Chapter 157

Inside the imperial tent.

Xiao Yunzhou was stunned for a moment, then heard the advice of Meng Chun, the military doctor standing before him.

"Your Majesty, regarding Ba Tu's old wound, the safest approach is to leave it untreated."

"If the fragment is close to the heart vessels, too much tissue would need to be opened. The internal conditions of the human body are extremely complex."

"Excessive blood loss, inability to stop bleeding immediately, and severe post-injury healing and abscess issues could occur."

Xiao Yunzhou interrupted him, "The problem of excessive bleeding..."

His gaze inadvertently shifted to the embroidery needle in Liu Chaniang's hand.

Meng Chun followed his gaze and was taken aback.

He couldn't help but look towards Imperial physician Hu.

Hu gave him a look that said, 'He's not wrong, is he?'

"Your Majesty's words are absolutely correct. It was mentioned long ago in the 'Treatise on the Pathogenesis and Manifestations of All Diseases' that for severed intestines from metal wounds, they can be quickly reconnected... using silk thread to tie off the blood vessels."

"Making a continuous suture in the shape of a bird's tongue... can save the patient."

Imperial physician Hu recited a passage from the book, "Your Majesty is wise; the wound can be sutured."

Meng Chun's eyes widened. What did they mean by 'Your Majesty's words are correct' and 'Your Majesty is wise'? The Emperor hadn't said anything yet, he had just glanced at the needle and thread in Consort Liu's hands!

Meng Chun coughed lightly, "Your Majesty, I have indeed treated many cases of soldiers with severed intestines, but only two out of ten survived."

Xiao Yunzhou's face immediately darkened, "Why such a low rate?"

Meng Chun was displeased as well, "I already have the steadiest hands, and I've been treating external injuries for years. If someone else were to do the suturing, none would survive."

[Oh my, the mortality rate is so high. This is not only due to the difference between ancient and modern suturing techniques but also because of sterilization and infection issues.]

Xiao Chuchu mused, suddenly perking up.

[I wonder how my mother feels now with her system-enhanced suturing skills?]

Xiao Chuchu's curious gaze kept darting towards Liu Chaniang.

[Theoretically, the enhancement should have taken effect. Why doesn't my mother show any reaction?]

[Perhaps she'll only notice the difference when she actually starts suturing?]

Liu Chaniang's ears gradually turned red, her needlework becoming increasingly rapid under Chuchu's intense stare.

She was too nervous.

Xiao Yunzhou, having heard his daughter's thoughts, also stared at her with great curiosity.

Liu Chaniang carefully reflected but didn't feel any different.

Had the celestial technique really been bestowed upon her?

But as she continued sewing, something felt off. Liu Chaniang realized she could sew without even looking down!

Xiao Yunzhou observed for a while and indeed noticed this. He slapped his thigh and pointed at Meng Chun, "Bring a piece of pig intestine and cut it open. Meng Chun, you and Consort Liu will compete to see who can sew faster and better."
