Chapter 368 Targeted Treatment Begins for Meng Yi
Several days passed quickly, but Meng Yi still showed no signs of waking up. The King of Qin was deeply worried and personally visited Meng Yi's residence several times. Each time he saw Meng Yi lying on his sickbed, his eyes still closed and his face as pale as paper, the King of Qin's mood worsened.
Just then, Li Qingfeng, the imperial physician who had just finished a thorough examination of Meng Yi, respectfully approached the King of Qin and reported, "Your Majesty, after my careful treatment over the past few days, General Meng Yi's external wounds have all healed, and now, upon examining his pulse, there is no major problem with his internal organs."
Upon hearing this, the King of Qin eagerly asked, "If that's the case, when will Meng Yi wake up?"
Faced with the King of Qin's urgent inquiry, Li Qingfeng looked troubled and hesitated for a moment before cautiously replying, "Your Majesty, this... this humble subject truly cannot be certain."
Seeing that the King of Qin's face grew increasingly gloomy because of his answer, and that he seemed about to fly into a rage, Li Qingfeng's heart tightened, and he quickly added, "However, Your Majesty, I dare to suggest that you invite Lord Mu Yunyi to give it a try. Lord Mu Yunyi is proficient in acupuncture, and perhaps this method can stimulate General Meng Yi to wake up sooner."
The King of Qin nodded slightly in agreement. Soon after, Mu Yunyi was summoned to the Meng residence. He hurriedly bowed deeply to the King of Qin, then quickly retrieved a set of gleaming silver needles from his medical kit. He took a deep breath, steadied himself, and began to perform his exquisite and skillful acupuncture.
For a moment, the entire room fell silent. Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on Meng Yi, hoping for a miracle and that he would open his eyes and wake up in the next second. However, as one injection after another was administered, and time passed second by second, Meng Yi remained completely unresponsive.
Mu Yunyi frowned, his gaze fixed on the unresponsive patient on the bed—Meng Yi. The silver needles in his hand trembled slightly. He had tried various acupuncture techniques, but the results were utterly disappointing. Finally, he sighed deeply, slowly lowered the needles, and turned around with a face full of guilt. He bowed deeply to the King of Qin sitting beside him and Meng Tian and the others standing by the bed, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, General Meng, I am incompetent! I have tried every acupuncture technique, but I still cannot rouse General Meng."
Just as the atmosphere became so heavy it was almost suffocating, a series of hurried footsteps approached. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure rushing towards them. As the person drew closer, they recognized him as Ying Wuyou.
Upon seeing Ying Wuyou's arrival, the previously tense and angry King Qin's expression softened considerably. Those around him, whether standing or sitting, breathed a long sigh of relief, as if they had found a savior. Ever since Meng Yi fell into a coma, the King Qin had been like an enraged lion, constantly teetering on the edge of rage. During this time, not only the palace maids and eunuchs serving him lived in constant fear, but even the high-ranking officials in the court were extremely cautious when attending court, fearing that they might inadvertently anger the emperor and bring about their own demise.
Although many were unwilling to admit it, it was undeniable that only the beloved Princess Jiayang, Ying Wuyou, could quell the King of Qin's temper. Therefore, when Ying Wuyou appeared before them, both the anxious Mu Yunyi and the secretly hiding Li Qingfeng, barely daring to breathe, breathed a sigh of relief. It was as if a huge weight had finally been lifted from their hearts, allowing them to relax their extremely tense nerves.
Ying Wuyou sensed the oppressive atmosphere emanating from the palace and immediately realized that her father must be angry again. She took a deep breath, then walked lightly to the King of Qin and respectfully bowed. Turning to Li Qingfeng and Meng Tian, she said softly, "Imperial Physician Li, General Meng, I have been reviewing relevant materials recently, and I have compiled some methods that might awaken General Meng. However, it is difficult to say whether these methods will be effective. But we have no other choice but to try everything we can. What do you two think?" With that, she took several sheets of paper from her bag and handed them to Li Qingfeng.
Li Qingfeng took the paper, his gaze falling upon it, and began to read it carefully line by line. The paper didn't contain much, and Li Qingfeng finished reading it quickly. Then, a look of doubt appeared on his face. Clearly, he was filled with questions and uncertainty about these so-called methods. After all, as the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, his understanding of medicine was quite profound; it wasn't easy for him to easily believe in these unproven methods.
However, the situation was truly thorny. Meng Yi lay there unconscious, and everyone in the court, from high-ranking officials to ordinary ministers, was under immense pressure. Li Qingfeng secretly pondered that if an effective treatment strategy couldn't be found quickly, the potential consequences were unimaginable!
After a brief but deep moment of thought, he finally opened his mouth slowly, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "It seems that there is indeed no other more ideal solution. Although we are not yet clear about the actual effects of the methods proposed by Your Highness, we presume that they will not make the current situation worse. Therefore, I humbly suggest that we give them a try."
The King of Qin, who had been silently listening to the conversation, turned his gaze to Ying Wuyou and asked, "Jiayang, are you absolutely certain about this matter?"
Ying Wuyou gently shook his head and replied in a solemn tone, "Father, to be honest, I am not absolutely certain. But things have come to this point, and we have no other choice but to take a gamble and see if there is any chance of a turnaround."
The King of Qin nodded slightly, indicating that he understood his daughter's thoughts. He then turned his gaze to Meng Tian, who was standing to the side, and asked, "So what is your opinion on this?"
Meng Tian took the paper from Li Qingfeng, examined it carefully for a few moments, and after a brief pause, replied, "No matter what the method is, and whether it works or not, we still need to try it. After all, the longer we wait, the worse the situation will become."
The King of Qin said with a firm gaze, "Since that's the case, then let's give it a try!" From that day on, everyone in the Meng family carefully tried the treatment method for vegetative patients provided by Ying Wuyou.
As time passed, the King of Qin's initially uncontrollable rage subsided somewhat, and he was no longer as irritable and easily angered as before. At the same time, Ying Wuyou did not slack off in the slightest, and continued to work tirelessly on the various construction projects of the Great Qin Academy.
