Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 178: Giving You a Happy End

"What? You can't bear to part with me?" Yun Yi raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Mmm." Er Ya, unusually, was not prickly at all, and nodded very seriously. "I can't bear to part with you, my dear."

Yunyi raised her hand and rubbed Er Ya's head: "Don't worry, even if I leave... I reckon I'll be in my seventies or eighties by then, right?" This world is probably the place where she will spend her retirement, so she probably won't be able to leave.

Er Ya was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: "Don't worry, I will take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die."

Yunyi: ...

"Thank you, but I don't think I'll need it. We're only six years apart. By the time I'm seventy or eighty, you'll probably be old and toothless, and you might not even live as long as I have."

After making Er Ya leave in anger, she had a wonderful sleep.

The capital city, the residence of the eldest princess.

The chief physicians and judges of the Imperial Medical Academy were all invited, and the most skilled doctors from Huichuntang and Renxintang were also invited.

The purpose was to inspect the box of scar removal cream that the guard had brought back.

"Your Highness," said You Song, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, who was the first to speak, "Could you tell me where this scar-removing cream came from?"

"Where it came from is another matter for now. Tell me, is this scar removal cream usable?" Princess Qiaochu asked with a serious expression.

"Your Majesty, I dare not lie. This scar removal cream is truly wonderful. I dare say there is nothing better than it."

"Really?" Princess Qiaochu's eyes lit up. "You...you can't be mistaken?"

"Although I cannot produce it, I can confirm that it is possible," You Song replied confidently.

Princess Qiaochu inquired with others, and they all gave similar answers. Even the doctor from Huichuntang offered an idea: "I once heard my master mention some ancient formulas, including a scar-removing cream. If I'm not mistaken, this should be made using an ancient formula, because our scar-removing creams usually contain camphor and the like, but this one contains five poison powder..."

"The Five Poisons?" Princess Qiaochu exclaimed in surprise.

"That's the power of ancient remedies; they can use poison to fight poison, eliminating even the deepest scars."

The others nodded in agreement.

"Thank you all very much." Princess Qiaochu nodded, then arranged for someone to deliver generous consultation fees to everyone before taking the scar removal cream to Wushuang Hospital.

Ning Wushuang was sitting by the window in a daze. Ever since her face was disfigured, she had stopped going out.

"Miss," Ru Hua called softly, "the Princess has arrived."

Ning Wushuang snapped out of her daze, stood up, and went to the door to greet her: "Mother, what brings you here?"

"It's getting cold, why are you dressed so lightly?" Princess Qiaochu quickly took her daughter's hand as soon as she saw her. "Don't neglect your health."

"Mom, I'm not cold."

"Wushuang," the princess said, no longer dwelling on the matter, and pulled her daughter into the house. "I said I would heal your face, and now, I've found the medicine."

“This…” Ning Wushuang looked at the box of ointment and frowned slightly. “Will it really work?” She had already tried many kinds of scar removal creams before. Although they had faded the scars on her face a lot, they were too deep and could not repair the marks on her face at all.

"Give it a try. It's said to be made with an ancient recipe, and everyone says it's good."

Ning Wushuang nodded: "Okay." Since things have already come to this, let's give it a try.

Soon, Ru Hua Siqin came over and helped her cleanse her face. She then applied the ointment evenly to the scars and wrapped her face with soft gauze.

"Each time you need to wrap it up for four hours. It's best to take a nap. If you feel itchy, that's a good thing. Just resist the urge to scratch." The princess took a deep breath. "Wushuang, it will get better."

To avoid upsetting her mother, Ning Wushuang smiled and nodded, "Yes, I believe you, Mother."

After watching her daughter lie down, the eldest princess gave some instructions to Ruhua and Siqin before leaving Wushuang Courtyard.

At the door, I met my son, Ning Xingchen.

"Mother, how is my sister?"

"The medicine has been applied, but we won't know the effect until tomorrow," the princess sighed. "However, there is still hope."

"Yes." Ning Xingchen nodded, but his expression was very serious. "I will make the Han family pay the price."

“Xingchen.” The princess grabbed her son’s arm. “You are the heir of the Marquis’s mansion, my son. Don’t be impulsive. I will avenge Wushuang. Don’t dirty your hands.”

“Mother, after what happened to my sister, don’t you understand yet? Uncle the Emperor…” Ning Xingchen took a deep breath, “All these years, Father has endured it all. Although he relinquished his military power, he polished his silver spear day and night. I’ve also endured it, not daring to take the imperial examinations openly, unable to properly practice martial arts. Now, my sister has suffered such a great injustice, yet we still have to endure it. Mother, he is heartless…”

"Alright," the eldest princess interrupted her son, "I know you and your father are both frustrated, but the crown prince has been deposed, and the situation is unclear, so..."

"Mother, don't worry, I understand." Ning Xingchen sneered. "But, do you think it's a problem for a spoiled brat like me to get into a fight?"

The eldest princess paused for a moment, then said, "It's good that you know what you're doing." She straightened her son's collar as she spoke, "And if anything really happens, I'll take care of it for you."

"Mm." Ning Xingchen nodded.

The next morning, when Ning Wushuang removed the gauze from her face, she found that the ointment had been completely absorbed by her skin. She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but the scars seemed to have faded a lot, and even the previously uneven areas seemed to have become much smoother.

Although she really felt itchy, she resisted the urge to scratch and instead washed her face with water.

“Miss, the scar seems to have faded.” Ru Hua frowned slightly. “Si Qin, come and take a look, am I seeing things?”

"No, it's really faded." Siqin smiled. "Miss, this ointment really works. It's only been used once, and it really will get better."

Ning Wushuang smiled, her long-standing frustration dissipating considerably: "Let's go have breakfast with Father, Mother, and Brother."

The princess was also very happy, but remembering what the guard had said, that if the scar was too severe, two or three boxes would be needed, she directly had two thousand taels of silver prepared and handed them to the guard, along with a jade token from the princess's residence: "Send this to that divine physician. Even if you ask for two more boxes of ointment, as long as Wushuang is cured, she will be the benefactor of the princess's residence from now on. With this jade token, you can ask me for one thing."

The guard hurriedly took it and turned to leave.

"Mother, where did this miracle doctor come from?" Ning Xingchen frowned slightly.

"It happened in Longxi..." The eldest princess then recounted the story of Shen Da and Shen Er, "It's obviously a blessing from heaven."

(I'm very grateful for your support, but if you don't like it, you can just close the window and leave. Why give it a bad review? Is it so hard to give it five stars? Writing a book is hard work, thank you!)
