The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

Li Muxia was busy from the second day after arriving at Jishi Manor. She had to prepare for Bai Mujin's surgery and also prepare to remove the curse from Dongfang Jincheng. Time passed by little by little.

Ten days later, everything for Bai Mujin's surgery was ready.

Looking at the clean and bright operating room, Li Muxia felt a little dazed, as if she had returned to the modern world.

Except for the lighting equipment, which was not as good as modern surgical lights, everything else was arranged like a modern operating room.

Over the past ten days, she has also discussed the details of the surgery with Bai Qingshi, Bai Shu, Bai Mujin, and Shangguan Jingye. After all, the surgery cannot be performed by her alone. As expected of medical geniuses, they understand everything immediately without needing much explanation from Li Muxia.

When the actual surgery began, everyone except Li Muxia was both excited and apprehensive, including Bai Mujin, who was lying on the operating table.

Li Muxia noticed Bai Mujin's tension and comforted her, "Senior sister, relax, you'll feel better after a good night's sleep."

Bai Mujin felt a sense of inexplicable peace when she saw Li Muxia. She smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, I believe in you."

After saying that, he drank the anesthetic that Li Muxia had prepared. There was no injectable anesthetic available now, so he had to take it orally.

Bai Mujin fell into a deep sleep shortly afterward. Li Muxia called out to Bai Mujin twice, but received no response. He turned to look at the others and said in a serious tone, "Begin the surgery."

The team immediately got into the zone, each of them giving it their all. This was their first time working together on a surgery, and to be honest, they were all quite excited.

The four had a clear division of labor. Li Muxia had performed this kind of surgery many times in modern times and was already very skilled. Bai Qingshi and the others were doing it for the first time, and because the patient was their relative, they were somewhat nervous.

After Li Muxia noticed this, she comforted him while explaining the details of the surgery.

The group was eager to learn, and for a moment they forgot that the patient was Bai Mujin, and seriously followed Li Muxia's instructions.

By the time the operating room door opened, the sun had already set. Inside, you don't feel the passage of time; it's only after you come out that you feel utterly exhausted.

Bai Qingshi was getting on in years, and the moment he came out, he felt unsteady on his feet. If Bai Shu hadn't been there to support him in time, he might have really collapsed.

Because Li Muxia had undergone too many lengthy surgeries in her previous life, her body was used to it, so there was nothing unusual about her. Bai Shu and Shangguan Jingye were both young men, and apart from feeling a little uncomfortable suddenly relaxing after concentrating for so long, they were fine. However, they still looked somewhat tired.

Xiaoyaozi did not participate in the surgery today because he took Dongfang Jincheng to a hot spring in the back mountain. This hot spring is a medicinal spring, and Dongfang Jincheng had to soak in it for two hours every day before the Gu was cured to suppress the activity of the Gu worms.

That way, when the curse is lifted, he won't suffer so much.

After the two returned, they waited outside the operating room, and now they saw several people coming out.

Xiaoyaozi stepped forward and asked, "How was it? Was the surgery successful?"

Li Muxia nodded and said, "It seems the surgery was successful. Senior Sister is still not awake and needs to be monitored post-surgery. Master and Senior Brother are tired, so let them go and rest. I'll stay here and watch over Senior Sister."

Bai Qingshi was indeed tired, and he couldn't help but sigh that he was really getting old. He didn't refuse Li Muxia's suggestion that he rest, because if he overexerted himself and something happened, it would cause trouble for Li Muxia and the others.

However, before leaving, he instructed, "Mu Xia, you should rest too. Let Bai Shu and Jing Ye take turns watching."

Bai Shu and Shangguan Jingye also nodded in agreement.

Li Muxia declined, saying, "Both of you are participating in surgery for the first time and are not very familiar with the postoperative precautions. So, I'll do it. If you're not tired, you can stay by my side and I'll explain the postoperative precautions to you."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qingshi knew that Li Muxia was right, and nodded, saying, "Yes, thank you for your hard work, Muxia."

Li Muxia smiled and nodded, and Bai Qingshi went back to rest with peace of mind.

Looking at the group, Xiaoyaozi was curious about the surgery and asked, "Muxia, may I go in and take a look?"

Li Muxia shook her head slightly and said, "Second Master, it's not possible now. We have to wait until Senior Sister leaves the operating room."

Hearing Li Muxia's words, Xiaoyaozi showed no impatience or anger, and said, "In that case, this old man will prepare some tonics."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia smiled and said, "Master, it's already prepared. Why would you need to prepare it now?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyaozi snorted coldly: "He prepared what he wants. Besides, those are all for little Mujin. This old man prepared them for you guys."

After saying that, he turned and left without waiting for Li Muxia's reply. Li Muxia felt a warmth in her heart; this old man cared about her.

Seeing that everyone had left, Bai Shu and Shangguan Jingye turned and went into the operating room.

Only Dongfang Jincheng and Li Muxia remained at the scene.

The two looked at each other and spoke at the same time.

Dongfang Jincheng: "Are you tired?"

Li Muxia: "How are you feeling?"

Immediately, Li Muxia was amused by the tacit understanding between the two, and Dongfang Jincheng also smiled.

Li Muxia: "I heard from my second master a couple of days ago that the last ingredient is on its way, and it shouldn't be long before it can remove the curse from you."

Dongfang Jincheng: "Yes, I have to go back after I remove the Gu. My father's birthday is coming up, and other countries may send people to offer their congratulations. My father has asked me to be in charge of receiving them, so I need to go back in advance to prepare."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia said, "I see. Then I guess I should go back soon too. However, I probably won't be able to go back with the Prince. I need to observe my senior sister's leg for a while longer. But I will try my best to get to the capital before the Emperor's birthday banquet."

Although Dongfang Jincheng regretted not being able to travel with Li Muxia, he knew that she had her own things to do.

At this moment, Bai Shu's voice came from inside: "Junior Sister, come and see if Jin'er is about to wake up."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia bowed slightly to Dongfang Jincheng, then turned and went inside.

As Dongfang Jincheng watched the door close, his heart was far from calm.

At the Emperor's birthday banquet, two countries sent their congratulations. He had already read the news from the Shadow Pavilion. The Dragon Soaring Kingdom sent Crown Prince Long Haonan and Third Princess Long Xinya, while the Southern Ling Kingdom sent Nangong Huaiyuan and Nangong Yufeng. Nangong Huaiyuan and Li Muxia had some connection, and he wondered if he would cause any trouble at the banquet.

The Dragon Kingdom sent a princess this time, and their intentions are quite clear: they are probably seeking a marriage alliance. The Southern Ling Kingdom sent two princes, who will likely also propose a marriage alliance. It's just unknown who their targets are.
