Chapter 144: Angelica dahurica also has a life-enhancing effect?
After answering hurriedly, Xu Sheng looked at Xia Pinxiang quickly in panic, and went to Xia Yanxiang to take her pulse.
Just after taking the pulse, Xu Sheng's pupils suddenly shrank, his expression changed, but he frowned again and exerted force as if he didn't believe it.
"Doctor Xu, please show some respect to me!" Mo Yuchen saw all of Xu Sheng's actions and scolded him coldly.
The sound was loud enough that people inside and outside heard it, and Xu Sheng was so scared that he quickly withdrew his hand.
"Doctor Xu, how is it?" Mo Cheng glanced at Mo Yuchen and ignored him.
Xu Sheng was still in shock. He turned around and kowtowed to Mo Cheng, saying, "Your Majesty, the Third Miss is in good health and there is nothing wrong with her."
"Oh? Are you sure? Last time you said that Third Miss Xia had difficulty raising a child. Why did you change your words in just a few days?" Mo Cheng's aura of majesty without even getting angry was slowly leaking out at this moment. He was worthy of being the winner in the battle for succession.
Xu Sheng gritted his teeth and secretly glanced at Xia Pinxiang and Mo Yuyang before saying, "Your Majesty, last time I diagnosed that the Third Miss was in poor health, but I don't know why, why..."
"Why? Then why did you wink at the concubine?" Xu Sheng's little trick did not escape Mo Cheng's eyes. Instead, it was directly exposed without leaving any room for maneuver. "Did the concubine instruct you, or did you deceive the concubine?"
"Your humble servant is terrified! I really diagnosed the abnormality of the Third Miss that day, without anyone's instigation. I don't know why the Third Miss's pulse is normal today." Xu Sheng really didn't understand why Xia Yanxiang's pulse was so weak that day, which was obviously a sign of deficiency of Qi and blood. How come it is so strong today?
"Humph! If no one instructed them, how could this matter be publicized?" Mo Cheng glanced at the trembling Xia Pinxiang, "Come here! Take Xu Sheng to the clan house for a thorough interrogation and thoroughly investigate whether he has any signs of taking bribes."
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I am innocent! Your Majesty, I am innocent..." Xu Sheng kept kowtowing and begging for mercy. Xia Pinxiang and Mo Yuyang, who were kneeling beside him, had their inner linings wet and did not dare to move.
"Prince Yuan's concubine has hired the wrong people and brought shame to the royal family. You are banned from sleeping with the emperor for half a month!" Mo Cheng immediately turned around and punished Xia Pinxiang, then spoke to the minister's wife and her daughter.
"The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue has a bad family tradition and has failed to fulfill his duty of discipline and education. He will be fined three months' salary, his wife and daughter will be confined to the mansion for one month and not allowed to go out. Miss Liu will be punished by 20 slaps on the face."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xia Pinxiang breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she was not punished immediately. Although she did lose to Xia Yanxiang, Xia Yanxiang had been plagued by such rumors after all, and she had been the topic of conversation in other people's homes for a year or two. Thinking of this, she felt a little relieved.
"Prince Yuan, you failed to exercise proper self-discipline. You are confined to your home for seven days and are required to reflect on your mistakes." Mo Yuyang, who thought he had escaped, was still punished.
"Yes, father." Mo Yuyang gritted his teeth and thanked him.
Mo Yuanyue was dissatisfied: "Father, my brother did nothing wrong, why should he be punished?!"
"Yuer, shut up!" The queen hurriedly scolded Mo Yuanyue. No one could disobey the emperor at this time, otherwise no one would be able to save their life.
"Your Majesty, then I will choose another one for Prince Luo..." The Queen was still thinking about getting rid of Mo Yuchen, a great helper. After all, Xia Yanxiang had General Pu Wei and Right Prime Minister Tu Song behind her.
"No need to say more. The matter of marriage is not a joke. If the royal family abandons the first princess just because of a rumor, the face of the royal family will be lost." The emperor quickly stopped the queen from thinking about it.
Mo Yuchen thanked Mo Cheng: "Thank you, father, for your help."
Mo Yuanyue wanted to say something out of anger, but was stopped by a look from the Queen. Now that the Emperor had spoken, anyone who dared to say anything else would be seeking death, wouldn't that be?
"Father, I will take my leave now. I will return home and reflect on my mistakes." Mo Yuyang was too embarrassed to stay here any longer. He was afraid that he would fall in dismay if he stayed any longer.
The emperor nodded, and Mo Yuyang turned around and walked out with Xia Pinxiang. When he passed by Xia Yanxiang, he couldn't help but take a deep look at her before leaving.
"Since Dean Zhang is here, I wonder if he has brought any medicine so that Miss Xia San can clean it up?" Not to mention Mo Yuchen, even Concubine Su couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw Xia Yanxiang's red and swollen face.
"Your Highness, I have indeed brought it, but Miss Three needs to leave for a while to clean up before applying the medicine."
Concubine Su nodded, and Mo Yuanli said, "Then please ask Miss San to go to Narcissus Pavilion to clean up! Pipa, you take Miss San there."
"Yes." A big girl walked over quickly with her head lowered, bowed to Xia Yanxiang, and led her.
Xia Yanxiang secretly winked at Li Guan, who was stunned for a moment but still followed.
"I will take my leave first."
Mo Yuchen also bowed to the emperor and said, "I will take my leave."
After saying that, he hurriedly chased after Xia Yanxiang, the others, and Zhang Yuanzheng. As soon as they stepped out of the hall, everyone outside was staring at them.
"Hey! Seeing how nervous His Royal Highness Prince Luo is, Miss Xia San is definitely the Princess Luo, right?"
"It's not that when His Highness Prince Luo saw that the Third Miss was injured, he wanted to beat up the Fourth Miss Liu himself."
"Oh, I really envy Miss Three for having such a good life. She really caught the eye of His Royal Highness Prince Luo!"
……
Ling Ning, who had just returned from a stroll, happened to see Mo Yuchen chasing after Xia Yanxiang. He also heard everyone praising Xia Yanxiang for being lucky to be favored by Brother Luo Wang, and he was so angry that he also chased after him.
The servants of Xihe Mansion quickly prepared clean water and cotton cloth. Li Guan did not let anyone else do it, and he wet the cotton cloth himself to wipe Xia Yanxiang's face, while blaming himself: "It's all my fault. If I had reacted faster, she wouldn't have been able to touch even a strand of your hair."
"Alright." Xia Yanxiang grinned, "If she didn't hit me, how could you beat her like a pig? This is the only way to make her shut up."
Li Guanxin felt better now, wiped his face, turned to Zhang Yuanzheng and said, "Doctor, I've cleaned it up, come over."
Zhang Yuanzheng took the ointment, which was black in color. The three of them couldn't help but twitch their lips when they saw it. Seeing that Zhang Yuanzheng's medicine had been handed to them, Xia Yanxiang still stretched out her hand to stop him.
"Miss Third, this ointment is something I have been developing for many years. It is the most effective for this type of injury. Although it does look black, your injury will definitely heal within two days."
"..." Xia Yanxiang still resisted, "A Guan, bring me the sachet I gave you."
Li Guan took off the sachet as he was told and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"There's some Angelica dahurica in there. Grind it up and put it in this medicine."
Zhang Yuanzheng was a little surprised: "Angelica dahurica also has the effect of promoting skin growth?"
"...No, but it can blend the color and won't conflict with other drugs." She really couldn't stand this color. She had to go out later, how could she meet people with a black face? "Don't add water, mix it dry, and it will be absorbed in half a quarter of an hour."
Li Guan quickly ground the angelica dahurica, poured an appropriate amount into the medicine, and stirred it for a while. The ointment turned white as expected.
Li Guan was about to apply the ointment to Xia Yanxiang, but was interrupted by Mo Yuchen: "Your hands are too rough, let me do it."
