163 His Old Injuries Would Flare Up and He Would Die Soon

Imperial Duke Zhan was puzzled.

He was obviously very clear-headed, so how could he lose consciousness in just ten seconds?

He felt as if his foot had been pricked by a needle, and then Imperial Duke Zhan started to count, “One, two, three, four…”

Before Imperial Duke Zhan could finish counting these ten numbers, he lost consciousness instantly and fell into a deep sleep.

Gu Qingxue controlled the amount of anesthetic accurately. After ensuring that Imperial Duke Zhan’s state would only be unconscious for about fifteen minutes, she quickly began to treat his wounds.

This time, Gu Qingxue did not plan to treat too many wounds. She only treated the wounds on his two hands.

After taking off Imperial Duke Zhan’s shirt, Gu Qingxue saw the scars all over his body.

She could not help but sigh. Gu Qingxue used alcohol to disinfect the scalpel that she had taken out from the research room. She cut open his flesh along the scar on his arm.

The deep blood mixed with the blood stasis was expelled and flowed into the copper basin that Gu Qingxue had asked the attendant to prepare in advance.

After making sure that the blood stasis had been removed, Gu Qingxue crushed the Undying Flower and applied the medicinal liquid to the wound. She then stitched up the wound and applied a thick layer of hemostatic powder and golden sore medicine to the wound.

It was not difficult for Gu Qingxue to treat the wound, but she needed to be careful.

Gu Qingxue took fifteen minutes to treat eighteen wounds on both of Imperial Duke Zhan’s arms before he woke up.

The blood stasis had been let out from each wound and medicine was applied. After the wound was stitched up, it was covered with gauze.

Imperial Duke Zhan opened his eyes in a daze. He looked at the empty ceiling in a daze and moved his arms subconsciously.

Suddenly, a piercing pain hit him.

Gu Qingxue pressed on Imperial Duke Zhan’s shoulder, she reminded him, “Don’t worry, Imperial Duke Zhan. There are eighteen wounds on your arms. I’ve already treated them for you. The next night will be unbearable for you. You can only drink water at midnight. After tonight, you can have your meal. Five days later, your wounds will be scabbed. When the time comes, remove the bandages, apply some medicine to your wounds and bandage them again. These wounds will be healed in five days at most.”

The effects of the anesthetic would gradually disappear over time. When the sun set, it would be the most painful time for Imperial Duke Zhan.

After enduring through tonight, the situation would be much better the next day.

“Thank you, Miss Gu. Please tell my attendant what you said just now.” Imperial Duke Zhan gradually felt the pain. Even though he had experienced the battlefield, he could not help but tremble in pain.

Seeing Imperial Duke Zhan enduring the pain, Gu Qingxue could do nothing about it.

In order to heal his wounds better, Imperial Duke Zhan could not take any painkillers.

After all, the old wounds on his body added up to be fatal. If he wanted to recover, he would definitely be in pain.

Gu Qingxue did not leave immediately. Instead, she sat in front of the bed and observed Imperial Duke Zhan for a while.

It was not until she was sure that Imperial Duke Zhan was asleep that Gu Qingxue got up and left the room.

Gu Qingxue opened the door and walked out, only to see a delicate figure outside the door.

“Madam?” Gu Qingxue looked at Madam Qiao who appeared outside the door in surprise and then turned her eyes to the attendant not far away.

The attendant also looked embarrassed, and stammered, “It wasn’t me who told the Madam to come here…”

“I came here on my own. I knew that he was hiding something from me, but I didn’t expect that his old injury would flare up and he would die soon.” With tears in her eyes, Madam Qiao walked past Gu Qingxue and into the room.
