Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Anyway, It’s All Medicine King’s Family

It seems better not to be the Medicine King. I could just be a Female Divine Doctor or something similar. There’s no rule stating the Medicine King must be a man. Yes, that’s it. Next time I go out on a call, I can pretend to be the Medicine King’s daughter—a Little Medicine King. It’s all in the Medicine King family anyway.

Gu Qingli instantly felt so clever. Indeed, with Xiao Yunjing not around, her mind worked much better. It really wasn’t good to be idle all day.

The woman stretched out her right hand, and Gu Qingli took her pulse.

In less than the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, about seven or eight minutes, Gu Qingli diagnosed the woman’s condition.

She then signaled for the woman to lie down, pressed on her abdomen, and left the patient’s room.

The three of them arrived at another room, Wuyou’s quarters.

"Miss, is there something growing inside this woman’s abdomen?" Wuyou asked once the door was closed. She was sure there was something growing inside, but she didn’t know what it was or how to treat it.

"Yes, it’s a tumor. The medicine she took before really didn’t help much."

"A tumor? Then what should we do?" Wuyou frowned. It was the first time she had heard of such a thing.

Wuyou felt that her Miss knew so much. She used to think she was quite skilled, but compared to her Miss... there was no comparison! She felt so ashamed!

Gu Qingli reached out, smoothed Wuyou’s brow, and said with a smile, "What’s so difficult about it? We just need to cut open her abdomen, remove the tumor, and with my medicinal pills, she’ll recover within a month."

"What? Cut open her abdomen?" Wuyou looked horrified.

"Yes. Otherwise, how else could you cure her?"

"This... there really is no other way." Wuyou shook her head.

"Then that settles it. If that woman doesn’t agree to the surgery, the tumor in her abdomen will certainly rupture within a month. The day the tumor ruptures will be the day she dies. Understand?"

Wuyou nodded. Regardless of whether her Miss’s proposed method would work, at this point, it was a case of trying anything in a desperate situation.

Gu Qingli asked her to communicate with the patient and her family, and then prepare for the surgery.

She planned to slowly teach Wuyou Western surgical procedures.

This way, if Wuyou encountered patients requiring emergency surgery in the future, she could perform it herself and wouldn’t have to wait until it was too late for Gu Qingli to arrive.

Upon hearing that Gu Qingli was going to teach her surgery, Wuyou became incredibly eager and quickly ran off to communicate with the patient.

Her method of communication was simply to intimidate the man with her cold demeanor; he wouldn’t dare disagree.

The woman’s condition had become so severe because that man hadn’t believed she was ill, insisting instead that she was pregnant.

Who has ever heard of a pregnancy lasting two years without giving birth?

Only then did the man become terrified and start taking his wife to see various doctors.

His legs were nearly broken from running around, and all their money was spent before they finally found the Gu Clinic, only for him to get a scolding from Wuyou.

He became timid as soon as he saw Wuyou.

Afterward, Wuqing and Wuyou prepared the patient’s room as Gu Qingli instructed, readying the Anesthesia Powder and Ginseng slices, just in case the patient couldn’t hold on and needed them to sustain her life.

Of course, Gu Qingli had secretly prepared blood and intravenous infusion equipment in her Space.

The scalpel, naturally, was hers.

Once Wuyou learned the procedure, she could have her own set made.

Everything was now ready.

「On this day, it was not the Medicine King who appeared at the Gu Clinic, but the Female Divine Doctor.」

Gu Qingli had changed back into women’s attire, merely wearing a veil.

The patient had been sent into the room in advance. Gu Qingli and Wuyou changed into practical, short-hemmed clothing.

They couldn’t exactly wear white coats, and they certainly couldn’t perform surgery in beautiful dresses.

Once the lighting inside was sufficiently bright, Gu Qingli went in, with Wuqing carrying in the medical kit she had prepared earlier.

She first arranged all the surgical instruments, put on gloves, and said to Wuyou and Wuqing, whose eyes were shining with anticipation, "Now, I need to take some time to teach you to recognize these surgical instruments. A little later, when I ask for something, you must hand it to me. Make absolutely sure not to give me the wrong one."

Wuyou and Wuqing both nodded seriously.

Gu Qingli immediately began teaching them to recognize the instruments.

Both of them had good memories, and since they were skilled with blades and weapons, they remembered everything Gu Qingli said after she explained it just once.

"Let the surgery begin."

Gu Qingli looked at the woman who was watching them and said, "Don’t be nervous. Just think of it as going to sleep. When you wake up, your abdomen will be all better. Understand?"

The woman weakly nodded at them.

The woman was quite cooperative, likely because she was treating this as a last resort, with nothing left to lose.

"Wuqing, give her the Anesthesia Powder to drink."

Wuqing nodded, lifted the woman’s head, and fed her half a bowl of Anesthesia Powder.

After drinking the Anesthesia Powder, the woman fell asleep within moments.

Naturally, Gu Qingli had added a little something extra to that bowl of Anesthesia Powder. Possessing her unique advantages, she was determined to do everything in her power to save the patient’s life.

This type of surgery would have been considered minor in her previous life, but in this era with its primitive medical conditions, she dared not be complacent.

"Wuqing, undo her clothes."

"Alright, Miss."

Wuqing undid the woman’s clothes, and the three of them gasped at the sight.

The woman’s abdomen was entirely black!

Gu Qingli even worried whether the tumor had become cancerous.

But as long as the patient survived the operation, she would ensure she wouldn’t die thereafter. However, if the woman couldn’t endure the surgery itself, it wouldn’t be due to a lack of her medical skill, but simply fate.

Gu Qingli picked up the scalpel with her right hand and pressed the woman’s abdomen with her left, simultaneously explaining to Wuyou that one couldn’t cut directly over the tumor.

"Wuyou, watch carefully. I’m going to make the incision now."

Wuyou’s eyes widened as she watched intently.

Without blinking, Gu Qingli steadily and gently made the incision.

And then... when Gu Qingli carefully extracted an internal tumor the size of a small ball, Wuyou and Wuqing both stared with wide eyes. Their Miss was simply incredible!

Wuqing immediately brought over a prepared basin to place it in.

Then Gu Qingli quickly cleaned the abdominal cavity. Thankfully, she hadn’t hit any major blood vessels, and there was no significant bleeding.

After cleaning it out, she began to suture the incision, layer by layer.

"Wuyou, remember, the sutures must be catgut. These don’t need to be removed; they will be gradually absorbed..."

Wuyou listened with utmost concentration, not missing a single word Gu Qingli said.

She never imagined surgery could be performed like this, or that wounds could be sutured in such a manner... Everything she had witnessed and heard today completely overturned her understanding of medicine and poisons. The skills she possessed seemed like mere child’s play in front of her Miss.

In the future, I must learn diligently from Miss.

As a member of the Secret Sect, she didn’t enjoy killing at all; she preferred saving people. She loved most to see a life flourish in her hands, rather than end.

By the time the surgery was finished, the patient had not yet awakened.

Wuqing and Wuyou quickly cleaned the room, allowing the patient to rest there in a clean and tidy environment.

After the surgery, Gu Qingli had the patient remain in that room for two days before being moved. She then asked Wuyou to prepare the prescribed medicinal herbs.

When no one was around, she slipped a medicinal pill into the patient’s mouth.

Thus, the surgery was considered complete. All that remained was for the patient to awaken.

After washing her hands and changing her clothes, Gu Qingli came out and saw the man crying beside the basin.

"Why are you crying? Surely you don’t think that was a child?" Gu Qingli couldn’t help but ask, seeing him weeping so heartbrokenly.

The man dried his tears, bowed deeply to her, and said, "Thank you, Little Divine Doctor."
