Chapter 144 Xiao Jinxing Wakes Up
Bai Mowan felt a surge of emotion that was abruptly stilled by a single sentence from Ye Qichi.
She turned her head to look at Ye Qichi, somewhat in disbelief. Ye Qichi had actually agreed.
The moment Ye Qichi agreed, it instead made her seem like she was making an unreasonable fuss.
From Wu Xufan's expression, she could tell that he had formed a bad impression of her.
Bai Mowan suppressed her anger.
Why must Ye Qichi always play the good person, while she became someone even she herself disliked?
Was it because Ye Qichi was too cunning?!
All her actions were deliberate, intended to embarrass her, thereby elevating Ye Qichi herself.
Bai Mowan gritted her teeth.
This woman Ye Qichi, indeed should not be underestimated.
Certainly should not be looked down upon.
"If we delay any longer, I can't guarantee that Xiao Jinxing will still be able to speak," Ye Qichi said again.
Bai Mowan suddenly became unresponsive at the moment.
She didn't know what Bai Mowan was thinking, of course, she also sensed her discomfort. But without delving deeper, all she wanted was to perform the surgery on Xiao Jinxing as soon as possible; if he truly died, probably no one in this room would survive.
Ye Qichi turned and walked behind the screen.
Bai Mowan bit her lip and followed Ye Qichi inside.
Naturally, Wu Xufan followed as well.
On one hand, he was genuinely worried about Xiao Jinxing's fate. If Xiao Jinxing died, his role in the Imperial Palace would be meaningless. On the other hand, he was curious how Ye Qichi planned to save Xiao Jinxing.
He had heard from Xiao Jinxing about Ye Qichi's extraordinary medical skills.
It was Ye Qichi who cured the plague in Yuzhou City.
When the young soldier Wu was on the brink of death, it was Ye Qichi who saved him.
Even Xiao Jinxing's years of disability...
The more he thought, the more curious he became.
Ye Qichi had already opened her emergency medical kit.
Inside the kit, all sorts of messy equipment made Wu Xufan bewildered, but somehow it seemed very impressive to him.
Ye Qichi first took out a pair of small scissors and cut open Xiao Jinxing's clothes.
She then unwrapped the dressing on his originally bandaged wound.
Upon unwrapping it, the sight of the bloodied flesh made all three people present gasp.
With such a large and deep wound, it would indeed be very difficult to survive.
Moreover, because of Xiao Jinxing's sudden strenuous use of his hand, the wound was now obviously bleeding.
The uncontrollable bleeding was also very dangerous.
Ye Qichi observed for a moment.
Then she began to check Xiao Jinxing's current comatose state to see if he was deeply unconscious or if, perhaps, there was still a chance he might be slightly conscious.
If he could feel pain, during the surgery, Xiao Jinxing would inevitably move.
Ye Qichi examined for a long while.
She was almost certain that Xiao Jinxing would not wake up.
But just to be safe, Ye Qichi still took out the silver needles and located the corresponding acupuncture points on Xiao Jinxing's body, controlling his body so that he could not make any movements, even instinctively.
After inserting the needles, Ye Qichi picked up a surgical knife and made a deep cut on Xiao Jinxing's finger.
"Ye Qichi!" Bai Mowan couldn't help but shout out loud as she watched Ye Qichi's abrasive action on Xiao Jinxing.
Ye Qichi's brow furrowed slightly.
She was not in a good mood during surgery.
So her voice turned cold, "If I wanted to kill him, I wouldn't be cutting his fingers, I'd go straight for his neck."
Bai Mowan was left speechless by Ye Qichi's rebuke.
Her face turned extremely ugly.
Ye Qichi's words.
As if to say, she was very foolish.
And as if, she was being petty.
Ye Qichi ignored Bai Mowan, and only once she was sure Xiao Jinxing would not move during the pain, did she start the surgery, operating on Xiao Jinxing's heart.
She picked up the surgical knife once again, and before starting, she disinfected Xiao Jinxing's wound with alcohol.
Xiao Jinxing's body tensed visibly.
It was the pain that caused a muscle response.
But it was only a slight muscle reaction; the rest of his body made no other movements.
At this moment, other than experiencing the agonizing pain, he could do nothing else.
After disinfecting.
Just as Ye Qichi was about to make an incision, she suddenly said, "I am about to open Xiao Jinxing's wound to perform heart surgery, so the process will be quite bloody. If General Bai feels uncomfortable in any way, you may leave. But if you choose to stay, please do not speak or disturb me. Heart surgery is different; a single slip could result in a heartbeat that never resumes, which is to say, death."
