Chapter 317 She doesn’t know whether to gamble

"Mother, I am Qiong Ying."

Hearing his daughter's voice, Shen Liuzheng ordered someone to open the door.

"Why is Qiongying here?" She smiled and touched her daughter's head.

In front of outsiders, she always appears serious and cold, because her little tenderness is reserved for her daughter.

"Mother, I have made up my mind. I want the divine doctor to treat my face." Lu Qiongying said word by word.

"But that would require using a knife to open up all your scars, dig out that piece of flesh, and then reapply medicine. It would be very painful." Shen Liuzheng frowned slightly, with heartache in her eyes.

"Moreover, the final result may not be what you want."

Tiannanxing said it very clearly that it cannot guarantee restoration to its original state, but only said that it is likely to be removed.

She didn't know whether to gamble.

If the injury was on her, she would definitely choose treatment without hesitation, but she didn't dare to take the risk when it was on her daughter.

"Mother, you once said that on the battlefield, we can use a small force to achieve a big victory when necessary. I think it is very necessary now." Lu Qiongying looked at her mother seriously.

Although she has gradually accepted the scars on her face, she still feels sad when she sees them in the mirror.

Now that she has the chance to regain her former appearance, she won't let it go.

Shen Liuzheng looked at his daughter's unwavering expression and let out a long sigh.

"Qiongying has grown up."

The tone seemed both relieved and worried.

"Since you have made up your mind, mother will not stop you. Mother and Qiong Hua will both accompany you." Shen Liuzheng bent down and gently held her daughter in her arms.

"Yeah!" With the support of his mother, Lu Qiongying felt more confident.

The next morning, Shen Liuzheng summoned Tiannanxing.

"We've decided to treat her face." Lu Qiongying held her mother's hand and spoke in a firm tone.

"Okay, I will prepare it right away." Tiannanxing did not persuade him any further.

He has already said what he should have said.

Next, it all depends on fate.

"Don't be afraid, Fifth Sister. I'm here for you." Lu Qionghua bit her lip and looked even more nervous than her.

"I'm not afraid." Lu Qiongying smiled.

She was actually the calmest one in the room.

"Even if we fail, isn't the worst outcome the same as it is now?"

Her casual words stunned Shen Liuzheng and Lu Qionghua.

"You're right. No matter how bad the result is, how bad can it be?" Shen Liuzheng also laughed.

"Our Qiong Ying is really very wise."

In the past, she always thought that Qiong Ying was not as smart as Qiong Hua, but now it seems that Qiong Ying is not stupid, but she has her own way of dealing with people.

"Hehe." Lu Qiongying smiled and didn't say much.

Tiannanxing quickly prepared the tools.

These tools were the suggestions made by Qu Fufeng to the Imperial Medical Hospital.

The steel knife is roasted over fire and then sterilized with strong liquor.

The breweries in the capital have already developed the kind of strong liquor that Qu Fufeng mentioned, which can be used to disinfect wounds.

And clean gauze.

These have been tested on wounded soldiers.

Military doctors found that the death rate of injured soldiers decreased after using these tools, so these tools spread in the Imperial Hospital.

The Imperial Hospital also established what Qu Fufeng called an "operating room."

Everyone entering must wear clean clothes disinfected with alcohol.

Mugwort was burned in the operating room for fumigation to prevent mosquitoes from flying in.

A large number of candles were also lit, and mirrors were used to reflect the light to make the entire operating room brighter.

"Fifth sister, I will be gentler and try not to hurt you too much." Lu Heng's hands were shaking as he spoke.

The master was responsible for picking at the scar and digging out the flesh, while he was responsible for applying the medicine.

"No, just hurry up. The faster you finish, the less suffering I will suffer." Lu Qiongying shook her head.

Lu Heng: ...

He made a mistake.

"Okay, Fifth Sister, I'll be quick." He nodded honestly and disinfected his hands.

He learned this set of procedures from the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital, and it was said that it was strongly requested by Lord Qu.

"Fifth Princess, drink this first." Tian Nanxing handed a bowl of prepared painkillers to Lu Qiongying.

Lu Qiongying drank it all without hesitation.

"It's so bitter." She couldn't help but stick out her tongue and complain.

"Good medicine tastes bitter." Shen Liuzheng comforted her daughter.

In order to prevent any accidents from happening during the process, Tian Nanxing asked both her and Lu Qionghua to stay.

Tiannanxing handed over another handkerchief soaked in anesthetic.

"Fifth Princess, cover your mouth and nose and take a few deep breaths. You will fall asleep soon. Once you fall asleep, the pain will go away."

Lu Qiongying was skeptical, but still did it.

Sure enough, after taking a few deep breaths, she passed out.

"Godly Doctor, I hope Fifth Sister won't wake up from the pain." Lu Qionghua looked at his unconscious sister with a worried look on his face.

"It's possible." Tian Nanxing said expressionlessly.

"So I need you two to stay and hold her down. If she wakes up in pain and struggles violently, you have to control her. Otherwise, my hands might shake and cut somewhere else."

Shen Liuzheng and Lu Qionghua both became nervous when they heard this.

Just stand aside and wait for orders at any time.

"Let's start." Seeing Lu Qiongying fall asleep, Tian Nanxing lowered his head and began to move.

His hands are fast and steady.

Shen Liuzheng's eyes suddenly turned red as she watched him pick open the scar on his daughter's face, revealing the tender pink flesh.

The pain caused the unconscious Lu Qiongying to twitch.

Shen Liuzheng and Lu Qionghua were so anxious that they almost rushed over.

Fortunately, she just shook slightly, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Time passed little by little, and the candle was half burned.

Lu Qiongying woke up.

She bit her lip and tears rolled down her eyes.

"Fifth sister, don't cry." Lu Heng took the medicine and wanted to wipe her tears, but he was afraid of delaying the speed of applying the medicine, so he stamped his feet in anxiety.

"I'm not crying, hurry up." Lu Qiongying's voice was tinged with tears, but she still insisted that she didn't cry.

Lu Heng didn't dare to say any more nonsense and hurriedly continued to apply the medicine.

The cool ointment applied to the wound relieved the burning pain.

Lu Qiongying breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could feel happy, she felt a piercing pain in her hand.

"Don't be afraid, Qiongying, mother is here." Shen Liuzheng's face was already filled with tears as she looked at her daughter who was holding on.

She took out a handkerchief and wiped away Lu Qiongying's tears to prevent her tears from washing away the ointment she had just applied.

"As long as my mother is here, I'm not afraid." Lu Qiongying took a breath of cool air and tried to comfort her with a smile.

Shen Liuzheng shed tears silently.

She would rather be the one who is in pain now.

Lu Qionghua helped apply the medicine silently.

Tiannanxing began to look at Lu Qiongying with some admiration.

A nine-year-old girl is so patient. She will definitely achieve great things in the future.

He quickened his movements.

The other scars on the body didn't matter, but Lu Qiongying decided to remove the ones on the face, arms and a large area on the chest.

Otherwise, it won’t look good to wear open-necked clothes in summer.

After removing the scar, she can show her arms without hesitation.

No more bundling up tightly in the hot summer.

So Tiannanxing respected her decision and dug out all the scars for her.

By the time the operation was over, Lu Qiongying's lips were all bitten.

"Are you ready?" she asked in a trembling voice.
