Chapter 83 What other surprises are waiting for me?
Doctor Li was adding medicine to warm water and didn't notice this.
Wu Yuanshi coughed dryly, trying to attract the attention of the wood.
——Please tell me what medicine you used!
Doctor Li...didn't react and focused on stirring the medicine.
Wu Yuanshi: "..."
Doctor Li didn't notice, but Xiao Jingfan, who had been staring at this side, saw it and frowned and asked, "Is there something wrong with the wound?"
Wu Yuanshi was startled and turned around to reply, "Your Majesty, we must wash off the ointment first before we can see the wound clearly."
Xiao Jingfan raised his eyebrows: "Then why are you coughing?"
Wu Yuanshi: "..."
"explain!"
Even if Wu Yuanshi wanted to protect Doctor Li, he couldn't: "Your Majesty, the ointment on this girl's hand is not from the Imperial Hospital, it should be..."
"This medicine is made from the juices of flowers and herbs I extract in my spare time." Doctor Li realized it belatedly and took over the conversation. "If you use this medicine regularly, it will make your skin whiter and softer, and it also has a soothing effect on the skin."
"Just now, I noticed that the young lady's wound was slightly red and swollen. I had no other suitable medicine on hand, so I used it without authorization. Due to the urgency of the matter, I did not register it. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."
Xiao Jingfan pursed his lips slightly, showing a bit of displeasure.
The palace stipulated that any new medicine must first be registered with the Imperial Medical Bureau and recorded therein, so that it could be used only after it had a traceable record.
[Isn't this Concubine Rong's favorite beauty ointment? No wonder it feels so cool and comfortable when applied, and my hands don't hurt at all.]
Is this the point?
Xiao Jingfan glanced helplessly at the person on the bed.
In the simple moon-white gauze tent, a woman was seen wearing a small green jacket with buttons, sitting sideways with her knees bent, and a red floral quilt covering her legs.
Her black hair was as smooth as ink, and was lightly tied with a green satin ribbon at the end and gathered in front of her body, which made her little face look even whiter.
If you look closely, he looks a little haggard.
Xiao Jingfan couldn't help but frown. Is this woman thinner than before?
Somehow, seeing Chu Liuzheng's great interest in the ointment on his hand, he suddenly felt too lazy to scold Doctor Li.
"Forget it, this is just one time, it won't happen again."
Doctor Li was stunned and looked up at the emperor.
The matter of using medicine without authorization could be a big deal or a small one, but His Majesty didn't even reprimand him verbally. Is that the end of it?
Is he not hallucinating?
Wu Yuanshi reached out and pulled his arm.
What are you standing there for? Come and thank me!
Doctor Li finally came to his senses and knelt down to express his gratitude.
Next, the two imperial doctors washed Chu Liuzheng's wound, observed him, took his pulse, applied medicine, and finally bandaged him.
The whole process takes half an hour.
With Xiao Jingfan watching over them, the two imperial doctors were more meticulous and it took longer.
Chu Liuzheng stretched his arms out feeling a little bored, and secretly glanced at the top of Xiao Jingfan's head.
[Ever since I learned about the true and false princess story, I've always felt like there's a green halo above the tyrant's head, like he's shining with green light or something. Tsk tsk!]
A question mark slowly appeared in Xiao Jingfan's head.
What is the real and fake princess?
At last night's banquet, an envoy brought up the idea of a marriage alliance, and the tyrant didn't decline. It's estimated that the titles and positions of the three princesses will be announced in two days.
[The princesses are all beautiful, but unfortunately... Princess Xixia has a childhood sweetheart whom she loves, and this sweetheart even wants to disguise herself as a man and enter the harem with Princess Xixia.]
Xiao Jingfan:!
[The real Princess Goryeo got pregnant with twins before she even entered the harem. Her experience was even worse than that of the heroine in the story of abusive women who ran away with the baby. I was so upset last night.]
[The fake princess doesn't have a partner or children, but that's fake. Even if the envoy returns and replaces the jade disc, it's still fake. It's a blatant deception!]
Xiao Jingfan:!!
[Currently, only the princess of Gaochang Kingdom seems to be a potential foreign marriage candidate. However, she has some quirks, such as being afraid of water and not liking to bathe. I wonder if the tyrant would accept this.]
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
The air pressure in the room was getting lower and lower. Looking at the emperor's dark and handsome face, no one dared to make a sound.
Chu Liuzheng realized it later.
[Hmm? Tyrant, you look upset. Why are you suddenly angry out of nowhere?]
Xiao Jingfan clenched his back teeth: What do you think?
[Could it be that... the Tyrant suddenly realized that Xu Wanyi was actually faking her pregnancy and that she had faked her fainting last night?]
Xiao Jingfan: ? ?!
"What..." He just uttered half a word and immediately stopped it with strong willpower.
Hold on!
Can’t ask!!
My face turned red from holding it in.
[Tsk tsk, Xu Wanyi was willing to risk everything to regain her favor, even taking a fake pregnancy pill. Who knows who will end up being the murderer of her fake child?]
[The effects of this medicine last for three months, but the side effects are a bit severe. I'll have irregular periods for a whole year, which is unbearable.]
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
Does this woman even grasp the point?!
[Strange, why is the Tyrant getting angrier and angrier? Didn't he guess Xu Wanyi's fake pregnancy? Then... did the Tyrant know that last night's assassin was sent by Prince Cheng, who had suffered a cerebral thrombosis ten years ago?]
"That's not right. If the tyrant knew the assassin was Prince Cheng's man, he should have been able to find out that Prince Cheng had secretly reached an agreement with Western Xia. He should have first consulted with the Western Xia envoy to discuss life. Why would he summon the Annan envoy to the throne first?"
[The assassin last night disguised himself and sneaked into the Xixia envoy's group. It can be said that Xixia also had a hand in the assassination of the tyrant. How could the tyrant tolerate this?]
Of course I can’t tolerate it!
Xiao Jingfan now wanted to chop his good brother into two halves.
He clenched the bodhi beads and took a deep breath.
Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. If you get angry to death, the throne will be given to those idiots!
He picked up the warm tea on the table and drank half a cup like a cow.
I want to hear what other surprises are waiting for me!
Chu Liuzheng made a lot of random guesses to amuse himself and pass the time, completely unaware that a certain emperor was about to have a heart attack from anger.
She was still sighing in her heart.
The Western Xia are truly shameless. On the one hand, they secretly collaborate with King Cheng, asking him to sell them weapons at low prices; on the other hand, they plan to purchase firearms from the tyrant, hoping to cooperate with him to eliminate the Tatars and the Oirat.
[Eating both, with such a big appetite, aren't you afraid of dying of stuffiness? ]
[Speaking of which, with the tyrant's intelligence, he shouldn't be fooled by Xixia, right?]
Chu Liuzheng glanced at Xiao Jingfan while thinking.
Xiao Jingfan had already withdrawn his gaze and was looking out the window.
Chu Liuzheng only saw half of the side face with sharp edges and superior bone structure.
[I have to say, there's absolutely no flaw in Tyrant's face; he looks good from every angle. He stays up late every day, so why doesn't he seem to have wrinkles on his face?]
【This natural beauty is different. 】
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
Just at this moment, a young eunuch came running to report that the envoy from Annan was waiting for an audience in Wenhua Hall.
Xiao Jingfan stood up and left.
If I listen any further, I wonder what nonsense this woman will ramble on. Let’s stop here for today.
As soon as he left, the tense atmosphere in the room immediately relaxed. The two imperial doctors did not hesitate and quickly tied a knot on the gauze.
Wu Yuanshi warned: "Young lady, please remember not to get wet."
Chu Liuzheng nodded, "Thank you both, Imperial Physicians."
Doctor Li carried his medicine box on his back and looked at her. "From now on, I will be the one changing your medicine every day. If you feel unwell, please send someone to the Imperial Hospital to find me. I will rush over immediately."
After being cared for by a dedicated nurse, she now works as a private doctor?
It’s all free!
Anyone who doesn't take advantage of an opportunity is a fool, Chu Liuzheng quickly agreed.
Moxiang sent two imperial doctors out for her and carefully asked them what precautions to take.
Doctor Li was very patient and answered all the questions one by one.
Moxiang took note of everything, bowed slightly and said, "Goodbye, two imperial doctors."
