Concealing his astonishment, Physician Li quickly summoned someone to examine Cuiming and Hongye, while he himself hurriedly searched for the Jade Complexion Cream.
He trusted Qin Yuan completely. If Qin Yuan said it was just a superficial injury, then it was just a superficial injury.
However, a woman's appearance is also very important, and she must never leave any scars.
The young apprentice had already fetched water to help Qin Yuan wash away the bloodstains. A cut on her cheek was now visible, and there were several scrapes on her forearm, all of which had broken the skin.
Xiao Dong handed the mirror to Qin Yuan and frowned, saying, "How did you startle the horse out of nowhere? Sister Yuan's face is all cut, but luckily it's not deep. Master has some ointment to apply."
What if the injury were even more serious?
It would be such a shame if such a beautiful face had a scar.
Qin Yuan took the mirror to look at the wound on her cheek and forced a smile, saying, "Luckily, it's nothing serious."
Xiao Dong said, "Not long after Sister Yuan left, I heard people outside shouting that a horse had been startled. I didn't expect it to be Sister Yuan's carriage. The horses in the Marquis's mansion are all good horses, and the coachmen are all experienced. How could this happen?"
Qin Yuan nodded: "You reminded me. This matter cannot be let go easily. Luckily, it wasn't in a busy market. If someone had been trampled to death or injured, it would have been fatal. It's also fortunate that I didn't plan to make a big fuss when I came out today, and I didn't have many hairpins in my hair. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so lucky if I had accidentally bumped into someone."
Cuiming had a solution, but it was a pity that she had to return the main wife's place along with everyone else. Qiuju examined Cuiming's injuries and asked about the situation at the time before taking her leave.
Doctor Li chuckled awkwardly twice and said, "Are you worried about the silver you left with him? We're on the same side now."
The Marquis bowed slightly from his horse and said, "It is too much of a formality. It was just a coincidence that we met. If the Marquis's wife wishes to return to the manor, I can escort her all the way back to the Marquis's residence. There is no need to worry."
Qiuju spoke, and followed Douzi all the way to Wutong Garden.
Cui Ming smiled and hummed in agreement.
As they walked down the road, Ran Xin didn't know what to say, her brows furrowed as if she was thinking about something.
Doctor Li went in and out, closing the door behind him. Two old women stood guard inside, and I went to the back.
Until Cuiming came out all dressed and ready, Hou Fu sat upright on his horse, leisurely looking around. He was incredibly patient, and no matter how much Doctor Li invited him, he seemed determined not to go into Renhe Hall to wait.
Cui Ming lay on the floor by the bed, closed her eyes, and soon drifted off to sleep.
The Marquis's residence was indeed a place of refined elegance, with a fiery temper and a perfectly controlled demeanor.
Doctor Li pulled Da Dong aside and said, "Go out and find an old woman to ask. Tell her that the lady needs to change her clothes and ask who is in charge of the lady's clothes to bring them down quickly."
Hongye and Prince Qi helped Cuiming change her clothes and remove her hairpins before she went inside to rest.
Ran Xin blinked.
Seeing that you still look unwell, Qiuju said, "The old lady knows they were injured and is quite shaken. She told you to go back to Wutong Garden to rest and not to worry about anything. She said you can come to see them again when they are feeling better. If you have anything to eat or use, just ask."
Not long after Ran Xin's carriage left, the carriage that Qin Yuan had sent to pick up Cui Ming arrived. Qi Wang, having recovered from his panic, got off the carriage with Hong Ye, his face pale.
Cuiming said to Hongye and Prince Qi, "They were also frightened today, so they should go back and rest first. They can come back to eat when it's time to eat. If they want to eat, they should do so reluctantly. They can come back to serve you tomorrow. If they feel better, they should come back slowly to serve you. Just rest."
"He will summon you here and have someone wickedly guard the King of Qi."
Ran Xin nodded emphatically.
Then Doctor Li remembered to ask, "Did the old women who accompanied us bring any changes of clothes?"
Doctor Li lowered his voice and asked, "How come you ran into Ran Xin?"
The old woman inside called out, "Madam, I've brought the clothes. Shall we call Miss Hongye over?"
Li Langzhong sighed inwardly.
I still feel lingering fear when I think about it.
Ran Xin nodded, "She should have brought it. Qin Yuan is very disciplined and always brings two sets with her when she goes out, just in case."
He is truly a gentleman.
Cuiming changed her clothes and combed her hair before walking out of Renhe Hall. In full view of everyone, she bowed to the Marquis's residence and said softly, "Thanks to Your Excellency for saving my life, I am deeply grateful. I will never forget your kindness. When my husband returns, I will come to express my gratitude again."
Cuiming asked, "How are Hongye and Prince Qi doing now?"
Da Dong responded and ran out.
Hou Fu cleared his throat and asked, "Is Madam's injury serious? I have known Lord Gu since childhood. In those years I went to the northern frontier. Although I lost contact with your old friends, the friendship remains. I have never seen Madam stand idly by when she was in trouble. Madam is certainly not going to be polite."
You slept until midnight, and in your dream, strange and bizarre memories flashed by. You felt cold and tightly bound by something, and you were startled awake from the light dream. Before waking up, you realized that you were being tightly hugged by a cold body.
Physician Li said earnestly, "It's best to stay as far away from those nobles and princes as possible. The trouble in Li Zuyou only happened because Da Xin Juan withdrew."
“Uncle Li, you know,” Cuiming said gratefully, “You remember even the bad things Uncle Li did to you.”
Li Langzhong's friend must also be a doctor, and a very famous one at that, so how could he know such a thing?
Upon entering the mansion, Qiuju hadn't yet arranged for someone to carry the sacks in preparation. Once you got into the carriage, they carried you back to Wutong Garden.
Cuiming declined again and again, and only then did the Marquis's mansion leave on horseback with its servants.
Then Physician Li whispered, "Ran Xin... is being too attentive. You heard from your friends that His Highness the Crown Prince is in very poor health. The Marquis is in charge of the army, so what I did..."
Cui Ming sighed, "You expected to run into me. The coachman said it was all thanks to Ran Xin's help. I'm afraid I'd have to pay for it even if I didn't have ten lives. I was too flustered at the time, and you didn't have time to ask any questions. The Marquis's mansion was also very hospitable, giving up their own carriage for you and the maids to ride in. They really are too kind. You should thank me properly."
King Qi and Hongye were startled and remained silent.
After Cuiming and the other eight people got into the bag, Qiuju said, "Madam is recovering. The old lady asked me to check on Madam's injuries. I will check on them carefully before I go to report to the old lady."
The Crown Prince's health was indeed very poor, but the people there always thought he was in good health.
The bag was carried to the back of the corridor before being placed there.
The old woman said, "Miss Hongye was just frightened, she's not bad yet. Miss Qi should drink some calming medicine."
Cui Ming said, "How could I dare to trouble the Marquis's Palace to escort us again? Qin Yuan's carriage will arrive soon. You can wait outside. I dare not delay the Marquis's Palace any longer."
A little while later, Hongye, who hadn't finished tidying up, came back with the package. Although her steps were still a little unsteady, she looked quite worn out.
Cui Ming felt a chill in her heart, but smiled again and said, "You must have been quite frightened. Why is your mother so worried?"
Doctor Li had already taken out the Jade Complexion Cream, and Xiao Dong immediately brought a mirror for Qin Yuan to see herself in, so that she could apply the medicine more easily.
