However, a little surprised was that Huang Zuluo did not come to visit the machine factory as agreed in advance on that day. Mr. Chen from Daotai Mansion rushed to tell Lu Hong the next morning that Xue Fucheng suddenly fell ill and was in a serious condition. Huang Daotai invited famous doctor Chen Lianfang to the outpatient clinic for treatment, but was told that the condition was worrying.

After Master Chen hurriedly told Lu Hong about this news, he hurriedly left. Huang Zuluo also arranged for him to invite Western doctors from the Concession Church. In this era, Western medicine has long been nothing new in the Far East Shanghai. However, in the eyes of Chinese people, Western doctors are quite accomplished in minor surgery, and when it comes to inquiries, traditional Chinese medicine is still more effective...

So, after Master Chen left, Qin Tianmin, who happened to be asking Lu Hong for advice on how to run a machine factory, immediately interrupted, "Brother Lu, Lord Xue valued you very much yesterday. Let's prepare a few supplements to visit!"

However, Lu Hong's expression was a big surprise, as if he was thinking deeply, and he didn't hear him talking at all. After a while, Lu Hong turned his head and looked at him and said, "Brother Qin, hurry up and prepare this gift, let's go now!"

Seeing Qin Tianmin walking out diligently, Lu Hong's expression became more serious at this moment. The history he knew still seemed to have not changed. As far as he knew, in history, Xue Fucheng had a sudden illness in Shanghai after returning from Britain. Then, this important official who was determined to go to Beijing to report to the court that he had seen and thought in Europe for many years, and then he left.

He immediately returned to his house and carefully found the small military first aid kit that he had followed him for a long time. He always kept this thing with him. However, he was a layman in medicine. Although perhaps from the perspective of medical knowledge, he might surpass any medical master in this era, but in terms of details, he was not even as good as an ordinary Chinese medicine doctor.

So, half an hour later, Lu Hong had already brought Qin Tianmin to an outside of a private house of Huang Zuluo where Xue Fucheng was temporarily living. Unexpectedly, the senior official who had been appointed as a second-rank inspector had not accompanied him...who came out to greet him was his eldest son Xue Yiyun and Mr. Chen from Daotai Mansion.

Xue Yiyun had never seen Lu Hong before. Master Chen next to him naturally recommended him immediately, but his father suddenly fell ill, and naturally looked quite dazed. He bowed and brought Lu Hong into the inner hall. After sitting down, he looked sad.

However, Master Chen next to him was obviously commissioned by Huang Zuluo to help, so he naturally introduced it on his behalf, "Lord Lu, this famous doctor in Shanghai, Chen Lianfang, has come to take his pulse for Lord Xue. He said in private that this disease is coming in a fierce way and it is difficult to treat it if it is not for the strong medicine. However, the adults are in poor health and may not be able to cure the properties of the medicine. They are quite anxious..."

Lu Hong said softly. Mr. Chen’s retelling of this famous Shanghai doctor was very clear. However, it was difficult for him as an outsider to understand what the Chinese medicine said, so he asked: “Mr. Chen, I saw Mr. Xue coughing all the time the day before yesterday, but was it an emergency caused by this?”

"This..." Master Chen obviously hadn't asked this question, so he naturally didn't know the result. He immediately waved to a maid at the door, and after a few instructions, he said: "Mr. Lu, Dr. Chen has also been to Beijing for the emperor to check his pulse. If you have any questions, please ask him directly!"

It turned out that Chen Lianfang was in the mansion, which saved Lu Hong's strength. He asked about the invitation of a Western doctor again, but unexpectedly it caused Xue Yiyun's repeated sighs. After asking carefully, Lu Hong was quite surprised when the news he heard.

It turned out that Mr. Chen did invite Herburn, a famous doctor from the church hospital in the British Concession. Moreover, this American American who came from the American Presbyterian Church brought some advanced things - a pressure sphygmomanometer and a mercury thermometer to measure blood pressure and body temperature on the spot. However, after auscultation, the Americans did not find the reason why Xue Fucheng was seriously ill.

Just as Lu Hong and Xue Yiyun were chatting, a thriving old man in his fifties outside the door had already walked in quickly. Xue Yiyun and Master Chen saw this and immediately stood up to greet him, while Lu Hong followed behind. This person must be the famous Shanghai doctor Chen Lianfang...

"Mr. Xue, the foreigner's diagnosis and treatment have result... Ling Zun's body is quite heavy. I went back to think about it all night last night, and then I carefully took the pulse for Ling Zun. It should be that the cold air enters the lungs. Although there is no good prescription, it should be somewhat sure to relieve the disease!" The old man gently stroked his beard and went straight to the topic very seriously.

This was the only good news that Xue Yiyun heard in the past two days. He immediately gave Chen Lianfang to the top and continued with a nervous expression, "Doctor Chen, why is his father's condition so aggressive? Please treat it carefully..."

Chen Lianfang saw Xue Yiyun's expectant expression, and naturally understood the other party's thoughts. However, he was a Chen family and practiced medicine for three generations, so he naturally knew that this medical treatment was no better than other people. He was sure of whether he was sure. He immediately added, "Mr. Xue, I am really not sure about Ling Zun's illness, so I can only do my best. In addition, Ling Zun cannot be in charge of state affairs, so I should be careful and rest!"

Xue Yi nodded quickly. Although Lu Hong listened to him for a long time, he really didn't understand that Lao Xue's problem was considered a god-ma. The morphine and hemostasis in his military first aid kit were obviously useless, but the other few quinolones and morpholinoguanidine hydrochloride antiviral tablets were obviously his killer weapon. However, after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out how to communicate with Chen Lianfang!

So he had to stand beside him and watch the miraculous doctor write a herbal prescription, and Xue Yiyun excitedly took the prescription and took people out to get the medicine. Then he seized the opportunity to ask Chen Lianfang. Xue Yiyun was not present, so he could explain this more clearly. Chen Lianfang didn't hide anything. His decoction was just to strengthen the body, dissipate heat and detoxify, hoping that it could be relieved and then give another medicine to treat it.

He also said directly that Xue Fucheng is an emergency, and the patient's physical condition is not good, which is really bad. If the condition can be relieved, the hope of recovery will increase greatly. However, he is currently very unhappy about this... Just now, Chen Lianfang also asked the American doctor Herbourne carefully. The Americans obviously had no way to relieve it.

After Chen Lianfang sighed for a while, he instructed Master Chen a few more words, sighed and said goodbye, but Lu Hong had no intention of leaving. Under Master Chen's guidance, he personally went to the bedroom of the back room to visit Xue Fucheng.

When we arrived here, an American doctor in his thirties was sitting at the door, holding a thick book in his hand, as if looking for something. Obviously, this was the American Presbyterian doctor, Hebrowne.

Seeing Mr. Chen coming, Herburn stood up and said in bad Chinese: "Chen...I suggest...sending to...the hospital...surgery!"

Mr. Chen made this decision, and Lu Hong was sweating when he heard the word "surgery". In this era, although Western medicine has generally used anesthetics such as chloroform and has a certain understanding of infection caused by bacteria, the mortality rate of Western medicine surgery is still as high as 60% to 70%... It can almost be said that if you were sent to the operating table, you almost died!

He saw Mr. Chen's confused expression and immediately vetoed loudly in English: "Doctor Herbourne, the patient cannot undergo surgery until there is no guarantee of surgical safety!"

Hearing Lu Hong's fluent English and seemed to have a London accent, Dr. Herburn was also very surprised and immediately explained: "Mr. Xue has been on high fever for a day, and his breathing is already very rapid. He may turn into an incurable lung disease at any time, which will eventually lead to difficulty in breathing!"
