Chapter 1481: 724 Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law (Part 2)

Adrenaline had to be used four times before Shangguan Yun’s blood pressure and pulse finally stabilized.

“Blood pressure normal, pulse normal,” the National Master declared.

“Stretcher,” Gu Jiao said.

She put away the blood pressure monitor.

The National Master went to the door to instruct the disciples of the National Master Hall to fetch the stretcher.

The monarch frowned and asked, “Where are you taking the person?”

The National Master replied, “To the National Master Hall, we cannot treat them here.”

The monarch did not ask why they could not be treated there, he merely frowned and said to Zhang Dequan, “You go as well.”

“Yes.” Zhang Dequan and the disciples of the National Master Hall brought the stretcher over, mainly carried by the disciples.

Xiao Hen watched with profound eyes as the bloodied Shangguan Yun was carried out on the stretcher, and his heart inexplicably tightened.

This feeling was too strange.

Gu Jiao had already taken off her gloves and, as she brushed past him, she stealthily pinched his fingers.

A seemingly casual gesture, it carried with it a silent reassurance.

She then left through the main door, saying, “Medicine boy, keep up.”

The monarch’s gaze fell on Gu Jiao’s young and delicate face, skepticism flashing in his eyes.

Obviously, Gu Jiao was too young; it was very difficult for people to believe in the credibility of her medical skills.

However, the monarch had heard the entire process of Shangguan Yun’s resuscitation, and indeed it was Gu Jiao who took the lead. Her voice retained the immaturity of youth, yet her tone was filled with a composure and calmness not fitting her age.

The monarch spoke to Gu Jiao in a deep voice, “If you can’t cure him, come to me with your head!”

Gu Jiao glanced at the monarch, “If I cure him, are you going to come with your head to thank me?”

The monarch glared, “You!”

Zhang Dequan hurriedly intervened pretending to stop the monarch, stammering, “Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Saving lives is urgent! Saving lives is urgent!”

Kid, you really have the audacity, daring to talk back to the monarch!

And you did it in a way that leaves one speechless…

The National Master nodded slightly towards the monarch, “We’ll take our leave now. Once the surgery is over, I will immediately send someone to the palace to inform Your Majesty of the outcome.”

A storm brewed in the monarch’s eyes.

Zhang Dequan cleared his throat, “Hurry hurry, please proceed, National Master, and Young Master Xiao!”

The National Master, Gu Jiao, and Xiao Hen, taking Shangguan Yun with them, boarded the carriage of the National Master Hall.

The roads of Zhan Country were exceedingly well maintained, there weren’t many bumps along the way, and with the disciples of the National Master Hall clearing the path, passersby stepped aside, allowing them almost unobstructed passage.

Gu Jiao remarked, “This is like an ancient ambulance.”

The carriage stopped outside Qilin Hall.

Two disciples from the National Master Hall quickly and securely carried the stretcher down.

The group made straight for the empty house at the end of the corridor on the right, guarded by two death soldiers.

Xiao Hen waited in a ward where Gu Yan once stayed, and if the surgery on Shangguan Yun was successful, she would also be brought here for recovery.

“These are all trustworthy people,” the National Master told Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao understood, and she stepped into the room, putting the first-aid kit into a niche in the wall, and entering the Operating Room with the National Master and the two disciples who carried the stretcher.

Upon witnessing such a scene, the two said nothing out of place and silently laid the patient on the operating table before leaving at the sign from the National Master.

Gu Jiao looked around and said, “The equipment is different from last time, are we entering different Operating Rooms each time?”

The National Master went to the washbasin and carefully washed his hands, then opened a cupboard and took out two sets of surgical gowns, “This dimension has several Operating Rooms, depending on the patient’s needs.”

“How come it’s like the first-aid kit?” Gu Jiao muttered.

The National Master said indifferently, “Curious now? You should have thought about it last time.”

Gu Jiao also cleaned up, put on the surgical gown, and surveyed the Operating Room equipped with advanced instruments, “This is my first time seeing these devices, but I feel like I know how to use them.”

The National Master looked at her meaningfully, “And so?”

Gu Jiao pondered seriously, then suddenly realized, “I really am a genius.”

The National Master: “…”

When Gu Jiao took a box of powder from the cupboard, he asked, “You’re not going to use bone cement, are you?”

“No,” Gu Jiao replied, “She’s still young, we can’t use bone cement casually, I’m looking for pedicle screws.”

Bone cement is liquid that can solidify into shape when injected into the repair site through a puncture technique, hardens by itself, and becomes part of the human skeleton.

But it’s an alien substance, and although the short-term efficacy is good, it may have long-term complications, and it might need reinfusion after a long time.
