Chapter 265 - Wait Upon (2/2)

Zhu Junyang quickly said, “Lady Mother, why don’t you call Yu Xiaocao in and ask how her father’s leg was cured?”

Hearing this, Princess Consort Jing wiped her tears and hastily nodded and said, “Yes, that’s right! Quickly tell Xiaocao to come in. I need to ask if her family has some good medicine to cure muscle and tendon injuries.”

Meixiang complied and quickly walked out the door. She said to Yu Xiaocao, who was bored to death as she stood in the corridor and kicked at the brick under her feet, “Miss Yu, the princess consort asked you to come in!”

Holding the herbal paste that she had just heated this morning, Xiaocao followed Meixiang through the door and bowed a greeting at Princess Consort Jing, whose eyes were red.

Princess Consort Jing, who was still somewhat angry, expressionlessly said, “Stand up!”

Yu Xiaocao knew that Princess Consort Jing was angry with her. The young royal prince got hurt because of her father. She would even be willing to take a beating, let alone getting the cold shoulder. Seeing that the princess consort didn’t intend to speak, she summoned up her courage and whispered, “Your Highness, the young royal prince’s arms… it’s time to change the medicine…”

As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Consort Jing asked anxiously, “You applied the medicine on Yang’er’s arms? Is this the medicine that healed the injury on your father’s leg?”

Yu Xiaocao quickly nodded and said, “In reply to Your Highness, my father’s leg was cured after consuming the medication prescribed by Doctor Sun and applying this herbal paste. It got better with the combination of external application and internal treatment!”

Doctor Sun and the imperial physician seemed very interested in the herbal paste in jar in her hands. Doctor Sun tried to restrain himself, but in the end, he couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Yu, can you let this old man look at the herbal paste in your hands?”

Yu Xiaocao wasn’t afraid of being found out by him because the ointment she brewed was really made for muscle and bone injuries. But, without the most critical component, the mystic-stone water, it became the most common muscles and bones ointment on the market.

Doctor Sun and the imperial physician took the jar of medicine and studied the properties of the herbal paste together. After a discussion, they realized that it was made of very common ingredients.

However, Doctor Sun noticed that there was an ingredient in it that could activate the properties of the medicine and make the medicine work to its fullest. Perhaps, it was this ingredient that caused an originally common medicine to become effective enough to cure Yu Hai’s leg.

Doctor Sun wanted to ask what this ingredient was, but on second thought, this was their secret medicine. It was already pretty good of them to let him look at the medicine. If he asked them how the herbal paste was made, wouldn’t that make things difficult for them?

Seeing that the imperial physician and Doctor Sun had studied the medicine for a long time, Princess Consort Jing anxiously asked, “How is it? Will this medicine work? Will it be able to cure Yang’er’s injury?”

Doctor Sun gave the herbal paste back to Yu Xiaocao and nodded, “This herbal paste is good for Royal Prince Yang’s injury. If used together with the medication for relieving acupuncture points, there is an eighty percent chance that Royal Prince Yang’s injuries will be completely healed.”

Eighty percent chance? Although Princess Consort Jing wasn’t completely satisfied, it was already considered pretty good compared to the death sentence that the imperial physician and Doctor Sun imposed on her son’s arms!

“Xiaocao, quickly apply it for Yang’er!” Princess Consort Jing’s tone had softened a lot. She wasn’t an unreasonable person, but concern caused her to be in a confused state of mind. It was inevitable that she would vent her anger on others upon hearing that her youngest son’s arms were going to be crippled. It was understandable since this was due to a mother’s love for her son.

Yu Xiaocao asked Meixiang to bring over a basin of warm water. With her back facing everyone, she placed the multicolored stone into the warm water. The little divine stone cooperated and emitted some spiritual power into the water, which turned the warm water into mystic-stone water.

Yu Xiaocao carried the water to the table next to Royal Prince Yang and said in a soft voice, “Take off your clothes!”

When Head Steward Liu took off his outer garment, there was a casual sleeveless garment inside. The two maidservants, Meixiang and Lanxiang, blushed slightly and turned around. As a citizen of the twenty-first century, Yu Xiaocao was used to men wearing nothing but a pair of shorts in the summer, let alone he was wearing a ‘large tank-top’!

With a straight face, Yu Xiaocao calmly washed off the herbal paste on the young prince’s arms with gauze, and then she applied a thick layer of the herbal paste on his arms.

“Does it need to be wrapped in gauze? Wouldn’t the medicine lose its effect if it accidentally got rubbed off?” Princess Consort Jing asked with concern.

‘Sure, it can also be wrapped up ah!’ Since the patient’s family requested it, Yu Xiaocao naturally wouldn’t disagree. With the gauze, she wrapped the young royal prince’s arms up like a mummy, and even his elbows couldn’t be bent. Yu Xiaocao looked at Zhu Junyang, whose two arms were hanging straight to his sides, and nearly rolled on the floor laughing in her heart.
