Yu Wan sat down by the bed and began to wash the injured person’s wound.
Zi Su opened the first aid kit with tacit understanding. She was not as calm as Yu Wan. The strong smell of blood made her a little breathless, but she always remembered her identity and could not embarrass Young Madam.
When Prince Cheng saw that not only did his cousin-in-law’s expression not change, but even the maidservant beside her was so calm, he could not help but admire her even more.
“I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you,” he suddenly said.
First, Xiao Ziyue was bitten by a poisonous spider, and then the envoy of Nanzhao was injured in the garden. No matter how one looked at it, it seemed that he had neglected to discipline his servants, which was why many hidden dangers were buried.
Yu Wan said politely, “It was all an accident. Your Highness, you don’t have to blame yourself.”
Yu Wan did not know if it was Prince Cheng’s fault that the envoy was injured, but Xiao Ziyue really was not Prince Cheng’s fault. For the sake of her reputation, she could only let him take the blame.
Yu Wan used a homemade medicine to wash the other party’s wound. The wound on his forearm was big, but it was not deep. What was really bleeding were a few small holes made by the stones. After using the hemostatic powder, there was no more blood seeping out.
“There’s no need for stitches,” Yu Wan said to Zi Su.
Zi Su put away the sewing kit.
Prince Cheng could not help but be amazed when he saw Yu Wan stop the bleeding in two to three moves. Then, he looked at the envoy at the side and asked nervously, “He’s been unconscious. Will something happen?”
Yu Wan took his pulse and shook her head. “His pulse is fine. He should be asleep.”
Prince Cheng was relieved and cupped his hands at Yu Wan. “Thank you, Cousin-in-law.”
Yu Wan smiled. “Your Highness, you’re too polite.”
“It’s not that. There’s also the matter of Miss Xiao. Thank you for your help, Cousin-in-law.” Prince Cheng understood that he was an unloved prince and could not afford to offend anyone. Otherwise, it would not be his turn to marry the Xiongnu Princess. Be it Miss Xiao or the envoy from Nanzhao, no matter who was in his manor, he would inevitably be punished by the Emperor.
Yu Wan smiled and said, “It’s my duty.”
Prince Cheng was stunned. He did not know if Yu Wan was saying that Xiao Ziyue was his sister-in-law, so it was her duty, or if she was saying that he was her brother-in-law, so it was also her duty.
Yu Wan said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first. The imperial physician will come later to treat him.”
Prince Cheng hurriedly said, “I’ll send you off.”
Prince Cheng sent Yu Wan out of Fei Yan Hall. This matter did not spread. They still used the back door. Just as they left the door, they bumped into Yan Jiuchao.
Yan Jiuchao made sure that every envoy knew that he had three invincible, cute, and super fat little fellows. However, it was said that one of the fish that escaped the net was carried in because of his injuries. He was here to look for that fish that escaped the net!
He did not expect to meet Yu Wan and Prince Cheng.
He glanced at the first aid kit that Zi Su was carrying and roughly guessed what was going on. Prince Cheng was afraid that this young master would misunderstand, so he explained in fear, “An envoy from Nanzhao was injured when he was drunk. His injuries were so serious that he couldn’t wait for the imperial physician to come, so I took the initiative to invite Cousin-in-law over to treat him.”
Then, as if to explain how he knew about her cousin-in-law’s medical skills, he said without daring to breathe, “Miss Xiao was bitten by a poisonous spider just now. It was her who treated her.”
Yan Jiuchao nodded casually and asked Prince Cheng, “How’s that person’s situation?”
Prince Cheng hurriedly said, “Cousin-in-law’s medical skills are brilliant. The guest is fine now. We’re just waiting for him to wake up.”
Upon hearing that the other party had fallen asleep, a certain young master lost his interest in showing off. He pulled the fat little fellows and left Fei Yan Hall with Yu Wan.
The three little fellows were not big in the beginning, but ever since they lived in the countryside for twenty days, not only had they gained weight, but they had also gained courage. They were not afraid of strangers and played happily, but they were also exhausted because of this.
The three of them began to rub against Yu Wan, yawning one after another.
Yu Wan rubbed their little heads with heartache and carried the three children to a nearby small courtyard with Yan Jiuchao. This was a courtyard specially for the royal family to stay in. The group entered the room and placed the three sleepy children on the soft bed.
Zi Su went to put the first aid kit back on the carriage while Fu Ling guarded the door.
The three of them refused to lie obediently on the bed and all leaned into Yu Wan’s arms. Yu Wan leaned against the head of the bed and wrapped her arms around them. They were no longer the little skinny monkey from before. She could not wrap her arms around them anymore.
Yan Jiuchao casually grabbed Xiaobao.
