Chapter 346: Chapter 346 Endless Dispute
"Amputation tools?"
Hearing the voice, Doctor Li and Zhu Xinyue immediately turned around, only to find that Chu Baihan had unexpectedly been standing behind them.
"Princess... Princess."
Since Doctor Li had briefly seen Chu Baihan’s august presence the day before, he now recognized her immediately.
He even wanted to bow.
But Chu Baihan spoke first: "Doctor Li, there is no need for formalities. You need only tell this princess, do you have the tools for amputation?"
"I have... a knife," Doctor Li said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"Let’s try it," Chu Baihan murmured softly, her expression grave.
"Princess, do you also think that Deputy General Zheng’s leg cannot be saved?" Zhu Xinyue quickly asked.
"Yes. Although this princess wishes for his leg to be intact too, the rot is too severe. If we do not remove it now, the consequences will be as Doctor Li has said," Chu Baihan said solemnly.
Hearing her words, Zhu Xinyue and Doctor Li exchanged a look, both of them feeling immensely complicated.
"But, Princess, just now Xie Feifei said she has a way to save Deputy General Zheng’s leg."
Zhu Xinyue spoke in a muffled voice.
"This princess has already heard. Deputy General Zheng is adamant about not having his leg sawed off, and if Feifei says she can save him, he will certainly trust her unconditionally," Chu Baihan nodded.
She could understand Deputy General Zheng’s mindset too.
Anyone would find it unacceptable to lose both their legs.
Especially since Deputy General Zheng still wished to return to the battlefield.
"If we rashly go now, he will probably refuse treatment. Even though you’re of high status and he wouldn’t dare to disobey, but..."
Zhu Xinyue also had a clear understanding of the situation, and she was feeling very troubled at this moment.
Chu Baihan nodded, "If Deputy General Zheng doesn’t accept this princess’s treatment, it wouldn’t be right to force him with my authority. After all, patient cooperation is necessary during treatment. However... his injury is indeed critical."
What is to be done in such a situation?
Even Chu Baihan felt a dull headache at this time, her delicate brows beginning to furrow.
"Let’s try it. Doctor Li, take the tools and follow me,"
Chu Baihan sighed softly, and then said patiently.
Deputy General Zheng must have met with this misfortune serving Nanduan Kingdom; she could not stand by and watch him lose his life.
"Yes, Princess," Doctor Li quickly nodded and then hurried to get the medicine box.
...
Deputy General Zheng had already been taken back to his tent.
He lay on the bed, with Xie Feifei and Doctor Zhang standing by the bedside.
Not far away, Zhu Yinian and other soldiers stood with grave expressions.
Xie Feifei rolled up Deputy General Zheng’s trouser leg, and soon the bloody water and rotting flesh were exposed to their view.
"Hiss..."
"How much pain must Deputy General Zheng be in," those soldiers said, scratching their heads anxiously.
"Deputy General Zheng, take this first."
Xie Feifei stuffed a dose of medicine pills into Deputy General Zheng’s mouth.
His face, previously pale from pain, with teeth clenched until they nearly bled, gradually began to relax as the pain started to subside after taking the pills, and his complexion improved significantly.
"Look, Deputy General Zheng’s complexion is much better,"
The onlookers noticed and spoke excitedly.
"Indeed, Deputy General Zheng looks much better."
"Miss Xie really can save him."
"Miss Xie’s medical skills are incredible, she’s like a divine doctor incarnate."
"..."
Hearing the praises coming from behind, Xie Feifei’s lips curled into a satisfied smile.
She thoroughly enjoyed these praises.
"Deputy General Zheng, you don’t have to worry. I will start applying the medicine now. Within three days, you will certainly recover fully."
She took out the pitch-black herbs from her medical box and said to Deputy General Zheng with a smile.
Deputy General Zheng almost burst into tears.
"Miss Xie, thank you. You are like a second set of parents to me."
Xie Feifei retracted her gaze and was about to apply the pitch-black herbs to the wound.
"Hold on."
Just at that moment, Chu Baihan’s cool voice came from the doorway.
Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see her walking in quickly with Zhu Xinyue, Doctor Li, and Feng Shan.
"Princess, how come you are here?"
Zhu Yinian immediately spoke out.
"Deputy General Zheng’s leg cannot be saved. If you want to save his life, you must not apply the medicine rashly," Chu Baihan said in a cool tone.
What?
After she spoke, everyone looked at each other in disbelief.
"Princess, Miss Xie said she could save it!"
At that moment, Deputy General Zheng spoke through clenched teeth.
His face turned red, and he sounded very resentful.
He had just barely gotten his hopes up when Xie Feifei said she could save his leg, only for the Princess to suddenly turn up and declare his leg beyond saving.
Even though she was of high status, he couldn’t help being angry.
"Deputy General Zheng, I know you are a hero and you want to go to the battlefield to protect your country. But you need to stay alive to have a chance. Your leg is already rotten, and even if the rotten flesh is completely cut off, it’s too late, and the flesh and bone cannot regrow. If you delay any further, your life will also be at risk," Chu Baihan said earnestly.
But Deputy General Zheng was stubborn as an ox, his eyes bloodshot. Then he roared, "Princess, with all due respect, I should follow your commands. But if you take my leg, you take my life. If you want me to lose my leg, you might as well kill me now."
Seeing Deputy General Zheng like this, the soldiers’ eyes reddened.
Noticing that Doctor Li was standing next to Chu Baihan, they spoke out desperately, "Princess, don’t tell us you want to amputate Deputy General Zheng’s leg because of the slander from Doctor Li and Miss Zhu."
"By doing this, it’s clear you want to drive Deputy General Zheng to his death."
Once someone put forth this notion, the emotions of the others were stirred.
Their eyes turned red, and they no longer cared that the person before them was the Princess of Nanduan Kingdom, their commander.
Clenching their fists, they continued angrily, "Miss Xie has already said she can save Deputy General Zheng’s leg. Why are you still trying to stop her?"
"Silence!"
Zhu Yinian scolded the soldiers.
"The Princess also possesses medical skills. Perhaps you should listen to her suggestion," he said seriously.
Though he too hoped to save Deputy General Zheng’s leg, he was clearly more composed than the others.
The reputation of the Princess’s medical expertise had already spread throughout the army and the capital, so he trusted that she had her own judgment regarding Deputy General Zheng’s treatment.
"Princess, may I say a word?"
Just as the tension was reaching its peak, Xie Feifei suddenly spoke softly.
She looked up at Chu Baihan, her voice frail, making her appear quite delicate.
"Princess, you have always been the object of my admiration. I have heard many stories about your healing achievements and believe that your medical skills must be far superior to mine. Therefore, let’s proceed with your method of saving him. My medical knowledge is limited; I nearly harmed Deputy General Zheng, which is unforgivable."
As she spoke, she bit her lower lip, her eyes slightly red, as if she was carrying a great sin.
Chu Baihan: "..."
Zhu Xinyue: "..."
