Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 175

Yun Shang looked worried as she walked up to Hua Jing. She examined the wound and said, "Oh my! Sister, this is such a deep wound. Does it hurt?"

Hua Jing looked Yun Shang in the eyes, and saw that Yun Shang was deriving pleasure from her misery. So, she didn't say much, instead she retorted, "Hmm. No, it is just a small wound."

At Hua Jing's words, Yun Shang took the pink handkerchief from the madam and used it to put pressure on Hua Jing's wound. She said with concern, "Even if it is small, we should still not let it bleed. Father, I suggest that we stop the interrogation and call the imperial physician to bring some ointment for sister."

As she was talking, she turned to examine the handkerchief in her hand. As expected, the blood stain had become bigger. Yun Shang raised her eyebrows. She suspected the handkerchief was made of silk and must have good air permeability. It felt light when Yun Shang held it, but it had one problem, it was not so porous. As a member of the Royal family, Hua Jing would have ice served to her in her room on a hot day. There would also be someone holding an umbrella for her when she went out. So, whether her handkerchief was permeable or not wasn't important.

Hua Jing was surprised by Yun Shang's behavior. She figured out what Yun Shang was doing. Hua Jing quickly pulled back her hand, but it was too late. She looked at the handkerchief held by Yun Shang, and found her blood had spread through almost the entire handkerchief. "What happened? Why is there so much blood? Why is the handkerchief completely red? Call the imperial physician here at once." Yun Shang shouted quickly, before Hua Jing could explain anything.

When Prince Qingsu was found injured, the imperial physician had been called. He was thus, close by. Hearing Yun Shang's call, the imperial physician was able to get to them quickly.

"Your Majesty."

Emperor Ning nodded and said to the imperial physician, "You don't need to bow to me. Go check the Princess's wound, and let us know if it's serious."

The imperial physician agreed and walked to Hua Jing, "Your Highness. Would you mind letting me check the wound on your palm?"

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Hua Jing knew that she had to accept the physician's request. She put her hand out for the physician to examine. Hua Jing felt desperate for a countermeasure to the situation. She hated Yun Shang to her core.

The imperial physician took a quick look at Hua Jing's wound before he gave his diagnosis. "Her Highness's wound was caused by a sharp object. The wound is not big, but it is quite deep. It shouldn't cause a problem, but there will be some pain. I can prescribe an ointment for the Princess to apply on the wound."

Yun Shang opened the handkerchief to show the stain to the imperial physician. She inquired, "If the wound is not a big deal, then why did she bleed so much? The handkerchief is soaked through with her blood.."

Knowing Emperor Ning loved and valued Princess Hui Guo very much, the imperial physician took Yun Shang's question seriously. The physician examined the handkerchief in Yun Shang's hand carefully, and then smiled, "Your Highness, correct me if I'm wrong, but this handkerchief is made of silk. Silk handkerchiefs are thin and are easily dyed because of the special material. So even though the blood on the handkerchief makes the wound look bad, it is not that serious."

Yun Shang nodded. "I see," she said before stepping back. She forced an embarrassed smile and admitted, "I was wrong, it turns out the wound was nothing. Mister Xing, you can proceed with your interrogation."
