"Do you have a way to cure it?"

Emperor Qingyuan simply asked her directly if she could cure it.

"Yes, we can first drain the blood clots and fluid, then set the ribs, and finally use anti-inflammatory medication to reduce inflammation!"

How do I drain the blood clots and fluid buildup?

"Insert a needle into the chest cavity."

To set a rib, surgery is required!

Upon hearing that surgery was to be performed, Consort Chu immediately screamed.

"Operate him! My Jue'er is a prince, and you actually want to operate on him! What are you up to!"

"I have a heart dedicated to healing and saving lives! If you want to use my methods, this is the one I use. If you don't trust me, then please find someone more skilled!"

Before Consort Chu could say anything, Emperor Qingyuan asked directly.

"How confident are you that you can cure the Fifth Prince?"

"Fifty percent!"

The Imperial Medical Academy's diagnosis was either 10% or 20% chance of curing Xuanyuan Jue, or they had no chance at all.

Emperor Qingyuan immediately made the decision.

"Then let's treat it!"

"Your Majesty! Xie Yushu is going to cut Jue'er with a knife! He's our own son!"

Consort Chu's face was full of disapproval.

Emperor Qingyuan patted her back, comforting her.

"There's no other way now, is there? If we don't make a decision soon, Jue'er's condition will get even worse."

"What's a knife wound to a real man? He'll be back to his old self in a few days."

Emperor Qingyuan made the final decision. Xie Yushu dismissed all the bystanders and ordered someone to prepare a bowl of anesthetic powder for Xuanyuan Jue to drink. Then she prepared for the puncture and surgery.

But Consort Chu insisted on watching Xie Yushu perform the surgery herself, fearing that Xie Yushu would cut her son to death!

The imperial physicians also insisted on staying, firstly to offer Xie Yushu some assistance, and secondly to witness the puncture and surgery Xie Yushu had described.

Emperor Qingyuan actually shared the same idea!

Xie Yushu laughed.

"I'm afraid you can't help me, because you don't recognize the things I'm using."

However, if you insist on staying, I want to emphasize two points.

First, whatever you see, do not suddenly interrupt me, or the Fifth Prince will surely die!

Second, the surgery will definitely involve blood, so you are absolutely not allowed to scream. Everyone must remain completely silent. If anyone suddenly screams and startles me, I can't guarantee what I might cut in a fright!

Also, I need my girl to come in and help; she's been specially trained!

"Granted!"

Emperor Qingyuan immediately ordered Nanxing to be brought in. Xie Yushu had Xuanyuan Jue lifted onto a chair, his chest pressed against the back of the chair, and had him held upright. His upper garment was then removed.

Xie Yushu then took out alcohol for thorough disinfection.

The smell of alcohol wafted out, and one of the imperial physicians underground couldn't help but ask...

"I wonder which wine the princess used? It's so strong and pure. Using this to wipe the wound is much more effective than ordinary wine!"

Xie Yushu answered calmly.

"This is alcohol that I purified myself. Wiping external wounds with it can prevent infection and help the wounds heal faster."

"Alright, I'm going to get started. Everyone stay quiet and have someone bring a basin."

Xie Yushu gave the order, and immediately a maid brought over a basin.

Xie Yushu told her to use a basin to catch the blood when it appears.

Then he patted her back, listened to her to confirm the location of the fluid, disinfected the area, took out the big, thick needle that had once saved Nanxing's father, and quickly inserted it. Blood flowed out as the needle went in, which startled the little girl so much that she almost dropped the basin.

"Hold on tight! Make sure you support the Fifth Prince firmly. Don't move him even a little bit, or the needle tip could damage his internal organs and even a miracle won't save him!"

Consort Chu's eyes widened in horror, and she almost screamed, but Qingyuan quickly covered her mouth.

Emperor Qingyuan was also terrified. He only calmed down a little when he saw that what was flowing out was pus and blood, as well as some blood that was not quite the right color. Once this stuff was expelled, Jue'er would feel much better!

When the imperial physicians saw Xie Yushu plunging such a thick and long needle into the Fifth Prince's back in a flash, they were so frightened that their hearts nearly jumped out of their chests, and their mouths formed an "O." That was the back of the heart; even a tiny bit off could have been fatal!

However, as the blood clots were expelled, the Fifth Prince's breathing became visibly smoother, and everyone in the room realized that Xie Yushu's title of "Divine Physician" was well-deserved.

During the break in the bloodletting, Xie Yushu asked Nanxing to perform an allergy test on Xuanyuan Jue to see if he was resistant to penicillin, lest he die after just one injection!

Although she didn't think much of this guy, she couldn't let him die on her operating table and ruin her reputation.

Nanxing drew some allergy test kit, picked up the Fifth Prince's wrist, peeled off a piece of skin, and injected some medicine.

Consort Chu felt another pang of heartache. Xie Yushu was too much of a troublemaker. If it weren't for the fact that Jue'er was indeed much better than before, she would have dragged Xie Yushu out and given her a beating!

Emperor Qingyuan, seeing that Xie Yushu hadn't undergone surgery yet, asked...

What is this thing?

"It is also a medicine developed by me. It is anti-inflammatory and is specifically used to treat various inflammations and severe infections. In fact, the alcohol and this anti-inflammatory medicine are more suitable for distribution throughout the country, especially on the battlefield, to be used on the wounded, which can reduce the number of deaths."

However, these are all products I've only recently created, and the experimental data is still insufficient. I dare not easily release them into the market. I've left a batch at the mountain villa for my apprentice to conduct experiments and collect data. Once the results are in, I wish to submit these two formulas to the imperial court so that they can realize their maximum value!

Emperor Qingyuan was very pleased upon hearing this, mentally adding ten points to Xie Yushu's rating, and generously praised her.

"Having a minister like you is a blessing for the people of Great Qi, and also a blessing for me!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but I am unworthy of such praise! I have only done my best!"
