"Why did you do this? Didn't you foresee this consequence when you hit Jinghe?" Ye Jingchen said while applying medicine to Xie Chang'an's wound.

"Your Highness is truly a loving older brother. Even if that little madman provoked me first, even if my injuries are ten times worse than his, does Your Highness still think it's my fault?!" Xie Chang'an looked coldly at Ye Jingchen and said self-deprecatingly.

"I'm clearly concerned about you, why do you always misinterpret my meaning?" Ye Jingchen said indignantly.

If Xie Chang'an hadn't been so badly injured, he would have definitely taken advantage of the opportunity to apply medicine to make Xie Chang'an's injuries even worse!

"Who cares about your concern?!" Xie Chang'an sneered.

But that cold snort changed its tone at the end.

There was a deep scar a little below his abdomen. Even though he was arguing with Xie Chang'an, Ye Jingchen tried to be as gentle as possible when applying the medicine, worried about hurting Xie Chang'an.

That spot was already somewhat sensitive. Ever since Ye Jingchen applied the medicine, there had been a faint itch. When he touched that spot, it was amplified countless times, completely overriding the pain and penetrating Xie Chang'an's body.

"That's enough! I can do it myself!" Xie Chang'an grabbed Ye Jingchen's hand.

"You're not thinking of going back on your word and not giving me the ointment, are you?" Ye Jingchen looked at him warily.

"No, I won't, go back on my word!" Xie Chang'an said through gritted teeth, enunciating each word clearly.

"But the wounds on the front have already been treated. Are you sure you want to treat the wounds on your back yourself?" Ye Jingchen asked with a strange expression.

Xie Chang'an: ......

Xie Chang'an released his grip, his face stiff, and urged, "Then hurry up!"

"You're really ungrateful! I'm being so careful because of you!" Ye Jingchen said, moving behind Xie Chang'an to continue applying the medicine.

It looks worse from behind than from the front.

Xie Chang'an's statement that his son was "ten times worse off than Ye Jinghe" was absolutely true!

"Hurry up, it's so cold, are you deliberately dawdling to make me sick?"

Feeling the hand applying medicine behind his back was still very gentle, Xie Chang'an urged him in a cold voice.

Ye Jingchen was so angry he laughed.

"Xie Chang'an, you asked for this!" he said, scooping out a large dollop of ointment and applying it from head to tail along the wound in one smooth motion.

Xie Chang'an's body trembled a few times from the pain, but he gritted his teeth and didn't utter a sound.

The intense pain instantly dispelled the itching in his body, and that strange feeling finally disappeared.

Although the wound was very painful, Xie Chang'an breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

"Keep going!" he said through gritted teeth.

Ye Jingchen thought to himself, "If he ever feels sorry for Xie Chang'an again, he's a dog!"

I applied the same medicine to the other wounds on Xie Chang'an's back, and it didn't even take half a minute.

Xie Chang'an's face was so pale from the pain that it looked even worse than before the medicine was applied.

"Is there anywhere else that needs ointment?" Ye Jingchen asked, staring at Xie Chang'an's lower body with ill intent.

"I'll handle the rest myself, you're not needed!" Xie Chang'an quickly said.

"If I don't need it, I don't need it. What about my payment?" Ye Jingchen reached out to Xie Chang'an.

"Go get it from the hidden compartment on the bed," Xie Chang'an said.

Ye Jingchen handed the nearly half-used bottle of ointment to Xie Chang'an, then walked to Xie Chang'an's bedside, opened the hidden compartment, and sure enough, there was another identical porcelain bottle inside.

He picked up the porcelain bottle, weighed it in his hand, opened it to take a look, and only after confirming that it was the ointment and that there was a whole bottle of it did he put the ointment into his sleeve with satisfaction.

"I'm leaving—" He waved to Xie Chang'an, took a few steps, looked back and saw Xie Chang'an standing there without moving, then returned to Xie Chang'an's side and teased, "If you're going to help someone, then help them to the end, young master Xie. Do you need me to help you put your clothes on?"

"No, we don't need to!" Xie Chang'an said with a dark face.

"They really don't know what's good for them!" Ye Jingchen muttered as he left the inner room.

After Ye Jingchen left, Xie Chang'an placed the ointment on the cabinet, picked up his undergarment and put it on, then lifted his trousers and applied the ointment to his legs.

He also had several scars on both legs.

There was another injury on his buttock. Xie Chang'an gritted his teeth and used his hands to apply medicine to it before lying back down on the bed.

In another day, Ye Jinghe will go to pay his respects to the emperor. A day later, the scar on his face should still be there, but it will be very faint. The emperor may or may not ask about it.

If he asks, that's his chance; if he doesn't, he can look for another opportunity next time!

"Little Chang'an, do you need your father to apply the medicine for you?" A short while later, Xie Shaoling arrived uninvited and asked with a smile.

If it weren't for the pressure of filial piety, Xie Chang'an would definitely have told him to get lost!

"No, no need! Who gave me all these injuries?" Xie Chang'an said through gritted teeth.

If his father hadn't interfered, would he have been so badly injured?

"I was very careful when I made my move. Your injuries will heal in three to five days with Mr. Li's ointment. You hit the prince first, surely you can't even withstand this little bit of physical pain?" Xie Shaoling said nonchalantly.

"He wants to kill me, so am I not allowed to fight back?" Xie Chang'an sneered.

"Didn't I not stop you from fighting back? It's just that our statuses are different. Since you fought back, you have to pay a little price! Didn't I also stop the Fifth Prince from hurting you with his sword?" Xie Shaoling said with some pride.
