“That can’t be possible! My Chen!” Mrs. Duke North rushed out of the crowd and came to the blood-covered boy. “Chen, you should not die, you can’t leave me alone in this world! What can I do?!” Mrs. Duke North burst out in tears.
The imperial doctors in the room also started to wipe their tears.
Duke North died in the battlefield years earlier, when the battle between the country and North Qi arose, so only the mother and the son were left. Now that the Young Duke grew up, she had to see him dying too. That was just so devastating.
The Dean was also wiping his tears. He knew that all was doomed. He had thought that Gu Chaoyan could have a way out, but now it seemed that she could not do anything either.
He patted the eunuch next to him. “Tell the King, we have tried our best.”
“Hang on.” Gu Chaoyan stopped the eunuch.
She threw a look at the Dean, took a deep breath and said seriously, “Dean, let me have a try.”
The Dean looked at Gu Chaoyan with a surprised look on his face. He was both glad and shocked.
He had witnessed how Gu Chaoyan shocked everyone with her pills. Now she said that she was going to have a try, then there was a huge chance that Young Duke would survive.
The Dean wiped his tears. “Okay!” Then he led Gu Chaoyan to the bedside.
He helped Mrs. Duke up and said, “Madame, let my student have a try. Young Duke might live on.”
Mrs. Duke North already felt dizzy at this time. When she heard what the Dean said, her eyes sparkled, but as she saw Gu Chaoyan, her face sank. “She is just a young girl, what can she do? Even the Imperial doctors failed, what can she do?” Mrs. Duke North was already out of her mind.
It was an uncontrollable behavior from going from hope to disappointment.
Gu Chaoyan knew that she did not have time or the chance to explain everything to Mrs. Duke North. She had to hurry up, otherwise she would definitely fail. So she said directly, “Get Mrs. Duke North out first, do the same for all the Imperial doctors. Dean, and Yuanxiang, stay and help me.”
Gu Chaoyan looked very calm and she spoke resolutely, so the imperial doctors did not even get a chance to suspect her abilities, when they started to follow her order.
They pulled Mrs. Duke North and all went out.
Gu Chaoyan squatted to check the Young Duke. The blood had already stopped in every other wounded area, except for the arrow by his heart.
Gu Chaoyan got ready for the blood-stopper, whilst dropping some magical water inside, then she passed it to Li Yuanxiang. “Yuanxiang, hold this. The moment I pull the arrow out, paste this upon the wound directly!”
The moment she stretched out her hands... Gu Chaoyan thought for a while and fed him one pill. Then without any hesitation, she pulled out the arrow and at that very second, Li Yuanxiang put the medicine upon the wound.
The blood stopped.
Gu Chaoyan instantly took out her needles and started acupuncture.
Apart from the arrow pulling, acupuncture would cost her a lot of energy. Gu Chaoyan was doing the job calmly as the sweat started to drip down her forehead. Li Yuanxiang helped to wipe away the sweat drops.
When the acupuncture was done, two hours had already passed.
The moment that Gu Chaoyan pulled out the last needle, Zheng Chenyi’s eyes opened.
