"Actually, when you brought the Sixth Prince back to his tent, he was already awake."
"With an arrow piercing through the chest like this, if the arrow wasn't pulled out, the patient would eventually bleed to death. But if it was pulled out, the patient might not be able to catch their breath and would die on the spot. At the time, we imperial physicians didn't dare to make a decision and didn't know what method to use. It was the Sixth Prince himself who said that the arrow should be pulled out."
"We arrived at the camp in a hurry, so the treatment environment here is naturally not as good as in the palace. Without anesthetic and painkillers, the extraction is very painful and dangerous. At the time, several imperial physicians and I were not quite in favor of it. But the Sixth Prince smiled faintly and said one sentence, and we listened to him."
Physician Hu kept staring at An Yuan'er with a meaningful look in his eyes.
An Chaoli asked, "What did the Sixth Prince say back then?"
"The Sixth Prince said that his painkillers are outside. He can't die. He promised her that he would stay with her and that he would stop her from crying. If he dies, she will cry herself to death, so he won't die."
Physician Hu will never forget the Sixth Prince's expression at that time. Such a cold and aloof prince actually had such a gentle expression.
It turns out he was never cold; he just reserved his gentleness for a girl.
Therefore, no one else gets to share in his tenderness.
And who that girl is is obvious.
"The process of pulling out the arrow was extremely dangerous. After the Sixth Prince was given medicine to boost his energy and vitality, they began to pull out the arrow. In all my years of treating patients, this was the first time I had ever seen someone like this. He didn't utter a single sound or cry out in pain. In the middle of it all, I only vaguely heard the Sixth Prince looking out of the camp and saying, 'She seems to be crying outside. Why is she crying?'"
"After the arrow was removed, the Sixth Prince's face was completely pale, but he pulled through. Several of us ministers prescribed him blood-tonifying medicine, and after taking it, his blood and energy will gradually recover."
Although the situation was extremely dangerous, An Chaoli patted his chest upon hearing this: "Thank goodness, thank goodness, we pulled through. It's good that you're recovering."
However, Physician Hu's expression did not relax.
He turned his head, a hint of regret in his voice: "The arrow has been pulled out, but the target is contaminated with an unknown deadly poison. In all my years of medical practice, I have never seen such a poison. This poison will not kill you immediately, but it will slowly weaken your body day by day until you die."
"Is there really no one in the Imperial Medical Academy who can do this?"
Desperate, all the imperial physicians shook their heads.
During a disaster relief trip, Physician Hu gained a deeper understanding of the Sixth Prince. He sincerely hoped that the Sixth Prince could recover, but his abilities were truly limited.
"This old minister can only say that he will do his best. He has already sent people to Shengjing to get the best medicine and will do his utmost to treat the Sixth Prince and help him hold on for a little longer."
The imperial physician said to hold on for a while, not to save the patient.
An Yuan'er listened silently the whole time, and didn't say a word even when Physician Hu mentioned her.
She was unusually quiet, her calmness was unsettling.
An Yuan'er bowed deeply to Physician Hu: "Physician Hu, you have worked hard. Please do your best. Yuan'er thanks you."
After the girl finished speaking politely, she took out a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped away the tears on her face.
Then, she tried to keep smiling, and slowly pushed open the curtain of Yi Chenli's tent and went inside.
