Chapter 105 Understanding Her
The maid looked down and noticed that her clothes were slightly torn on the arm; she hadn't noticed it before.
When I climbed out of the carriage, I felt a lot of pain from the impact. Even though I knew I was injured, I didn't have time to care. I was too busy with the young lady. Now I realize that my arm is burning with pain.
Long Chuqing grabbed her hand and lifted it up to examine it, but she hurriedly pulled it back down.
"What's there to be afraid of?" Long Chuqing said. "There are no men here, so there's no need to be restrained."
She had just noticed a large bruise and scratch on the maid's arm.
She took her hand again and continued to treat her wound.
The young maidservant stopped being coy and obediently let Long Chuqing apply the medicine to her.
Long Chuqing applied the medicine very gently, afraid of hurting her.
The little maid's cheeks were flushed; she had never been treated so gently before, especially by such a beautiful girl.
"Alright..." Long Chuqing put down her sleeve and said, "I'll go out and get busy first. You stay here and watch over her. I just gave her acupuncture, she'll wake up in a bit."
The young maid nodded and softly replied with a single word: "Mmm..."
Xiao Yue stood outside the door waiting for Long Chuqing to come out, and Lan Yu was also standing beside him.
Lan Yu knew what Xiao Yue was thinking. After they met at the restaurant, Xiao Yue had asked him to find out where the girl was, but he had been unable to find any information about her.
Lan Yu hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Your Highness... shall we still go to the government office? We need to deal with the incident from earlier."
After a moment of silence, Xiao Yue said, "It'll be over soon."
Perhaps it was because he ate too much pastry and tea, but his stomach was still uncomfortable, and he was frowning.
I didn't notice it when I was busy saving people, but now that I've stopped, I'm starting to feel unwell.
Seeing that he was frowning, Lan Yu asked with concern, "Is Your Highness feeling unwell? This is the pharmacy, why don't you let the doctor take a look at you?"
"no need."
When Long Chuqing came out of the room, she saw the two of them standing outside. She asked suspiciously, "Were you waiting for me? Is something the matter?"
Just as Xiao Yue was about to speak, Lan Yu, who was standing next to him, answered first: "There is indeed something... um... my lord is not feeling well, could you please take a look at him, young lady?" He pointed at Xiao Yue.
Xiao Yue cast a cold glance at her, and Lan Yu quickly turned around and lowered her head.
"Oh, what's wrong?"
"No," Xiao Yue said embarrassedly, "Don't listen to his nonsense."
"Your Highness has an upset stomach." Lan Yu said this and ran out quickly.
Long Chuqing watched Lan Yu rush away, then turned to Xiao Yue: "Then... do you need me to take a look?"
Xiao Yue seemed a little embarrassed at this moment, unsure of how to respond.
"Let's go!" Seeing his silence, Long Chuqing said, "Let me take a look at you. If you're really uncomfortable, you should get treatment."
He nodded and followed Long Chuqing to the examination table.
He placed his hand on the pulse table, and Long Chuqing reached out to take his pulse.
He saw her long, slender, fair fingers resting on his wrist; her hands were starting to feel a little cold due to the cold weather.
He couldn't help but stare at her; she looked very focused and attentive when she took his pulse.
Her face was unadorned, her hair was simply styled in a bun, and she wore only a hairpin in her hair. There were no other decorations, yet she was very beautiful.
He recalled the first time he saw her, that fleeting glance that captivated him, and he still remembered it vividly.
I initially thought she was the daughter of some noble family, but when I met her again at the city gate and saw her riding away freely and gracefully on horseback, I had a different impression of her.
Then came the incident at the government office. To his surprise, the seemingly gentle and weak woman had beaten several spoiled brats so badly.
Today I discovered she also has medical skills...
"You ate too much! Is your stomach feeling uncomfortable? Let me give you a couple of acupuncture needles! It can effectively relieve stomach discomfort."
Long Chuqing's words pulled him back to reality, and he smiled and nodded. "Okay..."
When he came out of the pharmacy, his stomach discomfort had disappeared and he was no longer feeling unwell.
Lan Yu stood by the carriage waiting for him.
Seeing him come out, she greeted him with a grin, "Your Highness..."
Xiao Yue merely glared at him without saying anything.
"Your Highness..." Just as he was about to get into the carriage, Lan Feng rode up on horseback and called out to him.
Lan Feng dismounted and came to him, saying, "Your Highness... there is an urgent case at the government office."
"Let's go... over there now." Xiao Yue got into the carriage and headed towards the government office.
After Xiao Yue left, Long Chuqing went to the room where the little girl was staying, where the couple were sitting by the bedside.
When they saw her come in, they stood up and greeted her.
Long Chuqing nodded, then said, "I need to set her bones. Can you wait outside?"
"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say." The woman's attitude towards her changed. It wasn't that she had been fierce before; it was just a panicked reaction in a moment of urgency.
The two walked towards the door, and the man kept turning back to peek at Long Chuqing. When the woman saw this, she kicked him in the buttocks and stomped on his foot.
After they left, Long Chuqing closed the door. Looking at the little girl's injuries, he said with heartache, "Poor child, having to endure the pain of broken bones at such a young age."
Breaking bones is extremely painful; she has broken quite a few bones and knows it all too well.
Without anesthesia, we could only give her Mafeisan (麻沸散) and painkillers, and then use acupuncture to seal the acupoints.
They also asked Fei Feng to help alleviate her pain as much as possible and to monitor her brain condition at all times in case of any accidents.
Normally, it wouldn't be a good time to set the bone, but she thought that if she set it before she regained consciousness, she wouldn't have to suffer while she was fully conscious.
After treating all the little girl's injuries, she told the girl's parents that they needed to stay and continue to observe the girl's head injury that night in order to prevent any accidents.
Around late afternoon, the girl who bumped her head had her family arrive at the pharmacy. It seems the driver had bandaged her up and then ran back to inform them.
The girl's family are business people, and their business is quite large, with a substantial fortune.
Her father dropped everything and rushed over as soon as he learned of his daughter's accident.
Now that he knows his daughter is alright, he is relieved. He learned what happened from the driver and agreed to cover all the medical expenses for the injured.
Although it was an accident, it was caused by the overturning of their own carriage.
He also instructed his subordinates to compile a list of all the injured patients, provide them with appropriate compensation, and even make up for the losses incurred by the tea stall.
For him, it was good that his daughter was alright; money was a minor issue.
Those who had been bandaged up received compensation and went home one after another, leaving only a few sick people still waiting for treatment.
It was still drizzling outside, and it got much colder in the afternoon. After seeing that there were not many patients, Long Chuqing went to the backyard to find Ziguang.
She was helping to prepare the medicine in the backyard at that moment.
She walked slowly over. At that moment, Ziguang was bending down to add firewood to the stove. He looked up and saw her coming to his side.
She dusted off her hands and asked, "Girl, are you done with your work?"
"There are fewer patients in the front hall now, so I thought I'd come and check on you. Are you cold?"
Ziguang smiled and said, "I've been standing by the fire the whole time! I'm not cold."
Long Chuqing then glanced at the medicine furnace beside her and smiled.
