The Story of a Stroppy Princess

Chapter 27

Two hours later, Hua Yueling had a shower and changed her clothes . She came out with verdurous thin blouse and pleated skirt . Her long hair fell down over her waist, and the hairpin swayed with the breeze . What a stunning woman: Her thin shoulder was so elegant and her waist was slender; her skin was fair and her temperament was so graceful . Seeing this, Ye You, standing in the yard, felt stunned .

“Ye You, Is Xiaolong awake?” Hua Yueling asked, raising her eyebrows . Ye You, as well, changed a set of black suit with stitched patterns, which made him exceedingly gorgeous .

“Yes, he has already waken up, but his memory hasn’t been recovered . ” Ye You gave a deep and serene glance to Hua Yueling .

“Er, alas, I am so sorry for tossing about you two . Eh . . . I’d better see him . ” Hua Yueling went towards Hua Xiaolong’s bedroom and Ye You followed her at once .

“Xiaolong, how was your sleep?” Entering Hua Xiaolong’s room, she found him having breakfast and then smiled to him .

“Sister, so yummy . ” Hua Xiaolong answered with steamed stuffed buns in his mouth, revealing a silly but lovely look .

“Fine, help yourself . Well, does your head pain? Do you still remember anything?” Hua Yueling was so distressed .

“Sister, I cannot recall anything . ” Hua Xiaolong looked at Hua Yueling with a strong sense of being wronged . “Here aches so much . ” Hua Xiaolong touched the middle of his head .

“Xiaolong, I hit the back side of your head, why you have pain in the middle?” Hua Yueling felt exasperated and amused .

“I am so painful . Ooh, ooh, quite painful . You see the blood . ”Hua Xiaolong groped for a while and extended his hand to Hua Yueling .

The minute Hua Yueling noticed the blood on Hua Xiaolong’s hand, she turned to Ye You in fear .

Ye You’s complexion changed and he said,“I didn’t hit him, and he awoke at midnight and then fell into sleep again . ” Ye You was watching him the whole night . However, when Hua Xiaolong got up, he still couldn’t remember anything, which made him so disappointed . Hua Xiaolong was unstoppable making a fuss when he woke up, so Ye You had to strike his sleeping acupoint to help him fall asleep . But He absolutely did not hit his head .

“Let me have a look . ” Walking behind Hua Xiaolong, Hua Yueling spread his black hair with both hands, but only to find his scalp red and swollen, and there were signs of bleeding . Seeing this, Hua Yueling frowned, “What happened, Xiaolong, was your head hit by something?”

“No, never, it is just aching . ” Hua Xiaolong curled his lips .

“Let’s go . Stop eating now, I’ll take you to the doctor first and then to eat some delicious food . ” Hua Yueling adored Hua Xiaolong and thought, “Luckily I took him home . Otherwise, he would die out of pain if he didn’t see a doctor . ”

“Ok, sister, are we going to Shasha’s house?” Hua Xiaolong said happily .

“Ha-ha, take it easy . Shasha will not vanish . The most important thing is to see the doctor first . I am very busy today, but I will fulfill my promise . Do you trust me?” Hua Yueling took his hand and talked to him as if to coax a child .

“Sure . I trust you, sister, you are the fairy sister . ” Hua Xiaolong gave a dazzling smile to Hua Yueling . And his shining white teeth provoked her a strong sense of care toward him .

“Ye You, get the carriage ready . Go to see Dr . Chow first . ” Hua Yueling commanded Ye You .

“Yes, My Lady . ” Ye You was going to prepare . Hua Yueling helped Hua Xiaolong dress up and then called Ping’er----finally they got out of the Prime Minister’s Mansion .

Dr . Chow was the Imperial Physician . But he was old, so the Emperor granted him to retire and awarded him a nice house . It was not far from the Prime Minister’s Mansion . Because of his excellent medical skills, many royal relatives and nobles who got illness preferred to ask for his help . Hua Yueling had been ill and had been there for several times .

“Xiaolong, come here . Let Dr . Chow see . ” After greeting the old Imperial Physician, Hua Yueling called Xiaolong to sit down . Ye You and Ping’er were waiting in the yard .

The old doctor smiled and said kindly, “Boy, does it hurt here?”

“Yes, it hurts, here . ” Hua Xiaolong pointed his head to the old doctor . Immediately, Hua Yueling pointed her head and said, “Uncle Chow, he is 18, but his memory still stays at 10 . And it is not clear at all, he can only remember some fragments . ”

“I see!” The old doctor was surprised and looked at Hua Xiaolong whose eyes were full of limpidity and innocence .

The old doctor frowned . He spread Xiaolong’s hair and saw a red and swollen wound . “Here is the Baihui acupoint (The acupoint of the human body is located at the intersection of the Central Line of the head and the line of the two tips of the ears . ), how did you get hurt here?”

“He doesn’t know either, just saying that it hurts . ” Hua Yueling also thought it was weird .

“Ouch! That hurts!” Hua Xiaolong’s wound was gently pressed by the old doctor . He suddenly cried out out of the pain, and his eyes were full of tears .

“Not good . There was something in his Bahhui acupoint . ” The old doctor said with a changed facial expression .

“What?” Hua Yueling was shocked, “How the heck?”

“Young man, hold on . I have to press it again . This is a very important acupoint of human body . We should take it seriously . ” The old Imperial Physician said to Hua Xiaolong seriously .

“Xiao Long, listen, maybe the reason why you can’t remember is that there is something in it . You are not afraid of pain, aren’t you? You can bear it, right?” Hua Yueling comforted him .

“Well, could . . . could you please be a little bit gentle?” Hua Xiaolong grasped Hua Yueling’s hand and said in fear .

“OK, Dr . Chow will be gentle . ” The old Imperial Doctor inspected carefully with his gentle massage . While Hua Yueling, very nervously, looked at the old Imperial Doctor’s serious face .

“Ouch, it hurts . ” Hua Xiaolong cried, and Hua Yueling hurriedly encouraged him .

The old Imperial Physician stopped checking and turned to Hua Yueling and said, “Ling’er, there is a foreign thing on his Baihui acupoint, which should be sharp things like silver needles . Moreover, his mind stays at the age of ten, which is very likely related to the foreign thing inside . ”

“Ah, what should we do then?” Hua Yueling was scared .

“Uncle Chow, do I need a surgery?” Hearing those words, Hua Xiaolong uttered .

“No, it’s too dangerous to have a surgery on this place, for you will die of any little mistakes . Only those with high martial arts can use their inner energy to force it out . Remember, it must be the one with high inner energy, or it may invite disaster . Because the one who forced the foreign matter into his body without killing him must possess a very high inner energy and act very fast . ” The old Imperial Doctor said, “I can only give him some medicine to relieve his pain . There is nothing else I can do . ”

“Dr . Chow, how many years of inner energy will it take for a people to help him drive out that foreign matters?” Hua Yueling said nervously .

“More than 30 years . ” The old Imperial Physician thought for a while and said .

“More than 30 years? Who has such a strong inner energy?” Hua Yueling knew that Ye You might have, but it was hard to say whether he had more, and the Third Prince had exactly thirty-year inner energy . Who else has?”

“Well, I don’t know . Ling’er, you can ask your father . The old Imperial Physician applied medicine to Hua Xiaolong . Hua Xiaolong suddenly felt cool on the top of his head and felt better .

“Oh, thank you, Uncle Chow . Xiao Long, don’t forget to say thanks to Dr . Chow . ” Hua Yueling took leave by nodding .

“Dr . Chow, thank you . Xiao Long is going to eat delicious food with sister . ” Hua Xiaolong said happily .

Looking at Hua Xiaolong’s 18-year-old appearance and his boyish temperament, Imperial Physician Chow sighed in his mind and thought to himself that who would be so vicious to forcedly insert foreign matters into such a handsome man’s Baihui acupoint?
