Chapter 128 Xiao Hechuan changes his attitude
"Miss, what's so great about Mr. Xiao that is worth your efforts to treat his mother?"
"You two don't understand. Xiao Hechuan is definitely not an ordinary businessman. The people of Fangling Yazhou depend on him."
Chunya and Arong seemed to understand, and they thought that what the young lady said must make sense.
On the third day, Xiao Hechuan came to Yumen Inn in person. Song Qingwan knew that the matter was accomplished when she saw his expression.
"My Lady Princess, the execution will be carried out at noon today. Do you think we should carry him to the Xiao Residence?"
"I'll go pick it up on site myself."
Xiao Hechuan was a little surprised. The scene was so bloody. A weak girl like Song Qingwan would probably faint from fright.
But when he saw Song Qingwan simply packing up and walking out, Xiao Hechuan realized that Song Qingwan was not joking.
Xiao Hechuan followed behind Song Qingwan and couldn't help but feel a little admiration for her.
Soon the two arrived at the execution site. Song Qingwan looked at the time and saw that there was still a quarter of an hour left, so she chose a relatively secluded place to wait.
"My Lady Princess, would you like to step aside for a moment?"
"I won't look at it for a while. Mr. Xiao, just prepare the carriage. We have to rush to the old lady as soon as possible after we get it."
"It is as you wish. The carriage is waiting."
Song Qingwan nodded and stopped talking. She was afraid. How could she not be afraid?
Although she was a doctor and had seen all kinds of deaths, she had never witnessed a living person being beheaded.
She is a girl, but she is also Princess Huai and the wife of Zhao Huaijin, so she can only be afraid in her heart.
The executioner and the executioner were already ready. The prisoner was brought up with his face covered. It was obvious that he had fainted from fright.
"It's noon, execution!"
With a roar from the executioner, the wooden sign in his hand fell to the ground and the executioner raised the knife high.
"puff"
The executioner raised his knife and the prisoner's head rolled to the ground, blood splattering on the spot.
Song Qingwan's body trembled slightly. She closed her eyes tightly and clenched her fists.
"Princess, are you okay?"
Song Qingwan swiftly pushed away Xiao Hechuan's hand and trotted to the head. At this time, several soldiers had surrounded the head tacitly, which was agreed in advance.
Song Qingwan suppressed her fear and took out tweezers, a scalpel, gauze and disinfectant from the space. She quickly opened the eyes of the head and removed the cornea.
She put the things away and put the cornea into the container prepared in advance, then quickly ran to Xiao Hechuan.
"Mr. Xiao, we can go now."
"Well, please, Madam. The carriage is over there."
Song Qingwan quickly ran to the carriage, and Xiao Hechuan drove the car himself and rushed to the Xiao family.
The cornea loses its activity after one hour, so you have to be quick, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted.
Xiao Hechuan drove the carriage very steadily and they arrived at the Xiao family in less than half an hour. Song Qingwan suppressed her nausea and got off the carriage.
When they arrived at the old lady's room, Chunya and Arong had already made all the preparations. Old Lady Xiao had already changed her clothes and was lying on the bed waiting.
"Don't be nervous, old lady. Just take a good sleep."
Madam Xiao nodded, a smile appeared on her lips. She was very grateful to Song Qingwan for her hard work these days.
Even if she couldn't be cured, she was grateful from the bottom of her heart to this stranger girl.
Chunya and Arongbin asked everyone to leave, and then stood guard at the door. Xiao Hechuan also stood outside the door waiting.
Song Qingwan quickly brought the old lady into the space. In order to prevent the old lady from being scared, she used inhalation anesthetics.
After the medicine took effect, Song Qingwan quickly took out the cornea, cleaned and disinfected it, and finally used tweezers to gently place the cornea into the old lady's eyes.
Finally, she took out gauze and wrapped the old lady's eyes. After doing all this, Song Qingwan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After observing for another half an hour, Song Qingwan saw that there was nothing unusual, so she took Old Madam Xiao out of the space.
Chunya and Arong heard the sound coming from inside, pushed the door open and walked in. Chunya immediately stepped forward to support Song Qingwan.
"Miss, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Where's Mr. Xiao?"
"I'm here. Princess, please go to the side room and rest. I've asked the servants to prepare everything."
"Thank you Mr. Xiao for your kindness. I won't go. The old lady will be able to return to normal life in about a month."
Xiao Hechuan couldn't believe his ears. Is it okay now?
"However, the gauze on her eyes needs to be changed frequently, her eyes should not be exposed to water, her diet should be light, and it is best not to shed tears."
Xiao Hechuan called Jixiang to write down everything Song Qingwan had told him, then bowed deeply to Song Qingwan.
"Xiao thanks the princess. The Xiao family is just a lowly merchant family. How could we deserve such a great favor from the princess?"
"Mr. Xiao is a man of great talent, worthy of such treatment from Prince Huai's Palace."
Xiao Hechuan's pupils shrank slightly, and his heart was shocked by these words. This was the first time he heard a superior evaluate him like this.
"Hechuan was terrified. May I ask if the princess could tell me in detail what she said that day?"
"Don't worry, sir, take care of the old lady first and wait until she recovers."
"Thank you for your consideration, Madam. I will arrange for you to go back to the inn to rest."
"Please Mr. Xiao."
Chunya and Arong secretly gave each other a thumbs up, as expected of their princess, this Xiao man was now very respectful.
Song Qingwan returned to the inn and had a good sleep. She had been very tense these past few days and her physical strength and energy were almost exhausted.
"Miss, are we just waiting here for Xiao Hechuan to come?"
"Of course not, Chunya, go call Arong and I'll take you out for a walk."
"Really! Great, I'll go right away!"
Chunya ran out happily. Song Qingwan looked at her and chuckled. This child must be bored.
"Awu."
"I am here, what do you want, princess?"
"You can come with us and see what fun things there are in Jiangnan."
"But the prince asked me to protect the princess in secret."
"Pedant, how can he know whether you are in the light or in the dark when he is not around?"
"Yes"
This Awu is good in every way except that he listens to Zhao Huaijin too much. He is as boring as a robot.
If he gets married in the future, will he still need Zhao Huaijin's instructions before entering the bridal chamber?
On the second day, Song Qingwan took the three of them to stroll around the most prosperous place in Qiantang Prefecture. You wouldn't know until you strolled around that the prosperity of Jiangnan was really not just talk.
The crisscrossing waterways are like a mirror, reflecting the green trees on both sides of the river. The red-tiled stone bridges span across them. People travel through them, take a boat trip, or fish on the shore.
On both sides of the river, there are rows of Jiangnan buildings with white walls, black tiles, flying eaves and corners, and antique style. There are a variety of shops, including teahouses, wine shops, silk shops, antique shops, etc., and the sounds of shouting and bargaining are heard one after another.
The streets are crowded with people, bustling about and jostling each other.
From time to time, young men from wealthy families would ride tall horses, dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes, and parade through the streets in the gaze of the public.
