Chapter 17 – Treatment

Others might not know Chu Jinglan's intentions, but Tang Qingfeng was very clear about it. The best doctor in the entire Wangdu wasn't elsewhere, but in King Lan mansion.

At this moment, Lu Heng was reading in the room. Thinking that they ought to be back by now, he got up to meet them at the front courtyard. Unexpectedly, once the door was opened, Chu Jinglan actually came in with a girl in his arms. He was somewhat stunned and as he drew closer, the face looked rather familiar.

"......Isn't this Ye Huaiyang? What happened?"

Chu Jinglan didn't halt his steps. As he walked towards Fuyu Xuan, he briefly stated, "Treat her first."

She was wounded?

Lu Heng was rather surprised. According to the information gathered by the shadow guards from Tianqi restaurant, all those bodyguards were extremely skilled in martial arts, particularly the one called Ci Yuan who usually protected Ye Huaiyang closely. How could she get injured? He walked into the room with doubts. When he got closer to look after Chu Jinglan placed her on the bed, the entire left shoulder and the upper arm were covered in blood. There was no hole on her clothes. It was probably caused by old injuries. As a doctor, he couldn't help but frowned.

"Go get the medicine box from my room."

Lu Heng ordered without looking back. The maidservant immediately trotted away and soon came in with a wooden box. Lu Heng single-handedly took and placed it on the stool beside the bed. He took out a pair of scissors while releasing the bed curtains. Merely the sounds of snapping were heard as bloodstains rags were thrown under the bed by him. Chu Jinglan glimpsed at it before he looked up at the bed again where the obscured figure of the bustling Lu Heng suddenly stopped moving.

"She still dares to drink alcohol with such a deep wound. I think she is looking for death!"

The alcoholic smell on Ye Huaiyang's body was too strong to be ignored. This was truly jabbing at Lu Heng's achilles' heel. He would have definitely thrown Ye Huaiyang out if Chu Jinglan wasn't staring behind him. Why would he treat a patient who didn't cherish herself?

"Is it serious?"

"There is only a tear on the shoulder. Such a small injury is nothing if I could cure you when you fell off from that high cliff."

Though Lu Heng jested, he was meticulous with his treatment. He first cleaned up the bloodstains on Ye Huaiyang's shoulder, then he removed the thread and sutured the wound again before smearing some specially-made salve. The whole process was done at one go and the bleeding was quickly stopped. Ye Huaiyang didn't suffer much since his skills were distinctive and fast.

"Okay, she would be fine after drinking a course of antipyretic medicine."

Lu Heng slipped out from the bed curtains. He walked over to pick some soap flakes from the wash rack and started rubbing his hands. Several maidservants immediately walked in where they changed her clothing, wiped her sweat and retreated outside once they had helped settle Ye Huaiyang down.

Chu Jinglan only stepped forward and lifted the bed curtains after that. Under the thin quilt, Ye Huaiyang appeared particularly thin, as if she would be shattered with just a touch. The palm-sized face that was exposed outside the quilt was unusually flushed. The sound of her chaotic heavy breathing struck his empty heart like a bell pestle, echoing for a long time.
