

When Zhang Chong first entered the Dali Temple Prison, the inmates and the head of the prison came to compliment one after another, wanting to form a good relationship, which is also considered a help in the snow, right?

As a result, several months passed.

The monarch still ignores Zhang Chong, and there is no chance for him to turn around.

Then what are you polite about?

The guards and the head of the prison began to extort money.

How could Zhang Chong give it?

So, they were coldly abused by these villains.

The pain in the abdomen was severe for several days, and the pain was so severe that I fainted, and the high fever persisted.

After the doctor from Dali Temple came to check, he immediately judged that it was a bowel carbuncle.

"Wait to die!"

After all, Zhang Chong was the prefect of Tangtang before, and several people quickly reported his condition to Dali Siqing.

Dali Siqing also hesitated for a long time.

Should I wait for Zhang Chong to die before reporting to the monarch? But he still did not do that in the end, and after delaying for a few hours, he reported to the palace.

With such a delay, several days passed.

Zhang Chong was dying and his life was dying.

………………

Several imperial doctors took turns to diagnose and treat Zhang Chong.

"It's really a strong intestinal carbuncle, it's almost rotten."

"The fever is so severe that I have lost my mind, and I am constantly shivering and jaundice."

"It's dead."

Several imperial doctors jointly judged.

"Second son, prepare for the funeral."

The imperial doctor said towards Zhang Xun.

At this time, Zhang Xun, kneeling on the edge of the bed in a daze, seemed to have lost his response.

"Second Young Master, do you want us to prescribe some anesthesia powder so that after Ling Zun takes it, he can leave without pain?"

Zhang Xun shook his head and said, "No need, even if father wants to go, he must go soberly."

The imperial doctor sneered in his heart, Zhang Chong had a terrifyingly high fever at this time, and he was already unconscious.

"Second Young Master condolences." The doctor said.

Then, several imperial doctors left and returned to the palace to report.

In fact, they came to show the attitude of the monarch. Everyone knew that there was no cure for intestinal carbuncle, and they came for nothing.

After these imperial doctors left, Zhang Xun's tears slowly fell.

At this time, he was so numb in pain that he had begun to doubt everything.

At that time, his third brother Zhang Jin died, and he already felt the pain in his heart.

Now that his father Zhang Chong is going to die again, Zhang Xun's world is about to collapse.

Endless despair!

This clarity of despair had gradually begun a few months ago.

When Zhang Chong was just imprisoned, Zhang Xun still had great hopes, hoping that the monarch was just a passing breath.

But as time passed, he became less and less hopeful.

Father's weight in the king's mind may be too low.

And he is not willing to plead guilty and beg for mercy, how could the monarch compromise for him?

Now, he was finally desperate.

Father, is your life worth it?

Those mediocre and corrupt officials enjoy prosperity and wealth.

You worked so hard for the monarch, only to end up like this.

When the monarch wanted to implement the New Deal, which one of these officials was willing to make the first move, and which one was willing to offend others?

It's not that you came forward.

The result now?

People who do nothing but sit back and relax, but those who really do things encounter misfortune.

Is this kind of loyalty worth it?

But no matter how angry and desperate Zhang Xun was, it was useless.

Zhang Chong had already fallen into a complete coma.

The fever had reached a frightening temperature, and his body was yellow.

The thin body trembled constantly.

Zhang Xun couldn't do anything, he could only hold his father's skinny hand tightly and knelt on the edge of the bed motionless.

Just waiting for the last moment to come.

Waiting for the collapse of his world.

And his wife and two children were crying silently in the room.

His two children are still young, one is five years old and the other is three years old.

I don't even know what death is all about.

But I can feel desolation, despair, fear.

Zhang Chong is quite flamboyant in Nujiang County, after all, he is a senior official of the frontier.

But Zhang Xun was only a sixth-grade censor with a very low salary. There was only one old servant and two old mothers in the family.

At this time, the family looked at Zhang Chong who was dying.

Terribly bleak!

Because the monarch has not yet rehabilitated Zhang Chong, no official has come to the door yet.

Zhu Rong cared about Zhang Chong, but after all, he was the governor of Tiannan Province, and he was not in the capital most of the time.

So when Zhang Chong was dying, no one came to see him off.

Zhang Xun stopped crying, just held his father's hand and waited quietly.

Sister Zhang Chunhua was too late to rush back.

The elder brother was in the battlefield of Nanfuguo, and he couldn't come back to see him for the last time.

He was the only one who said goodbye to his father for the last ride.

At this moment, the old servant's voice sounded outside: "Second Young Master, Shen Lang and Prince Ning Zheng are visiting."

Zhang Xun was stunned, a little in disbelief.

When his father Zhang Chong was about to die, did he come to see him as his greatest enemy?

Then, he got up to wipe his tears, walked out, bowed and said, "I see the Fifth Highness, I have seen Brother Shen..."

Even under extreme grief, Zhang Xun's salute was still meticulous.

Shen Lang didn't come alone, he also brought Shen Shisan, Huang Feng and others, and carried a large box on his back.

"It's too late to explain." Shen Lang said, "Brother Zhang Xun, I just heard that Ling Zun has an intestinal carbuncle, so I came here for treatment."

Zhang Xun shuddered, looked at Shen Lang in shock and said, "Brother Shen, intestinal carbuncle is a terminal illness, can it be cured?"

Shen Lang nodded and said, "I'll take a look first."

In modern society, intestinal carbuncle is appendicitis.

Severe intestinal carbuncle is acute appendicitis, if not timely surgical treatment, causing various complications will be life-threatening.

This operation is not difficult to do, even the second-class hospitals in every county can do it.

But this is an easy operation, not a minor one.

Because of the abdominal incision, the inflamed appendix must be cut off. Once other complications and severe inflammation are triggered, related treatment is required.

And in this world, there are no antibiotics. This kind of surgery can kill just one infection.

After Shen Lang entered the room, he almost dared not recognize Zhang Chong once again.

He was already thin, and now he was almost skinny.

Originally, her hair was only a fraction of white, but now it is almost completely white.

Although Zhang Chong is a literati, his martial arts are still very high, and his waist is always straight.

And at this time, he was curled up into a ball, as if he was a lot shorter,

Shen Lang booed in his heart.

The king is really mean and unkind.

At that time, the death of Zhang Jin and the defeat of Raging Tide City did not even make Zhang Chong bend down.

However, the mere months of psychological torture made Zhang Chong curl up into a ball and turned into this appearance.

Then, he quickly checked Zhang Chong's abdomen with X-rays.

Of course it was acute appendicitis, which had swelled beyond recognition.

What's more serious is that all kinds of complications have already begun.

He reached out and touched Zhang Chong's forehead, it was very hot.

A high fever over forty degrees.

Generally speaking, acute appendicitis does not cause high fever unless it is caused by complications.

"Ling Zun has been delayed for several days. The evil officials in Dali Temple really deserve to be killed. They even concealed it for several days without reporting it. Now he is terminally ill." Shen Lang said.

Zhang Xun's tears that had already dried up rolled down again.

Shen Lang said: "Now I am completely unsure of how to cure Ling Zun, probably only 30%, or even less than 30%."

Zhang Xun was stunned.

There are three percent? At this time, even if there is a possibility of 10%, he is already grateful, let alone 30%?

If it were someone else, he would definitely not believe what Shen Lang said.

But Zhang Xun believed it.

Because this person used to be his father's biggest opponent, he seemed absurd and uninhibited, but in fact he never lied.

Everything he said has come true.

Immediately, Zhang Xun knelt down and kowtowed.

"Regardless of whether I can save my father or not, Brother Shen's great kindness will never be forgotten by Zhang Xun. If there is any dispatch in the future, I will never say anything. I will never frown when I go up the knife mountain and go down to the oil pan."

Shen Lang said: "Brother Zhang doesn't have to do this, I will definitely do my best!"

Then Shen Lang said: "Feng'er, boil the water."

"Thirteen, light candles, the more the better, and set up mirrors."

Shen Shisan, Huang Feng, and the other warriors of the Jin family all got into action and started to build a primitive operating table.

Instead of rubber gloves, a special kind of animal hide glove is used, which is very thin, transparent, and elastic.

Dozens of large candles were lit throughout the room, and then reflected through the mirror, illuminating Zhang Chong's abdomen.

On Huang Feng's side, he began to swiftly boil water and boil various medicinal materials.

The strong anesthesia is ready.

After cooling down a little, Shen Shisan directly poured the anesthetic powder into Zhang Chong's mouth.

After a while, Zhang Chong gradually calmed down.

Followed by a variety of anti-inflammatory Chinese medicine.

After everything is done.

Shen Lang picked up the sharp scalpel, made a light stroke, cut open Zhang Chong's abdomen, and started the operation.

This is the first real operation since he came to this world.

Previously, Qiu Yao'er didn't count, nor did Ning Yan's.

Being a doctor seems to be a lifetime thing, but in less than half a minute, he is incomparably skilled.

Because of the x-ray, he can directly identify the inflamed appendix.

Everything is so refined.

After all, he was a famous doctor in his last life, and he did not know how many times he had undergone operations such as appendicitis.

Such an operation is really easy for him, and it can even be done with his eyes closed.

Find the purulent, inflamed appendix and cut it out.

It is easy to remove this knife, the key is to check and treat for other complications.

Did it cause diffuse peritonitis, and was there any sepsis.

Once sepsis is caused, even Shen Lang can't save it.

Shen Lang's operation was carried out nervously and in an orderly manner.

Outside, Zhang Xun knelt down in front of his ancestor's tablet, where his wife, two children, and old servants all knelt.

There is even Zhang Jin's spirit card on it.

"Blessed by the ancestors and ancestors, I will definitely let my father get through this disaster."

"Third brother, you are in the spirit of heaven, you must bless your father."

"If I can make my father come back alive, I wish my lifespan would be 30 years shorter, no! I wish to replace it with my body!"

Time passed by minute by minute.

………………

King Ning Yuanxian still couldn't sleep, he was waiting for Zhang Chong to breathe.

The will has been drawn up, not only will he be rehabilitated, but he will also be pursued.

As soon as the news of Zhang Chong's breath came, the decree was sent immediately, and Zhang Xun was immediately promoted to one rank.

"Is there any official to visit Zhang Chong?" asked the monarch.

Li Xun said: "No."

The king sighed and said, "Is human nature so cold?"

Then, in silence, he picked up a book and started reading.

But under the irritability, I can't read anything.

In a moment!

The eunuch Li Xun said, "Your Majesty, Shen Lang went to visit Zhang Chong."

The king couldn't help but stunned, and then sighed!

Shen Lang is indeed a delicate person, and a delicate person with warmth.

………………

Almost an hour later!

Shen Lang sutured Zhang Chong's abdominal incision layer by layer.

Surgery is over!

He took off his gloves, washed his hands with warm water and walked out.

Zhang Xun, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly shivered and looked at Shen Lang.

Shen Lang said: "I have done my best, and then it's up to Ling Zun's own destiny."

It does.

The appendix was cut off.

But whether Zhang Chong can survive is completely unknown.

First of all, the first indicator is that he will wake up in a short time, and the high fever will subside.

Because now it is not the appendix that will kill him, but other concurrent inflammations.

Although Shen Lang had taken measures such as disinfection, such a large operation and such a large wound are likely to cause bacterial infection.

Everything is up to fate!

Shen Lang could only keep taking medicine.

Use all available antipyretic Chinese medicines and anti-inflammatory drugs.

After all, there are no antibiotics in this world.

………………

Inside Xu Qianqian's mansion!

The strong woman was almost paralyzed from exhaustion.

It's really not easy, the first season of spring silkworms is finally over.

Countless silkworm cocoons have also been put into storage.

The next step is to spin it into silk and then sell it.

The Xu family's workshop was burnt down by Shen Lang, but Lin Mo's workshop is still there, and the Lin family's people are already dead.

Therefore, the Lin family workshop is directly owned by the public.

With the help of the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion, Xu Qianqian bought the Lin family's workshop at a fair price.

Now she owes a lot of debt.

But it is a comeback after all.

As long as the silk is woven, there is no need to worry about selling it, and she does not need to sell the silk herself.

With the glass mirror, Tiandao will continue to fight back in the east-west trade, regaining one trade line after another.

Really cool under the big tree.

Exhausted, exhausted!

Xu Qianqian lay in the tub and almost fell asleep.

With a shudder, she woke up.

Because I had a dream just now, and I don't know if it was a sweet dream or a nightmare.

In the dream, Shen Lang once again molested her.

Of course...it's nothing.

The key is that after the indecent assault, there is still a tone of disgust.

Xu Qianqian, why do you smell fishy?

asshole!

douchebag!

Xu Qianqian was just once, because he didn't have time to take a bath because of escape, so Shen Lang said it smelled like dead fish.

Until now, this sentence has been circling in her mind, and it will become a nightmare.

So, she bathes every day whenever she has time.

Although no one hated her at all.

After bathing, she rubbed herself with a fragrant rose essence, then changed into comfortable silk pajamas.

Lie down in a soft bed.

Busy days are so fulfilling, yet so empty.

She wouldn't think about Shen Lang, and even if there was a thought about him in her mind, she would immediately transfer it.

What she missed was Qiu Yao'er.

If I didn't go home to revive the family business, but went overseas with Qiu Yao'er, what kind of life would it be?

It should be beautiful to explore the unknown and mysterious world.

I don't know what happened to Qiu Yao'er.

I don't know what happened to the baby in her belly.

When will I, Xu Qianqian, have a baby?

Maybe not in a lifetime.

Just like that, Xu Qianqian fell asleep in a daze.

I don't know how long it took.

She shivered again suddenly, and then suddenly opened her eyes.

This time it wasn't because of the dream of Shen Lang.

Rather, she sensed a mortal danger.

There was one more person in the room at this time.

It was a thin man with a mask on his face.

This mask is twisted and looks very weird.

Xu Qianqian had never seen him, but had definitely heard his name.

The thieves are happy.

There are two super robbers in Vietnam, the three-eyed evil in the west, and the miserable joy in the east.

Wu and Yue did not know how many masters were sent to fight Kutouhuan, but all of them went without a return.

Kutouhuan's martial arts is too high.

Although he has a small number of men, he is very elite and powerful.

And come and go without a trace.

The Three-eyed Evil has done all kinds of bad things, robbed countless caravans of the common people, and led thousands of horse thieves under his command.

Kutouhuan had only a few hundred people under his command, but there were dozens of tyrants, generals and officials who died in his hands.

So in terms of reputation, the two are pretty much the same.

The last time Tang and Su sent more than 200 experts to loot the Jin family's fiefdom, and Jin Mulan was besieged by dozens of experts from the Western Regions.

It was this bitter joy that appeared, and a few people killed hundreds of masters.

He alone repelled dozens of experts from the Western Regions. Killed two sons of the Tang family and more than a dozen experts from the Western Regions.

This guy is amazing!

"I have always only killed corrupt officials and bullies, but I broke my precept today because I have no choice!"

This top thief's voice was hoarse, as if he had been burned.

"I'm going to trade your head for something, sorry! I'll be quick, you won't be in pain."

The robber Kutouhuan pulled out the sharp blade and put it on Xu Qianqian's neck, and was about to cut it with one stroke.

Xu Qianqian didn't beg for mercy, she just stared at Ku Du Huan with her beautiful eyes.

"Ku Tou Huan, what do you want?"

"Maybe you don't have to cut off my head, you can trade my man for my man. What other people can give you, my man can give you."

………………

National Capital!

That night, Shen Lang slept in Zhang Xun's house.

If anything happened to Zhang Chong, he might as well rescue him as soon as possible.

And Zhang Xun didn't sleep all night.

He just knelt on the edge of the bed, prayed to the ancestors, and prayed to the gods and Buddhas all over the sky.

Early in the morning, a ray of sunlight slanted in and shone on Zhang Chong's thin face.

He seemed to have had a very dark and deep nightmare, and he couldn't wake up no matter what.

It seems to have exhausted all the strength and all the will in a lifetime.

He conquered the dark nightmare.

As if using a thousand jins of strength, he opened his eyes.

Zhang Xun felt his father's hand tremble and couldn't help but look up.

Then, ecstasy!

"Father, you are awake!"

………………

Note: The second update was sent. Because of insomnia last night and the idea of ​​the next plot, only more than 13,000 were updated. But I did my best, and I felt a little down in the past two days. I begged my brothers to help, and I begged.

Thank you Feng Hu for the reward of 40,000 coins, which cost you money.
