Chapter 73: The weak and helpless imperial physician
Lin Xiaoyue felt nervous. It was the eldest princess!
Before in Nishang Pavilion, the eldest princess was very close to me, but now the situation has changed. At that time, Brother Liang was there, but now I am alone in the palace. If I am seen by the eldest princess, will she help me or expose me directly?
Lin Xiaoyue didn't dare to risk her own life. She put a dagger against the imperial physician's neck and threatened: "Tell me, we don't need anyone here! Otherwise, I'll cut you with my knife, and even the immortals won't be able to save your life!"
The imperial physician dared not resist and immediately shouted outside, "Princess, please wait a moment. I will be ready soon."
The eldest princess did not give the imperial physician a chance to continue speaking and walked in directly with her maid.
The maid moved quickly. As soon as the eldest princess entered, she immediately closed the door, as if she knew there was someone else inside.
Lin Xiaoyue called out awkwardly, "Princess, why are you here?"
The eldest princess nodded. "A fool was worried and asked me to come find you. In all these years, I haven't seen him come to me in person to ask for help. Fortunately, my people found out there was some movement in the palace, and I roughly guessed that you were here. How are you? Are you okay?"
Lin Xiaoyue knew that the fool the princess was talking about must be Brother Liang. She didn't expect that Brother Liang couldn't wait to come find her. However, asking the princess to come forward was indeed the wisest solution! After all, in the capital, in the palace, as long as the princess wanted to go, no one dared to stop her!
She said embarrassedly: "Brother Liang, why are you bothering me? I'm fine, I'll be back soon!"
The princess didn't believe it. She looked Lin Xiaoyue up and down. When she saw the arrow on her back, her brows furrowed. "You're really risking your life! No wonder that idiot was almost going crazy. How can you act like nothing happened after being shot by such an arrow? Imperial Physician, quickly remove the arrow from Mu Yao."
The imperial physician originally thought that the princess would stand on his side, but he didn't expect that she would be the assassin's accomplice!
He said depressedly: "Princess, this is an assassin! We should hand it over to the emperor!"
The eldest princess glared at the imperial physician fiercely. She knew that the imperial physician was an old stubborn person, so after entering the Wude Hall, the first thing she did was to send away the people guarding outside.
At first, Prince Jingnan was reluctant, but the emperor had long been unwilling to stay here. Since the princess was willing to stay here for him, he was more than happy to do so. He immediately took the second prince away. When Prince Jingnan saw this, he hurriedly followed them. After all, Jingyi would not die. He had to seize this opportunity to get the emperor to agree to the marriage!
There are so many dirty and disgusting things hidden in the Liang Palace. Compared with that, Jingyi's deeds are nothing!
So if Emperor Liang didn't want others to know the secrets of the palace, he had to agree to his own request!
The eldest princess doesn't care about what happens between Emperor Liang and Prince Jingnan. She has only one goal now, to bring Lin Xiaoyue back safely!
She directly took the dagger from Lin Xiaoyue's hand and shouted at the imperial physician, "Your Majesty? You can go out and take a look first. Not to mention the Emperor and Prince Jingnan, even the Second Prince and everyone in your Imperial Hospital have left! If you don't believe me, you can try it! Who is faster, the people who come to save you, or my knife? On the other hand, it seems that even if I kill you, no one can do anything to me? Then your death will be too worthless!"
The imperial physician's face flushed red from being told this. It was true, did the princess need a reason to kill someone? But if she died like this, it would be a heavy blow to her family!
He reluctantly agreed, "Okay! I'll treat this girl right away!"
The princess showed a satisfied smile on her face. After she put away the dagger, she said to the maid beside her, "Go and serve Mu Yao. After bandaging her wound, put on the clothes I asked you to prepare in advance."
The maid nodded and said, "Yes, I will go right away!"
The arrow on Lin Xiaoyue's back was not completely embedded in the flesh, so after the imperial physician removed the arrow, it was very easy to treat the wound. After sprinkling the imperial hospital's special wound medicine, he tied the wound tightly with layer upon layer of gauze.
After treating the wound, the imperial physician walked up to the princess and said, "Princess, the wound has been treated. Miss, please stay away from water for the time being. It will heal in ten days or half a month."
The princess glanced at the chief physician's medicine box and took out a jade box. "Okay, I'll take this jade cream. Remember to watch your mouth today, otherwise, your position as chief physician will be over!"
The imperial physician felt extremely sad when he saw the eldest princess taking away a whole box of Jade Muscle Cream. Originally, the Imperial Medical Bureau was not short of Jade Muscle Cream. But ever since a bastard looted the entire Imperial Medical Bureau, those scarce medicinal materials became scarce, and even the Jade Muscle Cream became rare.
But in the entire Dongsui Kingdom, apart from the emperor, the person who must not be offended the most is the eldest princess!
The imperial physician nodded helplessly and pitifully and said, "Princess, please rest assured. I didn't see anything. I am only here to treat Princess Anyi."
The princess was delighted with the imperial physician's tact and was happy to offer a favor. "Very good! I heard your eldest daughter is now of marriageable age. If you find a young man you like, I can arrange a marriage for you and offer you a glass of wedding wine."
The resentment in the imperial physician's heart disappeared without a trace in an instant. With the eldest princess as a matchmaker, no matter where his daughter marries in the future, her in-laws will look upon her with respect, and her life will be much more comfortable.
He knelt on the ground in gratitude and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, Princess!"
The eldest princess gave him a light support and said, "Get up! The medicine in the palace is reserved for the Emperor, the Princess and the Prince. Jingyi is just a princess from another family, so let her go to the Jingnan Palace to recuperate. Don't waste the palace's resources!"
The imperial physician understood the meaning and replied, "I obey your order!"
At this time, the maid had helped Lin Xiaoyue change into clean clothes and put a thin mask that looked like human skin on her face. Lin Xiaoyue looked at her clothes, which were the same as the maid's, and touched the delicate and smooth mask on her face. Now she understood that the princess was planning to let her pretend to be a palace maid and follow her out of the palace.
Lin Xiaoyue walked over and bowed to the princess gratefully, "Thank you, Princess, for saving my life!"
The eldest princess chuckled and said, "As long as you are kind to our fool, this little thing doesn't matter. Let's go, it's time for us to go back."
Lin Xiaoyue increasingly felt that the Princess's affection for Brother Liang was as close as if they were family. If one looked closely, there were indeed many similarities between the Princess's and Brother Liang's eyebrows. Could it be that Brother Liang was also a member of the imperial family? But why was their family expelled from the capital by Emperor Liang?
