Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 610 - What About The Medicine?

Shuren was sitting on her bed while sipping on her tea, she ignored Wen Xu\'s overdramatic wailing and looked at Zhao Ming who asked the maid for white cotton cloth.

She has heard about Zhao Ming\'s medical wonders and knows that she has received this skill from her father. She also found out what happened to her father.

She felt bad hearing about her father because she can see Wen Xu\'s biased attitude towards her and it won\'t be a surprise to her if Wen Xu has falsely accused Zhao Ming\'s father in an attempt of poisoning her.

Even though Wen Xu is kinda stupid in her eyes but she is self-indulgent at the same time. Also, Xiao Li has a great level of influence on her and she uses Wen Xu\'s power as Empress Dowager for her gain. She was worried about what grave things they might have done to Zhao Minbg when Ji Cheng was not in the palace.

….

She was expecting to see some of Zhao Ming\'s medical skills, even though there is nothing to show off since Wen Xu\'s wound was not even serious enough to do anything.

However, she was quite interested in Zhao Ming\'s skills as a doctor. Because there are rarely any female doctors in the Ji Dynasty and it\'s quite surprising to hear that Zhao Ming\'s skills are much better than the imperial doctor.

Even Wen Xu wanted to call Zhao Ming and not the imperial doctor when she was in need.

However, Shuren\'s eyes widened when Zhao Ming pressed the cotton cloth tightly on Wen Xu\'s wound.

"AHHHHHHH"

Wen Xu cried out in pain but Zhao Ming didn\'t let go of her hand neither removed the cloth from her hand. [ Read this novel on W e b n o v e l . c o m ( remove spaces). If you are reading this elsewhere, then this novel is pirated. Support the original author, not thieves. Regards Kamlyn]

" Zhao Ming, you bitch. What are you doing? Are you trying to kill me? Leave my hand." Wen Xu lost her senses and shouted in anger seeing Zhao Ming had not removed the cloth from her wound and continued pressing over it.

Zhao Ming\'s lips curled up in a smirk as she put more pressure on Wen Xu\'s wound.

" Mother, how can you say something like this? I am trying to save you here and you\'re cursing me? Tsk. That\'s not fair." She shook her head and tightened her grip around her hand.

" Ahhh"

Shuren was amused to see the way Zhao Ming was treating Wen Xu. She thought that she would use some medicine or herbs to treat her wound but what exactly is she doing?

But she felt pleased seeing her tormenting Wen Xu like this.

…

" Leave my hand and put some medicine on it. Are you trying to kill me by pressing it so hard?"

Zhao Ming pursed her lips as she was enjoying this more than anything.

" I can\'t do that. " She rejected outrightly.

" What? You are saying that you don\'t want to treat my wound? Are you kidding me? I am the Empress Dowager, don\'t forget your place."

" Suspended Empress Dowager."

Wen Xu just spoke her words when Shuren corrected her words as she said while sitting on the bed.

" Wen Xu, mind your words. Right now you\'re not the Empress Dowager and was receiving your punishment. So don\'t you dare to raise your voice in front of the Empress of Ji Dynasty."

Wen Xu\'s face paled as she bit her lower lip to control her anger and to prevent herself from shouting in pain from Zhao Ming\'s pressure over her wound

Zhao Ming turned to Shuren and smiled gratefully. After Shuren came to the palace, she became bolder because of her encouragement. She is loving the way Wen Xu and Xiao Li are living on the edges.

After that, she turned to Wen Xu again and said, " Mother, I can\'t treat you using medicines because I am afraid that you might blame me for poisoning you as well. After all, our relationship has become worse than before."

" What if you send me to the confinement room just like you did to my father?" She said with an indifferent expression.

Wen Xu stopped crying and looked up at Zhao Ming. Her heart became heavy when she saw the cold look in her eyes.

Her eyes fluttered as she felt strange after hearing her words. She has not falsely accused her father. She never liked Zhao Bai nor Zhao Ming but she wasn\'t a fool to accuse someone as amazing as Zhao Bai for nothing and kill him.

There was a maid who witnessed how he poisoned the medicine for her and when a rat mistakenly drank that medicine, he died on the spot.

It created quite a havoc. It was nothing less than a rebel against the royal authority by poisoning the Empress Dowager. Since Ji Cheng was not there as well, she punished him to the containment room. She has no idea what happened to him, but in a few days, she heard that he died.

However, she felt a little uncomfortable when a question about Zhao Bai\'s death came up. Even though she believes that she did nothing wrong, a part of her heart does not believe that Zhao Bai tried to kill her. But what can she do? She just can\'t deny the evidence and had to send him to the confinement room.

….

Zhao Ming loosened her grip on Wen Xu\'s hand seeing her nervous expressions and looked at her with indifferent expressions, " It\'s done. It\'s not bleeding anymore."

Wen Xu frowned and looked at her hand which was covered with a white cloth. She looked up at her with a confused gaze, when Zhao Ming spoke, " The wound was not serious, so to stop the bleeding, it\'s better to put some pressure with a clean cotton cloth. See, now it\'s not bleed anymore. "

This was the basic first aid she knows since the medicines in this world are too different than the ones in her world.

Wen Xu pursed her lips and spoke," What about the medicine? Shouldn\'t you apply anything to prevent it from scarring?"

Zhao Ming didn\'t reply to Wen Xu and glanced at the maid standing near.

" I have some work to attend to, so get the medicine from the imperial doctor and apply it on mother\'s wound carefully." Saying this she turned to Wen Xu and said, " Mother, it will be fine. You don\'t need to worry about this. This tiny wound would not prevent you from working."

Zhao Ming knows that Wen Xu would use this opportunity to take time off from work assigned by Shuren.
