Supporting the woman to sit on the soft couch, Chu Qitong glanced around and saw that Chu Mingze didn't follow. She said to Li Luo, "Bring the medicine box to me, then go out and tell Ze to rest early."

Upon hearing Chu Qitong's words, Lilo hurriedly went to the inner room and rummaged for a while, before finally finding the medicine box that Chu Qitong had obtained from the hospital when she was fifteen years old.

Sometimes, Liruo always felt that Chu Qitong's low-key demeanor was not at all like that of a master, but rather like some other master who had minor bumps and bruises would always hurry to the medical hospital to find a doctor. However, as for Chu Qitong, when she was fifteen years old, she ran to the medical hospital to learn the simple skill of bandaging on her own. From then on, she would always take care of her own minor injuries in the bedroom.

Compared to other princes, Chu Qitong always endures more hardships. Whenever she feels wronged, she keeps it to herself and swallows it in silence. It's evident that the Emperor treats her extremely well, yet she has never once complained to him about her suffering.

She would embroider shoes and socks for the Emperor. After the Emperor fell ill, she would care for him, undressing and attending to him, feeding him medicine and food, personally taking care of everything. However, every time the Emperor asked her what reward she desired, she would remain silent. Sometimes, when the Emperor sent countless amounts of gold, silver, and jewelry to Qiwu Palace, she would return them in their original state, allowing the Emperor to bestow them upon the concubines in need.

It could be said that in the grand Qiwu Hall, apart from the things that Princess Chu Qitong should have as a princess, there was nothing else that she had in excess. Even this medicine box, she had bought it with her own money from the hospital.

Later on, in order to make Chu Qitong accept the rewards, the emperor simply increased the monthly allowance for the princesses of the Great Chu Dynasty. This finally allowed him to stuff some things into the Qiwu Palace.

After placing the medicine box in front of Chu Qitong, Lilo gently closed the door and left the main hall. Under the scrutinizing gaze of the women, Chu Qitong opened the medicine box and skillfully took out the golden wound medicine and gauze.

This time, the woman did not tease Chu Qitong anymore. After seeing Chu Qitong's movements, she lowered her head and untied her own belt, revealing her injured shoulder.

Perhaps it was due to her careless movements on the carriage, the wound that had been hastily bandaged by Chu Qitong started to bleed, staining the blue hem of the skirt Chu Qitong had used to wrap the wound.

Chu Qitong furrowed her brows and sat down beside the woman. Then, she untied the fabric strip that was wrapped around the woman's shoulder. She opened the lid of the golden wound medicine and said to the woman, "It might hurt a little. Just bear with it. If you can't bear it anymore, you can hold on to me."

Chu Qitong spoke while extending her left hand in front of the woman, and with her right hand, she touched the woman's shoulder with a golden wound medicine.

Chu Qitong poured some golden wound medicine onto the woman's shoulder and then used a fresh silk handkerchief to wipe away the dried bloodstains around the wound. Throughout the whole process, the woman didn't blink her eyes nor did she attempt to grab Chu Qitong's hand. This made Chu Qitong unconsciously admire the woman's eyes.

Chu Qitong found some gauze and re-bandaged the woman's wounds. She tied a butterfly knot as usual, then turned around to tidy up the medicine box. Just then, she heard the woman ask, "Are you really a princess?"

It's not that the woman didn't believe in Chu Qitong, but from Chu Qitong's actions, she couldn't see any resemblance to the word "princess". It was already rare to see a princess being friendly and pleasing to the guards, but what intrigued the woman even more was how skilled Chu Qitong was in bandaging wounds. There was no hint of any reliance on others, which made the woman unable to control her curiosity.
