"Don't move. It'll be over soon." Gu Jiao was cleaning a wound for an injured patient.

This was the first blacksmith to notice that something was wrong with the furnace and quickly alerted people to go out.

If it weren't for him, all the blacksmiths operating the bellows at that time would have been dead.

However, although they escaped the room without delay, the furnace also exploded quicker than expected, and many people were seriously injured as a result. Worse, after that one furnace blew up, the rest of the furnaces were caught in the explosion and also blew up, and the large fire burned up the whole workshop.

The loss of the imperial court was enormous.

"Physician... Am I going to lose my leg?" The blacksmith, who had lost consciousness in his leg, asked in fear.

Gu Jiao stitched up his wound for him, "No, I just gave you anesthetics so your leg won’t feel anything for a while. After its effect subsides, you will feel pain again."

The blacksmith put down his suspended heart, looked at Gu Jiao gratefully, and said weakly, "Young Miss... I'm fine... You can go and treat others..."

"Okay." Gu Jiao nodded, finished the last suture, bandaged the wound for him, and walked to the next injured person.

Another patient had extensive burns on his back and Physician Song was washing his wounds with saline given by Gu Jiao, but the wound was so massive and this was also Physician Song’s first time handling a patient of this degree, hence his treatment was somewhat crude.

"I'll do it." Gu Jiao said to him, "Go and see the patients over there."

"Yes!" Physician Song made room for Gu Jiao and went to examine two other patients with yellow cloth strips.

This patient was labeled with a red cloth strip, which meant he was in critical condition. Even so, there was still value in rescuing him.

Gu Jiao crouched down and took a pair of scissors to cut all the remaining clothes on his back.

The man didn't completely lose consciousness, which meant he was suffering from great pain.

Gu Jiao took out a dose of analgesic drug from her medicine chest and was about to administer an intramuscular injection to the patient. At that moment, Gu Jinyu who resembled a madman rushed over, grabbed Gu Jiao's wrist, and said at the top of her lungs, "I've been screaming for so long, didn't you hear me?! There's a man dying over there! Go and save him!"

In the past, Gu Jinyu only saw Gu Jiao as a mere medicine girl, but as soon as crisis came, she began to count on this little medicine girl.

Gu Jiao looked impatiently at the hand that grabbed her wrist, "Take your hands off."

She found it troublesome to utter one more word.

Gu Jinyu felt she was in the right and said with confidence, "Aren't you a physician? How can you just let people die?" Then she pointed to the patient lying beside Gu Jiao, "Compared to his condition, that man's condition is much more serious! If you don't treat him, he will die!"

Gu Jiao certainly understood that person's condition better than anyone else. It was her who tied the black cloth strip to him after all. He was a dying patient and wasn’t worth rescuing. The time and effort to save him would lead to the death of a large number of critically ill patients with red cloth strips.

Seeing Gu Jiao ignoring her, Gu Jinyu blew her top, "Are you just going to watch him die? Do you still have a conscience?"

Gu Jiao forcefully broke free from Gu Jinyu's grip as her other hand inserted the injection needle in the patient's arm, then she threw Gu Jinyu a slap in the face with the back of her freed hand!

It wasn’t the same weak slap from that small dispute with Zhuang Mengdie in the county town.

Gu Jinyu was directly thrown to the ground by this slap, her right ear ringing and the corner of her mouth wounded. Her forehead also hit a broken plank and immediately bled.

Gu Jinyu looked at Gu Jiao in disbelief.

After giving the patient an analgesic injection, Gu Jiao took out a piece of sterile dressing to cover the patient's wound, her movements very careful.

After doing this, she stood up and looked coldly at Gu Jinyu, saying, "Now you know to worry when people are dying? What were you doing before? You don’t even know how much intensity and volume of air a furnace can bear, who let you borrow the courage to modify the bellows?"

The color of Gu Jinyu's face faded with a whoosh!

Gu Jiao continued, her voice remained very icy, "If you are ignorant, find yourself a place where you can display your stupidity all you want. Don't come out to harm others!"

Gu Jiao had just met the old blacksmith and learned the whole story.

This was an accident that could have been avoided.

The young man had a panoramic view of what happened between Gu Jiao and Gu Jinyu. He said, "Find out who that girl is."

Minister Zhao was about to answer when a dark guard appeared out of nowhere, nodded and responded, "Yes!"

Minister Zhao pinched his cold sweat. Indeed, His Highness was worthy of his name; his dark guards could appear and disappear like a shadow!

With the spread of the fire, it was not advisable to stay at the scene for a long time. Minister Zhao also joined in transferring the injured.

Soon, Gu Changqing arrived with a team of guards.

The six ministries and military departments belong to different branches. Strictly speaking, the accident in the Ministry of Works had nothing to do with the military camp, but Gu Changqing heard that the physicians of Miraculous Hands Hall had been requisitioned by the yamen of the Ministry of Works, so he led his own group of soldiers to catch up to the rescue operation.

"Eldest brother!" When Gu Jinyu saw him, it was like she saw another life-saving straw. She ran to Gu Changqing with tears on her face.

But Gu Changqing didn't seem to see her at all as he rode past her. He stopped not far from Gu Jiao, jumped off the horse, and nervously walked towards Gu Jiao, "Are you okay?"

Gu Jiao was currently changing the dressing for a patient, who was so injured that the previous dressing was soaked in blood in no time.

Seeing such a scene made Gu Changqing, a big man, secretly uncomfortable. He held out his hand and told her, "Give it to me."

Gu Jiao shook her head and said to him, "There are still a few patients over there. Please help us transfer them."

"To your medical hall?" Gu Changqing asked.

"En." Gu Jiao nodded.

Gu Changqing hurriedly instructed his men to find some planks to carry people out.

There was also a slightly injured patient who just sprained his ankle and suffered some skin injuries. Gu Changqing directly carried the person on his back.

He still hadn’t gone a few steps when suddenly, he felt two eyes that were hard to ignore fell on him. He looked in that direction in passing and saw a carriage parked outside the back entrance.

That seemed to be——

In the middle of his musing, a rumbling noise sounded from the other end of the ruins.

Gu Changqing's eyebrows jumped.

At this moment, the old blacksmith almost shouted his voice hoarse, "Not good! Another furnace is going to explode again!"

The fire got out of control and reached the furnace in another boiler room, causing the furnace there to blow up.

Gu Jinyu turned pale and started running away!

How could she still remember to care about critically ill patients? It was about saving your own life!

Gu Jiao picked up the patient in front of her and quickly evacuated from the scene.

Unfortunately, it was too late. As soon as her feet took a step forward, the furnace exploded with a bang!

The moment the dragon-like fire engulfed the surroundings, Gu Changqing kicked off his feet on the ground and flew behind Gu Jiao, using his body as a shield to block the assault of the flames.

Gu Changqing was burning all over.

Gu Jiao turned to look at him and shouted, "Roll!" [T/N: This can also mean get lost, take a hike, go away, etc.]

The crowd was utterly shocked. Did you just ask the commandant to get lost after he saved your life?

Gu Jiao said, "Quickly roll, I said!"

Gu Changqing immediately threw himself to the ground and rolled about, quickly putting out the fire.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and was somewhat dumbfounded: So you meant it literally...

Because Gu Changqing put out the fire swiftly enough, he didn't suffer serious burns, but Gu Jiao still took him back to the medical hall along with other patients.

There were many medical halls that came here to aid in the treatment of the wounded, including Second Owner's old nest—— Rejuvenation Hall.

Rejuvenation Hall was one of the best medical halls in the capital. They had sent six physicians this time, but they had treated less than half of the patients of Miraculous Hands Hall.

What was even more shocking was that the injured had all offered to go to Miraculous Hands Hall to continue their treatment there.

"Shopkeeper He, don’t you think that girl looks familiar?" An elderly physician asked.

Shopkeeper He looked at Gu Jiao's back.

He didn't get a good look at the other party, but he was too familiar with that back basket.

Wasn't that the little medicine girl who had accompanied Second Owner in the Hot Spring Villa?

Why was she here?

The physician said, "I heard that after Second Owner left the Hu Family, he opened a new medical hall in the capital. It seems to be called Miraculous Hands Hall. Isn't it the same Miraculous Hands Hall just now?"

Shopkeeper He said, "It can’t be, can it? This Miraculous Hands Hall’s physician is even more powerful than our own. Where can he get such a skilled physician?”

Shopkeeper He thought that it was very unlikely. However, this Miraculous Hands Hall surely robbed their Rejuvenation Hall of its business. Later, he had to report to the Chief Owner and ask the Chief Owner to pay attention to Miraculous Hands Hall!

The patients only received basic treatment at the scene. When they returned to the medical hall, those who needed surgery must be operated on and those who needed further treatment must be treated further. Gu Jiao was simply too busy to bother with Gu Jinyu for the time being.

After Gu Jinyu fled the scene, she got onto her carriage in a panic, almost tripping and falling.
