King's Regrets
The Eps 58
"Miss, miss. Miss Xia."
Xiao Wei ran over while calling out Xia Lian An's name.
Xia Lian An who heard that came out from inside her room and saw Xiao Wei running towards her.
"What is Xiao Wei, why are you in such a hurry?"
Xiao Wei stopped right in front of Xia Lian An, she tried to regulate her breath that was panting.
"No... Miss, princess.. The princess is coming, she... She's.."
"Talk right Xiao Wei, what's wrong with the eldest brother?"
Xiao Wei took a breath and exhaled slowly.
"Miss, the princess is coming, she's... He's hurt."
"What, the eldest brother is injured? Where is he now?"
"In the car, miss. His leg's been hit by an arrow."
"Let's get there!"
Xia Lian An walked quickly towards the carriage that was boarded by the eldest daughter, followed by Xiao Wei behind her.
"Sister, what really happened. What's with the big brother's leg?" Xia Lian An said as soon as she saw the eldest daughter on the carriage.
"I'll tell you later, now help me first."
"Ah, yes."
Xia Lian An helped Xiao Wei get the eldest daughter off the train, and took her to one of the rooms in Xia Lian An's house.
"Xiao Wei, get some warm water and get the healer over here."
"Well miss."
After Xiao Wei left, Xia Lian An saw the foot of the eldest daughter which still had arrowheads and wood stuck there.
Carefully, Xia Lian An tore off the clothes that the eldest daughter was wearing, and now it was clearly visible the arrow that stuck at the feet of the eldest daughter.
"Miss, here's the warm water. I'll call the healer now." Xiao Wei.
Xia Lian An, squeezed the cloth that was already inside the container filled with warm water, then wiped the feet of the eldest daughter who was dirty with splashes of blood.
"Sister, what exactly happened?" Xia Lian An asked.
"Someone knows I have evidence of a crime from one of the ministers. Then when I was coming here, I was chased by his man. Those who can't chase me shoot at me, and my feet get hit by their arrows."
Xia Lian An looked at the wound that the eldest daughter had.
"Miss, the healer is already here." Said Xiao Wei who came with the healer.
The physician immediately approached the eldest daughter, and saw her feet.
"I will pluck the rest of this arrow from the lady's feet, please bear the pain." Say that physician.
"Okay, do it."
The physician then held the broken arrow that stuck at the feet of the eldest daughter, and firmly pulled out the arrow from the feet of the eldest daughter.
"Aaaaaakhhh!!!!" The oldest daughter's screams of pain sounded quite loud.
The healer immediately gave the powder to stop the blood coming out of the eldest daughter's legs, and covered it with a cloth.
"Go and buy medicine as well as potions according to the one in this recipe, I really need those herbs now." The physician gave Xia Lian An a recipe.
"Xiao Wei you went to the drugstore that is in the middle of the market right now."
"Well miss."
Xiao Wei immediately went to buy the medicine in the recipe.
Meanwhile, the healer gave acupuncture to the oldest daughter's legs so that the pain was reduced.
"Tabib, are those arrows poisonous?" Xia Lian An asked.
"Fortunately it's not toxic. But I have to give him medicine to get his wound covered perfectly as soon as possible."
The eldest daughter felt so lucky because even though Xia Lian An was no longer her sister-in-law, but Xia Lian An still cared for her.
"Miss, please prepare the container. I'll make the potion right away after your waitress returns to buy the medicine." Said the physician.
"Good healer."
Xia Lian An came out of her room and walked towards the kitchen to pick up the container the healer needed.
As soon as he got the container he was looking for, Xia Lian An returned to his room and saw that Xiao Wei was already inside the room.
"This is the container you asked for, healer."
The healer received the container from Xia Lian An, and opened a pack of medicine that Xiao Wei had brought along. Then the healer concocted the potion into a powder that was not so soft.
The doctor put another medicine in the container and stirred it, and lastly he took a handful of the potion and added a little water.
After that, the healer directly placed the potion he made earlier on the thin cloth that covered the oldest daughter's wound, and covered it with a few more pieces of cloth and tied it up.
"Leave it for two days, after which you can just throw it away. And leave the wound open, to dry quickly. This medicine, you have to boil it for 30 minutes on medium heat, then give it to him to drink while it's warm."
"Well healer, thank you for the help of the healer." Xia Lian An said to the physician.
Xiao Wei then escorted the healer to the front of Xia Lian An's house.
"Lian'er, thank you for your help." The eldest daughter.
"Sister, I should've done that."
The eldest daughter nodded.
"Alright, I will ask Xiao Wei to boil the medicine. Brother rest first."
"Yes." Yeah."
The eldest daughter saw Xia Lian An come out of the room while carrying a few packs of medicine.
"Xuan Yi, you've really lost Lian'er completely."
The departure of Xia Lian An to the Ming country a few days ago was already heard by the eldest daughter, the, and he knew that emperor Shun would never again get the chance to mend his relationship with Xia Lian An.
Many people regret that. Not just the eldest daughter and the little king. Even Prince Xia felt that way.
But everything had already happened, and emperor Shun could only regret what he had done to Xia Lian An back then.
Now even Xia Lian An did not want to bring up the name of emperor Shun in front of the eldest daughter, even though they both knew that the current emperor Shun was injured.
***
In the royal palace, crown prince Zhang came and was currently sitting together with prince Xia inside the emperor Shun's room.
Prince Xia looked at the fragrance pouch that was on the waist of crown prince Zhang. It was the fragrance bag Xia Lian An had given her that yesterday emperor Shun told her about.
"You were so quick to come here crown prince Zhang, isn't the distance between Qin state and Ming state quite far?" Prince Xia.
Crown Prince Zhang smiled "You're right. But actually, I've been in Yu's city for a few days, after escorting Miss Xia back from Ming country."
Emperor Shun felt uneasy when he heard that crown prince Zhang had escorted Xia Lian An straight to Yu city.
"You have so much time, crown prince Zhang."
"I'll always have plenty of time if it's dealing with Miss Xia."
Crown Prince Zhang continued to say things that Emperor Shun did not want to hear, he wanted to make Emperor Shun aware that he did not have the opportunity to be with Xia Lian An again.
"Is the relationship between the two of you getting closer?" Emperor Shun said to crown prince Zhang.
Crown Prince Zhang nodded "We are in a relationship that will make me and Miss Xia know each other. Because miss Xia and I don't want any misunderstandings later."
Emperor Shun nodded in understanding.
"It turns out they've come that far. Qing Lian, really can't you give me another chance?"
Crown Prince Zhang saw the change on emperor Shun's face, and it made him feel if what he was doing was right.
Everything Emperor Shun had done to Xia Lian An would be a memory. And crown prince Zhang certainly didn't want those memories to make it possible for two people who wouldn't be together to get into a relationship again.
