Yan Qianqian
Yan Jie saw the scars on Bai Yun Lan's back and arms, and couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath.
Those shocking scars not only made people feel pity, but also made one imagine how ruthless Wei Shengsheng had been when she struck.
Yan Jie quickly took out the ointment he had prepared earlier from his bosom, scooped out a bit with his finger, and carefully applied it to Bai Yun Lan's back.
The moment the ointment touched the wound, Bai Yun Lan suddenly felt a coolness wash over him, and the burning pain from the beating was relieved at that moment, making him involuntarily exhale.
"Jie'er, this ointment of yours is truly divine!" Bai Yun Lan said delightedly, "It feels cool upon application, and the original pain has lessened considerably all at once."
While continuing to apply the ointment to Bai Yun Lan, Yan Jie smiled and replied, "This is an ointment I formulated myself, so of course the effect is not bad."
Hearing this, Bai Yun Lan's curiosity was piqued, and he asked curiously, "How did you come up with making this kind of ointment?"
Yan Jie paused slightly, then slowly said, "Actually, it's because my elder sister likes martial arts, and she often gets injured during training.
Moreover, the ointments on the market A Ren't very effective; every time my sister got injured, she would grit her teeth in pain. So, I wanted to make a better ointment myself, one that could both lessen her pain and help her wounds heal faster."
After hearing this, Bai Yun Lan couldn't help but give Yan Jie a thumbs up, exclaiming, "Jie'er, you are truly a thoughtful person! Moreover, you have such a talent for medicine, actually being able to formulate such a good ointment yourself. By the way, have you ever refined pills?"
Yan Jie quickly waved his hand and said, "That's not the case. The one who taught me medicine was the Imperial Physician in the palace; they mainly taught me how to gather herbs and cure diseases and save people. This skill of making ointments was actually something I figured out myself."
Hearing this, Bai Yun Lan couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, praising, "You are truly amazing! Actually being able to research such a good ointment yourself.
I have my eldest brother teaching me, and my eldest uncle also guiding me, before I could barely refine pills, and I often explode the furnace! So I generally just research some poison powder to carry on my person, for emergencies."
After hearing this, Yan Jie became even more curious about pill refinement, and he said excitedly, "I am quite interested in pill refinement. It just so happens that I went to Shenyi Gu this time, so I can study it properly."
Seeing this, Bai Yun Lan quickly proposed, "Just studying is boring! Let me take you to play in the back mountains. There are many herbs there, and many cute little animals! Moreover, I have raised two lop-eared rabbits on the back mountains, one male and one female, how fun!"
Yan Jie was somewhat tempted, but he still had some misgivings, saying, "Bai Second Brother, I need to learn pill refinement quickly. Otherwise, if I stay in Shenyi Gu and don't go home, my mother will worry."
Bai Yun Lan replied thoughtfully, "Hmm, that's very good."
Next, a hint of a sly smile appeared on his face, and he continued, "Then let's do this. When you return to Jingcheng, I will go back with you. Grandfather usually doesn't allow us to leave the valley, but since you can come out, presumably bringing me along isn't difficult, right?"
Hearing this, Yan Jie silently cursed in his heart. He knew Bai Yun Lan's nature was always lively and active, unrestrained by trifles. If he really brought him back to Jingcheng, he feared he would be tossed about enough to choke.
However, facing Bai Yun Lan's expectant gaze, he truly found it hard to refuse. After hesitating repeatedly, Yan Jie finally nodded helplessly, indicating his agreement.
Yan Jie changed the subject, saying, "Use this ointment first. If it's not enough, I have more." After speaking, he placed the ointment on the table, then casually tidied Bai Yun Lan's clothing to avoid getting ointment on it.
After Bai Yun Lan applied the ointment and let it dry for a while, he quickly put on his clothing. While tying his sash, he looked at Yan Jie with a half-smile and said, "You mean to let me get beaten every day?"
Yan Jie was immediately embarrassed by this and quickly waved his hand to explain, "Bai Second Brother, I absolutely have no such meaning, just being prepared for the unexpected."
The atmosphere between the two was slightly awkward, but fortunately the ointment had been applied by then, and the topic naturally shifted.
At the same time, Qianqian on the other side was using lightness arts, flying toward the Imperial Palace as lightly as a swallow. She held a token, and her way was unobstructed all along, soon reaching the entrance of Yudi.
However, when she asked the guards at the entrance about the Emperor's whereabouts, she was told that the Emperor was not in Yudi, but in the Imperial Garden.
Qianqian headed toward the Imperial Garden and arrived in the blink of an eye. From afar, she saw the Emperor playing chess with the Empress, the two of them taking turns, neither yielding, the scene like a beautiful painting scroll.
Qianqian walked forward lightly and said in a coquettish voice, "Huang Bobe, Imperial Aunt, you two are so refined!" Hearing this, the Empress's face flushed with a shy red, and she scolded, "You little monkey, you even dare to tease the Emperor!"
The Emperor didn't mind. He smiled and glanced at Qianqian, then said in a gentle voice, "Speak. You, this girl who doesn't visit the Three Treasures Hall for no reason, what exactly are you here for today?"
Qianqian giggled, showing two little tiger teeth, and said mischievously, "Huang Bobe, you shouldn't say that. It's as if I spend all my time causing trouble and then come to you to wipe my butt."
The Emperor lightly patted Qianqian's forehead and laughed while scolding, "You little girl, why is your speech so vulgar?"
Qianqian wasn't angry at all. Instead, she said with a laugh, "However, Huang Bobe, although I didn't cause trouble today, my brother... he caused trouble!"
Hearing this, the Emperor slightly furrowed his brow and subconsciously asked, "Yan Si caused trouble?"
In his impression, Yan Wang had a steady character and was taciturn, just like An Wang, a very reliable person. How could he cause trouble?
Qianqian smiled slightly, then said softly, "Huang Bobe, you really guessed wrong! This matter... it's a long story." Hearing this, the Emperor looked at Qianqian with great interest and asked curiously, "Oh? How 'long' is it?"
Qianqian blinked her big eyes and replied without hesitation, "Hmm... it might take a pot of good tea, along with several plates of exquisite pastries!"
Her tone was light and playful, as if this were just a most ordinary request.
After hearing this, the Emperor couldn't help but be amused, laughing and saying, "Haha, does your father not feed you, so you come here to mooch food and drink from me?"
Qianqian quickly waved her hands and explained, "Huang Bobe's place tastes better." As she spoke, she looked at the Emperor, her big eyes bright and lively, making people feel fond of her at first sight.
