With everything prepared, Xie Yushu disinfected her hands and gave a stern warning: everyone must remain silent once the surgery begins, especially the two people holding Xuanyuan Jue down and the imperial physicians watching from the front row.
Seeing that everyone had their mouths pursed shut, and Emperor Qingyuan even covered Consort Chu's mouth with one hand, Xie Yushu took out a scalpel and made a cut at the broken rib of Xuanyuan Jue.
The cuts were so smooth, the white knife went in and the red knife came out, just like cutting pork. Of course, this was according to the ideas of Xuanyuan Jue and the other two.
As soon as the incision opened, a stream of blood gushed out. Nanxing then handed over hemostatic forceps, and Xie Yushu snapped the forceps onto the bleeding point. The large bleeding points immediately stopped. Xie Yushu wiped away the surrounding bloodstains, found the broken bone, aligned the broken bone, and repositioned it.
Since there were no steel needles to fix it, Xie Yushu could only sew up the flesh around the broken bone with sheep gut sutures to let the flesh hold the broken bone in place. Even so, Xuanyuan Jue would definitely have to lie still for three months to recover to about 70-80%.
Everyone was almost speechless as they watched Xie Yushu take the needle and start sewing on Xuan Yuanjue's body!
They're probably screaming inside.
"You can do it like that! Just sew it up wherever it's broken? It's so simple and straightforward!"
Xuanyuan Jue had already cried so much that the blindfold was soaked, his teeth were chattering, and he occasionally sobbed. He was afraid that if he cried too much, Xie Yushu would cut the wrong thing for him, so he didn't even dare to turn on the vibration!
That's so cruel, it's so hard for him, who knows!
Although he had taken anesthetic and his pain sensitivity was reduced, he was still in pain, and he was fully conscious!
He could still feel it. He knew Xie Yushu was ripping at him. He clearly knew that Xie Yushu was tearing at his wounds and pulling and tugging at his broken bones. Now she was sewing him up with a needle. He could clearly feel the needle and thread going through his flesh. It was terrifying!
Xie Yushu didn't care about their mental state and continued the surgery on her own. After finishing the stitches inside, Nanxing handed her scissors. Xie Yushu cut the catgut sutures, changed to ordinary needles and thread, and continued to suture the incision.
This time the pain was even more intense. Xuanyuan Jue wished he could just faint, but he couldn't at this moment and could only endure it.
The imperial physicians were stunned. A person they had diagnosed as beyond saving was cured by Xie Yushu simply by getting him treated.
But soon, Xie Yushu gave them an answer with her actions.
After ten stitches, the incision was sewn shut perfectly. To ensure aesthetics and not detract from the Fifth Prince's royal bearing, Xie Yushu even tied a bow while bandaging it.
Then he casually ripped off the blindfold covering the Fifth Prince's eyes before the boy could even wipe away his tears!
The fear still lingered in Xie Yushu's eyes, suggesting she might be traumatized.
"Alright, the broken bone has been set, but to avoid it shifting again, the Fifth Prince needs to lie flat for a month until the bone heals before he can get out of bed and walk. It will take at least three months to fully recover!"
The stitches will be removed after ten days depending on the situation. Within ten days, disinfect and change the bandage daily. I don't have any extra bandages here, so you should prepare some yourself. Boil them in boiling water and dry them in the sun before using them.
The anti-inflammatory medication will be administered three times a day, morning, noon, and night. Tonight is the critical period, so I will stay here to take care of the patient. Two people from the Imperial Hospital can stay with me to learn how to administer injections and disinfect the area. They can then handle the dressing changes and injections themselves.
This isn't difficult; anyone with hands can do it.
The imperial physicians: ...
Xie Yushu simply gave the doctor's instructions as was her habit. Consort Chu, feeling guilty, increasingly felt that Xie Yushu had no intention of treating her son with care, and secretly held a grudge against Xie Yushu.
Emperor Qingyuan still had some conscience. Seeing that the Fifth Prince no longer had that gloomy, lifeless aura and was staring at Xie Yushu with eyes as wide as a bull, he was overjoyed. He praised Xie Yushu's medical skills highly and appointed her as the Vice Director of the Imperial Medical Academy. He also gave her a waist token, allowing her to freely enter and leave the palace and use the medicines from the Imperial Medical Academy at will.
That's good, at least her efforts weren't in vain!
After observing for another hour, Xie Yushu checked the wound again. There was no bleeding and the breathing was relatively stable. After she finished her examination, several imperial physicians took turns taking the pulse. They all said that the pulse was stable and that although the patient was a little weak, he would recover after a few days of rest.
The imperial physicians, no longer as casual as before, bowed and clasped their hands in greeting to Xie Yushu.
"The princess's medical skills are superb, which have broadened our horizons. We admire her!"
I hope the princess will offer me much guidance in the future!
"No problem!"
Upon hearing that he wouldn't die, Xuanyuan Jue, who had been holding his breath waiting for news, immediately fell asleep.
Emperor Qingyuan and Consort Chu had been living in fear for several days and were exhausted. Seeing that Xuanyuan Jue was not dead, they went back to rest.
Xie Yushu stayed there all night, guided them through the procedures several times, changed Xuan Yuanjue's dressing, and then returned to her residence.
After working a long night shift for the Fifth Prince, Xie Yushu was exhausted. She quickly ate a bowl of vegetable porridge and went back to her room to catch up on sleep. She slept until the end of the afternoon.
When she woke up, she heard a commotion in the front yard. It turned out that Xie Yushu would notice even the slightest noise. Now she was sleeping so soundly. It's true that comfortable days make people lazy!
Despite her thoughts, Xie Yushu simply tied her hair up and went out.
In the front yard, Chu Mingzhu was throwing a tantrum.
That's right, it was a tantrum. He was very agitated, his eyes were red, and he even lost two likes!
Xie Yushu strolled over leisurely, glanced at the situation, and asked lightly.
"What's going on now? Princess Rong'an wants to show off her power, but she's come to the wrong place!"
"Xie Yushu, you shameless woman! You've already been divorced, why are you still trying to seduce my brother Xiao Yi!"
Let me tell you, the Emperor has already issued an imperial decree to grant us this marriage. I am Xiao Yi's rightful wife. Don't think that just because you gave the Emperor a glass prescription and got a princess in return, I'm afraid of you!
If I find out again that you've been secretly seducing Brother Xiao Yi, you'll be sorry!
Seeing her spouting inappropriate nonsense, Xie Yushu went straight up and slapped her twice across the face.
"Chu Mingzhu, watch your mouth. Don't make me hit you. If there's a next time, it won't be as simple as just two slaps!"
After saying that, he turned to Nanxing and said...
"Throw her out! Tell the gatekeeper not to let just anyone in anymore!"
Upon receiving the message, Nanxing grabbed Chu Mingzhu by the back of her collar and dragged her out without saying a word.
"Xie Yushu, how dare you hit me! My sister is a Noble Consort. If you dare to provoke me, I'll make you pay!"
Chu Mingzhu staggered as Nan Xing pulled her, and she cursed in frustration.
The gatekeeper was also filled with regret after hearing Nanxing's words. He was only fifteen or sixteen years old. It was no exaggeration to say that the highest official he had ever seen was the village chief of their village. Although Aunt Su had taught him for a few days and he had learned the manners and etiquette, he became timid when he heard that Chu Mingzhu was also a princess and did not dare to stop her.
Upon learning that Chu Mingzhu had come to cause trouble, he was almost in tears. He held up his finger and swore to Nanxing that he would never let anyone in again!
Please, Nanxing, don't drive him away.
