I was sold when I opened my eyes! My sick and disabled husband comforts me every night after he wake

Chapter 201: Surgery Begins

Although this was a relatively routine surgical procedure, the examination revealed that the patient's sword wound had been present for at least half a month, making it quite difficult to treat.

At this moment, Lan Zhi dared not think about what Nie Yuan had gone through, nor did she dare think about where Wei Jianning was now. She only wanted to heal Nie Yuan as soon as possible so that she could learn everything from him.

The surgery was proceeding tensely, and those waiting outside were extremely anxious.

When Nie Yuan first returned to the Crown Prince's residence, he only said one sentence: "The Crown Prince is lost, and everyone is dead."

Although he only said a few words, it was enough to put everyone on edge.

If everyone dies, the chances of the crown prince surviving are slim. If the crown prince dies, the crown prince's residence will face annihilation.

Everyone now hopes that Nie Yuan will wake up as soon as possible so that they can get news about the Crown Prince from him.

However, before the Crown Princess returned, two doctors had already come, and their conclusions were basically the same: Nie Yuan had been injured for too long, and the wound had become infected, so even a miracle couldn't cure him.

Lan Zhi used extremely meticulous techniques to remove the infected rotten flesh from Nie Yuan's wound, then disinfected it and sutured the wound... She was careful with every step, not daring to be careless in the slightest, and each step took her a very long time.

Xiao Xin stood behind her. As soon as she reached out her hand, Xiao Xin knew what tools she needed and would provide them immediately.

She worked on the surgery from night until dawn. The people waiting outside were so cold that they ran around frantically. In the end, they simply lit a pile of firewood outside the door to keep warm, which helped them barely make it to dawn.

Only after finishing the last stitch did she breathe a sigh of relief and begin bandaging with sterile dressings. After the bandaging was completed, Xiaoxin put away the surgical equipment and expelled the monitoring equipment and oxygen mask.

Lan Zhi put the oxygen on him, plugged in the monitor, and covered him with a blanket before letting out a sigh of relief.

"Xiaoxin, the surgery was a success. At least his life can be saved."

Xiao Xin blinked her eyes in agreement.

“Master is right, his life has been saved. If nothing unexpected happens, he should wake up once the anesthesia wears off.”

"Okay, you stay here and keep watch over him. Change his dressings and check if the monitor is working properly. Call me anytime if there are any problems, and I'll let everyone know so they won't worry."

Xiao Xin's eyes flickered, and she nodded vigorously. Lan Zhi took off her surgical gown, hat, gloves, and mask, then breathed a sigh of relief, glanced back at Nie Yuan lying on the bed, and turned to leave.

It was already bright outside, and the people waiting outside rushed forward as soon as the door opened.

Ling Jiawei was the first to ask:

"How about it?"

Tang Jun, Xiangxiu, Aqi, and everyone else here looked at her with expectant eyes.

She turned and closed the door, looked at everyone, and nodded solemnly.

"He's fine now, he'll wake up tonight, everyone go back to your work!"

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Ling Jiawei quickly dismissed everyone, and only when he, Xiangxiu, Aqi, and Tang Jun remained did he eagerly ask...

"Lan Zhi, the Crown Prince..."

Before Ling Jiawei could finish speaking, Lan Zhi immediately waved her hand.

"Brother, don't speculate. Let's wait until Nie Yuan wakes up before we talk about anything else. I'm tired, I'm going back to get some sleep. Have someone watch over this place, and no one is allowed to go in until I get back."

"Okay, go and rest!"

Ah Qi and Xiang Xiu went forward to help her as they walked towards the main room. She felt her legs were weak and she had no strength to walk.

She spent the whole night performing the surgery, and after learning about Wei Jianning's situation, she became anxious, which caused her to be in a very bad mood.

She felt she had used up all the strength she had accumulated in the first half of her life to successfully perform surgery on Nie Yuan.

After returning to her room, she fell asleep immediately...

In her dream, she saw Wei Jianning trapped in a vast desert. She wanted to rescue him, but a barrier blocked her way, preventing her from moving.

"Ms. sir..."

She slumped to her feet, and Ah Qi, carrying a stove, pushed open the door and entered.

"Master, did you have a nightmare?"

She breathed a sigh of relief and asked:

"What time is it?"

"It's Chen Shi (7-9 AM)."

"It's so late..."

She muttered to herself as she got out of bed, and Ah Qi quickly reminded her.

"It's snowing outside. I've prepared a cloak for you. Wear it when you go out."

"Snowing?"

She murmured to herself, but felt even more desolate.

Ah Qi bowed and helped her put on her shoes, then put a soft silver embroidered robe on her, then draped a light purple feather gauze cloak over her shoulders, and put the hood on the cloak on her head before helping her out the door.

Sure enough, it snowed heavily outside. The snowflakes fell gently like willow catkins, and the entire Crown Prince's residence was shrouded in white. What a beautiful world covered in silver!

She tightened her cloak, let go of Ah Qi's arm, and stretched out her hands to catch snowflakes. However, the snowflakes melted into a puddle of water as soon as they fell, lingering in her palms.

This is the first snow of the winter, and also the first snow she has seen since arriving here.

But amidst this beautiful snowy landscape, the person she loved most was not by her side, and his fate was unknown.

She tilted her head back, trying her best to hold back her tears, but they still stubbornly slid down her cheeks, eventually mingling with the snowflakes falling on her face...

"Master, it's cold outside, let's go!"

Lan Zhi nodded and walked towards the west wing.

As expected, Nie Yuan should have woken up by now, and she needed to ask him what they had gone through.

When she arrived at Nie Yuan's room, the guards at the door quickly opened it, and she waved to Ah Qi, who was following behind her.

"Go prepare two stoves. Once you're done, knock on the door. The rest of you wait outside."

"Yes, master."

After Lan Zhi entered the house, she turned around and closed the door. She then took off her cloak and hung it on the clothes rack before quickly walking into the inner room.

Upon approaching, she saw Xiaoxin resting. Hearing her voice, Xiaoxin opened her eyes, blinking as she replied:

"Master, the patient is in good condition. All the instruments have been removed, the IV drip has finished, and the anesthesia has worn off. However, he seems very tired and is still sleeping. He will probably wake up soon."

Lan Zhi nodded, came to Nie Yuan's side, listened to his even breathing, and gently breathed a sigh of relief.

"Nie Yuan..."

She should have let him sleep a little longer, but she was so eager to know what had happened over there that she tentatively tried to wake him.

"Nie Yuan, can you hear me?"

Nie Yuan's fingers twitched, and his eyes slowly opened. When he saw that the person standing in front of him was Lan Zhi, tears immediately welled up in his eyes.

"Lan Zhi, is that you? Am I dreaming?"

Seeing Nie Yuan's weak and grieving state, Lan Zhi's eyes welled up with tears again.

She nodded emphatically.

"It's me, Nie Yuan. What happened to you? Where is the Crown Prince? What happened to him?"
