After watching the jailer leave, Xu Yuehuai could only take temporary measures to treat himself.
She dragged her injured body to the stone bed next to her, tore open her clothes, and used strips of cloth to wrap her visible wounds.
After doing all this, Xu Yuehuai waited in the prison for the imperial physician to come and treat her.
A short while later, the jailer finally brought the imperial physician over.
Xu Yuehuai saw that the other party was Physician Li, who had come last time, and greeted him with a smile.
"Doctor Li, we really are destined to meet again."
Seeing Xu Yuehuai's pale face yet still managing to laugh, Physician Li found it rather strange.
"Are you out of your mind? How did you get yourself into this state?"
"Who hurt you? You didn't stage this yourself, did you?"
Xu Yuehuai was speechless, and the smile on her face vanished instantly.
"How could I have staged this? I'm extremely afraid of pain, and there's no way I would have injured myself like this without a weapon!"
"Besides, when the jailer came over just now, the prison door was open. I don't have the key, so how could I have opened the door out of thin air?"
"If I could open the door, why would I still be obediently staying here? I would probably have already sneaked away by now!"
Upon hearing this, the jailer nodded and testified on Xu Yuehuai's behalf to Physician Li.
Physician Li didn't say anything more, and then came over with his medicine box to examine Xu Yuehuai's wound.
Seeing the extremely deep wounds on Xu Yuehuai's body made my scalp tingle.
Physician Li could tell at a glance that all of these wounds were sword wounds.
"Was someone really trying to assassinate you just now?"
"You fought with that person? Did he escape?"
Physician Li questioned Xu Yuehuai again, staring at her as he treated her wounds.
The jailer turned his back and stared in the direction of the corridor.
Xu Yuehuai pursed her lips and said, "That person wants my life, so of course I have to fight him to the death."
“I didn’t hit him, but thankfully the jailer heard the commotion and came nearby. When I shouted, he was afraid of being discovered, so he quickly ran away.”
Physician Li had finished treating Xu Yuehuai's back wound, and then asked Xu Yuehuai questions.
"Did you see what that person looked like?"
Do you know him?
"Is he a citizen of your Great Zhou Kingdom or the Mingyue Kingdom?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai pondered for a moment.
At that time, Xu Yuehuai heard that the black-clad man's accent was from the Mingyue Kingdom, but she could not rule out the possibility that the black-clad man was disguising his accent in order to make her believe that he was from the Mingyue Kingdom.
Therefore, Xu Yuehuai is still unable to determine which country that person is from, and she absolutely cannot reveal any details she knows about him when talking to this Physician Li.
What if Physician Li also had that person's companion by his side?
Xu Yuehuai was very cautious and did not tell the imperial physician Li the information she had received.
She said to Physician Li, "I don't know who that person is either!"
"He was dressed in black and masked. He tried to kill me right away without saying anything to me."
When Physician Li heard what Xu Yuehuai said, he shook his head helplessly and didn't ask any more questions.
Then, Physician Li quickly treated Xu Yuehuai's wounds, and soon all of them were bandaged up.
"Okay, I'll leave you some medicine. Change your dressing every day."
"And these are oral medications! Three pills each time, three times a day!"
Xu Yuehuai lay on the stone bed, glancing at Physician Li as he placed some medicine on the stone table beside him, looking somewhat puzzled.
She suddenly looked up at Physician Li and said, "Old man Li, I don't have any close relationship with you."
"Why are you being so kind to me? You even prescribed so much medicine for me!"
This is in prison, and Xu Yuehuai has not yet been cleared of suspicion. Yet, Physician Li left her so much medicine. He truly has the heart of a healer.
When Physician Li heard Xu Yuehuai call him "Old Man Li," he frowned slightly, then said, "It's only because the medicine and methods you gave me today were effective! They saved the little princess's life! That's why I was willing to come and help you!"
If Xu Yuehuai hadn't told Physician Li about those methods of saving lives, the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital might not have sent anyone to save Xu Yuehuai tonight.
This can be considered a case of good deeds being rewarded. Xu Yuehuai smiled and nodded to Physician Li: "Then I must thank Physician Li!"
Physician Li waved his hand and said, "If the little princess has any other questions, I will definitely come to see you again."
"It's so late now, but I've left you some sleeping pills. If your wound hurts, take some of these."
"You can rest well in this prison. If you really didn't poison the little princess and are innocent, I will testify for you."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai was somewhat moved, and she immediately thanked Physician Li again.
Physician Li did not stay long before turning around and leaving the prison.
The jailer glanced at Xu Yuehuai, but didn't linger. He tightly closed the prison door and quickly left.
Although Xu Yuehuai's wounds had been bandaged, the surroundings were still messy, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.
Just smelling those odors made Xu Yuehuai feel extremely uncomfortable.
However, she was in great pain from her injuries and her mind was foggy, so she needed to rest immediately to regain her energy.
Xu Yuehuai dragged the blanket next to her over and struggled to cover her back. She accidentally touched her wound and gasped in pain.
"Ouch~ That really hurts! If I find out who did this to me, I'll pay them back a thousand times over!"
Since arriving in this world, Xu Yuehuai has always been honest and upright, and has never done anything against her conscience.
But the world has been particularly unfair to her; so many people have always wanted to get rid of her.
Xu Yuehuai sighed helplessly as she thought about all of this.
She quickly calmed down and rested peacefully.
However, Xu Yuehuai fell asleep shortly afterward.
The night was exceptionally long and extremely cold, as if the entire world had fallen into an ice cellar, and the air was chilly.
Zhou Wan and the others slept in a warm room with a stove lit, but they all felt a little cold.
Suddenly, I thought of Xu Yuehuai, who was still in prison, and I became very worried about him. I wondered how he would get through such a cold night.
They also tried to find people in the prison, but there was no way to get the items in.
