Chapter 458 Someone needs to test the medicine
The sun rose as always, and the morning sunlight passed through the narrow windows of the castle and shone right on the bed.
Claire was awakened by the sunshine and sat up. She was shocked when she saw that there was only her maid next to the bed. She looked up and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Frederick reading in a chair on the other side of the room. .
She already knew why she was under house arrest. She was lucky to not be hanged after breaking into a military restricted area.
What she has to do now is to stay with Archduke Wessen. When the time comes, he and his people will go to Wesenberg City, take over the originally agreed fishing boat without sails, and return home.
In the camp, old Louis also woke up and subconsciously touched the mattress under the white sheets.
This mattress is inflated and very soft to lie on. It is said to reduce pressure on the back and try to avoid the formation of bedsores.
He was very curious about everything he saw in this tent hospital. Everything everyone did had a corresponding reason, which was more interesting than what Ganden had said before. Easy for people to understand and accept.
For example, the self-operating bellows outside blows the wind through two layers of gauze first, and then through a thick layer of carbon. Finally, before entering the ward, there is a life withering technique to kill those invisible bacteria, and the air Incredibly clean.
And the winds were so strong that the curtains of the tents were blown up. It was said that the clean air kept blowing out, and the dirty air from outside could not come in.
The maid on duty outside saw that the king had woken up. Soon after, Earl Green put on a white coat, hat and mask and came in to help old Louis relieve himself. Then Florence came to take his temperature.
“38 Webster degrees.” Florence looked at the thermometer and said, “It’s still a low fever, not getting worse.”
After a suitable thermometer needle appeared, Frederick arranged for someone to collect it The final average of the body temperature data of ordinary healthy people in Wesson is 37.3 Webster degrees.
At first he thought it was the difference in temperature scales between the two worlds, but later he discovered that farmers generally have higher body temperatures than citizens. After thinking about it, he found that the current hygiene level is too low, the human immune system is very busy, and high body temperature is conducive to resistance. Invasion of bacteria and viruses.
The next step is to lower blood pressure. Old Louis originally had high blood pressure due to drinking too much and eating too much food all year round. After being sick for so long, it turned out to be normal.
After the routine inspection, Earl Green brought breakfast, which was just simple milk, steamed bread, eggs with fume and tomatoes mixed with sugar as fruit.
Frank reported on the treatment project on the first day: "Your Majesty, this morning we will perform blood culture and lung puncture and pus drainage treatment for you."
"In today's drawing After the blood culture, you will start taking the capsule medicine to let your body adapt to the medicine first."
"Today, His Royal Highness will select five people for injection treatment."
Old Louis was keenly aware. Got the question and asked: "How long does it take to draw blood?"
Frank replied: "It is planned to draw 10 ml of blood every five days and culture it in the culture medium for two to three days. From this, we can determine the number of bacteria in the blood."
Old Louis asked like a child: "It won't hurt very much, right?"
Frank suppressed a smile and replied: "It's just a needle prick."
Old Louis breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's okay, I thought it was... Cut it with a knife.”
After Frank finished his report and left, Earl Green continued to serve old Louis for breakfast.
Old Louis looked at no one else around, a sly smile appeared on his face, and asked Earl Green in a low voice: "I heard that you stayed in Wesson's room for a long time yesterday?"
Earl Green said expressionlessly Said: "There is something I didn't tell you, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."
Old Louis was a little surprised. After Earl Green's father died in the war, she became his mother's adopted daughter. He has always regarded her as his own sister and even Looking at her half-brother, she even told her about joining the Witch Sisters. What else was left unsaid?
Earl Green continued to say calmly: "I made money on tulips last year."
Old Louis suddenly felt heartbroken and was not in the mood to care whether something happened between her and Frederick. What happened?
At the same time, not far outside the ward, an awning was set up outside the kitchen tent, tables and chairs were obtained from the castle, and everyone was having breakfast.
Eugene was at the table with Prince Moritz and the friends he invited, and everyone was eating breakfast.
“Don’t say I didn’t remind you.” Eugene said while eating red tomato meat sauce noodles, “His Royal Highness Louis found a few people to test the medicine, I suggest you snatch this job. ”
Theo and other young nobles were not so sensitive, and Prince Moritz immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to show off in front of His Royal Highness.
Competition among domestic mountains is fierce, so don’t miss the opportunity.
Eugene continued: "Before we came, we conducted a drug trial with hundreds of people. A classmate of mine from the military school participated because of pneumonia. He was cured in five days without any side effects."
Prince Moritz He nodded and said in a low voice to the group of young people: "I will not participate in this kind of thing. His Majesty the King and His Royal Highness the Prince know about me anyway. But you, apart from jealousy and fights, there is nothing else for them to know about." "
"You have to behave well later. This is a favor that will last a lifetime."
Theo and others immediately nodded. Their fathers were all conferred by Prince Moritz. Minister or ally, it is natural to listen to him.
“No!” Teo suddenly exclaimed, “What we can think of can also be thought of by others. Now that we are here and His Royal Highness is in the castle, will they go and talk to His Highness now? "A few other young people thought he was right, and some wanted to go to the castle now.
Prince Moritz glanced at Theo with satisfaction. This kid usually looked like a fool and was often used as a gunman, but he had a keen sense of smell in critical situations.
He glanced at Eugene with more satisfaction. Although his son ran out to hang out with Wesson, he still took care of his family. Yesterday, he only asked Teo and a few young people to come to visit. It was obviously for this reason. Be prepared.
Just as Theo guessed, little Louis's office is now filled with young nobles who came to express their loyalty.
In order to weaken the power of local nobles, the Gallic royal family has been breaking up the big nobles at every opportunity for more than a hundred years, so many small nobles with limited power have emerged.
The local nobles gathered in groups to compete with the royal family. However, for the royal family, compared with the stable big families, the relatively loose mountains were much easier to deal with.
The big nobles looked down upon this matter today, but it was different for the small nobles, especially those whose territories were far away from the royal capital.
In the eyes of the king, they are just numbers and part of the heraldry book. They usually only have the opportunity to meet the king every three to five years, and each meeting only lasts for more than ten minutes.
How could you miss this opportunity to do something that will directly impress the king and future kings?
Little Louis didn’t expect that so many people could squeeze into this small office. He thought of canned fried shrimps, but the smell was a bit strong.
He was so noisy that he had a headache, and finally decided to throw the pot away: "This medicine was brought by Archduke Wesson, let him decide."
Frederick was chatting with Claire about fish, when someone arrived I was also shocked when I walked into the open space under the castle. There were too many people. Not only was Little Louis' office full of people just now, but the corridor outside was also full.
These people hold their heads high and make themselves look braver. The wealth in the next few decades will be at this moment.
Frederick looked around, nodded, and said: "Let's decide by drawing lots."
Everyone, including little Louis, looked at me and I looked at you. Unexpectedly operation.
After a while, five people were selected to test the medicine. When little Louis took them to the temporary hospital, Teo and his friends were left with only the hanging bottles.
"What are you..." Little Louis was shocked.
Te'ao said solemnly: "We heard that His Majesty Louis is going to use a new treatment method. We are worried about the safety of this method, so we came here to test the medicine for His Majesty!"
Several other young people The nobles said the same thing.
Little Louis was a little touched. These guys usually got into trouble. They could inherit the family business and become a nobleman by lying down, but they didn't expect that they would get into trouble themselves.
The few guys who were chosen by lot were depressed. They were bold, and they didn't expect others to be bolder. It would be better if they came directly.
There was just a man in the tent who looked out of place compared to Theo and the others. Little Louis pointed at Eugene and asked, "What's going on with him?"
At this time, Eugene was tied tightly. On the chair, his eyes were like salted fish, and there was a full bottle hanging next to the almost finished medicine bottle.
Theo said: "Prince Moritz said that he had the important task of protecting His Majesty Louis and could not test the medicine on his own body, so he asked his son to do it for him."
Little Louis walked to Eugene. In front of him, he asked: "Why did you offend your father?"
Eugene gave a salty smile.
A guard of old Louis looked here to see if Theo and the others had any adverse reactions, and whispered to young Louis: "Yesterday Eugene told Prince Moritz that he could arrange for him to live in the same house as Count Green. In the tent, the prince gave him the cherished pocket watch. "
"Oh?" Little Louis was burning with gossip. Many people knew that Prince Moritz wanted to date Count Green. Asked: "What happened next?"
The guard shrugged and said regretfully: "We were indeed in the same tent, but separated into two parts by a wall made of sandbags."
< br>Little Louis shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it was Prince Moritz who didn't beat Archduke Wesson to death because of his face."
That's what he said, but Prince Moritz asked his son to test the medicine himself, and even tried two bottles. The needle was actually inserted into the blood vessel. This is a fact before his eyes.
Little Louis asked Theo the question he was most concerned about: "How do you feel now? Are there any discomforts?"
Theo replied: "The doctor said there is alcohol in the medicine. I I feel a bit drunk now. It also feels like I’ve eaten garlic, but I obviously didn’t eat it.”
“There’s nothing else.”
Little. Louis curiously began to study the medicine bottle and infusion tube. After obtaining the consent of the nurse on duty, he lifted the gauze on the back of Teo's hand and saw that there were several strings on the palm of his hand holding the transparent infusion tube. The needle at the end of the infusion tube was really It stabbed into his veins.
"Does it hurt?" asked little Louis.
“It doesn’t hurt.” Theo said with a smile, “I just felt a little when I first put it in.”
