Chapter 310 Ye Chutang Saves Chen Ruoyun
After Song Jingning fed the rejuvenation pill into Chen Ruoyun's mouth, he gave her some water.
But as soon as the cup touched her lips, she swallowed the pill.
This shows that she not only has the desire to survive, but also consciousness.
This is a good phenomenon!
After Chen Ruoyun took the rejuvenation pill, her body felt as if it was burned by flames. The pain made her sweat profusely and her whole body tense.
The wound between the waist and abdomen began to bleed again.
Song Jingning didn't care about the difference between men and women and unbuttoned Chen Ruoyun's white underwear.
"Miss Chen, I'm sorry."
After saying that, he lifted the hem of the pink bellyband and used scissors to cut the blood-stained strips of cloth.
Then he found the hemostatic medicine from the medicine box left by the court doctor and poured it on her wound.
It was a penetrating wound, which was already red, swollen, and festering, emitting an unpleasant fishy smell.
Now is the critical time to absorb the effects of the rejuvenation pill. It is not convenient to dig out the rotten flesh, so we can only stop the bleeding.
About a quarter of an hour later.
Chen Ruoyun's tense body gradually relaxed and she stopped sweating.
Song Jingning immediately reached out to feel her pulse.
Seeing that her pulse had become stronger, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He closed Chen Ruoyun's underwear and shouted, "Come in, Miss Chen has made it. With her current health, she will be able to make it to Tianshan County."
When Chen Kui and his wife heard this, they immediately leaned over and bowed deeply to Song Jingning.
They knew that Song Jingning had used the priceless rejuvenation elixir on his daughter.
"Mr. Song, we will repay your favor later. We will give you the silver you spent on the elixir now."
Although the rejuvenation pill cannot be bought, it does have a price.
Even if there is not that much silver in the account, the couple can use gold and silver jewelry to offset it.
Song Jingning quickly helped the two of them up.
"General Chen, Madam Chen, Miss Chen is worthy of my rescue. You don't have to be so polite."
The reason why he saved Chen Ruoyun was because he wanted to take down the 200,000 soldiers of the Chen family, so naturally he would receive money for the elixir.
Chen Kui insisted, "The money must be given, please tell me the amount, Mr. Song."
Song Jingning smiled and said, "You two should keep the silver for now and use it to save Miss Chen's life."
After saying that, he said to the court doctor standing at the door: "Please help Miss Chen treat the wound, dig out the rotten flesh, and reapply medicine."
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Kui and his wife discovered that their daughter's underwear had been undone.
Song Jingning quickly explained: "After Miss Chen took the rejuvenation pill, the bleeding from the wound could not be stopped, so I had to cut open the bandage and use some hemostatic drugs."
He was saving Chen Ruoyun's life, so Chen Kui and his wife naturally wouldn't blame him.
"Saving people is important, so we save it."
"Thank you for your understanding. Let the court doctor treat Miss Chen's injuries. The two of you go pack your luggage and make arrangements for shoveling the snow. Leave as soon as possible."
Although there was no heavy snow in Linzhou City, the snow on the roads was quite thick, especially in the low-lying areas.
The snow must be cleared before the carriage can move.
***
Linzhou City is not too far from Tianshan County. If the carriage runs fast, it can arrive in ten days.
But considering Chen Ruoyun's physical condition, the carriage was not going fast and it took three more days.
Along the way, Song Jingning was the one changing the bandages on Chen Ruoyun's wounds.
She woke up twice.
It doesn’t take long, less than a quarter of an hour.
Every time I wake up, I chat about poetry with Song Jingning.
She grew up in the frontier and saw too many people die on the battlefield, so she has a unique understanding of poetry.
Song Jingning saw a different side of her ideas and benefited a lot.
He sent the letter to Ye Chutang in advance.
So when the carriage arrived in Tianshan County, it was immediately taken to Qi Mansion by the soldiers guarding the city.
Ye Chutang was waiting in the main hall.
When she heard the servant's message, she immediately stood up to greet him.
The people from the second house met Chen Kui and his wife, Song Jingning, and the two siblings of the Cui family before her.
Ye Chutang knew that the second branch wanted to show off in front of the Chen family and establish connections.
Chen Kui and his wife did not know the situation of the two branches of the Qi family.
They didn't give the second wife the cold shoulder, nor were they overly enthusiastic; they were polite yet distant.
When Ye Chutang appeared, the Chen family's attitude changed immediately.
After all, they need help.
Mrs. Chen looked at Ye Chutang, whose beauty could not be concealed even with a big belly, and had doubts about her medical skills.
Can such a young woman's medical skills really be comparable to the miracle doctor Xue Dong?
But what she said was very nice.
"I finally met Madam Qi. It's true that hearing about her is not as good as meeting her in person, and meeting her in person is worse than hearing about her."
After all, it's already here, there's no room for regret.
Moreover, her interactions with Song Jingning along the way made her realize that he was a reliable person.
Ye Chutang did not exchange pleasantries with Madam Chen, but said to Chen Kui, who was carrying Chen Ruoyun on his back, "General Chen, please follow me."
After that, she said to Jinzhi, "Aunt Jin, take Young Master Song and the others to the side room to settle them down, and then take Young Master Song to the side hall."
"Yes, miss."
Song Jingning and others followed Jinzhi and left.
Ye Chutang took the three members of the Chen family to the side hall of the main house.
She already knew about Chen Ruoyun's condition and had prepared the surgical tools and placed them in the space.
The side hall was arranged to look like an operating room.
On the table were some medicine bottles and treatment tools used to confuse people.
"General Chen, please put Miss Chen on the bed."
The bed was very narrow, only two feet wide, which made it convenient for her to perform the surgery.
Although Chen Kui and his wife were puzzled as to why the bed was so narrow, they did not ask any further questions.
Mrs. Chen only cares about whether Ye Chutang can save her daughter.
"Mrs. Qi, can you save my daughter?"
Ye Chutang did not answer, but reached out to feel Chen Ruoyun's pulse.
Chen Ruoyun's pulse is still good because she took the rejuvenation pill and she can hold on until the end of the operation.
But she didn't dare to guarantee that she could save Chen Ruoyun.
First, her injury lasted too long, completely wearing her body down.
Second, the sanitary conditions in ancient times were limited, and there was a possibility of postoperative infection.
Third, even the simplest surgery has the risk of going wrong.
Ye Chutang released Chen Ruoyun's wrist and said to Madam Chen, "I am 70% sure that I can save Miss Chen, but I can't say whether the result will be what you two want."
These words made Mrs. Chen's eyes light up, and she excitedly grabbed Ye Chutang's arm.
"Is what Madam Qi said true?"
Everyone said that his daughter had no hope of survival, but Ye Chutang was 70% sure!
She couldn't believe it, yet she wanted to believe it.
Ye Chutang ignored the slight pain in his arm, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and comforted Mrs. Chen with a smile.
"I am a doctor and I never tell lies to my patients."
Chen Kui is calmer than his wife.
He asked, "Madam Qi, what are the conditions for saving my daughter?"
Ye Chutang already knew from Song Jingning's letter that the Chen family did not want to stand on the side of the Qi family.
So she did not rush into it and proposed that Chen Kui be loyal to the Qi family.
She smiled and said, "Miss Chen's life is very valuable. If I save her, I will ask for one hundred taels of gold."
One hundred taels of gold is equivalent to one thousand taels of silver.
This amount of money is nothing to a second-rank official.
But for the poor general stationed on the border, it was not a small sum of money.
The Chen family can indeed afford it, but they will be short of money in the future.
But money is not as important as my daughter's life.
So Chen Kui agreed immediately.
"Okay, as long as Madam Qi can save my daughter, I will give her one hundred taels of gold!"
"It's settled then."
After Ye Chutang finished speaking, he made a gesture of invitation.
"Please wait outside. I don't like to be disturbed when I am treating patients."
Chen Kui and his wife immediately left the side hall and considerately closed the door.
Ye Chutang shouted to the outside of the door: "Shan'er, no one is allowed to come in without my permission."
Shan Er quickly agreed, "Yes, Miss!"
To be on the safe side, Ye Chutang dropped the bolt and disinfected the side hall.
She gave Chen Ruoyun an injection of anesthetic to prevent her from waking up during the operation.
After completing her preparations, she put on her surgical gown.
Undress Chen Ruoyun and remove the bandage.
The penetrating wounds on her waist and abdomen became more serious. If it weren't for the rejuvenation pill that forced her body to stay alive, she would have died long ago.
Fortunately, no vital organs were damaged, but the infection was severe and the organs began to deteriorate.
“Tricky!”
Although Ye Chutang said this, his expression did not change at all.
Obviously, she didn't take Chen Ruoyun's injuries seriously.
To her, it was just a simple surgical procedure.
What she needs to deal with most is the problem of infected lesions.
Ye Chutang took out the tools needed for the operation from the space and made a vertical incision on Chen Ruoyun's left abdomen.
She also used dilating forceps to enlarge the incision to make it easier for her to treat the wound and diseased internal organs.
This is actually a minor operation.
But because there are too many parts to be processed, it takes a lot of time.
As she had no assistant, it took her a full hour to finish.
At the end, Ye Chutang's legs hurt badly from standing for too long.
Fortunately, the operation was successful and no unexpected events occurred.
She used absorbable sutures to suture Chen Ruoyun's wound, applied medicine and bandaged it.
Because it was inconvenient to use an IV drip to reduce inflammation, she gave him an injection directly and also fed him medicine.
After finishing everything, Ye Chutang took off his surgical gown and put the medical supplies that shouldn't have appeared in ancient times into the space.
She opened the door to the side hall and said to the group of people waiting anxiously outside, "We need to observe for three days to know whether Miss Chen can survive."
The implication is that Chen Ruoyun's treatment was successful, and as long as she recovers well in the later stages, she will be fine.
Madam Chen craned her neck to look inside. "Madam Qi, can we go in and see Yun'er?"
"Of course, but not for too long. Miss Chen needs to rest."
"Okay, I understand."
After Mrs. Chen finished speaking, she and Chen Kui rushed into the side hall.
Seeing that Ye Chutang looked unhappy, Song Jingning stepped forward and asked with concern, "Mrs. Qi, are you okay?"
Ye Chutang shook his head. "I'm fine. I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine after a rest."
"If there is nothing else here that needs Madam Qi to do personally, Miss Chen, go and rest. Your health is also important."
"There's no rush. I still have some things to tell Madam Chen."
As soon as Ye Chutang finished speaking, Chen Kui and his wife came out from the side hall.
They couldn't actually tell anything because their daughter was still unconscious and her complexion didn't improve at all.
But for some reason, they felt that their daughter could be saved.
Madam Chen asked, "Madam Qi, when will Yun'er wake up?"
Ye Chutang thought for a while and said, "If it's fast, it will be tomorrow morning. If it's slow, it may take a lifetime."
These words made Mrs. Chen's heart skip a beat.
"Does the 70% certainty Madam Qi said before still count?"
"It counts, so you two don't have to worry too much. Just take care of Miss Chen as I say."
These words made Mrs. Chen feel a little relieved.
"Mrs. Qi, please speak."
Ye Chutang told Chen Ruoyun all the things that needed to be paid attention to when taking care of her.
It's not that difficult actually, just quite exhausting.
I need to keep an eye on whether she has a fever or whether her wound is getting worse. I also have to change her dressings and feed her medicine.
Mrs. Chen kept them all in mind.
In order to avoid any omissions, she borrowed a pen and paper and wrote it down.
"Mrs. Qi, as long as we take care of Yun'er as you said, and she doesn't have a fever or her wounds get worse, will she be fine?"
Ye Chutang nodded affirmatively, "Yes."
"I understand. My husband and I will take turns to look after Yun'er. If she has any problems, we will go to Madam Qi."
"Please take good care of Miss Chen. I will have someone deliver the food to her on time."
Mrs. Chen bowed again and saluted Ye Chutang deeply.
"Thank you. As soon as Yun'er wakes up, we will go back to Linzhou City to get the gold and send it to Madam Qi."
"Okay, if you two need anything, just ask for Daner. She will try her best to satisfy you. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
When Ye Chutang left, he called Song Jingning.
"Mr. Song, I need to discuss with you in detail the matter of building a branch of Huating Academy in Tianshan County. Please follow me."
Song Jingning nodded and left with Ye Chutang.
The brother and sister went to Tangzhouyuan.
Qi Yanzhou has something to do today and is not in Qi Mansion.
There was a servant who didn't know Song Jingning, and when he saw Ye Chutang bringing a foreign man into the inner courtyard, he became suspicious.
But they were very sensible and only kept their doubts in their hearts without telling anyone about it.
Of course, they talked inside.
Tell Qi Shuyan about this.
Qi Shuyan never cared about Ye Chutang's affairs and just pretended not to hear anything.
"Shut your mouths tightly. From now on, no matter what you see the mistress doing, pretend you didn't see it. Don't tell anyone, including me. If even one word gets out, you won't survive!"
"Yes, young master."
at this time.
Song Jingning followed Ye Chutang to the main hall of the main house.
She asked Qingping and Qing'an to serve a pot of good tea and then sent them away.
Shan'er was waiting in the side hall in case the Chen family needed anything.
Ye Chutang shouted towards the small kitchen: "Aunt Jin, come here for a moment."
When Song Jingning heard this, he guessed that Ye Chutang was going to reveal his identity to Jinzhi.
He did not object and waited for Jinzhi to arrive.
"Miss, I will be right there."
As soon as Jinzhi finished speaking, she wiped her hands and walked into the main hall.
"Miss, you are looking for a servant..."
Halfway through her words, she saw Song Jingning.
Song Jingning and Ye Chutang sat next to each other at the round table.
The two have exactly the same facial features.
Jinzhi thought of something, her pupils suddenly dilated, her lips trembled, she had something to say but didn't know how to start.
Seeing Jinzhi like this, Ye Chutang knew that she had guessed it.
She raised her hand and called out, "Aunt Jin, come and see Young Master Song. Do you think he has any similarities to my mother?"
As soon as these words came out, Jinzhi knew that Song Jingning was the eldest son who was strangled to death by Kong Ru and thrown into the river at birth.
Tears filled my eyes and blurred my vision.
She tried hard to see Song Jingning clearly, but she could see nothing.
She was so anxious that she immediately raised her hands to wipe away her tears, but the more she wiped, the more tears came, and even her voice choked.
"Miss."
Ye Chutang listened to Jinzhi's cry for help, stood up and pulled her to sit next to Song Jingning.
"Aunt Jin, the fifth son of the Song family, the world-famous Master Haoyue, is the young master you've been thinking about."
