259 Was Like a Dying Person
Gu Qingxue could not afford to use gas anesthesia yet, and she could not let Gong Lingyu see the whole process of the operation, so she had to give her a general anesthetic.
In addition, Gong Lingyu was weak, so the effect of the anesthetic was exceptionally good. According to her preliminary estimation, Gong Lingyu would need another four or two hours to wake up.
However, it was not a big deal. As long as she stayed by Gong Lingyu’s side and paid attention to the situation, she would be safe.
Knock, knock.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Gu Qingxue looked at the door and heard Miao Yin’s respectful voice from outside, “Lady Gu, as you instructed, I’ve boiled a new hot water.”
Gu Qingxue stood up and opened the door, she smiled at Miao Yin, who was holding a basin of water, and said, “It’s been hard on you for the whole night. The Miss is fine now. She’ll be able to walk when she wakes up before noon. Come in first. Help me clean Yu’er’s body and change her clothes, will you?”
After anesthesia, a person’s body temperature would drop accordingly.
In addition, Gong Lingyu had a weak constitution, so her body temperature would drop even lower than the average person’s. In addition, there was no modern technology to keep her warm, so Gu Qingxue could only help her maintain her normal body temperature by using hot water to wipe her body.
It had been an hour since the last time she rubbed her body, and Gong Lingyu’s body temperature had dropped again. It was time to wipe her body again to restore her body temperature.
Miao Yin was nodding her head. Before she entered the door, Cao Duo, who had been guarding by the side sneakily, squeezed in.
“How can you trouble Lady Gu to do such a menial task? Lady Miao Yin, let me help you change the princess’ clothes,” Cao Duo said as she took the hot water basin from Miao Yin’s hand and forced her way in.
Seeing Cao Duo stretch out her neck to observe Gong Lingyu after she entered, Gu Qingxue could not help but curl her lips coldly.
Cao Duo sounded nice, but she was actually afraid that she would do something wrong to Gong Lingyu, right?
“Lady Gu, please don’t take it to heart. This is what Mother Cao is like.” Miao Yin glanced at Cao Duo with disdain and apologized immediately.
Gu Qingxue did not think much of it and said indifferently, “It’s alright. You can go and help too.”
Miao Yin nodded and went with Cao Duo to clean Gong Lingyu’s body and change her clothes.
Cao Duo had been carefully observing Gong Lingyu’s condition. She found that Gong Lingyu seemed to have passed out. Even though she had secretly pinched Gong Lingyu twice, the other party did not react at all, her entire body was limp and she did not have any strength at all.
Not only that, but Gong Lingyu’s body temperature was also much lower than that of an ordinary person. She looked like a person who was about to die.
After confirming Gong Lingyu’s condition, Cao Duo could not help but smile secretly. Then, she found an excuse and left the courtyard house quietly.
Gu Qingxue and Miao Yin did not pay attention to Cao Duo’s little tricks. They continued to wait for Gong Lingyu to wake up.
Cao Duo quickly left Dafu Village and headed to Qingyuan Town.
Princess Liuying had been following Gong Lingyu from the capital and was currently in Qingyuan Town.
After hearing Cao Duo’s news, Princess Liuying and her subordinates immediately rushed over.
On the way, Princess Liuying asked Cao Duo, “Are you sure that something has really happened to the princess?”
Cao Duo nodded as if she was pounding garlic. “Of course! The princess was unconscious and her body was as cold as a dead person. I was worried that something was wrong, so I especially pinched her waist twice, but she did not show any signs of waking up! Princess, this servant had spent a lot of effort to help you find the right opportunity. If this matter were to spread, it would definitely attract public anger. With this servant’s sacrifice, shouldn’t you express your gratitude?”
Seeing Cao Duo’s crafty expression, Princess Liuying sneered in her heart and gave Bing’er a look.
“Mother Cao, the princess feels sorry for you. This is for Mother Cao.” Bing’er placed a heavy purse into Cao Duo’s hand.
At this moment, the carriage had also arrived outside Dafu Village.
