Chapter 10 Ye Qianning's plan succeeds
There was no sound in the room. The princess wanted to push the door open several times but was afraid of disturbing the doctor. She waited outside the door for more than an hour before it was finally opened.
"Doctor, what's wrong?" the princess asked anxiously.
"The multiple pustules on the little princess's body have been treated. Now we just need to collect all the herbs on the prescription and apply them for a few days, and the rashes on the little princess's body will scab over." The fourth grandmother's tone was as steady as an old doctor, and she handed her the crooked prescription in her hand.
The princess was delighted when she heard this: "Quick, send someone to buy medicine."
The maid took the prescription, turned around and left quickly.
The princess walked to the bedside and gently stroked the little princess's forehead: "Xiang'er."
The little princess closed her eyes tightly.
"Doctor, what's going on?" The princess paused.
"Don't panic, Princess. It's extremely painful when the silver needle pricks the abscess. I'm afraid the little princess can't bear it, so let her sleep for a while. She will wake up in a while." said the fourth grandmother.
The princess heaved a sigh of relief and stood up. "The doctor will stay at the mansion for the next few days. Once my daughter's strange rash is completely healed, the prince will surely reward her handsomely."
This is exactly what Ye Qianning meant, but the fourth wife was anxious.
"Living in the mansion? That's not possible..."
"What?" The princess became a little alert when she saw her refuse.
"Princess, it's not that we don't want to, but my granddaughter and I came to Kyoto to look for our relatives. The government asked us to wait for news in the inn. If we stay in the palace, our relatives won't be able to find us in the inn, and we'll get separated again." The fourth grandmother was in a dilemma.
"So that's how it is. You don't have to worry about that. I'll send someone to inform the inn and ask them to come to Prince Changyang's Mansion to look for someone." The princess said and waved to the maid.
The maid immediately understood: "I will go now."
"But……"
"Doctor, please don't refuse. My daughter is suffering from a strange rash. If there is any condition after she wakes up, she will need a doctor's care." The princess interrupted the fourth mother-in-law's refusal.
Having said that, even if Fourth Granny was reluctant, she had no choice but to stay at the palace.
The maid brought the two to the guest room and reminded them again and again that if the little princess felt unwell, someone would come to ask for them, and that they should stay in the room at other times and not walk around the mansion at will.
The fourth wife looked at the maidservant going away with a worried look on her face: "This means we are locked up in the palace."
"The little princess's rash has not healed yet, so they will not let us leave. Just stay here with peace of mind, Fourth Aunt." The plan was very successful, and Ye Qianning felt relieved.
It will take at least ten days or half a month for the little princess's rash to scab and fall off, which should be enough time for her to create some space.
"Fatty, does your prescription really work or is it just nonsense?" The fourth wife was unsure.
"Of course it works."
"How do you treat a rash?"
"Didn't many children in the village next door have rashes? The county government sent several doctors. To treat the rashes, we had to go up the mountain to collect herbs. It was Grandpa Wei and I who led the way for them. Once we got to the mountain, the doctors told us how to distinguish the herbs and their uses. I wrote them all down." Ye Qianning began to talk based on his memory.
The fourth grandmother remembered that this was the case and could not help but praise her: "I didn't expect you to have such a good memory. You scared me just now."
"Just live here with good food and drink, and we won't be able to escape the one hundred taels." Ye Qianning said with a smile.
"I don't care about the money, but what if your father comes to pick you up and can't find you?" Fourth Granny is not someone who is greedy for money.
"Didn't the princess just say that someone would be guarding it?"
