While in the Xin Zhe Ku (a place for servants), Ah Xiang was often mocked and bullied because of her ugly face, which was scarred by fire, and she was also envied because she had once served the little princess.
She swallowed all the bitterness and bullying from everyone. As long as she could stay in the Laundry Department to gather information, she was willing to endure it all.
"A first-class palace maid has been reduced to the lowest-ranking servant. Let's see what you have left to be proud of!" A palace maid threw the nobles' dirty clothes into Ah Xiang's bucket.
"This is what the Imperial Concubine wanted. Wash it clean for me quickly, and I'll come to pick it up this afternoon!" The palace maid said arrogantly, looking down at her.
“These are your own clothes to wash, so wash them yourself!” Ah Xiang protested, tilting her head back.
Every palace maid in the Xin Zhe Ku (a place for washing clothes) has a lot of work to do. The amount of clothes she has to wash is almost piled up into a small hill, and she can't finish washing them even if she works day and night.
"You dare to talk back? You're no longer a first-class palace maid. What, are you still counting on the little princess to back you up?!" The palace maid looked at her with disdain.
"Look at yourself now!"
"That's right, what's with all the arrogance here!" With that, the palace maid poured a bucket of cold water meant for washing clothes over Ah Xiang's head without hesitation.
"Hahaha, look at her disheveled appearance!"
A chill ran through my heart.
"Anything else to say?" The palace maid asked defiantly, glancing smugly at the people around her.
"Oh dear, sister, stop talking now! Be careful they don't come back to cause trouble for us when they go back!" A palace maid tugged at the sleeve of the troublemaking maid with some concern.
"What's there to be afraid of?! We've already been sent to the Laundry Department, where we'll never see the light of day. Let's enjoy every day we can!"
"Besides, she made such a huge mistake, how could she possibly go back?!"
"Don't you even know what crime she committed? She almost killed the little princess!"
Ah Xiang lowered her head and bit her lip hard to stay silent. She couldn't afford to cause any more trouble. She would just have to endure it a little longer. As long as she found the murderer, she would leave this dark, damp, and filthy place.
"Waaaaah."
Hearing Yun Duoduo's voice, Ah Xiang's thoughts were pulled back.
Being able to return to the little princess's side today is already a blessing from heaven.
Yun Duoduo heard Ah Xiang's heartfelt words and was deeply moved.
【Oh, thank you so much, Aunt Xiang!】
Aunt Xiang, I will definitely heal your face!
Yun Duoduo secretly made up her mind to heal Aunt Xiang's face and find her a good family in the future. Such a good person deserves a good ending.
So, here comes the task: she needs a medicine box tonight and some medicine from it.
...
As darkness fell outside, the palace returned to silence.
Yun Duoduo lay on the bed, blinking her big eyes.
Baby time passes very slowly. Finally, night fell, and Yun Duoduo stared blankly at the bed curtains.
Granny Liu blew out the candles and left the bedchamber. Tonight, Ah Xiang will sleep in the bedchamber.
She listened intently to the sounds around her, and only after she heard Jin Jinzhi's even breathing and Aunt Xiang's even breathing did she feel reassured enough to begin her actions.
While lying in bed during the day, she had already made detailed and meticulous plans.
First, she needed some inhalable ether to knock Aunt Xiang unconscious, so that she wouldn't be startled awake by the cold ointment when she applied the medicine to her face.
Secondly, she needs some anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics.
When Aunt Xiang came over today, she noticed that besides the burns, there were many small cuts on her body, probably from when she was in the laundry department.
If these wounds are not treated promptly, they can easily become infected and inflamed, eventually leading to fever, which can become quite troublesome.
She also needs alcohol and iodine to clean and treat the wound.
Wow, for a young girl with short arms and legs like her, this is quite a big project!
Alright, now the medicine is starting to beg Grandpa Medicine Box.
She tiptoed off the bed and pulled out her cute, soft, pale yellow short jacket.
This was a garment given to her by her dear father; the hem of the short jacket was sewn with pearls, jade, and red agate.
It also features rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and crystals.
The wings of a small butterfly on her chest were outlined with tiny gold beads.
The shape of wheat ears was outlined in gold thread around the waist.
I overheard the old women chatting before, and they said there are a total of 130 jewels on this short jacket.
She has two sets of clothes with the color "Human Wealth and Nobility". Last time, in order to treat Jin Zhuangzhuang's illness, she exchanged seven black pearls from ladybugs for chlorpheniramine and promethazine.
this time……
Yun Duoduo hesitated for a moment, then decided to pluck the golden wheat ear off.
After prying off the golden ears of wheat, she gently placed them at the foot of the bed.
Then he knelt there, put his hands together, and muttered, "Medicine box, medicine box, there must be ointment for treating burns inside."
After waiting for a long time, there was still no movement at the foot of the bed.
[What's going on? Was the money not enough?]
Yun Duoduo was a little confused. She couldn't quite understand the characteristics of the medicine box, nor did she know what kind of medicine could be bought for how much money.
The medicine box seemed to appear and disappear at any time, and sometimes it could even take her back to her research room at the medical academy.
She was having trouble distinguishing between reality and dreams. Last time, her consciousness seemed to have returned to the Medical Academy, but she hadn't been able to bring any medicine with her.
How exactly does this first-aid kit work?
Having thoroughly read 72 time-travel novels and mastered 36 time-travel techniques, her mind was completely blank at this moment.
She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and prayed silently, "Medicine kit, medicine kit, please have medicine to treat scars!"
Ideally, it should contain silicone gel, which can be used to treat hypertrophic scarring caused by burns and scalds.
It can promote the metabolism of epithelial cells and promote epithelial repair.
With silicone gel, applying it to the scar daily, along with oral medication, Aunt Xiang's burns can definitely be cured.
She opened her eyes, full of anticipation, but there was nothing in the corner.
She looked at the corner of the wall with a long face, completely bewildered.
[Medicine kit, oh medicine kit, she really needs this silicone gel; she absolutely must heal Aunt Xiang's face.]
Is it because there isn't enough money?
Yun Duoduo frowned, pondered for a moment, and realized that the silicone gel might be more expensive than the chlorpheniramine for treating eczema. She took off the largest sapphire from her clothes and placed it at the foot of the bed.
[Medicine box, medicine box, old man, have you seen Duoduo's sincerity? I beg you, please give me medicine!]
She knelt on the bed, her little bottom resting on her own little feet, looking at the foot of the bed with a devout expression.
