Chapter 1352: Warning from the Operating Table: Live for Yourself
After Yun Mujiu's words, Bei Manji and Bei Liyi fell into deep thought, their faces changing dramatically. It was Emperor Beihan. He had been targeting them in recent years! They had moved into a new bedroom, and only they were entitled to enjoy the spring water in the harem garden, which was said to be drawn from outside the palace.
Yun Mujiu ignored the twists and turns of the power struggle within the Beihan royal family and simply said, "Princess Liyi's condition is serious and requires surgery. As for Princess Manji, we can observe her for a while. Perhaps simple medication will be effective."
After a while, Bei Liyi's face turned pale and he trembled as he asked, "When can the operation begin?"
Yun Mujiu smiled faintly: "Now."
"Now!" Bei Liyi and Bei Manji's faces changed again. They hadn't expected Yun Mujiu to arrive today and already have the patient at the point of needing surgery. Yun Mujiu's decisiveness and resolute approach were far beyond their expectations.
Yun Mujiu had previously instructed Fu Qian to convey Bei Liyi's intention to begin treatment, and had already allowed her to rest well in advance. After the consultation, he determined that Bei Liyi's current physical and mental condition was suitable for treatment. Furthermore, time constraints meant the condition couldn't be delayed any longer; the sooner treatment began, the better.
Yun Mujiu did not stop to drink the tea poured by Xing'er, but continued to arrange the preparations for the operation.
She had already made arrangements for Bei Liyi's treatment, including the operating room, medical team, and treatment plan. She would visit her today and adjust the treatment plan.
That afternoon, Bei Liyi moved into a pharmacy owned by Yun Mujiu. There were several operating rooms built in wooden houses, as well as many independent courtyards for patients in need to live in.
The pharmacies opened by Yun Mujiu are actually equivalent to private sanatoriums in the modern world. Like private hospitals, they provide basic hospital services. For example, patients in need can be hospitalized in the pharmacy for treatment, and there are doctors and nurses to accompany them for follow-up visits and care.
Bei Manji and Bei Liyi, along with a few of their closest followers, quickly checked into the pharmacy.
Before Bei Liyi was pushed into the ward, she caught a glimpse of a tall figure standing beside Yun Mujiu. The man was looking at Yun Mujiu quietly with a gentle look.
Bei Liyi's eyes flickered, and she sighed softly. It was the Night King, he had come. But from beginning to end, the Night King had never taken her seriously.
Ye Xiaohan brought a personal guard to the pharmacy to escort Yun Mujiu. No matter what happened during the operation, no matter what the outcome of the operation, he would protect Yun Mujiu to the end. Moreover, he believed in Yun Mujiu's medical skills. With Yun Mujiu around, the operation would not go wrong.
Yun Mujiu smiled at Ye Xiaohan: "I've already said that I can do it alone. What's more, this villa has guards, so there is no need to trouble the prince to bring people over." She knew that Ye Xiaohan had been very busy these days, and she didn't want to affect Ye Xiaohan's handling of government affairs.
"Excuse me?" Ye Xiaohan poked Yun Mujiu's face lightly with his fingertips. "There's no need to be polite between you and me. I'm just here because I have nothing to do and want to keep you company."
"Okay, okay, Xiaoxiao is right." Yun Mujiu smiled brightly, a wave of warmth rising in her heart. Ye Xiaohan had clearly come here specifically to protect her.
Yun Mujiu brought Fu Qian and several female doctors, changed their clothes, and quickly entered the operating room.
Ye Xiaohan and Wei Bai and their group of three went to the eaves of a corridor near the operating room. The guards were patrolling around the wooden house and even the yard.
Bei Manji hid in a room in the same courtyard, listening to the noises outside with trepidation. She couldn't follow Bei Liyi into the operating room, nor could she linger outside. Yun Mujiu had also sent some followers to her room, probably as a disguised way of keeping an eye on her.
Bei Manji didn't fully trust Yun Mujiu's medical skills. She had asked him for help because Bei Liyi's condition was worsening, and she herself was beginning to feel unwell. If she didn't ask Yun Muji for help now, what if Bei Liyi died soon? Would she be the next to die?
When Bei Liyi took a gamble and asked Yun Mujiu to come see her, Bei Manji anxiously awaited the results. If her niece was successfully cured, wouldn't that give her hope too? Wouldn't that solve the mystery of the many unexplained deaths of women in the Beihan Imperial Family over the years?
In the operating room, Bei Liyi was lying on the operating table, staring at Yun Mujiu who was wearing a blue mask.
Yun Mujiu opened his eyes wide and said, "The timing for treatment is right now. I can remove the small tumor while preserving your breast. If your illness continues, you'll probably have to undergo a full mastectomy, and it's likely that we won't be able to stop the spread of cancer cells, and it will all be in vain."
Bei Liyi glared and begged in a low voice, "Yun Mujiu, I beg you, you must keep my breasts intact for me. I don't want to be a disabled woman. If my body is disabled, what's the point of living! I will be ridiculed, and I, a princess of a country, will become a laughing stock! What will I do in the future? How will I find a husband in the future!"
Yun Mujiu interrupted, "Don't worry, your body will be fine."
Then, he continued in a steady tone, "You live for yourself, not for others. You are in charge of everything, not living under the arbitrary judgments of others. Besides, even if there are parts of your body that are truly damaged, is a minor injury or pain enough to make us lose our respect for life and our hope for living?"
"Bei Liyi, open your eyes and take a look. How many people in this world have an easy life? Don't the common people have their own pain? Those with eye diseases, amputated limbs, paralysis, and deaf-muteness, aren't they trying hard to live?"
"Let's take a step back and say that there's a part of your body that's not so perfect, like your breasts aren't so complete and perfect, but what's the big deal? At least you can live a good life, right? Bei Liyi, I'm not comparing suffering, nor am I blackmailing you morally. I just want to tell you to broaden your horizons and your mindset."
Bei Liyi was stunned, lost in the unique words Yun Mujiu repeated. She didn't know how to describe the feeling in her heart. It seemed as if something was blocking her and gradually becoming clearer. Of course, the bigger feeling was that Yun Mujiu was such a strong woman!
Yun Mujiu glanced at Bei Liyi and added, "So what if your breasts are defective? Will it affect your future husband-hunting or make others look down on you? Your body is your own, so why should others judge you?"
Yun Mujiu didn't say any more. She said these words to Bei Liyi not because she was a kind-hearted woman, but because she saw a patient full of sorrow at this moment, and she, a doctor, a woman herself, wanted to comfort, share and popularize some of her own thoughts to Bei Liyi, Fu Qian and the other female doctors on the operating table.
Another operating light came on, Yun Mujiu put an anesthesia mask on Bei Liyi, turned around and started working with Fu Qian and the others.
The operation officially began...
