Chapter 350: Bai Zhi's Punishment

Look at this state, who knows what poison they ate, suddenly becoming excited. Zi Su watched Zhang Cunwen walk out, really couldn't hold back her comment.

Usually, Zi Su just watches without speaking, but this time she really couldn't hold back!

After all, they're still just a child. Jiang Yunchu also laughed and shook their head.

Several doctors, please come with me to rest elsewhere.

These people still cannot be sent away; we need to wait for the Princess Consort to confirm they're alright before they can leave the residence.

But in the courtyard, they also prepared good food and drink to serve them; as long as there's no ill intent, they can be given a high consultation fee and then be properly sent off.

If there is ill intent, then……

Don't mind knowing the true methods of the Regent Prince's Manor.

Zi Su pursed their lips; previously they thought guarding the residence was hard, but they never imagined what the Princess Consort had experienced outside.

Every day walking on the blade's edge, a slight misstep leads to body crushed to powder.

You should go rest too? Jiang Yunchu looked at Zi Wei standing guard aside; the little maid has been busy all along, busy half a day.

Zi Wei shook their head, firmly saying, "I won't leave; with such a large wound, if it gets late, I'm afraid it will fever."

"I can't leave." After saying that, they firmly nodded.

I'm tired after a day, how can my body hold up? I'm fine, isn't the wound already treated?

If you develop a fever at night, Zi Su will call you and the doctor; how could we do without you?

Go rest quickly.

If there's a fever, they have pills to take, which is better than drinking bitter medicinal liquid, and works faster.

Although knowing herbal medicine is more nourishing, mainly they can't endure this life's bitterness!

Alright.

Zi Wei, like a little adult, when leaving, deliberately turned back and said, "Dean, if you develop a fever, you must definitely say it; you can't just endure it."

Definitely let Zi Su or Bai Zhi tell me.

Good!

Only after accepting Jiang Yunchu's assurance did Zi Wei finally feel relieved and walk out.

Without washing up, not even taking off clothes, returning to the room, lying on the bed, they fell asleep directly.

And Nai Xin, who lived together with them, slowly helped them take off the dirty outer clothing; when treating the wound, the wide sleeves were stained with much blood.

It could also be the enemy's blood splattered during the killing of enemies.

"Master, you rest a while." After Zi Su saw off the doctor, they had the mansion's guards seal off that courtyard so not even mosquitoes could fly in.

"Bring me a cup of water, I'll take some medicine."

They had Zi Wei take the pills from a nearby package; this is because they feared an accident, they specially exchanged them from the exchange space.

There were fever-reducing pills, anti-inflammatory medicine, and some medical alcohol.

All were exchanged by them, so they weren't afraid of being recognized.

"These pills are rather unique." Zi Su merely sighed, then they found the medicine the master needed together and placed it in Jiang Yunchu's hand.

"This is warm water, and this is the candied fruit found in the mansion; it might not be as tasty as ours."

"Master, please make do for now."

Soon the medicine will be boiled outside; the master, who dislikes taking medicine, will likely need coaxing for a long while; after Zi Su saw off the doctor, they hurried to find a plate of candied fruit.

Still, my Zi Su is thoughtful.

Zi Su looked at the master's carefree sigh and smiled helplessly.

Our master is just like that; seems like after staying with children for a long time, they occasionally have many mischievous moments.

"Master, please rest; soon Bai Zhi and the Kang Clan Grand Madam will bring the medicine over."

This time, with the incident, everyone is extra careful; everything must go through our own people's hands, otherwise they won't feel at ease.

In dealing with them, we can set up such a big scheme.

The lives of several hundred people can be completely disregarded; those people over there are likely risking everything.

Good.

Jiang Yunchu sighed, taking medicine……

Unavoidable medicinal soup!

The spirit already somewhat sunk, the wound constantly faintly ached, the complexion pale, face full of cold sweat; whenever the pain became unbearable, they couldn't help but furrow their brows.

Zi Su feared affecting the master's sleep, they blew out the indoor lamp; the outdoor lamp shone in from a distance, neither glaring nor obscuring vision.

After half an hour, a soft knocking sounded.

"Zi Su sister, has the Princess Consort slept?" Bai Zhi held a tray and asked softly.

Zi Su nodded, "They're asleep, I'll call them to take medicine."

Everything else can be delayed, but the medicine cannot; it must be taken on time, the Princess Consort's shoulder suffered such a heavy injury, how could they bear it?

Zi Su gently touched the bowl's wall, felt the temperature—neither cold nor hot, just right.

"Master, take the medicine."

Zi Su placed the medicine bowl to one side, then softly called out; the Princess Consort usually sleeps lightly, but this time they didn't wake.

"Master, take the medicine."

Zi Su again raised their voice and called once more.

Jiang Yunchu instinctively wanted to lift their right hand, but the intense pain instantly woke them.

This person, after being at ease for too long, really develops laziness.

"Is Bai Zhi outside?" After being helped up by Zi Su, Jiang Yunchu softly asked.

"Replying to master, Bai Zhi is here." Bai Zhi quickly answered.

Jiang Yunchu smiled, "Come in."

Bai Zhi slowly walked into the inner tent; the inner tent was somewhat dim, but she could still see her master's bound shoulders, a shocking sight.

"Master, you need to take your medicine before speaking."

The medicine was just warmed; it will cool soon, and cold medicine harms the body, so you can't drink it again.

"Okay."

Jiang Yunchu closed her eyes, held the medicine bowl in her left hand, and directly gulped down half a bowl of medicine.

Zi Su quickly took a piece of candied fruit and brought it to the master's lips.

"All right."

Jiang Yunchu waved her hand, indicating she was fine.

"Bai Zhi, it's not your fault; I was careless this time."

She looked at Bai Zhi; without her instruction, Bai Zhi would not have left her side.

When Bai Zhi left, she had asked for permission, and only after I agreed did she leave.

Basically, it was my own carelessness that led to the current situation.

"No, master, I just wanted to go play and completely forgot that we were outside, especially at this time, which is very dangerous."

"It's my problem."

Bai Zhi knelt on the ground, shook her head, knowing all along that the Princess Consort treated her well.

But I am clearly supposed to protect the Princess Consort, yet I constantly put the master in danger, each time causing her harm.

She truly deserves death ten thousand times.

"You!"

"Then I'll punish you: guard my door tonight, don't let anyone disturb me; the Princess Consort needs to rest properly."

"Can you do that?"

She raised her eyebrows, otherwise what could be done?

In this situation, the stubborn Bai Zhi certainly won't get any rest.

Letting her go back to rest would only make her more anxious; it's better to keep her by my side, give her a task, so she might feel better.
