After the twenty strokes of the cane, the Third Prince's face was completely bloodless, and Mu Xue's heart tightened when she saw it.
The Third Prince raised his head, held her hand back, and whispered, "I'm fine, Princess, don't worry."
The emperor waved his hand to let the executioner withdraw and looked at Doctor Lin who was still standing there in a daze.
"Doctor Lin, please take a quick look at the Third Prince's injuries."
Doctor Lin: “…”
Why beat him and then ask him to treat the wound?
Maybe the emperor felt that he was too idle recently, so he found something for him to do.
While thinking this in his mind, he quickly agreed and moved forward swiftly to check on the Third Prince's injuries.
Just as he raised his hand to touch the third prince's robe stuck on his back, the emperor's voice rang out again.
"Alright, you're so clumsy that you've hurt the Third Prince."
Doctor Lin: “…”
What do you mean he hurt the Third Prince? He just put his hand on it and hasn't moved yet. How could the Emperor wrongly accuse him?
Besides, the Third Prince didn’t even cry out in pain when he was beaten with a stick just now.
Mu Xue was just about to say that she would do it herself, but the emperor got there first.
"Princess, I'm sorry to trouble you with the third brother's injury."
As he said this, he ordered someone to help the third prince to Fengya Palace, which was closest to the imperial study.
Doctor Lin looked at the Third Prince being helped away, and instantly understood that the Emperor wanted the princess to take care of the Third Prince.
"There's nothing for you to do now, go back."
Doctor Lin retracted his gaze and said, "Yes, I will take my leave."
The emperor sent the others away and found that Yu Yiluo had also happily followed them away.
"Your Majesty, next time you want to help these two, could you please let me know first? Otherwise, I will be caught off guard."
"Isn't this a good match?"
The emperor raised an eyebrow.
Concubine De: “…”
…
Yu Yiluo followed a few people to the side hall and stood obediently aside, watching Mu Xue order people to get hot water, bandages, scissors and other things.
After bringing the things over, Mu Xue noticed her standing next to her and said softly, "Little Princess, the injuries on His Highness' body are probably very scary. Can you go play in the front?"
Yu Yiluo shook her head and said in a baby voice, "Don't be afraid, I'll accompany... you...."
After saying that, he stepped forward and held the Third Prince's hand, sighing inwardly.
[With such a serious injury, the heroine will have to take care of him for ten days or half a month. Third brother, you must seize the opportunity.]
Seeing that she was unwilling to leave, Mu Xue picked up the scissors and said, "Then little princess, please don't look at His Highness's injuries, okay?"
"good."
The third prince lay on the couch. Mu Xue carefully used a pair of scissors to cut open the clothes on his back, then took a handkerchief dipped in warm water and wiped the blood off his back.
While wiping, he asked the third prince if it hurt.
In fact, the third prince did not feel any pain, because his senses were all on Mu Xue's moving hands, and Mu Xue's hands were particularly light.
After wiping the blood off her back, Mu Xue looked at the new and old wounds on the Third Prince's back, and tried her best to sound normal.
"Why does Your Highness have so many wounds on his back?"
"It's from my childhood," the Third Prince said casually, "It's all in the past."
Yu Yiluo looked at the wounds on her back and felt a little numb on her back.
He must have hit her very hard, otherwise there wouldn't be such an obvious scar.
Mu Xue didn't say anything. She took out the golden medicine she was carrying and sprinkled it carefully on the wound. She also took out a bandage and carefully wrapped the wound of the third prince.
After his injuries were treated, the Third Prince's face was already red.
When Mu Xue was bandaging her, her hand accidentally brushed against his chest. They were close to each other, and her breath sprayed near his ear, making him feel uncomfortable.
"No, I just applied some medicine. Why are you blushing, Third Brother? If we really get married, we'll have to sleep in separate rooms to avoid being embarrassed."
The Third Prince: “…”
[The Third Prince must be thinking about something messy in his head. Look at his face getting even redder.]
Mu Xue asked someone to take the things away and bring new clothes for the third prince.
"Your Highness, your clothes are no longer wearable. Please wear this new one."
"I can do it myself."
The third prince reached out to take his clothes, but Mu Xue did not give them to him. Instead, she looked at his flushed face, frowned slightly, and reached out to touch his smooth forehead.
"Does Your Highness have a fever?"
Yu Yiluo let go of the Third Prince's hand and laughed in her heart.
[Third brother does have a fever, but this fever is different from that one.]
The third prince only felt Mu Xue's soft hand touching his forehead, and the fragrance of her body lingered at the tip of his nose. He leaned back in a panic.
"No, it's probably because the room is too hot."
Mu Xue looked at the empty room and the Third Prince's naked back with some suspicion. She put her hand on his forehead again to confirm and then on her own forehead.
"I was too slow just now and caused Your Highness to catch a cold."
The third prince wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to start. Should he say that he blushed because he smelled her fragrance?
The princess would probably think he was a scoundrel.
【Why do they all blush so easily?】
Seeing that the third prince didn't want to explain, Yu Yiluo decided to help him.
Having made up her mind, Yu Yiluo raised her hand and tugged at Mu Xue's sleeve, looking up at her.
"What's wrong?"
Mu Xue squatted down and asked in confusion.
Yu Yiluo leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Shame on you."
Mu Xue was stunned at first, then suddenly realized, glanced at the third prince, and raised the corner of her mouth.
The third prince didn’t know what Yu Yiluo and Mu Xue had said, and Mu Xue didn’t continue talking about it. She just stood up and took the clothes to help him put them on.
"Let me do it."
[Why are you trying to be so strong right now? Isn't it better to pretend to be weak? Ziyang should really learn from Afeng. That way, if the superiors are not understanding, the subordinates can help out with some ideas.]
"Then Your Highness, please come by yourself."
Mu Xue gave him the clothes and stood aside watching.
The third prince took the clothes and although it was a bit difficult, he finally put them on.
"I'll have someone send some lighter meals to His Highness."
Soon, the light meal was served. Mu Xue helped the third prince sit on a round stool and handed him the porridge.
The third prince stretched out his hand, but halfway through he hissed.
Mu Xue brought the porridge back and said, "Let me feed His Highness."
[You were able to put on clothes just now, but now you can’t drink porridge? ]
[Third brother, you are really not afraid of being exposed.]
"Thank you, Princess. I think I pulled the wound when I was putting on my clothes. It hurts a little now."
Zi Yang, who came in with a charcoal brazier, curled his lips.
His Highness punished him yesterday, and he thought His Highness really didn't care, but now he uses it so skillfully.
The Third Prince's injuries recovered a lot in seven days. Yu Yiluo came here every day and watched the Third Prince act weak in front of Mu Xue. She felt embarrassed for others as she watched from the side.
At first, the Third Prince still felt a little ashamed, especially when Yu Yiluo was making up stories in his mind. But when he saw Mu Xue's concerned look, he put aside the so-called shame.
