During those anxious days of waiting, every minute and every second felt incredibly long.
Outside the operating room, Qin Qianluo frowned, her eyes filled with worry. She paced back and forth, the sound of her shoes scraping against the floor clearly audible in the quiet corridor.
Qianchao and the others beside her also held their breath, not daring to make a sound, for fear of disturbing her.
Finally, the operating room door slowly opened, and Dr. Xu, exhausted but unable to hide his excitement, announced: "The surgery was a success!"
At that moment, Qin Qianluo's tense nerves relaxed instantly, her eyes reddened slightly, and her heart was filled with relief.
After the surgery, An Yue was placed in a ward, where the monitoring equipment emitted a regular beeping sound, as if it were protecting her life.
Her face was as pale as paper, her eyes were closed, and she lay quietly on the hospital bed. However, the wounds on her body had begun to heal, and her new skin had a faint pinkish hue under the light.
Thanks to the miraculous effects of the spiritual spring water, Dark Moon's injuries healed much faster.
The wound, which originally required a long time to heal, is now scabbing over and improving at a speed visible to the naked eye, which amazes Ling Xue and the others who are taking good care of it.
Physician Xu stayed by Dark Moon's bedside day and night, keeping a close eye on every change in her.
He would occasionally reach out to adjust the IV drip rate or gently inquire about various nursing details. This was his first surgery, and Doctor Xu was very attentive.
Whenever he had a spare moment, he couldn't wait to rush into the study of Prince Jinrui Zhao.
The space was filled with a dazzling array of advanced instruments, each one ingeniously constructed and gleaming with the light of technology, making him unable to resist reaching out to touch and study them.
Those precious medical books, though yellowed with age, were well-preserved. Many of the medical theories and cases recorded on them were things he had never heard of before.
Each page turned is like opening a door to a new realm of medicine.
He stroked the pages of the book, his eyes filled with fascination and rapture, and murmured to himself, "If I can continue to study here diligently, my medical skills will surely reach a new level."
However, Physician Xu knew in his heart that this was just wishful thinking. In order to keep the secret of the space from being exposed, the Emperor had deliberately put on a show for him.
In front of everyone, the emperor flew into a rage, rebuking him for his poor medical skills and ordering him to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors.
The performance was so convincing that it successfully fooled King Jinrui Zhao. Now that the Dark Moon surgery was successful, he had no reason to stay any longer.
Just as he was filled with regret, King Jinrui Zhao found him, his eyes sincere, and his tone gentle, promising: "Physician Xu, please rest assured."
If any medical challenges arise in the future that require further research, I will certainly bring you into this space again.
They also generously allowed him to select many medical books and advanced surgical tools to take with him.
This delighted Physician Xu, whose eyes were filled with gratitude. He quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness's kindness is beyond my ability to repay."
Late that night, all was quiet, and the moonlight shone like water on the streets and alleys of the capital.
Qin Qianluo was dressed in black, the hem of her clothes fluttering gently in the breeze. She moved nimbly, like a nimble night cat, skillfully avoiding the patrolling guards and the occasional passerby.
Soon, she arrived at Physician Xu's residence and gently knocked on the back door. Physician Xu's guards had been waiting for a long time, and upon hearing the signal, they quickly opened the door.
After Qin Qianluo went inside, the servant led her to the study, then turned and left. Seeing that the servant had left, Qin Qianluo then led Physician Xu out of the space.
Standing outside the mansion, under the moonlight, Qin Qianluo looked solemn and thanked Physician Xu again with earnest words: "Physician Xu."
"Thanks to your help, Darkmoon was given a chance to live. I will forever remember your great kindness. Please don't hesitate to ask if you need anything in the future."
Physician Xu quickly waved his hand and replied humbly, "Your Highness, you are too kind. Saving lives is the duty of a physician. Being able to learn this surgery is a rare experience for me."
What I have seen and heard in space these past few days has benefited me immensely.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Qin Qianluo turned and left. Her figure gradually disappeared into the moonlight and soon vanished into the night as she returned to her residence.
Time flows like a gentle stream, passing by unnoticed. In the blink of an eye, the New Year's Day festival is approaching once again.
Standing on the street, one sees familiar alleyways, where people move about, their faces filled with anticipation for the New Year, busily preparing for the festival.
The market was bustling with activity, with a dazzling array of New Year's goods filling the stalls. Brightly colored couplets, exquisite lanterns, and fragrant pastries—everything exuded a strong festive atmosphere.
Children ran and laughed among the crowd, clutching their newly bought toys tightly in their hands, their clear laughter echoing in the air like silver bells.
However, upon closer inspection, the differences become apparent.
Whether in ordinary people's homes or officials' residences, the changes on the dining table are particularly noticeable.
The once somewhat monotonous meals have now been completely transformed. Chicken, duck, fish, and meat are neatly arranged on the plates, their colors enticing and their aroma irresistible.
There are also various fresh vegetables, carefully cooked and perfectly combined.
The exquisite pastries, each with its own unique shape and festive colors, add a touch of warmth and sweetness to the holiday table.
Qin Qianluo silently witnessed all these changes, and a feeling of joy welled up in her heart.
She thought to herself that the promotion of poultry had already achieved initial success, and it was time to add another bright spot to people's diet.
Qin Qianluo quickly conceived a plan: it was time to introduce novel ways to cook poultry, as well as delicious dishes like hot pot and barbecue.
Although she herself was not an expert in cooking, she had a deep belief in the wisdom and creativity of the people.
