The reason is that surgery also requires assistance.
So she used up her last bit of luck points to get a set of surgical instruments, carefully pulled out the barbed arrow from Chu Heng's back, disinfected and sutured it, all in one go.
The military doctor and Yun Tianbai were greatly shocked.
Can this wound be sewn up like a piece of clothing?
With a gentle smile, she explained the benefits of suturing the wound, and then went over the precautions for disinfection and stitching in detail with them.
The military doctor repeatedly expressed his gratitude.
Yun Tianbai's gaze was complicated.
Having served in the military for many years, he knew that many wounded soldiers who barely escaped death on the battlefield often lost their lives after returning to camp because their wounds failed to heal.
Now, after being brainwashed by You Ran, he understood that inadequate disinfection and repeated wound infections were the main causes of death.
With a more relaxed approach, the mortality rate of wounded soldiers on the battlefield would be greatly reduced.
...
In the middle of the night, the masked guard named Jia Nan found You Ran and stood anxiously outside, saying, "His Highness the Crown Prince has a high fever and can't take any medicine. The army doctor is at a loss. Please, Your Highness, go and see him, for the sake of His Highness taking that arrow for you!"
You Ran was initially quite annoyed at being woken up from her sleep, but upon hearing this, she had no choice but to suppress her dissatisfaction, tidy herself up, and follow along.
Upon entering Chu Heng's room, they indeed saw that his cheeks were flushed, his forehead was burning hot, but he did not sweat at all.
You Ran didn't want to say much. She directed the military doctor and Jia Nan to strip Chu Yu of his clothes and use strong liquor to wipe him down and cool him down physically.
She had previously performed acupuncture and surgery on Chu Yu, and now seeing Chu Yu lying naked on the bed, especially with the arrow wound on his back wrapped up tightly, she felt heartbroken.
Even the most gentle and refined gentleman would surely be scarred by such a large dent on his back near his heart.
No, why are you thinking about scars right now?
She had the two men turn him over and continue to cool him down with strong liquor.
A moment later, she touched her forehead again with her hand. The temperature seemed to have dropped, but it was still very hot. She had no idea how hot it was.
No, I'll write to my fourth uncle later and ask if the glass factory can make a mercury thermometer or something.
at the moment……
She gritted her teeth and pulled a thermometer out of her sleeve.
Fortunately, this mercury thermometer is inexpensive to manufacture and was discarded in the apocalypse, costing only 1 point of luck.
The military doctor and Jia Nan watched in bewilderment as the county princess stuffed something into His Highness's armpit, then pulled it out after a while and stared at it for a long time, completely baffled as to what the county princess intended.
When You Ran saw that the temperature was as high as 40 degrees Celsius, she was also startled. She sighed and took out a box of antipyretics from her sleeve.
She calmly peeled the pill out and put it into Chu Yu's mouth, while instructing Jia Nan, "Give His Highness water so that he can swallow this medicine."
“Yes.” Jia Nan had no doubt about the county princess’s actions and immediately did as she was told.
The military doctor asked with great curiosity, "May I ask, Your Highness, what is this medicine...?"
He calmly replied, "It's a medicine I made myself to reduce high fever."
The military doctor nodded and asked no further questions.
These days, who practicing medicine doesn't have some folk remedies or secret medicines?
Jia Nan managed to force the water down her throat.
You Ran casually asked, "Has the poison in Your Highness been cured?"
When she left, her master, Physician Gu, had already returned to the capital. He should have cured her of the poison, right?
Jia Nan paused and glanced at the military doctor.
The military doctor understood immediately, bowed, and took his leave, since there was nothing more for him to do here.
Jia Nan then said in a low voice, "Princess, although Physician Gu has cured the residual poison that His Highness was born with, he discovered after the cure that His Highness still has a Gu worm in his body. What really causes him to have poisoning attacks every now and then is that poisonous herb lured the Gu worm to wreak havoc in his body. Now that the poisonous herb and residual poison have been removed, the Gu worm is still there."
His expression darkened. "Doctor Gu said that if the Gu worms are not eliminated, His Highness may only have a year or two left to live..."
With a sigh, she realized that this was the real reason why Chu Heng died young in his previous life.
After being deposed in his previous life, the crown prince disappeared without a trace, perhaps he went into hiding...
However... she knew nothing about this Gu worm.
She shrugged, indicating that she couldn't help, yawned, and prepared to go back to camp to continue sleeping.
"His Highness has only just recovered, and he followed the County Princess all the way here..." Jia Nan suddenly knelt down in front of her, "County Princess! Please save His Highness!"
You Ran sighed, "Even my master is helpless against this Gu worm, and I know nothing about it. I'm afraid I'm powerless to do anything about it."
Jia Nan quickly shook her head, "No, I meant tonight. His Highness was delirious with fever just now and kept calling your name, Your Highness... Although His Highness just took your medicine, I don't know if he swallowed it... If the high fever doesn't subside, I'm afraid I'll have to disturb Your Highness's sleep again. I beg Your Highness to stay and take care of His Highness. I will stay outside the tent the whole time!"
You Ran: ...
"You're afraid he'll get a high fever again and disturb my sleep, so you're forcing me to stay here all night to take care of him? You've got quite the scheme!"
Jia Nan kowtowed heavily to the ground. "Your subordinate deserves to die! But please, Your Highness, consider that His Highness was injured while saving you, and wait until His Highness's fever subsides before leaving! Your subordinate is truly afraid that something might happen to His Highness if his fever continues!"
You Ran glared at him angrily for a moment, but finally had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Why? Because she was the one who was rescued.
"I really owe you something!" After Jia Nan left, she threw the cloth aside with a hint of resentment, covered Chu Heng with the blanket, and sat down speechlessly, staring at Chu Heng's handsome face.
He certainly has a handsome face that could bring ruin to a country, but why do he do things that are so persistent and annoying?
I don't know how much time passed.
"You Ran... You Ran..." She vaguely heard Chu Heng talking in his sleep. She leaned closer to listen and heard him say, "You Ran, you can't die..."
"Pah! Pah! Pah!" She immediately flew into a rage, wanting to slap him, but then, remembering he was a patient, she gently patted his cheek instead, her tone still furious, "What kind of person is he, cursing me to die?! Even if you die, I won't!"
Perhaps it was her slap that woke Chu Heng up.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw You Ran, who looked furious, standing close by. His gaze gradually deepened from astonishment.
A slow smile spread across his lips. "You Ran, am I dreaming?"
