Chapter 494 Xuan Zheng Heals Wounds

Inside the already cleaned royal tent, Xuan Zheng was carefully applying medicine to a small wound on Prince Jing's left cheekbone.

Prince Jing glanced down at Xuan Zheng, whose expression was respectful and extremely serious, and said with satisfaction, "I will have someone handle your father's funeral arrangements. From today onwards, you will be my concubine. As long as you behave yourself, I will certainly not mistreat you."

“Yes, I…” Xuan Zheng’s hands trembled almost imperceptibly. She changed her self-reference and said in a soft voice, “This concubine will certainly serve Your Highness well.”

After she finished speaking, Xuan Zheng's cheeks flushed red.

Xuan Zheng was already pretty, and now her downcast eyes and gentle, shy demeanor made Prince Jing even more satisfied with her.

Even if I'm satisfied, now is not the time to favor Xuan Zheng.

Prince Jing shifted his gaze from Xuan Zheng's face to Shan Qing, who was waiting to the side: "I don't care what methods you use, pry open the mouths of those assassins. I want to know who is so audacious!"

The more Prince Jing spoke, the more gloomy his expression became.

Tonight was truly too dangerous. If the assassins hadn't given up and if Marquis Zhaoping and his men hadn't risked their lives to protect him, he might have really died here tonight.

"Yes! I have already given the order, and those assassins are being interrogated."

Upon hearing Shan Qing's answer, Prince Jing's expression softened slightly: "How is Marquis Zhaoping's condition?"

"Marquis Zhaoping has gone to rest in his previous tent." Shan Qing glanced at Prince Jing carefully and said, "I thought Marquis Zhaoping's injuries were too serious, so I only sent someone to guard him outside the tent, instead of binding him up as before."

"Your Highness, the wound has been treated." Xuan Zheng smiled as she looked at the medicinal powder on Prince Jing's face.

Prince Jing carefully examined the wound on his left cheekbone and confirmed that it did not hurt at all.

"Zheng'er, you'll have to work hard these next few days. The wound on my face must be fully healed before we return to the capital. Once we get back to the palace, I'll reward you handsomely."

As he spoke, Prince Jing took Xuan Zheng's hand.

Xuan Zheng lowered her head slightly, her hand, which was being held by Prince Jing, curled up slightly, and her voice was soft and delicate: "Your Highness, rest assured, the formula for this medicine powder is the result of my father's research over many years, and the powder was also ground by my father himself. It has a miraculous effect on external injuries. I will change your dressing regularly every day, and Your Highness's face will be completely healed before we return to the capital."

Xuan Zheng raised her eyes and quickly glanced at Prince Jing. Meeting his gaze, which was filled with satisfaction and appreciation, her cheeks flushed again, and she quickly lowered her head.

Xuan Zheng's shy, girlish demeanor successfully pleased Prince Jing.

"Hahaha! Good!" Prince Jing rubbed Xuan Zheng's hands a couple of times and continued, "I'll have to trouble my Zheng'er to go and see Marquis Zhaoping. Marquis Zhaoping has done a good job protecting me, and I want her to live."

Xuan Zheng nodded, looked up at Prince Jing, her eyes filled with undisguised shyness and affection: "Your Highness, rest assured, Zheng'er understands."

Xuan Zheng carried the medicine box to Cheng Wan's tent, and after Xuan Zheng left, Prince Jing and Shan Qing also left the royal tent.

They were going to see the assassin on trial.

Xuan Zheng carried the medicine box to Cheng Wan's bedside.

Jin Jin had already informed Cheng Wan, so Cheng Wan opened her tired eyes at the opportune moment.

"Thank you for your trouble, Miss Xuan."

Xuan Zheng, expressionless, tore open Cheng Wan's tattered clothes, her voice as cold as ice: "Just following orders."

OK.

Cheng Wan closed her eyes and began to "enjoy" being treated.

Cheng Wan was not worried that Xuan Zheng would secretly sabotage her.

She had no grudge against Xuan Zheng.
