turmoil

Wang Xuan was not far away. After receiving Zhang Jingche's letter, she rode all the way to Miyagi, panting and dismounted, and saw that Marquis Dingbian had already arrived, and the only remaining imperial physician was surrounded by bloodstains. Spotted bullock cart, after a long time of diagnosis, his face is not very good-looking.

"No, the injured part is too close to the heart and lungs. Once the arrow is pulled out, the internal organs are bound to be involved." The leading imperial physician, surnamed Liu, was the judge of the imperial hospital. Forgive me for my lack of talent and learning, it is really..."

Liu Yanzhao was furious: "The Marquis of Dingbian is my Great Yin Zhushi. If I can't save him, what use do I need you for? If something happens to Marquis Dingbian, you will have to be buried with him!"

A group of imperial physicians were so frightened that their livers and gallbladders were torn apart, they hurriedly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed desperately.

Fortunately, at this time, rescuers came, Zhang Jingche probably heard that Yang Fan had arrived, and led a group of You Yunwei who cleaned up and dealt with the aftermath and rushed there.When he got close, without saying a word, he cut Yang Fan's skirt first, carefully observed the depth and position of the dark arrow's penetration into the flesh, and said without raising his head, "Ah Xuan."

Wang Xuan was shocked, and rushed forward: "Master, I have brought everything."

Zhang Jingche nodded, stuffed two slices of red ginseng into Yang Fan's mouth, and gnashed his teeth next to his ear, "My surname is Yang, please listen to me clearly, I don't care how badly you are hurt, even if Lord Yama calls, you have to give it to me." Grit your teeth and hold on... Otherwise, even if I go down to the underworld, I will have to catch you back!"

Wang Xuan had never heard of such a ferocious oath of alliance, so she shivered with horror. When she looked up, she saw Liu Yanzhao staring at Zhang Jingche with an imperceptible sternness in her eyes.

Zhang Jingche didn't realize it, raised his head and said, "Xu Shen, you and Ah Xuan escorted Dingbian Hou into the Tai Chi Hall, took care of the injured parts, and waited for me to go over."

Xu Shen nodded in agreement, and just about to order someone to carry Yang Fan away, Zhang Jingche said again: "Lead people around the Tai Chi Hall, no one is allowed to enter without my permission, and anyone who violates it will be killed on the spot!"

Liu Yanzhao's face suddenly became ugly.

No matter whether Zhang Jingche has the credit for rescuing him or not, and whether or not Dingbian Hou is valuable and must be rescued, this is a deep palace after all, and Zhang Jingche is giving orders like no one else, showing that he doesn't pay attention to Liu Yanzhao, the [-]th Supreme inside.What's more, he may still be on guard against Liu Yanzhao in his heart, lest if he tries to hide everything, it will be bad for Yang Fan.

For a moment, Liu Yanzhao really wanted to grab Zhang Jingche's collar and ask him clearly, but Zhang Jingche didn't give him this chance.This person has been in the top position for a long time, and when the situation was chaotic, he naturally began to issue orders: "Is it General Liang who led the Qingqi here?"

The general nodded "yes".

Zhang Jingche said: "Please tell General Liang that after the situation in central Beijing stabilizes, bring someone to Shenwumen to wait for orders. Yuanzhou and I will not stay in the palace for too long."

He thought for a while, and then said: "Don't worry him, I will definitely give him back Dingbianhou who is alive and kicking."

When the general heard the last promise, he breathed a sigh of relief. For a while, he couldn't care about Zhang Jingche's overstepping, and he didn't even care about the meaning of the first sentence, so he left in a hurry.

Liu Yanzhao's face became more and more gloomy, but Zhang Jingche didn't care about him, and judged Liu Yuan: "Please check and understand how much medicine is left in the palace to stop bleeding and save lives? Send them to Tai Chi Hall."

Liu Yuanpan wished someone would take over this hot potato, looked at Liu Yanzhao's expression, and agreed repeatedly.

Zhang Jingche turned to leave, but Liu Yanzhao stopped him at this moment: "Ming Huang!"

Zhang Jingche paused, then looked back at Liu Yanzhao impatiently.

Liu Yanzhao didn't know what he was going to say, but he just saw the situation of Zhang Jingche and Yang Fan getting along, he was clearly familiar and undefended, and he was completely different from his vigilance and ridicule when he was facing him. A very scary thought.

His chest was congested, but he knew that this was not the time to care about these things. Seeing that Zhang Jingche was already showing signs of impatience, he had no choice but to change the subject: "How sure are you?"

Zhang Jingche said very simply: "It can't be saved, I will pay him my life."

Liu Yanzhao couldn't help being startled, as if someone had slapped him across the face, and he froze in place.When he came back to his senses, Zhang Jingche had already left without looking back.

Liu Yanzhao turned around in a daze, only to feel that the shouts of killing outside the palace gradually faded away. Under the night of blood and fire, the palace was full of palaces and castles, but he was alone, and he couldn't find anyone who was truly dependent.He turned around in a daze, and saw the Empress Dowager standing at the end of the long street holding Yuxiang's hand at some point, looking at him with understanding and compassion.

Like a helpless young child, Liu Yanzhao walked alone in the dark for a long time, and finally saw someone he could rely on. For a moment, his voice was slightly choked with sobs: "...the mother!"

The queen mother sighed, walked forward slowly, took a cloak from Yuxiang, and put it on Liu Yanzhao's shoulder: "The wind is strong at night, and the emperor must take care of the dragon's body... Beijing and China have just experienced a big change. Whether it's good or not, the common people are in panic all day long. You are their backbone, if even you lose an inch, wouldn't the sky of this palace city be about to collapse?"

The Empress Dowager's tone was as soothing as ever, with the intention of calming down, Liu Yanzhao's panic and grievances all day suddenly poured out, and he pressed his cheek into the empress dowager's old and wrinkled palm: "The empress dowager I mean, I..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt that the Queen Mother's body froze suddenly, and then loudly warned: "Zhaoer be careful!"

Before Liu Yanzhao could react, he was pushed down by the queen mother, and the imperial guards' exclamations were heard one after another, and countless hands stretched out to help him up in a hurry.Liu Yanzhao pushed them away almost rudely, twisted his neck stubbornly, and saw the Queen Mother looked at him lovingly and reluctantly with a smile that hadn't faded, but there was a small, sharp dagger stuck in her chest!

The blood sprayed quickly on the splendid costume, and for a moment, Liu Yanzhao's heartbeat almost stopped, he scrambled to get closer, and hugged the empress dowager who was lying on the ground into his arms.

"Mother's queen...Mother's queen!" Liu Yanzhao panicked, "Wake up...talk to Erchen!"

The Empress Dowager looked at him fondly, and moved her fingers, as if she wanted to brush his messy hair from the sideburns, but she was unable to let it fall down.The bodyguards had already swarmed up to take down Yuxiang who had assassinated the emperor. The headed imperial bodyguard inspected for a while and took off a diaper from "Yuxiang" face.

"Your Majesty, this person is not a court lady, but an assassin in disguise!" The head of the guards said in surprise, "This person assassinated the Empress Dowager, a crime that cannot be punished, how can I deal with it?"

Under the mask is the face of an old woman, which is different from the empress dowager's pampered and charming face. Her face has been eroded by wind and frost, and there are dense wrinkles, which invade from the corners of the eyes to the cheeks.She touched the ravine all over her face, showing an unwilling and happy smile.

"Hahaha, you also have today!" The old woman looked up to the sky and laughed, with tears rolling down her cheeks, "The sky has no eyes. If Emperor Taiping dies, I want his wife and children to go down with him! Hahaha... the late emperor was killed unjustly." When the uncle's house is full of people, have you ever thought that this day will come? Tat for tat... It's really tit for tat!"

The guard's exclamation and the old woman's laughter were wrapped in the night wind that came and went without a trace, poured into Liu Yanzhao's left ear, and then emerged from his right ear.He didn't care about prosecuting the assassin for the assassination, he turned his head and shouted sharply: "Where's the imperial doctor? Come... come and save the queen mother!"

The grey-haired imperial doctors cheered up and surrounded the queen mother for a long while. The head of the hospital, Liu Yuanpan, showed a bitter look, stood up and confessed: "The emperor forgives the sin... The queen mother's knife is too close to the heart, and she is also old and weak. If you pull out the dagger, you probably won't be able to survive, this humble minister is really..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the furious Liu Yanzhao. Emperor Xinglong was like a beast driven to a desperate situation. He grabbed Liu Yuanping's collar and showed his desperate and bloodthirsty fangs: "It can't be saved." Yuan Zhou can't save the Empress Dowager, what's the use of the court supporting you? What's the use!"

Liu Yuanjuan's medical skills are excellent, but no matter how superb his medical skills are, he can't reverse the yin and yang. After hearing Liu Yanzhao's questioning, he was very wronged. In desperation, he just wanted to divert Emperor Xinglong's attention: "The emperor forgives my sin... Seeing that the Empress Dowager's injury is somewhat similar to that of Marquis Dingbian, Master Zhang was able to save Marquis Dingbian just now, maybe there is a way..."

These words were like sparks, instantly igniting Liu Yanzhao's gloomy eyes of despair, he roared desperately: "Go and invite Master Zhang... pass on my order, let Master Zhang come here immediately!"

The leader of the guards quickly agreed, and rushed to the Tai Chi Hall despite the hastily falling rain.The bright electric light tore through the night from time to time, reflecting the figures in front of the Tai Chi Hall. Countless You Yunwei Sen stared at him coldly. He pulled out his saber half a foot from his waist. The blade reflected the candlelight in the hall and cut across Xinghanmang.

The head of the guards gave a "thump" in his heart, and he didn't dare to force his way in. He said loudly in the wind and rain: "Your Majesty has an order to send Zhang Jingche an audience!"

The huge Tai Chi Hall was silent, and thousands of candles were lit up in the hall, swaying slightly in the whistling wind.

The leader of the guards took two steps forward and said anxiously: "The queen mother was assassinated, the emperor hastily announced that Mr. Zhang will see you!"

There was still no one talking around, and after a while, only a "squeak" was heard, and the palace door suddenly opened.The leader of the guards raised his head overjoyed, only to see that it was not Zhang Jingche who came out, but Xu Shen who was beside him.

"Marquis Dingbian is seriously injured, and my master is healing him," Xu Shen said coldly, "No one can disturb you during the healing period. Even if the emperor calls, we have to wait."

The leader of the guards said anxiously: "The Son of Heaven can wait, but the Queen Mother can't wait! The Queen Mother is seriously injured, and Master Zhang is urgently needed to save her life!"

Xu Shen was unmoved: "The Queen Mother was injured and treated by the masters of the Imperial Hospital. My master is just a commoner and cannot afford such a big relationship."

The leader of the guards became anxious, the assassination of the Empress Dowager was no small matter, Liu Yanzhao was obviously really angry, if he couldn't bring him back, his head would probably be lost.

"Your Majesty has an order to announce that Master Zhang will see you immediately!" The head of the guards darkened, "If Master Zhang does not obey the order, don't blame us for offending!"

He made a gesture, and the imperial guards took a step forward in unison, with their knives out of their sheaths at their waists, and put on a forceful battle.Xu Shen's eyes were slightly cold, and he said expressionlessly: "The master has ordered that anyone who trespasses into the Tai Chi Hall without permission will be killed on the spot!"

You Yunwei has fought for a long time, broke through the grassland, and survived the wild sand, just like a group of wolves grinding their teeth and sucking blood, far from being comparable to the imperial guards who live in the prosperous land of Jiaoliang.They didn't even have to draw their swords. When they looked up, they already showed a blood-thirsty murderous aura. The imperial guards just fought hand-to-hand, and they threw away their helmets and armor and were defeated.

Zhang Jingche in the hall was completely unaware of the changes outside, and his whole mind turned into a thread, hanging precariously on Dingbianhou's body.Thousands of bright candles were lit in the hall, and it was as bright as day. Zhang Jingche washed the wound with self-distilled alcohol, and quickly cut off with a scalpel reflecting cold light, opening the flesh of the wound.

Wang Xuan suppressed the discomfort in her heart, and handed the small knives to Zhang Jingche's hands one by one, only to hear the man say calmly: "The hidden weapons of the Beile people are vicious, and poisoning is the second. Judging by the amount of bleeding, it is likely to hurt the atrium..."

Wang Xuan gasped. In her perception, "hurting the heart" can almost be equated with "death".However, Zhang Jingche's tone was calm, without the slightest panic. She was subtly influenced, and then restrained her mind: "Then you..."

"Marquis Yang lost too much blood and couldn't survive the whole operation," Zhang Jingche said quickly, "Do you still remember the blood drawing technique I taught you?"

Wang Xuan was shocked: "Are you planning to..."

Zhang Jingche didn't want to use this trick, he himself was a medical student, so he knew too well what the consequences of rash blood transfusion would be if he was not sure about his blood type.However, he had no choice—Yang Fan's bleeding was not the worst situation, but under ancient medical conditions, it was enough to cause death.He had no choice but to take a risky blood transfusion.

The only good news is that Zhang Jingche's blood type is O, so he still has a chance.

"Draw blood from me and infuse it to Yang Hou. I don't need to teach you how to do it?" Zhang Jingche said in a deep voice, "At the same time, I need to take out the hidden weapon and suture the gap in Yang Hou's heart. The whole process must be done in one go. Don't be disturbed by outside objects."

Wang Xuan gritted her teeth, nodded and said, "This subordinate understands, I will assist you to complete the operation."

Zhang Jingche divided his mind from his busy schedule, and gave her a gentle look: "I'm sorry."

Even in Zhang Jingche's era, "atrial stabbing" was a serious injury that could be fatal. In addition to blood transfusion, ventilator assistance was also needed.Regrettably, without such a condition right now, Zhang Jingche could only take a big gamble - bet on his own luck, bet on Yang Fan's fate.

Facts proved that his judgment was very accurate. There was indeed a small gap in Yang Fan's heart, which was pierced by the vicious hidden weapon of the Beile people.Wang Xuan prepared the catgut for suturing early in the morning, and when he handed it over, her fingers trembled.

"I need to suture the wound as soon as the sharp weapon is pulled out." Zhang Jingche estimated the length of the wound and breathed a sigh of relief silently, "The wound is not too long. This is a blessing in misfortune... But I can't do it alone, and I need your cooperation." .”

Wang Xuan didn't know what kind of "length" was "not too long" in Zhang Jingche's eyes.She has seen many hideous wounds, but this is the first time she has used a knife on the wounded heart, and she was at a loss for a while: "I...what do I need to do?"

"Use the smoothest technique to pull out the concealed weapon, and be careful not to tear the wound." Zhang Jingche said gently, his mouth and nose covered in the airy fabric, looking a little stuffy, "Don't worry, I will leave the rest to you."

His calm posture comforted Wang Xuan, who took a deep breath and gradually stabilized his trembling fingers: "Master, don't worry, I'm fine!"
