The Lucky Heiress-Chapter 484 - : Reconnecting A Severed Limb_1

Chapter 484: Chapter 484: Reconnecting A Severed Limb_1

Wei Ruo turned to the doctor beside her with a question.

This doctor is from the Lu Residence, knowing that Wei Ruo was sent by the King Rui Residence, he didn’t dare to be idle, explaining everything in detail.

“You have done a great job,” Wei Ruo praised.

“Well … I didn’t do much, just cleaned his wound and applied some Powder for Anesthesia,” the doctor replied.

“That’s the best thing to do,” Wei Ruo said.

The doctor looked confused, not understanding why Wei Ruo would say this.

“Alright, everyone else can leave,” Wei Ruo asked all the other people in the room to leave.

The doctor hesitated for a moment, but considering Wei Ruo’s status, he decided to leave.

Once everyone was gone, Wei Ruo started working.

She first opened her acupuncture kit, took out the silver needles, and began applying them to Xiu Fengyuan.

The first two needles were to further alleviate Xiu Fengyuan’s pain.

Although Xiu Fengyuan was temporarily unable to feel the pain due to nerve damage, it did not mean he would continue to be numb.

“Meimei, take off his upper garment.”

Due to Wei Ruo’s previous instructions not to randomly move Xiu Fengyuan’s body, Xiu Fengyuan was still wearing the clothes he had on during the explosion.

Xiumei efficiently removed Xiu Fengyuan’s tattered and blood-soaked clothing, and replaced the bed sheet under him with the one they had brought.

Then, Wei Ruo proceeded to further apply acupuncture on Xiu Fengyuan.

An hour later, hundreds of needles were densely packed on Xiu Fengyuan’s body, causing him to lose consciousness and fall into a coma.

Next, she had to perform a limb reattachment surgery on Xiu Fengyuan.

Before the operation began, she had to disinfect Xiu Fengyuan’s body.

The alcohol made through repeated distillation could reach an alcohol content of above seventy percent, sufficient for necessary surgical disinfection.

While disinfecting, Wei Ruo had Wei Jinyi stand guard at the door to prevent others from interrupting her operation.

Xiumei stayed to assist her.

Stitching up the arm was a delicate task, and under the current conditions, stitching the nerves would be extremely difficult.

Years earlier, Wei Ruo had produced a small amount of glass in Huzhou Prefecture with quartz sand and limestone, and then ground the glass into convex lenses.

Since the magnification of a single convex lens is limited, Wei Ruo stacked two convex lenses inside a tiny tube, making a simple microscope.

Wei Ruo had used this microscope twice before, both times to suture wounds while she was in Huzhou Prefecture.

She placed this microscope over her right eye. The long tube might look funny, but it greatly assisted Wei Ruo in her work.

The suturing thread isn’t regular either, threads made from lamb’s small intestine could be easily absorbed by the body, not requiring removal after suturing.

The production process was complicated and time-consuming. Wei Ruo had made only a small amount in Huzhou Prefecture many years ago, so there weren’t many of these threads left with her.

And also the lighting.

Xiumei had lit candles at all angles in the room, covered them with the shades, firmly closed the doors and windows, doing her best to ensure adequate lighting without shadows and blind spots.

“Miss, should we wait until daylight?”

Xiumei found that even though they had such preparations, the lighting situation was still not ideal.

“We can’t wait. The longer we wait, the lower his chance for recovery,” said Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo then brought out Xiu Fengyuan’s arm from her space.

When she left the Lu Family, Wei Ruo took the arm away and put it in her space on the ride home.

Her space was the best place for preservation, keeping it outside, even with ice, wasn’t as good as keeping it in her space.

Everything was prepared, and the surgery began.

Next door.

Lu Yuhong suffered skin injuries in several places, and his bones were broken, but thankfully hadn’t lost any limbs. Among the injured, his were the least severe.

Half an hour ago, three Imperial Physicians had prescribed medicine for him, both oral and topical. His condition had stabilized, and the pain had eased.

“How is it?” The elderly Master Lu anxiously asked the Imperial Physicians.

“Master Lu, please rest assured, Master Lu Junior’s life is not in danger,” responded Xing Jiang, the Dean of the Imperial Institute of Medicine.

“You have to assure me! The Lu Family only has this one heir left! If something happens to him, this old man isn’t going to stick around either!”

Master Lu’s words frightened the Imperial Physicians.

Xing Jiang quickly reassured him, “Please rest assured, Master Lu, Master Lu Junior’s life is not in danger. It’s just that his bones are broken and need to properly recuperate for some time, and there may be some scars left on his body.”

“It had better be as you say!” After saying this, Master Lu briskly walked to the bedside, looked at his grandson lying on the couch with reddened eyes.

Madame Lu said to Xing Jiang and the others, “Broken bones and scars are minor matters, as long as he’s alive, that’s good.”

“Please rest assured, Madam, given Master Lu Junior’s constitution, he should recover after some recuperation.”

“That’s good,” Madam Lu nodded her head, glanced at her grandson on the bed, and continued speaking to Xing Jiang and the others, “I’m still bothering you to come with me to see the other injured.”

Apart from Qi Zhen, who was taken away by the Qi family, the rest of the injured are now in the Lu Residence.

The three Imperial Physicians were assigned by the Emperor to treat Lu Yuhong, they were not required to treat other patients, because other injured people did not have the honour to demand the treatment of Imperial Physicians.

However, Madam Lu still hoped the Imperial Physicians could treat others. After all, the incident happened at the Lu Residence, and they had an inescapable responsibility.

Now that Madam Lu had spoken, the Imperial Physicians couldn’t refuse.

Madam Lu accompanied the three Imperial Physicians and arrived at Xiu Fengyuan’s room, only to find that the doctor and maids who should originally be in the room were all at the door.

“What happened?” Madam Lu asked.

“It’s the doctor from the King Rui Residence, he asked us to wait outside while he treats Master Xiu inside,” the doctor waiting outside explained.

“I see,” Madam Lu thought about it, then turned to the three Imperial Physicians and said, “In this case, let’s visit the remaining injured first.”

There was no objection from the Imperial Physicians. They followed Madam Lu to treat the remaining several injured.

By the time all the other patients had been treated, four hours had passed.

When everyone returned to the outside of Xiu Fengyuan’s room, the scene remained the same with the doctor and maids still standing at the door.

“Has Doctor Xu not finished yet?” Madam Lu couldn’t help but wonder.

“Replying to Madam, it seems he hasn’t, we haven’t seen him come out yet,” the doctor at the door responded.

This made Madam Lu hesitate. It was already late, and she wasn’t sure if she should have the Imperial Physicians diagnose Xiu Fengyuan first.

At this point, Xing Jiang spoke up: “What kind of treatment method is Dr Xu using that it takes so long?”
