There were a bunch of servants in the room. Princess Ning was sitting on the bed, hugging Lang'er, whose head and face were covered in blood, and wiping the blood off him with shaking hands. Soon the handkerchief was stained with blood. The maid next to her hurriedly took the handkerchief and handed over a clean one.
Lang Ge'er was crying so hard that he was out of breath. The cut on his forehead was as long as a thumb, and there was a deep hole with blood constantly oozing out of it. It was scary to look at.
Pei Qian's legs went weak when he saw this scene.
The servants exchanged glances with each other in response to his words.
Pei Qian then realized that it was Lang Ge'er who was naughty. He shook off the servants and climbed up the rockery, but ended up falling down and hitting his head.
"Your Highness..." When Princess Ning saw him, she immediately felt reassured.
"Father... wow wow... Lang'er is in so much pain..." When Lang'er saw him, he cried even louder. Tears as big as beans rolled down his face and mixed with the blood on his face, making him look even more miserable.
Pei Qian felt a pang of pain in his heart and shouted at the servants, "Where's the imperial physician?"
"Your Majesty, I have already gone to invite him."
"Go again! Get the doctor here immediately!"
“Yes, yes!”
"What are you all standing here for? Go get some hemostatic powder!"
The servants, who were like headless flies, came to their senses after being yelled at by him. Some of them ran errands, some of them got medicine. The room was finally no longer a mess.
When the hemostatic powder was brought, Pei Qian applied it to Lang'er himself. However, the wound on Lang'er's head was too deep, and the hemostatic powder did not stop the bleeding. Instead, it was dispersed by the blood and irritated the wound, making it more painful. Lang'er struggled violently, waving his hands wildly, and directly knocked the bottle of medicine in Pei Qian's hand to the ground.
When Pei Qian bent down to pick up the medicine bottle, another medicine bottle rolled out of his sleeve.
Rejuvenation pill!
Seeing Langge's face wrinkled in pain, he gritted his teeth and decided to give it a try.
He poured out a pill, crushed it and applied it to Langge'er's wound.
After a while, the bleeding stopped and Pei Qian breathed a sigh of relief.
By the time the imperial physician arrived, Lang'er's wound had even formed a thin layer of scab.
Only then did Pei Qian truly believe in the efficacy of the rejuvenation pill, and Zhao Yu's image in his mind became increasingly elevated.
Within two days, Lang'er's wound healed completely, without even a scar left. The imperial physician who came for a follow-up examination was amazed and secretly guessed that the palace might have paid a large sum of money to the Sun family to obtain the White Jade Paste, a holy medicine for external injuries.
Pei Qian also brought Lang Ge'er to personally thank Xue Huan.
This is a story for later.
Xue Huan returned to the Prince's Mansion. As soon as she stepped into Qinghui Tower, a figure rushed towards her, "Master!"
"A'man! You are here? Where are Wu Qi, Xuan Xiao and the others?" Xue Huan caught A'man who was rushing towards her and held her hand happily.
"I'm here." Wu Qi's voice came from under the sycamore tree.
She sat on the swing, swinging leisurely, holding a bowl of cherries in her hand and eating them one by one.
Ah Man said, "Xuan Xiao and Xuan Qing stayed in the mountain stronghold. Wu Qi and I missed the young master, so we came here. Xuan Ming escorted us all the way."
Xue Huan took her to the sycamore tree and sat down on a stone bench, then asked about the situation in the village after she left.
Ah Man told her everything.
"Now that there are a lot more people in the village, it's very lively. The weapons workshop has reopened. Xuan Xiao is leading the team to forge iron. The clanging sounds every day are very noisy at first, but once you get used to it, it no longer sounds noisy. Xuan Qing is leading the team to open up the wasteland and plant a lot of pumpkin seeds.
"Sir, the pumpkin seeds you planted with us have now grown to calf height. They'll be able to climb the trellis soon... Oh, and here's a letter from Miss Lu and Miss Yu to you."
Ah Man pulled out two letters from his bosom and handed them to Xue Huan. "Besides the letters, the people in the village knew we were coming to see you, and they gave us a lot of gifts to take to you."
The things have been stored in the warehouse by Hongxiang. Xue Huan went to see them. There were pickled game, saltpetered furs, various mountain delicacies, and medicinal herbs. They were all gifts from the people in the village.
At noon, Xue Huan cooked a sumptuous lunch herself using wild game and mountain delicacies.
Pei Ji, who used to come to punch in on time every time it was mealtime, didn't come this time. Xue Huan asked Hongxiang to go and see what was going on.
Hongxiang came back and said, "His Highness is discussing matters with several adults. He asked Changtian to tell you to eat first and not to wait for him."
Xue Huan left some food for him and started eating with Ah Man and Wu Qi.
She originally wanted Hongxiang and Cuitai to sit down and eat together, but the concept of master-servant hierarchy was deeply ingrained in their bones, and they refused to eat at the same table with her, which they considered an act of usurpation.
She even wanted to persuade Ah Man and Wu Qi to leave the table and not disturb her while she was eating.
Ah Man was not without respect for hierarchy, but was completely obedient to Xue Huan's orders, doing whatever she told him to do. Wu Qi, on the other hand, was completely unimpressed by human rules and did not consider himself inferior.
So the two of them ignored Hongxiang and the other two. As long as Xue Huan didn't say anything, they just sat there.
"Okay, you guys go and have your meal too." Xue Huan said to Hongxiang and the others, without even mentioning asking Ah Man and Wu Qi to leave the table.
What's the point of eating alone? She still wants to chat with them about the things happening in the village.
After dinner, Xue Huan asked Hongxiang to take A'man and the other two downstairs to settle down. She returned to her bedroom upstairs and opened the letters written to her by Lu Jinyao and Yu Xiaoxiao.
In the letter, Lu Jinyao first expressed greetings to her on behalf of everyone in the village, and then reported all the major and minor events that had happened in the village recently.
It's like a work report.
Yu Xiaoxiao's letter was written on behalf of the children in the village. She asked her all kinds of strange questions, and Xue Huan laughed from time to time when she read them.
She wrote back to the two of them, prepared some food and daily necessities, and then handed the letter and several bulging packages to Xuan Ming, asking him to make a trip.
He then handed him another small package and said, "Here are the dry food I prepared for you. There is beef jerky, naan bread, meat paste, and some medicine. Be careful on your journey."
Xuan Ming looked at the package specially prepared for him and was very excited. However, he was not good at expressing himself, so he nodded heavily, took the things and strode away.
Before Pei Ji came over, Xue Huan packed the dishes left for him in a lunch box and carried it to the study in the front yard.
It is called a study, but it is actually a large courtyard with guards guarding outside. The study is a restricted area and ordinary people are not allowed to enter without permission. However, Pei Ji had already told everyone in the mansion about Xue Huan's identity and said that she could go anywhere in the mansion.
Therefore, when they saw her, the guards immediately saluted her and shouted in unison, "Young Master Zhao." They let her go without asking any questions.
Because she was afraid of meeting strangers, Xue Huan still dressed like a man at this time.
Coincidentally, as soon as she entered, she ran into several adults coming out of the study.
The leader was none other than Prime Minister Wang Hui, and the others were Minister of Personnel Zheng Yi, Minister of Revenue Feng Hua, and Commander of the Imperial Guards Cui Hu.
These people are all Pei Ji's supporters and confidants.
