The Crown Prince of the Tang dynasty was undergoing an operation. This was a very serious matter. Just as Li Chengqian was being pushed into the specially prepared operation room in the East Palace, the entire East Palace was sealed off. It could be said that not even a drop of water could enter.
The main hall of the East Palace where the operation room was located had long been taken over by the School of Medicine. The chief surgeon was Elder Hua, and the one in charge of administering the medicine was Sun Simiao. Mo Wu was assisting at the side. All the disinfection procedures were carried out on the spot, and there were also special personnel supervising. They strived for perfection and could not afford the slightest negligence.
Outside the main hall of the Eastern Palace, everyone stared at the door of the main hall and waited anxiously.
"Why is there still no movement?!" Empress Zhangsun said worriedly. Not a single sound came out from the main hall. How could Empress Zhangsun not be anxious?
"Mother, don't worry. With Doctor Sun and Elder Hua, I believe that Big Brother will definitely recover." Princess Changle comforted.
Li Shimin did not say a word. Even though his heart was burning with anxiety, his eyes occasionally stared at the door of the East Palace, revealing his inner thoughts.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. The School of Medicine is no longer what it used to be. Since the School of Medicine has volunteered, they naturally have considerable confidence that the Crown Prince will definitely survive this ordeal." Meton advised from the side.
Li Shimin nodded. Ever since the School of Medicine was supported by Li Chengqian and made use of the Mo Hospital's Mo Technique, coupled with the inherent profitability of the School of Medicine, it was simply like a cheat code. In just a few short years, the School of Medicine had surpassed the Imperial Institute of Medicine and became the holy land of the world's medicine. Countless patients were cured every day.
In this world, if there was a disease that even the Mo Hospital could not cure, then one could only pray for a miracle.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. The Crown Prince is a good person and will definitely be safe." Yang Fei said respectfully.
Not only were Empress Zhangsun and her son here, but the Crown Prince was also being treated. The concubines and other princes of the Imperial Harem naturally came to visit as well. Everyone's thoughts were hard to understand. If Li Chengqian's operation was successful, then the Crown Prince's position would be as stable as Mount Tai. If the Crown Prince's operation failed, then the other princes would still have a chance.
However, the crowd naturally did not reveal any other strange expressions. On the surface, they were all praying wholeheartedly for Crown Prince Li Chengqian's surgery to succeed.
Two hours passed, but there was still no movement in the main hall of the Eastern Palace. Even the most composed Li Shimin could not help but pace back and forth.
Finally, with a creak, the doors to the Eastern Palace Main Hall opened. Black Five walked out and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Doctor Mo, how is Qian 'er?" Seeing Black Five, Empress Zhangsun hurried forward and asked anxiously.
"Replying to the Empress, the operation was very successful. His Highness the Crown Prince has already regained consciousness. His Highness the Crown Prince's bones have already been reconnected, the wound has been stitched up, and the exterior has been fixed with plaster. As long as there are no signs of infection, I believe that His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely recover." Black Five solemnly said.
"That's good!" Empress Zhangsun immediately heaved a sigh of relief. The Doctor had already explained the problem of infection, and the most important thing now was to take care of the Crown Prince after the operation.
"I will have to trouble the Doctor for everything." Li Shimin also heaved a sigh of relief. As long as the operation was successful, it was equivalent to half of the success. He already had a basic understanding of the Doctor's disinfection procedures, and he believed that if there were no accidents, there would definitely be no problems.
"Then can I take a look at Qian 'er?" Empress Zhangsun anxiously asked.
Black Five shook his head and said, "The greatest taboo for post-operation infections is to come into contact with the outside world. Now that the Eastern Palace Main Hall has been completely disinfected, if outsiders were to enter, it would increase the risk of infection. In the end, the Empress and His Majesty still have to look through the glass. Do not enter the ward, and do not allow too many people to enter. All of His Highness the Crown Prince's care will be handled by the Doctor's disciples."
In this era, there were no antibiotics. In order to reduce the chances of Li Chengqian getting an infection, the Doctor had directly turned the Eastern Palace Main Hall into a sterile room. It could be said that they had made the most comprehensive preparations.
"Then we will follow Doctor Mo's opinion." Li Shimin said in a clear voice.
If others did not give face to Empress Zhangsun and Li Shimin, they would have to bear the consequences. However, after being rejected by Black Five, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun did not have the slightest bit of dissatisfaction. Instead, they were extremely cooperative.
"Your Majesty is too courteous. You can just call me Black Five." Black Five said respectfully.
"Black Five, I know you. You were the one who discovered the cure for night blindness. Countless injured soldiers of the Tang dynasty also survived through your hands. This time, I believe that you will definitely not disappoint me." Li Shimin said as he looked deeply at Black Five.
"Your Majesty is too serious. No matter if it is an ordinary soldier or the Crown Prince, in the eyes of the Doctor, they are all patients. We will do our best to treat them." Black Five said solemnly.
"Good! Good! A doctor has the heart of a parent. This is true medical ethics. "Li Shimin praised repeatedly. Only then did he and Empress Zhangsun change into the nurse's uniform. Meton and Princess Changle also changed into the nurse's uniform and entered the main hall of the Eastern Palace.
Through the glass, Meton saw Li Chengqian lying on the bed. He had just awoken from the anesthesia and was still extremely weak. Seeing Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun walk over, he struggled to get up but was stopped by Sun Simiao and Hua Yuan who were watching over him.
"Please forgive Chengqian for not being able to pay respects to Father and Mother." Li Chengqian said weakly.
"There is no need to be so courteous. You have just recovered. Rest well. "Empress Zhangsun looked at Li Chengqian and said with heartache. That child was the flesh that fell from his mother's body. Yet, because of an accident, Li Chengqian had to suffer twice. How could Empress Zhangsun not feel heartache?
"Recuperate well. We hope that we will be able to see the Crown Prince walking as if he is flying soon." Li Shimin said in a low voice. When he said the two words' Crown Prince ', he could not help but emphasize it.
"Yes, Father!" Li Chengqian's eyes lit up as he nodded.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is time for the visit. The Crown Prince has just awoken and needs to rest." Seeing that it was about time, Doctor Mo's occupational disease acted up again. Even Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun continued to urge him.
"Good. Let Qian 'er rest first. We will visit again tomorrow." Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun said.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be anxious. As long as the wound is not infected, the Crown Prince will be able to come out and have his stitches removed in at most ten days. He will be able to live a normal life. All that is left is for his bones to heal." Mo Wu said.
Li Shimin nodded and walked out of the Eastern Palace Main Hall with Empress Zhangsun.
Meton left the visit time for Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun. Only when he was about to leave did he wave goodbye to Li Chengqian.
After everyone left, Sun Simiao, Elder Hua, and Mo Wu took turns to monitor Li Chengqian's condition. Treating Li Chengqian was the School of Medicine's first performance in the imperial court. However, it concerned the future of the School of Medicine. They had to ensure that Li Chengqian's condition was flawless.
