Chapter 169 - Working Hand In Hand
Like everyone else in the room, Yun Qianyu was startled by Xiao Jiuyuan’s words and she looked up at him.
‘Did I heard wrong? He wants to work with me?’
However, after some thinking, Yun Qianyu figured that Xiao Jiuyuan was probably only worried about his subordinate. After all, General Feng Teng was important to him.
“Your Highness doesn’t have to get your hands dirty. After all, you like clean hands…”
Before Yun Qianyu could finish speaking, Xiao Jiuyuan commanded in a cold voice “Alright, except for this Prince and Yun Qianyu, everyone get out of the room.”
After saying this he even gave Xiao Yechen a look, obviously telling Xiao Yechen that he should also leave the room as well.
Hearing this, Xiao Yechen looked at Xiao Jiuyuan and then at Yun Qianyu. He felt puzzled and thought, ‘What’s up with my ninth imperial uncle?’
However, he did not dare to object to Xiao Jiuyuan’s orders. He quickly agreed and led all the other people out.
In the end, only Xiao Jiuyuan and Yun Qianyu were left in the room. Xiao Jiuyuan looked at Yun Qianyu and said in a domineering manner, “Alright, let’s begin.”
Yun Qianyu looked at Xiao Jiuyuan and was speechless. She really wanted to tell him, ‘Am I the physician? Or are you a physician?’
However, since she cared more about saving the general, she didn’t want to start a discussion.
Turning her attention to General Feng Teng, Yun Qianyu pointed to the arrow on his chest and explained the situation to Xiao Jiuyuan. Then she told him how she would be pulling out the arrow later, how Xiao Jiuyuan should help to stop the bleeding, and the process of her suturing.
Hearing Yun Qianyu’s voice, there was neither the softness of an ordinary woman nor the arrogance of an aristocratic woman. To him, Yun Qianyu’s voice seemed normal, with a faint sense of coldness, a voice that seemed to calm him down in this tense situation.
Just as Xiao Jiuyuan was thinking about it, Yun Qianyu asked him, “Your Highness, do you understand?”
Roused by her question, Xiao Jiuyuan was shocked and caught off guard. He couldn’t help scolding himself, ‘What am I even thinking about? I should put my focus on General Feng Teng, not on this woman!’
Xiao Jiuyuan thought about it like that and finally focused his mind on the important matter: saving General Feng Teng.
Inside the commander’s quarters, the two put aside their hostility toward each other and began to work together.
Yun Qianyu first smeared a natural opioid powder to General Feng Teng’s wound, then forced him to take a mild anesthetic tea. After a short while, she began to pull out the arrow. She was calm and confident and did not hesitate at all. Her speed was fast and her hands were steady. Almost in the blink of an eye, she had already pulled out the arrow.
Xiao Jiuyuan couldn’t help but think ‘Is she a woman? How could she be so calm about such things?’
Immediately after seeing that the arrow was out, Xiao Jiuyuan quickly applied pressure to the wound. Grabbing the Chinese Alpine Rush, Yun Qianyu swiftly began the suturing process without hesitation. Of course she didn’t just suture the outer layer, in fact, she sutured up many layers from the heart muscles to the blood vessels.
As she was suturing the wound, Xiao Jiuyuan would continuously stop the bleeding with a disinfectant cloth soaked with hemostatic herb juice.
Even though things were proceeding orderly in the room, the people outside felt extremely worried.
Xiao Yechen, Little Bell and the marten were very nervous. They would look toward the barracks from time to time and check if there was anything going on.
In the end, the marten carefully went to the door of the barracks and slipped inside when Bai Yao was not paying attention.
However, there wasn’t much drama inside the general’s barracks. The two people in the room were close to finishing the surgery.
