Chapter 542 Finally here
After another day of rest, the wound on Zhou Chang's neck was completely scabbed and healed.
With Mei Sheng's gentle movements, the gauze was finally removed and there was no need to apply medicine anymore.
Zhou Chang felt that he was feeling much better, so he told Mei Sheng, "Since you have finished taking the medicine yesterday, there is no need to get more."
Mei Sheng was still worried: "Young Master, you should drink another dose of medicine to consolidate your strength. After all, falling into the water is not a trivial matter, so you should be more careful."
Zhou Chang asked Mei Sheng to fetch his coat and put it on. "I am almost well now. Don't worry too much. I want to go out and find out what the situation is like outside."
Mei Sheng was about to speak out to stop it.
Zhou Chang took the lead and said, "You've been bored these days, you should go out for a walk, otherwise you'll get sick from being bored."
"But..." Mei Sheng had just said two words when suddenly there was a noisy sound of people falling to the ground and horses neighing outside the inn.
The two of them immediately looked at each other, then stopped what they were doing and listened carefully.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of "thump thump thump..." more than a dozen footsteps in riding boots rushed towards this side.
Before Zhou Chang could confirm whether it was directed at their room, rapid knocks on the door were heard.
"Prince, Prince..." The skinny monkey's voice shouted as the door knocked.
Zhou Chang was surprised: "Monkey, it's a monkey."
Mei Sheng hesitated for a moment, but still went over and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, the skinny monkey rushed in first. He hugged Zhou Chang without saying anything and cried with joy: "Prince, you are really here, really here, woo woo..."
Behind him, Gao Yuan followed in, and then Yuan Qi, Liu E, Yuan Liang, etc.
Gao Yuan's expressionless face could no longer hold back, his eyes flushed and his cheek muscles trembled with excitement: "Your Highness, I thought you would never find you again... You are so lucky..."
"I'm fine. By the way, why did you find me so late..." Zhou Chang was hugged tightly by the skinny monkey, and with so many people squeezed into the small room, he could hardly breathe.
Everyone was now staring at Zhou Chang excitedly, and for a moment no one could give a complete answer.
Zhou Chang was also very excited, but he felt embarrassed to be stared at, so he patted the skinny guy on the back and let him go: "I'm fine, I'm fine, everyone is fine too, right?"
"I thought the prince had fallen into the river and couldn't come back." The skinny monkey stepped back and wiped away his tears: "The prince asked us to look for him. We searched everywhere along both sides of the river and only then did we know that the prince was here."
Zhou Chang was puzzled and looked at everyone.
Mei Sheng had already hidden in the corner behind everyone and avoided looking at them.
Although Yuan Qi was not allowed to step forward, his bright eyes were staring at him deeply: "Your Highness, the wound on your neck looks better. Is it serious?"
"Alright." Zhou Chang smiled heartlessly, "You are okay too, how is Master Yuan?"
Yuan Qi had not been seen for a few days and had lost weight. He did not answer but turned around and said, "Let Doctor Ning come in."
"Yes, yes, we should let the doctor check on the prince first." The skinny monkey then remembered and helped Zhou Chang back to sit down on the bed.
A moment later, an old doctor with white hair and beard came in from outside, hunched over and carrying a medicine box. Just as he was about to greet him, Yuan Qi took the lead and stopped him: "There is no need to be polite in this situation. Doctor Ning, just check the pulse of His Royal Highness Prince Yi first."
Zhou Chang didn't think there was anything interesting at first, but since everyone in the room was showing the same concern, it was difficult for him to refuse.
Doctor Ning didn't say much. He took Zhou Chang's pulse and carefully examined him.
Then they came to the conclusion that Zhou Chang was indeed not seriously injured. He had just choked on water, was frightened and caught a cold. His wound had been soaked in water and he had lost too much blood. He just needed to rest for a few days and he would recover.
Yuan Qi seemed to be in a state of fatigue and anxious, and asked immediately: "Then Doctor Ning, given His Highness's current physical condition, it shouldn't be a problem for him to travel quickly, right?"
"No problem." Doctor Ning answered affirmatively.
Yuan Qi's tense face finally relaxed, and he turned to ask Zhou Chang: "So when we return to Beiji, where do you plan to stay? Inns are not suitable for recuperation. The Yuan family has a house in Beiji that is relatively clean and tidy. If you want to be quiet, there are also places outside the city that are of course quieter. Of course, everything is up to the prince."
Zhou Chang had previously lived directly at the Beiji Inn. After all, he had to pay for food, drink, and the bathroom when he was with dozens of people from the Jincao Division.
But after Yuan Qi asked this, Zhou Chang was at a loss.
If she were alone, she would of course want to choose the Yuan family's mansion, which would definitely be comfortable to live in.
But now she is Prince Yi, with so many people following her, and her relationship with Yuan Qi is complicated, so she can't help but think too much.
He was hesitant for a moment, and the thin monkey said beside him: "Oh, my Lord, the Northern Governor Yang is still outside. He also came here to greet you, my Lord."
"Sir Yang, I'm afraid he has had a hard time these days?" On the day Zhou Chang moved into the Beiji Posthouse, the prefect Yang Yi did show up, but Zhou Chang didn't care about him at the time and sent him away with a few words.
As for now, the ninth prince of Dalin, His Royal Highness Prince Yi, suddenly fell into the Jinmin River and disappeared in Beiji. If something really happened, Yang Yi, as the governor of Beiji, would certainly not be able to escape the responsibility.
I guess the prefect must have had a hard time these days.
Thinking of this, Zhou Chang stood up and said, "There is no need for Lord Yang to come in. We should go back now. It is better to go back to the posthouse so that Lord Yang will not worry."
As he spoke, he caught a glimpse of Mei Sheng in the corner behind the crowd and told the skinny monkey, "By the way, take Mei Sheng with you. He saved my life."
Mei Sheng had been hiding aside to reduce his presence, but when he heard that Zhou Chang was still thinking about him, his eyes suddenly widened and he smiled with joy.
Yuan Qi had already turned around and followed him out, but Liu E beside him asked, "Oh, this person is actually the lifesaver of His Royal Highness Prince Yi?"
"Yes..." Zhou Chang was also afraid of being ignored by Mei Sheng, so he walked over and took Mei Sheng's hand, "This is Master Lin Qilin. We are old acquaintances in Jindu. It was he who happened to rescue me from the river a few days ago, and he also invited doctors to ask for medicine and took good care of me. Otherwise, I would not have recovered so quickly."
Yuan Qi then noticed Mei Sheng, looked at him for a few seconds, and then nodded and saluted: "Your Highness Prince Yi sacrificed his life to save my father, and this Master Lin saved Your Highness, so he can also be regarded as a benefactor of my Yuan family."
Mei Sheng was at a loss, not daring to accept the gift, and dodged sideways: "No, no, sir, no, it's your highness who is too polite."
Yuan Qi was generous and polite: "Mr. Lin, do you look like a foreigner? Beiji can be regarded as the second hometown of the Yuan family. We should do our part as hosts. Moreover, Mr. Lin is the benefactor of His Royal Highness Prince Yi, so if you need anything in Beiji, just let us know."
