The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1773 - 1860: Vegetative State

The rest, whether house servants or the household’s fowl and dogs, are not spared, all beheaded!

Her actions were intentional, but this is a story for later, not to be discussed now.

In short, Her Majesty the Empress learned many things through the Great Commander’s words, especially those reported recently by the Great Commander. Almost all of these were related to Marshal Baowei.

When she learned that Dong Baowei could save her, she was very shocked inside, but her hope had long been exhausted. So she just listened indifferently and smiled it off, not taking it seriously, even laughing inside at the Great Commander’s foolish belief in such an impossible truth.

Yet today, upon hearing the ’debate’ between Jiang Feng and Dong Baowei, upon sensing the ’reprimand’ Dong Baowei gave to Jiang Feng, though unable to speak or see, all her remaining senses of smell and hearing faithfully relayed everything happening around her.

Dong Baowei’s fiery little temper was so different from what she remembered. But maybe because her life had been too dull these years, though this little temper had changed so much from before, it, in turn, made her inexplicably appreciative.

Then Dong Baowei picked up the Golden Needle, seemingly to perform acupuncture on her, but there was no sensation on her skin, and no disappointment in her heart, as this was something long anticipated.

Without hope, how can there be disappointment?

Her Majesty the Empress had long been able to face this with calmness.

But gradually, it was almost like an illusion. Her head suddenly felt a bit itchy.

This sensation was initially subtle and not easily noticed. But for the Empress, it was enough to shock her!

Because this itchiness was happening inside her brain, from within her head.

The Great Commander had tried to find various people to treat Her Majesty the Empress, but those people left after just checking her pulse. Some prescribed medicine, but after testing, it was deemed consumable yet ineffective for Her Majesty.

This was the first time someone had made Her Majesty’s body, or perhaps a ’certain part’ of her body, react.

This feeling was truly indescribable by words, yet it was no different than a thunderclap striking Her Majesty the Empress’s heart!

Perhaps too agitated, outwardly Her Majesty the Empress remained lying peacefully, like she was asleep. However, a blush gathered on her cheeks.

Dong Huiying glanced at the Empress, thinking, how does the Empress seem to look as if she’s shy?

What happened?

She was merely administering acupuncture, could it be...

A sudden guess popped into Dong Huiying’s mind, and she found it quite plausible?

But even having guessed it, Dong Huiying remained calm in her heart.

Isn’t it just that the body cannot move, but the consciousness remains?

It’s just like those vegetative state patients she encountered in her previous life; some, once they fall asleep, never wake up; others fall asleep and, upon waking, many years have passed, with no knowledge of what transpired, as if in deep sleep. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

However, a small portion of these people, even if reduced to a vegetative state, could keep their consciousness alert, still able to perceive things occurring outside.
