Tang Dynasty: The pot is tied to the duck nest, the little rhinoceros is here!

"Mr. Jiang, don't worry, it's just a minor surgery for your aunt. I'll perform it for her myself."

The problem is that her pulmonary artery has become narrowed, and in addition to that... that's what caused your aunt's illness.

Now, when we perform surgery, we'll open up the narrowed section of the blood vessel.

Returning to its normal size allows the lungs to receive enough blood.

The problem of qi stagnation will naturally disappear.

"This is what the expert said to Jiang Fan."

When Empress Zhangsun heard that it meant her blood vessels would be stretched open, she was immediately terrified, her face turning pale with fear.

"Jiang Fan... this... how can this be done? My blood vessels..."

"Auntie, don't be nervous. It's not what you think. Do you think the doctor pulled your blood vessels out of your body, stretched them open, and then put them back in? Is that what you're thinking?"

Empress Zhangsun nodded silently, as if to say, "Isn't that exactly what you're saying?"

Li Lizhi also looked puzzled, wanting to hear a reasonable explanation from Jiang Fan for herself and her mother.

Jiang Fan pulled Empress Zhangsun's hand directly in front of him, pointed to her wrist, and said, "What the doctor means is..."

Jiang Fan then briefly repeated what Expert Xu had said to Empress Zhangsun.

Empress Zhangsun looked completely bewildered as she listened to the unfamiliar vocabulary Jiang Fan used.

I can understand each word individually, but I don't understand them when they're put together.

It's too difficult; it's way beyond my level.

"Don't worry, Auntie, I'll take care of everything."

Seeing Jiang Fan's confident demeanor, Empress Zhangsun felt inexplicably at ease.

If it weren't for Jiang Fan, I wouldn't even know if I could have left Lizheng Hall alive, let alone come to this hospital.

After all, when he fell ill, all the imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau were helpless and could only pray for divine intervention.

Finally, Empress Zhangsun made up her mind and entrusted herself to Jiang Fan, trusting him completely.

"The surgery will take time to arrange, and this requires hospitalization. Let's go and complete the admission procedures first!" Dr. Xu handed the completed admission form to Jiang Fan.

"OK!"

Jiang Fan then went to complete the hospital admission procedures.

For convenience, Jiang Fan requested a VIP ward. Although it was much more expensive, it wasn't much money for Jiang Fan at the moment.

Led by a nurse, Jiang Fan and his group arrived at the VIP ward.

The VIP ward was even bigger and more luxurious than the house Jiang Fan had rented before.

It has everything: air conditioning, TV, bathroom, and refrigerator.

There are two beds in total, one for caregivers and one for patients.

It also has a dedicated nurse.

"Mr. Jiang, this is a hospital gown. Please help the patient change into it. The patient will need an IV drip in an hour, and Dr. Xu will schedule surgery for the patient at 4 PM this afternoon."

After Jiang Fan took the hospital gown from the nurse, he said a few words to her, and she left immediately.

Jiang Fan handed the clothes to Li Lizhi: "The patient is hospitalized for surgery."

Everyone needs to change into hospital gowns. Lizhi, take the clothes to your aunt to change into!

"Mother, Brother Fan said you should change into this dress." Li Lizhi had just finished speaking.

Little Sizi immediately noticed the problem and cried out in her childish voice:

"Sister, you're so silly! You have to call me 'Mommy'! You've changed so much!"

Li Lizhi said shyly, "Brother Fan, I... I called you the wrong name!"

"It's okay, it's okay, just be careful next time. Sizi, let's go for a walk outside!" Jiang Fan said quickly, afraid that Sizi would cause trouble.

"Honey, I don't want to go! I want to wear a hospital gown too!"

After hearing what Xiao Sizi said, Jiang Fan was almost speechless with shock.

Jiang Fan looked at Xiao Sizi with a blank expression: "Sizi, what did you say?"

You... want to wear a hospital gown? You're not even going to the hospital, why would you need a hospital gown?

"If Mom wears it, I want to wear it too; I want my bed to be just like Mom's!"

"That won't do. These hospital gowns are only for patients. Besides..."

"These hospital gowns don't even have your size. They're for adults, so a little kid like you shouldn't try to fit in."

"What if that family wants to wear it?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan's eyes lit up. He bent down and whispered a few words in Xiao Sizi's ear. Xiao Sizi immediately grabbed Jiang Fan and ran outside.

It seemed like Jiang Fan had no choice but to leave; they had to take him away.

Inside the ward, Li Lizhi and Empress Zhangsun, mother and daughter, looked at each other.

It seemed they were trying to discern from the other's eyes what Jiang Fan had said that had caused such a drastic change in Si Zi.

Once outside, Little Sizi immediately asked in her childish voice, "Brother, where's the good stuff?"

"Hehe! Just follow me." Jiang Fan led Xiao Sizi forward. Jiang Fan didn't use any other methods, he just told Xiao Sizi that there would be meat to eat. As a foodie, Xiao Sizi couldn't resist meat.

Of course, Jiang Fan didn't lie to Xiao Sizi; the VIP ward provided three meals a day, including not only patient meals.

There are also meals for caregivers. Although a nurse will deliver them, you can pick them up yourself and have more choices.

They soon arrived at the hospital's cafeteria. By the time Jiang Fan and his little dumpling were in line...

Little Sizi's adorable appearance instantly attracted everyone's attention.

An older female nurse said, "This child is so cute! Can I hold him/her?"

Little Sizi smiled and said, two shallow dimples on her face:

"I'm a big kid now, I don't need Auntie to carry me anymore, thank you Auntie (*^__^*) hehe..."

She politely declined the aunt's offer without offending her; it must be said, Xiao Sizi's little mouth is really good at talking.

Empress Zhangsun's upbringing was truly excellent; one can see this simply from how little Sizi spoke to strangers.

Just then, it was finally Jiang Fan's turn in the food line. "Sizi, look, it's our turn to choose our food! What do you want to eat?"

Little Sizi looked at the various dishes and delicacies on the food cart.

I instantly felt like my eyes couldn't keep up.

There are too many, so many that I don't even know which one to choose.

"Hey bro, can we take all the good stuff from the car?"

Jiang Fan: "..." Si Zi, is it appropriate for you to say that? There are so many people queuing up to buy food, and you're just going to take their pots away?

The people queuing behind them were also amused by Xiao Sizi's words.

With Xiao Sizi's chubby and adorable appearance, saying such outrageous things actually brought a bit of laughter.

In the end, I made the decision and took five dishes. Of course, bringing Xiao Sizi along was a big advantage.

Aside from Empress Zhangsun having to eat the patients' meals, every meal was packed with meat.

Then Jiang Fan took the satisfied little Sizi directly to the private ward where Empress Zhangsun was staying.

At this time, Empress Zhangsun had already changed her clothes. Jiang Fan brought a boxed lunch to the ward. The group had just finished eating when the nurse who was giving them an IV drip arrived.
