Shui Yihe's head ached upon hearing Leng Ruoli's words. What should he do with such a large growth inside his belly?
Moreover, it was now growing bigger and bigger.
"Wangfei Leng, can you remove the extra piece of flesh from my body?" Shui Yihe asked Leng Ruoli with a distressed expression.
"There is a way, but it requires an incision on your abdomen. It all depends on whether you dare," Leng Ruoli replied nonchalantly.
"Is it an incision like the one you made to deliver a baby for General Su's wife?" Shui Yihe asked her tentatively.
"Yes, but compared to your surgery, it is much simpler," Leng Ruoli said calmly, though her tone was steady.
"Then I implore Wangfei Leng to help me remove the tumor from my abdomen," Shui Yihe earnestly requested of Leng Ruoli.
"Of course, if it's convenient for you, I can perform the surgery for you tomorrow. The larger the tumor grows, the higher the risk of the surgery," Leng Ruoli said seriously.
Shui Yihe was stunned. Although he had heard much about Leng Ruoli's caesarean sections and various medical miracles before coming to the capital, he was truly a little afraid of her operating on him today.
"Wang... Wangfei Leng, is it... is it that urgent?" Shui Yihe stammered, a little scared at the thought of an operation.
"What, are you reluctant to part with that tumor on your body?" Leng Ruoli asked him deliberately.
"How could that be? I wish it could be removed right now. For years, this thing in my belly has made me a laughingstock. But I'm a little scared of the surgery you mentioned," Shui Yihe finished, his face flushed with embarrassment.
"Don't worry, I will administer anesthesia during the surgery. You'll just fall asleep, and the surgery will be done," Leng Ruoli added.
"Is it really that simple?"
Hearing Leng Ruoli's words, Shui Yihe found it hard to believe.
"Yes, it's that simple!" Leng Ruoli nodded seriously.
"Then I'll ask Wangfei Leng to perform this surgery for me tomorrow."
Shui Yihe said excitedly.
"Then you must rest well tonight and come to Anjitang Medical Hall on an empty stomach tomorrow. I will perform the surgery immediately."
Leng Ruoli then instructed him.
"Alright, Wangfei. I've got it. Thank you!"
Shui Yihe nodded gratefully. He then bid farewell to Leng Ruoli and had his subordinate help him leave Anjitang. Leng Ruoli watched him leave, noticing that he paid no attention to the gossiping commoners standing at the entrance of Anjitang.
Alas, Shui Yihe had a truly strong heart. If it were anyone else being openly discussed like this, those onlookers would have long been scolded.
He chose to ignore them, as if he had grown accustomed to such scenes.
Leng Ruoli mused to herself.
"Wangfei, does that Young Master Shui really have an extra growth in his belly?" Chu Mingxuan and the medical hall employees walked over curiously and asked her.
"Yes, he has a tumor on his inner abdominal wall, and it's a tumor that grows," Leng Ruoli did not hide anything from them.
"Good heavens! Young Master Shui is too pitiful," Lu Pearly and Xing'er exclaimed in amazement.
"Alright, everyone, stop gossiping. Return to your posts. Those who need to make house calls, go. Those who need to dispense medicine, dispense it. Those who need to check on patients, check on them."
Leng Ruoli quickly dismissed everyone.
She then took Lu Pearly and Chu Miaoling to check on the patients.
This time, Leng Ruoli started her rounds from the second-floor patient rooms, taking her medical staff to check the patients' temperatures and inquire about their recovery status. She meticulously recorded this information and then adjusted the treatment plans based on the patients' progress.
However, when she reached the first floor, the two elder brothers of Yan Shan arrived.
"Doctor, Doctor, how is my third brother Yan Shan's leg injury?" Yu Shan asked anxiously as soon as he saw Leng Ruoli.
"I'm just about to check on his ward. You two can come in with us to see him," Leng Ruoli slowly raised her beautiful eyes and said in a clear voice.
Then, she led a group of people into Yan Shan's ward.
Yan Shan was very excited to see his two elder brothers visiting him.
That day, he had accidentally fallen into a deep pit on the mountain. He was disoriented from the fall, and his leg was broken, bleeding profusely. He couldn't climb out and spent the night alone in the pit, thinking he would die in the mountains. But the next morning, to his surprise, his two elder brothers, with whom he had always been at odds, had come into the mountains searching for him.
Later, his two brothers found him in the deep pit and managed to get him out by all means possible, even carrying him down the mountain to seek medical attention.
On their journey to the city for treatment, his brothers endured scorn and scolding from others as they begged doctors to treat his leg. Even when he fainted from the pain, his two brothers never gave up on him, so he would never forget their kindness in this life.
"Eldest brother, second brother, you're here!"
Yan Shan's face was full of smiles as he greeted Yu Shan and Shi Shan.
"Yes, yes. Has your leg improved?" Yu Shan and Shi Shan asked with concern, looking at Yan Shan's injured leg.
"Eldest brother, second brother, my leg doesn't hurt anymore. It's recovering quickly. With so many doctors and nurses taking care of me here, my leg will heal soon. Please rest assured," Yan Shan replied with a smile.
"That's good. Mother is still worrying about you at home. You must listen to the doctor carefully and get your leg healed. Don't let the doctor's efforts go to waste," Yu Shan said, patting his third brother's shoulder.
Yan Shan nodded vigorously at this.
Then, Yu Shan said to Leng Ruoli, "Da... Oh, no, Wangfei Leng, this commoner is truly grateful for your treatment of my third brother's leg injury."
"You're welcome. Saving lives and healing the injured is my duty as a doctor. Your third brother's leg is being treated, and it's also thanks to your efforts. When you brought him to the medical hall earlier, the hemostatic herbs you wrapped around his leg, were those applied by you?" Leng Ruoli suddenly remembered this matter and asked.
"Yes, Da... Wangfei Leng. We usually use that herb to stop bleeding when we get scratched by thorns on the mountain. My mother taught us this method, but my brother's leg bled too much a couple of days ago, and even a lot of that herb couldn't stop the bleeding," Yu Shan sighed, recalling the events of that day.
