162 Adding Salt to a Wound

In Gu Qingxue’s previous life, she had been to a mysterious island. There were many rare medicinal herbs on the island, and one of them was a precious plant called the Undying Flower. It could heal even the most severe external injuries.

However, the Undying Flower was useless against wounds that had already healed.

In other words, she needed to re-cut open the wounds of Imperial Duke Zhan, squeeze out the blood stasis from his body, and help him resuture the wounds. Only with the help of the Undying Flower would he be able to completely heal.

This process would definitely be extremely painful.

!!
“Doesn’t that mean that Imperial Duke Zhan will have to suffer another injury?” The attendant standing at the side asked in surprise.

Once the old wound was cut open again, it was equivalent to adding salt to the wound!

Moreover, such a reckless treatment method was unheard of!

“Imperial Duke Zhan can consider it. If you are not willing, I can also treat you conservatively. At least, I can guarantee that you will live for another ten years,” Gu Qingxue said bluntly.

Imperial Duke Zhan took a deep breath and said without hesitation, “As long as I can recover fully, I am willing to suffer no matter how much pain I have to go through!”

“Alright, then let’s treat one-fifth of the wounds on the duke’s body today. We will take it step by step, slowly.” After saying that, Gu Qingxue looked at the attendant and asked for hot water, gauze, sharp blades, and other things that she could use.

The attendant quickly wrote it down and prepared everything that Gu Qingxue needed as soon as possible.

After letting the attendant leave the room, Gu Qingxue locked the door and covered the eyes of the Duke of Zhan. Then, she communicated with the little butler with her mind.

“Little butler, how many points did I get for treating the imperial duke’s wife just now? Help me recount it,” Gu Qingxue asked the little butler with her mind.

The little butler answered seriously, “Master, you cured the imperial duke’s wife, Qiao Yi, and you got 1,000 points. Including the various medicines that you used before, after deducting the points, you have a total of 550 points left.”

“Then how many points do I need to exchange for the Undying Flower?” Gu Qingxue asked cautiously.

The Undying Flower was far more precious than all the medicines that she had used before, so the price must be quite high.

As expected, the young butler revealed a kind smile, “The Undying Flower is precious medicine. It requires 500 points to use once. Master, do you need to exchange for it?”

The young butler’s answer was indeed within Gu Qingxue’s expectations.

She needed to use the Undying Flower every time she treated Imperial Duke Zhan. In other words, she needed to use the Undying Flower five times in total.

That was a total of 2,500 points!

Thinking of this, Gu Qingxue’s heart ached so much that she almost suffocated.

However, Imperial Duke Zhan and Madam Qiao were both kind-hearted people. They had done many good deeds. Otherwise, she would not have been able to earn 1,000 points in one go after curing Madam Qiao.

The points she would earn after curing Imperial Duke Zhan would definitely be much higher than Madam Qiao’s!

Gu Qingxue held back her heartache and said to the young butler helplessly, “Exchange it.”

“Thank you for your patronage, host.” As soon as the young butler finished his words, a stalk of Undying Flower appeared in Gu Qingxue’s hand.

Gu Qingxue then took out some anesthetics from the research institute.

Imperial Duke Zhan had his eyes closed the whole time, and he could not help but feel a little uneasy, “Miss Gu, when shall we begin?”

“Next, I will give Imperial Duke Zhan a drug. You can start counting, and you will temporarily lose consciousness when he reaches ten.” Gu Qingxue injected an anesthetic into Imperial Duke Zhan as she spoke.
