When the court doctor heard that Lu Xingzhou was injured, he hurried over with his medicine box.
When Lu Xingzhou took off his coat for the court doctor to see, Shen Liyue discovered that Lu Xingzhou's wound was much more serious than she had imagined.
Just now, when Shen Liyue wanted to see it, Lu Xingzhou just said it was okay. He even held the reins tightly and rode with her all the way. How painful must it be?
The skin and flesh were slightly turned over, and the bones were almost visible.
The court doctor quickly disinfected Lu Xingzhou's wound with wine, sutured the wound, sprinkled a lot of medicinal powder, and then wrapped Lu Xingzhou's arm with gauze.
"Thank you, Doctor Zhang." After the court doctor finished all this, Shen Liyue opened her mouth to thank Doctor Zhang.
Doctor Zhang waved his hand. He wasn't an outside doctor; this was his job. Lu Xingzhou had kept him in Prince Yi's mansion just for this.
But he also sincerely hoped that Lu Xingzhou would need him as little as possible. If Lu Xingzhou didn't need him, it would mean that everything was safe in the mansion.
Doctor Zhang explained the following precautions: the wound should not be exposed to water, no force should be applied until the wound is fully healed, the medicine should be changed twice a day, he would prepare the decoction and send it to him, etc.
Shen Liyue listened attentively on the side, wishing she could take notes.
In fact, there is nothing much to remember. The palace doctor is always there, and Shen Liyue doesn’t need to do these things herself.
By the time everything was packed up, Shen Liyue and Lu Xingzhou were starving.
Fortunately, Nanny Song had thought of this early on. She had just delayed asking the court physician to come and see Lu Xingzhou, so she asked the servants to bring the food into Lu Xingzhou and Chen Liyue's room.
Lu Xingzhou injured his right arm, and it was not very convenient for him to hold chopsticks.
Lu Xingzhou sat there, staring at Shen Liyue with his eyes wide open.
Shen Liyue felt that Lu Xingzhou looked a little funny now. She could see that Lu Xingzhou was waiting for her to feed him.
Chen Liyue originally planned to pick up a chicken wing and feed it to Lu Xingzhou, thinking that eating is what you need to replenish your body, but she suddenly remembered what happened today and put down her chopsticks.
Lu Xingzhou opened his mouth wide, but Shen Liyue took the chicken wings away again.
"Lotus is moving." Chen Liyue called out. Shuying and Anxiang had worked hard on the journey to the Northern Frontier with them. After Lu Xingzhou and the others came back, they asked them to go down and rest.
Lian Dong and Yu Zhou were guarding outside the door. When they heard Chen Liyue calling, they immediately pushed the door open and came in.
"Go to the kitchen and bring some steamed buns and the like for the prince. The prince's arm is injured and it is inconvenient for him to eat." Shen Liyue ordered.
"Oh." Lian Dong glanced at Lu Xingzhou, lowered his head and walked out.
"Why?" Lu Xingzhou stared at Shen Liyue with a wronged look in his eyes.
"How are you going to eat if your arm is injured and you can't hold chopsticks? Steamed buns and steamed buns will be fine. You can eat with your left hand." Shen Liyue explained nonchalantly.
Lu Xingzhou didn't ask her this. Lu Xingzhou wanted to ask why Shen Liyue refused to feed him for no reason. The door was clearly closed and there were only the two of them in the room. Even if Shen Liyue fed him, no one else could see.
Lian Dong quickly brought in two steamed buns from the kitchen, then went out to help Lu Xingzhou and Shen Liyue close the door.
"The steamed buns are here, eat them." Shen Liyue said lightly.
Lu Xingzhou turned his face away, not wanting to look at the steamed bun at all. He just stared at the plate of chicken wings on the table and nodded at Chen Liyue.
"Do you want to eat chicken wings?" Shen Liyue asked.
Lu Xingzhou nodded obediently, waiting for Shen Liyue to pick it up for him.
"Then ask your junior sister to feed you." Chen Liyue's expression was still indifferent. She ignored Lu Xingzhou and picked up the food on the table and put it into her mouth.
Lu Xingzhou then realized why Shen Liyue had been acting strangely since she came back.
"Are you...jealous?" Lu Xingzhou asked cautiously.
Shen Liyue rolled her eyes at him and ignored him.
"Haha!" Lu Xingzhou jumped up from the stool happily, "You're jealous! You're jealous!"
Lu Xingzhou did not lower his voice deliberately. If Lian Dong and Yu Zhou were standing at the door at this moment, they would probably be able to hear it.
Shen Liyue was a little embarrassed, “Keep your voice down, people outside can hear you.”
"So what?" Lu Xingzhou couldn't close his mouth with laughter, but he lowered his voice a little.
“Yue’er, I’m really happy that you’re jealous of me.” Lu Xingzhou calmed down a little and sat on the stool next to Shen Liyue.
Chen Liyue simply put down her chopsticks and looked at Lu Xingzhou: "Then tell me the truth. Where did this little junior sister come from? Why have I never heard you mention her before?"
Seeing Chen Liyue's serious look, Lu Xingzhou also became much more honest.
"When I was young, I was always in poor health. My father heard from others that there was a man named Tang Daozi in the Jianghu. He was an excellent doctor and had outstanding martial arts skills, but he was always traveling around the world. My father sent people to search for him for a long time before he found him. He asked him to be my master. First, he could help me regulate my health, and second, he could teach me martial arts."
"Originally, Master didn't want to come when he heard that the palace had sent someone looking for him. He was used to his freedom and didn't want to be involved in the palace's gossip. But after my father's repeated requests, he finally agreed to come see me. Even if he can't be my Master, it's good for him to come and see me."
"Later, my master came and saw that I was a talent for martial arts, so he agreed to teach me. However, he put forward a condition: he would only teach me until I was eighteen. After that, my master would continue to travel around the mountains and rivers. My father also agreed."
"So when I turned eighteen, my master, seeing that I had mastered martial arts and was in good health, resigned from my father and continued to travel the world."
"I had originally written a letter to Master, hoping to invite him back to attend the wedding banquet, but Master said he was not in the Great Chu territory and did not want to interact with those dignitaries. He only sent a gift. So I didn't mention it later. I just wanted to wait for Master to return and bring you to meet him."
Lu Xingzhou finished speaking and looked at Shen Liyue eagerly.
But Shen Liyue didn't let him go, "You only talked about your master, but you haven't mentioned your little junior sister Hong Ling yet."
"You even remember her name so clearly?" Lu Xingzhou smiled again.
Shen Liyue rolled her eyes, and Lu Xingzhou quickly stopped teasing.
"Hong Ling is the daughter of an old friend of Master. Before his death, that old friend entrusted Hong Ling to Master. Master wanted to travel around the world, and as a prince, it was naturally impossible for me to accompany him. Hong Ling accompanied him all the way, and Master truly treated Hong Ling as his own daughter."
After Lu Xingzhou's explanation, Shen Liyue understood, but Shen Liyue was still a little worried.
"So you and her...?"
Lu Xingzhou said sternly, "She and I are just senior brothers and sisters. We used to practice martial arts together under our master. Besides, she is a few years younger than me. I do take care of her more, but there is absolutely no love between us."
