The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 424: All Is in Vain

The two of them carried Gu Mei into the main room, where there was a bamboo bed, and gently laid her down on it.

The knife in her back was still gleaming as it was stuck there.

Yun Jiao quickly pulled out the antiseptic solution she had hidden in her clothes. She had deliberately brought it along earlier, intending to splash it into the eyes of the bad guys when they weren’t expecting it. But she hadn’t had a chance to use it before, so now it came in handy.

She appeared calm on the surface, quickly disinfecting the silver needles, then instructed Shen Qing, "Go ask the neighbors in this area and see who has White Medicine."

Then she called out to Jiang Youzhi, "Go back to Renxin Hall once more and get all the White Medicine, bring bandages, ginseng—"

She paused, unsure what else could save Gu Mei’s life.

Shen Qing listened and ran off quickly, while Jiang Youzhi waited a few breaths, and seeing she didn’t continue speaking, he left too.

Yun Jiao had Gu Lian support Gu Mei for her so she could perform acupuncture to stop the bleeding.

Gu Mei now had a knife stuck in her back and couldn’t lie on her back. Gu Lian carefully helped her sit up, letting one side of her body lean against herself. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Yun Jiao tore open Gu Mei’s clothes, and her uncle quickly stepped out.

Then Yun Jiao inserted the silver needles one by one into Gu Mei’s acupoints, several needles on her back as well, blocking the flow of blood.

The bleeding continued but the amount diminished significantly.

Gu Mei was still conscious at this moment, leaning against Gu Lian, she gently shook her head, "You need not trouble yourself, I know I’m done."

With these words, Yun Jiao, who had just appeared calm, began to tremble all over.

She shook her head and murmured, "No, I can save you, there will be a way."

At that moment, she glanced at her hands.

When she had been doing the acupuncture, her hands had been drenched in blood.

In that instant, she suddenly understood what it means to have a blood connection.

It’s when the person with whom you have a blood connection hurts, you too feel the pain.

She thought she didn’t have much affection for Gu Mei.

The last time she saved her, it was only because she felt she didn’t deserve to die, and the cost of saving her—five hundred taels of silver—meant nothing to her.

But at this moment, she clearly felt that Gu Mei was her true sister.

In that instant, she would risk everything to save her, simply because they were blood-related.

Yun Jiao knew very well that if Gu Mei hadn’t pulled her a bit, she would be the one in this situation right now.

Suddenly, she saw Gu Mei’s pupils gradually dilate, reminding her of something, and she rushed into the inner room, darting into the medicine store,

The remaining half of the ginseng, which she had sold half to the Zhang family last time, was still in her medicine store.

She quickly found the ginseng and grabbed a medicine knife to cut it into a dozen slices, hastily running back out.

As soon as she emerged, she began stuffing the ginseng slices into Gu Mei’s mouth, urging urgently, "Quick, chew, swallow quickly."

She knew Gu Mei was nearing the end, but right now besides feeding her some ginseng, there was nothing she could do.

Surgery couldn’t be performed here.

There were no surgical instruments, no conditions for surgery, no blood transfusions possible.

She could only wait for White Medicine to arrive and see if they could attempt to remove the knife.

She didn’t know if Gu Mei could hold on until that time, and even if she did, she was clear that the moment the knife was pulled, it could be her sister’s death.

The human heart is like a pump; the instant the knife is pulled out, blood is sure to spurt forth.

No hemostatic clamp, no blood transfusion measures; relying solely on White Medicine to stop the bleeding, Yun Jiao knew it was almost impossible for Gu Mei to survive.

Such an injury, even in modern times, might not be survivable.

Even though she mentally understood all this, she still held onto a fragile hope.
