This time, in the distribution of rewards for meritorious service, the Irgen Gioro family got what they wanted and obtained a Zuo Ling (military command), which was placed under the name of their sixth brother, Jia Hui.
Mother was both happy and sad. She was happy because of the long-standing position of Zuo Ling, but sad because her third son was ruined.
Upon hearing this news, He Zhuo quickly brought the imperial physician to the Irgen Gioro residence.
When they arrived at their third brother's courtyard, they saw their third sister-in-law. She no longer looked as radiant as before, as if she had aged several years overnight.
"Greetings to the First Princess Consort, may the First Princess Consort be blessed." He Zhuo quickly stepped forward and pulled his third sister-in-law aside.
“We are all family, so let’s skip the formalities. I’ve brought the imperial physician with me today. This Physician Feng is most skilled in orthopedics. Let him go in and take a look.”
A glimmer of hope flashed in Third Sister-in-law's eyes, only to be dashed again.
Her husband suffered severe injuries to his spine and pelvis; it was a miracle he survived. She couldn't ask for anything more.
He Zhuo didn't know how to comfort her, so he just patted her hand to comfort her.
Physician Feng and Bai Xia went in together and came out after a while. They both shook their heads and said that the treatment was already very good.
“My lady, I have examined the Third Master’s condition. The military doctor who was in charge of treating him did a very good job, and the Third Master also has great willpower; otherwise, he would not have survived.”
"Third Master's pelvis was crushed by the horse. Not only is his spine dislocated, but a section of it is also broken. He probably won't live much longer in this state," Bai Xia said with a regretful expression.
"You're saying my third brother's pelvis was also shattered, and a section of his spine was crushed?" It's a miracle he survived in that situation.
Bai Xia nodded vigorously.
He Zhuo paced back and forth in the room, thinking it over and over. If the bones were to be repositioned into his third brother's body, not only would the materials be hard to find, but the risks would be extremely high. Moreover, the possibility of infection and rejection later on would make things even more difficult.
The best course of action now is to ensure that Third Brother's health is well taken care of and that he does not lose his will to live.
In the cultivation world, there are practically no medicinal herbs that can revive the dead and heal the bones of mortals.
He Zhuo dismissed everyone, thought for a moment, and searched through his storage ring and personal space, but found nothing.
He Zhuo remembered that there was only one kind of Seven-Colored Lotus in the cultivation world: mortals who consumed it could be brought back to life and have flesh grow back from bones. Cultivators who consumed it could experience a significant increase in their cultivation level, even rising a whole rank.
However, it seems to have disappeared. That's true. As long as one's cultivation reaches the Nascent Soul stage, one can reshape their body. Although this spiritual material is precious, it is indeed somewhat useless, only applicable to cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage.
He Zhuo had no better options, so he summoned Bai Xia and told him about the concept of modern surgical prosthetics, asking them to experiment and see if they could find a replacement material. This kind of surgery was basically impossible in modern times, so they decided to try it as a last resort.
Bai Xia was very happy to receive the news, but she couldn't get any information from He Zhuo. He Zhuo only knew this much. She was good at traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, but not this kind of thing.
However, He Zhuo still had Bai Xia take a lot of medicinal herbs and spiritual honey over, which his third brother could use.
Because of his meritorious service in donating grain twice, and because his elder brother also performed admirably in this battle, Emperor Kangxi granted his elder brother the title of Third-Rank Light Cavalry Captain.
A few days later, Mother visited Yinzhi's residence again. Her face was still filled with sorrow, yet also with some joy. However, she was not as dejected as before. Presumably, the joy of her sixth brother having a military command and her eldest brother receiving a title had eased her grief.
