Chapter 15 Beauty Saves the Hero
She walked calmly and spoke calmly, without showing any sign of panic, which made people trust her more.
Zhao Tong saw that the imperial physician would not arrive for a while, so he gritted his teeth and agreed, "Then I'll trouble you... Madam Xi."
He didn't know Qingwu's current situation, nor did he know who her husband was, so he just called her Madam Xi.
But how could Prince Ning be willing to have a doctor treat Xiao Ji? He wanted to delay any longer, and hurriedly said, "How can you trust a girl? In my opinion, we should wait a little longer. The imperial physician is on his way."
The King of England could not help but look at Qing Wu with suspicion, "Madam Xi grew up in the countryside, so her medical skills should not be as good as those of the imperial doctors..."
But Qingwu did not avoid his gaze. Instead, she looked back at him. She was not angry because of his words. She just glanced at him and then lowered her eyes lazily.
Somehow, Xiao Ting read a hint of disdain to argue with him in it.
Both princes tried to stop them, but Zhao Tong wanted Qingwu to give it a try even more, and he even began to doubt the two imperial doctors.
When Zhao Tong came, he had already thought of the various reasons that led to the prince's fall from his horse. The two princes were naturally the main suspects, so he insisted on letting Qingwu give it a try. After all, the sister of His Highness's concubine was always more trustworthy than Prince Ning.
After several people discussed and made a decision, Xiao Ji finally reacted. He gasped and refused intermittently, "I'm fine. I'm going back to Beijing now..."
He struggled to get up, but unexpectedly Qingwu pushed him down.
"Your Highness, do not move."
The bright smile she had outside Shanglin Garden was gone from her face. She looked calm and solemn, which made people fall silent when they saw her.
But Xiao Ji was still thinking about his teacher, so he tried to force himself to stand up again. However, before he could get off the ground, Qing Wu pressed him down with one hand.
Feeling the force coming from his body, and looking at that "delicate" little hand, even though the excruciating pain occupied most of Xiao Ji's mind, a trace of doubt flashed through his mind... Could this be the strength of a girl? It must be because of his current injury.
However, realizing that he could not escape, Xiao Ji forced himself to calm down.
Seeing that the injured person finally stopped struggling, Qingwu breathed a sigh of relief.
As expected, grandma was foresighted. She not only taught her medical skills but also let her practice martial arts, saying that she could "subdue people with force" if she encountered uncooperative patients in the future.
It's a pity that she doesn't have much talent in martial arts. After years of practicing martial arts, she is only a little more agile and can beat two flower thieves. The effect is basically to strengthen her body.
Seeing that the prince's face was getting paler and his breath was getting weaker, Qing Wu quickly knelt down and massaged his Baihui acupoint to help him wake up and prevent him from fainting.
In an instant, Xiao Ji felt that everything he saw was pink and white. A plump jade wrist stretched out across and a faint medicinal fragrance invaded his nose.
The hand pressed heavily on his forehead, and Xiao Ji could clearly feel the softness of the fingertips, circle after circle...
His mind should have been getting clearer, but he felt a little groggy, and even the pain in his body seemed to be gradually fading away.
Is he really going to die?
Xiao Ji was lost in thought for a moment.
"Huh...why is there no effect..."
Hearing this muttering, Xiao Ji unconsciously pursed his lips, his eyes wandering and not daring to look her in the eye, but the girl at the head leaned down even lower and asked in a gentle voice:
"Your Highness, how do you feel? Where does it hurt the most?"
Qingwu did this because she was afraid that the prince couldn't hear her, and secondly to better observe the changes in his pupils. However, she didn't know how her simple action would appear in Xiao Ji's eyes.
Her face was only two fists away from him at this moment. This extremely beautiful face was now clearly visible in front of him. Xiao Ji could even feel the warmth emanating from her when she spoke.
The prince's newly clear eyes instantly lost focus. He felt himself surrounded by fragrance, almost embraced by her. Realizing this, his mind unconsciously became confused again.
Did he really have a brain injury?
However, the next second, the jade wrist moved, and his philtrum was suddenly pressed. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's eyes suddenly became clear, and the confused thoughts in his mind disappeared, and he no longer felt dizzy.
The girl is beautiful, but also very strong.
Because of this shock, Xiao Ji's mind finally became much clearer, and he deeply realized that his injuries were indeed serious. If he continued to be willful, his life might be in danger. He had to stay alive to have a chance to return to the capital.
After thinking this through, Xiao Ji began to try his best to feel the pain in his body. When he focused on experiencing the pain, the pain came like a tidal wave. He couldn't help but gasp, and after a moment he managed to say:
"Arms...legs..."
Qing Wu quickly touched the side of his arm that was stained with grass juice. She gently pressed and moved it, asking, "Does it hurt here?"
Xiao Ji shook his head slightly, and Qing Wu moved down again, still asking questions, until the entire arm was palpated. No unusual displacement was detected, and Xiao Ji did not react strongly, so she quickly changed position and placed her hand on the prince's hip.
She concentrated on checking the body of her subordinate, but did not see any trace of color gradually appear on the originally pale face of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"It's probably not my arm. It was just sore from the shock of landing..."
Qingwu didn't notice anything unusual, and continued to examine the prince inch by inch according to the previous method. When he pressed on his femur (near the buttocks), his body trembled noticeably.
She hurriedly looked at Xiao Ji and asked, "But it hurts so much here?"
Who would have thought that the young man would purse his lips and remain silent, his cheeks flushed. Qing Wu's heart suddenly sank. Why is his face red? This doesn't seem like a good sign...
Seeing Qing Wu's expression change, Zhao Tong asked anxiously, "Is there something unusual?" When his eyes fell on Xiao Ji's face, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Oh, your highness's face is red!"
The eunuch's voice was already sharper than that of an ordinary person, and it was quite loud at this time, which attracted everyone's attention to Xiao Ji's face. Seeing that his face was "abnormally red", they were all more horrified.
“This is…this is…?”
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please don't let anything happen to you!"
The prince's personal guards were so frightened that they howled loudly, the young strong man's eyes were filled with tears, and even Qingwu was a little surprised and confused.
Could it be a brain hemorrhage? That shouldn't be the case. If his head had hit the ground, he should have fainted by now...
After hearing from everyone that he blushed again and caused such a big misunderstanding, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was lying on the ground, couldn't help but close his eyes. He wanted to die on the spot. Why did he act as if he had never seen the girl before?
Besides, the girl was seriously examining him, so why should he blush? Xiao Ji reflected and despised himself in his heart, but his actions were even more horrifying in the eyes of others.
His eyes are closed and his cheeks are abnormally red. Doesn't this mean he's about to die?
Even King Ning was scared this time. They didn't want to kill Xiao Ji. If Xiao Ji died, even if he was not involved in this matter, he would still be suspected and have a bad reputation.
When the other guards of the crown prince saw their master like this, the tears in their eyes flowed out directly. They fell to their knees on the ground and cried loudly.
"Your Highness, you can't abandon us like this..."
"Your Highness! Your Highness! Wuwuwuwu..."
Seeing that the guards had begun to cry, Xiao Ji was afraid that if he didn't speak up, he would really be cursed to death. He immediately opened his eyes and forced himself to curse, "Don't cry!"
But he was already weak, and his "scold" sounded like a dying word to others. Not only did the guards cry, but Zhao Tong couldn't help but cover his eyes and tears flowed down.
"Your Highness... How can I live without you..."
Seeing this, Qing Wu directly felt Xiao Ji's pulse and said after two breaths: "Don't worry, His Highness hasn't..."
Meeting Xiao Ji's relatively clear eyes, Qing Wu stopped the word "dead" in time and changed it to "still alive."
Xiao Ji, who was "still alive", didn't want to be embarrassed anymore, so he forced himself to suppress his shyness and took the initiative to cooperate with Qing Wu in the examination.
"My... shin..."
After a while, the most painful part of Xiao Ji's body gradually became apparent. Most of the other parts of his body were in trembling pain, but his calves were in excruciating pain.
Upon hearing this, Qing Wu immediately gave up checking his thigh and hip bones, and quickly moved his hand to his calf. As soon as his hand touched it, Xiao Ji cried out in pain and gasped heavily.
Qing Wu knew this was the place. She quickly said to the guards, "Carefully lift His Highness's calf and take off his shoes and socks."
With the help of everyone, Xiao Ji took off his shoes and socks. The moment his trousers were rolled up, everyone around him couldn't help but gasp.
The middle of the originally fair and strong calf had turned a faint red, and there was an obvious bulge and an abnormal curve. Qingwu knew the result with just one glance.
"This is a broken bone. The limb needs to be stabilized. Do you have any hard objects like wood, bamboo, branches, etc.? And some cloth?"
Zhao Tong nodded quickly, and the guards around him didn't even bother to wipe their tears. Some broke their sticks, some tore their clothes.
Seeing that they were in good order, Qing Wu looked at Xiao Ji and gently instructed, "We will fix your knees and ankles later. Your Highness, please be patient and don't move around."
Her voice was soft and pleasant, and her tone was gentle, like coaxing a child. Xiao Ji couldn't help but tilt his face, unconsciously pursed his lips, and thought to himself:
Why should I coax him like that? He's not that child...
He wanted to avoid answering, but his body was more honest than his heart.
Seeing the prince nod obediently, Qing Wu couldn't help but smile and said, "That's great, I'll bandage you..."
She turned her head to stabilize his lower limbs, but she didn't see that the young prince behind her was in pain with cold sweat on his forehead, but there was a faint blush on the tips of his ears.
