Chapter 544 It’s as sweet as sugar
Grandpa Gao's reminder was indeed very thoughtful, and Zhu Yu quickly and sincerely thanked him.

After thinking for a moment, Eunuch Gao added, "This old servant thinks the Princess is a reasonable person, so I'll say a few more words."

His Majesty can be quite hot-tempered at times, but he is the kindest person in private.

Today's events were probably a case of things piling up, which already put His Majesty in a difficult position, and then the Prince became stubborn, which led to this situation.

"You should let the Prince recover well. There might still be room for maneuver. Once things settle down in the Brahma Kingdom, His Majesty will eventually remember the father-son relationship of over twenty years and won't truly let you suffer outside."

"Then I'll take your kind words, Eunuch Gao." Zhu Yu nodded and thanked him.

Lu Qing was covered in blood after being beaten. Fu Wen and Fu Lu originally intended to carry Lu Qing away, but at this moment, someone in the crowd watching the commotion from a distance couldn't bear to see him suffer and brought them a large wooden board.

The two brothers carefully lifted Lu Qing onto the wooden board, and slowly lifted him up, one in front and one behind. Zhu Yu followed beside them, and the group walked through the streets and markets, returning to the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion under the watchful eyes of passersby.

Lu Qing and the others were gone for a long time, and when they returned, they were brought back in a prison cart. Now, they were beaten and carried back to the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion, their flesh mangled and bloody. This terrified the few servants in the mansion, who surrounded them and asked what had happened.

Zhu Yu had the talismans keep everyone else outside, as she didn't want anyone to disturb Lu Qing at the moment. She then retrieved the wound medicine that Zhao Mama had thoughtfully prepared and closed the door to treat Lu Qing's injuries first.

Lu Qing was settled on the bed by the runes and talismans, lying face up. He had been fully conscious the whole time, but he hadn't looked up while he was outside. Now that no one else was around, he turned his head and forced a smile at the expressionless Zhu Yu.

Zhu Yu didn't speak. He walked to the bedside and carefully took advantage of the fact that the wound on Lu Qing's back was still bleeding and hadn't dried so that the clothes wouldn't stick to his skin. He quickly cut off the whole piece of cloth with scissors and threw it aside.

This exposed Lu Qing's entire back to her view.

The old and new scars that used to be on his back were no longer visible; only a blurry expanse of flesh and blood remained, with countless places where the skin and flesh had been torn open by the sticks, from which blood was gushing out.

Upon seeing this scene, Zhu Yu could no longer hold back her tears.

Hot tears fell onto the wound on Lu Qing's back, causing him to instinctively shiver.

Zhu Yu was startled and quickly turned around to wipe her tears, afraid that the tears would drip onto the wound and cause Lu Qing more pain.

But the emotions that had been suppressed so much earlier were now uncontrollable once the tears broke free. The more she wiped them away, the more they flowed, and the faster they flowed.

Suddenly, her other hand, which was hanging by her side, was tugged.

Zhu Yu was startled and quickly turned around to look. She saw Lu Qing struggling to raise one arm and gently holding her fingers.

"It's alright, don't worry." Lu Qing was barely able to breathe, so his voice wasn't very loud and could only be barely heard. However, he still tried to maintain a calm smile, as if he wasn't the one who was injured and he wasn't in any pain at all. "I'm really fine."

"Don't be fooled by my bloodied and mangled appearance; I'm actually not seriously injured. Those guards were very skillful. Their blows were loud and seemed heavy, but the force was all on the surface. The cuts and lacerations were just minor skin pain; they didn't damage my internal organs. With just some wound medicine, I'll recover in a short time."

"Okay, I understand. Don't say anything, just lie still quietly." Zhu Yu held back her tears and nodded.

Lu Qing would never lie to him, and the fact that he was so badly injured yet still had the strength to talk to him so much and was very clear-headed was enough to prove that he had not suffered any real harm.

Thinking about it this way, she felt a little better, at least she could hold back her tears and start treating Lu Qing's wounds.

"I need to clean your wound. It will definitely hurt during the process, and if the wound is too deep, it will need to be stitched up. You must bear with it..."

Or if the pain is really bad, please remember to tell me, and I'll think of another way.

"Don't worry, your husband isn't that incompetent." Lu Qing blinked slowly, which was considered a nod. "My wife personally helped me heal my injuries, and I am more than happy to do such a good thing."

"Pah, pah, pah! Don't talk nonsense! What kind of good thing is this! It's best if it never happens again!" Zhu Yu felt that these words were unlucky and quickly stopped Lu Qing from continuing.

Lu Qing readily agreed and changed his tune, saying, "It's a good thing that I was able to save my life; otherwise, there would have been no chance for me."

Zhu Yu agreed with this point, so she gently treated Lu Qing's wound, carefully using her best techniques to sew the open wound on Lu Qing's back back up. Even if she couldn't leave no scar, at least it wouldn't look as gruesome as before.

After treating the wound that needed stitches, I used the strong liquor sent in through the talisman to wash my entire back.

Lu Qing didn't utter a sound, but when the strong liquor was splashed on him, he still gritted his teeth, and every muscle in his body tensed up instantly.

Zhu Yu carefully applied the best wound medicine to the wound and used a clean, soft cloth to bandage a large area of ​​Lu Qing's wound. Only then did she finally breathe a sigh of relief and sit weakly on the edge of the bed.

"The Emperor will issue the decree first thing tomorrow morning," she said to Lu Qing. "Is there anything I need to pack? Tell me, and I'll take care of it for you. You can rest here tonight, and we'll leave tomorrow morning before the decree arrives, so that when we leave here, there won't be any seals on our backs, making it seem like we've been kicked out."

Zhu Yu's sullen expression made Lu Qing want to laugh, but the slight vibration in his chest still caused pain, so he had to forcefully suppress his laughter.

"Madam's considerations coincide with mine, and I don't want to leave in a bad way."

"Please ask my wife to gather the servants in a moment, and tell them not to panic when they see the palace servants coming to deliver the imperial edict and affix the seals tomorrow. They can stay here; no one will make things difficult for them. They can continue doing what they normally do without any impact," he whispered to Zhu Yu.

"Okay, what about that thing? Is there anything I need to pack?" Zhu Yu asked again.

Lu Qing shook his head slightly: "All the property in the mansion will remain here untouched."

Tell the talisman master to prepare a carriage. We'll leave here when it's dark and quiet outside.
