The Prime Minister’s Darling-Chapter 401 - : 204 Slapping the face (Second update)

Chapter 401: 204 Slapping the face (Second update)

“Don’t move. It’ll be over soon.” Gu Jiao was cleaning a patient’s wound.

This was the first craftsman who noticed something wrong with the furnace and hurriedly told people to run out.

If it wasn’t for him, all the craftsmen who were fanning the furnace at that time would have been blown to death.

However, despite their quick escape, the furnace exploded quickly as well, and many people were severely injured. Especially after this furnace exploded, the rest collapsed, and the fire burnt down the entire workshop.

The loss to the imperial court was immense.

“Doctor… Will my leg be useless?” The craftsman’s leg had lost feeling, and he said fearfully.

...

Gu Jiao was stitching up his wound: “No, we just applied anesthetic. You’ve temporarily lost sensation, but you’ll feel pain once the effect of the medicine wears off.”

The craftsman calmed down, gratefully looked at Gu Jiao, and weakly said, “Miss… I am fine now… Go and treat others…”

“Alright.” Gu Jiao nodded, finished the last stitch, bandaged his wound, and moved on to the next patient.

Another patient had extensive burns on his back. Doctor Song was doing a simple clean-up with saline solution provided by Gu Jiao, but the wound was too large. This was the first time Doctor Song had dealt with such a severe patient, and he was somewhat clumsy.

“I’ll do it,” Gu Jiao said to him, “you go and check on the patients over there.”

“Ah!” Doctor Song gave the place to Gu Jiao and went to check on the other two patients with yellow strips.

This patient had a red strip, critical but still had a chance of being saved.

Gu Jiao bent down, took a pair of scissors, and cut open all the remaining clothes on his back.

He hadn’t completely lost consciousness, which meant he was enduring tremendous pain.

Gu Jiao took a dose of painkiller from the first aid kit and was about to inject it when Jinyu rushed over like a madman, grabbed Gu Jiao’s wrist, and said harshly, “I called you for so long, didn’t you hear? Someone over there is dying! Go and save him!”

In Jinyu’s heart, Gu Jiao was just a little pharmacy apprentice. But in a crisis, she began to rely on this pharmacy apprentice.

Gu Jiao irritably glanced at the hand that was grabbing her wrist: “Let go.”

She didn’t feel like saying another word.

Jinyu argued: “Aren’t you a doctor? How can you let someone die in front of you?” She pointed to the patient lying next to Gu Jiao, “That person’s condition is far worse than his! If you don’t treat him, he will die!”

Of course, Gu Jiao understood the man’s condition. She had personally tied the black strip. Those on the brink of death had no chance to be saved. Attempting to save him would result in the death of many critically injured patients with red bands.

When Gu Jiao ignored her, Jinyu exploded: “Are you just going to stand by and watch him die? Have you no conscience left?”

Gu Jiao snatched her wrist away, injected the painkiller into the patient’s arm, and with her free hand, she slapped Jinyu!

This wasn’t a small slap like she used to get in the town while playing with Zhuang Mengdie.

Jinyu was directly knocked to the ground, her right ear ringing. Her mouth bled from the force of the slap, and her forehead hit a piece of broken wood, which immediately caused bleeding.

Jinyu looked at Gu Jiao in disbelief.

Gu Jiao had already finished applying the painkiller to the patient’s injury. She took out a sterilized dressing to cover the patient’s wound, being careful with her movements.

After finishing, she stood up and looked at Jinyu coldly: “Now you know that people are dying. What have you been doing so far? If you can’t even calculate how much wind force and volume a furnace can withstand, who gave you the guts to manipulate the blower?”

Jinyu’s face blanched!

Gu Jiao said coldly: “If you’re ignorant, go somewhere to foolishly die yourself. Don’t come out and harm others!”

Gu Jiao had already seen the old blacksmith before and knew the ins and outs of the entire accident.

This was originally an accident that could have been entirely avoided.

A young man watched everything that happened between Gu Jiao and Jinyu: “Find out who that girl is.”

Minister Zhao was about to respond when an invisible guard from nowhere appeared, saluted, and said, “Yes!”

Minister Zhao had a fright, “As expected of the prince, even his guards are magically invisible!”

As the fire spread, it was not appropriate to stay long at the site. Minister Zhao also joined the rank of evacuating the injured.

Soon, Gu Changqing arrived with a group of guards.

The Ministry of Works and the Military Camp belonged to different factions, strictly speaking, the accident at the Ministry of Works had nothing to do with the Military Camp. But when he heard that the doctor from the Temple of Marvelous Hands had been conscripted by the Ministry of Works, he led his guards over.
