"We at Dawei have developed an anesthetic formula that can relieve your pain. During the treatment, you basically won't feel any pain, but you still need to hold on after the effect of the drug wears off."
Edward breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
He had experienced the pain afterwards, and it was much better than when he had just fallen, and it was bearable.
"Thank you, Princess. Can you give me a day to prepare and think about it?"
"Of course, no problem. But I am not going to treat you, I also have requirements. I hope you will use glass production technology as a reward. At the same time, I will provide you with all the medicines you need for the next treatment."
After a day of consideration, Edward agreed to the surgery two days later.
However, the news that Edward was going to have his legs treated by an oriental witch doctor caused an uproar in the castle.
Edward's leg was injured when he fell off a horse and was stepped on by the horse. It was such a serious injury that he could not receive treatment at all.
Edward's personal witch doctor, a bearded old man, got the news and hurried to Edward, angrily objecting.
"Mr. Marquis, it is absolutely wrong to let a foreign woman treat you with such a barbaric method. Who knows what kind of witchcraft she will perform."
"Dr. Morris," Jack retorted, "you have treated my father for so many years. Have you ever relieved his pain?"
The old witch doctor blushed: "This is God's test for the Marquis. Pain makes people pious."
Yu Zheng heard this and sneered.
This is brainwashing by the God they believe in.
"Okay, Mr. Morris, I believe in this princess of Wei. She is the most famous witch doctor in Wei. Her husband was cured by her just like me.
You see, Mr. Shangguan is no different from a normal person, so I must treat him." Edward was determined and not affected by anything.
"You..., Lord Marquis, if you insist, I will no longer be responsible for your legs in the future." Morris felt that he had done something wrong, so he was proud of himself.
"Okay, you'd better watch me treat people. I'll let you see my medical skills. Don't think that your medical skills are unmatched just because you have saved a few people." Edward was also angered by the old witch doctor's attitude.
On the third day, in a sunny room, Yu Zheng prepared the tools and medicines needed and began to perform surgery on Edward.
In addition to Jack, there were several Estrella nobles and Morris in the room, watching with either curiosity or disdain.
These people asked to watch the entire thing on the grounds that they cared about Edward.
Yu Zheng did nothing, which made them drop their jaws in shock.
Without her careful instruction, it would be impossible to learn her skills just by watching her once.
This time she asked Shangguan Ziqi to help her.
After disinfecting the room, Yu Zheng asked the onlookers to put on clean clothes, wear masks, and stay ten feet away from the bed where she was performing the operation.
Yu Zheng first carefully examined Edward's right leg, gently pressing various parts with her fingers, and asking about the degree and nature of the pain from time to time.
After understanding the situation clearly, I gave him some anesthetic hot medicine.
Soon, his eyelids became heavy and he quickly fell asleep.
Just one move made the onlookers incredible.
Yu Zheng took out a row of silver needles as thin as hair from the needle bag she carried with her.
"What is this for?" Dr. Morris asked warily.
"Acupuncture. By stimulating specific acupuncture points, it can unblock the meridians and prevent blood from flowing too quickly." Yu Yuzheng explained kindly, but he probably didn't understand.
When the first silver needle pierced an acupuncture point on Edward's leg, a gasp was heard in the room.
Yu Yuzheng turned the silver needle with great concentration, adjusting the depth from time to time.
After getting the positions right, she pointed to one spot and said, "Husband, hit it hard here."
Shangguan Ziqi showed no mercy and attacked with a knife.
A "click" sound was heard by everyone.
"Oh, my God," Morris exclaimed, and then crossed himself.
The others looked at the sleeping Edward in surprise.
"The Marquis can still sleep. Doesn't he feel pain?" A middle-aged man in gentleman's clothes frowned.
"He doesn't feel any pain. Her Royal Highness the Princess said that the drug she fed to the Marquis is an anesthetic that can numb the sense of pain." William explained to everyone.
The first time Jack saw Yu Zheng treating his father, he was relieved to see that his father really didn't feel anything.
Then Yu Zheng followed the steps meticulously.
Peel off the skin and flesh, then look carefully at the bones, then remove the growths that have grown over the years, and then clean the joints.
Then reconnect the bones and finally restore the peeled flesh.
The onlookers kept exclaiming in amazement.
During the whole process, Edward didn't bleed much and didn't wake up.
They strongly suspected that Edward was dead.
But seeing Edward's chest rising and falling with his breathing, it showed that he was just asleep.
Everyone was so shocked by Yu Zheng's move that they couldn't recover for a long time.
After the operation was over and the splint was put on, they were all fine looking at Edward.
Everyone was stunned with shock.
"Jack, the surgery is over. Just wait for your father to wake up, and then take good care of his injury. You can't move this leg for a month. You must take care of him and pay attention to his diet. I'll write you a list later, and you feed him according to the list."
Jack came to his senses when he heard the sound of a zither.
Jack knelt on one knee excitedly: "Your Highness, you are simply an angel descended from heaven!"
At this time, Edward also woke up slowly. The anesthetic had worn off and he felt some pain, but it was bearable.
He saw the splint on his leg and knew the operation was over.
"I'm still alive?" Edward's eyes were very bright.
"Mr. Edward, of course you are still alive. As long as you heal your injuries and rehabilitate according to my instructions, you will be able to be like a normal person." Yu Yuzheng said affirmatively.
"That's great, thank you." Edward was very happy.
The news quickly spread throughout the castle and even into the city.
That afternoon, a clergyman who claimed to be the bishop's envoy came to the castle to visit Edward.
Then he asked to see Yu Yuzheng.
Before he came, he had already found out the identities of Yu Yuzheng and others.
The man went straight to find Yu Zheng without Edward's consent.
"Your Highness, your witchcraft in treating the Marquis has attracted the attention of the church. I must warn you that any witchcraft that is not approved by the church may be regarded as harmful witchcraft."
The serious-looking clergyman got straight to the point.
Shangguan Ziqi stood in front of his wife, his eyes sharp as a knife: "My wife used medical skills to save people, how can it be called witchcraft?"
"Prince Rong, my dear Esther, you must always follow the guidance of the church. Especially witchcraft from foreign countries."
He looked at Yu Yuzheng and Shangguan Ziqi meaningfully.
