Chapter 313 Blisters
Su Qingqing smiled, turned around and took out a bottle of ointment from the low cabinet next to her, opened the lid and picked out a finger-sized amount of ointment.
Su Qingqing was pregnant, and Jixiang didn't dare to let the ointment smear on her body, so he hurriedly picked up a handkerchief and wiped off the ointment on Su Qingqing's fingers.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing!"
Jixiang held out a handkerchief and smeared all the ointment on it.
"Tell me what you want to do. Do you really need to do it yourself? Even if I get sick, I will treat it myself. As your personal maid, if I get seriously ill, you will be so distressed. You can still ask Liu Imperial Physician. Why do you have to treat it yourself?"
Su Qingqing smiled helplessly, "How can your illness be the same as mine?"
Jixiang said, "Why can't it be the same? I am the first palace maid who is spoiled and arrogant. What's wrong with me? I relied on the favor of the Queen Mother and asked the Imperial Physician Liu to treat my illness. What's wrong with that?
Don't you just want to make it impossible for Imperial Physician Liu to refuse? A slave will do, at most you will be known as someone who indulges evil slaves."
Su Qingqing rubbed her head.
"It's different. Right now, I don't know how many people want to get their daughters and sisters into the palace, waiting for a chance to impeach me. If someone really catches me with real evidence, they won't do anything to me or you, but they will impeach me at the morning court .
Continuously impeaching and using this as an excuse to make demands and threaten Your Majesty.
It's not as simple as you think. We are not afraid of making mistakes, but if we can avoid it, we don't have to rush into it, understand?"
Jixiang stared at Su Qingqing and pouted, "But you can't take the risk, there are children here."
Su Qingqing took the handkerchief from her hand lightly, "This ointment is not dangerous. If it were dangerous, Imperial Doctor Sun would not give it to me."
Jixiang was stunned. "Imperial Physician Sun?"
Su Qingqing said, "After the incident with the woman in the cold palace, Imperial Physician Sun went back and thought carefully about everything that happened before. He said that if he had to find one or two suspicious people, they would be Imperial Physician Liu and Imperial Physician Wula.
In fact, it was not a very suspicious behavior. When Imperial Physician Sun was preparing the medicine, Imperial Physician Liu and Imperial Physician Ula both came to see him. They went there for a pulse case. Because it was a serious reason, they only mentioned the pulse case and didn't say anything else, so he didn't think much of it.
Later, something happened. I thought about it over and over again and couldn't think of anything else, so I thought of them.
I said I wanted to test Imperial Physician Liu, so Imperial Physician Sun gave me this ointment. This ointment poses no threat to the fetus, but it will cause a red rash where it is applied.
Isn’t Imperial Doctor Liu good at dermatology?
There is no need to feel the pulse.”
Jixiang was skeptical, "Is it really not harmful to the fetus?
"No, just be honest. Can I risk my own child?"
Jixiang thought, that’s possible, you were afraid of war before and wanted to abort the child.
"Then I will apply some too. If Imperial Physician Liu insists on feeling my pulse before prescribing medicine, let her feel my pulse ."
Jixiang's eyes were firm. Su Qingqing looked at her for a moment and sighed, "Okay."
Jixiang smiled, immediately took the handkerchief back from Su Qingqing's hand, rolled up his sleeves and applied the ointment on his arm.
The cool ointment felt refreshing when applied to the skin, but the cool feeling quickly dissipated, replaced by a burning sensation in the skin, followed by a burning sensation, as if the skin was on fire.
"Damn! This is so hot, it's even more uncomfortable than putting chili pepper on your arm. Madam, are you sure this won't affect the fetus?"
Jixiang grabbed the bottle of ointment and refused to give it to Su Qingqing, staring at her arm. The place where she applied the ointment was already covered with densely packed small blisters.
These small blisters swell up, pull on the skin, and make people want to scratch it painfully.
Jixiang didn't dare to scratch the small bubble, so he could only scratch hard at the burning edge. However, it seemed that no matter how hard he scratched, it was not strong enough, and he always felt that he needed more strength.
Seeing that she was grabbing harder and harder, Su Qingqing pulled her hand and said, "Stop grabbing."
Jixiang felt itchy and uncomfortable, so he grabbed the teapot of herbal tea next to him with his other hand and poured it over the bubble.
The cool tea rinsed the bubbles, but the burning and unbearable itching did not diminish at all.
"My queen, listen to me. You can't use this. Even if the medicine is ineffective on the fetus, it's itchy..." She was so itchy that she wanted to rub her arm against her body, but Su Qingqing grabbed her and she couldn't move. She gritted her teeth and said, "Don't use it first. Let me try it first. If it doesn't work, then use it. Okay?"
Jixiang's pleading tone was so heartbreaking that Su Qingqing nodded.
She didn't want Jixiang to suffer from the itching and have to worry about her at the same time.
After the ointment had fully exerted its effect, Su Qingqing put it away, pretended to be panicked, and asked Xiao Rui to call the imperial physician.
Because of the previous mission, Xiao Rui was very tacit and directly invited Imperial Physician Liu to come over.
Maybe he walked too fast on the way here, Liu Imperial Physician had a layer of sweat on his forehead while carrying the medicine box, and the sweat flowed down along his temples. He stepped into Su Qingqing's bedroom, took a breath, and then hurriedly raised his hand to wipe the sweat with his sleeve.
Su Qingqing sat in the main seat, looking anxious, "Quick, let Jixiang take a look."
Before Imperial Physician Liu finished his greetings, Su Qingqing interrupted his etiquette. Imperial Physician Liu stood up and saw the Empress's personal maid Jixiang standing next to him. She was biting her lips and her face was pale. The sleeve of her left arm was rolled up high, revealing her fair arm with a large red spot on her forearm.
Imperial Physician Liu didn't think much and hurried forward.
"What happened? Was he scalded by boiling water or…"
Jixiang was itching so much that he said, "Please check if you have any medicine to relieve the itching and pain. I can't stand it anymore. It's not the boiling water that caused this. I don't know what happened and it came up all of a sudden."
Imperial Physician Liu carefully observed the blisters and redness on Jixiang's arm, "Miss, did you use something to cause this?"
In fact, the ointment that Imperial Physician Sun gave to Su Qingqing had no smell. After Jixiang applied it, the ointment had basically penetrated into her arm. Before Imperial Physician Liu came, she even rinsed it with soapberry liquid, so there was nothing left on her arm.
But Imperial Physician Liu still raised the question accurately.
Jixiang's heart skipped a beat, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Can you please see if there is any ointment to relieve the itch for me first? I am dying of itching if you ask me these questions."
Su Qingqing was also very anxious. "Yes, give her some relief first, and ask about other things later."
Imperial Physician Liu said respectfully to Su Qingqing, "Your Majesty, you may not know that Miss Jixiang's condition seems to be an allergy. You cannot prescribe medicine without asking what caused it."
