The Lucky Heiress

Chapter 485: Chapter 485: Questioning Xu Heyou’s Medical Skills_1

No one standing at the door answered.

Even Wei Yichen just quietly stood aside, waiting.

Xing Jiang shifted his gaze to Wei Jinyi, who was standing guard by the door.

“Are you from King Rui’s Residence?” Xing Jiang asked.

“Yes.” answered Wei Jinyi, his expression serious.

“Can we go in and take a look?” Xing Jiang asked.

“No.” Wei Jinyi responded.

“Why not?”

“Doctor Xu dislikes being interrupted.”

Wei Jinyi’s response and attitude left Xing Jiang looking displeased.

Originally, treating others was not within their duties. They had only agreed to help out of respect for the Lu family’s old lady.

But this man had the audacity to stop them at the door.

“For many years as a physician, I have never seen any treatment procedure for physical injuries take such a long time. Even the art of acupuncture doesn’t take this long. If it were some other internal disease, it would be a different matter. But I have never seen it with physical injuries, and neither have my fellow medical colleagues.” Xing Jiang said.

After Xing Jiang had finished speaking, the two imperial physicians standing behind him nodded in agreement.

The meaning was clear: a treatment method unknown to the doctors of the Imperial Institute of Medicine; was the doctor sent by King Rui’s Residence simply messing around?

Xing Jiang then turned to the old lady Lu and said, “Madam, it won’t disturb Doctor Xu if we go in now. It might even be helpful.”

At the moment, the old lady Lu was somewhat hesitant. The injured person was her grandson’s good friend, and he was injured at the Lu Residence. They had a responsibility towards him.

After considering for a moment, with the safety of Xiu Fengyuan in mind, the old lady Lu said to Wei Jinyi, “Young man, please step aside and let the imperial doctors in to examine young master Xiu.”

Wei Jinyi remained as still as a mountain.

“Young man?” The old lady Lu called out again.

“Without the orders of King Rui and Queen Rui, I will not let anyone interfere with Doctor Xu’s work.” Wei Jinyi responded without any change in expression.

Xing Jiang and the others didn’t expect Wei Jinyi to disregard even the old lady Lu’s dignity.

The faces of the few of them turned somewhat unpleasant, and Xing Jiang said, “Madam, saving people is the priority!”

After hesitating for a while, the old lady Lu ordered, “Escort away the guard from King Rui’s Residence.”

Upon receiving the order, the old lady Lu’s personal guard stepped forwards, wanting to ‘escort’ Wei Jinyi away.

Just as a hand was extended towards Wei Jinyi, he grabbed the arm and swung the guard away.

Another man saw this and swung his fist towards Wei Jinyi. His fist was stopped right in front of Wei Jinyi’s face and then twisted one hundred and eighty degrees, twisting the man’s arm in the process.

The man, in pain, didn’t have a chance to react before receiving a kick to the abdomen, causing him to fall backwards.

The old lady Lu looked startled. She knew best about the skills of her personal guards. They were handpicked and trained by her and her late husband, their skills unmatched by average guards.

However, in front of Wei Jinyi, they were unable to withstand a single move.

This was the highest level of martial arts she had ever seen in all her years.

At this time, the other guards in the courtyard came rushing over, preparing to face off against Wei Jinyi.

“Hold on!” The old lady Lu called out to stop them.

She did not wish to have a conflict with the people from King Rui’s Residence. She had only wanted the guards to back Wei Jinyi off earlier.

But this man was a top-notch expert, and it would not be easy for the people in her residence to get rid of him. If they forced their way, things could get complicated.

“Madam,” Xing Jiang wanted to say more seeing the old lady had stopped.

Just then, the door opened.

Xiumei, who was dressed as a male attendant, said to the people outside, “Doctor Xu has finished diagnosing young master Xiu. Madam and the Imperial Medical Officer, please come in.”

Upon hearing this, Xing Jiang was the first to walk into the room.

We Jinyi did not stop him this time and followed Xing Jiang into the room.

Wei Ruo had already packed away his medical equipment, and was sitting in front of Xiu Fengyuan’s bed, finishing up the bandaging.

Xiu Fengyuan had awoken and was looking absentmindedly at his reattached right arm.

He could still not feel the presence of his right arm, let alone move it. But seeing that it was there was a comfort to him.

Moreover, Doctor Xu had told him that there was a possibility of restoring his right arm. This ignited a flicker of hope deep within him.

After Xing Jiang entered, Wei Ruo stepped aside, allowing him to come forward and take Xiu Fengyuan’s pulse.

After taking the pulse, Xing Jiang found no abnormalities. He then turned his head to look at Wei Ruo.

“What was Doctor Xu doing in this room for so long?” Xing Jiang asked.

“Reattaching the arm.” Wei Ruo responded.

It was then that the old lady Lu, who had just entered, noticed the abnormality on Xiu Fengyuan’s body.

“Did you reattach his severed arm?” The old lady Lu’s face showed an incredulous expression.

“Yes.” Wei Ruo answered.

Xing Jiang laughed, “Ignorant youth! You think that sewing the arm back would be useful? This is simply absurd! After you sew it back, the arm will still rot and decay! You better remove it immediately to prevent the spread to other parts of his body!”

“What the officer said makes sense. If it were just simply sewn together, the arm could not be used again. The blood vessels would not circulate and the body would definitely rot. The rot will also affect the area it is connected to.” Wei Ruo answered.

“Do you think that just reattaching the blood vessels, this arm can be used again?” Xing Jiang spoke scornfully.

Was this ignorant youth thinking they had never tried this before?

“Just the blood vessels alone certainly cannot. The tendons must also be sewn together for there to be a chance of recovery.” Wei Ruo replied.

“Sew the tendons together? Are you building castles in the air?”

“Sir, I understand that what I’m saying is difficult and it’s normal if you don’t believe me. But please give me some time. If Xiu Fengyuan cannot recover, it’s my incompetence.” Wei Ruo said.

“But if he develops a fever or faints because of the arm you reattached, would you bear it?” Xing Jiang challenged Wei Ruo.

“I can’t guarantee 100% that his arm will recover after being reattached, but I can assure you that it will not lead to a more severe condition.” Wei Ruo replied.

Wei Ruo would naturally disinfect and reduce inflammation regularly, as well as prescribe medicine to Xiu Fengyuan to ensure the normal function of his body.

“Absurd. If there’s no certainty, you shouldn’t gamble with a patient’s life!” Xing Jiang scolded.

At that moment, Xiu Fengyuan spoke up, “I’m willing to bet.”

Xing Jiang looked at him, and warned him sternly, “Do you know that if that arm rots, the healthy parts of your body will also rot, and by then, the pain you will suffer will be even greater, and your life may not even be guaranteed!”
