215 The Preoperative Examination

In her previous life, chocolate was popular all over the world and became the first choice on the gift list for women and children. In this time and space, she was confident that she could build a large-scale business empire with just one chocolate.

The one she had stuffed into Qing Xi’s mouth was the one she had just taken out from the dessert house in the interspace. Even her five babies had not tasted it before. Instead, it had benefited Qing Xi and she had become the first ‘crab-eating person’.

From Qing Xi’s reaction, the magical power of the chocolate was starting to show.

When Mo Ruyue thought of the already sprouted cocoa seeds in the interspace and their ever-changing growth rate, she couldn’t help but feel warm.

She was actually a chocolate fanatic herself. She had thought that she would never have the chance to taste that familiar taste again in this time and space.

She didn’t expect that a surprise would always come so suddenly.

The irascible Qing Xi was finally won over by a small piece of chocolate. She kept reminiscing the wonderful taste, so much so that she even forgot about her illness.

Mo Ruyue didn’t have many chocolates in her hands either. There were only a dozen or so in total. She didn’t even have time to taste one herself. The rest were prepared as a reward for her good performance and to reward Qing Xi.

The next day, Qing Xi was to be banned from drinking. The way to supplement her with nutrition was to add glucose into her body through an infusion. Ever since the blood collection device was ‘developed’, the infusion equipment was more or less the same. It could be done with a little modification on that foundation.

Throughout the day, Qing Xi did not lose her temper. Even though she was unbearably hungry and did not have any water, she still managed to endure it.

Her eyes kept following Mo Ruyue, intentionally or otherwise, as if she had something to say to her, but after hesitating, she didn’t say anything.

Mo Ruyue noticed her strange behavior but didn’t expose her thoughts. After all, the reward she wanted was also on the prohibited list.

It wasn’t until Mo Ruyue removed her infusion equipment for the day that Qing Xi finally couldn’t help but want to speak.

“You have surgery tomorrow. Are you nervous?”

Mo Ruyue asked first.

“It’s still alright. It would be even better if I could recuperate.”

Qing Xi mumbled softly, but she just so happened to blur out the most important word.

“When you wake up tomorrow, the pain you’ve been suffering for so long will no longer exist.”

Mo Ruyue didn’t seem to hear what she had said and directly expressed her thoughts.

Qing Xi’s face was hot. She had never asked for anything from anyone before. However, there had always been people constantly bringing all kinds of items in front of her, which she would throw away in disdain.

Only now did she know how difficult it was to speak to someone.

“Alright, Qing Xi. Now relax and have a good rest. You’ll be fine after two more naps.”

Mo Ruyue tucked her in and then stood up to leave.

“Lady Qin, can you really cure me tomorrow?”

Qing Xi blurted out. Her eyes revealed a trace of weakness and pleading.

“Don’t worry. If I wasn’t confident, I wouldn’t have brought you to the County, nor would I have accepted this surgery. You should have faith in me, just like how I have faith in you.”

This time, Mo Ruyue didn’t say anything to make her angry. Instead, she showed some gentleness to someone other than her babies for the first time.

Qing Xi’s eyes flickered. In the end, she nodded gently and closed her eyes.

Tomorrow?

It really made one both afraid and expectant.

As time passed, no matter what kind of mood everyone was in, the eastern sky gradually began to turn white.

Because this surgery required the removal of a giant tumor from the abdominal cavity, not only did the tumor have to be removed, but also the problems of the meridians, blood vessels, and so on. Mo Ruyue estimated that the surgery would last at least ten hours.

Such a long operation was a severe test even for Mo Ruyue’s current physique. This was because she had to be highly concentrated to perform the most precise and subtle operations, and the consumption of physical and mental strength was incalculable.

But what she was more worried about was whether Imperial Doctor Tian would be able to follow the entire operation. After all, he was old, and his physical strength and energy were far from enough.

However, Imperial Doctor Tian’s answer was positive.

“Don’t worry, Lady Qin. If I can’t hold on, I’ve already found a replacement. I won’t joke around with my professional ethics and the patient’s life.”

Mo Ruyue was not only listening to what Imperial Doctor Tian had to say, but also observing his condition.

The old man had rarely come to see patients these days. When he had time, he would take a walk and exercise. He paid great attention to nutrition in terms of diet, especially nutrition for physical and mental strength. So now he looked radiant and in better condition than when they had first met.

Although Imperial Doctor Tian’s condition seemed to be very good, Mo Ruyue still felt that it was not enough. She had prepared an energy recovery agent mixed with interspace spring water in advance and handed it over to Imperial Doctor Tian at this time.

“If you feel tired, let Doctor Wang or Xin Yi feed you a mouthful. This is an energy recovery agent that I’ve developed. You can’t drink too much at a time. A small sip will relieve your fatigue.”

Mo Ruyue didn’t dare to let Imperial Doctor Tian drink too much of the spring water from the interspace. The effects of this thing were becoming more and more overbearing. Just by looking at the big black horse that was about to die from the illness, she could tell how magical the effects were.

Imperial Doctor Tian was after all an old man. If he were to drink such a potent spring water, not only would it not nourish his body, it would harm him instead.

Now that it was almost time for the operation, Mo Ruyue began the last round of pre-operation examinations.

The task of providing blood plasma to the twenty-three soldiers had been completed the night before. Mo Ruyue could not draw blood during the operation, so she had to do the expected amount in advance.

Nowadays, the blood that was prepared was stored in an ‘ice box’. This kind of thing was like a refrigerator in ancient times, and only rich families could afford to use it in the summer.

This set of ice boxes was taken from the Magistrate’s mansion. After Imperial Doctor Tian’s last operation, he had already lost half of his assets. No matter what, he could not let Imperial Doctor Tian pay for the operation this time.

Even if he was willing, the Magistrate would not agree.

Since she did not bring any sophisticated monitoring equipment, she needed to rely on her experience to monitor the anesthesia, heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing.

As the chief surgeon, it was impossible for Mo Ruyue to take care of everything. These necessary surveillance cameras were handed over to Doctor Wang and Xin Yi.

“I repeat, your mission is to closely monitor the patient’s heart rate, blood pressure, pulse, etc. During the normal process of the surgery. You can’t make any mistakes. Once you find any problem, you must inform me immediately!”

Mo Ruyue called her two assistants to her side and emphasized to them again.

“Lady Qin, we’ll remember it.”

Doctor Wang and Xin Yi both nodded.

They didn’t pat their chests and make any guarantees with Mo Ruyue, but the strange thing was that people couldn’t help but choose to trust them.
