Chapter 777 - Shock? Confusion!
Chapter 777: Shock? Confusion!
Su Wan stood behind a few medical staff. She stood on tiptoe anxiously and looked at Jiang Xuecheng’s situation.
When she saw that Jiang Xuecheng’s thin lips were almost pursed into a straight line, Su Wan’s eyes could not help but redden slightly.
He must be in a lot of pain, but he was trying his best not to say anything.
After hearing the attending physician’s question, Su Wan was the first to react. Was he asking about the species of scorpion?!
That’s right. Even if one was bitten by a venomous snake, one had to identify the species of the snake in order to treat it.
It was already painful enough to force the poisoned blood out of Jiang Xuecheng at this moment. If he still had to divert his attention to answer the attending physician’s question, it would probably hurt even more.
Thinking of this, Su Wan furrowed her brows and immediately began to answer.
“Doctor, I saw that scorpion! Let me tell you.”
The medical staff immediately tilted their heads and looked at Su Wan. At this moment, Su Wan’s eyes were filled with worry about Jiang Xuecheng’s situation, so she directly ignored the gazes of these people.
Following the actions of the attending physician, black and red poisoned blood flowed out from Jiang Xuecheng’s abdomen. Gradually, the fresh blood also began to turn back to its normal color.
However, the wound still needed to be cleaned and disinfected. If the problem was serious, it would need to be treated with special antibiotics depending on the situation.
After all, the injured person was the emperor. Even if there was only a one-in-ten-thousand chance of a pathological change, they could not afford be careless.
Su Wan carefully recalled the scorpion’s appearance and characteristics, and soon, her train of thought was clear.
Because she was worried about Jiang Xuecheng, Su Wan’s hands were tightly clenched into fists, but the narration from her mouth was still orderly.
“That was a khaki-colored scorpion. Its body was unusually big, but its eyes were extremely small. Oh, right! and its eyes are scarlet!”
When Jiang Xuecheng noticed how Su Wan looked at him with reddened eyes, he could not help but feel a slight warmth in his heart.
He was the one who was injured, but it was as if the little girl had been stung by a venomous scorpion.
Fortunately, after seeing Su Wan’s narration, he was not blinded by worry.
Hearing Su Wan’s words, the attending physician who was squeezing the poisoned blood from Jiang Xuecheng paused for a moment.
“Are you saying that the scorpion’s body is not only khaki-colored, but its eyes are also scarlet? When you saw that scorpion, how was the lighting in the room? Could it be that you saw it wrongly because it was too dark?”
The attending physician frowned tightly and subconsciously repeated Su Wan’s words.
There were many types of khaki-colored scorpions, but if their bodies were extremely large and their eyes were scarlet-colored, there were not many such scorpions.
To be precise, there were very few types of them.
The attending physician immediately came up with an answer in his mind.
This was because he had seen more than one venomous scorpion with this appearance!
Moreover, it was within the God’s Palace!
However, the place where those venomous scorpions were kept was very secretive, and the security was very tight. How did it end up here?
…
Su Wan didn’t notice anything strange about the attending physician. She thought that he was worried about the state of Jiang Xuecheng’s body, so she tried her best to make sure that the details were true.
“Doctor, the lights in the room were turned on at that time. I am absolutely sure that I did not see wrongly. His Highness also bore witness!”
Hearing Su Wan’s unquestionable tone, the attending physician’s eyes dodged slightly.
He turned his head and looked at Jiang Xuecheng respectfully.
“Your Highness, was the situation you saw also like this?”
Jiang Xuecheng nodded indifferently, his expression extremely calm.
Seeing that Jiang Xuecheng also agreed with Su Wan’s earlier description, the attending physician’s lips opened as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he swallowed the words in his heart.
After suppressing the strange expression on his face, the attending physician lowered his head, afraid that Jiang Xuecheng would notice something strange.
“Your Highness, the poisoned blood has basically been squeezed out. I’ll use a special medicine to wash your wound. This will probably be very painful. I hope you can forgive me.”
Jiang Xuecheng was so close to the attending physician that he could see every tiny expression on the attending physician’s face, not to mention that the other party’s hand, which had just squeezed out blood for him, had even trembled a little.
If the attending physician was not reminded of something, he definitely would not believe it!
Jiang Xuecheng’s long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint light suddenly flashed across them.
“Doctor, you just heard the description of scorpion’s appearance. You must have remembered something, right?”
Although it was a question, Jiang Xuecheng said it sternly and resolutely, not giving anyone the chance to refute him.
Jiang Xuecheng’s firm words flashed past his ears. The attending physician’s hand that was holding the medicine shook, and he almost knocked the medicine that was used to clean the wound onto the ground!
Fortunately, the medical assistant beside him helped him up.
Such an obvious guilty conscience probably could be seen, let alone Su Wan, who was the furthest away, by anyone present.
Director Fan was a shrewd person. He quickly smelled the smoke in the air. He tried his best to reduce his presence.
Today’s matter was strange in the first place. Anyone who did not think things through would be implicated.
Beads of sweat appeared on the attending physician’s forehead. He thought for a long time before he stammered out an explanation.
“Your… Your Highness, I have not seen the scorpion’s true appearance. Actually, I am not too sure now. I still need to go back and investigate it carefully.”
Jiang Xuecheng laughed coldly in his heart and threw an impatient look at the attending physician.
“You said you are not sure?”
Jiang Xuecheng’s voice was neither loud nor soft. He clearly did not deliberately emphasize anything, but there was an inexplicable sense of oppression.
The attending physician’s body stiffened. His expression became more and more fearful, and his lips kept sinking.
“I–”
However, the attending physician had just uttered the word “I” when he saw Jiang Xuecheng suddenly raise his hand to interrupt him.
“Director Fan, send someone to search in the grass below Su Wan’s window. That scorpion will most likely have fallen to its death there.”
Hearing Jiang Xuecheng’s instructions, Director Fan threw a sympathetic look at the attending physician and immediately instructed the guards to look for the scorpion that Jiang Xuecheng was talking about.
The attending physician’s back also began to sweat, but washing and applying medicine to Jiang Xuecheng could not be delayed.
He had distracting thoughts in his mind, and his hands began to tremble. He had no choice but to have an experienced assistant start applying medicine to Jiang Xuecheng.
In less than two to three minutes, before Jiang Xuecheng’s wounds were completely cleaned, someone brought the scorpion’s body up.
The dead venomous scorpion had been thrown into a completely transparent glass bottle. As it had fallen from the building halfway, it had hit too many things, and a lot of its originally hard outer shell had been shattered.
But even so, its outer features were still clear, and there was not much change.
Seeing that scorpion, the attending physician’s heart trembled and his expression completely froze.
He confirmed that this was the type of scorpion he had seen before that was reared by humans. Its appearance was exactly the same.
But why would this type of scorpion appear here?!
And it even managed to sting the emperor!
Seeing the attending physician’s appearance, Jiang Xuecheng’s heart became even more certain. He calmly glanced at the attending physician and his voice was as cold as jade.
“Now that you’ve seen it, can you explain it clearly?”
