Chapter 242: Chapter 243: Craniotomy Surgery
Chapter 242 -243: Craniotomy Surgery
After diagnosing through pulse examination, Shao He discovered it was hypertension coupled with vascular obstruction, and to confirm whether there was an aneurysm, they needed to go to Anji Hall for instrument testing.
Seeing the solemn expression on his face, Pei Huaian tentatively asked, “Is Father’s illness very serious?”
“It’s a bit tricky; we need to go to Anji Hall for instrument testing,” Shao He knew that this approach might not gain everyone’s approval, but there was no other choice at the moment.
The Empress and others had been anxiously waiting outside the door until they saw the palace gates open.
The Empress was the first to rush up and ask, “How is it? The Emperor’s health…”
Before she could finish, Shao He directly said, “For the specifics, we may need to take the Emperor to Anji Hall for some instrument testing to find out.”
Yet these words made the Empress flatly reject the idea, “No, how can we do that?”
Pei Chengye added, “That’s right, it’s far too dangerous, we absolutely cannot take Father out of the palace.”
The others also began to hesitate; the situation indeed seemed inappropriate, but they felt that Shao He was the only one who could save the Emperor.
Pei Huaian, curious, asked, “If it really is an aneurysm, what then?”
“If it really is an aneurysm, we would need to perform cranial surgery.”
This statement startled everyone, and even the Empress couldn’t believe her ears.
Observing everyone’s expressions, Shao He explained, “It’s no different from performing surgery in the abdomen.”
But the crowd still couldn’t believe it, that someone could actually perform cranial surgery, and the Empress even said sternly, “You are clearly practicing witchcraft, and yet you have the audacity to boast here!”
“Empress, you misunderstand. The cranial surgery I speak of is meant to heal and save lives, not some witchcraft!”
“Hmph, you make it sound so easy. If the Emperor accidentally suffers from your treatment, how many lives do you have to compensate?”
“Empress, you worry too much. Since I dared to say this, I can naturally prove it.”
Ha… then tell us, what method will you use to treat him? Surely with your witchcraft.”
“No, it’s medical skill!” Shao He nodded in agreement, “Although my learning is not profound, I am quite familiar with cranial surgery, so please rest assured, Your Highness!”
The Empress laughed it off, “What nonsense, with your arrogance and ignorance, do you really think I would believe you?”
With that, she prepared to leave, but Pei Huaian quickly grabbed the Empress’s sleeve.
Seeing his determined face, the Empress said with some helplessness, “Do you not realize how risky this is? Cutting open someone’s head, how could they possibly survive!”
“Mother, I only ask you to try one more time. Right now, only Doctor Shao can save Father.”
The Empress glanced at Pei Huaian’s pale face, took a deep breath, and ultimately did not agree.
“This matter is too dangerous; let’s wait for the Emperor to wake up before deciding!”
Shao He was not surprised by this outcome; she had guessed that the Empress would not agree.
She prescribed some medication for the vascular obstruction and instructed the maids how to simmer it, for how long; every maid took the instructions seriously.
Seizing the moment, the Empress came forward and said, “Why don’t you stay overnight in the imperial palace tonight, so if anything happens to the Emperor, you can attend to him promptly.”
“The Emperor likely won’t wake up tonight; we will have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest.” Shao He’s response was a polite refusal to the Empress’s offer of hospitality; she did not want to stay in this palace full of schemes.
The Empress, with a smile, took her hands, “Don’t be afraid, I will arrange a place for you to stay where no one will disturb you.”
Pei Huaian stepped forward and said, “It’s not necessary, Mother. It’s inconvenient if Doctor Shao doesn’t return tonight. I will bring her back tomorrow.”
“But…”
“Moreover, with so many Imperial Physicians around, Father should be fine.” Pei Huaian cut off what the Empress was about to say.
Seeing his firm attitude, the Empress had no choice but to give up and let the two of them leave.
The other princes also dispersed one by one, and the Empress returned to her sleeping quarters with the silent support of her aid.
“Empress, why do you not seize this opportunity to take action against the Emperor so that the Second Prince could ascend to the throne directly based on his Crown Prince status?” the nanny asked, puzzled.
She did not understand why the Empress would waste such a good opportunity and instead let someone else cure the Emperor.
Supported as she sat on the soft couch, the Empress, massaging her tired forehead, analyzed, “Chengye’s capabilities are not yet sufficient; he still needs experience. Moreover, that woman’s medical skills are strange, and we can’t easily take action without raising suspicion.”
“A commoner girl doctor, why would you consider her so highly?”

Hearing this, the Empress shook her head and said, “Don’t underestimate that female doctor. If you had heard about her deeds, you wouldn’t speak so lightly.”
Today, she had intentionally blocked the claim that the woman’s medical skills were inferior to the Imperial Physicians.
Suddenly thinking of something, the nanny said, “I feel that the Fifth Prince was a bit off today.”
“Not just today. I suspect that the matter with Chu Yu is also related to him. If all this was indeed his design, then it shows he is not as prodigal as he appears,” the Empress said with her eyes slightly narrowed.
Hearing this, the nanny was shocked and then whispered, “Do you mean, Your Highness, that you suspect the Fifth Prince pretends to be prodigal and unlearned, while actually being extremely shrewd?”
“Exactly, I suspect that he is not the prodigal he appears to be,” the Empress felt a growing unease in her heart, realizing that leaving Pei Huaian behind might have been a mistake.
