Liu Yi covered his face with his sleeves and finally escaped being watched by others.
He rushed all the way back to the palace, drove out all the servants, and only left one trusted servant to serve him.
"Oh! It hurts so much! You're so cruel! You said you wouldn't kill me, but you almost beat me to death. Ouch, ouch..."
"Your Highness, please bear with it a little longer. The imperial physician will be here soon."
Liu Yi covered his face, cried out in pain, and explained, "Hide it from the princess. No, if the princess comes, don't stop her, let her come in directly. I have fallen into this state because of her. She is a troublemaker."
Liu Yi couldn't bear the pain and lay on the bed, crying out in pain.
If he were twenty years younger, he would have rolled over on his bed like a child, crying without caring about his appearance.
The imperial physician arrived late.
I was shocked when I saw Liu Yi's face.
When I came here, I heard a rumor that Prince Duan was beaten by His Majesty. It turns out to be true!
Liu Yi observed the imperial physician's eyes and felt a little panicked.
He tried to remain calm, but the words that came out of his mouth revealed his inner nervousness and anxiety.
"Imperial Physician, will this prince be disfigured?"
"Let me check it out first... Don't worry, Your Highness. These are just superficial injuries. I personally prepared swelling-reducing and scar-removing medicines that are very effective. I guarantee they won't disfigure you."
"Really? Imperial Physician, you can't lie to me."
"Don't worry, Your Highness. Even if I were brave enough, I wouldn't dare to deceive Your Highness."
"Is the scar-removing medicine in the imperial physician's hand a healing ointment made with the Imperial Hospital's unique secret recipe?" the servant suddenly asked.
Liu Yi was puzzled. "What kind of healing ointment is this?"
The servant hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I occasionally hear people say that someone injured their face and would have left a scar. But after using the healing ointment, the scar disappeared completely. The effect is excellent. It is said that the healing ointment comes from the Imperial Hospital."
Liu Yi stared at the imperial physician, "Is that the healing ointment in your hand?"
The imperial physician gave an awkward smile and told the truth, "I don't have any healing ointment, and neither does the Imperial Hospital. People are just spreading rumors."
"That's not right! I clearly heard someone mention the healing ointment, and it was someone from Dai Hou Mansion."
The servant was afraid that Liu Yi would misunderstand him, so he thought hard and finally realized that he had heard the rumor from the Dai Hou Mansion.
Liu Yi frowned and stared at the imperial physician. "Your Imperial Hospital clearly has the healing ointment, but you refuse to give it to me. If I find out you're playing tricks, I'll destroy your Imperial Hospital. And you, if you leave even the slightest mark on my face, I won't stop."
The imperial physician felt bitter, "Your Highness has misunderstood. I did not lie to you. The Imperial Hospital does not have the healing ointment. The healing ointment is in the hands of the Empress, and the formula is also in her possession. Don't forget that the Dai Hou Mansion that the servant just mentioned, the Dai Hou's wife and the Empress are cousins. It's not surprising that she was able to obtain the healing ointment from the Empress."
Liu Yi was surprised, "The healing ointment is in the hands of the Queen?"
The imperial physician nodded heavily.
"Don't you have the formula in the Imperial Hospital?"
The imperial physician hesitated for a moment, "It's okay to tell Your Highness. The healing ointment was originally formulated by the Empress. From the beginning to the end, it has nothing to do with the Imperial Hospital."
"The Queen can actually make ointment? And it's a top-grade skin-healing ointment?" Liu Yi seemed to have opened the door to a new world and asked questions one after another.
I really can’t believe it!
Is the Queen omnipotent?
How come she knows everything and can do everything well?
The imperial physician added, "If Your Highness had known about medical school, you wouldn't be surprised by this. I need to clean your wound first. It will be a little painful, so please bear with it."
“Ouch…”
As soon as the imperial physician started to clean the wound, Liu Yi began to cry out in pain.
"Doctor, what did you use? Why is it so irritating? It hurts so much."
"I used medicinal alcohol produced by the medical school. Although it is irritating, using this medicinal alcohol to clean the wound can effectively prevent infection and inflammation. Your Highness, please bear with it, it will be healed soon."
Liu Yi grimaced in pain, "Do imperial physicians often go to medical school?"
"I have a class at the medical school and I go there every five days."
"The salary in medical school is very good, right?" Liu Yi was curious.
The doctor hummed, "The tuition fee is not bad. It's almost healed, Your Highness, please don't move. I'll apply the medicine later. The ointment is cooling and very effective."
Liu Yi glanced at the imperial physician's medicine box and asked, "Did you get all these things from the medical school?"
The imperial physician nodded. "The medical school has opened several new courses. I will attend them when I have time. Some of the content is quite reasonable. For example, this medical alcohol has been proven to be very effective in preventing wound infection and inflammation. My ointment has also been improved. So, Your Highness, there is no need to worry about scarring. This injury may look serious, but it is actually just a superficial wound."
oh!
Liu Yi did develop some curiosity about medical school.
But it's just a little curiosity.
"My Lord, the princess is here!"
The servant hurried into the house to report.
Liu Yi looked dissatisfied and said, "I'm here now, what are you afraid of?"
The servant quickly put away his nervous expression and made sure to give the prince enough face.
Xiao Qin'er brought her servants and came to the study in the outer courtyard in a grand procession.
She walked into the room and immediately let out a scream.
"Ah...what's wrong with you? Were you beaten? Under the emperor's feet, who dares to attack you? Aren't you afraid of being beheaded?"
Liu Yi snorted, "You also said that this is under the feet of the emperor. Who dares to attack me?"
Xiao Qin'er was shocked, stunned, and couldn't believe it.
"What's going on?"
"I should be asking you this. What did you do without telling me? You didn't tell me beforehand, and now I have to take the blame for you."
Liu Yi took advantage of the fact that Xiao Qin'er didn't know the truth and naturally wanted to turn the tables on her.
Xiao Qin'er frowned and didn't fall into the trap.
She asked the imperial physician, "Is the prince's injury serious? Will he be disfigured?"
"Don't worry, Princess. The prince's injury won't be disfiguring."
"Were these all caused by beatings?" she asked casually.
Liu Yi was furious. "If he wasn't beaten by someone, could it be that I was the one who built the wall with my face?"
Xiao Qin'er rolled her eyes. She didn't argue with Liu Yi in front of the imperial physician.
After taking the medicine, the imperial physician wrote out a prescription for internal use, left some medical instructions, and hurried away with his medicine box.
As a mere imperial physician, he had no courage to stay and listen to the conflict between the prince and princess out of curiosity.
It’s not like I want to die too long.
Xiao Qin'er waved her hand and drove all the servants out.
She sat down on the chair, looked around at Liu Yi's face covered with ointment, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Liu Yi gritted his teeth, "I am so miserable, and you can still laugh. Do you have a conscience?"
Xiao Qin'er simply laughed out loud, hahahaha...
"Looking at you in such a miserable state, I feel really happy."
"Evil woman!" Liu Yi was furious.
Xiao Qin'er waved her hands. "The imperial physician warned us not to get angry, as it would affect the healing of the wound. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, to be beaten like this by His Majesty, what on earth did you do or say to provoke His Majesty to hit you so hard?"
"How dare you ask me! Everything that happened today was caused by you. I want to ask you, was it you who threw the man at the gate of the Shaofu Yamen? You kept talking about revenge, and I knew you wouldn't give up easily. You simply killed me."
Xiao Qin'er chuckled coldly, "So, the matter has reached His Majesty's ears? Why does His Majesty think you did it? He can't just beat you up just because he suspects you did it. You must have said something hateful. I know you can't control your mouth when you get angry."
"You know nothing!"
Liu Yi naturally refused to tell the truth, it was too embarrassing.
Ask him to admit that he is not as good as Xiao Qin'er. Even if he admits it in his heart, he will never admit it, not even if he dies.
"Do you know that if you do this and the news gets out, will your father still have any face? You are smearing your father's face! You are destroying the reputation of the royal family. I was beaten like this because of you. I took it all for you."
"Really?" Xiao Qin'er was surprised.
Liu Yi chuckled twice, "Nonsense! If I hadn't taken all the blame for you, my face wouldn't have become like this. How dare you sit here and question me?"
Xiao Qin'er suddenly felt a little guilty. "Is it really because of me? Your Majesty is so stingy. Why did he hit you? Xiao Shu'er was indecent herself, and I caught her. I was concerned about the reputation of the royal family, so I ordered someone to secretly abandon that man at the door of the Shaofu. If it weren't for my reputation, I would have publicized this matter a long time ago. Your Majesty hit you for this, it's really unreasonable."
Liu Yi snorted, "He's the emperor. If he wants to beat someone up, it's just a matter of a word. Sometimes he doesn't even need to speak, a look is enough. You, you really hurt me."
"I'm sorry! I didn't know things would develop like this. It's so unexpected. Could it be that Your Majesty still intends to keep Concubine Xiao? Keeping a woman like her is a waste of food."
Liu Yi felt a headache. "She is Lao Jiu's biological mother after all. I have to give her face. You and her are sisters. Do you really want her dead? If she dies, aren't you afraid that her family will come after you?"
Xiao Qin'er chuckled, "What am I afraid of? My sister-in-law wouldn't dare to ask about my affairs."
"Where's my mother-in-law?"
"My mother is old and rarely goes out these days. By the time she found out, the matter was already settled. Could she possibly rush to the palace and accuse me? You're just worrying too much. I'm not afraid, so why should you be afraid?"
"It's not as simple as you say."
"But it's not as serious as you think."
snort!
Xiao Qin'er snorted coldly.
"Tell me the truth, why did His Majesty hit you? Was it because you said something that deserved a beating?"
"You deserve a beating! Everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, go to the palace and ask. You and the Empress are so close, why don't you ask her?"
Xiao Qin'er wouldn't dare!
She wrinkled her nose. "Is it really because of me that you got beaten? How can I make it up to you?"
