After everything was settled, Qi Yue immediately had Li Qiaoniang clear out everyone from the room and close the door, then instructed her to stand guard outside and forbid anyone from approaching.
Li Qiaoniang agreed to risk her life to keep the door from being opened.
However, Qi Yue was still not reassured and went into the inner room to lift a large wardrobe, firmly blocking the door with it.
This scene left Shen Zikuang terrified, mouth agape in a perfect circle.
But before he could speak, Qi Yue stuffed a pill into his mouth.
He soon fell into a deep sleep, knowing nothing.
The surgery on Shen Zikuang was conducted inside a special room.
Even with a little assistant's help, it took Qi Yue a full three shichen to piece together his shattered bones.
Fortunately, the injury was recent and the tendons were not severely damaged; as long as the bones healed, he would be able to walk again.
