The Chen family's wound medicine was prepared by a doctor who lived in the mansion. It was said that the doctor came from a family of doctors and had superb acupuncture skills. The ointment he prepared was also very popular among the dignitaries in Kyoto.
The Imperial Medical Office recruited the doctor dozens of times, but he declined each time, saying that he had received kindness from the ancestors of the Chen family and that he came down the mountain to repay them.
Ever since Concubine Chen was born, the doctor has lived in the Chen Mansion. At that time, everyone said that Madam Chen was seriously ill and would not live for many years. However, due to the doctor's meticulous care, daily medicated food, acupuncture and massage, the person who should have died twenty years ago lived to the end of her life.
There were two bottles of medicine for wounds on the tray. There were plum blossoms painted on the bottles, and there was a signature at the bottom of the bottles, with a small word "Sun" written on it.
Ah Xiang respectfully handed over the tray, "Empress Xi, Empress Chen asked me to deliver medicine to the eldest prince."
Concubine Xi reached out and took the medicine, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes. She had been looking for medicine everywhere but couldn't find it. Concubine Chen sent her the ointment at this time, which solved her urgent problem.
Concubine Chen sent medicine to my son, but I was angry with her a few days ago because of the disappearance of the eldest prince.
Concubine Xi was extremely conflicted, picking up and putting down the medicine bottle in her hand.
The eldest prince groaned, "Mother, I need Empress Chen to give me some medicine for the wound. It hurts."
Concubine Xi quickly came to her senses when she heard her son calling her, "Ah Xiang, go back and tell your mother to thank her for the medicine she sent. I will take the eldest prince to thank her tomorrow."
Ah Xiang bowed and walked away with a smile.
Agui chased after her and gave her a bag of silver as a reward, but Axiang did not accept it.
"No need to pay. If the ladies are well, we palace maids will naturally follow suit."
"Sister, please say a few good words for our Concubine Xi."
"Of course, of course. You go back and serve Concubine Shu. I'm leaving first."
Ah Xiang accompanied Ah Gui to the gate, and did not go back to report until Ah Gui's back disappeared.
The masters were angry, and even the palace maids didn't dare to speak loudly. Now that the misunderstanding was resolved and the eldest prince was found, Liangxiao Palace returned to its former lively and harmonious state.
The eldest prince had three blisters on his palms, and his back and ankles were also covered with wounds.
Zhu Dunyi had been practicing martial arts since he was young and was very familiar with the human skeleton and meridians. He specifically targeted places with acupuncture points, closing and opening the tendons and vital points. Although the eldest prince was covered in blood and his wounds were hideous and terrifying, his injuries did not hit his vital points, and would not leave any sequelae, nor would they damage his foundation.
There is only one thing, pain, a piercing pain.
Agui applied the ointment on the palm of his hand and rubbed it slowly, then placed the ointment in front of a lamp to warm it up, and then applied it to the wound on the eldest prince's back.
The eldest prince's wound had not yet scabbed over, and the ointment bit his skin, causing him to scream in pain.
The nanny who was taking care of the eldest prince knelt on the ground and hugged him: "Little Ancestor, don't move. Apply the ointment and you will heal faster."
The nanny wiped her tears secretly. She had been taking care of the eldest prince since he was born. The nanny had long regarded the eldest prince as her own son. At this moment, when the eldest prince cried out in pain, she felt distressed too and wished she could take the blame for him.
The eldest prince kicked his feet wildly. Concubine Xi said, "Bring a rope and tie him up."
Two eunuchs immediately tied the eldest prince's feet with thick hemp ropes, and the other two palace maids held his arms on the left and right.
The nanny cried breathlessly and begged, "Empress Xifei, please spare the eldest prince."
"I'll spare him today, but no one else will."
After saying that, he turned away, and Agui continued to apply the medicine.
The nanny cried like a tearful person. As soon as the golden medicine was applied, she hurriedly took a pair of scissors and cut the ropes that bound the eldest prince.
Ah Gui went downstairs to wash his hands, and the eunuchs and palace maids also went out on their own.
The eldest prince lay on the small bed, pouting, "Mother is so heartless. Applying the ointment today almost cost me half my life."
The nanny hurriedly advised: "Oh, little ancestor, you are talking nonsense, just take care of it."
The eldest prince solemnly promised, "Madame Li, you will never leave me. When I grow up, I will ensure that your family will be prosperous and wealthy."
The nanny did not take the eldest prince's words to heart, but sang a lullaby to coax him to sleep.
The pain in his body gradually subsided, and was followed by a slight chill. Then the skin on the wound began to itch. The eldest prince reached out to scratch it, but found that his hands were wrapped in white cloth. The lullaby in his ears became softer and softer, and the eldest prince's eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
The little person, wrapped in gauze, fell asleep in a daze.
The nanny gently covered the eldest prince with a quilt. She didn't know what the eldest prince was dreaming about, but he was sweating a lot at this time.
When Agui came in, he was followed by a palace maid carrying hot water, and soon Concubine Xi also came in.
The nanny sensibly stepped aside, Agui wrung out the towel, Concubine Xi took it tacitly, and then gently wiped the sweat off the eldest prince.
The eldest prince was sleeping soundly and talking in his sleep.
"Mother, please don't let Father hit me. I'm afraid of the pain."
"Mother..."
"I know I was wrong."
The eldest prince was mumbling in his sleep, and Concubine Xi felt distressed and regretful after hearing it, and even complained that she was disappointed in him.
"It hurts, it's okay to hurt. If you don't get beaten, you won't learn your lesson."
"Now, when your family members hit you, they can control the severity of the blows. But when you leave the palace, others will not show mercy when they hit you."
"When a child is beaten, the mother feels the pain."
"You are obedient and sensible, how could your father be willing to beat you?"
Concubine Xi burst into tears, and the eldest prince woke up slowly. When he woke up, he found that the nanny's head was leaning against the bed and she had fallen asleep.
The eldest prince secretly swore to himself, "Madam treats me with deep affection and regards me as her own son, so I must be filial to her."
