He Xue, a modern woman with a keen interest in Qing Dynasty history, felt regret over the fate of the deposed Crown Prince, believing he didn't deserve such an end. If given the chance, she was...
Consort Yi looked at the person who walked in with expectant eyes. At this moment, she didn't care about anything else, as long as she could save Xiao Shiyi's life.
Doctor Liu stared at Mario with shining eyes, especially at the medicine box behind Mario, wishing he could snatch it immediately to see what was inside.
Mario asked some questions and confirmed that the eleventh prince had appendicitis, and it was very serious, so the only option was to open his abdomen and remove the necrotic part.
“I can perform surgery on him, but I won’t take responsibility. If he’s not cured, don’t blame me!” Mario said to Yuki.
Everyone looked at He Xue.
“Mario said he can operate on Little Eleven, but don’t blame him if he can’t cure him!” Xue said.
"He Xue, tell him that as long as he saves Xiao Shiyi, we won't hold him accountable no matter what!" Consort Yi said immediately, as this was the best news she had ever heard.
“You can rest assured to save others, and you will not be held responsible,” Yuki said to Mario.
“OK!” Mario said.
He Xue told Mario about the previous preparations, and then introduced Doctor Liu to Mario, telling him that Doctor Liu could help stop the bleeding.
Mario's gaze towards Physician Liu immediately changed, and he kept muttering, "It's amazing!"
Since Physician Liu was unable to communicate with Mario, He Xue could only act as a translator. Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince said he would accompany He Xue.
After everything was prepared, the Eleventh Prince was taken to a room that had been cleaned with strong liquor. Mario and Physician Liu performed surgery on the Eleventh Prince inside, while Xue and the Crown Prince translated from the outside room!
Consort Yi kept chanting "May Buddha protect us!" and the others followed suit. They didn't know if it would work, but it was better than just waiting around.
An hour later, Mario announced that the surgery was complete and the necrotic tissue had been removed.
Mario was very curious about Doctor Liu's method of stopping bleeding, and Mario's skills also broadened Doctor Liu's horizons. The two discussed that they must have a friendly exchange in the future.
Upon hearing that the Eleventh Prince was alright, Consort Yi was overjoyed and wept tears of joy.
"Second Brother, Sister (He Xue) thanks you!" Fifth Prince and Ninth Prince said happily.
Consort Yi also held He Xue's hand, "We really owe you all this time, otherwise we don't know what would have happened to Little Eleven!"
"Your Highness, it's a blessing that the Eleventh Prince is so lucky!" After thinking for a moment, He Xue decided to tell Her Highness the result, since it didn't mean that the Eleventh Prince was completely alright.
"Your Highness, next, we need to observe whether Little Eleven has a fever, and we also need to make sure the wound doesn't ooze pus. If none of these problems occur, I believe Little Eleven will get better and better!"
"Okay, I'll have someone keep an eye out!" Although Consort Yi hadn't expected these problems to arise, it was better than watching him die. She firmly believed that Little Eleven would pull through.
When Mario left, he told He Xue that if the Eleventh Prince had a fever, he could use bloodletting to bring the fever down.
He Xue felt that such a barbaric method was unnecessary. As the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, Doctor Liu should be able to handle fever with ease.
"Let's stay here. If anything happens to Little Eleven, we can deal with it promptly!" the Crown Prince said to the group, since it was almost dawn anyway.
“Alright, let’s all stay here!” the eldest prince agreed.
No one else had any objections, since they wouldn't feel comfortable going back anyway.
"Sister-in-law, why don't you take your younger siblings back to rest?" the Crown Prince said to his First Consort.
The First Princess Consort looked at the other Princess Consorts, and they all shook their heads.
"Your Highness, let's stay here too! We can have our court robes sent to the palace later!" said the First Princess Consort.
Seeing this, the crown prince said nothing more.
