Lady of the Lord From the East - Chapter 176
Wei Wei actually knows very little about the Crown Prince Edward. Although they have met a few times before, there is almost no formal contact, and because of his health, the Crown Prince does not participate in public activities very much, so about him Information, Wei Wei knew very one-sidedly.
At present, she knows that this crown prince is about to turn 19 this year. He is a thin and slender child who will get sick if he is not careful, but he is very smart.
The young crown prince has the unique red hair and green eyes of the royal family, and his appearance is seven or eight points similar to Prince Andrew, but the remaining two or three points are different, which makes them feel extraordinarily different.
If the slightly fat Prince Andrew makes people think that he is an ordinary and honest, and maybe even a little unsmart and honest man, then the tall and thin Crown Prince Edward is a handsome and intelligent, melancholy boy who makes people feel pity.
Sick, pale, and elegant, he was just what everyone thought of a noble young master.
Of course, he is not only really a noble young master, he is also a prince.
Generally speaking, people who are always sick, especially those who are born high, are always prone to have a bad temper, but Prince Edward is not, as famous as his poor health, is his good temper.
Unlike Adonis, who pretends to be polite, he is really gentle and polite to everyone. Everyone knows that this prince hardly loses his temper, even in the face of the successor who indirectly killed his mother. After Mirabelle, apart from his cold expression and not wanting to talk to her, he has never spoken ill of her, but Wei Wei has vaguely heard that Prince Andrew, who seems to have a good temper, was just married to Queen Mirabelle. When she entered the royal family, she once scolded her in front of her face, and Mirabelle, who was very favored at the time, also complained to the king for this, but the king himself was probably guilty, except to appease the new queen, he did not blame Andrew. Prince.
Facing a woman who could be said to be an enemy, Prince Andrew didn’t do anything drastic apart from ignoring it. Now, when facing Wei Wei, his attitude is even more peaceful, even because he knew that Wei Wei saved his father. Thank him.
That is, probably because of the relationship of seniority, Wei Wei felt that Crown Prince Edward looked at her with an inexplicable kindness and kindness when looking at the younger generation. When matched with his youthful face that had not fully grown, it looked very strange. Wei’s goosebumps are about to get up.
Fortunately, she probably saw that she was not comfortable, and Prince Edward quickly restrained this kind of gaze.
Because they were not familiar with each other, and the king’s illness could not be mentioned casually, they didn’t chat for too long, but after a few simple greetings, Wei Wei signaled Crown Prince Edward to stretch out his hand.
Prince Edward rolled up his sleeves and put his wrist on the small pillow used for pulse diagnosis. Looking at it like this, his hand became even more slender, with almost no flesh, like a thin layer of skin sticking to the bone.
Wei Wei checked the pulse, and her face slowly became solemn.
When he heard from the king that he suspected that the crown prince might also have been poisoned, Wei Wei was actually a little disapproving, because before the crown prince came over, she also asked the general manager to understand the crown prince’s condition, and she observed in the past few meetings. Yes, it is determined that the crown prince himself has some respiratory diseases, and there may be some problems with heart and lung function, and these have also been confirmed by the imperial doctor, so Crown Prince Edward was only required to control his emotions since he was a child. It is also the main reason for his good temper.
And Crown Prince Edward’s body did improve under the nurse’s care when he was a child. It was almost controlled, and he became only slightly weaker than normal people. But when he was almost nine years old, he was in bed all year round The Queen died suddenly, and soon after, the heartbroken Prince Edward suddenly relapsed into what he is today.
Originally, Prince Edward was a person who could not have too many emotional ups and downs. It is not surprising that he would fall ill and get sicker because of the death of his sad mother.
So at that time, when the king said that, Wei Wei was actually thinking, the reason why the crown prince has become what he is now, does he have no points? The sudden death of the former queen, in the final analysis, is also because he promised Mirabe After being known by the former queen, the latter’s condition suddenly deteriorated. Otherwise, it is said that with her condition at the time, if she recuperates well, she can still live two more years.
And although Mirabelle was wrong, the king had several mistresses before her, and their presence did not aggravate the queen’s condition, so in the final analysis, if the king hadn’t said the wrong thing , the former queen is unlikely to die early.
This is why Wei Wei also suspected that the two princes might be suspects of poisoning the king, because they are likely to hold grudges against the king because of their mother.
Of course, as she and Felix had discussed, the two princes, as long as they weren’t stupid, wouldn’t hold them back while the king was trying to deal with Duke Romanov to help them out of the competition.
So she still felt that Queen Mirabelle was the most suspicious.
The topic is too far away, let’s continue to talk about the situation of the crown prince.
Wei Wei originally thought that the crown prince was overwhelmed by the death of the former queen and caused the relapse of the old disease. After all, if it was poisoned, it would have been almost eight or nine years ago. If it was instructed by Duke Romanov, why? It is impossible for the crown prince to live until now, right?
As a result, once the pulse was diagnosed, Wei Wei found that there seemed to be something really wrong.
Wei Wei’s medical skills are given by the system and come from games. She can definitely be regarded as a genius doctor. With her fingertips on her wrist, she can feel even the faintest pulse.
Just like now, she can see that Prince Edward’s heart has some congenital lesions, but the condition is very mild, and it seems that he has been properly treated in the early years, and has been paying attention since then, so it has been maintained like this, but it is not too much. If tired, he has little to worry about in this regard.
In more serious cases, the crown prince has asthma, which may be due to genetics, respiratory diseases or allergies. After Wei Wei asked the crown prince, the latter said that he was prone to illness when the seasons changed. , but staying indoors will reduce the number of illnesses, so most of the time he chooses not to go out, which is why he rarely participates in public activities.
“Then before you fell ill, did you happen to be in contact with flowers, plants and trees?”
Prince Edward recalled: “It’s true, Dr. Bertell once warned me not to touch those flowering plants too much.” Bertell is the surname of the imperial doctor.
“He’s right, you have allergic asthma, so exposure to dust like pollen grass powder can make you susceptible to disease, so you need to pay special attention to this.”
Prince Edward was puzzled: “But sometimes I have no contact with those things, and I will have mild symptoms, such as coughing and shortness of breath when I move.”
“Then, apart from pollen, you should have other allergens.” Wei Wei made a note of this.
In addition to asthma, a disease that can be fatal if one neglect The faults are mixed together, just like the outside world, it is very likely that he will not live to be thirty years old.
No, or it is a problem that King Edward can’t live to twenty-five years old. After all, everyone thought he could only live to twenty-five years old. Now he is almost nineteen years old. It is the result of the efforts of the imperial physicians, but with the current medical level, he will only be called for a few more years at most.
Don’t look at the fact that the crown prince still has the strength to accept official business from abroad, but he is a person who can’t work hard. Half a month’s work has already caused the crown prince to have symptoms of illness. If it lasts a little longer, he is estimated to be with the king. Lying down the same way, and if the crown prince is now ill, no one knows if he will survive.
But these are not the reasons for the discoloration.
The reason why she looked solemn was to see that Prince Edward had indeed been poisoned. Although it should have been only once, this poison had indeed destroyed the balance in Prince Edward’s body, aggravated his condition, and made the imperial doctor and others The painstaking care of the doctor before was in vain.
Wei Wei guessed that the relapse of the crown prince’s old illness at the beginning should really be due to the death of the former queen, but at that time, even with treatment, the crown prince’s condition could still be controlled at a stable level, rather than the current situation, where the condition deteriorated and was almost weak. Back to the days.
And this poison, or rather medicine, is the same as in the king.
If Wei Wei hadn’t seen the king first, figured out the existence of this secret medicine and the symptoms it caused when it was in the human body, and because of the king’s entrustment, she was more careful when taking the pulse of Prince Edward, she would not have been able to take such a bad pulse. Inside, I found a slight strangeness hidden in it. After all, it was the medicine that was prescribed so many years ago.
——So, if the king’s illness was really caused by Queen Mirabelle’s poisoning, is it because of her that the crown prince became what he is now?
Although she found out a big secret today, Wei Wei didn’t show any strangeness. She quickly loosened her brows and showed a soothing smile to Prince Edward, who had been staring at her: “Your condition is a bit complicated. , but it is still within the controllable range, so in the next period of time, please cooperate with my treatment, Your Highness.”
Prince Edward nodded with a normal expression: “Okay.”
I don’t know how many doctors he has seen since he was a child. Almost every doctor will tell him this, but he knows it well, it’s just words to comfort him.
So Prince Edward didn’t think too much about Wei Wei’s words, he only thought that she also wanted to comfort him.
However, Prince Edward also knew very well what was going on with his body. Although he hated taking medicine, he knew better that he was not qualified to be that wayward.
Anyway, it’s just switching from one medicine to another, and it doesn’t make much difference.
If he knew what kind of soup the king was enjoying at this time, he probably wouldn’t be so indifferent.
Wei Wei then told him a lot of things, and even took a pen and paper to write down various precautions. In addition to not touching plants that are prone to allergies, the residence of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should also be kept clean and dry, and the air is clear. All things, especially close-fitting clothes, bedding, etc., should be cleaned regularly and disinfected in the sun. After all, mites are also a major cause of asthma.
In addition, Wei Wei also clearly wrote the food he could eat and the food he couldn’t eat.
“It’s best to add moderate exercise, such as walking and jogging, but avoid strenuous exercise.”
Wei Wei wrote while talking, and quickly wrote several notes.
Finally, she also told Crown Prince Edward that he can wear a mask if he wants to go out for a walk. As for what the mask is, she will ask the maid to send it to him after it is done.
When Prince Edward held the stack of papers, his eyes became a little numb. Although he knew that his condition was complicated and there were many things to pay attention to, he never thought there would be so many.
Take food as an example, although Crown Prince Edward has always been required to have a light diet, the doctor only knows how to limit the cooking methods of chefs, but he does not pay too much attention to the choice of ingredients. After all, their research on this aspect is still very low. In fact, there is not much concept of what kind of patients can’t eat and which can’t eat.
Therefore, Prince Edward’s food, apart from the use of less seasonings and more stewed cooking methods, there are not many things he needs to avoid.
But in the list that Wei Wei can not eat, the first thing is to exclude the mutton they usually eat, and then chicken, fish, eggs, seafood, leeks, peaches and other vegetables and fruits, as well as all dairy products are excluded. It was eliminated, and even to the end, Wei Wei, who didn’t know much about noble hunting recipes, directly told him that things like otters, swans, and camels were best not to touch.
After a long while, Crown Prince Edward came back to his senses, he looked at the “blacklist” full of food in his hand, and felt that he could still be rescued: “But I didn’t have any problems eating these before, and you are forbidden. Is it too much?”
After reading all the food, he didn’t even know what else he could eat.
Wei Wei comforted him and said: “Don’t worry, this list is for the kitchen to let them pay attention, and it doesn’t mean that you really can’t eat the food on it, but we need to rule out your allergens, so from now on, everyone in this You need to isolate one or more of the items on the list every two weeks, and after you are sure they are not allergens, you can eat them, of course, it is best not to eat too much.”
In fact, she hasn’t written it all, at least she didn’t write about soybeans and peanuts, because these have not been promoted yet, but just in case there are any gaps. She wrote about beans—the only ones to try now are kidney beans and chickpeas.
Wei Wei also knew that Prince Edward’s allergens should not be so many, otherwise he would not be alive now, but without the aid of equipment, she can only choose to manually check the allergens, this process will last a long time, but It took time to figure out what he was allergic to besides pollen.
In fact, if it wasn’t for the fact that she was not suitable to come forward, Wei Wei didn’t want to write so many words to scare His Royal Highness. He went directly to the general manager and the chef to explain that it would be fine not to prepare any food for the crown prince, although the crown prince himself felt that other than these things It seems that there is nothing to eat, but in fact there is, but he is a crown prince, I don’t know.
In the end, although Prince Edward was reluctant, he was persuaded by Wei Wei to leave with the stack of papers.
Wei Wei thought about it for a while, and asked for a few food lists from him. She smiled and said, “I’ll just hand it over to the manager and ask him to arrange it.”
Prince Edward: ! ! !
She probably knew that she planned to make a new list when she went back, and then crossed out some of her favorite foods from it.
(Wei Wei: (* ̄︶ ̄) No matter how well-behaved a child is, there are times when she releases bears. Her ability to observe words and expressions is not impossible, and Crown Prince Edward is still a little too tender. )
The guilty crown prince did not dare to speak, and floated away like a ghost with a more gloomy expression.
After Wei Wei watched him leave, the smile on her face turned cold, which startled the maids.
“Ma’am, what happened?” Penny asked worriedly, she rarely saw such a cold expression on Wei Wei’s face, it looked very scary.
Wei Wei shook her head, looked at her son who was already taking a nap on the bed accompanied by the maids, lifted the skirt, got up and walked out: “I’m going to see His Majesty the King, you are optimistic about Anthony.”
“Good lady.”
She deliberately waited for a while before coming out. Prince Edward had already left the king’s bedroom, and the steward was guarding the door of the king’s bedroom. She came around the corner and was discovered.
“Good afternoon, Countess.”
“Good afternoon.” Wei Wei nodded in greeting and asked him, “Is it convenient for Your Majesty to see me now?”
“Of course it’s convenient. Your Majesty ordered you to come in when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gone.” The manager opened the door for her.
Sure enough, the king in the room hadn’t fallen asleep, and he should have been waiting for her on purpose.
“Good afternoon, Your Majesty.”
“Good afternoon, ma’am.”
Wei Wei saluted, and before she could get up, the king couldn’t wait to ask, “How is Edward’s situation?”
Wei Wei looked at the manager and servants in the room, the king waved, and the servants backed out immediately, but the manager was left behind by him, apparently intending to let him listen together.
Knowing that the king is not very stimulated at this time, she first explained the crown prince’s illness: “His Royal Highness has heart and lung problems, but the situation is well controlled. As long as he pays attention to control, it will hardly affect his life. His asthma is caused by allergies. If the allergens are also eliminated, the chance of getting sick will be greatly reduced, and I can help him recover from his malnutrition and anemia, so as long as His Royal Highness is willing to cooperate with the treatment, and at the same time ensure enough Don’t be too tired to rest, and in a few years, although he may not fully recover, he will be able to live like an ordinary person.”
Of course, she was the only one who opened the door. She had more medical knowledge than her peers for nearly a thousand years, and a doctor who had all kinds of relevant documents in hand could give the king such a guarantee. If it was someone else, the crown prince was already on the death list.
The king’s main concern for a long time was his son’s illness. He was his favorite and well-bred heir. No matter what, he couldn’t accept the fact that his son would die earlier than himself, but every time the doctor he invited told him so. His, the more he heard, the king himself became numb, and even had to prepare for the worst, using his youngest son and his future children as alternatives – anyway, it was impossible to cheap Duke Romanov. .
Now, someone finally told him that his son was still saved and that his long-awaited wish had come true, but the king didn’t believe his ears.
“You mean, Edward is still alive? Won’t he die prematurely?”
Wei Wei shook her head at first, but quickly remembered what era it was, so she nodded and said, “I can’t guarantee that he will live to seven or eighty years old, but he can still win at fifty or sixty years old.”
In Wei Wei’s concept, the seven-year-old and the eighty-year-old are longevity, and those who die at the age of fifty or sixty can also be considered to die young.
But it’s different for the king. Fifty or sixty years old is already a long time for them, and many healthy people will not live to that age! What’s more, in his son’s situation, the imperial doctor said that he might not live to be twenty years old when his condition suddenly worsened.
Although this number can be pushed up, everyone thinks that it is at most 30 years old.
When the king saw Wei Wei shaking his head, he thought that she, like the other doctors, thought so too, but after hearing what she said, the king almost jumped up with excitement.
If it weren’t for the fact that he was still a patient and didn’t have much strength, and Wei Wei was a woman, he would definitely give her a hug!
Even the manager’s eyes turned red with excitement when he heard her words, because as long as what Wei Wei said was true, their Majesty and them wouldn’t have to worry, there would be no successor to the throne.
Of course, he did not forget to appease the king in the past: “Please calm down, Your Majesty, your current situation is not suitable for being too excited.”
“You’re right, I have to calm down.” The king tried his best to calm down. He still remembered Wei Wei saying that if Edward wanted to recover, he would have to be treated for several years. Now, I need to take care of myself as soon as possible, take over state affairs again, and let my son get treatment with peace of mind.
Seeing that he was slowly calming down, Wei Wei said, “Your Majesty, you should have a hunch about what I will say next, but I hope you can promise not to get excited.”
The king calmed down, thinking about why he asked Wei Wei to see Edward before, and guessed that she was going to say this, and I’m afraid it’s not good news.
He took a few more deep breaths, calmed himself down completely, prepared himself mentally, and nodded with Wei Wei: “You can talk.”
“As you worried, His Royal Highness was indeed poisoned.” Wei Wei said while observing his face: “Although it should only be once, but that should be the main reason for his deterioration.”
“And His Royal Highness should be the same poison as yours.”
The king’s face darkened a little bit because of her words, and the previous joy completely faded, especially after listening to Wei Wei’s last words, that face was completely blackened.
“Damn it! It turned out to be — it turned out to be –!!!”
He was speechless in anger, his face was hideous and terrifying. At this time, he was like a lion that could burst out at any time, and the majesty that had been in the upper position for a long time came to his face.
