Chapter 404 I hope the girl will pity my master
"What are you doing? Get out of here!"
Ignoring Mo Jinchuan's scolding, An Yi kowtowed and said, "I hope the young lady will have pity on my master and stop letting him eat spring leeks."
The prince has been unable to eat spring leeks since he was a child. Every time he eats them, his whole body becomes itchy and he wishes he could scratch off a layer of his skin.
Everyone who served him was unaware of it.
He himself was always careful and would even stay away from food cooked in a pot that had been used to cook spring chives within the past few days.
If it wasn't Miss Song's doing, he couldn't figure out why the prince was so cruel to his own body even if he racked his brains.
Mo Jinchuan's face darkened and he scolded, "Get out! Don't let me say it again."
An Yi moved back and knelt upright, "If the master is ill, An Yi will be held responsible even if he dies a thousand times."
"An Yi!"
"What on earth is the prince doing?" Song Yanxi's face turned cold after she understood the whole story.
He knows that he is incompatible with this thing, but he still wants to eat it. How old is he this year?
Without caring to scold him, Song Yanxi said with a serious face: "Stretch out your hand."
Mo Jinchuan's ears turned slightly red, "The King is fine."
Song Yanxi: "Hand."
Under her displeased gaze, Mo Jinchuan slowly stretched out his hand.
Looking at his wrists exposed outside his sleeves and covered with red rashes, Song Yanxi cursed softly and quickly took his pulse.
Mo Jinchuan said: "Last time, this prince accidentally ate spring chives, but his body did not show any symptoms."
An Yi looked at him silently without saying anything.
Song Yanxi had a gloomy face and didn't really want to pay attention to him.
But looking at the red rash on his neck, she couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, do you know that if the food incompatibility is too severe, it can even be fatal."
Mo Jinchuan wanted to nod, but when he saw the anger in her eyes, he changed his words and said, "I didn't know about it beforehand."
Song Yanxi took a deep breath and asked, "Does the prince know now?"
Mo Jinchuan nodded, "I understand. I will keep this in mind in the future."
He answered too quickly, not giving Song Yanxi any chance to attack again.
If she continued to hold on to it, it would make her look petty.
But judging from An Fang's attitude, he clearly did it on purpose!
Since you know you can't eat it, just say it.
She is not an unreasonable person. She forced others to swallow the food even though she knew it was incompatible with theirs.
So what has she become?
The more Song Yanxi thought about it, the angrier she became. She withdrew her hand and said, "I don't have any anti-itch ointment on my body. I need to prepare some immediately."
An Yi hurriedly asked: "How long will it take, girl?"
Judging from the intervals between the prince's previous rash attacks, he would probably be unable to resist scratching himself in about half an hour.
He had been ambushed before and had been poisoned by a similar poison. The itching was so piercing and tingling that it felt like countless ants were biting him, making him want to chop off his arms and be done with it.
Song Yanxi frowned and said coldly, "It will take about half an hour."
She stood up slowly, staring at An Yi's shocked eyes and said, "I hope Your Highness can be patient for the next half hour."
Watching her leaving, An Yi lowered his voice and asked, "Master, did Miss Song do this on purpose?"
Mo Jinchuan lowered his eyes and adjusted his sleeves, without even looking up, he said, "Go outside and kneel down."
An Yi responded respectfully, stood up and was about to go out.
Just as he reached the door, he heard his master's voice, suppressed with anger, "Kneel further away."
"Yes, Master."
It just meant that he had to kneel down where Miss Song couldn't see him, and he understood.
As long as his master doesn't suffer, he would be willing to kneel farther away, even if it meant kneeling on the frozen lake surface that was full of knife points.
Looking at An Yi's cheerful back, Mo Jinchuan clenched his fists.
He really has been pampering them too much lately.
On the eaves of a house not far away, An San suddenly sneezed, tugged at his cloak and said, "It's getting cold, time to put on more clothes."
Song Yanxi waited for half an hour, until Mo Jinchuan finally couldn't sit still because of the itching all over his body, and then he came over with the ointment he had "carefully" prepared.
The ointment was pitch black and had a foul smell that went straight to the head.
Mo Jinchuan leaned back calmly and asked, "Is this medicine for external application?"
Song Yanxi curled her lips slightly, "If Your Majesty doesn't want to apply it externally, you can also take it internally, the effect is the same."
As for the taste, I can’t say anything good about it.
Mo Jinchuan's handsome brows furrowed instantly, and he pinched the back of his hand under the table and said, "I feel much better now. Such a good ointment should not be wasted."
"How can it be wasted if it is used on the prince?"
Song Yanxi handed the ointment forward, and suddenly a foul smell came to his face, making Mo Jinchuan's face change slightly.
But she acted as if she hadn't smelled it, and said with a smile: "I specially prepared this ointment. Your Highness, apply it thickly to the itchy area and wait for three days."
"Three days?" Mo Jinchuan thought he was hallucinating.
They will set off for Beijing tomorrow. If he applies the medicine for three days, won't he have to leave the city with this face?
Song Yanxi nodded and said seriously, "Three days, not a single day can be missed."
As she spoke, she seemed to remember that she would be returning to the capital tomorrow. With embarrassment on her face, she said, "If the prince leaves the city tomorrow with this face, I'm afraid it will cause unrest."
Mo Jinchuan nodded and asked, "So, can I not take this medicine?"
"cannot."

The next morning, Song Yanxi was still asleep when she heard screams coming from outside.
Someone shouted, "Ghost!"
Mo Jinchuan's lazy voice followed, "Don't panic, it's me."
"Your Highness?" Everyone was terrified. Someone whispered, "Your Highness, what's wrong with your face?"
Mo Jinchuan said casually: "I was scratched by a wild cat last night, and I applied some wound medicine."
He glanced at Song Yanxi's closed door and said with a half-smile, "Wild cats have sharp claws. Applying medicine to the wound won't leave scars."
When they heard that there might be a scar, everyone gasped.
Someone murmured quietly, "I don't know where this blind wild cat came from. How dare it hurt His Highness's face? The people at the post station will catch it and beat it to death."
Mo Jinchuan frowned as he listened, and he glanced at the man out of the corner of his eye and said, "The wild cat is innocent. If I hadn't scared it, it wouldn't have been caught. There's no need to fight and kill it."
"Your Highness is teaching me that it is my fault for talking too much."
Listening to the noise outside, the wild cat Ben quietly pulled the quilt to cover most of his head.
Song Yanxi originally wanted to take a nap, but the noise outside was getting louder and louder. She seemed to hear someone calling General Xu or something.
Before she could make out what was going on, someone knocked on the door gently. "Girl, it's time to get up and have breakfast."
Song Yanxi responded lazily, only to feel the noise outside suddenly quiet down, and only the sound of An Yi's footsteps leaving could be heard.
When she opened the door and went out, she found that the downstairs was empty, with only a waiter busy serving food.
Hearing the noise, the waiter looked up at her and said with a smile, "The hot soup is freshly cooked. Princess, come and have a taste. You won't be able to drink this again outside our border town."
Song Yanxi walked downstairs slowly, met the waiter's smiling eyes, and asked, "Is the prince out?"
The waiter's smile froze as he said, "General Cheng came to look for the prince early this morning. I don't know if there's some important military matter he has to attend to. Perhaps there's something he hasn't given orders for, so the prince just went out to look for General Cheng."
He smiled and asked, "The prince just left a while ago. Does the princess need me to ask him to come back?"
