Chapter 153 Applying Medicine

In a dark and quiet room.

Zhiyuan sat at the table, looking up at the door from time to time. Occasionally, a wave of emotion flashed across that cold and pretty face, as if there was some kind of indescribable emotion.

Until not long after, footsteps were heard outside the door.

"Squeak!"

The door opens.

Lin Jiangnian walked in with a medicine basin, closed the door and walked to the table.

The strong medicinal aroma spreads in the room and is inhaled into the body, giving people a sense of spiritual comfort.

Zhiyuan glanced at the medicine basin placed on the table. There was dark green medicinal juice in the basin, and her eyes were a little unnatural.

"It's time to apply the medicine."

Lin Jiangnian pointed to the things in the medicine basin on the table: "You should know Tianxiang Ointment, right?"

Zhiyuan looked down at the medicine basin on the table and said nothing.

"It's okay if you don't know him. This medicine can cure your injuries and has miraculous effects."

Lin Jiangnian said: "Your internal injuries are not serious. You will recover after a period of rest. As for the external injuries..."

"Although the trauma is not very serious, if not treated properly, there is a risk of infection or even leaving ugly scars..."

Hearing this, Zhiyuan's face turned pale in an instant.

She was not very afraid of the wound infection, but when she heard that it would leave ugly scars, her expression changed slightly.

She knew very well that the injury on her back was serious. Under normal circumstances, scars would remain even after the wound healed. No matter how well the treatment was done, the scars could not be completely eliminated.

Although the wound is hidden, neither you nor others can see it, but after all, as a woman, how could you want to leave such an ugly scar on your body?

"This balm can not only heal your wounds and speed up the healing of the wounds, but can also repair the scars of the wounds, ensuring that they will not leave any traces after recovery and will be as smooth as ever..."

Hearing this, Zhiyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, but then a look of doubt came over him, and he stared at the pot of medicine on the table: "Is it really such a miraculous effect?"

"When did I lie to you?"

"..."

Zhiyuan, who originally still believed a little, suddenly didn't want to believe it anymore.

However, she did hear about Tianxiang Ointment. Logically speaking, a plaster like this shouldn't be so crude, right?

Seeming to see the confusion in Zhiyuan's eyes, Lin Jiangnian nodded and explained: "This is definitely not the real Tianxiang ointment!"

The real Tianxiang ointment is not that simple, and the required raw materials and production process are not that easy and simple.

"It's missing a few important ingredients, and there's no time to dry them, grind them, and prepare them. So it's not really a heavenly balm, but it's not bad at treating wounds."

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows: "The current conditions are simple, how about you make do with it for now? Will I get you the real Tianxiang ointment when you get back?"

Zhiyuan was silent, knowing that Lin Jiangnian might not have lied to her. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded slightly. Just when he was about to say something, he was startled again, glanced at Lin Jiangnian, and quickly looked away, still landing on the medicine basin on the table.

"I need to change my dressing!"

After a moment of silence, she suddenly spoke.

The voice was very soft, with a hint of shyness and uneasiness.

After he finished speaking, when Lin Jiangnian didn't respond, a trace of shame and anger flashed through his eyes.

"You, please go out first."

Lin Jiangnian stood there without moving, half-smiling but not smiling: "Can you change it by yourself?"

Zhiyuan was startled, then lowered his eyes, the shame and anger in his eyes becoming more and more obvious.

Can one person change the medicine?

Can't change it!

Apart from the wounds on her left arm, the biggest trauma was on her back. The trauma caused by the explosion was especially on the back. No matter how powerful she is, she can't apply medicine on her own back.

Clearly, help is needed.

But now here, who can I call for help?

In the dim room, an indescribable blush appeared on Zhiyuan's fair cheeks.

She bit her lip stubbornly and said nothing.

When she was in the secret room in the back mountain, she could still be brave enough to bandage the wound on her arm alone. But this time...

The wound was on her back and she couldn't do it herself.

Lin Jiangnian crossed his arms and looked at Zhiyuan with a smile. He rarely showed a bit of embarrassment, which was interesting.

"Do you need my help?"

Zhiyuan remained silent and said nothing.

Seeing this, Lin Jiangnian suddenly felt that it was not interesting anymore.

Originally, Xunsi planned to take this opportunity to tease her, but seeing Zhiyuan's uninterested silence, Lin Jiangnian felt bored.

"Okay, I'm kidding you."

Lin Jiangnian turned around and walked towards the door: "Shall I call the aunt to help you?"

You need to take off your clothes to apply medicine, but obviously, it is not practical to let Zhi Yuan take off her clothes in front of him. Although the two of them slept on the same bed last night, this may have been the biggest bottom line for Zhiyuan.

As for asking her to take off her clothes in front of Lin Jiangnian... it was almost impossible.

Lin Jiangnian was not yet confident enough that he could make this disobedient little maid obediently undress and wear a belt in front of him.

For now, we haven't reached this point yet.

Lin Jiang young shook his head lightly and walked to the door. When he was about to open the door, the sound of paper kites came from behind him again.

"etc."

The voice was very soft, with a hint of hesitation, a hint of nervousness, and a hint of uneasiness.

"Um?"

Lin Jiangnian stopped and turned his head suspiciously: "What?"

Suddenly I felt that this scene looked very familiar, like last night...

At the table, Zhiyuan was silent for a long time, then turned away and looked out the window on the other side of the room.

Take a deep breath.

"You come on."

The tone was neither cold nor indifferent, and there was no emotion.

"Hmm?"

Lin Jiangnian's expression was extremely wonderful, even more surprised than last night.

"What did you say?!"

He stared at Zhiyuan, but could only see a little red on Zhiyuan's fair face, and even the crystal clear ears seemed to be red.

Zhiyuan didn't look at him again, but turned and walked towards the bed. As he walked, he spoke.

"Come, help me change the medicine!"

The tone was very cold and concise, without a trace of nonsense.

It was more like an order.

A little maid dared to order him to be the prince?

However, Lin Jiangnian was not angry at all. He even suspected... Was her brain damaged?

Or was she no longer Zhiyuan? Was the previous Zhiyuan possessed, traveled through time? Or was she reborn?

Lin Jiangnian was stunned and looked at this scene in disbelief.

Until Zhiyuan walked to the bed, sat down and glanced back, a trace of shame and anger appeared on her face, bit her lip, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing.

She turned her head away, as if she was a little angry. She was angry and didn't want to speak. But then, she felt her face getting hotter.

She didn't like getting along with people, and she didn't like people getting close to her. Sleeping in the same bed with Lin Jiangnian last night was indeed her limit.

But maybe even Zhiyuan herself didn't realize it. For what happened last night, she didn't seem to be as resistant as she imagined?

As for now...

Zhiyuan lowered her eyes, even if she tried her best to restrain herself, the indescribable shyness still continued to emerge.

She naturally knew that she had to take off her clothes to apply the medicine, and she also knew what would happen... But she really couldn't do it alone.

To apply the medicine, someone needs help.

And the only person who can help her now is Lin Jiangnian.

As for that lady...

She is indeed very suitable. The lady is kind and enthusiastic, and treats her very well. She will definitely be happy to help.

But Zhiyuan doesn't want to!

She always kept a little vigilance against strangers in her heart, and was unwilling to expose herself to strangers.

Especially when she had to take off her clothes and expose her most vulnerable back to others.

That would make her very uncomfortable and insecure!

In comparison, if it was Lin Jiangnian... it seemed more acceptable?

Even Zhiyuan herself did not realize that she had gradually regarded Lin Jiangnian as her own without realizing it.

As someone she could trust?

Zhiyuan was thinking wildly, and felt that the figure not far away moved and slowly approached.

Her heart was hanging, and her nervousness became more and more.

At this time, Lin Jiangnian had already walked to the bedside. He stared at Zhiyuan for a few times, but he was still a little unsure... Did she really not change the person like herself?

After staring at Zhiyuan for a while, he still couldn't see what was wrong.

"Then, did I really change the medicine for you?"

Silence.

"If my service is not good, don't be angry?"

Still silent.

"Do you need me to help you take off your clothes?"

"..."

Zhiyuan turned around suddenly, her voice was very soft, with a hint of shame and anger and a deep tremor.

"I, I can do it myself."

Then, Lin Jiangnian saw Zhiyuan turn around, with her back to him, and put her hand on her waist to gently untie something.

As the thin rope around her waist fell, the coarse linen clothes on Zhiyuan slowly fell apart. Lin Jiangnian stood behind her, and from his sight, he could follow the girl's slender neck down and glimpse a few traces of snow-white skin through the untied clothes.

Zhiyuan's hand was placed on the edge of the clothes at her waist, and she paused, as if she had made up her mind, and slowly let go of her hand, and the clothes slid down the girl's snow-white and smooth shoulders, and the girl's delicate skin was exposed to the air.

There seemed to be a stream of cold air coming in from the door in the room, blowing on the girl's delicate skin. The girl's skin was white and tender, as pure and flawless as the snow in early winter. I don't know if it was because of the cold or shyness, but when all the outer clothes were taken off, I could clearly feel Zhiyuan's delicate body trembling.

At this moment, Zhiyuan knelt on the bed with her back to Lin Jiangnian. Her snow-white and slender hands subconsciously blocked her chest. She only had a light-colored girl's bellyband on her upper body, and the thin rope was wrapped around her back, small and delicate.

Seeing this scene, even though Lin Jiangnian had a deep exchange with Xiaozhu and made great progress in learning, he was vaguely eager to learn again...

Lin Jiangnian quickly looked away: "You, why don't you lie down?"

Zhiyuan trembled slightly and didn't speak. But she got up obediently and slowly lay on the bed.

Perhaps she felt a little safe, Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, buried her head in the quilt, and didn't move.

Lin Jiangnian approached the bed and looked at Zhiyuan's smooth jade back. He checked the wound that had been bandaged before. The wound did not get worse, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then, shall I change the dressing for you now?" Lin Jiangnian glanced at her.

Zhiyuan, with her head buried in the bed, did not move, pretending to be dead.

No reaction, that means consent.

Lin Jiangnian gently reached out and untied the thin string of the bellyband behind the girl. As the string fell, Zhiyuan's back was no longer covered by any clothes, and her snow-white body was exposed.

Lin Jiangnian was focused and gently removed the bandage on the previous wound. The wound had improved a lot, but there was still a lot of blood left, which looked shocking.

The back that was originally smooth like jade now looked a little horrible.

Lin Jiangnian's heart sank.

If Zhiyuan hadn't sacrificed herself to save him, he would have been the one who suffered the most. All these injuries were borne by Zhiyuan for him.

A trace of anger flashed in Lin Jiangnian's eyes, but he quickly restrained it. His voice was very light, with a bit of pity: "Does it hurt?"

No response.

Zhiyuan really pretended to be dead.

"I'll help you apply medicine now. It may be a little painful. Just bear with it."

Lin Jiangnian helped Zhiyuan deal with the blood stains on her back, carefully brought the medicine basin, and then gently helped her apply medicine.

When the cool ointment fell on the wound on Zhiyuan's back, the strong stimulation made her body tremble slightly, and she tensed in vain.

Lin Jiangnian paused and looked up at her: "Does it hurt?"

Under the pillow, Zhiyuan's somewhat hoarse voice came: "No, it's okay..."

Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian hesitated and continued to help her apply medicine, but his hands were lighter and more careful.

After applying the ointment to all the wounds, Lin Jiangnian carefully bandaged the wounds again with bandages.

From the beginning to the end, the movements were very careful.

When all this was done, Lin Jiangnian breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's done!"

On the bed, Zhiyuan was still motionless. Lying on the bed, her hair was messy, her head was buried under her hair, her snow-white hands gently grasped the bed, her upper body was naked, and her lower body was looming...

Why does this look feel a little wrong?

Like after the incident?

"I'll go out first?"

After Lin Jiangnian looked at her for a few more times, he retracted his gaze and gently covered her with the clothes beside her, covering the girl's spring light exposed in his sight, and then tidied up the things in the room and went out.

"Bang!"

The door closed gently.

It was not until Lin Jiangnian left for a long time that Zhiyuan slowly sat up in the room.

Under the messy hair was a blushing face, white and red, blushing like snow.

The girl was so beautiful!

In those clear and bright eyes, it was hard to hide the shyness.

She lowered her eyes and looked at herself, her clothes were disheveled, and her upper body was naked.

It seemed that nothing was seen, but it seemed that everything was seen?

Although the bandaged wound on her back could not be seen, she could feel Lin Jiangnian's previous carefulness and seriousness. There was still a little pain in the wound, but it soon disappeared.

Instead, there was an indescribable emotion.

Like, joy?

Zhiyuan was in a trance, it was difficult to describe this feeling.

She grew up in the Jiang family in Jiangnan, and depended on the sister of Princess Lin, and had almost no contact with any opposite sex.

From childhood to adulthood, the only opposite sex she had contacted was the Prince of Lin.

However, in the past few years since she entered the Prince of Lin's mansion, she did not have much contact with the Prince of Lin. In most cases, the master and servant fought openly and secretly, and competed against each other.

To say that I really had a lot of contact with His Highness the Prince, I have to start from half a year ago...

It seems that it started after His Highness was attacked in the temple?

Zhiyuan stared blankly at the door, worried about gains and losses.
