Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

The Grand Princess's residence strengthened its guards, but was unable to catch Xiao Yunxi, the instigator. She returned to the Xiao residence and asked Zhang Zhongjin to treat her injuries.

Zhang Zhongjin knew at a glance that the wound was caused by an arrow or crossbow.

The imperial court allowed civilians to possess bows and arrows, but not crossbows. Xiao Yunxi's injury could not be seen in public, so Zhang Zhongjin handled it silently.

Coming from the northwest, they had experienced life and death together. Xiao Yunxi trusted him, otherwise she would not have let him treat the injuries. He would not let this trust down.

"Princess, your injury has hit your bones. Remember not to get wet recently. I'll come over in a couple of days to change your dressing...and my uncle wants to see you."

Zhang Zhongjin's uncle is Imperial Physician Jiang.

Xiao Yunxi had met him in the palace, but they didn't know each other at that time. Yesterday, Zhang Zhongjin met his uncle, and Imperial Physician Jiang realized that the female doctor mentioned in his senior brother's letter was the Crown Prince's Consort. He couldn't wait to meet her and learn medical skills.

"You can come anytime, you can come too. I have a compiled medical manual here."

There are many scientific books in the space, but no medical books. Xiao Yunxi herself is a mediocre person and only knows some medical skills for battlefield emergencies.

Even so,

The battlefield first aid science integrated with modern medicine can still have a profound impact on Daxia medicine, so Xiao Yunxi will write it when she is free.

The manual will be finished in two days. I had originally planned to ask Zhang Zhongjin to come, and now there is another imperial physician, Jiang.

Xiao Yunxi didn't expect that Imperial Physician Jiang was impatient and came to visit the next day.

Imperial Physician Jiang is a remarkable man.

He was abandoned as soon as he was born and was picked up by Doctor Lu. Doctor Lu's master's wife had no children, so the master and his wife adopted him as their adopted son.

Imperial Physician Jiang showed amazing medical talent since childhood. He laid a solid foundation before the age of 8, traveled around the world with his master, and treated patients independently at the age of 14. He was known as the little miracle doctor.

At the age of 19, he met the daughter of the Marquis of Huaiyang and married her. They lived in harmony after their marriage. When their child was one month old, the Marquis's mansion held a banquet.

The old lady of the Duke of Han's Mansion felt that he was a bit similar to the Duke of Han when he was young, so she asked a few questions and found out that he was the lost prince of the Duke's Mansion.

If it were placed in an online novel, he would definitely be the male protagonist. However, Imperial Physician Jiang is obsessed with medicine and has no interest in the title of nobility. He voluntarily gave up the title of Duke and worked in the Imperial Hospital.

His medical skills far surpass those of Doctor Lu, and he is very intelligent. When Xiao Yunxi talked about surgery, he actually already had a relatively deep understanding of it.

"When I traveled with my master, I encountered many incurable diseases. Surgery saved a few, but most were lost. Some suffered from persistent high fevers, blood loss, or death from pain. Others were caused by our lack of understanding of the human body's structure, resulting in damage..."

Whenever he thought about some diseases that could be cured through surgery but could not be achieved due to various reasons, Imperial Physician Jiang would become depressed.

So when his senior brother wrote back and told him that Xiao Yunxi had performed surgery on Hu Zi's mother, and mentioned disinfection and bacteria, he felt like he was being scratched by a cat, and he wanted to fly to the northwest.

"The high fever, blood loss, and pain you mentioned are common problems encountered during surgery. The high fever is caused by infection and wound inflammation, which can be solved by sterilizing the operating room and administering anti-inflammatory drugs. As for blood loss, blood transfusions can be performed during surgery to replenish the body's blood. The pain is caused by the ineffectiveness of Ma Fei San, and a stronger anesthetic is needed."

Imperial Physician Jiang understood the issues regarding anti-inflammatory drugs and Ma Fei San, but he had never heard of blood transfusion. Xiao Yunxi gave him a simple explanation, and Zhang Zhongjin was stunned.

Take blood out of one person's body and transfer it to another person's body?

Imperial Physician Jiang seemed to be thinking about something.

"Master once said that people can have blood transfusions. We have tried it before, but the human body has a tendency to reject blood..."

"That's because of the blood type problem. Some people have different blood types and will be rejected."

Imperial Physician Jiang had many doubts, but after communicating with Xiao Yunxi, it was like the clouds were cleared and the sun appeared, and everything became clear in an instant.

He stood up and bowed deeply to Xiao Yunxi.

"Thank you, Princess, for your teachings..."

Xiao Yunxi quickly stood up. This man could be his grandfather, but he didn't dare to accept his gift.

"Bone setting and surgery are actually also traditional Chinese medicine skills, and learning these skills requires a thorough understanding of the human body. I do have a suggestion that may be helpful for the advancement of traditional Chinese medicine."

Imperial Physician Jiang bowed:

"Please enlighten me, Princess."

Xiao Yunxi's method is actually a bit cruel, but it is a necessary step in medical research.

The imperial court has death row prisoners every year. It would be a pity to kill them directly because they can contribute to medicine and help doctors understand the organ structure of the human body.

Why did Chinese medicine surgery decline? It’s not because the methods of Chinese medicine are not good, but because there is no way to pass on the tradition.

Surgery requires an understanding of the human body structure and practice. Many doctors will never encounter so many surgical cases in their entire lives.

Without patients to practice with, skills won’t be passed down over time.

Many doctors travel around the world, not to seek hardship, but for self-cultivation. Only by seeing more cases can they improve their medical skills.

If Xiao Yunxi suggested to others that they use death row prisoners for vivisection experiments, she would be regarded as a madman and a pervert.

Imperial Physician Jiang doesn't know how to do this.

What he thought of was using death row prisoners for experiments, combined with what Xiao Yunxi said, sterilization, blood transfusion, anesthesia, perhaps the survival rate of patients undergoing surgery would be higher, and more people could be saved.

"Princess, I will go to the palace immediately to see His Majesty."

Imperial Physician Jiang acted decisively and wanted to go to the Ministry of Justice to retrieve the death row prisoner immediately. He hurried to the palace, but was turned away.

The emperor was now obsessed with testing Xiao Yunxi and had no mood to see him at all. He waited for several days.

Xiao Yunxi stayed in the house because of her injury and did not go out, so she had no chance to take action.

Rushing into the Xiao Mansion?

Let's not talk about whether it is possible or not. Even if we rush in, Xiao Yunxi has been prepared, so it will not achieve the effect of testing. Just like this, the days passed by.

The emperor didn't even attend the morning court, and his mind was on testing Xiao Yunxi. Sometimes he couldn't sleep well, thinking of Xiao Yunxi's ability to do things secretly.

He couldn't sleep or eat.

There were more and more things piling up in the court, and the ministers in the court even wondered if the emperor was in poor health. This made the princes restless, and they wanted to see the emperor and show their filial piety whenever they had nothing to do, which annoyed the emperor.

That day, Prince Qing sent a message, expressing his willingness to take the lead in withdrawing the feudal lords.

If Xiao Yunxi's mysterious method is a sword hanging over the emperor's head, then the vassal king is the biggest threat to the court and must be eliminated.

The emperor was eager to abolish the feudal system, and Prince Qing agreed to cooperate. He had to go to court to see what the attitudes of these princes were.
