Chapter 1387 Cardiomyopathy, Mu 9 Performs Surgery on the Emperor
Another half hour passed, and Yun Mujiu put down the suturing instruments in her hand and said, "The surgery is over."
In fact, she encountered some tricky problems during the long surgery, but fortunately she was experienced and had a strong mentality, which allowed her to solve all the problems with ease.
As Yun Mujiu left the operating room, she saw a man in a black robe standing under the dim palace lanterns beneath the eaves of the long corridor.
"Your Highness!" Yun Mujiu hopped over, and seeing the undisguised concern and worry in the other's eyes, she smiled and said, "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired."
"His Majesty's surgery was a complete success! We just need to wait for him to wake up!"
"Good." Ye Xiaohan tapped Yun Mujiu's forehead with his fingertip and praised, "Mumu is the best."
When the Emperor slowly woke up, he saw Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu sitting not far away.
When he was not in a conscious state, although he was unable to open his eyes or speak, he was still aware of what was happening in the outside world.
On the day of the palace coup, when he fainted, it was Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu who decided to spare his life.
Today, it was Yun Mujiu who treated him, and Ye Xiaohan who protected him.
The Emperor stared at the Night King and his wife with a complicated look, but they did not react.
Yun Mujiu explained the post-operative precautions to the Emperor to the Imperial Physician Shi and his apprentice, and finally said: "The Emperor's heart surgery was successful. Everything depends on the subsequent recovery. In the future, you should not always be emotional and exhaust your energy. It is best to rest and recuperate."
Imperial Physician Shi and his apprentice readily agreed, but the Emperor suddenly spoke up: "Ye Xiaohan, why did you save me?"
Ye Xiaohan said calmly, "Your Majesty, I have never intended to kill you."
The emperor's expression changed, and he abruptly closed his eyes, his eye sockets and eyebrows twitching uncontrollably.
"During your reign, develop the Zhongyue Dynasty well and treat the people of Zhongyue well."
Ye Xiaohan coldly uttered these words, then turned and took Yun Mujiu's hand, leaving. He ordered his guards to retreat, and then quietly left the palace with Yun Mujiu.
...
The Emperor has not attended the morning court session for several days, which has also caused considerable delays in handling state affairs.
After Ye Xiaohan assumed regency, adhering to the principle of checks and balances, he also appointed the Fifth Prince Ye Chuhe and the Seventh Prince Ye Chufeng to participate in handling political affairs. However, many crucial official matters in the court ultimately required his personal approval, making Ye Xiaohan increasingly busy.
His diligence and outstanding abilities have once again changed the opinions of many civil and military officials.
"Prince Ye, you are truly a prince who has not appeared in the Star Moon Continent for a hundred years!"
Three days after the emperor's surgery, a military report from the border region, stretching eight hundred li, was sent back to the capital.
Marquis Weibei has led an army of 500,000 to the border of the Western Barbarians. He has fought several battles with the Western Barbarian army, winning more battles than he has lost, and has already recaptured two lost small cities.
However, at the same time, Zhong Yue's forces were also dwindling, especially the Jinxiang Guard, who served as the vanguard. They were responsible for leading the charge, while the imperial troops were left to pick off the rest of the troops. The Jinxiang Guard received the worst treatment, yet they did the most dangerous and exhausting work.
Although the honest and simple Marquis of Weibei wanted to change the treatment and situation of the Jinxiang Guard, he was ultimately just a subject and could not go against the will of the emperor and a group of ministers and generals.
The majority of the imperial army consisted of the emperor's men, and the emperor had already arranged everything, including how to deploy and use the Golden Cavalry Guard.
Marquis Weibei's words carried little weight; he could only say that he would do his best to win battles and minimize the losses of his men.
At this moment, Ye Xiaohan, who was staying at the Night King's Mansion, received news from the front lines and said, "Marquis Wei Bei is indeed loyal and righteous." At least Marquis Wei Bei did not intend to send his Golden Cavalry to their deaths as cannon fodder, which is much better than the Emperor's court generals.
“Yes!” Wei Song and Wei Bai echoed, with Wei Bai even cursing, “Those good-for-nothing officials in the court are really shameless. At least the Jinxiang Guard are our brothers and subjects of Zhongyue!”
"I will soon have all the Golden Guards back." Ye Xiaohan tapped the table lightly with his hand, then asked, "Is Marquis Xixiang almost at the western border?"
When the war against the Western Barbarians broke out, the emperor was dissatisfied with his subordinate, the Marquis of Xixiang, being in the western border. He specially sent a message to exchange the Marquis of Xixiang in the eastern border with the Marquis of Changping in the western border. He only wanted his confidant to have absolute dominance on the battlefield. Even if the Marquis of Changping was a neutral faction, he would not give him important positions.
Wei Song nodded: "According to Han Yingwei's report, the Marquis of Xixiang led an army and joined up with the Marquis of Weibei on the western border in a few days."
Ye Xiaohan grunted in acknowledgment, then waved his hand, instructing his subordinates to hurry up and prepare; they would be heading to the front lines soon…
Ye Xiaohan was very busy, handling court affairs and matters on the battlefield. Whenever Yun Mujiu went to Huayang Academy, she always saw Ye Xiaohan busy.
She took advantage of Ye Xiaohan's break to talk to him and cherish the little time they had left together.
After she returned, she also started to get busy.
She had recently accumulated some achievement points. She treated Ye Chuhe, Yun Shirou, Bei Liyi, Bei Manji, and the Emperor. She received the most system rewards from Ye Chuhe and Bei Liyi, two patients whose cases had been saved in the system for a long time and were finally successfully treated. One received 1,000 achievement points and the other received 600 achievement points, which was equivalent to her treating 1,600 ordinary patients.
Yun Mujiu used her accumulated achievement points to exchange for a large batch of medicinal resources. One batch was used by herbal clinics she opened in various places, another batch was reserved for Zhong Yue's soldiers, and a small batch was given to Dudi Valley.
...
Several more days passed, and the Emperor's health improved considerably; he was able to attend the morning court sessions as usual. However, the person still acting as regent in Zhongyue was the Night King.
The Emperor's power had been gradually usurped by the Night King. When he returned to the court, he found that his confidants all had the idea of joining the Night King's camp, and they were all very eager to flatter the Night King.
The Emperor gritted his teeth: "Ye Xiaohan is truly capable!"
But what could he do? He was no match for Ye Xiaohan.
Turning his head, the Emperor asked Physician Shi and Xu Geng about the events before and after his surgery.
Xu Geng's knowledge was limited, and he couldn't say anything.
The Imperial Physician Shi and his apprentices knew a little more, but on the one hand, they intentionally kept some information about the Night King and his wife from the Emperor's knowledge, and on the other hand, they were not able to participate in the treatment process, so their knowledge was limited.
In the end, the emperor only knew that Yun Mujiu was very skilled in medicine. As for what exactly happened in the operating room, he had no idea and could not detect anything unusual about Yun Mujiu!
He was still somewhat uneasy and ordered, "Someone, investigate what exactly those surgical concepts and knowledge that Yun Mujiu is promoting are!"
