One basin of bloody water after another was poured out. Yanluo wanted to ask questions several times, but seeing her mistress's serious expression, she had to suppress her curiosity.
After cleaning, Su Ruojin took out alcohol to disinfect the wounds and sutured and bandaged some of the deeper wounds.
By the time she finished all of this, she was covered in sweat.
With the external injuries treated, the next step is to address the internal injuries.
Su Ruojin took Jiang Qi'an's pulse again, and it was slightly better, but seeing that Jiang Qi'an's lips were still dark purple, the poison from the Heart-Eating Powder was still acting up.
She gave him an antidote pill and made him take it. Su Ruojin then performed acupuncture on him again. After all sixteen needles were removed, Jiang Qi'an suddenly coughed and spat out black blood. All sixteen needles also turned black.
After everything was done, Jiang Qi'an's lips changed from dark purple to completely pale.
The poison that eroded the heart has been neutralized.
Another poison in his body seems to have been there for a long time, forming a strange balance with his physical functions. If he were to rashly try to detoxify it, it would disrupt this balance, and given Jiang Qi'an's current severe injuries, it might actually cost him his life.
After taking Jiang Qi'an's pulse, Su Ruojin determined that the poison would not kill him for the time being, so she decided to leave it alone.
Let's talk about everything after he recovers; saving his life is the priority right now.
After Su Ruojin finished taking care of everything, Zhihua brought the medicine to the door and said, "Miss, the medicine is ready."
Su Ruojin took the medicine and closed the door again.
Jiang Qi'an's current appearance is not suitable for more people to see.
Sitting by the bed, Su Ruojin slowly fed Jiang Qi'an the medicine little by little, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure he had drunk the whole bowl of medicine.
While watching over Jiang Qi'an, Su Ruojin was busy for half the night and fell asleep leaning against the headboard.
Outside, Yanluo couldn't help but whisper to Zhihua, "Zhihua, who's in Miss's room?"
Zhihua shook her head: "I don't know either, but this person must be seriously injured. If Miss doesn't want to say, let's not pry. Let's be more careful later."
Yanluo, knowing the gravity of the matter, nodded and said, "Okay."
As the morning sun streamed into the room, Su Ruojin slowly opened her eyes.
Looking at Jiang Qi'an, who was still fast asleep on the bed, she reached out and touched his forehead; it was burning hot.
Su Ruojin strode out of the house. Zhihua and Yanluo, who had been guarding outside all night, went to greet her when they saw the door open.
Su Ruojin quickly said, "Jiang Qi'an is inside. He is seriously injured. Don't let anyone else know about this except the three of us. Yanluo, go and take care of Xiaobao. Zhihua, go and prepare the medicine. The clinic is in your hands today. Jiang Qi'an hasn't woken up yet, so I have to keep an eye on him."
"Yes, Miss." The two hurried off to do their work.
As for why Jiang Qi'an appeared in the young lady's boudoir late at night, Yanluo and Zhihua knew that this was not something they should ask.
Su Ruojin brought a basin of water back to the room, took out a handkerchief and placed it on Jiang Qi'an's forehead to cool him down.
"Jiang Qi'an, I've done everything I can. The rest is up to you. I hope you can pull through. Xiao Bao is still waiting for you." Su Ruojin said, looking at Jiang Qi'an lying on the bed with his eyes still closed.
Doctors are not omnipotent; the patient's own willpower is also very important. A patient who is determined to die may not be saved even if the doctor does everything in his power.
After feeding Jiang Qi'an his medicine, Su Ruojin administered acupuncture to him again. Yan Luo said from outside the door, "Miss, Hu Qing requests an audience."
Su Ruojin replied, "I understand. Bring him to the backyard."
When Hu Qing saw Su Ruojin, his face was full of worry: "Miss Su, I received a message from the manor by carrier pigeon. The master is seriously injured and has gone missing. I have to go to find the young master. I have come to say goodbye to Miss Su."
Su Ruojin raised an eyebrow. It seemed that Hu Qing was unaware that Jiang Qi'an was in the clinic.
But she didn't plan to tell Hu Qing either.
She and Hu Qing were merely acquaintances, not close friends.
She didn't know what had happened to Jiang Qi'an to cause such serious injuries.
He's still in critical condition, and she doesn't dare hand him over to anyone else rashly.
Let Hu Qing go find him. When Jiang Qi'an wakes up, he will tell Hu Qing if he is willing.
