Anti-Qing: Starting from the Jintian Uprising

Chapter 402 Penicillin

Even with the medical conditions that Luo Dagang can enjoy now, it is difficult to cure and he can only prolong his life as much as possible.

Li Yi thought for a while, frowned and asked.

"How is the research on penicillin extraction going at the Medical Research Institute?"

As early as in Guangdong, Li Yi established a medical research institute dedicated to researching various medical products.

Penicillin is one of them.

As far as Li Yi knows, the research institute should have achieved some results by now.

Although penicillin cannot cure all diseases, it still has quite outstanding effects on diseases such as pneumonia and respiratory infections.

After hearing this, Zhang Zhidong thought for a while and then spoke.

"In reply to your Majesty, according to the report from the research institute."

"The research on the penicillin project has indeed produced results now."

"However, the penicillin they extracted had too many impurities. During the experiment, the Eight Banners medicine practitioners who used the medicine had several allergic reactions."

"Under these circumstances, if immature penicillin is rashly used for medical treatment, the consequences could be disastrous."

Hearing this, Li Yi pondered for a moment, then opened the drawer next to him, took out a wooden box, and said.

"This is a copy of the purified penicillin and the purification plan for penicillin."

"Go and have someone deliver the penicillin to the Royal Hospital and give it to Duke Xin as soon as possible."

"When the results of the medication come out, let me know."

"As for the purification plan, it was sent to the research institute, and they were ordered to solve the problem of penicillin purification and mass production as soon as possible."

Li Yi is not planning to go to the hospital to see Luo Dagang for the time being.

On the one hand, it's because he has too much work on hand and has no time.

Secondly, it was because he was the emperor.

The emperor condescended to personally visit an old minister who was seriously ill, which was undoubtedly urging him to die.

In order to avoid misunderstandings from Luo Dagang, Li Yi is not planning to visit Luo Dagang for the time being.

Well, let’s wait until the medication results come out.

If this penicillin is effective, I will come to the Old Summer Palace to express my gratitude when Luo Dagang recovers.

If penicillin doesn't work, it won't be too late for Li Yi to see Luo Dagang for the last time.

As for the origin of penicillin and the purification plan, they naturally came from Li Yi's system.

Li Yi was afraid of death, so over the years, he had purchased a lot of medicines from the system and stored them on hand.

It was not used before because Luo Dagang's condition did not worsen.

And Li Yi is waiting for the results from the research institute.

But things are different now. Seeing that Luo Dagang’s condition is becoming more and more critical, I’m afraid he won’t be able to wait for the research institute to produce results.

In this case, Li Yi would not be stingy with the penicillin.

Li Yi still values his cheap father-in-law Luo Dagang very much.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhidong immediately nodded to show that he understood.

Zhang Zhidong had long been accustomed to the magical powers that Li Yi occasionally displayed.

Since following Li Yi, he has run errands for Li Yi more than once to deliver drawings and physical objects to various research institutes.

In Zhang Zhidong's view, these inexplicable things and profound and complex knowledge could only be given by heaven.

And this is exactly the manifestation of Li Yi being favored by heaven and destined to be with God.

Because of these, Zhang Zhidong is now extremely grateful that he had persuaded his father to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

Otherwise, he didn't think anyone who went against fate would have a good ending.

……

Zhang Zhidong took his leave and Li Yi continued to handle official business.

At this moment, a palace maid came to Li Yi and began to report.

"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine's maid is outside asking to see you, saying that she has something important to report to your Majesty."

Upon hearing this, Li Yi raised his eyebrows, somewhat curious about what had happened to Fu Shanxiang, and spoke immediately.

"Well, let someone in!"

After Li Yi finished speaking, the palace maid bowed and left. Not long after, she brought in a female official.

After seeing Li Yi, the female official first bowed and then said with a happy look on her face.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. The Imperial Concubine is pregnant!"

Li Yi was stunned when he heard this, but then he felt a surge of joy in his heart.

Although he already had a son, Li Zai, Li Yi was still filled with joy when Fu Shanxiang also became pregnant.

"Hahaha!"

"Great! That's great! I'm going to be a father again!"

"Hahaha!"

Li Yi laughed heartily, and then continued to ask.

"Tell me in detail, what exactly is going on?"

Upon hearing this, the female official spoke without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine suddenly felt unwell this morning, so she sent for the Imperial Physician to see her."

"The diagnosis showed a happy pulse!"

"Then, the Imperial Concubine immediately sent this servant to announce the good news to His Majesty!"

The smile on Li Yi's face became more and more obvious. He immediately put down the government affairs he was handling, stood up from his seat, and walked out of Jiuzhou Qingyan.

He led his men to the Bitong Academy where Fu Shanxiang lived.

Fu Shanxiang liked reading, so she chose such a place as her residence.

Well, like Jiuzhou Qingyan, Bitong Academy is also one of the forty scenes of the Old Summer Palace.

Luo Caiyu now lives in Xinghuachun Pavilion.

Soon, Li Yi arrived at Bitong Academy. From afar, he heard laughter coming from inside the Academy.

The palace maids and eunuchs on both sides of the road saluted Li Yi one after another.

Li Yi walked over and entered the Bitong Academy.

Soon, he met Fu Shanxiang.

At this time, Fu Shanxiang was touching her belly with a kind look on her face.

Beside her, Empress Dowager Zhao and Queen Luo Caiyu were sharing parenting tips with Fu Shanxiang.

Several people had smiles on their faces.

Perhaps because Li Yi was appointed crown prince early on, there was no struggle for the throne in the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, the conflict between Luo Caiyu and Fu Shanxiang was not intensified. Although they were somewhat jealous of each other in front of Li Yi, that was all.

At the very least, superficial harmony and goodwill can be maintained.

Seeing Li Yi walk in, Fu Shanxiang and Luo Caiyu stood up and saluted Li Yi together.

"I have met your Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yi walked forward with a smile on his face, helped the two of them up, and spoke.

"Haha, no need to be polite, please stop being polite!"

"Shanxiong is pregnant. This is really good news!"

Fu Shanxiang nodded vigorously, rubbed her slightly red eyes, and spoke with a voice that sounded a little tearful with joy.

"Well, I am also very happy."

"I have been with Your Majesty for such a long time, and now I am finally pregnant and can bear children for Your Majesty."

"I, I am so happy!"

Li Yi hugged Fu Shanxiang tightly with a smile on her face.

"Since you are pregnant, take good care of the baby. I am still waiting to hold another child!"
