Chapter 173 Thanks
Long Chuqing prepared the medicine for them and asked Qingsong to take it back to Wenxin Courtyard and give it to them. Then the two of them left the mansion together.
Both of them rode horses on this trip. Qingsong originally wanted her to ride in a carriage, but she refused.
She always took a horse-drawn carriage when she went out, but she got lost last night. She thought it would be better to ride a horse around and get familiar with the place.
Riding a horse was quite fast; she arrived at Prince Yu's residence in no time, all thanks to the long journey she had taken the night before.
Upon arriving at Yunqi Courtyard, Qingsong first led Long Chuqing to find Xiao Han.
At this moment, Xiao Han was resting with his head propped up by one hand on a chair in the living room. He opened his eyes after hearing footsteps coming from inside.
Qingsong approached and called softly, "Your Highness, Miss Long has arrived."
Xiao Han slowly raised his head and looked behind Qing Song. Long Chuqing walked in carrying a medicine box.
“Chu Qing…” Upon seeing Long Chu Qing, a faint smile appeared on Xiao Han’s slightly haggard face.
Seeing that he was sitting alone in the living room, Long Chuqing couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Are you here all by yourself?"
"Yes, my fifth and sixth brothers didn't sleep much last night and just went back this morning. My second and third brothers went back around 4 a.m. last night, and they probably have some things to take care of today too."
Long Chuqing placed the medicine box on the table beside her: "So that's how it is. Are you feeling better? Raise your hand, let me take your pulse."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Han slowly raised his hand, and Long Chuqing took his hand and placed three fingers on his pulse.
After taking his pulse, she turned to Qingsong behind her and said, "Qingsong, pour your master a glass of water."
"Oh... okay." Qingsong replied, turned around and walked to the table next to him to pour water.
As Long Chuqing rummaged through the medicine box, she turned to Xiao Han and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
"have eaten."
She prepared several medicines and handed them to Xiao Han: "Here, take these medicines. This time, don't chew them, just swallow them directly."
Xiao Han paused slightly after hearing this, then laughed and said, "I'm not that stupid to suffer the same kind of bitterness twice."
Long Chuqing smiled and said, "Then eat quickly!" She took the glass of water from Qingsong's hand and handed it to him.
After taking the medicine, Xiao Han led Long Chuqing to Prince Yu's bedroom. At this time, Imperial Physician Liu and Princess Yu were guarding the bedside. Prince Yu had his eyes closed and a towel was placed on his forehead to cool him down.
"Sister-in-law,..." Xiao Han called out as he approached.
Princess Yu stood up from the stool: "Seventh brother..."
Xiao Han looked at Long Chuqing behind him and then introduced her: "Sister-in-law, this is the young lady who saved my brother last night. I brought her here today to help my brother get another checkup."
Long Chuqing bowed slightly and greeted Princess Yu.
After hearing this, Princess Yu looked at Long Chuqing beside her. She hadn't been able to see her face clearly in the rush last night, but when she raised her head, she found that she was such a young and beautiful girl.
An excited expression appeared on her face. She stepped forward, took Long Chuqing's hand, and held it tightly: "Last night, I was too flustered and didn't have a chance to properly thank you!"
"Thank you. If you hadn't arrived in time, His Highness might have..." Princess Yu said, her voice choked with emotion. "If His Highness were gone, Rou'er and I wouldn't know what to do."
Long Chuqing gently comforted him, "It's alright. His Highness Prince Yu is a lucky man, and naturally he wouldn't bear to part with you and the little princess."
Princess Yu looked at her with sincere eyes: "Even so, we all know that it was you who saved the Prince. Thank you again." Princess Yu bowed to Long Chuqing.
Long Chuqing hurriedly helped her up: "No, Princess Yu, you're too kind."
"Oh, right, Seventh Brother," Princess Yu said, looking at Xiao Han standing to the side, "you didn't even introduce her properly. You don't even know how to address this young lady!"
Upon seeing this, Long Chuqing slowly spoke, "My name is Long Chuqing."
Xiao Han felt slightly embarrassed after hearing this. He recalled that he had indeed not introduced Chu Qing's name earlier.
“Then… I’ll go and take Prince Yu’s pulse.”
Princess Yu nodded: "Alright, thank you for your trouble, Miss Long."
When Liu Yuanpan, who was standing by the bed, heard Xiao Han say that he had brought the doctor who had treated Prince Yu last night, his attention immediately turned to this side.
He and another imperial physician carefully studied the prescription she gave him last night and found that the proportions of the herbs and their quantities were so exquisite that he had to admit that even he could not concoct such a refined prescription.
In the morning, Prince Yu began to have a fever. He initially suspected that it was caused by a wound infection, so he removed Prince Yu's gauze to check the condition of the wound.
He had expected the wound to be red, swollen, and bleeding, but to his surprise, he found that Prince Yu's wound had been carefully treated and was not the same as when they had bandaged it the night before.
The wound was sprinkled with medicine powder and was now dry and without bleeding. The originally horrifying wound looked as if it had been stitched up. The wound was now very smooth, with only a knife mark between it, and its horrifying appearance was no longer visible.
He and another imperial physician were full of praise, never expecting the wound to be treated so meticulously.
After seeing the prescription and the wound, he wanted to meet the doctor even more. He was even thinking of visiting the Prince of Qin's residence another day to ask for an introduction. He never expected that she would come today as well.
However, he had guessed at the time that the doctor must be an eccentric and unruly person, since she dared to leave at will with the Emperor present last night, which most people wouldn't dare to do.
He thought to himself that capable people often have eccentricities, which was understandable; he just didn't know if she would want to see him.
However, when he saw that Long Chuqing was the doctor, he was clearly stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.
He had also heard last night that the doctor was a woman. He had thought that she might be a mature and steady middle-aged female doctor, or an older, highly respected female doctor with silver-white hair.
But to his surprise, this... how could it be a young girl? She looks no more than sixteen or seventeen years old. Did she really save Prince Yu? Did she write the prescription? Countless questions arose in his mind.
Long Chuqing carried her medicine box and walked towards the bedside. Liu Yuanpan stared at her suspiciously.
Long Chuqing also noticed his gaze, and she couldn't help but wonder why he was staring at her with such a strange look!
She glanced at Physician Liu and nodded politely. "May I take his pulse?"
Judge Liu stepped aside: "Of course, please..."
Princess Consort Yu stepped forward and pulled Prince Yu's hand out from under the covers. Long Chuqing then sat down and carefully examined him.
She stood up to check his temperature, but his forehead was covered with a towel to cool him down, so she could only reach for his neck.
