Chapter 130 Medicinal Bath
Hearing a noise coming from outside, Shen Yiyi was curious and was about to go out to see what was going on, but was stopped by Jiang Zuo.
"Miss, please stop, in case there is any danger. Let me go and take a look." Jiang Zuo glanced at his master and rushed out quickly.
“……………………”Shang Zhanchen gritted his teeth.
He stared outside the cave with dissatisfaction, he was really in a tight spot.
Shen Yiyi also wanted to go over and take a look, but when she remembered what Xiao Jiang said, she sat down and waited.
Soon, Jiang Zuo came back.
"What's going on outside?" Shen Yiyi hurried over.
It sounded like there were a lot of noises outside, as if a lot of people were fighting. This place was so secluded, there shouldn't be outsiders here except for them.
"Oh, nothing. Two groups of monkeys were fighting. But I chased them away." Jiang Zuo said, pointing outside.
These guys are lucky today. If the master hadn't taken a medicinal bath right now, he would have skinned them.
As a secret guard, it is a big taboo not to hide your whereabouts well.
"Monkey?" Shen Yiyi frowned. No wonder there was such a big commotion.
He stuck his head out to look outside again, then rushed out without saying a word.
"I'll go take a look!" Hearing the loud noise just now, it felt like it must be quite tragic.
Jiang Zuo wanted to call out to the Crown Princess, but everyone had already run out. He had no choice but to follow them out.
As soon as she walked out of the cave, Shen Yiyi was shocked by the scene in the forest.
"……………………"
Emma! That's a pretty fierce fight.
In the forest ahead, most of the trees, as thick as her calves, were broken, and there were broken wood everywhere.
"Was this really caused by Hou Qun's fight?" She looked at Jiang Zuo and pointed at the broken trees.
Although monkeys can be quite ferocious when fighting, that is only between them.
I have never heard of a tree being broken, let alone so many of them, and they are so thick. It seems a bit strange.
"Well, I was the one who drove Hou Qun away. I can't be wrong about that." Jiang Zuo said with certainty.
He glared fiercely at the secret guards hiding in the big tree, and after taking a pill, he didn't know how to show off anymore.
"Oh." Shen Yiyi nodded doubtfully.
Although he still didn't quite believe it, there were no outsiders here, and Xiao Jiang also said that he saw it with his own eyes.
There was nothing more to ask, so he turned and went into the cave. Not long after he returned, Han Chun came back with a bag of old mountain ginseng and ganoderma lucidum.
"So many!" Shen Yiyi looked excited.
He immediately snatched the herbs from Han Chun's hand, and without waiting for Han Chun to speak, he carried them directly to the small room inside.
Seeing that the Crown Princess was refining medicine again, Jiang Zuo and Han Chun did not disturb her anymore.
She stayed quietly beside Shang Zhanchen and changed the medicine every two hours according to Shen Yiyi's instructions.
I thought my master would just soak in the water quietly like this, but by the evening, he started to show symptoms.
Shang Zhanchen, who was originally relatively quiet, had an increasingly painful expression on his face, until his entire body was shaking and he groaned in pain from time to time.
"Master, are you okay?" Jiang Zuo looked nervous.
Just as he was about to run over to find the Crown Princess, Shen Yiyi came back triumphantly.
"Miss, please take a look, Xiaoguai seems to be feeling very uncomfortable."
"Hmm?" Shen Yiyi frowned.
He moved closer, took a closer look at Shang Zhanchen's extremely restrained face, and then curled the corners of his mouth indifferently.
"Oh, it's okay. This is a normal phenomenon. It means his body is recovering."
After hearing what the Crown Princess said, Jiang Zuo and Han Chun finally felt relieved.
"Miss, Xiaoguai looks very uncomfortable. How long will this situation last?" Jiang Zuo said as he looked at his master.
The master has always been strong, and he can't control the sound he makes. I think it must be very painful now.
"He is now undergoing a marrow cleansing and reshaping of his muscles and bones. This is just the beginning. The pain will get worse day by day."
Shen Yiyi glanced at Shang Zhanchen. This guy had been carrying a deadly poison in his body since he was a child, and it had already invaded his bone marrow.
If he wants his body to recover completely, he needs to have his marrow cleansed and his muscles and bones completely reshaped.
The pain suffered during this period is no less than when the poison takes effect, so this guy will have to go through some painful torment.
Logically he should be in a lot of pain right now, but he's quite strong to be able to endure it.
"Ah? Miss Shen, don't you have any painkillers?" Han Chun looked worried.
According to what the Crown Princess said, wouldn't the Master be in more and more pain every day?
With the Crown Princess's abilities, I think she should be able to find a pill that can reduce the pain.
"Yes, Miss, you are so powerful, you should have pills that can relieve pain." Jiang Zuo's brows were also tightly furrowed.
I thought my master would recover after taking a medicinal bath, but I didn't expect he would have to go through such pain.
"Yes, but he can't eat it. It will affect the effect of his marrow cleansing. If he wants his body to recover completely, he has to endure it no matter how painful it is."
Shen Yiyi said this seriously, it wasn't that she was reluctant to give Xiaoguai the medicine.
The main thing is that once the medicine is used, it will affect the effect of Xiaoguai's marrow cleansing. Not only will the medicine be wasted, but Xiaoguai's body may not be able to recover.
Jiang Zuo wanted to say something else when he heard Shang Zhanchen's forbearing voice.
"I can hold on." Shang Zhanchen closed his eyes.
The hands soaked in the medicine were clenched into fists. He had endured all the torture over the years, so what could he not endure in the next few days?
"Good job." Shen Yiyi curled the corners of her mouth at Shang Zhanchen.
He quickly poured out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth.
"This is the elixir made from old mountain ginseng and ganoderma lucidum. The effect should be better than what I took before."
After saying that, he handed the small porcelain bottle in his hand to Jiang Zuo.
"Remember this, give him a pill every hour. If it's gone, come ask me for it. And don't forget what I told you to do."
Having said that, he ran to make medicine. At the moment, he had no shortage of medicinal materials, so he had to make as many as possible during this period of time.
In the next few days, everyone had a clear division of labor.
Apart from eating, Shen Yiyi spent her days making elixirs, while Shang Zhanchen continued to take herbal baths.
Jiang Zuo and Han Chun are responsible for taking care of Shang Zhanchen. In their spare time, they help Shen Yiyi grind the medicine powder.
Just as she said, all the prey was dried into jerky, but most of it was done by the secret guards outside.
As time went by, Shang Zhanchen's pain became more and more obvious, and he began to suppress it with a muffled groan.
Later, he started to growl in a suppressed manner, and then to roar continuously. I have never seen the master look so painful.
Jiang Zuo and Han Chun frowned together, but no matter how anxious they were, they could not help and could only watch quietly at the side.
Fortunately, the pain did not last too long. Around the tenth day, Shang Zhanchen's pain began to ease.
Two days later, the pain completely disappeared. Seeing his master looking refreshed, Jiang Zuo excitedly ran to find Shen Yiyi.
"Miss, is Xiaoguai okay?"
