Lu Qingwan ignored her and squatted down to examine the child in her arms.
The child's face had already turned pale, and his lips were a frightening deep purple.
Prying open his eyelids, his pupils were dilated, his breathing weak, showing signs of imminent death.
Lu Qingwan snatched the child away, "Meng Sheng, prepare for surgery. Shen Qingzhou, bring more people, Madam Xu, you too!"
At that time, many patients were still in Bai Xinglin, and seeing this situation, they all looked over curiously.
Someone stood at the intersection, and Lu Qingwan, holding the child, roared, "Get out of the way, all of you, get out of the way!"
In the operating room, Lu Qingwan had specially prepared a set of equipment for the Meng father and son to learn from, which was now being used.
In the inner room, Lu Qingwan placed the child on the operating table, using the ventilator, defibrillator, and all other equipment.
She called out to Meng Sheng, "Inject the antidote serum for the child and defibrillate to restore his heartbeat."
She went out to the outer room to draw blood from Madam Xu and the people Shen Qingzhou brought, "The child is too deeply poisoned, he needs a blood transfusion. I won't be polite with you, his mother. You few, if you are willing, stay, and if you are not willing, leave. I will not complain to the Prince."
Shen Qingzhou knew Lu Qingwan's identity, but the other soldiers did not. After a moment of hesitation, Shen Qingzhou asked their question on their behalf, "Will the blood transfusion harm our bodies?"
Lu Qingwan understood their concerns and told them the truth, "In the next few days, you might experience dizziness, fatigue, and other symptoms. Eating more nutritious food will help you recover."
Madam Xu, afraid that the soldiers would refuse and delay the child's treatment, quickly said, "Divine Doctor Lin, you don't need to bother them. My blood is enough."
"Whether your blood can be used is not up to me. Blood transfusion also has conditions. Unsuitable blood will only make him die faster." Lu Qingwan said angrily, "I've reminded you multiple times, but you didn't even prevent him from being allergic to peanuts. You were poisoned by mushrooms this morning, and you only brought him here now. What were you thinking?"
Madam Xu's tears flowed incessantly, and she could only shake her head.
Lu Qingwan didn't want to inquire about her personal affairs, and only said, "Saving people is my duty. I also feel sorry for the child, and I will do my best to save him. However, I must tell you that even if he is saved this time, his body will not be able to recover completely. Even if you raise him in luxury for the rest of your life, he will only be able to live a sickly life, and it will be impossible for him to run and play like ordinary children."
After a moment of hesitation, the few soldiers still agreed to donate blood, and Lu Qingwan proceeded with the blood draw without delay. She even couldn't help but tease them, "You agreed to donate blood so readily. Aren't you afraid I'll deceive you? What if there are any sequelae, will you regret it?"
Shen Qingzhou was among those donating blood. He shook his head and didn't explain. A plump young soldier chuckled and said, "Normally, we brothers risk our lives to protect the citizens of Da Qian. Today, a little blood loss can save a life, which is already very worthwhile."
This unique answer made Lu Qingwan's eyes light up, "You've said it well, but you still need to take good care of your bodies."
After sealing the blood bags, she said to Madam Xu, "These soldiers are all saviors of your son. I won't interfere with anything else, but it should be fine for Madam Xu to improve their meals, right?"
Madam Xu nodded repeatedly, "No problem, I will definitely thank these soldiers for saving my son's life."
While she was speaking, Lu Qingwan had already entered the operating room. The child's blood vessels were already difficult to find, and this child had been sick repeatedly. Lu Qingwan was transfusing blood and performing purification treatment for the child, while sighing at his misfortune.
Meng Sheng, with wide eyes, was learning diligently. Seeing that Lu Qingwan was no longer so nervous, he quietly asked, "Grand-mentor, when will my father return?"
"What, are you worried about your father?" These father and son had relied on each other for many years. The father didn't put on airs, and the son was filial and diligent. Lu Qingwan sometimes envied them.
Upon hearing this, Meng Sheng nodded shyly, "It's mainly because Brother Ying Yi looked so hurried when he came last night, it always felt like something big had happened. My father, although his medical skills are good, he is timid and inexperienced. You don't know, the first time he found out you were the Regent's Consort, he was so scared that he didn't even want Bai Xinglin anymore and wanted to run away with me overnight. I persuaded him after much effort, he really can't handle scares..."
Lu Qingwan felt like laughing as she listened, thinking that her father was not so timid when he was in the palace. However, fearing that it would scare the child, she said euphemistically, "Don't worry, your father is fine. He is just helping me take care of an elder of mine. If it weren't for my inconvenient identity, I wouldn't have bothered him. But it won't be long, he will return in at most three days."
Meng Sheng knew that Lu Qingwan was a woman, so he could understand the inconvenience, and didn't press further.
After the blood transfusion was completed, the child was transferred to a regular ward. Madam Xu thanked Lu Qingwan profusely and even wanted to kneel and kowtow. Lu Qingwan was helpless, "Madam Xu, please take good care of the child. Not letting him get into trouble again will be the greatest thanks to me."
With that, she bypassed Madam Xu and returned to the main hall, instructing the doctors, "You have all worked hard today. If there are no unexpected complications, all patients will fully recover within three days. For these three days, please continue to work hard. Don't worry, your hard work will not be in vain. Your consultation fees will be three times the income of an ordinary doctor sitting in consultation for a day. In the future, if any of you encounter difficulties in your medical practice, you can come to Bai Xinglin for advice at any time. As long as I, Lin Sa, know it, I will not keep any secrets."
If the consultation fees made the doctors feel that their efforts were not in vain, then Lu Qingwan's subsequent words directly touched their hearts. A young doctor, who looked similar in age to Meng Sheng, looked at her with surprise and said, "Really? Divine Doctor Lin, if I want to learn your unique skills, will you teach me too?"
Lu Qingwan nodded, "Of course. Bai Xinglin is just a pharmacy today, but it will not always be just a pharmacy. In the future, I will recruit many young doctors, and even young people who are interested in medicine and have no foundation, to learn medical skills. While developing Bai Xinglin, I will also benefit the people, striving to make medical treatment accessible to all."
The young doctor was clearly very excited, but he was also a little confused, "But if you do this, won't your unique prescriptions, acupuncture techniques, and even your healing abilities be learned by others? Don't you care at all?" The other doctors also looked at Lu Qingwan in confusion, as if they couldn't believe that someone would share their unique secrets so completely.
Lu Qingwan chuckled, "There are so many scholars in the world, yet very few can pass the imperial examinations and enter the Wen Yuan Pavilion. There are countless martial arts practitioners, yet only a handful of renowned top masters. Similarly, no matter how many people study medicine, if I, Lin Sa, am skilled enough, why should I worry about being replaced by others?"
