Chapter 1286: 625 Slap in the Face (Second Update)_3

Mu Qingchen’s lips twitched once more as he clenched his fist, unable to restrain himself. Without moving his lips, he ground out a few words through his teeth, "This is too much..." _{freeweɓnøvel.com}

Gu Jiao turned to take the Duke’s pulse.

She didn’t bring her first aid kit, firstly because she didn’t trust this group of people and didn’t want to expose the secrets of her kit to them prematurely.

Secondly, these people didn’t trust her much either. If she had brought it, who knows how that young man named Director Shao would have interrogated her.

If she really needed to use an instrument from her first aid kit, she would come again tomorrow. She didn’t believe that Director Shao would be at the Duke Residence every day, watching her.

Gu Jiao’s three fingers landed accurately on the Duke’s wrist.

Miao Ruoxin detested this person for touching her patient, but she clenched her teeth and suppressed the fury in her heart as she watched Mu Qingchen, who remained silent.

She snorted coldly, "I’ve only just managed to stabilize the Duke’s condition, and in a few more days, His Grace was about to wake up. Yet now, you’ve brought some half-competent person to meddle with my treatment. Let me make myself clear—this greatly affects the outcome of my treatment. If the Duke doesn’t wake up, do not put the blame on my head!"

The Second Lady wavered, "This young brother..."

Gu Jiao didn’t pay her any mind and, after taking the pulse, immediately began removing the silver needles.

Miao Ruoxin’s face darkened to the extreme.

Gu Jiao then lifted the Duke’s eyelids, "Make way, you’re blocking the light."

Mu Qingchen furrowed his brows but still moved aside to accommodate.

The Second Lady truly didn’t want to make way, but she couldn’t afford to offend Mu Qingchen.

The young man narrowed his eyes slightly and stepped aside, then, as if enjoying the commotion, he said teasingly to Miao Ruoxin, "Miss Miao, please step aside; don’t hinder the miraculous healing of this divine physician from Zhan Country."

Miao Ruoxin said dismissively, "I’ve never heard of any divine physician from Zhan Country!"

No sooner had she spoken than something seemed to occur to her, causing a momentary pause in her expression.

But she quickly shook her head.

Impossible. The physician who cured the plague on the borders was a woman.

During the examination of the Duke, Gu Jiao found a very noticeable scar behind his head. She suspected that he had suffered a basal skull fracture, causing some degree of nerve or brain damage.

Gu Jiao asked, "Does the Second Lady recall whether His Grace experienced any leaking fluids from the nose or ears after he was injured and fell into a coma?"

The Second Lady was startled, "Leaking... leaking what?"

Gu Jiao explained, "It would look similar to a runny nose."

If it was cerebrospinal fluid leakage, it would almost certainly indicate an open brain injury.
