Episode 158
When I came out, King Zhou was standing there.
“Are you finished?”
Even though quite a bit of time had passed, she remained the same as when she came in.
“Aren’t you cold?”
“You’re probably the only one who worries about me like that.”
King Zhou took off his blood jacket and gently threw it away.
The blood-filled jacket filled with energy flew up like a dandelion seed and landed like snow on Jin Cheon-hee’s shoulder.
It’s her special ability. The force that controls the mass of all objects.
She rarely used it except when fighting, so the fact that she dared to use it meant that she liked the young man in front of her that much.
“Can you show me how to control heat?”
This is King Zhou’s second ability.
The ability to control the heat of objects. That’s why it’s quite surprising that Jin Cheon-hee cares about herself.
Jin Cheon-hee said, tying the warm robe that felt like a hand warmer up to her neck.
“I also learned martial arts, but I don’t always walk light.”
“Hahaha, so does he.”
King Zhou took the first step.
At the subtle signal telling me to follow, I quickly walked a little behind.
“This isn’t the imperial palace, it’s Zhou Wangfu, but aren’t they following the rules of etiquette too much like a sword?”
“If I walk next to you, Yu Langhu will not be able to sleep at night.”
“Hahaha, that’s right. But your guy is also your guy. “Even if you treat me well, I won’t give you a chance.”
It’s still snowing in Juwangbu.
The villagers are worried about clearing the snow tomorrow morning, but the scenery is still pretty, so they are watching the snow fall while forgetting about the roasted chestnuts.
King Zhou also did not say a word to those disputes.
Once you have done what you have to do, you can rest as much as you want.
Isn’t she the one who refused the throne because she didn’t want to be tied down?
Perhaps that’s why I used to hear that King Zhou was more liberal than other kings.
‘They say loyalty is also high because job satisfaction is high.’
How can an ordinary servant use the will of high-ranking people for anything?
As long as I can be safe and feed my family for the rest of my life, that’s enough.
If I were to be a little more greedy here, it would be to live as usual under someone who is not capricious.
King Zhou was a person who gave such things, so his loyalty was high.
‘And lazy.’
Playing games is her life. To put it another way, there is no need for the kids to suddenly get in trouble one day for not cleaning up the dust on the handrail.
Of course, that’s what I’m saying. It’s the king’s job to follow the manual.
However, there was no truly dirty place to be seen.
When it comes to landscaping, it’s Juwangbu.
Because if you drink, you’re a king.
“Did you say you would get a crushing blow?”
“yes.”
King Zhou’s expression softened at Jin Cheon-hee’s answer.
“Anyway, it seems stupid. When I told him that he needed to be treated as quickly as possible, he mumbled as to how to open his stomach. Being stupid makes people worry.”
“Hahaha….”
“Then I guess he took off his mask in front of you?”
“yes?”
Suddenly, words came out of nowhere. King Zhou continued.
“What kind of guy is that? “If he wants to win someone’s heart by giving every bit of it, he’s the kind of guy who swallows it all in one gulp.”
“I didn’t know it was your Majesty.”
“Hmm. “What do you think when you see the Hua Empire going?”
“I just felt like I had to treat patients.”
“…You’re still slipping away like a loach. Anyway, I only learned strange things from Baekrin.”
When King Zhou grumbled, Jin Tianxi laughed awkwardly.
“But I heard that if you don’t draw a line, the imperial family will one day become involved.”
“That is also correct. “The imperial palace is a place that everyone wants but cannot enter, and on the other hand, no matter how much you try to run away, you are caught and tied up like Deukdal.”
King Zhou lowered his eyelashes and was lost in thought for a long time.
Her straight and cool profile resembled her younger sister, Poong Ha-eun.
“Eun looks like me. “I will definitely kill those I don’t like, and I will definitely keep those I like by my side.”
“Which side are you?”
“Whether you like it or not, it doesn’t matter. Even if you don’t like the shadow, can you escape it? “It’s that kind of relationship.”
Which one is the shadow and which one is the person?
Jin Cheon-hee did not ask.
King Zhou asked.
“Is there a risk of death while destroying it?”
“It looks like he will be fine at this stage, but it is difficult to guarantee because his body is very weak.”
“Right. Even if that child dies, the world will not know which Wangya died. “Because that’s his position.”
After thinking about it, King Zhou said this.
“It’s annoying, but I guess it can’t be helped. “Even if I die, I am in a position to take responsibility and take care of the situation so that I will not be shaken.”
Jin Cheon-hee answered.
“…I won’t let you die.”
“As expected, I like you saying that.”
King Zhou put his hand on Jin Cheon-hee’s shoulder and then parted ways.
While returning to the annex.
The mark where King Zhou had grabbed him did not cool down and instead warmed his shoulder.

next day.
Pre-surgery preparations began in earnest.
After checking to see if there were any medications that should not be taken due to anticoagulants, the patient began fasting.
‘It’s definitely an open surgery. ‘I miss laparoscopy.’
Laparoscopy, which uses the power of cameras and machines, is a commonly used surgical method in modern times because the opening position is small, so the patient’s recovery is fast and the burden is low.
However, here, there is no choice but to open the abdomen and examine through open surgery.
‘Instead, the field of view is expanded through an incision, so that is also an advantage, but…’
In surgery, the field of view is only half.
Additionally, since it was after stage 2, it would have been good to detect if the tumor had spread widely.
In the end, it doesn’t mean which surgery is better. The question is which surgery is more suitable.
Ultimately, the standard for determining the stage of cancer is lymph node metastasis.
Even on Earth, the exact number cannot be known until surgery.
After surgery, the possibility of metastasis is determined through various tests, including biopsies.
Still, I’m still dissatisfied that I can’t use modern Iggy.
‘And one more thing. ‘The patient’s quality of life (QOL) must be considered.’
This is the biggest agony of colon cancer surgery.
Bowel function must be maintained moderately.
‘In terms of exhaustion, it looked okay.’
There is one more thing.
‘I can’t do radiation treatment this time either.’
In this era where there is no radiation, we have to grind humans and remove tumors like we did during Sima Hui last time.
After much thought, I finally came to one answer.
‘Even if it was a laparoscopy, I would have had to go for open surgery anyway.’
Even in the early stages, colon cancer often requires open surgery.
* * *
The day of surgery came.
The members of the National Assembly who came with Jin Cheon-hee and the teacher were all in full military gear.
Except for the teacher, everyone knows him only as one of the nameless royals. Nevertheless, they are royal family.
In this world of pyramid hierarchies, there are few things as thrilling as this.
Jin Cheon-hee woke up early in the morning and meditated for a long time.
The current Jin Cheon-hee has far surpassed the skills he had during his prime in his previous life.
It was natural. In a situation where there was no modern equipment, there was no other way to replace it than with human skills.
After finishing meditation, Jin Cheon-hee came outside.
The members of the National Assembly have already perfected their efforts.
It’s always a Hwaseongjin.
The medical room used by medical doctors was temporarily converted into an operating room, and it was usable.
As Jin Cheon-hee was about to enter, the medical doctors of Zhou Wangbu approached.
“So Baekryong.”
They approached Jin Cheon-hee with a worried look on their faces for a long time.
“We all gathered together because we wanted to learn about destruction.”
“Isn’t it decided who will be the witness anyway?”
A medical doctor came from the imperial palace to testify as to whether the surgery was completed successfully.
However, the Zhouwangbu lawmakers shook their heads.
“It’s good just once. “Please help me just once so I can gain insight into the art of medicine.”
Master Baekrin, who was watching this, sent a message.
[Euiui are people who make a living out of pride, but I didn’t know they would abandon that.]
In the past, even when Jin Cheon-hee offered help, they were the ones who showed disapproval.
[If you were a normal Wangya, you would ask for permission and do so if possible, but in your current state, it would be impossible to even ask for permission.]
[Because you are not a normal ‘Wangya’. And even the average Wangya won’t like it. Even though the king is different, isn’t it absurd to be careful about falling leaves?]
[Even though I know that…]
[…Okay. Even though I knew it, I became desperate.]
The doctor said that trust is more important than medical skills.
It is a place where politics and conspiracies run rampant, so it is difficult to find people you can trust, and even if you do, you end up getting swept up in the storms of power countless times.
He said that when it comes to becoming a medical doctor, there are more important things than honing your medical skills.
But there was no way they would have given up their desire to improve.
Because they were also lawmakers.
[Master. I once heard through hearsay that a medical doctor who was good at politics lived longer than a medical doctor with outstanding skills. Is that really true?]
[Human life is a matter of genius, so there are times when even the best doctor cannot treat a patient. That responsibility ultimately flows to a large extent politically.]
Knowing that, they have also been involved in politics.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“Not now. “I won’t even ask the patient.”
The doctors’ eyes were filled with disappointment.
Jin Cheon-hee continued.
“However, I will make a request to His Majesty the King and help create a space where we can exchange medical techniques.”
Medical science in this era is like a special class, and knowledge is only passed down to selected people.
This meant that Baekrin Uigak would help even though it was not a Uigakwon.
When they realized the weight of the proposal, the eyes of the royal doctors trembled.
“So Baekryong….”
“I also have many shortcomings. “I think it will be a good spot.”
Jin Cheon-hee greeted me with her eyes and started a moderate conversation. Then, on the other hand, I said this as a message to my teacher.
[If you’re in a position where you need to be good at politics, it would be better to have them on our side.]
[You’re not hoping that your skills will improve, right?]
[If by doing so, one more person survives, it wouldn’t be that bad.]
[In that case, the subject to be taught would be emergency trauma. .]
[yes. Since it is not a permanent medical center, it may not be possible to transmit in-depth knowledge, but it would be possible to transmit knowledge assuming a time of war. And maybe some treatment for the condition?]
Jegalin’s eyes softly curved at Jin Tianxi’s voice.
[The treatment will require a white phosphorus altar, and Zhou Wangfu will have to purchase it quite expensively.]
It was a natural step for Zhuge Lin to point out that point.
Jin Cheon-hee answered.
[Because we have to pour in more money after returning.]
[Our student would have made a lot of money even if he had started a business. I wish I could earn fame and money at the same time.]
Jin Cheon-hee burst into laughter.
[Shall we stop talking here and then go in?]
The two priests went inside like that.
