Liu Yuanzheng can pretend to be deaf.

However, not all people in the Imperial Hospital are stupid.

When Concubine Ji and Prince Ding came in, they made quite a noise and attracted a lot of people's attention.

"What's going on?! Why are Lady Ji and Prince Ding coming together?"

"Hiss, what happened to Prince Ding's hand? Why is it covered in blood? Did something big happen?"

"...Wait, look where Noble Ji's hand is."

Whispers spread quietly among the crowd.

"Why is Concubine Ji... holding Prince Ding's hand?" an apprentice whispered.

"Your eyesight is not good. Lady Ji was clearly only holding Prince Ding's wrist."

"'Even if I was holding her, it was too close. If the emperor knew, I'm afraid he would...

"If the emperor was angry, he would have punished Lady Ji yesterday. You just came today, so you don't know the details." An informed imperial physician came closer and explained to another imperial physician,

"Yesterday, Lady Ji carried Prince Ding horizontally into the Imperial Hospital."

"Guess what? When the emperor found out, instead of blaming her, he praised her for her "bravery" and said she had a chivalrous heart. He also rewarded her with a lot of jewels."

"She is so out of line but he doesn't blame her. The Emperor really dotes on her..." the new imperial physician sighed.

The conversation between the imperial physician and the apprentices became increasingly heated, and their voices passed through the door curtains and screens and reached the inner room.

Even through the curtain, Liu Yuanzheng could hear several familiar loud voices.

Prince Ding's originally gentle expression was tinged with a layer of coldness.

Dean Liu suddenly turned around and glared at the people in the cubicle:

"What are you arguing about? This is the Imperial Hospital, everyone keep quiet!"

He paused for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Jingyixuan is in need of people to handle the medicine residue every day. I see that you all have nothing to do. If you dare to make noise again, you will be responsible for handling all the medicine residue for the next few days!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people who were still peeping outside the screen immediately scattered, fearing that they could not escape.

Nearly a hundred people will be staying in Jingyixuan these days, and dealing with the drug residue is a hard job.

Adding more work to satisfy your own curiosity? Not worth it.

People shook their heads and walked away, continuing to prepare for the draft.

After dispersing those peepers, Liu Yuanzheng retracted his gaze and turned to Wu Qing who was standing beside him and said:

"Mr. Ji, please leave first. The prince's wound is quite deep, and I'm afraid it will be a little uncomfortable to treat it."

Wu Qing blinked.

She said: "He is the one who is hurt. He is the one who is unwell, not me. Why should I leave?"

“……”Prince Ding felt helpless.

Why does this sentence sound like it contains a sense of gloating?

Director Liu spoke again and patiently explained to Wu Qing, "What I mean is that the following treatment process may be a little bloody, and I am afraid it will disturb you."

The average psychological quality of concubines was extremely low. At least on the surface.

The appearance of a stray cat could make many concubines panic-stricken and suffer from palpitations for two or three days.

Yuan Liu was very scared. He was afraid that Concubine Ji would faint in the Imperial Hospital after seeing the following scene.

He cannot afford to offer this huge Buddha statue.

Wu Qing was very calm, even a little bewildered: "Did you disturb me? I'm not afraid. What's there to be afraid of? Isn't it just a big hole in the palm of my hand?"

As a modern person who has watched countless thrillers and crime films, Wu Qing wants to say, this is just the beginning.

Yuan Liu was feeling bitter, and the wrinkles on his face were all squeezed together.

It seems that Concubine Ji has made up her mind to stay in the inner room and wait by Prince Ding's side.

Liu Yuanzheng shook his head helplessly and said, "In that case, Lady Ji, please sit aside for a while. The prince's injury is serious and the wound is quite deep. I'm afraid it will take quite a while."

Wu Qing wanted to sit directly next to Prince Ding.

Seeing Liu Yuanzheng's subtle expression of fear, Wu Qing suddenly realized something.

She walked away awkwardly, moved away reluctantly, and dragged a round stool over.

Wu Qing supported his chin, looking at Liu Yuanzheng's medicine box for a while, and then counting the number of the prince's eyelashes in his mind, feeling so bored.

On the bed, Prince Ding lowered his head and pondered.

He actually knew what Concubine Ji was worried about.

He was injured in the studio.

If he is injured today, the princes may also be injured tomorrow.

"Mr. Ji." He called softly.

"My injury is not serious. With the medical skills of Liu Yuanzheng and the excellent medicinal materials of the Imperial Hospital, it is only a matter of time for me to recover."

"This injury was caused by my negligence and has nothing to do with others."

Prince Ding specifically emphasized this sentence, hoping that Wu Qing would stop worrying about it.

"If the emperor asks about this matter, I will take full responsibility and will never let Noble Ji be implicated in the slightest."

He curled his lips and said with a pale face, "Stay away, be careful of getting blood on your hands."

Wu Qing frowned and looked at him.

...This is a very good-looking man.

...This man wants to take the blame for you.

So, what was this man thinking?

Considering that Prince Ding had cheated on her once, Wu Qing didn't trust him very much and found it difficult to think positively of him.

[Why is he so kind? Is he up to something or is he doing this for something else?]

Wu Qing's eyes rolled slightly, and the balance in his heart stopped after a brief swing.

——She decided to stay here in case anything went wrong with Prince Ding.

Wu Qing sniffed and choked up, "My Lord, let me stay by your side."

The brocade handkerchief used to bandage the wound was no longer there, so Wu Qing covered her face with her sleeve and made a pitiful look.

She pretended to sob and said, "I can't bear to let you suffer alone. Your Majesty is in pain, but I am hurt in my heart."

After crying for a few times, she would roll down her sleeves and secretly observe Prince Ding's expression.

Seeing that he was silent, she raised her hands again and continued her fake crying performance.

Prince Ding was keenly aware of Wu Qing's distrust of him, and felt very uncomfortable.

He lowered his eyes slightly and whispered, "It's up to you."

Professor Liu's hand, which was about to take the golden wound medicine, stopped in the air with a very rich expression.

Were these two people crazy? Did they completely ignore him and treat him like air?

He is now in a dilemma, neither advancing nor retreating.

Wu Qing urged, "Director, hurry up, the prince's wound is still bleeding."

Liu Yuanzheng took a deep breath and held Prince Ding's hand in confusion.

The presence of Concubine Ji had such an impact on him that his medical skills seemed to have been compromised.

"Your Highness, your wound needs to be treated with medicine, so it is inevitable that there will be some pain." Liu Yuanzheng said.

Prince Ding nodded.

The apprentice then brought over a copper basin filled with amber-clear potion that exuded a faint herbal fragrance.

Prince Ding stared at the potion for a moment and put his left hand into it.

As soon as my hand touched the water, tiny bubbles suddenly appeared.

Especially near the wound on the palm of his hand, bubbles were surging like boiling water, constantly gushing out to the surface.

Prince Ding's eyelids twitched slightly, and he endured the severe pain in the palm of his hand.

"Your Highness, are you okay..." Wu Qing was stunned.

[Why does this pot of medicine look like sulfuric acid...]

At the same time, Liu Yuanzheng turned around and was also dumbfounded. He said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, this potion is used for wiping, not for soaking..."

Wu Qing subconsciously asked: "What would happen if it was soaked?"

Liu Yuanzheng was about to explode: "It's like a pain cutting into the skin, the pain goes deep into the bone marrow."

Looking at Prince Ding who looked as if nothing had happened, Wu Qing was filled with awe.
