In the afternoon, Elder Yang also took the opportunity to grab Yun Chang and leave to cultivate.
On the morning of the third day, Li Mai treated the prince's wounds again, this time with the aim of removing the scars and restoring the prince's face to its former state.
It still took an hour, and everyone watched in astonishment as the scar on the prince's face disappeared without a trace.
This time, the Crown Prince was once again made unconscious by Li Mai's medicine. She was afraid that if the Crown Prince became emperor in the future, he would have some psychological trauma when he remembered the scene of her treating his face. So she thought it would be better to let him sleep and wake up and everything would be over.
Of course, this idea could not be spoken of. Li Mai only said that the treatment was very painful and that she was afraid that if the prince moved his face in pain, it would affect the healing of the wound.
Yun Chang knew the reason, but didn't say anything, cooperating with her younger sister.
He also didn't want the Crown Prince to stare at Li Mai for an hour.
No one knows what will happen, but he is very clear about how beautiful his sister is.
After all, he started out as her patient, then fell in love with her, and after unrequited love, they became like siblings.
After the treatment, Li Maihe went back to rest with Zhou Quan by his side.
The crown prince did not wake up until an hour later.
When he saw that there was truly no trace left on his face, the Crown Prince sighed deeply. In the past few days, he felt as if he had been reborn.
He discussed it with Yun Chang, and they decided that he would continue to wear the mask and return to the capital to see what else they might do behind the scenes.
The best hunters always appear as the prey to win the final prize.
He let them believe that he was really disfigured, and he looked forward to the day when they would be surprised.
Li Mai and Zhou Quan returned to their tent, just as it was time for dinner. The Crown Prince ordered someone to bring them food, and they did not disturb the couple's meal.
After lunch, Zhou Quan accompanied Li Mai for an hour's rest. In the afternoon, Chu Yan and Zhong Hui led them directly out of the camp and went to the town they had just captured to play for the afternoon.
It must be said that Yun Chang was a true general who defended the country and its people. Wherever his troops passed, the buildings were basically undamaged, and only the streets were being cleaned up.
There were also Song Dynasty troops patrolling.
They strolled around for a while and found a teahouse to have some tea.
The tea was bad, the snacks were unappetizing, and the prices were ridiculously high, so there were hardly any customers.
They strolled around, showing Li Mai what the town looked like after the war. There was a river nearby, and Chu Yan took them to play by the river for a while.
Originally, Zhou Quan had planned to take them fishing, but as soon as he waved his hand, more than a dozen large carp appeared on the shore.
This made Chu Yan very happy, and she said that they would have fish to eat tonight.
You can save on fishing.
Chu Yan and Zhong Hui picked some willow branches and hung up each fish, then returned to their tent.
Seeing them return carrying more than a dozen fish, the prince smiled, "We've got fish to eat."
Zhou Quan's lips curled up slightly. While they were by the river, he had Li Mai secretly put a few fish into his spatial storage. After returning home, he wanted to eat the fish that Li Mai had cooked.
But here, he wouldn't let Xiaomai cook for so many people.
That evening, Yun Chang took Li Mai and Zhou Quan to the rear camp area and asked Li Mai to take out the things.
After confirming that everything in the space had been taken out, Li Mai, Zhou Quan, and Yun Chang bid farewell and went to Elder Yang's tent. The three of them left immediately and soon returned to their residence in Qing Shi Town.
That night, Elder Yang stayed at the Li residence. Li Mai gave him another spiritual herb, and Elder Yang went back to cultivate behind closed doors.
When spiritual energy is depleted and then replenished in time, it is easy to improve one's cultivation level. Elder Yang should seize this opportunity.
After Li Mai and the others left, Yun Chang called over a few people to guard the area before going to tell the Crown Prince about the matter.
However, he said that Li Mai and the others bought it for them when they came, and it had just been delivered.
The crown prince hurriedly followed him to see, and upon seeing so much pork, rice, and medicinal herbs, the crown prince exclaimed, "The divine physician truly has the world in his heart."
Yun Chang smiled and said, "My sister said that this was bought with silver bestowed by the Emperor. In a way, it is also a blessing from the Emperor."
The Crown Prince remained silent for a long time. "I know. I will pay the cost of the treatment for me and Zhong Hui and the money for the spiritual liquid and medicine after we return to the capital. I will not renege on my debt."
Yun Chang smiled but didn't say anything.
When the generals arrived after receiving the news, they were overjoyed to see so much pork, rice, and herbs.
"Your Highness, can't we just have a proper Mid-Autumn Festival?"
“Yes, for the Mid-Autumn Festival, with this meat, plus the meat and vegetables we bought, everyone can have a couple of dishes. Tomorrow, have the kitchen staff start processing the meat, and render the lard too, so we can have some oil even if we don’t usually get to eat meat. Stew the bones with the meat, just for a while.” Yun Chang agreed, and everyone cheered.
"Go and call the army doctor to take inventory of the medicinal herbs and put them on the books. This is someone's support for us. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, we will attack Chendu." Yun Chang gave the order, and everyone immediately responded.
The prince looked up at the moon in the sky, which was missing a small tooth, and sighed, "Is it finally going to end?"
It seems he'll be able to return to Beijing for the Chinese New Year this year.
***
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, August 15th, Qing Shi Town was bustling with activity this year, because a fashion show that no one had ever heard of before was to be held this afternoon in the town's famous Guiyuan Garden.
Zhou Heng, Pei Jingyue, and Xiu, as the organizers, arrived early in the morning to check on the setup.
Guiyuan is a garden belonging to the Lu family, and can also be considered a separate courtyard. It is usually only looked after by servants, and relatives of the Lu family will be arranged to stay here when they come to visit.
