Chapter 4: Applying Medicine

Jun Zechen carefully held Su Jingyao and slowly walked into Xiyan Palace.

Miaoyun and the other four saw their master being carried back from a distance, and their faces instantly showed expressions of worry.

"Your servant greets His Highness, Master."

"Get up." Jun Zechen's voice was low and steady.

He held Su Jingyao in his arms and walked towards the bedroom.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Miaoyue, who was always outspoken, followed closely behind and asked anxiously, her eyes full of concern.

"It's nothing, I just accidentally rubbed my leg while riding a horse."

Su Jingyao's voice was very soft, so soft that it seemed like a gust of wind could blow it away.

Her face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood, and her slightly trembling lips revealed the pain she was feeling at the moment.

However, she still tried hard to force a smile, wanting to comfort the people in front of her.

Jun Zechen looked at her pretending to be strong, his lips tightly pursed, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.

She always seemed to be thinking about others, both Yue'er and her maids.

Even though you are hurt, you don't let others feel sad about it.

Su Jingyao was gently placed on the bed. She endured the pain, raised her head slightly, and her eyes fell on Jun Zechen's cold face.

"Your Highness, it's all my fault today. I disturbed your and my sister's mood. I will ask Nanny Lin to apply medicine to me later. I believe I will get better in a few days. Please go and accompany my sister."

Her voice was soft but firm, as if she was talking about something very normal.

Jun Zechen listened to her considerate words and his brows wrinkled slightly, forming the shape of the Chinese character "川".

He was puzzled as to why Su Jingyao, as the eldest daughter of the Su family, was so calm and gentle that it made people feel distressed.

"Madame Lin, do you know any medicine? I'll send someone to get you a royal physician."

There was an unquestionable firmness in Jun Zechen's voice.

"Your Highness, Nanny Lin has taken good care of my health since I was young. Although she is not an expert in medicine, she knows some medical knowledge. Also, my skin is very tender, so I have always used special ointments to apply it." Su Jingyao's voice was still gentle.

Jun Zechen did not refute, which meant he agreed with her.

He had never seen how tender a woman's skin could be, but he was curious and suspicious when he saw that the young woman's legs were so rubbed from riding a horse that she couldn't walk.

Is it really that badly worn?

If it weren't for the inconvenience caused by her injuries, he would have definitely seen it with his own eyes.

"Master, Nanny Lin is currently selecting herbs for your medicinal bath in three days. I will go and call her over now." Miaoxue said softly.

Su Jingyao nodded slightly, "Go ahead."

Her medicinal baths had now been changed to once every five days, and three days later would be the fifth day.

After a while, Nanny Lin came hurriedly with a bottle of ointment in her hand.

The recipe of this ointment was left by a female healer back then. At that time, Nanny Lin also learned some basics from the female healer.

Later, she made some adjustments to the prescription according to Su Jingyao's skin condition.

Today, this ointment can not only repair scars quickly, but also leave no scars, and is extremely suitable for your skin type.

The injured part of Su Jingyao's body was quite private. Seeing that Jun Zechen had no intention of avoiding her, she blushed slightly.

Su Jingyao lowered her head slightly and said softly: "Your Highness, I am going to prepare the medicine, you ..."

When Jun Zechen heard this, a barely perceptible embarrassment flashed across his stern face. He was thinking about something just now and didn't pay attention for a moment.

He turned around quickly and walked towards the warm room next door, his steps seemed a little hurried.

The reason why I went to the Nuan Pavilion next door was just to make sure she was okay. After all, it was Yue'er who hurt her.

When Nanny Lin saw the prince leave, she hurried forward, her face full of unconcealable heartache.

The person in front of her is the young lady whom she has watched grow up since she was a child.

"Master, Miaoxue has already told me everything. Please take off your underwear and let me take a good look."

Nanny Lin spoke softly, with a hint of anxiety in her voice.

Su Jingyao showed no signs of sympathy in front of Nanny Lin. She moved her body carefully, fearing that any big movements would pull on the wound.

Then he slowly and carefully avoided the wound and gently took off his pants, leaving only the white shorts.

The slender and white beautiful legs are revealed unreservedly at this moment, as delicate as mutton-fat white jade.

Su Jingyao moved her body slightly, moved carefully towards the inside of the bed, and then gently opened her legs.

Nanny Lin stared at her blood-soaked skin, her brows tightly wrinkled, with emotions of heartache and anger intertwined on her face.

She was of course aware that the prince did not touch the young lady last night, and she was already dissatisfied with the prince. Today, the young lady came back with injuries, which really made her distressed and angry.

Her daughter deserves the best man in the world, but the prince doesn't know how to cherish her!

"How could you be injured so badly? Master, your delicate skin must not be ridden again in the future."

Nanny Lin said this with much care, the concern in her eyes was like the warm sunshine in winter.

The Su family held the young lady in their hands, treating her like a treasure.

Even without the prince's favor, my lady can still live a good life.

Moreover, the young lady is so beautiful and kind-hearted, the prince really has no taste.

"Mammy, I'm really fine." Su Jingyao's voice was gentle, like a breeze, gently caressing people's hearts.

Nanny Lin gently took out the ointment. Her movements were extremely gentle, and she carefully applied the ointment on Su Jingyao's wound.

The ointment was icy and cool, like a stream of clear spring water. The burning pain on the inner thigh was gradually relieved by the ointment, and a look of relaxation appeared on Su Jingyao's face.

Nanny Lin carefully noticed the bruises at the base of Su Jingyao's legs, and she increased the strength in her hands slightly.

"Ah." Su Jingyao was caught off guard and cried out softly in surprise.

Her brows were slightly wrinkled and her lips were slightly pursed, and her look made people feel pity for her.

Jun Zechen, who had been sitting quietly outside, heard the call of the young girl inside the house. He moved suddenly, stood up and walked hurriedly towards the house.

"What's wrong? Should I call the imperial physician for you?"

There was a hint of urgency in Jun Zechen's voice, and as he spoke, he quickly walked to the bed.

However, when his eyes fell on the little girl, his breathing couldn't help but stop.

The girl's clothes were disheveled, her pale shoulders were exposed, and her long hair fell on her chest like a waterfall.

And her beautiful, white and smooth legs were slightly open at this moment.

Jun Zechen's eyes were instantly attracted, and he froze in place for a moment, his mind going blank.

Su Jingyao had never expected Jun Zechen to suddenly come in. Her face was full of surprise. She opened her mouth slightly and cried out in surprise: "Ah."

Then he hurriedly crossed his legs and pulled the quilt over his legs tightly.

Jun Zechen suddenly came back to his senses, his expression instantly became a little unnatural, he coughed lightly, trying to cover up his embarrassment.

"I thought your injury was serious, so I came in to check on you. If it is too serious, I will call a royal doctor for you."

He didn't dare to linger on it any longer, but glanced around the room pretending to be calm.

Su Jingyao's pretty face was flushed with blush, and she lowered her head as shame surged into her heart like a tide.

"Your Highness, I'm fine. I just have some blood and bruises on the wound. Just now, Nanny Lin used a little force to rub the bruises away, and that's why..."

Jun Zechen had not come into contact with many women. He knew that women in the capital were always gentle and cunning, and his father's harem was full of scheming women.

They appear to be pitiful and innocent on the surface, but in secret they are as vicious as snakes and kill people without blinking an eye.

He originally thought that the woman in front of him was nothing special, but at this moment, he felt a trace of heartache that he himself had not even noticed.

He stared at Su Jingyao, her watery and innocent eyes were like a pool of clear spring water, without the slightest impurity, just staring straight at him.

It was so pure that it seemed as if I could look through his eyes and see his deepest thoughts.

Jun Zechen's heartbeat involuntarily quickened a few beats, and he quickly looked away.

This woman seemed to hit every spot that annoyed him, but he just couldn't feel disgusted. Instead, a strange feeling spread in his heart.

After two days of knowing each other, Jun Zechen also knew that Su Jingyao liked to report good news but not sorrow, and was the type of person who would hold back on saying anything.

I was afraid that she was seriously injured but was deliberately hiding it.

and.....

A hint of darkness flashed across the depths of Jun Zechen's eyes.

He took a step forward with his long legs and walked straight to the bed. Upon seeing this, Nanny Lin quickly stepped aside.

Su Jingyao's eyes were slightly moist due to the pain at this moment. She looked at him in confusion, not knowing what he was going to do.

"Your Highness..."

Her voice is soft, sweet and touching.

Jun Zechen sat down beside the bed, reached out, gently lifted the quilt, and then carefully placed her legs on his body.

Then, Jun Zechen wanted to spread her legs apart.

However, Su Jingyao's body involuntarily became stiff because of his action, and her legs were tightly clasped together.

"I just wanted to check on your injuries."

Jun Zechen stared at Su Jingyao with deep eyes, his gaze firm.

Su Jingyao bit her red lips lightly, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly spread her legs.

There was a hint of shyness in her eyes, and her gaze involuntarily shifted away, not daring to look him in the face.

Jun Zechen's gaze focused on the wound on the inside of the young woman's body. As she said, it was already covered with traces of blood and bruises.

Are all these young ladies from noble families as delicate and fragile as she is?

Jun Zechen's big hands held Su Jingyao's calves, which felt as smooth as silk and so addictive that he was reluctant to let go.

His expression was slightly dazed at that moment.

Su Jingyao blinked her clear eyes, and her legs began to struggle gently, trying to break free from his restraints.

However, the strength in Jun Zechen's hands gradually increased unknowingly.

"pain……"

Su Jingyao's tone was full of grievance, her lips were tightly pursed, and her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if she was trying her best to endure the pain.

Jun Zechen heard her cry of pain, suddenly came to his senses, and quickly let go of her legs.

"Please let the nanny continue to apply medicine for you. I still have some government affairs to take care of, so I will leave now."

"Yes, Your Highness, take care."

After Jun Zechen turned and left, Nanny Lin continued to apply medicine to her gently.

After finishing, Su Jingyao lay leisurely on the bed, closing her eyes and resting.

Today's events were far beyond her expectations.

The corners of Su Jingyao's mouth lifted up slightly, almost imperceptibly, as if she was smiling, recalling today's wonderful performance.

She really enjoyed her performance in today's play.

Since Jun Zechen likes simple and kind-hearted women, she will naturally create an image of being innocent, weak, innocent and pure-hearted in front of him.

Su Jingyao stroked her hair gently, with a playful gleam in her eyes.

She wanted to make Jun Zechen fall in love with her, a pure and kind girl, and then unexpectedly let him discover her vicious nature.

How interesting.

She couldn't wait to witness Jun Zechen's expression at that time.

Human nature is evil, she just let it go.

Is she bad?

It doesn't matter, as long as she is happy.

Ling Yue and Jun Zechen met in the best years of their lives, far away from the chaos and calculations of the Great Wall.

Does Jun Zechen really love Ling Yue? Su Jingyao doesn't think so.

He grew up in the intrigues of the harem, but he possessed extraordinary intelligence.

Although he had the protection of the empress, he still suffered from the open and secret attacks of many concubines, so Jun Zechen hated those women who looked weak but had a heart as vicious as a snake.

Having been with the Empress for a long time, he began to dislike the Emperor's harem.

In his high-spirited youth, he was lucky enough to meet Ling Yue, a free, cheerful, unrestrained and uninhibited woman in the frontier.

Being with Ling Yue made him extremely happy and he felt more relaxed than ever before. His love for her seemed natural.

After returning to the capital, Jun Zechen's sincerity and enthusiasm as a teenager made him promise "one couple".

However, the capital city is a place where the Crown Princess has not been pregnant for two years. No matter the Emperor, ministers or people will allow their crown prince to be without a successor.

The original promise was like an illusory bubble, blown away by the wind.

Because of his stereotyped impression of Beijing women, Jun Zechen is always wary of many ladies from wealthy families and is unwilling to take the trouble to get to know them. Naturally, no one can enter his heart.

After becoming emperor, he had to select beauties and had to get close to the ladies from prominent families whom he once disliked.

When a woman tries to capture a man's heart, Jun Zechen, as an insider, truly understands the situation his father was in.

He will find it difficult to read these women.

But....you don't need to understand it.

As time went by, he gradually became hard-hearted and grew into a cold-blooded, arrogant emperor who was at the top of everyone else.

The love of youth is fleeting like a flash in the pan.

In the following decades, Lingyue's unbridled unruliness, unreasonableness and shouting became so absurd and ridiculous.

What he needed was a queen who could help him manage the harem, not just Ling Yue as a wife.

Su Jingyao pondered the ending of the hero and heroine in the book, and at this moment she felt that Jun Zechen was more likable.

Although the promise of a couple to be together for life has not been fulfilled, the sincerity and desire when the promise was made are invaluable.

People are always changing. Time can reshape a person's appearance and make him or her unrecognizable.

Su Jingyao didn't know what she would become, so she set a small goal for herself.

Ascend the throne of Queen.

She wanted to stand at the highest point and enjoy the unique scenery.

Love is all illusion, and justice is all fantasy woven by the weak.

So she doesn't want love, nor does she need justice.

The victor does not ask about the means, but only the results.
