"Yeah." Xuanyuan Qi didn't take the ointment, but looked at Ling Xiang steadily.
Ling Xiang put on a professional fake smile: "My Lord, is this all right?"
"I'm tired from fighting today and don't want to move. Please apply medicine for me." Xuanyuan Qi became more and more demanding.
The corners of Ling Xiang's mouth twitched. She picked up the ointment, scooped out a small piece, and applied it evenly on the bruises on Xuanyuan Qi's face. She pressed gently, fearing that this devil would cry out in pain and cause trouble again.
Xuanyuan Qi was enjoying it very much. He looked carefully at Ling Xiang's focused expression, and the upturned curve of his mouth became deeper and deeper.
After finally applying the medicine on Xuanyuan Qi's face, Ling Xiang spoke again: "Your Majesty, can I help you now?"
"I am also injured." Xuanyuan Qi said as he began to take off his clothes.
Ling Xiang made up her mind, it’s not like she hasn’t seen it before!
She was still very patient and applied medicine to Xuanyuan Qi.
Without waiting for Ling Xiang to speak, Xuanyuan Qi added, "I have injuries down there too."
Ling Xiang held the ointment and stared at Xuanyuan Qi without blinking, as if she would take action if he dared to take it off.
Xuanyuan Qi narrowed his eyes and asked, "How important is that man to you that he would make you compromise like this?"
"Your Majesty, who is so precious, doesn't feel wronged, so why should I feel wronged?" Ling Xiang said indifferently, "Your Majesty, are you still taking off your clothes?"
Xuanyuan Qi suddenly turned over and switched places with Ling Xiang. He held her under him and leaned closer.
Ling Xiang's eyes widened and he asked warily, "Prince, what are you doing?"
Xuanyuan Qi slowly lowered his head, held her breast with his big hand, and tightened it little by little.
"My lord, of course..." He smirked, suddenly snatched the ointment from her hand, stood up and let her go, "Of course you have to apply the ointment yourself, otherwise, wouldn't that let you take advantage of me?"
Ling Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and stood up immediately.
Before she could speak, Xuanyuan Qi took the initiative to speak: "Okay, considering that you have been so dedicated to treating my injuries, I will reluctantly help you get an ID card."
Ling Xiang left the portrait and name, "Thank you for your help, Your Highness. Goodbye."
Watching Ling Xiang leave, Xuanyuan Qi stroked the remaining warmth on the ointment and chuckled.
On this day, the genius doctor He Xun was beheaded outside the Meridian Gate. This incident caused a sensation in the capital, and countless people ran to the Meridian Gate to watch.
Ling Xiang went to the Meridian Gate early and waited.
"Back then, I wanted to ask the miraculous doctor He Xun to treat me, but who would have thought that, not long after, he would be beheaded."
"I heard that he poisoned someone in the palace. You can't judge a person by his appearance."
…
Amidst countless discussions, He Xun's prison van slowly drove over.
Listening to people's words of regret or contempt, He Xun looked back on his life and suddenly realized that, apart from his medical skills, he had achieved nothing...
Someone was the first to throw vegetable leaves at He Xun: "Down with the traitor!"
Immediately, others followed suit, and He Xun's prison van was soon submerged in rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs...
"Hahaha……"
He Xun didn't care at all. He laughed loudly and said, "I, He Xun, have saved countless people in my life. Even if I can't save myself, I won't give you the chance to kill me! Hahaha!"
When the onlookers were confused, He Xun's laughter stopped abruptly, then he closed his eyes and died.
Ling Xiang: ...
Isn’t this acting a bit exaggerated?
Yuan Zhengqing, who was escorting the prison van, immediately sent someone to check on He Xun's condition, and the result was that He Xun was dead.
There was a precedent in the Dajing Empire that if a death row prisoner died before execution, the empire would no longer carry out the death penalty. This meant that He Xun would not be beheaded again.
However, He Xun's crime was not light, and the order was issued by the emperor himself. His head was originally supposed to be hung for three days for public display. He died suddenly, and the emperor had to ask for instructions on how to deal with his body.
Yuan Zhengqing ordered to return to Shuntian Prefecture.
Just as Yuan Zhengqing's team was about to return to Shuntian Prefecture, a young man carrying a prepared coffin walked to the prison car, knelt down, and begged:
"Master Yuan! Mr. Yuan! My master has practiced medicine all his life, saving countless lives. But he made a mistake one day and has now committed suicide as a token of his gratitude to the world. I beg Master Yuan to show mercy and allow me to take my master's body back to his hometown for burial!"
As the man kowtowed "bang bang bang", countless people were moved.
Ling Xiang covered her lips and coughed.
Soon someone followed suit and pleaded, "Master Yuan, since his crimes cannot be concealed, let Dr. He's disciples collect his body."
…
There were more and more voices pleading for mercy. The prime minister's wife, who had been treated by He Xun and was originally there to see He Xun off, stood up when she saw this.
"Master Yuan, He Xun once cured my chronic illness and was my half-savior. But now he's dead. Why not let him rest in peace?"
Yuan Zhengqing said in a loud voice: "I will report your statements to His Majesty truthfully!"
Upon learning that so many people had pleaded for He Xun, the emperor, although dissatisfied with He Xun's suicide and not receiving the punishment he deserved, could not lose the people's support, so he considered it for a moment and said:
"Lord Yuan, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Yuan Zhengqing suddenly remembered the story of shaving one's head in place of one's own head, which Ling Xiang had mentioned when they met him the day before, and he told it to the emperor.
After hearing this, the emperor was very happy and said: "That's it."
So, after Yuan Zhengqing returned, he cut off a lock of He Xun's hair and hung it at the Meridian Gate, and then handed He Xun's body to his apprentice in public.
His disciples expressed their gratitude profusely, shouting, "Your Majesty is merciful, and Master Yuan is wise!"
Although the crowded crowd has dispersed a lot, there are still many people who are closely following the follow-up of the He Xun incident.
His apprentice took He Xun's body away, put it in a coffin, and sent it out of the capital.
From then on, the story of the miracle doctor He Xun came to an end.
That night, He Xun's apprentice settled in a dilapidated temple. After setting up restrictions, he took off the mask, revealing the face of the fifth sister-in-law.
"Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Yun." Ling Xiang had already arrived secretly. She opened the coffin with her and fed He Xun the antidote.
Not long after, He Xun opened his eyes, sat up from the coffin, saw Ling Xiang, and asked, "Am I really still alive?"
Ling Xiang: "What else? Are we going to die with you?"
He Xun pinched his face, the pain made him very happy, and he immediately knelt down: "Thank you for saving my life, Master."
Ling Xiang: "Can you change your face?"
He Xun shook his head. "I can't change my appearance, but as long as I can survive, I can destroy this face!"
He Xun did what he said, forming his five fingers into claws and grabbing his face hard.
"That's not necessary." Ling Xiang waved her hand to stop him. "I don't want an ugly guy following me around."
Aunt Yun had already made preparations and took out the tools for plastic surgery: "Lie down and close your eyes."
"Master?" He Xun was puzzled.
Ling Xiang: "You're lucky. My Aunt Yun is a master of disguise. It won't be difficult for her to give you a permanent face. I suggest you talk to Aunt Yun and say something nice. If she's in a good mood, she might be able to give you a face that's ten times prettier than before..."
