Following this forthright laugh, Li Er, dressed in a bright yellow uniform, strode in with large strides.
Everyone was shocked and knelt down, "Your Majesty!"
Li Er waved his hand and laughed, "Rise, haha, Shu Bao, I heard from Qing Que that Li Zexuan is going to give you a blood transfusion this afternoon, so I came to take a look. Shu Bao, you won't mind me being an uninvited guest, right?"
Qin Qiong bowed, "I wouldn't dare!"
Qin Qiong was both gratified and happy that Li Er had personally come to see him. He had stayed out of the Xuanwu Gate incident last year because he did not want to participate in the tragedy of killing his brother and seizing the throne. It had nothing to do with his position. He had always been on Li Er's side.
But from the rewards of the officials after the incident at Xuan Wu Gate, everyone thought that Qin Qiong had lost the favor of the emperor and would no longer be valued. Usually, only Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda, these former battle brothers, were willing to come to the Qin Fu. Now that Li Er came out of the palace to see Qin Qiong, to a certain extent, it dispelled some of the rumors. Qin Qiong didn't care about these rumors, but he was still happy that Li Er came to see him personally.
"Haha, don't just stand there, continue. Don't delay Shu Bao's treatment because of me."
Li Er didn't rush everyone to do what they were supposed to do.
Li Zexuan looked and said to Qin Qiong, "Uncle Qin, since these men are willing to donate blood for you, why don't we start the blood test first? I said before that taking a small amount of blood is not harmful to the human body, but beneficial. I'm willing to use my life to guarantee this! "
Qin Qiong patted Li Zexuan's shoulder and said, "I believe you!" Then, he looked at the group of family generals in front of him and said loudly, "All of you, get up. This old man owes you a favor today!"
Zhuang Qi stood up and grinned, "Family Head, you're too serious!"
Li Zexuan had them stand in a row, but he didn't need so many people. He planned to let them leave once he found a suitable blood type.
He first used a porcelain bottle to take the blood of the ten people and put their names on the bottle. Then, he took it back and tested it with Qin Qiong's blood. After a while, the results came out.
"Uncle Qin, Zhuang Qi and Mei Wenhua have the same blood type as you. You can use their blood."
Li Er and the others watched from the side and clicked their tongues in wonder, but did not interrupt. In the courtyard, Zhuang Qi heard Li Zexuan's words and immediately grinned proudly.
"Haha, you're so uncultured. Don't fight with me this time. Lord Li, you can just use my blood. Your uncultured body is not as strong as mine!"
A lame veteran in the first row was immediately unhappy. He scolded, "Zhuang Laoqi, you're f * cking looking down on us veterans. If you're not convinced, come out and fight with me!"
Qin Qiong could not help but scold, "All of you, shut up. Don't be rude in front of His Majesty."
Immediately, the two of them quieted down.
Li Er waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care. He had been in the army for a long time and was already used to such fights.
Li Zexuan and Sun Simiao looked at each other and stepped forward. "Uncle Qin, just use Zhuang Qi's blood. You can ask the others to leave."
Mei Wenhua was indeed a little old. His own blood production ability was not enough. If he gave Qin Qiong blood, he would probably be finished.
Qin Qiong nodded and shouted, "Zhuang Qi, step forward. The rest of you can leave."
"Master!"
Mei Wenhua still wanted to fight for it, but he was glared at by Qin Qiong.
…
Everyone came to a bedroom. Sun Simiao went forward to check Zhuang Qi's pulse to see if he was healthy and if he had any medical history. This was what Li Zexuan had told him when he came. He could not let Qin Qiong get infected after the blood transfusion and have other diseases.
Zhuang Qi obediently allowed himself to be checked. His expression did not reveal any impatience. After a while, Sun Simiao nodded at Li Zexuan.
Li Zexuan ordered Zhuang Qi to lie on the bed. He also asked someone to bring a cushion for Qin Qiong to lie on the ground. This strange arrangement shocked Zhuang Qi. He quickly stood up and said that he wanted to lie on the ground and let Qin Qiong lie on the bed.
Li Zexuan slapped him. If they really lay down like that, who would be the one to transfuse blood in the end?
After the two of them were in position, Li Zexuan asked them to roll up their sleeves. He picked up the "cotton swab", which was actually a ball of steamed coarse cloth tied to the front of a thin stick. In this era, cotton was still a rare ornamental flower. It was not popularized as a crop. Li Zexuan could not find cotton in a short time, so he could only do this.
He dipped the "cotton swab" in alcohol and smeared it on the two people's arms. Suddenly, an unusually strong smell of alcohol filled the air. Cheng Yaojin sniffed hard. He was so greedy that his saliva almost flowed out. He thought to himself, "This kid is not honest. He has such a good thing and yet he is still hiding it."
Although Li Zexuan liked to drink, he was more concerned about the purpose of Li Zexuan's action. He thought for a long time but still could not figure it out. He could not help but frown deeply.
Sun Simiao did not have any scruples. He directly asked, "Xiaoxuan, what do you mean by smearing alcohol on their arms?"
As Li Zexuan busied himself, he replied, "It's disinfecting. There are some small bugs on the surface of a person's skin that can't be seen with the naked eye. This strong liquor can kill them. In fact, when someone was injured in the army, their wound would become infected because of these small bugs in the air."
Although Sun Simiao did not know what air was, he understood the general meaning. He nodded thoughtfully.
Li Jing's eyes lit up. He could not help but ask, "If this kind of alcohol is used in the military, can it greatly reduce the death of injured soldiers?"
Li Zexuan nodded and said, "In theory, it can."
Li Jing looked at Li Er excitedly. Li Er nodded at him, indicating that they should finish treating Qin Qiong's illness first.
After disinfecting, Li Zexuan found the blood vessels on Zhuang Qi's arm. Looking at the thick needle, he gritted his teeth and stabbed it in. Zhuang Qi's body trembled, but he did not cry out in pain. Li Zexuan waited for the air in the needle to be exhausted. Then, he inserted the other end of the needle into Qin Qiong's arm. Because of the difference in height, the blood slowly flowed through the needle into Qin Qiong's body.
Everyone in the room held their breaths and stared at the blood flowing through the needle. They were witnessing the first case of blood transfusion in human history.
Gradually, Qin Qiong fell asleep with a satisfied expression. Li Zexuan stared at the hourglass on the table. After a while, he nodded at Sun Simiao. The two went forward to remove the needles from Qin Qiong's arm and used cotton swabs dipped in alcohol to press on the wound. Then, Li Zexuan stood up and started to pack up the tools.
Of course, Mrs. Qin went forward to press on the wound on Qin Qiong's arm. As for Zhuang Qi, he acted as if nothing had happened. After pressing for a while, he threw away the cotton swabs. Instead, he sniffed his arm for a while and muttered, "Good wine!"
A few old soldiers in the room gently carried Qin Qiong to the bed. They saw that his breathing was even and he was sleeping soundly. He was not awakened by the commotion outside. Mrs. Qin stood to the side, happily wiping away her tears. Sun Simiao went forward to check Qin Qiong's pulse again. After a while, he smiled and nodded at Mrs. Qin.
This was clearly not the place to talk. After Mrs. Qin reacted, she apologetically called Li Er and the others to the front hall for tea. Li Zexuan wanted to leave after packing up, but Yuchi Jingde picked him up like an eagle grabbing a little chick and brought him to the front hall.
