Chapter 145 Too outrageous
Is Mei Chengan’s so-called special ointment really that magical?
In terms of efficacy, although it is certainly better than what doctors on the market recommend, it is not magical.
The magic of this ointment lies in the fact that Mei Cheng'an took a different approach and added several Chinese medicinal herbs, including Chuanxiong, Angelica dahurica, Asarum, and Toad Venom. The first three have antipruritic and analgesic effects, while the last one gives the ointment a cooling effect.
Applying this ointment will greatly reduce the patient's pain and even make them feel very comfortable, allowing them to eat less and sleep less, move less and touch more frequently due to pain. Combined with the stronger efficacy of the medicine, the patient can recover extremely quickly.
This ointment was developed by Mei Cheng'an when he was practicing with the maids to treat external injuries. Later, as they practiced less, the ointment was put aside. Now it finally finds its use again.
Mei Cheng'an removed all the gauze on Guo Baokun's body, carefully scraped off all the previous ointment, wiped it clean, and applied the ointment he brought with him.
The specific effect can be seen from Guo Baokun's reaction, his eyes narrowed in comfort.
Seeing this, Guo Youzhi, who was watching from the side, was completely relieved.
Mei Cheng'an helped Guo Baokun apply the medicine again, bandaged him again, and then stood up.
Guo Baokun was already sleeping peacefully at this time.
"Thank you for your hard work, Cheng'an." Guo Youzhi said.
Mei Chengan smiled.
"To be honest with you, uncle, since I learned medicine, I have had very few opportunities to see patients, so I don't find it hard at all. On the contrary, I enjoy it."
Guo Youzhi patted his shoulder and said no more.
Mei Cheng'an washed his hands in the basin brought by the maid. After wiping them clean, he took out a small jar of ointment from his sleeve and handed them to Guo Youzhi together with the unused jar.
"Uncle, for the next few days, change the ointment every morning and evening. This should be enough for two or three days. I will mix some more when I get back and send it to you when I'm done."
Guo Youzhi took it and was deeply moved. He was about to express his gratitude.
Mei Chengan spoke first.
"Hey, uncle, please stop thanking me. You are my elder and Mr. Guo is my friend. It is my duty to do this. It would be too polite to be more polite."
Guo Youzhi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded.
"Then I'll listen to you. I won't be polite with you. Let Kun'er thank you in person after he recovers."
Mei Chengan grinned.
"That's fine."
Guo Youzhi said with a smile.
"Come on, come on, have a cup of tea with me."
Mei Cheng'an followed suit and said with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll try Uncle's good tea."
The two of them went to a pavilion outside the courtyard. After they sat down, a maid brought them tea.
Guo Youzhi poured a cup of tea and handed it to Mei Chengan, saying.
"Try it and guess what kind of tea this is."
Mei Cheng'an became interested after hearing this. He took it with both hands, held the cup and looked at the tea soup. He saw that the tea soup was golden, rich, clear and translucent.
There was a hint of novelty in Mei Cheng'an's eyes. He had never seen tea of this color before, because the Mei family usually drank green tea.
I picked up the teacup and put it close to my nose, then fanned my nose with my hand. The fragrance was fresh and elegant, with a light floral scent.
Putting the teacup to his lips and taking a sip, Mei Cheng'an felt that it was slightly bitter at first, but with a distinct sweet aftertaste that made his mouth water.
Mei Chengan's eyes lit up.
"This tea is good, uncle. I don't drink many kinds of tea. I smell the fragrance of flowers in this tea. Is it flower tea?"
Guo Youzhi laughed out loud.
"Close, but I guessed wrong! This is oolong tea. The tea soup of flower tea in certain seasons may indeed be yellowish, but it is much lighter than oolong tea."
Mei Chengan suddenly realized.
"Been taught a lesson!"
Guo Youzhi also took a sip of tea with a smile.
"This is the special tea from my hometown. If you like it, I'll give it to you when you leave."
Mei Chengan chuckled.
"It's really good. Then I won't be polite to you, uncle."
Guo You's way.
"now it's right."
Mei Cheng'an took another sip and put down the teacup.
"Oh, uncle, I noticed that Young Master Guo's throat is swollen. You must not let him talk in the next few days, otherwise his throat will be damaged. I have already reminded him, but I am still a little worried, so I told you too. Please supervise. If Young Master Guo really has something to say, then let him write it down. It's okay to use his hands."
When talking about his son, Guo Youzhi listened very carefully and nodded cautiously.
"I understand. I will keep this in mind."
Mei Chengan nodded.
"There's something else I want to tell you, but I'm sorry."
Guo Youzhi said angrily.
"Tell me what you are doing."
Mei Chengan smiled embarrassedly.
"My father is also involved in this case..."
Guo Youzhi interrupted directly.
"Cheng'an, you don't need to say more. I understand everything. This result has nothing to do with Lord Mei. I have heard about the trial process. If anyone is to blame, it can only be blamed on our lack of preparation. Alas, now that the case has come to a clear end, I am afraid it can only be left unresolved."
Mei Chengan didn't know what to say about this. From his perspective, it was indeed quite awkward to be caught in the middle. After thinking about it, Mei Chengan said.
"Uncle, actually if you think about it carefully, it may not be a bad thing for Young Master Guo to have gone through this misfortune." Guo Youzhi was stunned for a moment and asked.
"What does Cheng'an mean by this?"
Mei Cheng'an said.
"I'm sure you all know what happened in the hall. The Crown Prince and Fan Xian were at loggerheads, and His Majesty's intention to protect Fan Xian was obvious. Under such circumstances, you know Young Master Guo's character best. If he gets involved, he will only be used as a pretext. It would be better for him to take advantage of this disaster to get out of the whirlpool, stay quiet, and wait and see what happens. What do you think?"
Guo Youzhi's eyes showed thoughtfulness. In fact, being in the vortex was nothing for those who wanted to participate in the party struggle. How could they gain the opportunity to advance themselves and the greatest political benefits without participating in it?
It’s just that my son’s brain... is hard to describe. He doesn’t know how to protect himself at all. It may sound harsh, but it’s the truth. He is indeed not suitable for participating in this adventure.
In this light, it would be a good thing if his son could get away with this disaster. If he can't even guarantee his own safety, how can he talk about whether he can gain anything?
Thinking of this, Guo Youzhi's accumulated depression due to his son being beaten and the loss of the case was swept away, and his mood instantly improved.
Guo Youzhi looked at Mei Chengan with appreciation and said.
"You young people are the ones who think quickly!"
Mei Chengan smiled.
"Actually, my words are superfluous. Uncle, I am just worried about Mr. Guo and I don't have time to think about it. You will be able to figure it out once you have time. Uncle, please don't laugh at me for showing off my skills before an expert."
Guo Youzhi burst into laughter when he heard this.
"Hahaha, that's not the case. Have some tea."
After drinking another cup of tea, Mei Cheng'an stood up and said goodbye. Guo Youzhi ordered his servants to pack the tea for him and then personally saw him out.
After leaving Guo's Mansion, Mei Cheng'an first went back home, gave the tea he brought back to Hongshu, then changed into official uniform with the help of Hongshu, and left Mei's Mansion again and went straight to the Honglu Temple.
After watching the excitement in Kyoto Prefecture, he went to Guo's Mansion. When Mei Cheng'an arrived at Honglu Temple, it was already the time of Si.
As soon as Mei Cheng'an stepped into the back hall, Xin Qiwu stood up and said with a look of surprise.
"Cheng'an, you are finally here. Tell me what is going on in Kyoto Prefecture."
"..."
Without waiting for Mei Cheng'an to speak, Wang Sicheng on the left side of the second floor stood up and looked down. He saw Mei Cheng'an's eyes light up, then he quickly went downstairs and continued with Xin Qiwu's words.
"Yes, yes, yes, Lady Xiaomei, please tell me quickly. I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince Jing Wang were all present. Even the eunuchs from the palace were there. What exactly happened in the hall?"
"..."
Mei Cheng'an glanced at Xin Qiwu and Wang Sicheng who looked curious, and asked with a smile.
"Want to know?"
They both nodded.
Mei Chengan looked at the two of them and put on a stand.
"Just let me stand and talk?"
Xin Qiwu's eyes turned when he heard this, and he looked at Wang Sicheng and slapped his forehead.
"Yes, yes, it's not appropriate to say this while standing. Look, I forgot about this. Come on, come on."
As he said that, he grabbed Mei Chengan's arm, pulled him to his seat, and pressed his shoulders.
"Sit, sit, sit!"
Mei Cheng'an didn't hesitate and sat down. Xin Qiwu stood behind him and massaged his shoulders.
"This strength is OK, Cheng An."
Mei Chengan hummed.
"Harder!"
"okay."
Xin Qiwu immediately increased his strength.
Wang Sicheng was not idle either. He quickly poured him a cup of tea and placed it in front of him.
"Master Xiaomei, please drink some tea to moisten your throat first."
Mei Cheng'an looked at Wang Sicheng with appreciation, reached out to take it, took a sip, and handed it back. Wang Sicheng took it with both hands and gently placed it on the table.
Xin Qiwu kept moving and tilted his head to look at Mei Chengan's profile.
"Tell us about it now."
Mei Cheng'an curled the corners of his mouth, coughed twice in a pretentious manner, pretending to clear his throat, and then slowly recounted what happened in the Kyoto Palace today.
"Today in the classroom, this is what happened..."
……
Royal Villa.
Bedroom on the second floor.
Lin Wan'er was sitting upright in the room, drinking tea and chatting with Li Roujia who was sitting opposite her.
Li Roujia arrived early in the morning. He had two purposes for coming to see Lin Wan'er today. One was to gossip about what happened after Lin Wan'er and Fan Xian left Prince Jing's Mansion yesterday, and the other was to teach her the Tai Chi that he had taught her yesterday.
Li Roujia almost spit out the tea in her mouth. After swallowing it, she quickly put down the teacup and asked Lin Wan'er while trying not to smile.
"No way, cousin, you just chased Fan Xian away like that?"
Lin Wan'er was helpless.
"What can I do? I can't persuade Ye Ling'er to stop, so I can only persuade him to leave first."
Li Roujia couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.
"Hahahahaha, this is too outrageous. Ye Ling'er really chased Fan Xian for half a day like this. What kind of hatred or grudge is this?"
……
