178 Injured, Uncle Nine is Serious

The Left Prime Minister committed treason, and except for the Zhu family, all officials who had contact with him were subject to purge.

Although the emperor lost face in this matter, he finally caught the country's parasite and avoided another catastrophe for the Dongling Dynasty.

The emperor recovered quickly and summoned Yuwen Yuanhua to the palace that night. He pushed all the blame on Prime Minister Zhu. To show his trust in Yuwen Yuanhua, he appointed Yuwen Yuanhua to be fully responsible for trying the case of Zuo Xiang.

During this period, Yuwen Yuanhua was very busy, running around in the imperial city every day with a group of soldiers.

You know, this is an excellent opportunity to eliminate dissidents. At this time, as long as you say that you are a member of Zhu's party, you will be severely punished by having your property confiscated and beheaded, or at the least dismissed from office and exiled.

Yuwen Yuanhua showed no mercy and displayed his tough military style. He took this opportunity to eliminate all the thorns that the emperor had placed in the army, as well as those people in the court that the Ninth Prince had said to be eliminated.

Outside Wumen, tens of thousands of heads were beheaded in just seven days. The executioners were so tired that their arms became weak and they didn't even have the strength to hold chopsticks.

The national treasury also reaped great rewards, but of course the one who benefited the most was Yuwen Yuanhua.

Traitors, their property was confiscated and their clans were exterminated. All the officials in Dongling were rich. The wealth seized from the Zhu family was more than the annual income of the national treasury. Yuwen Yuanhua took the lion's share without hesitation and handed over the rest.

After this confiscation of property, the national treasury was filled to the brim. Yuwen Yuanhua estimated that he would not have to worry about military disasters for the next five years.

A quarter of the civil and military officials in the entire Dongling Dynasty were cleared out. Yuwen Yuanhua unceremoniously joined forces with the prince and took advantage of the emperor's severe blow to place his own people in important positions.

This is what is called a blessing in disguise. Although Yuwen Yuanhua has been busy during this period, he is happy with his busyness. He even told his ninth uncle privately that it would be nice if such things happened more often.

Anyway, after this incident, the emperor continued to favor him on the surface, but in fact he hated him to the core. He could not please the emperor no matter what, so he simply became arrogant to the end. As long as the Ninth Prince did not fall, the emperor could not do anything to him.

But although Yuwen Yuanhua was happy, people in the entire imperial city became uneasy. Whenever they heard the footsteps of soldiers, they were so scared that their legs went weak, for fear that they would be accused of being a member of the left-wing conspiracy by Yuwen Yuanhua.

For a time, Yuwen Yuanhua's popularity was unmatched. Although the incident of Baicao Garden being attacked by wolves had not yet been investigated, no one dared to mention it for fear of being caught in the crossfire. At this time, even the aristocratic families had to avoid the attack and dared not confront him.

The sky above the entire imperial city was shrouded in blood. Everyone in the imperial city was in danger. However, Feng Qingchen and Wang Jinling and a few others were very relaxed. No matter how chaotic it was, it would not affect them.

Because of the left prime minister's treason, Mrs. Xie's surgery was postponed again. Although Yuwen Yuanhua did not take action against the Xie family, some officials who were affiliated with the Xie family suffered. Facing Yuwen Yuanhua's warning, the Xie family stayed indoors during this period.

Although the bloody storm outside had nothing to do with Feng Qingchen, she still chose to stay indoors during this period of time. She was not Yuwen Yuanhua, and she did not have the capital to be arrogant.

In the eyes of the emperor, the only thing she did was to ask Prince Su to come forward, and she was not too involved.

He stayed in Feng Mansion and discussed with Zhou Xing the renovation of Feng Mansion and the construction of a new ward.

After making the plan, Feng Qingchen prepared to go buy materials. Before she stepped out of the gate of Feng Mansion, General Wei, who had brought his wife to Feng Mansion for treatment, came with a large group of people to deliver materials to her.

"What are these?" Feng Qingchen was very surprised as he pointed at the cartloads of materials being transported to the mansion. What surprised him even more was that among these materials, there were ten night-shining pearls the size of a baby's fist.

Who is this? What a big deal.

Feng Qingchen swallowed and admitted that she was moved.

Night-shining pearls are something that money cannot buy. If these ten night-shining pearls are placed in the operating room, along with a few bronze mirrors to refract the light, the effect will definitely be better than those palace lanterns.

"Miss Feng, I'm delivering these materials to you on the orders of the general. The general has ordered that if Miss Feng needs anything, just tell him and he will do his best to find it for her. Even if the general can't find it, someone else will." General Wei was wearing a brand new military uniform and looked very energetic. From the looks of him, he must be a very important person.

The smile on Feng Qingchen's face froze immediately. Someone could find it.

Humph... Feng Qingchen sneered. It turned out that these things were sent by the Ninth Prince.

What does this mean? A thank you gift?

Seeing Feng Qingchen distracted, General Wei repeated it.

Feng Qingchen interrupted him coldly: "No need, tell General Yuwen for me, these are too much."

She only did what she was willing to do and never thought about asking for anything in return, just like when she pleaded for the imperial doctors in Prince Su's mansion.

However, since the Ninth Prince wanted to give it to her and to sever their relationship, she would do as the Ninth Prince wished.

It's heartbreaking, but it's bearable.

Seeing that Feng Qingchen seemed unhappy, General Wei did not dare to say much. He only ordered the soldiers to carry the things in one by one. He stood beside Feng Qingchen, looking like he had something to say.

"General Wei, please speak frankly if you have something to say." She really didn't like General Wei's timid character. As a grown man and a soldier, couldn't you be more straightforward? Although she was unhappy, she would not vent her anger on others.

"Um, Miss Feng, I wonder if you are free now? My wife..." General Wei was sweating profusely. As a military general, he felt pressured in front of the commoner Feng Qingchen, and he couldn't help but be respectful.

"Your wife is here? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Please follow me to the wooden house, Madam." Feng Qingchen needed work to divert his attention at this time.

Feng Qingchen had already made preparations for Mrs. Wei's cataract surgery and was just waiting for Mrs. Wei to arrive.

Doctors do not have the right to choose their patients, nor do they have to choose auspicious times to operate. If Mrs. Wei's condition was good, she could be taken to the operating room immediately.

"Yes, yes, yes." General Wei didn't dare to say more. He originally wanted to ask a soldier to go, but seeing Feng Qingchen's look, he had to go and invite Madam Wei himself and send her to the cabin.

This made Mrs. Wei very happy. You know, this was the first time that General Wei paid attention to her while performing military duties.

Feng Qingchen arrived at the cabin quickly, fully dressed. As soon as Mrs. Wei arrived, Feng Qingchen gave her a full body examination.

Madam Wei had recovered well before the operation. She was a little nervous at first, but she became happy because of General Wei's rare thoughtfulness. Feng Qingchen calmed herself down and chatted with Madam Wei for a few words, which made her even more relaxed.

Under Feng Qingchen's guidance, Madam Wei washed her face, took off all her hair and accessories, and lay on the operating table. The moment she lay down, her fingers shrank slightly. Feng Qingchen knew that she was nervous, and comforted her again:

"Madam Wei, don't be nervous. The eye disease of the eldest son of the Wang family is more serious than yours. Don't worry, as long as you close your eyes and take a nap, your eyes will recover to normal vision. But after recovery, you must pay attention to rest and don't embroider every day."

Feng Qingchen's voice was not warm, but strangely, it had a calming power.

As she spoke, Feng Qingchen injected the anesthetic. It was a very small amount that would not cause any harm to the human body. She just wanted Mrs. Wei to fall asleep first.

The needle pierced the skin, and Mrs. Wei retracted her hand: "Doctor Feng, this is..."

"Don't worry, Madam Wei. I'm giving you an acupuncture injection to help you relax." A white lie is sometimes necessary.

"I'm not worried. I trust Miss Feng." Mrs. Wei relaxed completely.

Given Wang Jinling’s eye disease, Mrs. Wei naturally believed Feng Qingchen.

The two chatted for a few more people, and Mrs. Wei felt her eyelids becoming heavier and heavier, and she fell asleep unknowingly.

Anesthesia is a very important part of the operation. The anesthesia methods for cataract surgery are mostly based on retrobulbar anesthesia or peribulbar anesthesia, but they are prone to complications and the anesthesia takes a long time to take effect.

For safety reasons, Feng Qingchen used the surface anesthesia method that has been commonly used in recent years. After dripping the anesthetic into the eye, Feng Qingchen turned on all the lights in the room while waiting for the anesthesia to take effect.

After the anesthesia took effect, Feng Qingchen took out the necessary scalpel, medicine, and the artificial lens to be inserted into the eye.

Standing on the operating table, Feng Qingchen had no time to think about the Ninth Uncle, Wang Jinling, favors, or clearing herself from blame. The only thing she wanted was to complete the operation.

Cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy lens in the eye and replacing it with an artificial lens. It sounds simple, but it is not that easy to actually do it.

The eyes are very fragile, and every movement must be done with extreme caution. Plus, the external conditions are average, so Feng Qingchen must stay highly focused to avoid unexpected complications during the operation.

The preparation for the operation takes a long time, but the actual performance only takes half an hour.

When Feng Qingchen pushed Madam Wei out, General Wei was still directing people to move things. Feng Qingchen called people over and asked General Wei to send Madam Wei to the guest room to rest.

Originally, after the cataract surgery, she would just lie down for an hour, take the medicine and go home. But to be on the safe side, Feng Qingchen decided to let Madam Wei stay in the Feng Mansion for three to five days, since she wouldn't need her to take care of her anyway.

"Doctor Feng, my wife?" General Wei looked at his wife lying on the operating table with bandages wrapped around her eyes, and couldn't believe that she was healed immediately.

"The treatment was very successful. Madam will wake up after the effect of Ma Fei Powder wears off. She will be able to see normally in five days. Be careful not to get water near your eyes these days. Eat light food. I will check on Madam every morning. Oh, by the way, you should arrange for a maid to take care of her during the days she is at my house. Feng Mansion does not provide meals."

After saying this, he locked the door of the operating room and strode out.

She was very busy. After the operation was completed, she had to find Zhou Xing to boil water. She had to clean and disinfect the operating room...

Wuuuuu... She wants a surgical assistant, she doesn't want to have multiple jobs. Sun Sixing, are you coming or not? If you don't come, I will find an apprentice.

Speak of the devil, and he will appear. As soon as Feng Qingchen stepped into the hall, he saw Sun Zhengdao and Sun Sixing sitting there, and beside them...
