Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧∀≦*)

Four full doses of epinephrine were used before Shangguan Yan's blood pressure and pulse finally stabilized.

"Blood pressure normal, pulse normal." said the Imperial Advisor.

"Stretcher." Gu Jiao instructed.

She put away the blood pressure monitor.

The Imperial Advisor went to the door and instructed a disciple of the Imperial Advisor's Hall to bring his junior brothers to carry the stretcher.

The Emperor frowned and asked, "Where are you taking her?"

The Imperial Advisor replied, "To the Imperial Advisor's Hall. She can't be treated here."

The Emperor did not ask why he couldn't be treated here; he just furrowed his brow and said to Zhang Dequan, "You go as well."

"Yes." Zhang Dequan responded, and together with the disciples of the Imperial Advisor's Hall, they brought the stretcher over, though it was mostly the disciples who carried it.

Xiao Heng's deep eyes watched intently as Shangguan Yan, covered in blood, was carried out on the stretcher, and an inexplicable tension tightened his heart for no apparent reason.

This feeling was too strange.

Gu Jiao had already taken off her gloves, and as she pa.s.sed by him, she quietly pinched his fingers.

A seemingly casual gesture that carried silent rea.s.surance.

Then she went out the door and said, "Medical a.s.sistant, follow me."

The Emperor's gaze fell on Gu Jiao's young and tender face, a flicker of suspicion crossing his eyes.

Clearly, Gu Jiao was too young, making it hard for people to believe in her medical skills.

However, the Emperor had heard the entire process of Shangguan Yan's rescue, and it was indeed Gu Jiao who had taken the lead. Her voice carried the freshness of youth, yet her tone conveyed composure and calm that belied her age.

The Emperor spoke sternly to Gu Jiao, "If you can't cure her, you are to present your head to Zhen!"

Gu Jiao glanced at the Emperor and retorted, "If I cure her, will you bring your head to thank me?"

The Emperor glared at her furiously, "You!"

Zhang Dequan risked his life to stop the Emperor, saying with an awkward smile, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Saving a life is most important right now!"

Kid, you're really daring, even daring to talk back to the Emperor!

And you did it in such a way that left people speechless…

The Imperial Advisor gave a slight nod to the Emperor, saying, "We will take our leave now. Once the surgery is over, I will send someone to inform Your Majesty of the results immediately."

Storms brewed within the Emperor's eyes.

Zhang Dequan coughed lightly, "Go, go, go—hurry up! Many thanks to Lord Imperial Advisor and Young Master Xiao!"

The Imperial Advisor, Gu Jiao, and Xiao Heng took their seats in the carriage of the Imperial Advisor's Hall, carrying Shangguan Yan.

The roads in the State of Yan were built excellently, so there were no b.u.mps along the way. With the disciples of the Imperial Advisor's Hall clearing the road ahead, pa.s.sersby quickly stepped aside, and their journey was almost completely unhindered.

Gu Jiao remarked, "This is like an ancient ambulance."

The carriage stopped outside the Qilin Hall.

Two disciples of the Imperial Advisor's Hall swiftly and steadily carried the stretcher down.

The group headed straight for the room at the end of the right corridor, guarded by two death warriors.

Xiao Heng waited in the same ward where Gu Yan had once stayed. If Shangguan Yan's surgery was successful, he would also be brought here to recuperate.

"Everyone here can be trusted." The Imperial Advisor said to Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao understood. She stepped into the room, placed the little medicine chest into a recess in the wall, and entered the operating room with the Imperial Advisor and the two disciples who had carried the stretcher.

The two disciples, seeing such a scene, said nothing inappropriate and silently placed Shangguan Yan on the operating table, positioning her in the p.r.o.ne position as required before leaving at the Imperial Advisor's signal.

Gu Jiao looked around and asked, "The equipment is different from last time. Do we enter different operating rooms each time?"

The Imperial Advisor approached the washbasin, carefully washed his hands, opened the cabinet, and took out two sets of surgical gowns, "Indeed, there are several operating rooms in this dimension, depending on the patient's needs."

"How come it’s similar to the little medicine chest?" Gu Jiao muttered.

The Imperial Advisor said calmly, "Now you're curious? I told you to think about it last time."

Gu Jiao also cleaned herself up and changed into surgical scrubs. Looking around at the advanced equipment in the operating room, she said, "This is the first time I've seen these devices, but I think I know how to use them."

The Imperial Advisor looked at her with deep meaning, "So?"

Gu Jiao thought about it seriously, then said in a tone of realization, "I really am a genius."

The Imperial Advisor: "..."

Seeing Gu Jiao take out a box of powder from the cabinet, the Imperial Advisor asked, "You’re not planning to use bone cement, are you?"

Gu Jiao replied, "No, she's still young, so we can't use bone cement casually. I'm looking for pedicle screws."

Bone cement was a substance that could harden into shape and was injected into the repair site through a puncture procedure. After it hardened, it became part of the human skeleton.

But after all, it was a foreign substance. While its short-term effect was good, it might have long-term complications, and over time it might require reinjection.

The Imperial Advisor asked, "You haven't considered conservative treatment?"

Gu Jiao opened another cabinet, saying, "Let her lie down for three months? With her temperament, I’m afraid she won’t be able to stay still. Ah, found it."

The Imperial Advisor looked at Shangguan Yan, then at Gu Jiao, but didn’t ask how Gu Jiao knew Shangguan Yan’s temperament.

To be honest, considering all of Shangguan Yan's injuries, she truly wasn't suited for conservative treatment.

Everything was ready.

Gu Jiao and the Imperial Advisor positioned themselves on either side of the operating table.

Gu Jiao: "Patient's status."

The Imperial Advisor: "Anesthesia complete, heart rate normal, blood pressure normal."

Gu Jiao: "Begin surgery."

......

Xiao Heng quietly waited in the adjoining room.

Zhang Dequan had also arrived, though it was unclear whether he came of his own accord or at the Emperor's orders.

There were many side rooms here, but instead of staying in one, he paced the corridor, careful not to make too much noise and disturb Shangguan Yan’s treatment. He walked lightly, sneaking around like a thief.

Xiao Heng appeared calmer than Zhang Dequan, but internally, he was experiencing a storm of emotions.

Having faced life and death, there was little left in the world that could unsettle him.

Gu Jiao had already successfully escaped danger, and his current unease was because of another woman.

But wasn’t that strange?

He tried to calm himself down; worrying was of no use. What he needed to do was uncover the entire situation, identify the instigator, and expose the executioners who aided in the wrongdoing.

"Grand Eunuch Zhang."

Xiao Heng called out to Zhang Dequan in the corridor, remembering that the young eunuchs in the Zhaoyang Hall referred to him this way.

Zhang Dequan stopped and looked over at Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng had his appearance changed and was now sporting an unremarkable face; even his sharp, phoenix-like eyes had become more ordinary.

Zhang Dequan genuinely didn’t recognize him.

"You are... Xiao Liulang's medical a.s.sistant?" Zhang Dequan asked.

"Yes." Xiao Heng replied.

"Ah." Noticing that Xiao Heng seemed to have something to say, Zhang Dequan glanced at the surgery room guarded by the death warriors and took silent, small steps into the room where Xiao Heng is. "Is there something you need?"

Just as Xiao Heng was about to speak, a young eunuch from the imperial palace stepped in, "Grand Eunuch Zhang, the people from the Commandery Office have come and want to take Xiao Liulang's medical a.s.sistant to the Commandery Office for questioning."

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succ.u.mb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"

Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"

Shi Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”

Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
