Chapter 43 Qingfeng Asks for Medicine

As for what Qingfeng had said to Doctor Wang, he certainly wouldn't tell anyone else. If it weren't for his master, he wouldn't do such a thing even if he died. He had been with the young prince for a long time, so he naturally knew his master's feelings for Qingyi. Compared to others, Qingfeng knew his master better and understood him better. In this respect, even Mingyue couldn't match him, and even Qingyi might not be able to match him.

The young prince is naturally indifferent, exuding an aura that keeps strangers away. He lost his mother at a young age. Although the prince dotes on him, he is solely focused on ensuring his upbringing follows his own plans, never once considering his true inner desires. The young prince is also extremely sensible, having grown up according to the King of Northwest's expectations. The only two unforeseen events in his life were Mingyue drugging him and Qingyi's sudden arrival.

After Qingfeng prepared the things needed for the little prince to bathe, he left. He arranged the meal and thought that the little prince was sick and needed some medicine. He couldn't just hold on like this, so he went to the Imperial Hospital.

"Doctor Wang, are you still on duty today?" Qingfeng and Doctor Wang had met several times and knew each other.

When Doctor Wang saw that it was Qingfeng, the guard commander of the young prince of the northwest, he quickly put down the herbs he was sorting and stood up to greet him, "Master Qingfeng, what can I do for you?"

"The young prince caught a cold while bathing last night and has a slight fever. I would like to ask the Imperial Physician Wang to prescribe some fever-reducing medicine." Qingfeng stated his purpose.

"Ah, is the young prince ill? I'll pack up and go take his pulse." Doctor Wang said as he turned to get his medicine box. Everyone in the palace knew the status of the young prince of the northwest, and he couldn't be neglected!

"Doctor Wang, you just need to prescribe some medicine. The young prince does not want to alarm the emperor. If you go there, I'm afraid the emperor will know about it." Qingfeng hurriedly stopped Doctor Wang.

"This..." Doctor Wang was in a dilemma. If he didn't go, it would be like he was neglecting the young prince, and the emperor would definitely blame him when he found out in the future; if he went, it would go against Lord Qingfeng's wishes. After all, the pulse diagnosis results of the palace doctors were recorded in a book, and it would be difficult to hide it from the emperor.

"Just prescribing some medicine will be enough." Qingfeng insisted.

"Okay." Doctor Wang had no choice but to follow Qingfeng's instructions and go to get the medicine himself.

"Lord Qingfeng, this herb needs to be boiled for an hour. Once it's done, I'll have someone deliver it to the young prince." Doctor Wang said.

"Thank you, Doctor Wang." Qingfeng bowed to express his gratitude and was about to leave when the maid from the Queen's palace came and said that Doctor Wang had done a good job of taking the Queen's pulse yesterday, and the Queen specially rewarded Doctor Wang with a box of lotus root powder and cinnamon sugar cake.

Seeing that Doctor Wang had already begun to boil the medicine, Qingfeng decided not to stay any longer. As he stepped out of the Imperial Hospital, he bumped into a young eunuch who had hurried in. The eunuch was in such a hurry that he almost bumped into Qingfeng. Without even looking up, he started cursing, "Who are you? You're walking with your eyes closed!"

Qingfeng dodged the collision with a flick of his wrist. The two didn't actually collide, it was just a false alarm. Qingfeng thought to himself, this little eunuch has quite a temper.

"Xiao Yuezi, you dare to be so presumptuous without even looking at who it is!" Doctor Wang saw this and quickly scolded him.

Only then did Xiao Yuezi look up and see that the person before him was no ordinary eunuch, but Lord Qingfeng, the commander of the guards of the young prince of the Northwest. He was so frightened that he quickly knelt and apologized, "Oh, I am so blind and have offended Lord Qingfeng. I hope you will forgive me."

Qingfeng knew the habits of these servants well, always bullying the weak and fearing the strong, so he didn't bother with him, waved his hand for him to stand up, and turned around to walk out of the Imperial Hospital. However, after taking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something and turned back, just in time to overhear the conversation between Doctor Wang and Xiao Yuezi.

"Xiao Yuezi, why are you here?" asked Imperial Physician Wang. Xiao Yuezi was a member of the Imperial Concubine Chen's family, and Empress Chen was the Third Prince's biological mother. Xiao Yuezi must have come to run errands for the Third Prince, who had already left the palace and established his own residence.

"Doctor Wang, the Third Prince wants to ask you for some Lingxiao ointment." Xiao Yuezi said in a low voice, but Qingfeng had excellent hearing and heard it clearly.

"Didn't you just take a bottle a while ago? How come it's used up so quickly?" Doctor Wang frowned slightly, feeling a little reluctant.

"Hehe, the third prince used it and kept praising you. This thing is amazing!!" Xiao Yuezi said flatteringly with a smile on his face.

"Of course! This Lingxiao ointment not only reduces inflammation and relieves pain, but also lubricates and regenerates tissue. Even the emperor and the empress are using it." Doctor Wang looked proud, his words full of complacency.

"Doctor Wang, this is a small gift from the Third Prince," Xiao Yuezi said, pulling out a heavy bag. Qingfeng guessed it must contain gold, silver, or other valuables. He couldn't help but wonder what kind of precious gift could be presented to the physician personally by the prince? So, he quietly approached, wanting to find out.

"Oh, the Third Prince is so polite. You can take two bottles to honor the Third Prince. I heard that the Third Prince has a son, so he will probably use it faster! This thing of mine will have more benefits if used on a man's private parts." Doctor Wang was delighted when he saw this and couldn't help but boast.

"Thank you, Doctor Wang!" Xiao Yuezi quickly stepped forward to take the small porcelain bottle from the box, and asked with a smile on his face, "Doctor Wang, could you give me a bottle? Let me also enjoy the blessing."

"This is something that couples use to enjoy in bed. What use does a little eunuch like you have for it? Wouldn't it be a waste to give you such a precious thing? Could it be that a servant like you also plays with these in the palace?" Doctor Wang scolded with a smile, with a hint of sarcasm in his words.

"Hahahaha, I'm just talking. I wouldn't dare to do it even if you gave me the courage. Please don't blame me, Doctor Wang." Xiao Yuezi smiled mischievously, took the things and left in a hurry.

Seeing Xiao Yuezi leave, Qingfeng dodged and hid. After he was far away, Qingfeng deliberately stepped heavily so that Doctor Wang could hear his return.

"Lord Qingfeng, why are you back? Is there something wrong?" Doctor Wang was directing people to make medicine for the young prince. Seeing Qingfeng coming back, he couldn't help but ask.

"I just remembered that the young prince has always been resistant to drinking bitter medicine. I wonder whether the medicine prepared by Doctor Wang is bitter or sweet?" Qingfeng asked solemnly.

"This..." Doctor Wang was speechless for a moment. How could medicine not be bitter? He really didn't know how to answer.

"Just now I saw the Empress reward Doctor Wang with a box of lotus root starch and cinnamon sugar cakes. The young prince once mentioned that the lotus root starch and cinnamon sugar cakes made in the small kitchen of the Empress's palace are sweet and delicious. It wouldn't be difficult for the young prince to get them from the Empress, but I'm afraid that the Empress will worry about the young prince's health if she finds out, and then let the Emperor know..." Qingfeng said it calmly, but if Qingqing or Qingyi were here, they would be surprised that this guy who usually saves words like gold would say so many polite words today.
