It's really unbelievable that the Chen family has been bullied.
The Chen family is very prestigious in the capital. Although they are not a noble family, and Chen Taijun and her husband are not from high-ranking families, they are both people who have come through the battlefield to defend their country. Chen Taijun is a famous female general who led the army into battle and returned victoriously in many battles.
Now she has retired, but as long as she is around, the people feel at ease. She is the pillar of support among the military generals.
Therefore, neither the emperor nor certain forces in the court would touch her easily. Firstly, Lady Chen was indeed powerful, and the twelve generals under her were extremely skilled in martial arts and could not be offended. In addition, the Chen family had a great influence in the army. If something happened to the Chen family, it would be a really big deal.
Liu Liu was seriously injured. The most serious problem was excessive blood loss.
Sealing the needle is acceptable, as is stimulating the bone marrow to produce blood, but they do not have much effect, and emergency blood transfusion is the only option.
However, there was no equipment for blood transfusion and it was impossible to identify a suitable blood source.
"Immediately order someone to make a small silver tube for blood transfusion!" Zi'an gave the order in a serious tone. She took out the needle and sealed the major acupoint temporarily. However, sealing the acupoint could only delay time temporarily. The tube had to be made within half a day and then an emergency blood transfusion was carried out.
The source of blood can only be found from the Chen family. Twin brothers have the same blood type, but blood types of people with the same father and mother are not necessarily the same. This is a very risky approach, but it is also a last resort.
Zi'an explained the risks to Old Lady Chen. If the blood types did not match, big problems could arise.
Chen Taijun asked in a deep voice: "If blood is not transfused, can it be saved?"
"Impossible. She has lost too much blood. I have temporarily stopped the needles to maintain her life. Also, she has lost too much blood acutely, which has caused shock and coma. Her organs may also suffer serious consequences due to the blood loss. I will tell you the worst case scenario. I hope you are mentally prepared."
Mrs. Chen was a person who had experienced many ups and downs. She knew that time was life and she could not interfere with the doctor's diagnosis and treatment. She said, "Zi'an, you should do it according to your diagnosis. We will cooperate with whatever you need us to do."
Zi'an nodded, sealed the needle, and began to prepare the blood transfusion equipment.
The original blood transfusion technique used a small silver tube, but because there was no syringe, Zi'an had to discuss it with Murong Jie.
"I'm going to use a tube to connect the two people's veins together. Then, do you have any way to let the blood of the Chen brothers enter Liu Liu's body through the tube?" This requires external force to stimulate it, and she doesn't know martial arts.
"There's a tube? That means you can push the blood through the palace. That's fine." Murong Jie said.
The only thing I'm worried about now is the problem of blood type rejection.
I just hope their blood types are the same.
Zi'an didn't dare to give blood transfusions to all the Chen brothers, so he only selected the triplets, because the triplets' blood types must be the same, and if the right blood type was transfused, the risk would be reduced.
Before the blood transfusion, Zi'an repeatedly told the Chen family about the risks, but Mrs. Chen only said, "Blood transfusion!"
The matter was kept secret from the old lady. Lady Chen ordered that it be kept secret and had someone take her out for a trip so that she would go crazy if she knew that her beloved baby had gotten into trouble.
The blood transfusion process went very smoothly. Unlike what Zi'an had expected, Murong Jie used his internal energy to help the three Chen brothers push the blood through the womb, and the blood flowed along the tube into Liu Liu's veins.
This process was a bit long because it was impossible to rush the blood over all at once, so he had to be careful to control the strength.
After the blood transfusion, the reaction is observed.
Red rashes appeared on Liu Liu's face and also on her arms and wrists. This was an allergic reaction to the blood transfusion, which made Zi'an very worried.
She wrote a prescription for allergies and asked someone to take it to boil the medicine. Chinese medicine is always slow to cure allergies, but there is no other way.
Fortunately, apart from the rash, there were no other reactions, which made Zi'an feel a lot more relaxed.
After observing for more than an hour, there was still no rejection phenomenon. Zi'an breathed a sigh of relief, "The blood source is right."
Joining Zi'an in treating the disease was the Imperial Physician sent by Murong Jie from the palace. He was in charge of treating the wounds and knew nothing about blood transfusions.
But when he saw the blood transfusion technique and the way Zi'an rescued Liu Liu, he was shocked.
Liu Liu's face wasn't as pale anymore, though it was still pale, at least it was much better than when she was first sent back.
Liu Liu's external injuries were also treated. The judge said: "The most serious are the two cuts on her legs. They have penetrated the bones. I'm afraid that after she recovers, it will affect her walking."
Everyone just hopes that she survives. As for whether it affects her walking, that is still a follow-up issue.
Xiao Tuo's heart was shocked like never before. During the treatment, he watched the whole time and did not leave. He was worried and didn't dare to breathe, for fear that something might happen.
He realized that if he couldn't save her, he would never see Liu Liu again. This realization made him heartbroken and at a loss.
When Zian announced that they were stable, his first thought was to find out who had hurt her.
So, the judge was left to watch, and several people urgently analyzed the matter.
"I have seen the wound. The cut is big and deep, but the person who cut it was not very fast, which proves that his martial arts skills are not very high. Liu Liu did not resist. There are two possibilities. First, Liu Liu knows this person. Second, Liu Liu was poisoned by the incense or the muscle softening powder."
"The drug is a possibility, because she hasn't woken up since she was sent back." Zi'an said. Although she is unconscious, the wound is so big that it must be very painful to treat it. Even if she is unconscious, she will have an instinctive reaction, but Liu Liu has no reaction at all.
"Who sent it back?" Zi'an asked.
Lady Chen said, "Chen Linglong and her daughter said they were unconscious at her doorstep. I saw them when I came out to close the door, and they asked for a reward after sending them back."
"Doesn't Liu Liu bring a maid with her when she goes out?" Zi'an asked. He remembered that Liu Liu used to bring a little maid with her when she went out, but sometimes she didn't bring her maid with her.
"She sneaked out to find Xiao Tuo, so how could she bring a maid with her? The old lady has given strict orders to all the maids in the mansion to look after Liu Liu and not allow her to go out." Lady Chen looked sad. For the past nineteen years, she had been worried about the arrival of this day and had made many mental preparations, but she still felt very uncomfortable.
“Your Highness, let Ni Rong go ask Chen Linglong and her daughter, and also ask their neighbors.” Zi’an looked at Murong Jie.
Murong Jie nodded, went out and told Ni Rong to check the scene and bring Chen Linglong and her daughter back.
Su Qingrouyao and Zhuangzhuang also arrived. Too many things have happened during this period of time, and people have been in trouble all the time, making everyone feel exhausted and extremely angry.
Ni Rong only brought Chen Linglong back, and when he arrived, Xia Wan'er was not at home.
When Zi'an saw Chen Linglong again, she looked much more destitute. She was still wearing the gorgeous clothes she wore when she left the Prime Minister's Mansion, but they were very old and wrinkled. There was no decoration on her head, and her face was heavily made up, the rouge was so thick that it couldn't cover the fine lines at the corners of her eyes.
She looked much older than before and no longer had the graceful and rounded figure she had when she lived a life of luxury.
