Chapter 1968 Broken Leg
The next morning, all the imperial physicians who were on duty at the Imperial Medical Bureau stood before Prince Gong.
After everyone had looked and confirmed that there was really no other way to correct it, the emperor turned his gaze to Prince Gong's legs.
Prince Gong was also a little nervous. Actually, he didn't feel much pain at the moment, but being stared at like that by everyone, he felt a burst of pain in his legs, especially where his calf was broken.
The imperial doctors naturally did not have the ability to break the leg. What if the blow failed and Prince Gong suffered in vain?
So the emperor summoned Yin Li.
Manbao glanced at Yin Li worriedly, and then, as ordered, stepped forward to explain to them the details of Prince Gong's broken leg. He explained which leg was broken, what the fracture surface looked like, and why it was crooked now...
She also gave a suggestion to the broken leg again, thinking that how to use force would have a higher success rate. All this was naturally due to the help of Koko's scan data, otherwise she would not be able to explain it in such detail.
Xiao Yuanzheng and others found that there was nothing more to add, so they nodded to indicate that Yin Li could start.
Yin Li: ...
Yin Li stepped forward and touched Prince Gong's broken leg. As a military commander, he knew it was not difficult to break or crush a person's leg, but he wanted to repeat the original wound...
Yin Li fumbled for a long time, but finally knelt on the ground and refused, "Your Majesty, I am not sure."
The emperor frowned, and after a while he stepped forward and pinched Prince Gong's leg, but finally took the stick himself.
Prince Gong was so frightened when he saw the wooden stick that was as thick as a small fist that he swallowed several times. He quickly pulled his legs back from the stool, feeling a little regretful. "Father, Father, let's forget it..."
The emperor, who had been hesitant at first, glared at him and said, "Do you want to be a cripple for the rest of your life? Since we've already made our plan, we must carry it out now."
After that, the other two held Prince Gong down, lifted his legs onto the chair and put them in place. Manbao stepped aside, couldn't help but shrink his neck and close his eyes, then quietly opened his eyes and looked...
Even she, a bystander, was so scared, let alone Prince Gong, who was almost crying and shouted, "Father, how about we wait a few days and see..."
Xiao Yuanzheng gave Doctor Zheng a look, and Doctor Zheng immediately pulled out a piece of wood wrapped in cloth from his sleeve and stepped forward, saying, "Your Highness, I'm sorry."
After saying this, she stuffed the piece of wood into Prince Gong's mouth, just like a woman about to give birth.
The emperor nodded in satisfaction, then pointed at Zhou Man and said, "What do you think is the best way to continue the fight?"
Manbao gestured and said, "Apply force diagonally, about a 45-degree angle. The force should be neither too strong nor too weak, and avoid affecting other bones..."
The emperor experienced the suffering of the imperial physician and looked at his son's legs with a frown. Prince Gong was already crying, but his hands and legs were pressed down and his mouth was blocked, so he could only express his rejection with his eyes.
The emperor felt sorry for him in other matters, but was unwilling to compromise with him in this matter. Besides, it was just a broken bone, and the emperor, who had survived many life-and-death experiences on the battlefield, didn't think it was a big deal.
He comforted himself like this, then his eyes became fierce, he raised the stick and knocked it down...
Prince Gong opened his eyes wide, the pain made his whole body tense up, then his eyes dimmed, his head tilted and he fainted.
Doctor Zheng and others immediately rushed forward to rescue her. When Xiao Yuanzheng stepped forward, he saw Manbao still had her eyes closed, so he pulled her up.
Manbao immediately opened one eye, and seeing that the dust had settled, he hurried forward.
Prince Gong's leg was broken again, this time it was broken very completely, with two bones broken in a row. In addition to the original broken bone, another bone was also broken.
What's not so good is that although the original bone was broken, the cross-section did not completely overlap with the previous one.
After Xiao Yuanzheng and the other imperial physicians examined the patient, they decided to take advantage of this opportunity to straighten the crooked bone since the leg was broken. There should be a high probability that it could be restored.
Xiao Yuanzheng knelt on the ground and said, "...but straightening the crooked bones requires a lot of willpower. I wonder if Prince Gong can endure it."
The emperor also knew that the probability of getting exactly the same answer was rather low. Even if he knew the answer, he was still somewhat disappointed. He sighed and asked, "Why is it correct?"
Xiao Yuanzheng said: "Stretching the bones, there is a certain possibility that the bones can be stretched."
The emperor frowned. "If you can stretch it, why do you have to break your legs to stretch it? Why couldn't you stretch it before?"
Xiao Yuanzheng: "...The bones have already grown, and it would be difficult to straighten them even if they were stretched. This is only possible because the bones are broken, and the breakpoints include the normally crooked bones."
Xiao Yuanzheng emphasized, "It's just a possibility, and His Royal Highness Prince Gong may not be able to endure the pain."
The emperor thought to himself, my legs have been broken again, what else can I not endure?
He said, "You guys pull, I'll watch from the side."
Xiao Yuanzheng breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but emphasize again, "Even if it can be stretched, if it can't be completely straightened, it will most likely still limp a little. However, we will work hard to minimize this possibility."
So, after treating the wound, the imperial doctors waited for Prince Gong to wake up.
As soon as Prince Gong woke up, Manbao, who is currently recognized as an expert in bone repair, rolled up his sleeves and went forward to ask for his diagnosis.
Prince Gong was still a little dazed. The familiar pain in his leg came back again. No, it was more painful than before. He looked at Zhou Man, opened his mouth, and found that his throat was a little dry.
The palace maid immediately brought tea to him. He took a sip before asking in a hoarse voice, "How is it?"
Manbao raised his eyelids, glanced at him, and said, "Two bones are broken, but not completely broken in the previous wound. Your Highness, I will examine you now. I will ask you where it hurts and why it hurts. You must tell me..."
Prince Gong was completely dazed. "It didn't break? Then didn't this blow go to waste?"
Manbao said, "It's not in vain. As long as you can endure the pain, at least you won't be as lame as before."
In fact, she was still a little curious, "How did you use so much force to make the broken leg, which had already been partially reattached and grown, become bent like that?"
Prince Gong stared at Zhou Man with a gloomy expression.
Manbao didn't take it seriously. After checking, he stepped aside and told Xiao Yuanzheng and others about the injury. Only after he left did he realize that the emperor had been standing behind the tent watching them.
Several imperial physicians discussed the matter and, after deciding on a treatment plan, they applied an anti-swelling ointment to Prince Gong's legs, tied him up with a wooden board, and went to get the medicine.
Not only Prince Gong, but the emperor was also a little confused and asked, "Is the bone set?"
"Your Majesty," Xiao Yuanzheng said, "The leg still needs to be swollen. Once the swelling is gone, it will be easier to stretch the bones. Otherwise, stretching the leg now will cause some serious damage, and Prince Gong may not be able to endure it."
The emperor was a little disappointed, as he thought he could take it today.
