"Let them come up!"

When Emperor Chengqian heard his fifth grandson's insistence on seeing him, he couldn't resist the urge to see his most beloved grandson one last time, so he finally had the couple summoned...

As soon as Zhu Xi climbed onto the imperial sedan chair, he saw his grandfather's pale face lying on the couch, and his eyes immediately turned red...

It turned out that Ayu was not mistaken, his grandfather was really sick!

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?! Weren't you fine just two days ago?! Woohoo~ Why didn't you let someone tell your grandson?!"

"Silly child, why are you here?!" Emperor Cheng Qian asked his grandson gently while enduring the pain.

"Ayu just saw you seeming to be enduring pain as you boarded the imperial sedan chair. I was worried, so I came to check on you... Grandfather, let Ayu take a look at you. She's a very skilled doctor!"

Zhu Xi said hurriedly.

As soon as Zhou Yu entered the imperial carriage, he asked Mu Feng, who was standing by, what was going on with Emperor Chengqian's illness...

Mu Feng knew Zhou Yu was a doctor, so he told him the results of Yang Yizheng's diagnosis...

"The pain suddenly started. I've taken several doses of medicine, but it's getting worse. Dr. Yang has no other options besides medication..."

Mu Feng whispered to Zhou Yu.

Intestinal abscess?!

Zhou Yu frowned and hurried forward to inquire about Emperor Cheng Qian's symptoms. He heard that the pain was initially in the umbilicus and upper abdomen, but now the pain is concentrated in the right abdomen. It can be preliminarily concluded that he is indeed suffering from intestinal abscess, which is acute appendicitis in modern terms!

She hurriedly performed another physical examination on Emperor Chengqian and discovered intermittent tenderness and severe pain in his right lower abdomen, which was noticeable when pressed. Fortunately, his temperature was not high, and no obvious mass was found in his right abdomen.

Zhou Yu felt that Emperor Chengqian's symptoms suggested acute, suppurative appendicitis, but fortunately, it hadn't progressed to the point of perforation or gangrene, and there weren't any large abscesses forming around the appendix yet...

But if we don’t intervene quickly and let the disease continue to develop, it may indeed be life-threatening!

But...if this happened in modern times, Zhou Yu wouldn't have to worry about it, as it could be solved with just one operation...

But now in this ancient time, if she were to perform surgery on Emperor Cheng Qian, not to mention the success rate of the surgery due to the lack of a sterile environment, it would be difficult to even convince Emperor Cheng Qian to let her perform the surgery!

If she directly said that she wanted to disembowel him, would he disembowel her first in a fit of rage? !

…

"Ayu, how is my grandfather's condition?! Can he still..."

Seeing that Zhou Yu didn't speak for a long time after the diagnosis, Zhu Xi couldn't help but ask worriedly.

"Xi'er, don't ask your wife. Grandpa knows that this illness of his is probably incurable... While Grandpa still has time, listen to me..."

Emperor Chengqian stopped Zhu Xi from asking questions, and wanted to seize the opportunity to tell his grandson a few words... He took his hand and said:

"Haven't you always wanted a fertile and fertile land to take your wife to? Grandfather has already chosen one for you and your wife! It's in Yunnan!"

When you return to Kyoto, you will quickly go to your fiefdom. Grandfather has already made arrangements for you. Your Uncle Mu will lead the troops to escort you there. Grandfather has already appointed your Uncle Mu as the Governor of Yunnan, and he will stay there to help you..."

"No! Grandfather, I won't leave you alone until you're fully recovered!"

Zhu Xi heard Emperor Qianzong was giving him his final words, and his stubborn temper flared up. He stiffened his neck and started yelling...

Seeing his grandfather suddenly hunched over in pain, with beads of sweat on his head bigger than soybeans, he cried out in fear...he felt that his grandfather was really going to die!

"Wuwu...Grandfather! Please don't die, okay? My father, mother, and eldest brother are all gone. Now, besides Ayu, you are the only relative I have left!!"

Emperor Cheng Qian felt the intense pain coming back at him, and he couldn't help but cry out in pain. He curled up in pain, and was too painful to answer Zhu Xi's words...

Zhu Xi was so anxious that he went to pull Zhou Yu back... He regarded Zhou Yu as his last lifeline...

Zhou Yu...

…

"Grandfather, if I say I'm 70% sure I can cure you, but only Zhu Xi and I are present during the treatment, and no one else is allowed in, would you trust me and let me treat you?!"

After Emperor Chengqian's severe pain subsided, Zhou Yu squatted in front of Emperor Chengqian's couch and asked him in a gentle voice.

Emperor Chengqian...

Mu Feng and Zhu Xi on the side...

My eyes lit up after hearing this!

"How to treat it? Why can't there be anyone else present?!" Mu Feng on the side couldn't help but ask.

"Because my treatment method is somewhat dangerous, I dare not try it unless it is absolutely necessary. Besides, I don't want to tell others about this method!" Zhou Yu had to make an excuse.

"Are you really 70% sure?!" Emperor Cheng Qian also asked.

"Yeah," Zhou Yu nodded affirmatively!

If Emperor Cheng Qian was not nearly seventy years old and the current operating environment was not so poor, Zhou Yu would have been 90% sure of the success. After all, appendectomy surgery was not a very difficult operation.

"Grandfather, please let Ayu try. Ayu's medical skills are very high. I believe she can definitely cure you!"

When Zhu Xi heard Zhou Yu say that his grandfather's illness could be cured, he immediately became happy... He didn't care at all about his wife's so-called 70% chance...

Ayu has always been cautious when practicing medicine. If she said 70%, then she must be at least 90% sure!

"Okay, I'll let you treat it!"

Emperor Chengqian did not hesitate for long and quickly made a decision! He felt that since Yang Yizheng and the others had no other options, instead of dying in pain, he might as well give it a try! After hearing Zhou Yu say that her treatment method might be dangerous, he instructed Mu Feng beside him:

"Don't let anyone know that it was Yu girl who cured me! If Yu girl kills me, don't worry about anything else. Hurry and take my imperial edict and your soldiers to escort them to the vassal state!"

Zhou Yu didn't expect that Emperor Cheng Qian agreed to let her treat the disease without even asking her how, and was so considerate of her and her husband. Although she knew that all he did was mostly for his grandson, she was still moved by his concern for his descendants!

Perhaps to some, the Emperor Chengqian was murderous, tyrannical, and liked to solve problems by chopping off people's heads. But to the people of Dayan, he was truly a good emperor who loved his people like his own children. He really worked hard to ensure that his people had enough food and clothing...

To his descendants, he was truly a good father and grandfather, always doing his utmost to provide for all of them… Even the Second and Third Princes, who had once rebelled against him, he couldn't bear to do anything to them. He simply locked them up and frequently checked on them, ensuring they had enough food and clothing…

…

Since Emperor Chengqian had agreed to let her treat him, Zhou Yu felt that there was no time to lose, so she immediately made arrangements...

First, Eunuch Lu cleared out all the things in the imperial sedan except the bed and a table on the grounds that Emperor Cheng Qian disliked the sedan being too messy, and wiped every place again, trying to make the environment in the sedan similar to that of an operating room.

"Uncle Mu, I need to stop the imperial sedan for an hour later. Also, no one can get close to the sedan within two hours!" Zhou Yu said to Mu Feng.

"Okay, don't worry, I will personally lead people to guard outside! No one will be allowed to get close!" Mu Feng replied immediately, and then went downstairs to make arrangements!

After Mu Feng and his men had taken care of the imperial sedan chair, and Eunuch Lu had arranged everything according to her instructions and left with his men to ensure no one came in, Zhou Yu's preparations for surgery officially began...

Zhou Yu first asked Zhu Xi to help Emperor Cheng Qian take off his clothes, and took the opportunity to attract Emperor Cheng Qian's attention. She ran to the corner of the imperial sedan chair, in the blind spot of Emperor Cheng Qian's vision, and then entered the space. She first disinfected her hands thoroughly, and then prepared all the surgical supplies and disinfected them one by one!

After coming out, Zhou Yu put on a mask and said to Emperor Cheng Qian, who was lying on the bed covered with only a cloth:

"Grandfather, don't be nervous. Close your eyes now. I'll give you an injection so you can get a good night's sleep. When you wake up, you'll be well again..."

Zhou Yu said with a smile.

But...Emperor Chengqian didn't want to close his eyes...

"Girl, just do whatever you want. Why are you closing your eyes? It's just a needle prick. Is your royal grandfather really going to be scared?!"

Zhou Yu...

Was I afraid you'd be scared? I was afraid you'd see my professional equipment... Zhou Yu couldn't help but grumble inwardly, "I wonder why this old man is so desperately trying to act like a hero when he's in so much pain!"

He quickly winked at Zhu Xi, who was standing by, and Zhu Xi immediately stepped forward and covered his grandfather's eyes...

"Grandfather, you're a patient now. Just do whatever Ayu tells you to do! Why are you talking so much?"

Emperor Chengqian...

Zhou Yu...it seems this simple and direct method is more effective...

So he gave Zhu Xi a thumbs up, then hurriedly took out the syringe hidden behind his back and injected the anesthetic into Emperor Cheng Qian's vein!

"Grandfather, I just heard you choose Yunnan as our fiefdom. Thank you! It's a really nice place!"

After Zhou Yu injected Emperor Cheng Qian with the anesthetic, he asked Zhu Xi to go to a corner to disinfect his hands and change into surgical gowns, while he chatted with Emperor Cheng Qian with a smile...

"What, have you been to Yunnan?!" Emperor Cheng Qian asked upon hearing this.

Zhou Yu... Hmm... Looks like the anesthetic hasn't taken effect yet...

"I haven't been there, but I've heard of it! I also know that it's spring-like all year round, and the scenery there is picturesque, with Erhai Lake, snow-capped mountains, and Lugu Lake..."

Emperor Chengqian: "You know quite a lot...I don't know these..."

"Of course. When we go to the fiefdom in the future, we will pick you up to play with us, right?" Zhou Yu said with a smile while staring at Emperor Cheng Qian's reaction.

"Okay..." Emperor Cheng Qian felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and responded casually...

Seeing that Emperor Chengqian's eyes were already half-closed, and hearing that he had agreed to go with them to the fiefdom, Zhou Yu knew that the anesthesia was starting to take effect! Because, if Emperor Chengqian was awake, he would never have agreed to go with them to the fiefdom...

While Emperor Chengqian was asleep, Zhou Yu hurriedly took two drops of his blood and tested his blood type. Seeing that it was the same as Zhu Xi's, both were AB type, which meant he could accept blood transfusions of any blood type, he felt relieved.

If something unexpected happens during the operation and a blood transfusion is necessary, I can first draw Zhu Xi's blood to replenish Emperor Cheng Qian... After all, he's just a tool? I have to make the most of him...

Zhu Xi, the tool, of course, had no idea of ​​his wife's role in his heart. He was currently trying his best to be a qualified assistant to her. He carefully followed her instructions, preparing the skin, disinfecting it, and then covering it with sterile towels...

Zhou Yu changed into surgical gowns, cleaned and disinfected his hands again, and put on gloves. He watched Zhu Xi work with satisfaction, thinking, "This guy is quite meticulous. He's quite suitable to be a nurse. He's doing a very good job."

After all the preparations for the operation were completed, Zhou Yu half-knelt in front of Emperor Cheng Qian's bed and asked Zhu Xi, who was standing beside him:

"Are you ready? The operation is about to begin! You will give me whatever I want in a moment..."

Zhu Xi swallowed nervously and nodded...

Although he didn't know what Zhou Yu meant by surgery... but looking at the sharp knife in Zhou Yu's hand, he instinctively felt that the next process would be terrifying...

Sure enough, after he nodded, his wife cut open his grandfather's belly neatly...

Zhu Xi... could he still say he wasn't quite prepared?!

………

The appendectomy surgery is not difficult and the operation takes a short time...

After Zhou Yu cut open Emperor Chengqian's abdomen, he quickly found the appendix along the cecum. He clamped the mesoappendix with a hemostatic clip and then removed a small section of the appendix with pus.

"Tsk tsk, look at your grandfather's appendix, it's almost black. If it's any later, it might have perforated, which would have been very dangerous!"

Zhou Yu sighed to Zhu Xi while holding the appendix that had just been cut out from Emperor Cheng Qian's intestines with a clamp!

Zhu Xi...

After the appendix was removed, Zhou Yu calmly cleaned the abdominal cavity of Emperor Cheng Qian and made sure there was no obvious bleeding from the appendix stump before suturing the wound...

From incision to suturing, the entire operation took only about two quarters of an hour! [Note 1]

But for Zhu Xi, these two quarters of an hour seemed as long as two years!

He watched with his own eyes as his wife cut open his grandfather's stomach... then pulled out his intestines, cut off a section... then pushed them back in... and then sewed the stomach back up again...

This experience… was truly unforgettable for Zhu Xi! It frightened him so much that his face turned even paler than his grandfather, who was sleeping soundly beside him!

If he did this, could his grandfather really still be alive?!

"Don't just stand there, while Grandpa is still asleep, quickly help me pack up these surgical instruments..."

Seeing Zhu Xi still standing there, staring blankly at the small section of appendix she had just removed, Zhou Yu couldn't help but urge...

Zhu Xi...

"Ayu...I can't help you anymore...I feel dizzy..."

Zhou Yu...
