Chapter 81 Meng Huaiyan is too terrifying

Physician Zhang dared not delay. He quickly instructed his servants to boil more hot water and then used strong liquor to disinfect the silver needles. He then inserted the needles into the area around the heart to seal the blood vessels and prevent massive bleeding when the knife was removed.

Damage to the heart is different from damage to other parts of the body; it can lead to death if not handled carefully. Physician Zhang knew very well that if something happened to the heir today, he would not be able to leave this Duke's mansion alive.

Physician Zhang had his servants light more candles, and the entire room was instantly as bright as day, finally making visibility clear.

After everything was ready, Physician Zhang calmed himself down, then slowly pulled out the knife. As soon as the knife was pulled out, blood gushed out instantly.

Physician Zhang quickly pressed the gauze, which had been boiled and soaked with medicine, onto his chest.

Physician Zhang couldn't help but feel relieved. Fortunately, the knife hadn't pierced the heart's major artery; otherwise, even a miracle wouldn't have saved him.

The gauze was quickly soaked with blood, so Doctor Zhang quickly replaced it with a new gauze and pressed it on again. Fortunately, the bleeding stopped quickly this time.

Physician Zhang removed the gauze and meticulously stitched up the wound with sterilized silver needles and mulberry thread. Physician Zhang was completely focused and dared not be distracted in the slightest. Before long, he was covered in sweat.

Because the heart is in a sensitive location, Physician Zhang did not dare to use anesthesia.

Meng Huaiyan seemed to sense the pain and began to struggle. Doctor Zhang was so frightened that he quickly shouted, "Quickly hold his hands down and don't let him move around!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyang and Song quickly grabbed Meng Huaiyan's arms from both sides.

The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, with only the occasional groans of pain escaping Meng Huaiyan's lips.

After finishing his official duties, the Duke rushed over immediately upon hearing that something had happened to Meng Huaiyan.

When the princess saw him, the tears she had been holding back finally fell.

The Duke grasped her trembling hand, looked up at Meng Huaiyan's direction, his eyes filled with worry.

The princess rested her head on his chest, weeping silently, her tears quickly soaking the Duke's clothes.

He looked down at the heartbroken princess and gently comforted her, "Don't worry too much, Yan'er will definitely be alright."

Time stretched on endlessly, and after an unknown amount of time, the treatment by Physician Zhang finally came to an end.

The eldest princess and the duke rushed forward anxiously: "Imperial Physician Zhang, how is she?"

Physician Zhang bowed and said, "The young master's condition has stabilized for the time being. If he doesn't develop a fever in the latter half of the night, he will be considered to have passed through this safely."

Upon hearing this, the Princess and the Duke finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Duke: "Thank you for your hard work, Physician Zhang."

Physician Zhang: "No, no, it's all what we should do."

"I will keep a close eye on the Crown Prince's situation throughout the rest of the night. Please rest assured, Your Excellency and the Princess."

The Duke nodded, then said to the Princess, "It's too late, you should go back and rest. I'll stay here."

The eldest princess shook her head: "No, I won't be able to sleep if I go back. I'll just wait here for Yan'er to wake up."

The Duke didn't try to persuade her further, but instead pulled her to sit down on a chair nearby.

In the middle of the night, Meng Huaiyan developed a fever. Fortunately, Physician Zhang had made preparations in advance, and although the situation was urgent, he did not panic.

Finally, as dawn was breaking, the hype surrounding Meng Huaiyan subsided.

Physician Zhang, whose heart had been pounding all night, finally breathed a sigh of relief and excitedly told the Princess and the Duke, "The young master is alright."

The Princess and the Duke could not hide their joy and said gratefully, "Thank you, Physician Zhang!"

Then someone was sent with a generous reward to Physician Zhang. Physician Zhang was terrified and dared not accept it. After several attempts to refuse, he had no choice but to accept it.

He then instructed the servants on the precautions for the prince's diet and medication before returning to the Imperial Hospital.

After staying up all night, even the strongest body couldn't take it anymore. The princess's heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, suddenly relaxed, and she felt utterly exhausted.

This time, the Duke didn't give in to her and, with a slightly forceful attitude, took her back to Qinyuan to rest.

With the departure of the eldest princess and the duke, the oppressive atmosphere in the room finally dissipated, allowing everyone to catch their breath.

Shen Tang had been standing there all night, and her legs had long since lost all feeling. Just as she lifted her leg to take a step forward, a piercing pain suddenly shot through her leg.

If Qiao'er hadn't been there to support her, she probably would have fallen to the ground by now.

Shen Tang stroked Qiao'er's hand, and only after the pain in her leg subsided did she slowly walk towards the bed.

Shen Tang stood by the bed, staring at Meng Huaiyan with an inscrutable expression for a long time, before finally gritting her teeth and saying, "Madman!"

The blood on her hands had long since congealed, but the warm and sticky sensation clung to her like a leech, making it difficult for her to shake it off.

She couldn't understand why the man who had treated her like trash in her past life had become such a completely different person in this life, so obsessed with her.

It even came to the point of risking their lives.

The scene from last night still terrifies her. Meng Huaiyan is too scary, really too scary!

For a long time, her mind went blank, and she couldn't hear the sounds around her. It was as if she had been suddenly isolated from the world, and she had a sense of emptiness, not knowing where she was.

It wasn't until the princess slapped her that she finally returned to reality.

Every doctor who examined him had a solemn and helpless expression; even the best imperial physicians in the palace could not guarantee his life or death.

At that moment, she finally realized that Meng Huaiyan might really die.

She will become a murderer.

Fear, panic, helplessness and other emotions overwhelmed her like a tidal wave, making her feel suffocated.

It wasn't until Physician Zhang said, "The young master is alright," that the suffocating tide finally receded, allowing her to breathe.

Meng Huaiyan's madness had exceeded her tolerance; she didn't know what to do with him.

She no longer has the courage to face the consequences of angering him again.

Is it really possible for her to escape him in this lifetime?
