Chapter 397: The Scent of Princess Ata (Thanks to the crying smile for the monthly ticket and update)

The Imperial Physicians didn’t dare to blink, afraid they might miss even the slightest gesture of the Eldest Princess.

Xiaosuisui felt everyone’s gaze, but she didn’t feel nervous at all.

Her small hand reached for Princess Ata’s neck, then slowly helped her sit up.

Princess Ata turned her head to look at her and opened her mouth as if she wanted to speak. Xiaosuisui didn’t understand her expression and sat down directly behind Princess Ata, placing her small hand against the princess’s back.

The Imperial Physicians were puzzled. "Eldest Princess, what are you trying to do?" they asked. One Imperial Physician courageously voiced the question.

Xiaosuisui did not answer; Ji Youzhi replied for her.

"She’s going to use her own True Qi, applying the principle of indirect force, to force the scissors out of Princess Ata."

When Xiaosuisui said she could make the scissors float out on their own, Ji Youzhi had thought of this method. However, his own Power was insufficient to accomplish it.

Xiaosuisui was different. Ji Youzhi had heard his elder brother say that Suisui’s abilities, whether Cultivation Techniques or other Techniques, seemed to be innate, imprinted deeply in her soul as if she had already practiced them for millennia.

The True Qi within her, the flow of her Qi, was like a vast, boundless ocean.

As soon as Ji Youzhi finished speaking, everyone saw Xiaosuisui’s and the Nanjiang Princess’s clothes flutter though there was no wind. Then, the Eldest Princess of Great Han’s clear shout echoed in their ears, "Rise... Go!"

Visible to the naked eye, the scissors lodged in the Nanjiang Princess’s chest flew out like an obedient bee.

Blood gushed from the Nanjiang Princess’s chest, instantly soaking her clothes.

It was late September, and the weather had begun to cool. Princess Ata was not wearing many layers, but she still had on an inner, middle, and outer garment.

Experienced Imperial Physicians moved forward, intending to remove Princess Ata’s outer garment.

The Nanjiang guards roared, "What do you old scoundrels think you’re doing?"

The Imperial Physicians trembled and paused. "We are, of course, trying to bandage the Princess!"

The Nanjiang guard said with dissatisfaction, "You didn’t dare remove the scissors, but now you’re eager to bandage the wound. Doesn’t Great Han have any female physicians?"

In Nanjiang, many people studied medicine, and most of them, both men and women, practiced Gu Techniques.

In Great Han, however, it was different. Men and women had distinct roles: women managed the household and raised children, while men learned skills to support their families.

"This..."

The Imperial Physicians looked at each other. The Nanjiang guard then pointed to Xie Pan’Er.

"You... bandage our princess. As for these foolish and useless Imperial Physicians, get out!"

The guard demanded coldly. The Imperial Physicians quickly glanced at Ji Youzhi. Everyone knew that this Divine Hunter carried an Imperially Bestowed Gold Medal; if he nodded, they could safely depart.

"Leave one person. The rest of you can return for now," Ji Youzhi said indifferently, his gaze fixed on the Nanjiang guard.

This guard is no simple man! The guards of Great Han would never dare to make decisions for their Masters!

Once the Imperial Physicians had left, Xie Pan’Er approached Princess Ata’s bed and carefully began to remove her clothing. Xiaosuisui handed her a porcelain bottle containing a topical ointment.

Pan’Er took it and helped apply the ointment. Then, Xiaosuisui fed Princess Ata an Elixir. Xiaosuisui’s small nose twitched, and she whispered,

Why does Princess Ata smell the same as Brother Xie Si?
