In less than half an hour, Lu Yuyan was brought over by Feng Yan.
When Lu Yuyan saw Lu Yucheng like this, he was also shocked.
Zhu Yu and Lu Xiaoyun asked in unison, "Can you save him?"
Lu Yuyan's expression was grave: "It's hard to say. Bring a light, the brighter the better. We need to operate immediately."
At this moment, Zhu Dan also heard the news and rushed over, carrying two large luminous pearls in his hand.
Before Lu Yuyan arrived, he ordered Jiang Chuan and others to fetch several bronze mirrors and have them fixed around the perimeter according to his requirements.
Zhu Dan and Lu Xiaoyun flew up and fixed the two luminous pearls at opposite corners. They then took several glass lamps and illuminated the entire prison.
The imperial physician stared at all this in disbelief, then looked down and found there were no shadows. What was the principle behind this? He rubbed his eyes, somewhat incredulous that such a wonderful method existed in the world.
"Everyone except the imperial physician, go out and boil some more hot water," Lu Yuyan ordered, his expression more serious than ever before.
The crowd immediately poured out of the prison.
A jailer had already run off to fetch hot water.
After this incident, the warden moved all the prisoners on this side to the other side and ordered them not to make any noise.
Lu Xiaoyun's hands were trembling slightly. She could only maintain a calm facade, but she was actually very panicked. She was afraid that even Ayan couldn't save her brother.
Zhu Yu held Lu Xiaoyun's hand tightly; both of their hands were ice-cold. He knew that Lu Yucheng was very important to Lu Xiaoyun.
Although he wasn't her biological brother, perhaps because of blood ties, he knew that Lu Xiaoyun actually liked the original owner's older brother very much and had long regarded him as her own brother.
Even during his time with Lu Yucheng, he had long since come to regard him as his own brother.
Lu Yucheng is a really good older brother. He lacked the love of his relatives since childhood, but in the past six months in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, he has felt the love from his family.
When his brother had free time, he would style his hair into all sorts of pretty buns, give him all sorts of little trinkets, take him shopping, and always shield him from danger.
I can't lose such a good brother.
And what about Qi Wanting? What will happen to Qi Wanting if something happens to her brother?
They had only recently gotten married.
Zhu Dan stood on the other side of Lu Xiaoyun and gently patted her shoulder: "Don't worry, everything will be alright. Ayan can save him!"
It definitely can!
Zhu Dan could clearly feel Lu Xiaoyun's body trembling; she was terrified.
Lu Xiaoyun turned her head and looked at him intently.
Zhu Dan nodded slightly to her: "You know how amazing Ayan's medical skills are, you should have faith in him."
Lu Xiaoyun forced back her tears and said, "Okay."
Jia Si, the Prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, who had only been in office for half a year, dragged his trembling legs and stumbled over. He had just left the prefectural office when a murder occurred outside the capital. He had just returned with his men after investigating the scene when he heard this shocking news, which almost made him faint.
Trembling, he walked to Zhu Dan and Lu Xiaoyun, then knelt down with a thud, his knees slamming heavily. He said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, Prince An, Duke Zhenguo, I am guilty. It was my oversight that caused such a serious incident. It is all my responsibility. Please punish me, Your Highness."
The usually gentle Zhu Dan's face was now icy cold. She kicked Jia Si to the ground and said, "Jia Si, how dare you neglect your duties! If anything happens to the Crown Prince Lu, I will not let you off easily!"
Jia Si dared not argue, and could only keep kowtowing and admitting his mistake.
Lu Xiaoyun's face was icy cold, and she didn't even glance at Jia Si.
Zhu Dan walked into the interrogation room, where all the jailers were kneeling in a row. The one called Lao He had already been tied to the rack and whipped.
The man had been beaten to the point of near death and dared not hide it any longer. Someone searched his house and found a large sum of silver.
He thought about it carefully. When the officials from the Jingzhao Prefecture took Fang away that day, Fang did seem to have such a hairpin on her head. The hairpin looked ordinary, but who knew that there was something special inside.
Deep inside the prison, on a makeshift operating table, Lu Yucheng lay quietly, his face as white as paper, while Lu Yuyan did his best to save him.
He used scissors to cut off Lu Yucheng's clothes at the chest, disinfected the area around the wound, and carefully examined the place where the hairpin was inserted.
Fortunately, the imperial physician did not impulsively pull out the hairpin; otherwise, given the limited effectiveness of the hemostatic medicines available in the Imperial Hospital, Lu Yucheng would have already died from excessive blood loss before he even arrived.
Without X-rays, Lu Yuyan could only determine the insertion position based on the length and angle of the hairpin.
The imperial physician's forehead was covered in sweat. He muttered to himself, "This young master Lu is probably finished. He'll have to retire and return to his hometown in a few years. In the end, he'll have a life on his hands."
But he dared not ask, and only stared intently at Lu Yucheng's every move.
After examining the area, Lu Yuyan let out a slight sigh of relief.
It's hard to say whether Lu Yucheng was lucky or Fang was too panicked at the time, as the hairpin was less than half an inch away from his heart.
Fortunately, Lu Yuyi used his small body to knock Fang Shi away; otherwise, Lu Yucheng would already be a corpse by now.
Fortunately, the jailers had some common sense and didn't move Lu Yucheng rashly. Although he had lost a lot of blood, it wasn't enough to kill him. Otherwise, in this ancient era where blood type couldn't be tested and there was no equipment for blood transfusions, Lu Yucheng would have had a very difficult time surviving.
Lu Yuyan found the right angle and instructed the imperial physician to immediately apply the hemostatic powder the moment he pulled out the hairpin. The imperial physician listened attentively, his hands trembling slightly with nervousness.
He had never treated injuries like this before. In his eyes, Prince Lu was already sentenced to death. Now it was just a matter of whether this Mr. Lu from the Prince An's Mansion could truly bring the dead back to life.
Lu Yuyan held his breath, found the right angle, and pulled hard. Blood gushed out with a "poof". The imperial physician immediately sprinkled hemostatic powder on it and stared at it without blinking. He didn't even dare to blink when the blood splattered into his eyes.
He was somewhat skeptical that this hemostatic powder could stop the bleeding from such a wound.
He knew about the hemostatic powder in the Imperial Hospital. The hemostatic powder he just brought was the best one in the Imperial Hospital. However, after applying it, it could only slowly slow down the bleeding and could not stop the bleeding immediately.
It was clear that Prince Lu's condition could not tolerate any more bloodshed.
The wound was quite deep, but fortunately it was just a hairpin, not a dagger, so the wound wasn't wide. Otherwise, it would have needed to be stitched up, which would have been a difficult situation.
Hairpins are inherently unclean because they are worn on the head, and after so many days in this dark and damp prison, they must have a lot of bacteria on them. Lu Yuyan quickly cleaned and disinfected the wound, and then bandaged it with white gauze.
This hemostatic powder was something he prepared at the manor during this period. Zhu Chen's assassination attempt also injured many guards, some of whom were seriously wounded, so he simply didn't use any expensive medicinal herbs when preparing it.
After the hemostatic powder was applied, the wound was still bleeding, but the bleeding rate had obviously slowed down a lot, and gradually, the bleeding really stopped.
Lu Yuyan and the imperial physician exchanged a glance and breathed a long sigh of relief.
It seems Lu Yucheng's life was not meant to end.
