Wen Ya took the ointment and hurried back to the mansion.
"Cousin."
"Wen Ya?" Chu Li sat by the window, touching the windowsill with both hands. He couldn't see anything, so he could only feel the wind and listen to the servants gossiping outside.
"Didn't you go get some medicine? Why are you back so soon?"
Wen Ya walked to the table, opened the medicine box, took out clean gauze and scissors, and said:
"I thought it was time for my cousin to change his medicine, so I gave the prescription to the servant and asked him to go get it. I will change the medicine for my cousin."
Open the small porcelain bottle and pour the crimson powder onto the gauze.
"Cousin, come here."
She carefully helped Chu Li sit down and untied the gauze on her face.
As they peeled off the layers one by one, they saw that Chu Li's eyes were red and swollen, soaked with tears, and unable to open. The black medicine juice was stained on them, which looked horrifying.
Wen Ya took the new gauze dipped in medicine powder and prepared to wrap it around Chu Li.
Chu Li suddenly asked:
"The medicine seems to taste different today?"
Wen Ya was stunned.
really.
Yesterday's medicine was made with fresh herbs, which were crushed and extracted to make the juice, which was applied to the eyes.
But the Seventh Prince gave her medicine powder.
"Well, it's a different medicine. This is..." Wen Ya was about to mention the Seventh Prince, but stopped after thinking about it.
The eldest sister disliked the Seventh Prince and even used malicious thoughts to speculate about him.
The Seventh Prince is such a brilliant and prominent man, and he is also a brother of the Ninth Prince. How could he harm the Ninth Prince?
It means that the eldest sister judges others by her own standards.
"Cousin, let me apply it on you. Your eyes are very red and swollen. We can't delay any longer."
Wen Ya took the gauze and applied it carefully.
However, as soon as the crimson powder touched Chu Li's eyelids, a strong stinging sensation came over her, and Chu Li immediately pushed her away.
"hiss--"
"Cousin!"
"What are you doing!"
At the door, Qin Muyu saw this scene, pushed aside the two servants who were supporting him, and rushed forward without caring about his injured legs.
"Ahri!"
"This medicine is not right!" Chu Li grabbed the gauze and brushed it off. Only a little bit of it touched his eyelids, causing an intense burning and stinging pain, like a needle prick.
Qin Muyu grabbed the gauze, spread it out and smelled it:
"Saltpeter, it contains saltpeter powder!"
Saltpeter is used to make gunpowder and is only available in the military.
"When saltpeter powder touches the skin, it will quickly generate strong heat. Gunpowder used in wars is made of it. If it gets into the eyes, it can burn them directly!"
Wen Ya was so frightened that her face turned pale in an instant:
“Wha, what!?”
This is the medicine given by the Seventh Prince. How could it possibly blind my cousin?
Outside the door, Wen Zhixi came in quickly. After hearing what Qin Muyu said, she hurriedly said, "Go get some water!"
“You can’t use water.”
Once it touches water, the heat instantly increases several times, and the skin can be melted.
Besides, there was something else in this powder besides saltpeter powder.
Qin Muyu had been to the battlefield seven or eight times since he joined the army, and he knew how to deal with it.
He grabbed the vase on the table and smashed it against the edge of the table, then picked up a sharp piece and cut his arm, with blood flowing into the bowl.
"Major General Qin!"
"Miss Wen, quickly wash her eyes with gauze soaked in water, quickly!"
Wen Zhixi was shocked and anxious, and had to do as she was told quickly. However, Major General Qin's legs were burned, and his body was not much healed either. He also cut himself so big, was he trying to kill himself?
Her hands were covered in blood and she hurried to help Chu Li.
Chu Li smelled a strong fishy smell.
"What's this?"
"Cousin, this is..."
"Ali, this is specially formulated water that can gently wash away the saltpeter powder. Don't worry, your eyes will be fine." When Qin Muyu said this, his sinister eyes were already fixed on Wen Ya lying on the ground.
Wen Ya was so scared that her lips trembled and she couldn't stop shaking.
She didn't mean it!
She doesn't know!
She just wanted her cousin's eyes to recover quickly so that he could see things earlier. She had no intention of harming her cousin!
Because the treatment was timely and the wound was not much on the eyes, it was quickly healed. A new plaster was applied, which was gentle and comfortable. Chu Li felt much better.
Madam Wen San received the report from the servant and rushed over immediately. Even though she was usually gentle and kind, she couldn't help being anxious and angry, and slapped Wen Ya in the face:
"You rebellious girl!"
"Are you trying to kill the Ninth Prince?!"
If she blinded the Ninth Prince's eyes, she would not be able to pay for it even if she had ten lives!
Wen Ya covered her face and cried, "Mother, I didn't mean it. I didn't know anything. I don't know anything!"
"You don't know? Then where did this filthy thing that harms people come from?"
“This is… this, this is…”
She didn't dare say it.
She didn't believe that the Seventh Prince would harm the Ninth Prince. There must be something wrong.
If she told anyone about the Seventh Prince, she would never have the chance to marry him.
"It's the seventh prince, right?" Chu Li suddenly spoke.
Wen Ya was shocked, "Cousin..."
"Alright, everyone, leave now."
Madam Wen San really blamed herself, "Ninth Prince, it was because I didn't teach my daughter well that this rebellious girl almost made a big mistake."
"My third uncle is away on a military expedition, and my third aunt has to take care of everything at home. With so many things to do every day, it's inevitable that she'll miss something."
Madam Wen San sighed heavily and told the servants to serve carefully and to pay attention to everything. Everything they ate, drank and used had to be tested before being given to the Ninth Prince.
Then, Wen Ya was taken out.
"Get out of here!"
"Mother……"
“Kneel down!”
Madam Wen San was furious. "Wen Ya, have I ever treated you harshly since you were a child? Even though you were born out of wedlock, I raised you and Zhixi together. But why are you so careless? Did I not teach you well?"
Wen Ya cried anxiously:
"Mother, I won't dare to do it again. I trusted the Seventh Prince too easily. Wen Ya knows she was wrong. I won't dare to do it again next time!"
"How many times have you met the Seventh Prince? This is ridiculous! Kneel here for three full hours and reflect on yourself."
Wen Ya sobbed and dared not speak.
She knelt down and reflected.
But she really didn't understand why the Seventh Prince wanted to harm the Ninth Prince?
Someone must have tampered with that bottle of medicine.
The Seventh Prince must be unaware of this either.
In the house.
Wen Zhixi blamed herself very much, "Cousin, that Wen Ya...was originally an injustice. Alas, it was all because my father got drunk and made a fool of himself. But Aunt Mei gave birth to her. She is a living person. You can't just push her into the water and drown her."
What made Chu Li feel cold was not Wen Ya but the Seventh Prince.
He wanted to blind her.
Over the years, she has been tolerant and cautious in every step. She seldom went to the imperial study and dared not talk much to ministers, for fear of being suspected of forming a faction.
She has no desire for power at all.
Unexpectedly, even though she avoided others like this, she was still regarded as a thorn in the eyes and a thorn in the flesh.
The General's Mansion was set on fire, and what happened today... Since everyone thinks she is easy to bully, she will not tolerate it anymore!
Qin Muyu said: "I will take care of her personally in the next few days."
Wen Zhixi looked at his current appearance. His face was pale, his body was wrapped in gauze all over, and his arm that had just been bandaged was still soaked in blood. It seemed as if he would faint in the next second.
He himself needs care.
"Mu Yu, take good care of your injuries. Nothing should happen in the next few days."
"I'm not seriously injured. Don't worry about me. I just got a skin burn from the fire. I'll be fine after applying medicine for two days."
