As Yinzhen watched his mother and the imperial physician talking on and on, he grew impatient, for it was his hand that was in pain.
Yin Tang said, "Mother, please apply it to my hand quickly. It hurts so much, my hand is still burning."
Consort Yi said impatiently, "Don't rush, wait a moment."
Consort Yi said, "It's good to make you suffer a little, so you'll learn your lesson."
But in reality, she was afraid the medicine would have side effects; she's a typical example of someone who's all bark and no bite when it comes to her son.
Doctor Zhang said somewhat embarrassedly, "The medicine is definitely effective, but it may hurt a little after you apply it."
Consort Yi: "It hurts? How could that be? Shouldn't this kind of medicine feel cool and comfortable when applied, and then start hurting again after the effects wear off?"
Physician Zhang said, “Your Majesty, there are indeed some very precious medicinal herbs here that the Imperial Hospital does not have. However, there are a few herbs that are very good for relieving pain and reducing fever, but they will still cause a slight stinging sensation.”
Physician Zhang said, "However, the efficacy of the medicine is indeed unparalleled. Even the head of the Imperial Medical Academy cannot make such a top-notch wound medicine."
Consort Yi asked, "How painful is it? Is it very painful? Or..."
Physician Zhang was somewhat embarrassed. He didn't know how painful the medicine would be after application, but judging from the ingredients, it should cause some pain. "Your Majesty, this humble servant is not very knowledgeable. Based on the ingredients, it should cause some pain after application, but I don't know exactly how painful it is. I have never used or researched such a medicine before."
Consort Yi wanted to curse, but it was pointless. However, she only had this one trusted imperial physician, and she didn't want to antagonize him.
Consort Yi: "Alright, I understand. I'll ask you one more time. This medicine will heal in two or three days at most, right?"
"This prescription guarantees a complete recovery within two or three days, at most three days," Doctor Zhang said. After saying the first sentence, he added, "If it doesn't get better in two days, that would be embarrassing."
Consort Yi replied, "I understand. Cuiwei, bestow the reward."
Physician Zhang was overjoyed. For physicians like him working in the Imperial Hospital, the reward money was much higher than their regular allowance. Especially for high-ranking concubines or favored concubines, a single reward of over a thousand yuan was much higher than their regular allowance.
Physician Zhang said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yinzhen interjected, saying that after all that, he still hadn't given him the medicine: "Is Mother alright? If she is, please change my dressing quickly."
Consort Yi said, "Second Madam, shouldn't you ask for more details? Otherwise, what if you can't bear the pain?"
Yin Tang gave a wronged "oh".
Consort Yi said, "Cuiwei, see Imperial Physician Zhang out."
When Cuiwei stepped out of the palace, she slipped a purse into Physician Zhang's arms.
Physician Zhang nodded slightly, told Cuiwei not to see him off, and left with his medicine box.
Consort Yi looked at the medicine, wanting to use it but not wanting to. She wanted to use it because the medicine was indeed effective, and if she could recover in two or three days, it would be better than five, six, or seven days. But what if it was very painful and her son couldn't bear it?
Consort Yi couldn't understand this problem, so she asked her son, "Yin Tang, your mother told you that after this medicine is used, your hand will be completely healed and won't hurt anymore in two days. But it will hurt a little after you use it. What do you want to choose?"
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen wondered why it still hurt.
It's not his fault. He wasn't really listening to the imperial physician anyway; he was focused on getting his mother to apply the medicine for him in time. Now, apart from the imperial physician's wife and Cuiwei, who were listening attentively to the imperial physician's words, he didn't care at all.
It's great to have spent another day with you all.
You spent another day with me.
(?????)?? Love you all, muah!
