Chapter 84: Chapter 68: Treating Xiao Jinxing (6000 words)_4

As soon as it was touched, the fingers immediately trembled.

He’s lucky not to have become an idiot from the burn.

Definitely over forty degrees Celsius.

Ye Qichi quickly uncovered the quilt from Xiao Jinxing.

"Princess, the Prince has a fever and is feeling cold," Xiao Wu hurriedly said.

Ye Qichi really didn’t feel like explaining.

Xiao Jinxing is feeling cold, but covering him up like this could burn him to death without knowing.

She instructed Xiao Wu, "Bring a basin of hot water and a basin of cold water each."

Xiao Wu, watching the Princess’s actions, felt somewhat worried but inexplicably trusted her.

After all, the Princess had cured the Prince’s leg problem; her medical skills must be good.

Just hoping that the Princess would not mix personal grudges with official duties.

Xiao Wu hurriedly ordered people to prepare as per Ye Qichi’s instructions.

Ye Qichi picked up the nearby medicinal soup and sniffed it, frowning slightly.

Thankfully, Xiao Jinxing didn’t drink it.

Drinking it would have been useless anyway.

"Xiao Wu, take notes with pen and ink," Ye Qichi ordered again.

"Yes," Xiao Wu hurried to get the pen and ink.

Ye Qichi dictated the prescription, "1 part bloodroot, 2 parts Forsythia, 1 part Pueraria lobata, 3 parts Burdock Seed... Did you get all that?!"

"Got it," Xiao Wu nodded.

"I’ve checked the medicine jars in the house, we have all these herbs. Take this prescription to the house doctor and have him brew a potion immediately," Ye Qichi instructed.

"Yes."

"Also, if there’s any antelope horn in the house, after the soup is brewed, grind some and put it in," she added.

"Yes," Xiao Wu hastily agreed.

He took the prescription and hurriedly ran out.

"Lu You." Ye Qichi addressed the dumbfounded Lu You beside her.

Previously, she only knew that the Princess was treating the Prince, but she had never witnessed it firsthand.

Seeing the Princess acting so calmly at this moment made her really wonder if her Princess had actually become a different person!

"You come and do physical cooling for Xiao Jinxing."

"What?" Lu You didn’t understand at all.

Ye Qichi didn’t explain further. She just commanded directly, "Use a cold wet cloth on Xiao Jinxing’s forehead, keep changing the water. For the limbs, use warm cloths to preserve warmth and help blood circulation."

"Yes," Lu You did not understand, but she followed the instructions anyway.

She hastily squatted down and started applying cold and hot compresses to the Prince.

Having done the basic work.

Ye Qichi began to check Xiao Jinxing’s wounds.

If her guess was correct, it should be a fever caused by an infection in the wound.

She carefully helped Xiao Jinxing to remove his brocade clothes, underneath which were the bandages applied by the house doctor, already re-saturated with blood.

Ye Qichi picked up the scissors beside her and cut open the bandage.

As soon as she cut it open.

Lu You screamed in fright.

The gory back was simply horrific.

Lu You almost fainted from the shock.

Especially seeing those bloody, rotten flesh on the back.

How much must the Empress Dowager hate the Prince to have beaten him to such a state.

Lu You couldn’t help but feel heartache.

Yet at that moment, her Princess was utterly indifferent.

Looking at the Prince’s back wounds, she only slightly furrowed her brows.

By this moment, Xiao Wu had already finished instructing the house doctor and returned.

Seeing the Prince’s wounds, he was still frightened.

It looked even more severe than when he had just come back!

"Xiao Wu." Ye Qichi called him.

"I am here." Xiaowu quickly replied.

"Take a piece of cloth and stuff it into Xiao Jinxing’s mouth, let him bite on it."

"Ah?" Xiaowu was puzzled.

"Afraid he might bite his own tongue later." Ye Qichi explained.

"Yes."

Xiaowu tore a piece of cloth, folded it quickly, and stuffed it into Xiao Jinxing’s mouth.

"Bring me a sterilized dagger."

"What?" Xiaowu was confused again.

"A dagger, burn it with fire." Ye Qichi was somewhat speechless.

Only then did Xiaowu understand.

He hurriedly prepared a sharp dagger, burned it over a candle flame for a while, and handed it to Ye Qichi.

Ye Qichi took the dagger and directly stabbed it into Xiao Jinxing’s wound.

"Princess!" Xiaowu, frightened, immediately knelt on the ground with a clang, "Please have mercy, Princess."

"What are you thinking?" Ye Qichi glanced at Xiaowu, "I am cutting out the rotting flesh from his body. If it’s not removed, the infection will continue, and his fever will persist."

Xiaowu did know that the necrotic wound needed cleaning.

It’s just that the way the Princess explained was so professional, he did not quite understand.

And he was genuinely afraid the Princess might take this opportunity to kill the Prince, despite all the amends the Prince had made later, the Prince had indeed taken advantage of the Princess.

He endured, watching the Princess slowly cleaning Xiao Jinxing’s wound.

The moment the sword touched Xiao Jinxing’s body.

Xiao Jinxing moved slightly due to the pain even though he was unconscious.

"Xiaowu, hold him down so he doesn’t move." Ye Qichi ordered.

"Yes."

Xiaowu hurriedly stepped forward to restrain Xiao Jinxing.

Ye Qichi resumed the cleaning.

Xiao Jinxing was trembling with pain, but since he was biting the cloth, he didn’t make any noise, considering Xiao Jinxing’s tolerance, even without the cloth, he likely wouldn’t have cried out.

Ye Qichi cleaned bit by bit thoroughly.

Lu You, watching from the side, was genuinely impressed, not only admiring the Princess for being so calm while looking at such a bloody and gruesome back, but even more for the way she handled the knife, always feeling unlike others, as if mastered, as if the knife could fly in her hand.

Xiaowu kept watching the Princess’s movements, too.

Watching more closely than Lu You.

Because of the close watch, he could see that the Princess’s technique in handling the wound was indeed unique.

Not only had she cleaned the necrotic tissue thoroughly, but she also did not cut even a little bit extra from areas that were not infected.

After everything was done.

Xiao Jinxing also sweated profusely due to the pain.

The fever was thereby barely controlled.

Of course, once the sweating ceased, as per the norm, the fever would likely have recurrences.

"Bring over the usual wound ointment from the house." Ye Qichi called Xiaowu.

"No need, rosin ointment?!" Xiaowu asked.

"Rest assured, having done all this, I wouldn’t harm your family’s Prince." Ye Qichi stated directly.

Xiaowu dared not say more.

He quickly brought some ointments they usually used to Ye Qichi.

Ye Qichi took them, smelled each, then selected one and started applying it to Xiao Jinxing bit by bit.

She added anti-inflammatory ingredients to the fever-reducing medicine made by the house doctor and then utilized the healing effect of an ordinary ointment; recovery would not be rapid, but basically, there should be no problems.

After Ye Qichi applied the ointment to Xiao Jinxing, she bandaged him.

The bandaging technique also amazed Xiaowu and Lu You.

This was much better than just now when the house doctor did it.

The Princess always gives them a fright... no, a pleasant surprise.

After the bandaging was done, Ye Qichi helped Xiao Jinxing get dressed, reminding Xiaowu, "Do not cover him with a blanket."

"Yes." Xiaowu quickly nodded.

He felt that whatever the Princess says is right now!
