While Princess Zhaorong cried, she waved her sleeves desperately to drive away all kinds of insects that were still flying toward her.
Although the guards kept using torches to help her drive away the bugs, they all seemed to be desperate for their lives and kept fighting her to the death, as if they had a deep hatred for her.
"You...are you really Zhaorong? Oh my God, how could you become like this?"
Ning Guogong finally heard his daughter's voice. His hands were trembling. He didn't care that his daughter was covered with disgusting things. He hugged Zhaorong and shed two tears.
"Quick! You damn fools, why don't you go call the doctor! Go quickly!"
"Come here! Send the princess back to the mansion quickly. Also, you must find a way to kill all these things on the princess. Quick! Quick!"
Ning Guogong sent someone to send the embarrassed Princess Zhaorong into the room.
The people in the mansion hurriedly prepared hot water for Princess Zhaorong to bathe.
When Princess Zhaorong was taking a bath, the mosquitoes were still flying desperately into Princess Zhaorong's room. They were so frightened that the maidservants closed the doors and windows tightly so as not to expose any gaps.
After Princess Zhaorong took seven or eight baths in a row, the smell of insect attractant powder was completely washed away. The mosquitoes and bees couldn't smell the smell, so they flew around like headless flies for a while and then dispersed.
The maids breathed a sigh of relief and helped Princess Zhaorong out of the bathtub. However, Princess Zhaorong had been stung all over her body. There were bee stings and mosquito bites all over her body. Yes, there were also bedbug bites, which were painful and itchy, making her cry for father and mother.
The imperial doctor rushed over quickly and was shocked when he saw Princess Zhaorong's appearance. After checking Princess Zhaorong's pulse, he wrote a prescription and took out a tube of ointment and handed it to Ning Guogong.
"My lord, this is a tube of refreshing mint ointment. It can temporarily relieve the pain and itching of the princess. However, the toxins accumulated in the princess' body need to be slowly removed by drinking medicine."
"Poison? What kind of poison did Zhaorong get?" Ning Guogong's eyes narrowed.
The imperial doctor hurriedly said: "The princess was stung in many places by bees, so some bee venom accumulated in her body. It is not poisoning. As long as you take the medicine according to the prescription, you will be fine."
Ning Guogong nodded, sent someone to send the imperial doctor away, and asked his maid to help Zhaorong apply the medicine.
He walked out of the room, and the more he thought about it, the more strange it became. Zhaorong went to compete with Gu Qingze, but how could it become like this? It was like she had a grudge against those insects in her previous life, and the insects came together to find her. Hatred.
"Come here, find the guards who followed the princess to compete in martial arts. My lord will question them personally."
Duke Ning Guo was sitting in the hall, and the guards below him knelt in a row.
"Tell me exactly what happened today, and don't miss a word!" He slapped the table hard and shouted sternly.
The guards were all frightened into silence and trembling all over, but they still had the courage to tell the story of Princess Zhaorong's martial arts competition with Gu Qingze.
In fact, the process of the competition was very simple. Gu Qingze knocked off Princess Zhaorong's whip as soon as he took action. They just blinked and Princess Zhaorong knelt in front of Gu Qingze.
After listening to the reports from the guards, Ning Guogong became increasingly puzzled.
Zhaorong's loss to Gu Qingze was something he had expected, and this was also his original intention.
