“Brother Crown Prince, when I was in Fujian, I met a missionary, a Western doctor named Oreo. She told me that she has a brother named Mario in the capital. We should send someone to find him now; he should be able to help!” He Xue said to the Crown Prince.
"Alright, I'll arrange for someone to go find him right away. Where is he?" the Crown Prince asked.
“Stay at the Xishiku Church! I’ll write a letter and tell him about the situation on November 11th so he can prepare in advance!” After saying this, He Xue immediately wrote another letter and handed it to the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince arranged for the palace guards to go to the Xishiku Church to find Mario.
"Brother Crown Prince, let's prepare first. Once Mario arrives, we can perform the surgery on Eleven!" He Xue said.
"Okay, tell me what to do, and I'll have someone arrange it!"
"Prepare a room and thoroughly clean it with strong liquor, the stronger the better!" He Xue wanted to use this method to disinfect it.
As for the lighting in the room, "the Crown Prince should find some luminous pearls to make the whole room as bright as day!"
"Alright, is there anything else?" the Crown Prince asked.
"That's all I can think of. We'll have to wait for Mario to arrive for the rest!" After all, He Xue wasn't a doctor, so she didn't know much about other things.
I don't know if they still have anesthetic powder available? For stopping the bleeding, you can have Dr. Liu use silver needles. As for the risk of post-operative infection, you should consult Mario.
"Princess!" At this moment, Physician Liu walked up to He Xue.
"Is there something you need, Physician Liu?" He Xue asked, noticing Physician Liu's hesitant expression.
"Princess, when we perform the abdominal surgery on the Eleventh Prince later, may I observe from the side?" Physician Liu asked. He wanted to see for himself how Western doctors performed the surgery; this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
“It should be possible. Mario probably needs help. I even asked Physician Liu to help stop the bleeding of the Eleventh Prince with silver needles!” He Xue then brought up her idea.
She had been thinking about how to talk to Physician Liu, worried that he wouldn't agree, since some of his skills were inherited and not convenient for outsiders to see.
"Princess, rest assured, I will fully cooperate with Doctor Ma!" said Physician Liu.
"Thank you so much, Physician Liu!" He Xue couldn't help but chuckle when she heard Physician Liu address Mario. She didn't say anything in particular, after all, some habits are hard to change in a short time.
Soon the palace guards brought Mario into the palace.
"How come he looks so old? His hair is all white!" the Tenth Prince said to the Fourth Prince beside Mario.
"Their hair color is different from ours, and hair color doesn't indicate their age!" the Fourth Prince explained to the Tenth Prince.
The Tenth Prince nodded, indicating that he understood.
This is Mario's first time visiting the Qing Dynasty's imperial palace. He is filled with curiosity as he travels, but his immediate priority is to save people.
He had also heard Oreo mention knowing a girl from the Qing Dynasty. Seeing that there was only one girl in the room, He Xue, he guessed that He Xue was the one who wrote the letter to him.
“Hello, hello, beautiful lady!” Mario said, extending his hand to Kazuyuki.
Seeing this, the prince immediately stepped in front of He Xue and grabbed Mario's hand, "Hello!"
"Who are you?" Mario asked, frowning as he looked at the prince holding his hand.
“He is the Crown Prince of the Qing Dynasty!” Xue said to Mario.
“Hello, Your Highness the Crown Prince!” Mario said respectfully to the prince.
“Nice to meet you!” the prince said with a smile.
"Do you know kung fu?" Mario asked excitedly.
The prince didn't quite understand what he meant; how did he come across kung fu?
"Brother Crown Prince, he asked if you know kung fu?" He Xue translated for the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince said to He Xue, "Tell her that if she cures Little Eleven, she'll let him experience the might of the Qing Dynasty!"
"Mr. Mario, let's treat the patient first. Once the patient recovers, we'll show you some kung fu!"
“OK!” Mario replied.
He Xue then told Mario about the Eleventh Prince's condition. After hearing this, Mario wanted to see the Eleventh Prince in person to confirm his illness.
The Crown Prince and He Xue accompanied Mario to the Eleventh Prince's room.
