Chapter 306 Good Fortune is Yet to Come
Wen Zhi stepped forward and opened the door. Shi Lang, dressed in a green bamboo-patterned long robe, was standing hesitantly at the door, carrying a small medicine box on his back.
"Juro, come in."
Shiro nodded slightly to Wen Zhi, then stepped inside. Upon seeing Lin Changning, he strode forward nervously.
"Sixth Brother, where are you hurt? Let me take a look."
Lin Changning smiled gently at Shilang and reassured him, "There was an arrow wound on your shoulder, but it has scabbed over and is almost healed. Don't worry, Tenth Brother."
Despite Lin Changning's words, Shilang still dared not let his guard down and directly grabbed Lin Changning's wrist to take his pulse.
Hearing this, it was not appropriate to keep Lin Changning any longer. Shilang and Xiaoliu were relatives, and they probably had something else to say to each other. Shilang had already started taking Lin Changning's pulse.
Hearing this, Zhiqi tugged at him and said, "Xiao Liu, it's getting late. The shopkeeper will bring the food up in a bit. Have some food and then rest. We'll head out now."
Lin Changning was about to get up to see the two off when Wen Zhi pressed him down: "Get medical attention first. You must be tired from the journey. We're all brothers, no need to be so polite."
Zhiqi raised an eyebrow: "Rest early today, and we'll go back to Taiyuan after a half-day rest tomorrow. Take good care of your injury. You've got good luck ahead of you, kid."
Hearing this, Lin Changning smiled and nodded: "Get some rest."
Lin Changning hummed in agreement, waved to the two of them, propped his head up on the table, and saw them out, closing the door behind him.
Shiro checked Lin Changning's pulse and, after confirming that Lin's injuries were not serious, breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's not a big problem, but it's best not to use your injured hand these days, otherwise the wound will reopen and cause trouble. I'll leave you some pills. Take them with water after dinner tonight. There are a few side effects; you might be a bit sleepy for the next couple of days."
Lin Changning frowned slightly: "Are there any without side effects?"
The excessive sleepiness is not good. Although we have now arrived at Panchuan and the male protagonist is still tied up, who knows what kind of trouble this person will cause later?
It's best to keep a close eye on her at all times. If the male lead's halo suddenly appears while she's asleep and unaware, that would be quite troublesome.
Shilang was somewhat confused: "We've been escorted all this way, so it shouldn't be a problem for Sixth Brother to rest."
Lin Changning shook his head, looking somewhat displeased: "The person I brought back is a bit troublesome. I think I need to keep an eye on him all the time."
Shilang looked at Lin Changning with an even stranger expression: "Sixth Brother, have you forgotten that I am a doctor? This is not difficult. Just give him a dose of medicine. One dose will make him sleep for a day. I guarantee that he will not wake up before we reach Taiyuan."
Lin Changning clicked his tongue a few times, looking at Shilang with a complicated expression: "Tenth brother, you?"
A shy smile appeared on Shiro's youthful face: "After all, I have entered the royal palace, and my master has taught me many things. Naturally, I can no longer be as naive as before."
Lin Changning suddenly laughed: "This is a good thing. Only by having a plan in mind can one live a peaceful life in the Prince's mansion."
Shilang blushed slightly on his handsome face: "The Prince's mansion isn't as treacherous as Sixth Brother thinks. Most people there are good. My master told me some things and taught me some methods, but it's just to be on the safe side. After all, he's the physician in the mansion, so it's always good to be cautious."
Lin Changning nodded: "Tenth Brother is absolutely right."
After taking Lin Changning's pulse, the two chatted for a while, just as the waiter outside brought in some food.
"Sir, your dishes are all ready."
As Lin Changning was about to get up, Shilang pressed him back down. Shilang opened the door, took the food box, and laid out the dishes for Lin Changning on the table. After closing the door, he said, "It's late, Sixth Brother. Take off your clothes and go to bed. I'll put some medicine on your wound and then I'll leave. Try not to let the wound get wet when you take a bath tonight."
Lin Changning looked at the increasingly mature Shilang and politely declined, saying, "It's alright, I can do it myself. The wound is only on my shoulder, I can manage on my own."
After thinking for a moment, Shiro replied, "Alright, I'll leave the plaster here for you. Remember to use it every day recently, otherwise the wound might leave a scar."
Lin Changning shrugged: "Whether it leaves a scar or not doesn't matter."
Shiro looked at Lin Changning with a strange expression, then sat down and said in a low voice, "I've also made some pills to delay that. You only need to take them once every three months."
Lin Changning immediately understood what Shilang was talking about, nodded and said, "Then save it for me, I'll take both medicines together later."
Shilang responded and handed several small porcelain bottles from the medicine box to Lin Changning: "Okay, Sixth Brother, I'll go back and brew a pot of medicine to make someone fall asleep. Where is that person? I'll force-feed it to them later."
Lin Changning took the porcelain bottle and found that Shilang had stuck a note on it, clearly stating what it was for. When Shilang asked him, he raised his head slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Wan Jin should have taken the person away and locked him up. Go and ask Wan Jin."
Shilang nodded: "Okay, I'll be right there. Sixth Brother, after you finish your meal, take your medicine and get some rest."
Lin Changning smiled and waved to the person, indicating that he understood.
After Shiro went out and closed the door, he went straight to look for Wan Jin.
Actually, he didn't need to come this time. He was worried about his sixth brother, but more importantly, he wanted to maintain the family bond between the two of them.
Besides revealing his identity as Sixth Brother, he told his grandfather everything that had happened from Daxing to Taiyuan. His grandfather said that Sixth Brother was no ordinary person. The two of them had supported each other all the way to the border and had developed a deep bond. He shouldn't waste this friendship, so the better he treated Sixth Brother, the better his future would be.
He understood these words without his grandfather's prompting. Not to mention that when he was sent to the border, if it weren't for his sixth brother giving him a spot to accompany him, his small frame would probably not have survived the first war in the army.
Therefore, Sixth Brother should have owed him a life-saving favor.
Furthermore, he had watched his sixth brother rise through the ranks from Daxing to Taiyuan, from an unknown soldier to a commander of the Chu Prince's mansion in just over a year.
Undoubtedly, Sixth Brother is exceptionally capable and a strong leader. He was well-liked during the Daxing era, and despite his young age, he commanded great respect in the army.
Now it goes without saying that, even though he is only the physician in the manor, he understands how great the merit of rescuing the princess is. To put it bluntly, Sixth Brother has definitely won the prince's heart.
The merit of rescuing the princess alone is enough to ensure Sixth Brother's smooth career in the future.
Although he was not good at studying, he was fortunate enough to learn medicine well under the pressure of his grandfather since childhood. The two of them are now serving the Prince's Mansion, which can be considered as complementing each other.
Thinking of this, a dark glint flashed in Shiro's eyes. He took out a silver needle from his pocket and walked straight towards Wan Jin's room.
Sixth Brother felt it was a bit tricky. Since it required someone to keep an eye on it, he couldn't be careless. In addition to medicine, adding acupuncture might be safer.
