"Doctor Zheng!" Duan Xingyi forcefully endured the extreme anger in his heart. His black eyes slightly narrowed, and the light in them was like ice blades that caused chills to run down one's spine! Zhou Han was the first to enter the room. When he saw the wound on Duan Mu Yan's back, he couldn't help but take a few steps back. How could this be? It had clearly been two days, yet the wound on his back was even more severe than when he was being tortured that day!
"Second Prince …" Just as Doctor Zheng opened his mouth to say something, Duan Xingyi abruptly grabbed him by the collar and nearly dragged him to the edge of the bed!
"Treat the Third Princess well! Otherwise, you wouldn't have to go back to the palace! " Duan Xingyi clenched his fists tightly. Could it be that last night … Xiao Jingfeng! You deserve to die!
Doctor Zheng did not dare to be negligent and immediately began to examine Duan Mu Yan's wounds. When his gaze landed on the badly mutilated jade back, he could not help but suck in a breath of cold air! Even if the Third Princess wasn't spoiled, she still wouldn't have been destroyed like this! The person who did this was too ruthless!
Without giving it much thought, Doctor Zheng put down the medicine box on his back and carefully examined Duan Mu Yan's wound. After careful examination, he suddenly discovered as if there were no injuries on his body. Unexpectedly, a few powdery objects landed on his back! Imperial Physician Zheng had wanted to find out what exactly this powder was, but when he stretched out his hand, Duan Xingyi nearly broke his wrist!
"What are you trying to do?!" With the same icy tone, Imperial Physician Zheng immediately explained!
"In reply to the Second Prince, this humble subject only wishes to know what medicine the wangfei used before. What exactly is that powdery substance? Perhaps … The wound of the princess is related to it! " Doctor Zheng felt extremely helpless. He was the imperial physician in the palace, so he had his own medical ethics. How could he … Cough cough.
"Impossible …" The prince came to Ji Zhou this morning to ask for the medicine for the princess... "There will never be a problem …" Housekeeper Zhou retorted, but he regretted it after he shut his mouth. His Royal Highness had instructed him not to let anyone know that he was the one who had asked for this medicine! His heart was inexplicably nervous! No! Your highness would never do anything to the medicine! Available... But why did the Prince want him to hide this matter?! Could it be?
"Humph!" It was his medicine that had the problem! "I'll do it!" The light in Duan Xingyi's eyes gradually condensed as he walked to the side of the bed. His slender jade-like fingers lightly touched Duan Mu Yan's jade white skin, and at this moment, that indescribable throbbing once again surged to his heart. Duan Xingyi ruthlessly shook his head, dispelling all thoughts of desire, and then lightly flicked the powder on his fingertips into Zheng Yu's hands!
Imperial Physician Zheng lightly pinched the powder in his hand and brought it to his tongue to taste it. He frowned slightly and the calmness in his eyes gradually dimmed!
"How is it?!" Duan Xingyi coldly spoke, his eyes containing a bit of sharpness and chilliness!
"Reporting to the Second Prince … This medicine … Within the powder, there seemed to be … It seems to have a pepper component … " To be able to sit at the head of the imperial hospital, there was no need to mention Imperial Physician Zheng's medical skills. In fact, he was certain that the light red powder was pepper, but it was easy to say so, but difficult to retract! Just now, Housekeeper Zhou had clearly said that this medicine was prepared by the Qi King for the third princess, that was obvious! Therefore, he seemed to be trying to make things difficult for him!
"Impossible!" "That's definitely not Chili Pepper, the Prince would never do that!" Housekeeper Zhou's eyes were wide open as he tried his best to defend Xiao Lingfeng!
"Chili Pepper …" Duan Xingyi's chest suddenly shook as an indescribable pain surged through his four bones: Xiao Jin Feng! You're too cruel! Even after beating his, he still wanted to make Duan Mu Yan suffer such torture! Good... Great! I, Duan Xingyi, will finally remember this debt! One day, I will make you pay double!
"Ugh …" "This humble subject only suspects …" Imperial Physician Zheng choked. He'd wanted to keep silent, but he knew something was amiss!
"Don't tell me that all the medicine is on Third Sister's body?!" Where's the medicine bottle! " Duan Xingyi spoke in a ruthless tone as his cold gaze swept across the edge of the bed. Coincidentally, he saw the white bottle at the end of the bed!
This time, it was impossible for Imperial Physician Zheng to turn the tables on him! The rest of the powder poured out from the white porcelain bottle contained the chili concoction!
"Reporting to the Second Prince … This medicine … "There is indeed Chili Pepper inside …" Doctor Zheng spoke truthfully with a heartache. He never expected the distinguished King Qi to be so deceitful. He would use such a despicable method against a girl, and even the current Princess Mo!
"What are you standing there for!" Since you know the root of the problem, hurry up and treat it! Don't tell me you want the Third Princess to die from the pain! " Duan Xingyi almost roared as he spoke, his rage could not be quelled!
"Yes …" But... The wound on the third princess' back was almost festering, so this humble subject could only … He could only shave off the rotten meat on the surface before applying the medicine … It will only be effective! " Doctor Zheng said nervously!
"Then what are you waiting for?!" Duan Xingyi urged urgently. His gaze was as cold as ice!
"The third princess may have fainted, but it's hard to protect her from being unconscious during this process. The pain from his body being torn apart, the pain from being burned …" This humble subject is afraid that the third princess will not be able to endure and will … "He will bite his tongue and commit suicide …" It wasn't unnecessary for Doctor Zheng to worry. Why did the prisoners on death row only wish for death? Because they could not bear the torment of the pain and fear!
"What do you mean?" Duan Xingyi turned his gaze towards the unconscious Duan Mu Yan. No way! Duan Mu Yan! You must live no matter how bitter it is.
"This humble subject's meaning is to take a wooden stick or wet towel and stuff it into the third princess' mouth. But I'm afraid that the third princess might be injured …" Doctor Zheng had no choice but to consider Zhou Quan and inform Duan Xingyi of all the consequences in advance. He didn't want anyone to settle the score with him!
Speechless, Duan Xingyi directly walked to the side of the bed and lightly supported Duan Mu Yan onto his lap. His hand unhesitatingly slipped into her mouth!
"What are you looking at!?" Hurry up! If anything happens to the three imperial sisters, you will all be buried with me! " Duan Xingyi's black eyes abruptly turned cold as he said fiercely!
"Yes …" Housekeeper Zhou! Hurry and get someone to bring a basin of warm water so that you can help the Third Princess clean her wounds! " Without delay, Doctor Zheng took out a sharp knife from the medicine box! At this moment, Zhou Jing couldn't care less whether there were any chilies in that white porcelain bottle or not. As long as he could cure the wangfei's injury, everything else was more important!
On the ground, Qiu Yue, who had rested for a long time, clenched her teeth and stood up!
"Housekeeper Zhou..." "I'll go …" Qiu Yue ruthlessly wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and walked out of the room! After a while, she stood beside Imperial Physician Zheng with a basin of clear water, while Zhou Han held up a tray to receive the rotten meat that Imperial Physician Zheng had scraped off!
"Ah …" A heart-wrenching scream came out from Duan Mu Yan's mouth. The sudden pain caused her to curl up into a ball as her hands mercilessly grabbed onto the bedsheet beneath her! Intense pain filled her internal organs, and not a single part of her body was able to escape this doom! The feeling of the sharp blade rubbing against her flesh made her wish she was dead. Duan Mu Yan fiercely bit onto Duan Xingyi's palm, her face turning deathly pale as she let out a painful cry!
Doctor Zheng knew that the slower he moved, the more suffering the people on the bed would suffer. Even though the screams shook his heart, the sword in his hand did not stop!
Next to her, Qiu Yue's tears fell like rain. She couldn't stop her entire body from trembling. Chili Pepper … She had personally painted it on her master's back! Such a bloody scene made even Housekeeper Zhou, who once reprimanded the battlefield, unable to hold back her tears!
Duan Xingyi's forehead gradually began to drip with sweat, but the pain that came from his palm was not even a thousandth of what it was in his heart. He originally thought that he just cared, that he just liked it. Who would have thought that her heart would ache so much when he saw Duan Mu Yan miserably lying in his embrace! He was the one who was in so much pain that he was willing to be cut! Is this love?
Dark red blood flowed down from his palm and dyed his clothes red! Duan Xingyi endured the biting pain coming from his palm, but his eyes were filled with heartache as he looked at Duan Moyan's face, which was drenched in cold sweat! Doctor Zheng's movements became faster and faster. Duan Mu Yan's eyes were bloodshot as the overwhelming pain surged forth like it was a tidal wave, engulfing her whole body! The blood-curdling screeches broke the tranquility of the entire Xiao family's Duke Palaces. Their mournful cries shook everyone who heard them!
Doctor Zheng's technique was exquisite. In just a short moment, the rotten flesh on Duan Mu Yan's back had been completely scraped off. At this moment, Duan Xingyi's hand was already numb from the pain, but he still had no intention of pulling it out!
Without stopping, Doctor Zheng sprinkled the prepared powder evenly on Duan Mu Yan's wound! Another burst of burning pain. Duan Mu Yan no longer had the strength to cry out. Her deep moans made people's hearts ache! In the end, Duan Xingyi could no longer hear her moans. Once again, she could no longer endure the bone-piercing pain and sunk into darkness!
At this moment, Imperial Physician Zheng had already finished applying the medicinal powder, and the next thing he needed to do was to bandage the wound.
"Reporting to the Second Prince, this powder is of high quality. It only needs one try and won't leave behind any scars, but it needs to be carefully bandaged. The white gauze needs to bypass the Third Princess' abdomen, so …" Physician Zheng was about to speak, but stopped in her tracks. Beside him, Qiu Yue wiped her tears away and was about to step forward to receive the veil, but Duan Xingyi beat her to it!
"I'll do it!" All of you, leave! " Duan Xingyi slowly pulled his palm out from Duan Mu Yan's mouth. Blood was still flowing, but Duan Xingyi didn't mind at all!
"Second Prince, men and women shouldn't be so intimate with each other. "Why not give it to Qiu Yue …" Qiu Yue's body shuddered when she heard this and she immediately bent over Duan Xingyi! He knew in his heart that if this matter were to spread to the ears of the prince, who knew how many branches it would produce!
"All of you, step down!" Duan Xingyi's sharp eyes were like daggers as he spoke in a ruthless tone. Naturally, Doctor Zheng had tactfully left while Housekeeper Zhou, who was at the side, replied worriedly.
"Second Prince, I believe that wangfei is fine. Just hand the bandage to Qiu Yue, she must …" Without waiting for Zhou Jing to finish speaking, Duan Xingyi's beautiful peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Listen up, if this matter were to spread to royal father, and if it was this prince who spoke of it! Do you think that the entire Xiao Palace will be safe and sound?! This prince can suppress this matter! But now, all of you f * ck off! " A dangerous aura exploded from Duan Xingyi's body. His eyes were deep and dark, and his voice was as cold as a hammer!
"But …" Just as he had said, if this matter were to spread to the emperor, the Xiao family would rob at best, and the entire clan would be exterminated. It wasn't because the emperor was against the third princess, but because the imperial family's dignity couldn't be violated!
After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Jing let out a long breath, then he turned to look at Qiu Yue, indicating for him to leave! Even if they didn't want to, they had no choice!
"Wait!" The tray in my hand is on the table! " The icy-cold voice had no trace of warmth. Zhou Jun lowered his gaze as he stared at the rotten flesh on Duan Mu Yan's back, and his heart trembled slightly!
"Don't worry!" This prince has always been straightforward! Since I have promised all of you, I will not go back on my words! " Duan Xingyi knew that Zhou Jun was being cautious, so he spoke coldly!
Zhou Han slightly creased his thick eyebrows, but he still complied with Duan Xingyi's request and left with Qiu Yue.
Silence descended upon the room. Duan Xingyi held onto the white gauze in his hand as he slowly walked to Duan Mu Yan's side. His jade-like fingers carefully supported Duan Mu Yan, causing her creamy white skin to once again appear in front of Duan Xingyi.
