"If we take the stick now, the wound we need to cut will be even bigger, and it will also affect her eyesight after the wound heals."
It felt like something was beating in the chest of Mr. Yang and Miss Yang, and they were feeling regret, fear, uneasiness, hesitation and so on.
Mr. Yang looked at Yang Wangshi who was unconscious on the couch, and his heart was in turmoil.
What the little doctor meant was that his wife had a great chance of saving her eyes and her vision would not be affected. But now, because of his momentary confusion, his wife was on the verge of death...
Doctor Li widened his eyes in disbelief, and cold sweat slid down his cheeks.
This little girl is talking nonsense. Based on his nearly fifty years of experience as a doctor, it is certain that Mrs. Yang Wang cannot be saved!
Chu Qianchen wiped the blood from his fingertips with a handkerchief and said, "If we delay any longer, she won't last more than an incense stick of time." Yang Wang was still bleeding, and an incense stick of time was already her conservative estimate.
"..."Mr. Yang's face turned even paler and his eyes turned blood red. Just thinking about the scenes of his wife having a knife stabbed into her eyes made him feel heartbroken.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"
Chu Qianchen turned to look at Hubo and ordered, "Go to Jishitang and get some fine silk."
Chu Qianchen asked for silk in order to suture the wound. Using a needle to thread silk, hemp thread, etc. to suture knife wounds is a necessary skill for every military doctor. The reason for choosing silk is that time is urgent and silk is readily available.
Knowing that Chu Qianchen was planning to treat Yang Wangshi at Rende Hall, Amber quickly responded and left in a hurry.
Chu Qianchen was not idle either. He took out a needle bag from the medicine box, burned the golden needles with candlelight, and then started to give acupuncture to Yang Wangshi lying on the couch.
Mr. Yang, Miss Yang and the two children all stared at her without blinking, as if in a trance.
One stitch, two stitches, three stitches.
"The bleeding has stopped!" Miss Yang exclaimed in surprise, "Sister-in-law has stopped bleeding."
She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Miss Yang even felt that there was a glimmer of life on Yang Wangshi’s originally lifeless face, and she secretly sighed that the medical skills of this miracle doctor were truly superb.
It only took three golden needles to stop the bleeding from the wounds on Yang Wang's nose and eye sockets.
Doctor Li's eyes widened when he saw Chu Qianchen's acupuncture method, which was so effective.
Chu Qianchen did not stop and continued to give Yang Wangshi acupuncture.
It was still three injections, and these three injections were for anesthesia to prevent the unconscious Yang Wangshi from waking up from the pain.
Amber quickly brought back the silk and tacitly helped Chu Qianchen. She prepared her two newly made knives, scissors, and nine needles including round needles, sharp needles, and beryllium needles, washed them with strong liquor, and then roasted them over fire.
Amber seemed calm, but she was actually a little nervous. However, the Yang family members behind her were even more nervous than her. They stared at Chu Qianchen with burning eyes, as if a drowning person was grabbing a piece of driftwood.
Amber felt that the treatment that was about to begin was too bloody and not suitable for children to watch, so she advised Miss Yang, "Miss Yang, please take the two children with you and leave."
Miss Yang finally reacted and responded quickly, leading the two children out of the inner hall, which became much more spacious.
Chu Qianchen's attention was entirely focused on Yang Wangshi. He was completely unaware of what was happening around him and concentrated on making the first cut with the knife in his hand.
The knife in her hand was accurate and steady. The blade cut across the corner of Yang Wang's eye, and bright red blood immediately flowed out...
Master Yang felt as if the knife was cutting into his body. Unable to bear the sight, he looked away and leaned against the wall with one hand.
On the contrary, Amber remained calm and cooperated by handing Chu Qianchen a knife, a needle, thread, and scissors from time to time...
Time passed slowly and the inner hall was silent. Occasionally, one could hear the discussions of curious people outside, discussing whether the miracle doctor at Jishidiang could save the patient.
It was so quiet around that Mr. Yang could even hear the sound of scissors.
“Crack.”
Then, the girl's cold voice sounded: "Okay."
Alright?! Mr. Yang, with his head down, hadn't reacted yet.
What's done? He was stunned for a moment before realizing something. He raised his head suddenly and saw Chu Qianchen had just dropped the last golden needle. He said to Amber, "Wrap it with gauze."
Amber skillfully wrapped gauze around Yang Wang's right eye, covering the entire right eye.
Mr. Yang was still a little dazed. He looked at Yang Wangshi, who was unconscious on the beauty couch, and then at the bloody stick next to her. Is this done?
She's still alive?! Doctor Li's eyes moved back and forth between the gauze wrapped around Yang Wang's right eye and her nose. She wasn't bleeding anymore, and...
"She's still breathing..." Doctor Li whispered to himself. The fear in his expression faded away, and was replaced by shock.
In the past, he had only heard of the name, but until this moment, he knew that this legendary miracle doctor had miraculous medical skills, and he was completely stunned.
As a doctor, Dr. Li understood the profoundness of medicine better than the Yang family, and knew how incredible it was that Chu Qianchen could bring a dying man back from the brink of death.
He was stunned for a long time, still a little bit unbelieving, and couldn't help but pinch his thigh, which made him gasp in pain.
"Move the person to Jishidiang." Chu Qianchen said again.
Mr. Yang finally came to his senses. The miracle doctor said this, which meant that the patient was saved, right? Otherwise, why would they go to the trouble of moving the patient to Jishitang?
"Thank you, miracle doctor! Thank you so much for saving my wife!" Mr. Yang almost cried for joy, with tears in his eyes.
He quickly had Yang Wangshi carried out, naturally to Jishidiang.
When they carried Lady Yang Wang out of Rende Hall, they were again surrounded by onlookers. The passers-by were all in an uproar, praising her in unison:
"This miracle doctor is truly a living god!"
"Yes, yes, as long as the miracle doctor takes action, there is no one who cannot be saved!"
"This Ren De Tang was talking nonsense before. He is simply a quack doctor. He almost killed a person."
“…”
Amid the noisy discussions of passers-by, the Yang family returned to Jishidiang again.
It became lively outside Jishiditang again.
Chu Qianchen turned a deaf ear to this. She wrote a prescription and gave Dr. Liu some instructions, telling him how to take care of the patient and what to do if there was an emergency such as a high fever.
Seeing that the sky outside was getting dark, Amber reminded, "Miss, it's the beginning of the twelfth month."
This means that they should return to the palace.
"Let's go." After Chu Qianchen smoothed her dress, she was about to leave, but before she left the front hall, she was stopped by Master Yang.
Mr. Yang felt a little bit weak in front of his wife's lifesaver, but he still said, "Divine Doctor, my wife hasn't woken up yet..."
Miss Yang also said: "Please ask the doctor to stay and take care of my sister-in-law, in case her injury worsens..."
Before the treatment, Chu Qianchen was not completely sure, but now, she has a clear idea in her mind -
People can live! Chu Qianchen glanced at him calmly, and Master Yang felt his heart shrink, and he became weaker and weaker, almost daring not to look her in the eye.
"In half an hour, the patient will wake up." Chu Qianchen said calmly, "Take my prescription for three days and then rest for a few days. Doctor Liu will naturally remove the stitches after seven days."
Her tone was calm, indifferent, yet firm, with an unquestionable power.
Doctor Liu has always believed in Chu Qianchen, and said with a smile: "The little genius doctor said that the person will definitely wake up in half an hour."
The guys from Jishidiang next door also echoed this.
Mr. Yang forced a smile and said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you, doctor! Thank you, doctor!"
Miss Yang knelt down again and wanted to kowtow to Chu Qianchen, but Chu Qianchen dodged her and left with Amber.
When the crowd saw the excitement was over, they gradually began to disperse. Some people wanted to see when Yang Wang would wake up, and kept saying, "As long as the person is not awake, everything is still unknown."
Chu Qianchen didn't care at all about the gratitude, doubts, or scolding from others. From the beginning, her attitude was very calm, like a deep and calm ancient well, giving people a feeling of being detached and unapproachable.
Amber is no longer surprised by this.
Sometimes, she often had the illusion that her master had attained immortality.
The carriage took the master and servant back to the house next to Prince Chen's Mansion smoothly, and the sunset was just halfway down.
Because Chu Qianchen was covered in blood, he went back to the house to change his clothes, and then went to the study in the front yard to find Gu Jue.
Amber did not follow him in, but waited outside the house. She vaguely heard Chu Qianchen's smiling voice coming from inside the house: "Your Highness, I operated on a woman in Jishidi Hall today and dug out the wooden stick that was stuck in her eye..."
Amber thought about how aloof her princess was at Jishidiang, and compared it with the present moment, and silently took back her previous words.
With the prince around, it is difficult for the princess to become an immortal.
Amber's mouth curled up.
Inside the room, Chu Qianchen was still gesturing to Gu Jue, "The stick was this long, inserted from the corner of her eye all the way to her sinus..."
"I saved her life." The last "Oh" was slightly raised, just like the corners of her mouth, "Am I amazing?"
She folded her hands on the desk, rested her chin on the back of her hands, and looked at Gu Jue with shining eyes. That expression seemed to say -
She is very powerful, so the prince’s injury will not be a problem!
Gu Jue understood it again and a faint smile appeared on his face.
His heart felt warm and soft.
The scenes after I met her came to my mind.
The way she looked at him was always the same, revealing intimacy, tenderness, joy, trust, and confidence... Occasionally she would be complacent, and occasionally act coquettishly, making him feel very comfortable when he was with her.
Gu Jue stared at her and had to admit that he was influenced by her.
He has fought on the battlefield for many years and has seen life and death. In the face of life and death, no one is nobler than anyone else. On the battlefield, a feather arrow may pierce your throat in the next moment...
Unconsciously, his heart had become hardened, including toward himself.
Before he met her, he felt that as long as he settled the Queen Mother and the people in Prince Chen's Mansion, he would have no regrets.
But now, he had to admit that he had concerns.
He wanted to live on for the sake of this little girl, and try to live longer.
Gu Jue raised his hand and touched her soft earlobe, and said with a smile: "Amazing, you are awesome."
She is so powerful, so he can't be too weak, right?! A sharp light flashed across Gu Jue's eyes.
She is his princess, and he will not let his people suffer any injustice.
Chu Qianchen didn’t know what Gu Jue was thinking, but he could sense his subtle change in an instant and felt that he seemed to be in a good mood.
It's the kind of situation where "he is good but others are going to be unlucky". Who is going to be unlucky?
Chu Qianchen smiled with curved lips, feeling happier, and continued to talk about what happened today: "I used silk to sew up the woman's wound. I took a thin strand of silk from two strands..."
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
"The medical manual says that silk, hemp, mulberry bark, and silver can all be used to suture wounds. I tried silk today and found that the knots made by silk are not strong enough, and the stitches need to be removed."
"I want to try mulberry bark thread again. Several ancient medical books say that mulberry bark thread can be used to suture wounds. Mulberry bark thread can be absorbed by the body and does not need to be removed after suture. Mulberry bark also has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying and promoting wound healing."
Chu Qianchen spoke, and Gu Jue listened.
The atmosphere is tranquil and relaxing.
"I will definitely find the right stitches before you come back." Chu Qianchen said brightly.
"Okay, I'll wait." Gu Jue smiled again. His handsome features made him look several years younger. His eyebrows were like distant mountains and his eyes were like stars.
Chu Qianchen said "hmm", then felt something was wrong.
It was clearly the prince who was going out and she was staying at home, but why did he make it sound as if she was going on a long journey!
She glanced at him coquettishly.
Thinking that Gu Jue was about to go out, Chu Qianchen remembered that Chu Qianhuang had come to see her before, so she changed the subject: "Prince, do you think the marriage between Da Qi and Nan Hao is feasible?"
As she spoke, she brought out all the candied fruits she had just bought today, laid them out in a row, and motioned for him to try the taste.
Gu Jue casually picked up a candied fruit from the first box, and she also picked up one to help him taste it. As a result, the taste was so sour that her eyes and nose wrinkled.
There was no clue at all on Gu Jue's face.
The prince is really patient! Chu Qianchen thought to himself, and added: "Chu Qianhuang came here in the afternoon. She seemed to be very concerned about whether she could go to Nanhao. Logically speaking, even if she accompanied the third princess to Nanhao, she could not marry the prince of Nanhao."
To put it bluntly, even if Chu Qianhuang is the eldest daughter of the Marquis's family, she is not qualified to marry Nan Hao.
Seeing that her facial features were distorted with sourness, Gu Jue poured her a cup of scented tea.
The scented tea is slightly sweet, and goes perfectly with the sour candied fruit in your mouth.
Chu Qianchen laughed at first, then was stunned again.
This sweet scented tea is really not to the prince's taste, so the prince prepared it for her in advance.
Your Majesty is so nice.
Chu Qianchen was happy, and even the sadness of Gu Jue leaving home in a few days was somewhat relieved.
By the way, the weather has been hot recently, so she has to bring some medicine for the prince to prevent heatstroke.
Chu Qianchen was afraid that he would forget, so he picked up a wolf-hair brush on the pen holder, and took out a piece of silk paper with half a page of words written on it from his sleeve, and wrote it down.
The writing style is freehand cursive.
Her cursive writing was vigorous and elegant, but Gu Jue understood it at a glance.
He has always been surrounded by men, most of whom were unkempt and just lived a day-to-day life. For example, the last time he went to the northwest with Qin Yao and Mo Chen, he didn't pack any luggage at all and just set off. No one has ever taken care of all these things for him so carefully.
This little girl is so contradictory and interesting.
She looks delicate on the outside, but her heart is as bold, unrestrained and strong as the cursive calligraphy she writes.
It made him feel at ease because he knew that even without him, she could survive and live well.
It also made him feel uneasy, because he knew what price one had to pay to become indestructible. She should be smiling like she is now...
He felt as if something was about to burst out of his heart.
The sour taste in his mouth gradually dissipated, and the aftertaste of the candied fruit was slightly sweet.
"Uhajialou probably doesn't want to marry into the Da Qi clan," he replied.
Although Gu Jue had not asked Wuhejialou directly nor had he hinted at it, he could see it and guess it.
“Even if the marriage between Nanhao and Daqi is successful, Nanhao’s candidate will not be Wuhejialou. But if it’s not Wuhejialou, Gu Lang will not agree…” There was a hint of sarcasm in Gu Jue’s tone.
Chu Qianchen deeply agreed with this. To put it bluntly, the emperor treated the Wuhe clan as one of the small clans that were dependent on the Great Qi. He thought that whoever he wanted to choose as his prince consort would agree.
She smiled and said, "If the emperor really has the courage to despise Nan Hao, he should lead the troops south in person..."
Halfway through her speech, she started laughing.
Chu Qianchen was too lazy to care about Nan Hao's affairs, and asked again: "Then you won't bring the third princess this time, right?"
Gu Jue nodded: "No."
Gu Jue's heart was as clear as a mirror. He certainly understood what the prince meant. However, in his opinion, the matter between the two countries could not be resolved by whether or not a woman married into the alliance.
Moreover, although Nanhao and Daqi may seem like giants, in fact both countries have numerous problems and they will not fight for at least ten years.
Chu Qianchen picked up some candied fruit from the second box and ate it. This candied fruit was sweet and a little sour, just right.
She suggested expectantly, "Then how about taking me with you?"
She pointed at herself, looking cute and soft.
No one can be better than her when it comes to pretending to be good. Gu Jue almost nodded, and finally touched her head.
It means, be obedient.
Chu Qianchen: “…”
Chu Qianchen held a candied fruit in his mouth, pursed his lips, and one side of his cheek was slightly bulging, revealing a little bit of grievance.
All right. She's very good.
She stopped asking questions and picked up the wolf-hair brush again, scratching her cheek with the brush. "Your Highness, think about it too. Is there anything else you need?"
She signaled Gu Jue with her eyes to look at the list she had written.
After she said that, she felt that she must have asked the wrong person. Gu Jue didn't like to bring too many things when traveling, so he would definitely say that it was enough. So she said before he could, "There are many mosquitoes in this season. I need to prepare two more insect repellent sachets."
"If you don't have enough outer robes, you can buy some on the way. But if you don't have enough inner robes, you should buy another one."
"Oh, by the way, I need to get Jueying a new saddle..."
Gu Jue didn't even have the chance to interrupt. He just watched her asking and answering herself questions, with a flicker of light in her eyes.
Well, he will be responsible for testing the candied fruits.
He ate the candied fruit from the third box and put one into her mouth, watching her expression change.
Chu Qianchen pursed his lips, feeling that the candied crabapple in his mouth was sweet and refreshing, with delicate flesh and a slightly crisp taste.
Gu Jue saw that her eyes were curved into crescents, and he naturally knew that she liked it. He thought of asking Jingfeng to go to Wuweizhai to buy two boxes for her later.
We have one for you and one for me...
By the time Chu Qianchen finished revising the list, all the preserves had been tried.
She still had the last of the candied fruit in her mouth and pushed the altered list towards Gu Jue, motioning for him to take a look.
To this, Gu Jue responded: "You decide."
Chu Qianchen felt that it was as expected and planned to ask Jingfeng. Jingfeng served the prince and was a good candidate to find out and fill in the gaps.
She was just thinking about Jingfeng when Jingfeng came in. She felt that the princess' eyes were inexplicably eager.
Jingfeng bowed and said, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince is here again."
The word "again" he used was very subtle, making Chu Qianchen feel a sense of mutual understanding.
Gu Jue stood up, leaving Chu Qianchen alone in his study.
Chu Qianchen looked at the swaying Xiangfei curtain and whispered, "Gu Nanjin is so annoying..." If he wants to discuss the marriage, he can go to Wuhejia Tower. He always comes to disturb the prince's rest.
When Amber came in, she happened to hear Chu Qianchen's complaint. Her heart skipped a beat, but then returned to normal, thinking that it was actually no big deal.
Chu Qianchen had nothing to do, so after drinking the scented tea at hand, he simply started packing his luggage according to the list.
The things prepared for Gu Jue were not many, so the bag was packed quickly, but the medicine he had to take daily was not prepared so quickly.
Since it was inconvenient for Gu Jue to take medicine while he was away from home, Chu Qianchen planned to make it into pills for him to take on the road like he did last time.
She returned to the main hospital and became busy in the pharmacy, completely absorbed in her work, unaware of the passage of time and the changes around her.
