Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

"Biao'er, Xiongying is...sick. What's wrong with him?"

"Father, I don't know. I have already called the imperial physician."

An old man and a young man stood in front of the gate of Kunning Palace, looking worriedly in the direction of the palace gate.

Not long after, the imperial physician finally arrived, but was interrupted by Zhu Yuanzhang before he could even pay his respects.

"Today you are treating the Crown Prince. Tell me, what is wrong with him?"

The imperial physician was so frightened by Zhu Yuanzhang that he trembled all over and his voice was shaking.

"Your Majesty, when I took your pulse, your Highness had no obvious symptoms. He only complained of fatigue, a headache, and palpitations."

"I then prescribed a prescription to soothe the mind. At the second watch, the Empress summoned him urgently. I took the Crown Prince's pulse again and discovered he had a fever."

"Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince complained of back pain, and the symptoms matched. Your Highness, Your Highness..."

The imperial physician spoke haltingly for a long time but couldn't come up with an answer. Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he grabbed the imperial physician's collar.

"I was asking you what illness the Crown Prince had, but you spouted a bunch of nonsense. If you keep on talking, I'll chop you off!"

"If, if the Crown Prince has a rash these past two days, I'm afraid it's the dreaded disease, smallpox!"

In fact, it was not that the imperial physician wanted to be long-winded, but he simply did not dare to talk about the disease easily.

The reason is simple. In ancient times, smallpox was called an evil disease and an incurable evil disease.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, if a serious disease suddenly broke out in the palace, people would spread rumors saying it was a punishment from heaven.

But Zhu Yuanzhang had already put the knife to his neck, so the imperial physician had to say it no matter how much he dared not to.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was mentally prepared, his heart still ached when he heard the word smallpox.

He wished his eldest grandson had caught a cold.

Although colds can kill people, at least there is hope of treatment.

However, there is no cure for smallpox, and patients can only rely on themselves to gamble their lives. If they lose the bet, they will die!

“Smallpox! Smallpox! Why smallpox!?”

Zhu Yuanzhang muttered to himself in a daze, and then suddenly thought of something.

"Why did Xiongying contract smallpox? There has never been any serious illness in the palace. Where did this disease come from?"

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately looked at Zhu Biao and asked.

"Biao'er, has Xiongying left the palace recently?"

Zhu Biao also guessed what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking and immediately replied:

"No, I originally planned to take Xiongying out of the palace for inspections in the next two days, but I gave up after my father took me to meet Wei Wu."

"Wei Wu? Yes, Wei Wu, send someone to bring Wei Wu into the palace immediately!"

"Father, I have already sent someone."

While the old Zhu and his son were talking, Wei Wu had already been awakened.

The maids wanted to help him undress, but Wei Wu found it troublesome and came to the hall in his pajamas.

Looking at the eunuch in front of him with a white face and no beard who looked like a wandering ghost, Wei Wu held his forehead with some helplessness.

The eunuch's arrival meant something was happening in the palace, but the timing really gave him a headache.

Disturbing people's sleep in the middle of the night is simply unbearable!

At this time, Wei Wu was still a little dazed and couldn't help rubbing his eyes.

However, the eunuch's next words made Wei Wu completely sober.

"Master Wei, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has suddenly fallen ill with a fever and has fainted. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered this servant to come and invite Master Wei into the palace."

Is Zhu Xiongying sick? Fever? Fainting?

In modern terms, it is fainting caused by fever, which can be a serious or minor situation!

Could it be that the real cause of Zhu Xiongying's death in history was a cold?

Wei Wu is not a medical student and doesn't know much about this. It sounds like the symptoms of a cold.

Common viral colds do not necessarily cause high fever, but if it is a bacterial cold, the high fever will not go away.

From what he heard from the eunuch, Wei Wu just thought that Zhu Xiongying had a bacterial cold.

After all, there was no such subdivision in ancient times. Everything was called wind-cold, and it could be fatal.

Thinking of this, Wei Wu directly took out a box of amoxicillin from the system warehouse.

But when he looked at the medicine box in his hand, he was suddenly stunned.

"This stuff contains penicillin! Zhu Xiongying is seriously ill now, and I don't know how to test for allergies."
