Adrenaline had to be used four times before Shangguan Yun’s blood pressure and pulse finally stabilized.
"Blood pressure normal, pulse normal," the National Master declared.
"Stretcher," Gu Jiao said.
She put away the blood pressure monitor.
The National Master went to the door to instruct the disciples of the National Master Hall to fetch the stretcher.
The monarch frowned and asked, "Where are you taking the person?"
The National Master replied, "To the National Master Hall, we cannot treat them here."
The monarch did not ask why they could not be treated there, he merely frowned and said to Zhang Dequan, "You go as well."

Gu Jiao glanced at the monarch, "If I cure him, are you going to come with your head to thank me?"
The monarch glared, "You!"
Zhang Dequan hurriedly intervened pretending to stop the monarch, stammering, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Saving lives is urgent! Saving lives is urgent!"
