"Using water from the Tianshan Mountains for medicinal baths can accelerate wound healing, but it will also be accompanied by severe pain."
"Water from Tianshan? No, no, no, that's unnecessary, Miss."
When Uncle Xiao heard that he was to use water from Tianshan Mountain for a medicinal bath, he immediately objected. He knew how rare and precious a single drop of Tianshan Mountain water was, and he felt it was an honor for him, a mere subordinate, to be used for a medicinal bath.
"Uncle Xiao, don't worry about the water from Tianshan Mountain, there's guaranteed to be plenty!"
Uncle Xiao looked at Mo Zichen, wondering if Yan An was teasing him or if there really was water from Tianshan.
"Uncle Xiao, don't worry, An'an didn't lie to you."
Uncle Xiao was still pondering to himself, "That's water from Tianshan! Wouldn't it be a waste to use it on myself?"
Yan An saw through Uncle Xiao's thoughts and couldn't help but tease him, "Uncle Xiao, are you afraid of pain?"
"How could that be! Back when I was young, I braved wind and rain, saw swords and shadows, I've seen it all!"
Uncle Xiao felt a surge of pride when he recalled the drive he had in his youth, but the light in his eyes dimmed instantly when he thought about his legs.
It seems that Uncle Xiao was just suppressing his loneliness, not wanting to upset them. If it were an ordinary person, how could they be the same as an ordinary person after losing a leg?
“Since Uncle Xiao isn’t afraid of pain, Peng Liang, go and prepare a pot, or a vat, as long as it can be used for medicinal baths and heating. Also, bring in some wood.”
Yan An gestured to Peng Liang, who was standing nearby, to hurry up and prepare, as it would be best to soak in the medicinal bath overnight.
Seeing that Peng Liang had already gone to prepare, Yan An went to a room next door, flashed his consciousness into the space, filled several buckets with water from Tianshan Mountain, and added some anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and wound-healing medicinal herbs.
With a flash of divine sense, Yan An and the four buckets of water appeared outside. Mo Zichen heard the noise beside him and knew that Yan An must have come out. He turned around and went to that room.
"I'll do it."
Just then, Mo Zichen saw Yan An about to carry four buckets of water and quickly stepped forward to take them from him.
Soon Peng Liang came in carrying a large pot. "Miss, do you think this will do?"
Yan An tapped the large pot and nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad, set it up and add some more firewood."
Buckets of water from the Tianshan Mountains were poured into a large pot, instantly filling the room with the rich aroma of the water, which was refreshing and invigorating.
"Peng Liang, help Uncle Xiao inside, and remember to keep the wound completely exposed."
The moment Uncle Xiao went inside, a sharp pain surged through him, stimulating his nerves. It felt as if his legs were being pierced by thousands of scorching knives, and a agonizing pain spread throughout his body in waves.
Uncle Xiao's face was deathly pale, devoid of any color. He would sometimes furrow his brow, and sometimes breathe heavily, but he never uttered a sound of pain.
"Uncle Xiao, you're in a bit of pain now, but it will lessen in a couple of hours."
Before Yan An could finish speaking, Qian Feng rushed in anxiously, "Master, Miss, Miss is awake."
"Miss...I...I'm fine, you can...go ahead and get back to work."
Due to the intense pain, Uncle Xiao was no longer able to utter a complete sentence.
"Okay, Peng Liang, you keep an eye on things here. If anything happens, come find me. And remember to add firewood."
Yan An then took out a special thermometer and placed it in the large pot. "Watch this point. If it's below this line, add a little more. If it's too high, it will burn Uncle Xiao."
Peng Liang stared at the thermometer with great curiosity. He could also tell from Yan An's words that this thing could tell whether the water in the pot was hot or cold.
"Don't worry, Miss. I can handle Uncle Xiao perfectly well."
"Qianfeng, go and make preparations. We'll set off back to the capital first thing tomorrow morning."
After listening to Yan An's explanation, Mo Zichen felt that it was best not to delay for too long and to set off early the next morning.
In a short while, Yan An and Mo Zichen arrived outside Xu Nianxia's door, and Mo Zichen stopped in his tracks.
"What's wrong, Brother Zichen?"
"It's all because of me that she's become like this. I'm worried..."
Yan An instantly understood. Xu Nianxia had gone through great lengths to find the water of Tianshan for him, and now that he was fully recovered, Xu Nianxia was in this state. Such a woman must be a loyal and righteous person. Whether she could accept her current appearance was another matter.
"For Sister Nianxia, you are her only family. Perhaps she feels the same way about you?"
Yan pretended to yawn, "I'm a bit sleepy after a long day, so I won't bother you. As for the patients under my care, it's fine if there are any complications, I'm going to go to sleep."
Let the young couple handle their own affairs. She needs to write a letter to Yue Xiyuan, telling him that she will return to Beijing tomorrow.
Yan An returned to his room and wrote a lovey-dovey letter to Yue Xiyuan. Just thinking about Yue Xiyuan's face made Yan An look like a lovesick fool…
"I wonder what Yue Xiyuan is doing? Has he missed me...?"
Yan An was indeed tired, and fell asleep shortly after lying down on the bed.
After toasting everyone in the capital, Yue Zhixiao, recalling the excitement he felt during the wedding procession earlier that day, left the guests in the courtyard and returned to his room early.
"Look at Prince Xiao, he's not as fond of men as the rumors say, he's clearly in a hurry!"
A minister who was drinking saw Yue Zhixiao hurriedly return to his room and couldn't help but joke with his colleague next to him.
"Hahaha, I think Prince Xiao and Lord Liu's daughter are a perfect match. They are a harmonious couple, a truly wonderful pair!"
It felt as if ants were crawling all over Yue Zhixiao's heart, making him wish he could fly back immediately. He didn't care what others were saying.
These days, rumors have indeed been circulating in the capital that Yue Zhixiao is fond of men. The person behind this is, of course, our Regent Prince, who is always vengeful. Those who have their eyes on Yan An will naturally receive some more interest.
Reputation is especially important for a person who is a member of the royal family. Even if he is not gay, if there are too many rumors, it may become true.
Yue Zhixiao no longer cared about these things. In the past, he would have torn these people to pieces. But today is different. He can now have offspring, and he seems to be addicted to this kind of thing.
Liu Xuening sat upright in the room. She wanted to escape, but she couldn't, because Yue Zhixiao had arranged for a nanny to watch over her. Just thinking about Yue Zhixiao made her tremble all over, and her palms were sweaty without her realizing it.
The door creaked open as Yue Zhixiao pushed it open.
"This old servant greets Your Highness."
"Go down."
When the old woman saw that the prince had arrived, she turned and left. When Liu Xuening heard that Yue Zhixiao had arrived, she shivered several times.
