Chapter 53 The Prince is Injured



After talking for a long time, Jiang Muyu felt a little thirsty. Just as he sat down and took a sip of tea, someone ran in from outside.

It was the sword-carrying guard who was accompanying us. He rushed into the house and shouted, "Madam, Madam, something bad has happened!"

Jiang Muyu was startled, and the tea that she hadn't had time to swallow got stuck in her throat, making her cough repeatedly.

Seeing this, Yun Xuan quickly came over and patted her on the back to calm her down. He turned to look at the guard and scolded him, "What are the rules of the palace? Can you bear to disturb the master so rashly?!"

The guard knelt on one knee and bowed, saying, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I have something very important to report."

Jiang Muyu was speechless for a moment and waved his hands.

Yun Xuan said: "Tell me what's going on. If it's not urgent, you'll be punished later."

The guard said: "The prince is injured!"

"What?" Yun Xuan's eyes widened, and he forgot to give Jiang Muyu a break. He rushed over and asked, "Say it again."

"Just now a servant from the palace came to report that the prince was seriously injured, and he is currently asking the palace physician to see him."

Jiang Muyu stood up suddenly, his face still red from coughing and swallowing water, and his voice was a little hoarse, "Yun Xuan, quickly arrange a carriage to return home immediately."

"Yes!" Yun Xuan was anxious and hurried to call Yun Yan and Yun Shan.

Jiang Muyu didn't have time to care about the things around him. He took Tangtang and Nanxing, casually put on a cloak and went out.

The group hurriedly got on the carriage and rushed back to the capital. The journey that originally took half a day was shortened to two hours.

It was already past midnight when we arrived at the palace.

Nanxing had a premonition that something had happened, so she didn't ask too many questions along the way. As soon as she got off the carriage, she took the initiative to offer to take Tangtang downstairs to rest.

Tangtang was already fast asleep, and Jiang Muyu didn't want the child to see the bad scene, so he asked Yunyan to take them to Liang Jinghe's Zizhuyuan to sleep.

After making the arrangements, she immediately went to Qingyuyuan.

At this time, the lights in Qingyu Courtyard were on, and there was a circle of guards surrounding the courtyard. Maids and servants were coming in and out of the courtyard. A basin of clear water went in and a basin of blood came out.

Seeing this, Jiang Muyu's legs couldn't help but tremble. She didn't know whether Liang Qingchen in the book was injured during this period. She could only pray that he was not seriously injured.

When she entered the inner room, the strong smell of blood hit her nose, making her frown.

The doctors sent from the palace were standing around treating the wounds, while Liang Qingchen was lying on his side on the flat couch in the middle, his clothes stripped down to only a pair of underpants, his body and legs were covered with wounds, and three doctors were clearing things out of his wounds bit by bit.

Jiang Muyu saw them using tweezers to take out tiny, almost transparent pieces that looked like glass shards.

She took a deep breath. Something so small and hard to find was stuck in her body. With today's underdeveloped medical technology, it would be a difficult and painful process to remove it completely.

The anesthetic is not very effective now. Liang Qingchen's veins are bulging with pain, which is particularly evident through his fair skin. Xu Lang, who is standing by, feels distressed and wipes the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief from time to time.

Jiang Muyu walked forward, took the handkerchief from Xu Lang's hand, and said, "Let me do it."

When Xu Lang saw her, he was stunned for a moment, "My Queen, you are back."

"It took me two hours to get here from the manor, why are you still treating your wounds?"

Xu Lang said, "The wounds on the prince's body are numerous and small, and the fragments are hard to find. Doctor Yu was very careful and meticulous, not wanting to make any mistakes, so it took a while, but it was done soon. The wounds on the prince's back and legs have been treated."

"Hmm." She glanced at the basin beside her and said, "Go get a basin of warm water."

"Yes." Xu Lang quickly picked up the basin and went out.

The doctors saw her and wanted to speak, but she stopped them, "Just keep going and leave me alone."

A few people nodded as a greeting and continued to work on the things at hand.

Jiang Muyu looked at Liang Qingchen like this, and it would be a lie to say he didn't feel sorry for her. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into the flesh.

Jiang Muyu stroked the back of his hand, gently and slowly pried open his fingers one by one, and coaxed softly: "Liang Qingchen, relax."

Liang Qingchen was in a daze at this time, and could not quite tell who was next to him. He just felt something soft touching his fingers and heard Wu Nong's soft voice in his ears, and he gradually relaxed.

After a lot of effort, Jiang Muyu finally opened his palm. Seeing the bloody palm, her heart ached. She took a handkerchief to wipe off the blood bit by bit, and asked Xu Lang to bring gauze to wrap his palm.

She had just tied a knot in the gauze when he seemed to sense that she was about to leave and suddenly grabbed her wrist tightly. She tried to pull away, but he held on even tighter.

Jiang Muyu was afraid that if she used too much force she would hurt him, so she had to let him hold her.

Xu Lang took the bloody handkerchief from her hand and replaced it with a new one for her.

Jiang Muyu wiped the sweat off Liang Qingchen's forehead with a handkerchief. She stood behind him and had to bend down to reach his front. The closer she got, the clearer she could see his trembling eyelashes and pale face, even the bloodshot on his face.

"He must be in pain," she thought.

But she couldn't do anything to help him except wipe the sweat off his face.

Yun Xuan came in at this time, holding a medicine box in her hand, and said, "I may be able to relieve the pain of the prince with acupuncture."

The leading doctor, Wu Yu, looked at her and frowned, "Little girl, acupuncture is very risky. The prince's body won't allow you to mess around."

Yun Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "I once studied under Wang Hebai."

Doctor Wu Yu was stunned for a moment, then looked at the other two doctors.

One of them said, "The divine doctor's use of the silver needle is truly amazing, why not let her have a try?"

Another person said: "This matter should be decided by the princess."

Jiang Muyu looked at Liang Qingchen's expression, then looked at Yun Xuan: "How confident are you?"

Yun Xuan said: "Eighty percent."

Jiang Muyu nodded, "Okay, I believe you."

"Thank you, madam."

Yun Xuan walked to Liang Qingchen's side, took out the cloth bag containing the silver needles from the medicine box, warmed the needles over the candle flame, wiped them clean with a handkerchief, and then inserted the needles into Liang Qingchen's Hegu acupoint, followed by Zusanli acupoint, and then Shu acupoint...

After the whole process, Liang Qingchen's body was pierced with several silver needles. Jiang Muyu could only frown when he saw it, and felt the pain before it even entered his body.

Fortunately, Liang Qingchen's brows gradually relaxed, and it seemed that the pain was relieved.

Yun Xuan said: "I can only provide a temporary anesthesia, please ask the doctor to move more quickly."

Several doctors nodded. Seeing Liang Qingchen in great pain just now, they did not dare to use too harsh a method. Now seeing that he was much more relaxed, they also relaxed a little and were not as restrained as before. However, they were still very cautious and did not dare to make any mistakes.

Yun Xuan also joined in to help, and it took another half an hour to finally clean up the wounds on Liang Qingchen's body. Several people worked together to apply medicine and bandage the wounds, and they were busy until late at night.

Jiang Muyu stayed by their side until several people worked together to lift Liang Qingchen, who was almost wrapped like a mummy, onto the bed.

Doctor Wu Yu said, "Your Majesty, I will stay in the palace for the next few days to change the prince's medicine regularly. The prince may have a fever tonight, so you need to pay more attention to him."

Jiang Muyu nodded, "I understand. Thanks to Doctor Wu Yu."

"This is what I should do."

The people in the room left one by one, leaving only Jiang Muyu, Yun Xuan, and Liang Qingchen on the couch.

Yun Xuan brought some food over and said, "My queen, you have been busy all night and haven't had dinner yet. Eat something to fill your stomach."

Jiang Muyu waved his hands, "No need, you can leave too, I'll be the one guarding here."

"I'm just outside the door. Your Majesty, please call me at any time if you need anything." She placed the food on a small table beside her so that Jiang Muyu could get it when she wanted to eat. She bowed and retreated outside the house.

Jiang Muyu leaned on the edge of the bed, gradually feeling sleepy.

It was not until she heard some noises around her that she woke up and saw Liang Qingchen's face was red, obviously he had a fever.
