The medical concubine is too difficult to tease

Summer is coming gradually, and the early morning sun brings warmth. In the Nanshan Bieyuan, it is surprisingly quiet, only the rustling of the leaves in the mountain by the cool wind, and the clear and crisp singing of the mountain kingfisher from time to time.

Gao Kuang and his son and the queen mother sitting in front of the bed, oh, it is the queen mother now, looking nervously at Li Ru'an who was feeling the pulse.

"The pulse condition is more stable than a few days ago, and it seems to be quite effective. Grandfather, uncle, let's just say today."

Thinking of what An'an had told them in private about the treatment methods a few days ago, even though Gao Kuang and his son were well-informed, they were shocked by her and broke into a sweat. Now they looked serious and nodded at the same time.

Li Ru'an looked at the Empress Dowager, and persuaded him gently, "Mother, today's acupuncture method will take three to five hours. You should go back to the bedroom and rest first."

"Three to five hours...Ru'an, you are pregnant now, you have to pay attention to your body." The Empress Dowager knew that her treatment would be affected by her being here. , but she chose to believe in Ruan.

"Grandfather and uncle are here, and Ru'an won't be tired. Don't worry, Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager urged her repeatedly, and then helped Zheng Yan's hand out of the palace door, Li Ru'an turned around and took a deep breath.

"let's start."

In addition to the heavy guards at the foot of the surrounding hills in the Nanshan Bieyuan, the servants in the Bieyuan are under the charge of Zheng Yan, who stay in their own posts and are not allowed to walk around without orders, let alone approach the emperor's bedroom at will.

This square tent is a temporary aseptic room built by Li Ruan. It is divided into an inner room and an outer room, and the equipment needed for treatment has been prepared.

Let Ziyan burn it with sulfur and wormwood first, and after dispelling the smell, Gao Yi carefully carried the sleeping Supreme Emperor into the tent, and placed it on the wooden board in the center that had been wiped with disinfectant.

Li Ru'an and Gao Kuang put on clean white robes, covered their heads and half of their faces with white cloth, and covered their hands with the sticky glue from Li Ru'an's secret room. Then he raised his hands and entered the sterile inner room.

There was a small gaucho at the head of the bed, and various bright and strange utensils were neatly stacked on top of the white cloth, and there was a strong smell of disinfectant in the air.

Li Ru'an explained the procedure of the operation to the father and son before. Gao Kuang performed the gas-solidifying needle first, while Li Ru'an stood at the head of the bed and picked up a modified scalpel.

Nanyang County City Lord's Mansion
On the soft couch in the main hall, a man in black coarse cloth was leaning lazily. He was tall and slender, with copper-red hair tied in a dark oxtail braid, a well-sculpted and deep face, with a penetrating look in his eyes. air conditioner.

"General, the Xuanjia Army has been missing for several days, and the people sent out to investigate have not returned. There must be something strange!"

Luo Kedong was the deputy general of Yuwennu, and he frowned in thought. The Xuanjia Army, which had been circling outside for the past few days, suddenly retreated. It has been quiet these days, which is really suspicious.

"Send more people to investigate, we must find out whether the Qing army is really retreating or fake." Yu Wennu drank a glass of wine with a gloomy expression.

"Is there no news from Dongdai City?"

Luo Kedong shook his head, "After the Qing army retreated, my subordinates immediately sent people to Dongdai City, but they haven't returned yet. Will they be intercepted by the Qing army?"

Yu Wennu frowned, "The Duke Huan of Daqing has a changeable art of war, but these Qing people will not care about the life and death of the people in the city. With them in hand, the Qing army should not dare to act rashly."

Just as Luo Kedong was about to speak, a soldier outside informed him and presented a dark gray envelope.

"General, it's a private message from the general of Wulong Township." Luo Kedong glanced at the Wulong logo on it.

Yu Wennu took a glance at it, stood up abruptly, furious, "Mom was kidnapped!"

"How could it be! Wulong Town is guarded by our soldiers, and Shan Po is also protected by hidden piles, who is it!"

Yu Wennu gritted his teeth, narrowed his sharp eyes slightly, "The letter said that there is a green dragon mark on the assassin's tiger's mouth!"

"Yuwenku?!" Luo Kedong exclaimed, "What is he going to do to kidnap Shan Po?"

"Of course they want to deal with me! Luo Kedong, go down and gather five thousand elite soldiers, and follow me back to Mocang!"

"Five thousand? General, there will be less than five thousand soldiers left in Nanyang County, and the situation in Dongdai City is still unclear. Do you have to wait a little longer?" Luo Kedong frowned, everything has caught up.

"No, Yu Wenku is narrow-minded. His wife and daughter were killed by me, and he has been brooding about it all the time. If it gets later, it's hard to guarantee that he won't take action against his mother! Go down immediately and get ready to go!"

"…Yes!"

Luo Kedong walked out of the mansion and sighed helplessly. His own general seems to be in control now, but in fact he is completely manipulated by Yu Wentuo. The rumors outside only know one thing but not the other. If you don't go down, just give them a knife to kill them.

In the dense forest twenty miles away, Hong Tao, with green sap on his face, looked at the winding army from a distance through the bushes, with joy on his face.

"Send a message that Yu Wennu led nearly [-] troops and left Nanyang County, heading back to the Mocang border."

Nanshan Bieyuan
Time passed by, and it was late afternoon in a blink of an eye. At the gate of the hall, Xuegu was restless, walking back and forth, worried.

Seeing the Empress Dowager and Zheng Yan approaching from a distance, she hastily greeted them with anxious expressions.

The Empress Dowager patted her hand to comfort her, and lowered her voice, "Ai's family is also impatient and can't sit still, come and have a look, is there still no movement?"

"Doctor Gao, Imperial Physician Gao, and Ziyan have all come out to eat in turn, but the concubine has not come out, nor has she passed the meal in. The servants are really worried."

Although my sister is in good health, she is pregnant after all. If the adults don't eat it, the child has to eat it too.

"How can this be done? It's been almost four hours, and they haven't even passed on tea and snacks. They won't persuade Dr. Gao?" The Empress Dowager was very anxious.

"Zi Yan said, the princess is the chief surgeon of this, uh, what kind of operation. The operation cannot be stopped or disturbed at the beginning, so other people can take turns to change, but the chief surgeon cannot leave." Xue Gu bumped into what Zi Yan conveyed.

"Ayan, let the people in the dining room be ready at any time. If there is something in the hall, the meals can be served immediately, and some bowls of ginseng soup that can invigorate Qi and strengthen."

"I've been waiting all this time, empress. The princess always has her own rules. You can relax and go into the palace to sit down and wait."

Inside the hall, the atmosphere was quiet. Outside the tent, Gao Yi and Zi Yan listened attentively to the movement inside, and from time to time, Li Ru'an calmly said the names of the acupoints.

It has been an hour since the last time water and scarves were brought in, and Zi Yan will inevitably become anxious no matter how calm his temper is now.

In the middle, Gao Kuang's wrinkled face was already showing fatigue, but his hands did not shake at all. According to his granddaughter's instructions, he accurately inserted the tail of the needle into the acupuncture point, lightly twisted or slightly flicked, or burned with incense thread.

Li Ruan, who was in the center of the four bright lampshades at the head of the bed, had blood splattered on his fair cheeks. He looked calmly and focused on the bloody skull in front of him. He held a blade in one hand and steel tweezers in the other, and rummaged through the flesh and bones with extreme caution.

Ever since his granddaughter chiselled open the top of the Supreme Emperor's head with a small hammer and a planer, Gao Kuang's heart almost stopped beating. suddenly down.

If it weren't for needing acupuncture to keep Xiao Rui's heartbeat steady, Li Ru'an would not have made such a shocking move in front of others. In fact, what she studied before was not acupuncture, but craniotomy.

In Xiao Rui's situation, there was nothing to start with. On the one hand, he was sure to die, and on the other hand, he had to find the tumor through a craniotomy and find a way to remove it. Although it is possible to die during the operation, generally speaking, there is still a chance of survival.
