Chapter 899: The Young Marquis's Broken Engagement Wife (21)
Shangguan Xiong pointed at Gao Qin and cursed, "Old fox!"
Shangguan Ruojin came out of the tent and did not go to the medical tent immediately, but went to his two brothers first.
"Miss, you're back! I've packed everything, let's go back to the city!" Luoyue carried her things and walked quickly forward.
"Luoyue, do you know the young marquis from the capital?" Shangguan Ruojin suddenly asked, "Before, no matter how badly someone was injured, you hoped I could take a look and save them if I could, but today..."
Luo Yue pursed her lips and said nothing. Shangguan Ruoyu spoke first: "These are all trivial matters. It doesn't matter whether we know each other or not."
"Yes! It doesn't matter who he is. As a doctor, I have to take a look and not leave any room for gossip!" Shangguan Ruojin ordered, "Put the things down first! Luoyue, come with me to the medical tent."
Luoyue wanted to say something, but in the end she just said, "Okay!"
The Shangguan brothers wanted to go along, but were stopped by Shangguan Ruojin.
Huo Qingyang was awakened by the pain. He opened his eyes and looked at the military tent curtain above his head. If his knees had not been so painful, he would probably have thought he was dreaming.
"My Lord, you're awake!" Huo Xu said in surprise. "You've been unconscious for almost half an hour. I was thinking of sending a carriage to take us back to Youcheng. I thought the military doctor couldn't cure you, and there might be a doctor in the city with better medical skills."
"I've never heard of a kneecap being broken by a horse and then healed!" Huo Qingyang said with a wry smile. "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have competed with the Shangguan family. I always thought that my riding and archery skills were among the best in the capital, and a draw would be no problem. I didn't expect such an accident to happen!"
After being unconscious just now, Huo Qingyang has obviously calmed down a lot.
"After all, the military camp is not a place for us to stay for long. Let's go back to Youcheng first!" Slowly regaining his senses, Huo Qingyang remembered the conflicts between him and the Shangguan family.
It’s not a big deal, but it’s not a small matter either. Judging from the performance of the two brothers of the Shangguan family before, it’s obvious that they have already noticed something.
He can't stay here.
Even though Huo Qingyang is a marquis, these two scoundrels really killed him, but it's just a matter of losing some rewards.
Thinking of this, Huo Qingyang suddenly realized that there were so many people who were more qualified than himself to come to Youcheng to entertain the troops, why did the emperor choose him? It was very likely that he had no more rewards to offer and was using him as a favor.
The cold sweat that had just dried up started to appear again.
"Hurry up and prepare the carriage, we will go back to Youcheng immediately!" Huo Qingyang shouted in a hoarse voice.
"Let's go, where to, my Lord? Can you still walk?" Shangguan Ruojin opened the tent and heard that the other party was about to leave, so he spoke, "The best trauma doctors in Youcheng are all serving in the army. The nearest capital will take three days to arrive, but I'm afraid your legs won't last that long."
As the door curtain was opened, the setting sun shone in. Huo Qingyang looked at the woman who used to be very elegantly dressed, now she was dressed in men's clothes.
Her head was covered with pearls and jade, with only a pomegranate red headband remaining.
If we have to say anything similar to the past, it is probably that the golden pendants are still retained at both ends of the headband.
"Xiao Jin!" Huo Qingyang felt his throat was dry, not because he was thirsty, but because he instinctively didn't know what to say.
Over the past few years, he had imagined many times the scenario of the two of them meeting again.
Some hugged each other and cried, some confided their true feelings to each other, some admitted their mistakes with shame, and some reconciled with each other.
But there is no such embarrassing situation as now.
"My Lord, I'm not very familiar with you. Please just call me Doctor Shangguan!" On the way here, Luoyue had already told Shangguan Ruojin that this man was once her fiancé, but the engagement was later cancelled.
Luo Yue originally didn't know how to explain the reason for breaking off the engagement, but Shangguan Ruojin was very open-minded: "What reason could there be? Either he has fallen in love with someone else, or I have fallen in love with someone else. Now that I am alone, it can only be because he has changed his mind!"
Afterwards, Shangguan Ruojin patted Luoyue and said, "I can be indifferent to life and death, let alone love! It's okay if you deliberately avoid it for me in the future!"
"Doctor Shangguan, could you please take a look at my Lord's legs?" Huo Xu immediately spoke up to smooth things over.
Shangguan Ruojin ignored Huo Xu, took the gloves from Luoyue and began to check the wound.
"One, two, three!" Shangguan Ruojin examined the bones very carefully, counting them as she went along. She stopped only after making sure there were no large pieces of broken bones. "So far, I've found three broken bones!"
She glanced at the results of Luoyue's bone-penetrating needle examination and frowned slightly, saying, "I didn't expect you to be so capable. I didn't cry out when I did that examination just now."
There was blood at the corner of Huo Qingyang's mouth. He had just clenched his teeth to avoid crying out in pain - no matter what, he couldn't lose his composure in front of the other party.
Luoyue curled her lips and did not expose the man's appearance of being too concerned about face.
After taking off his gloves, Shangguan Ruojin took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that had been prepared long ago, and drew three irregular shapes with just a few strokes.
After handing the paper to Huo Qingyang, she said, "You're lucky! The bone was broken into three pieces. You're unlucky! The bone was only broken into three pieces, not shattered into pieces!"
Luo Yue, who knew her young lady well, heard the hidden meaning in these words and asked in surprise, "Young lady, do you mean that he can be saved in this situation?"
"Then it depends on whether to save your life or your leg!" Shangguan Rujin smiled, but her smile was a bit malicious. "To save your life, just saw off your leg and it will be over once and for all!"
Huo Qingyang had recovered by now. He asked in a trembling voice, "What if I want to save my leg?"
"Use special metal nails to connect the three bones and see if they can be healed. If they can, remove the nails. If they can't, keep using the nails!" Shangguan Rujin said it simply, but anyone who understands medical principles can understand the difficulty involved!
Upon hearing this, the military doctor on duty exclaimed, "Doctor Shangguan, this... this, is this true? You don't seem to have mentioned this treatment plan before!"
"A gold or silver nail, both in terms of material and craftsmanship, requires a very high cost. If this weren't for the fact that you're a marquis, I wouldn't even mention it!" Shangguan Ruojin said to the military doctor, "Besides, putting this kind of nail in a soldier's body is not a good thing."
After hearing this, the military doctor immediately understood - if this was really done, there would be more people who would commit murder for money in the future.
"I know that the young marquis will have no problem financially, but he'll have to endure more than a little pain." Shangguan Ruojin said, pinching his fingers. "You have three days to consider. We respect your choice!"
