Chapter 122 Beautiful and Generous
"Loyalty? Peace?" Princess An Ziying was also quite surprised to see the two of them at the clinic.
An Chang was very surprised, "Zi Ying, why did you leave the palace?"
As he spoke, he strode to the entrance of the clinic, peered outside, and muttered to himself, "Just as I thought."
Then she ran back to An Ziying, "You snuck out?"
The seventh princess lowered her eyes and remained silent when faced with difficult questions.
The master is gentle and timid, but the maid Jin'er is very brave.
Seeing that the princess remained silent, Jin'er stepped forward and said:
"The princess is in great pain. Some servants have said that there might be a more skilled doctor in the city's pharmacies."
We...we snuck out..."
"Sneaked out?" Zhao Jinzhong was shocked.
Jin'er lowered her head slightly and spoke softly:
"Yes, I stole...no! I took the Imperial Concubine's token."
As long as we get back before dark, we won't be discovered.
An Chang exclaimed in amazement, "You guys are really bold."
Zhou Ruo silently walked to Zhao Jinzhong's side, took his hand, looked at the Seventh Princess, and asked, "Brother, who is this pretty sister?"
"Pretty lady?" An Chang asked in surprise, "Ruo Ruo, you can tell she's pretty even with her face veiled?"
"Of course! Sister is like a fairy." This was the first time Zhou Ruo had seen such a beautiful girl in the mortal world.
The Seventh Princess herself has never seen her true appearance since birth, so how could anyone else possibly know?
She thought the child must just have a sweet tongue, and she smiled at Zhou Ruo.
Although there was a veil between them, the smile of the Seventh Princess could be seen just from her crescent-shaped eyes.
"Wow~ Sister looks even more beautiful when she smiles!" Zhou Ruo said from the bottom of her heart.
An Chang sighed, thinking to herself, "Zhou Ruo hasn't seen the birthmark under Zi Ying's veil yet."
Once she sees it, she definitely won't be so surprised and excited to praise Ziying's beauty.
Zhou Ruo suddenly grabbed the Seventh Princess's hand and said, "Sister, shall I remove what's on your face for you?"
The Seventh Princess instinctively thought that Zhou Ruo was going to lift her veil, and she was so frightened that she quickly took a few steps back and pressed her hands tightly to her face.
"An Chang, whose child is this? Quickly discipline him!" The Seventh Princess was quite frightened.
Zhao Jinzhong quickly explained, "Seventh Princess, this is my sister. She meant no harm."
Seeing Zhao Jinzhong speak up, the Seventh Princess couldn't continue blaming Zhou Ruo. "When did you get a younger sister?"
"This is a long story." Zhao Jinzhong felt that Zhou Ruo's attitude towards the Seventh Princess was somewhat unusual, so he asked:
"Ruoruo, have you discovered something?"
Zhou Ruo was still feeling a little disappointed by the sudden departure of the Seventh Princess.
She told Zhao Jinzhong, "Brother, my sister has a poisonous scar on her face. I want to get rid of it so that she won't have to wear a veil anymore."
"Poison Scar?" Zhao Jinzhong had never seen the Seventh Princess's true face; she always wore a veil whenever he saw her.
He had only heard that the Seventh Princess had a birthmark on her face since birth, and he did not know that she had a poisonous scar on her face.
Jin'er thought Zhou Ruo's description of the "poisonous scar" was too harsh and corrected her:
"You're talking nonsense! That's a birthmark on our princess's face, not some kind of poisonous scar!"
Zhou Ruo shook her head. "This thing was there when my sister was born, but it's poisonous, and it keeps growing."
The Seventh Princess and Jin'er looked at each other, finding it hard to believe that the child wasn't just a guess.
Even if it's just a guess, it wouldn't be explained so clearly, would it?
The seventh princess was born with a birthmark the size of a thumb on her face.
Now the princess is almost twelve years old, and the birthmark has grown to the size of a palm.
"Jinzhong, your sister...?" The Seventh Princess pleaded with Zhao Jinzhong.
Zhao Jinzhong understood the Seventh Princess's doubts about Zhou Ruo's words, and he said:
"Seventh Princess, my younger sister Zhou Ruo knows some medicine. If you trust me, you can let her treat you."
The seventh princess was still hesitant. Putting aside whether she could be cured, she didn't even have the courage to unveil herself to strangers.
Zhou Ruo asked the Seventh Princess, "Sister, your face gets numb from the cold when you sleep at night, but it gets burning hot like it's being roasted by fire at noon, right?"
"You...?" The Seventh Princess was so surprised that she couldn't speak. Heaven knows how much she had suffered every day and night.
It took Jin'er a while to react before she exclaimed in surprise, "Heavens! Princess, what she said is all right! How is that possible?"
Suddenly, Jia Yuntian, who had been quietly observing from the side, said, "Miss, could the symptoms you described be a heat-cold toxicity syndrome?"
Zhou Ruo was pleasantly surprised that there was a second person around her who knew about this poison.
She tilted her head to look at Jia Yuntian, and asked him with a smile, "You know that, right?"
Jia Yuntian was a little embarrassed, "I've seen it in medical books before. I remember the book also said that this poison is extremely difficult to cure."
Physicians struggle to maintain the balance between heat, cold, and toxins. Furthermore…
Jia Yuntian couldn't bring himself to say what came next.
An Chang: "And what?"
Jia Yuntian smiled and said, "It's nothing."
Zhou Ruo grabbed the Seventh Princess's hand and shook it from side to side, "Sister, sister, please let me heal you!"
"Now that I've gotten rid of the freckles, you don't need to wear a veil anymore, and we can be beautiful and confident!"
Zhao Jinzhong was puzzled. What was wrong with Zhou Ruo today?
I've never seen anyone so eager to treat another's illness.
Zhou Ruo's words touched the Seventh Princess.
From as far back as she can remember, she didn't know what dressing up meant; she always wore a veil whenever she left the house.
She never imagined that the word "beautiful" would one day be used to describe herself.
Moreover, Zhou Ru just said that she wanted to be beautiful "in a generous and natural way".
She was tempted; she longed to remove her veil and let the sunlight shine on her face.
The Seventh Princess glanced at the sky and asked Zhou Ruo, "Little sister, how long will it take you to treat me?"
Zhou Ruo said, "A quarter of an hour, that'll be quick."
The Seventh Princess looked at An Chang, who was completely bewildered.
She looked at Zhao Jinzhong again, and Zhao Jinzhong gave her a look that reassured her not to be afraid.
She glanced at Jin'er one last time. Jin'er's brows were furrowed, but she nodded in support of the princess's treatment.
"Okay, I'll treat them. But not here, I need them... to stay away."
Zhao Jinzhong gestured for them, saying, "Princess, go upstairs. There's no one upstairs; it's very safe."
The seventh princess nodded, "Mm."
Zhou Ruo cheered immediately, "Great! I can disinfect the pretty lady now!"
She took the Seventh Princess's hand and quickly went upstairs to the second floor.
After watching Zhou Ruo and the Seventh Princess go upstairs, An Chang turned back and asked Jia Yuntian:
"You were being ambiguous just now, you only said half of what you meant, and what?"
Seeing that the Seventh Princess was no longer present, Jia Yuntian told An Chang:
"Even if the heat and cold poison can be cured, the poisoned person will not live more than twenty years."
An Chang, in a panic, stepped forward and grabbed Jia Yuntian's collar.
"What did you say? You mean that even if Ruoruo cures Ziying today, Ziying only has twenty years left to live?"
Jia Yuntian didn't expect An Chang to be so excited. He raised his hands and said:
"Young Master An, please calm down. It's not that you can live for another twenty years after being cured; it's that from the moment you are poisoned, you won't live past twenty years."
An Chang was furious and grabbed Jia Yuntian's clothes even tighter.
"Please, Prince An, this is all from the books," Jia Yuntian pleaded.
Zhao Jinzhong quickly stepped forward to separate the two and comforted An Chang, saying, "Don't worry, maybe Ruoruo has a way."
Jia Yuntian quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, perhaps Miss has a solution!"
