The Prince Regent Is Powerful, And My Mommy Is Expecting Again! - Chapter 161

161 Can I Still Be Saved?

The man seemed to have been waiting for Gu Qingxue here for a long time. After getting off the carriage, he bowed to her, “Miss Gu.”

Gu Qingxue immediately recognized that this man was the attendant of Imperial Duke Zhan. “Where is the Imperial Duke Zhan? Bring me there to have a look.”

What was the status of Imperial Duke Zhan? The deputy general would naturally be able to resolve the issue of the morale of the army being scattered. There was no need for Imperial Duke Zhan to personally take action.

It was just an excuse to help Imperial Duke Zhan leave the manor.

!!
The attendant quickly nodded his head. After inviting Gu Qingxue to board the carriage, he hurriedly drove the carriage toward a private residence in the west of the city.

In order to conceal her identity, Gu Qingxue entered through the back door of the private residence. Very quickly, she was led by the attendant to meet Imperial Duke Zhan.

In the room, Imperial Duke Zhan had changed from his previous energetic appearance. His face was deathly pale, and even his breathing seemed extremely weak.

It was not until he heard Gu Qingxue enter the room that he raised his eyes. “Miss Gu, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

Gu Qingxue observed Imperial Duke Zhan. “It seems that the Imperial Duke Zhan has been following my instructions and hasn’t taken any medicine for the past few days.”

Imperial Duke Zhan laughed bitterly. “It was also because I didn’t take any medicine to maintain my health that I was afraid of being exposed in front of Yi’er, so I had no choice but to find an excuse to leave the house. “Logically speaking, today is Yi’er’s last day of treatment, so I should be by her side.”

“Don’t worry, Imperial Duke Zhan, everything is as usual. The most important thing now is to treat your injuries first, Imperial Duke Zhan.” Sitting by the side, Gu Qingxue extended her hand to check Imperial Duke Zhan’s pulse.

Gu Qingxue took a closer look at Imperial Duke Zhan’s condition, and could not help but frown.

Imperial Duke Zhan’s condition was actually more serious than she had imagined.

He had been on the battlefield all year round, so there were many wounds on Imperial Duke Zhan’s body. Many of them were hastily treated, and there was no cure for them.

Improper treatment of the wounds could possibly affect his recovery, and there were so many wounds on Imperial Duke Zhan’s body, and each of them had left a bit of a scar. It had accumulated over time to this day, and naturally, it would cause his body to become weak.

“Miss Gu, there’s no need to worry. Even if it can’t be cured, there’s no harm,” Imperial Duke Zhan comforted when he saw Gu Qingxue’s grave expression, “I’ve said it before. I’ve seen many doctors. They all said that it was because I had suffered too many injuries when I was young that my meridians and bones had not fully recovered. Over time, it caused my Qi and blood to be obstructed. My body had accumulated too much medicine that had not been absorbed and blood statis. This had affected my body, and it was very difficult for me to recover.”

It was not that Imperial Duke Zhan had never met a doctor like Gu Qingxue.

In the beginning, they had all vowed that they would be able to cure him. However, after confirming his condition, they would give up.

Therefore, before he asked Gu Qingxue to treat him today, he did not have much hope.

“It’s not that I don’t have a way. It’s just that my treatment method will be very painful for Imperial Duke Zhan,” Gu Qingxue said with a grave expression.

Hope rekindled in the eyes of Imperial Duke Zhan. “Does this mean that I can still be saved?”

“Yes. The doctors that Imperial Duke Zhan had seen were right. Imperial Duke Zhan had been weak because he had not fully recovered from his injuries for many years. The only way to solve this situation was to release the blood stasis and let all the wounds that had not recovered fully heal,” Gu Qingxue explained with a grave expression when she saw Imperial Duke Zhan was puzzled, “That is to say, I want to cut open all the wounds that the duke seems to have healed, release the blood stasis, and resuture the wounds. Only after these wounds have healed can the imperial duke recover.”
