In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!-Chapter 223: The Truth Laid Bare

Hearing Gongsun Xing say this, Yue Mingxuan was momentarily taken aback, then quickly felt it made sense.

Ancient times might have been conservative on the surface, but when it came to matters of intimacy, they were far more sophisticated than the modern era.

"I feel like you only comes to me when there’s something to be done," he said with a smile. "Earlier you forced me to help you copy books and now you’ve come back again, what is it this time?"

Hearing him say this, Yue Mingxuan felt a little embarrassed.

Gongsun Xing wasn’t wrong at all, this visit really was about the matter of operating on Rong Qinglei.

"I came here to discuss with you about the heart surgery plan for Rong Qinglei... Given his current condition, can his body withstand such a procedure?"

Thinking over Rong Qinglei’s illness, Gongsun Xing frowned slightly. "It can be done, but I’m worried that an ordinary person might not be able to endure that level of intensity."

Yue Mingxuan waved his hand. "That’s not a problem."

Since they would be performing an open heart procedure, the use of mafeisan was inevitable.

"I wonder, Miracle Doctor Gongsun, can you obtain these medicinal ingredients?"

As he spoke, he casually took out a sheet of paper listing the herbs needed to prepare mafeisan and handed it to Gongsun Xing.

After glancing at it just once, Gongsun Xing’s eyes widened in astonishment.

The ingredients on the list were all quite common, yet when combined, they produced an anesthetic effect.

"Did you come up with this prescription yourself, Mingxuan? It’s absolutely perfect."

Seeing the fervent look on his face, Yue Mingxuan felt a bit guilty inside.

After all, this was plagiarism of Hua Tuo’s work.

He could only hope that Hua Tuo if he truly had awareness in the afterlife would be magnanimous and not hold it against him.

With the greatest obstacle anesthesia resolved, the two quickly finalized the timing of the surgery as well.

After Gongsun Xing instructed the medicine attendants to inform Rong Qinglei of the matter, Yue Mingxuan did not linger.

The surgery was scheduled for three days later and over the next few days he needed to rest well in preparation for the high intensity operation ahead.

Time flowed like water and in the blink of an eye three days passed.

Early on the morning of the third day, Yue Mingxuan rose before dawn and headed to Chengqian Palace.

Rong Qinglei also wake up early, he was standing by the window and staring blankly at the potted asparagus fern on the sill.

A faint smile rested on Yue Mingxuan’s face as he said, "Rong Qinglei, we’re carrying out the heart surgery today. Is there anything you still want to say?"

If anything were to go wrong on his end, this could very well count as Rong Qinglei’s final words.

Rong Qinglei shook his head. "Mingxuan, I trust you. But I want to see you as soon as I wake up. After the heart surgery is finished, can you stay by my side the whole time?"

If he could still wake up, it would mean that his heart condition had been completely cured by Yue Mingxuan.

Compared to now, he would then have even more reason to stay by his side.

And if he couldn’t wake up...

At that thought, a trace of bitter resignation appeared on his face.

Then it would simply be fate.

Seeing that Rong Qinglei’s spirits were low, Yue Mingxuan quickly said, "Once you drink the medicine, you’ll sleep for a bit, and when you wake up everything will be fine. After you recover, I’ll cook for you."

At that moment, a medicine attendant came in carrying the freshly prepared bowl of mafeisan.

Rong Qinglei took the bowl, raised his head, and drank it down without hesitation. Then he smiled at Yue Mingxuan and said, "Mingxuan, you have to wait for me."

Yue Mingxuan nodded and watching as Rong Qinglei’s gaze gradually grew unfocused.

He immediately instructed the palace attendants to lift him onto the already prepared operating table.

Everything was soon ready.

Gongsun Xing looked at Yue Mingxuan who is standing to the side with surgical blade in hand and worry flickered in his eyes.

"Mingxuan, don’t be too nervous. Just do your best."

Yue Mingxuan gave a wry smile.

That was exactly what he had been telling himself, yet the trembling in his hands stubbornly refused to stop.

The time it took for an incense stick to burn passed quickly and soon only Yue Mingxuan and Gongsun Xing remained beside the operating table.

They exchanged a glance, each seeing resolve reflected in the other’s eyes.

The surgery lasted an entire day.

When Yue Mingxuan finished stitching the final thread, his legs nearly gave out beneath him.

Gongsun Xing reacted swiftly and reaching out to support him. "Go rest over there for a bit."

This operation had truly broadened his horizons, especially Yue Mingxuan’s profound understanding of the human body, which left him deeply astonished.

Compared to Yue Mingxuan’s sheer exhaustion, Gongsun Xing was also tired, but mentally he was exhilarated.

After everything stained with blood had been thoroughly cleaned away, Gongsun Xing instructed the palace attendants to carry Rong Qinglei back to his own bed.

When he turned around again, he found that Yue Mingxuan had already fallen asleep while leaning against the soft couch.

Looking at his weary face and the surgical blade that was still clutched in his hand, Gongsun Xing felt a pang of tenderness.

He chose not to wake him up, instead taking a nearby quilt and gently draping it over him.

Yue Mingxuan slept for a full seven or eight hours.

When he finally woke, his body was still curled up on the couch, yet he felt remarkably refreshed and comfortable beyond measure.

Yue Mingxuan immediately stretching out his body lazily and called out by habit, "Sui He, bring me an apple."

But the very next second, when his eyes took in the surrounding palace furnishings, he jolted fully awake.
