Chapter 355 Awaiting News
However, she remained worried about Meng Yi's safety. Therefore, Ying Wuyou changed direction and headed straight for the Imperial Medical Bureau. The moment she stepped inside, a rich aroma of medicine filled the air. She looked around and quickly found Imperial Physician Li Qingfeng busy at work.
Ying Wuyou hurried forward and asked anxiously, "Imperial Physician Li, how is General Meng Yi's injury? Is it serious?"
Li Qingfeng stopped what he was doing, looked up, and saw that it was Ying Wuyou. He quickly cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Your Highness, General Meng's injuries are indeed quite serious, but fortunately, his life is not in danger. After our examination, we expect that he will recover in about half a month."
Upon hearing this news, Ying Wuyou breathed a slight sigh of relief, but then immediately asked, "When will General Meng Yi be able to wake up?"
Li Qingfeng smiled wryly and shook his head helplessly, saying, "To be honest, given General Meng's injuries, he shouldn't be in a coma. But for some reason, he still hasn't woken up. This is the first time I've ever encountered such a situation, and it's really hard to say when General Meng will wake up."
Upon hearing this news, Ying Wuyou frowned deeply, her heart filled with worry and anxiety. Was General Meng Yi really going to become a mindless, immobile vegetable? This was simply unacceptable!
Thinking about this made Ying Wuyou feel extremely distressed. She knew all too well that, not only under the relatively backward medical conditions of the Qin Dynasty, but even in the technologically advanced 21st century, the treatment of vegetative state patients remained one of the major challenges facing the medical community. Whether a patient could wake up and when they could wake up depended almost entirely on their own will and physical condition.
Filled with worry, Ying Wuyou had no desire to stay in the Imperial Medical Bureau any longer. She turned around hurriedly and walked quickly towards Chaohua Palace. Along the way, various thoughts kept echoing in her mind. Upon returning to Chaohua Palace, Ying Wuyou went into the study, sat down in a chair, and mentally called upon the system.
"System, how exactly did Meng Yi get such serious injuries?" Ying Wuyou asked anxiously.
However, the system replied: "[Host, I am merely residing within your consciousness. The information I can see and understand is limited to what you have experienced and know. At most, I am equivalent to a computer capable of querying historical information.]"
Hearing this, Ying Wuyou sighed helplessly, but still held onto a sliver of hope and said, "Alright, since that's the case, then help me find out if there's any way to wake up a person in a vegetative state."
After a quick search, the system spoke calmly: "Host, I regret that I couldn't find a direct and effective method to awaken a person in a vegetative state. However, through my tireless efforts, I have collected a series of related cases. I will now present them to you." As soon as it finished speaking, lines of dense text quickly appeared on the screen.
However, Ying Wuyou had never been comfortable with this electronic screen-based reading method. So, without hesitation, she gave the system the instruction: "Print all these materials out and bring them to me." The system, of course, readily complied with its host's requests, and its execution efficiency was top-notch. Before long, a thick stack of case studies on the awakening of vegetative state patients was neatly arranged on Ying Wuyou's large desk.
Ying Wuyou tiptoed to the desk and sat down, then began to concentrate intently on reviewing the documents. Time passed by, and before she knew it, an hour had quietly slipped by. Finally, Ying Wuyou slowly put down the papers, gently stretched her somewhat stiff body, and stood up to loosen her limbs.
Meanwhile, Ying Wuyou's mind raced, recalling cases of vegetative state patients regaining consciousness and analyzing the key factors. After some review, she discovered that these successful cases generally followed the following key points:
First, try playing some moderately paced, soothing classical music for the patient, or choose pieces they usually enjoy. Music possesses a magical power; it can penetrate the level of consciousness and directly touch deep-seated emotions and memories. Even a comatose patient may experience some degree of perception and response to familiar and beautiful notes.
Secondly, the companionship of family members is crucial. Although patients in a vegetative state cannot regain consciousness temporarily, scientific research shows that they can still perceive changes in their surroundings and the love conveyed by their loved ones. Therefore, family members should frequently talk to them softly at their bedside, sharing everyday moments and reminiscing about the beautiful times they have spent together. This continuous emotional support may become a powerful force in awakening a dormant soul.
Furthermore, appropriate stimulation therapy is also an effective method. For example, gently brushing the patient's soles with a soft brush can not only promote blood circulation but may also stimulate the activity of the cerebral cortex through nerve reflexes. In addition, gently wiping the patient's arms with a warm, damp towel can also help improve the local microcirculation of the body, thereby increasing the excitability of the nervous system.
Finally, and equally importantly, is the companionship of animals. If you have pets at home who are willing to be close to a patient in a vegetative state, allowing them to lick the patient's fingers or other body parts may bring unexpected surprises. After all, the natural and pure emotional bond between animals and humans can sometimes transcend the boundary between life and death, creating miracles of life recovery.
Ying Wuyou spent a great deal of time and effort carefully organizing this important information and meticulously copying it down. After finishing, she put the document away, secretly thinking that she must deliver it to the Imperial Physician Li Qingfeng as soon as possible, hoping to help Meng Yi wake up soon.
In the following days, a tense and anxious atmosphere permeated the entire palace. The King of Qin waited anxiously for the latest news about Meng Yi, while Princess Ying Wuyou naturally knew a great deal about the discovery of General Meng Yi and his subsequent return.
It is understood that General Meng Yi was discovered by chance on the border between Qin and Chu. When he was found, he was not alone; several other people, also unconscious, lay beside him. The general responsible for patrolling the border recognized Meng Yi at a glance and was greatly surprised. He immediately realized the seriousness of the situation and hurriedly sent people to find doctors to treat him. However, faced with Meng Yi's unconscious state and the numerous large and small, shocking wounds covering his body, even experienced border doctors were at a loss, hesitant to make a diagnosis or take any rash treatment measures. After some discussion, they finally decided to send General Meng Yi to Xianyang City as soon as possible so that he could receive better medical care.
As for those responsible for escorting Meng Yi back to Xianyang, they knew absolutely nothing about the ins and outs of the incident. They were merely following orders, ensuring the injured man's safe arrival at the Meng residence as instructed by their superiors; beyond that, they were completely unaware of any further details.
