474 Curing the Fox’s Stench
Su Sanlang nodded. “Okay.”
Su Sanlang did not ask further. He just hugged Madam Zhao quietly.
The couple snuggled up to each other without saying a word.
Madam Zhao felt at ease. Perhaps because she was too tired last night, she fell asleep not long after.
This time, she was really asleep.
Su Sanlang had not slept all night and only relaxed now. Madam Zhao was asleep, and so was he.
Su Xiaolu and the other siblings ate at the dining table.
Gui You and Old Wu were both there.
After eating, Old Wu began to look at the medicine Su Xiaolu had prepared.
After asking a few questions, Su Xiaolu told him about Princess Pingan’s case.
Old Wu pondered for a moment and nodded. “It’s feasible. I won’t leave for the next few days, so we’ll go take a look together.”
Su Xiaolu smiled and nodded. “Okay, thank you, Master.”
Madam Zhao had regained her memories, and life at home was still the same. The siblings were not too worried.
When Old Wu and Gui You arrived, Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao were also very happy, but they did not treat them too grandly. Just like before, it was as if their family, who had been out for a long time, had returned.
Madam Zhao did not mention the Sun family.
She did not mention anything, and Su Chong and the others would not take the initiative to say it. It was a good thing that Madam Zhao could let go and look at it calmly.
Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao began to prepare to work with Yu Jing Hong.
After many hardships, the two of them were closer to each other. They were husband and wife who were going to be together for the rest of their lives.
In the past few days, Su Xiaolu had also prepared all the herbs she needed.
Finally, at the beginning of April, Su Xiaolu and Old Wu arrived at the princess’s residence.
Zhou Pingan had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Old Wu, Zhou Pingan was a little curious about his identity.
Qin Shoucheng bowed respectfully. “When did Senior enter the capital? I’m really lucky to be able to meet you this time.”
With that said, Qin Shoucheng said to Zhou Pingan, “Princess, you can rest assured. With divine doctor Wu around, there’s nothing to worry about.”
Old Wu stroked his beard coldly. “What does it have to do with me? I’m not interfering.”
Zhou Pingan was overjoyed and welcomed him respectfully.
She did not doubt Su Xiaolu’s medical skills, but with a famous and old divine doctor present, she immediately felt at ease.
Even if the little divine doctor wasn’t outstanding, the old divine doctor wouldn’t let her cause trouble.
Zhou Pingan did not apply a thick layer of ointment because she was going to have the surgery today.
The smell was strong. Old Wu said calmly, “Don’t waste time. Go quickly.”
Qin Shoucheng nodded slightly at Zhou Pingan.
Zhou Pingan excused himself and went to the inner room with Su Xiaolu.
Su Xiaolu put down the first aid kit and unfolded it. Then, she let Zhou Pingan lie down on the bed.
The house had been cleaned up. All the equipment had been boiled at high temperatures and soaked in strong wine.
Su Xiaolu tied Zhou Pingan up and took out silver needles. She inserted them into her entire shoulder and sealed the pain in her entire arm.
The acupuncture points were sealed, and there were not even a few drops of blood.
Su Xiaolu also covered herself with a scarf as a mask.
Zhou Pingan had just taken a shower and there was already a layer of yellow oil under her armpits. This oily substance was very smelly.
Su Xiaolu wiped them away and cut them.
Due to the secretion abnormality, Zhou Pingan’s armpit glands were different from ordinary people.
Su Xiaolu cut off a lot of glandular tissue and slowly stitched it up.
Then the other armpit.
Zhou Pingan could feel something from the beginning to the end.
She even personally felt that there was a piece of flesh being removed from her armpit. Zhou Pingan could not help but frown when he saw the blackish-yellow thing. Was this the thing that made her smell?
Su Xiaolu began to stitch her up. Zhou Pingan felt her flesh being pulled around.
After the stitches.
Su Xiaolu opened a large jar and dug out a brown ointment to apply to the wound. Then, she bandaged it with gauze.
By the time Su Xiaolu was done, it had been four hours.
Su Xiaolu took out the needles. Zhou Pingan began to feel a faint pain. She was about to ask when Su Xiaolu said, “Princess, it’s normal to feel pain after taking out the needles, but it will recover in a day or two.”
Zhou Pingan was relieved. “Alright, thank you, Doctor Su.”
Su Xiaolu showed the ointment to Zhou Pingan and said, “Remember to apply this ointment every day. After the wound recovers, just apply a layer every day. If it’s convenient, bandage it once a day. If not, apply it thinner and apply it three times at a time.”
“Your condition is quite serious. If you want to treat it completely, it will take at least half a year with the application of medicine. Try to apply it for a few more months. Your daughter only needs to apply the medicine for four months. This amount of medicine is enough for you and your daughter to use for treatment.”
Su Xiaolu carried out the other large jars in the medical kit. She had prepared these medicine for Zhou Pingan and her daughter.
She would not stay in the capital for long, so she had prepared all the medicine.
Zhou Pingan put on her clothes and thanked her seriously.
She got a maidservant to carry her daughter over.
She personally applied medicine for her daughter and asked Su Xiaolu seriously, “Doctor Su, is this right?”
Su Xiaolu looked at it and nodded. “Princess, you did well. This will do.”
Zhou Pingan was a very meticulous mother. She applied the ointment under the child’s armpits and applied it evenly.
The ointment did not have any fragrance, but it smelled like medicine.
She could vaguely distinguish some precious medicinal herbs and ginseng.
She recalled what the servant who had sent Su Xiaolu back had said when he returned. Zhou Pingan was even more relieved.
“This is what I cut out. Princess, deal with it yourself.”
Su Xiaolu looked at the meat on the plate. She thought for a moment and handed it to Zhou Pingan to handle.
Zhou Pingan nodded. She said gratefully, “Thank you, Doctor Su.”
These pieces of meat were still emitting a thick fox’s stench, but they were still her flesh after all. Her body, hair, and skin belonged to her parents, so she could not deal with it recklessly. Even if the smelly meat made her suffer for half her life, Zhou Pingan would not throw it away.
She personally took out a clean wooden box and placed the pieces of meat inside.
She would bury these in the ground.
Su Xiaolu went out first.
After Su Xiaolu left, Zhou Pingan tilted her head and sniffed carefully. She could not stop the smile on her face. The stench seemed to have really recovered.
She couldn’t smell it anymore. She didn’t stink anymore.
Zhou Pingan immediately changed into a new set of clothes. Her old clothes were all stained with the fox’s stench. The smell was deeply immersed in her clothes and could not be washed away. Now, she wanted to throw away all her old clothes.
Her life had to start over.
After packing up, Zhou Pingan came out to send Su Xiaolu and the others off.
At this moment, there was no longer any strange smell on Zhou Pingan. She was bright and confident. She thanked her respectfully. “Doctor Su, thank you for curing my illness. Please accept this small gift.”
