When Chu Yan arrived with her entourage to serve the dishes, what she saw was Prince Yun happily playing with his wheelchair in the open space.
Li Mai and Zhou Quan sat to one side, smiling as they drank tea and watched the prince play.
Xu Che and Cheng Jianghai were also very happy; it was the first time they had seen Yun Wang so happy since he was injured.
He wasn't even this happy when he saw the wheelchair last time.
"Master, my father would like to invite you to the manor tomorrow, is that alright?" Chu Yan quietly sat down next to Li Mai and asked in a low voice.
Li Mai thought for a moment and shook her head. "It might not work. Why don't you ask Prince Yun?"
Chu Yan didn't understand, "Why ask the prince?"
"Because we'll be going back to the Prince Yun's residence with him for a few days soon."
"Why?" Chu Yan had too many questions.
"Healing the leg, but I don't want anyone to know that I treated the prince's leg, so I hope you won't ask," Li Mai said with a smile.
"But my father wants you, Master, to see our assessment as well," Chu Yan said helplessly.
"Where's your cousin? Did he say anything? Why don't you two arrange to meet up, and I'll make time to go another day?" Li Mai thought for a moment and decided to go after all. Using their Phoenix Jade Pendant to help Zhou Quan awaken his Fire Spirit Root was a great favor. Although she couldn't tell them directly, she still needed to give them a thank-you gift.
“Alright, then we’ll go to the Yunwang Mansion to invite you after we’ve set a date.” Chu Yan’s face lit up with joy when she saw that Li Mai had agreed.
Li Mai chuckled. This was just like a child, with his emotions written all over his face.
After the meal, Li Mai and Zhou Quan returned to the inn, checked out, and took their belongings. They boarded a carriage from the Yun Prince's Mansion and were taken there.
This matter did not attract anyone's attention.
The couple were settled in a small, exquisite courtyard closest to the main courtyard of the Prince of Yun. There was also a two-story pavilion in the courtyard, which was decorated very elegantly. The Prince of Yun was pushed by Xu Che to come and see the room himself and ask them if they needed anything.
Li Mai said everything was fine.
Yun Wang also wanted to arrange servants for them, but Li Mai refused, saying that she only needed someone to tell her where to eat every day and someone to bring her hot water on time.
The Prince of Yun listened to both of them and arranged for two people to serve them outside the courtyard, preparing water and delivering meals.
In the afternoon, in the main courtyard of the Cloud King, Li Mai, accompanied by Zhou Quan, personally examined the Cloud King's bones.
However, the King of Clouds was wearing a silk undergarment, which made it easier for Li Mai to examine his bones.
His spine and lumbar vertebrae were fine, but it was later discovered that there was a slight misalignment of the knee joint in his right leg.
In fact, Yun Wang's condition was not as serious as the rumors suggested. At least after Li Mai's examination, it was found that there was nothing wrong with the bone in his left leg. Later, when he returned, his left leg was still painful, which was probably due to a muscle and tendon strain.
When Yun Wang heard Li Mai say that there might be a cure, he was excited.
"Madam Zhou, I would like to ask, is it really impossible for ordinary doctors to diagnose my condition?" Prince Yun felt that if Li Mai could cure it, why were so many doctors helpless?
Li Mai thought for a moment and shook her head. "People who can't feel bones probably can't see the problem here. If my master were here, he should be able to feel the problem. I can't say for sure about others, since I haven't had much contact with other orthopedic doctors."
King Yun nodded thoughtfully and hummed in agreement.
"When will the treatment begin?" King Yun asked expectantly.
"Three days from now. During these three days, you will need to take a medicinal bath. I will write you a prescription in a little while and have someone go and get the medicine. When they bring it back, I will show it to you. We need to find a big pot to boil the medicine. You need to soak both your legs in it."
“Alright, Madam, please prescribe the medicine. I will personally take people to get it,” Xu Che quickly said.
Li Mai nodded, beckoned to Zhou Quan, and the couple went out to their courtyard to write the prescription. Xu Che followed them.
"Madam Zhou, if you can cure the Prince, aside from anything else, he will treat your family well for the rest of his life," Xu Che gently reminded Li Mai.
Li Mai turned to look at him, "What do you mean, young master?"
"I'm worried that if the news leaks out, and someone comes to you and prevents you from treating the prince, I hope you know what to do," Xu Che said in a low voice.
Li Mai smiled and said, "Don't worry, you won't see us the rest of the time, except when we're treating the prince."
Xu Che was relieved to hear this.
When Xu Che brought back the medicine, Li Mai added a spiritual herb to it and gave it to Xu Che, asking him to find someone to brew the medicinal soup.
When the decoction was ready, Li Mai personally inspected it. After confirming that there were no problems, he instructed Yun Wang to remove his lower body clothing and soak in the medicinal bath. Moreover, Yun Wang was not allowed to put his upper body into the medicinal bath.
This herbal decoction, with quinoa, is mainly for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, relaxing the muscles around the crooked knee joint bone to make it easier for her to get the bone set later.
After the herbal bath, you also need a massage.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
During these three days, Chu Yan and Zhong Hui visited their master once and made an appointment with Li Mai to pick her up on the fourth day to go to the Zhong residence, where they would undergo their family's assessment.
Another person, who claimed to be a concubine of the King of Yun, wanted to see Li Mai, but did not get to see Li Mai.
After Li Mai told Xu Che about this, she stopped caring about it and just went to give Yun Wang a medicinal bath and massage his knees and right leg every day.
She also performed acupuncture on his left leg, as these two legs were the most precious to a general.
Over three days, three plants of the medicinal herb quinoa were used.
I gave the Cloud King three bowls of spiritual spring water.
Although King Yun was curious as to why she would make him drink a bowl of water with a blade of grass soaking in it before going to bed every night, he knew she wouldn't harm him, so he obediently drank it every day.
