The Empress Uncontrollable
Physician Fang's Aid

Currently Prince Song and Ailing had arrived at a simple residential area. Ailing also accelerated his pace while carrying Prince Song who pretended to be weak.

“Please!“ yell Ailing.

And of course Ailing's shout made the two of them instantly become the center of attention of people who were busy shoulder to shoulder cooking together in the village.

“What happened Miss?" asked a middle-aged woman as she approached Ailing and Prince Song.

Soon two young men approached Ailing and Prince Song like the middle-aged woman.

“Please help us Madam, my husband is currently injured like he is famous for poison,” Ailing said.

The middle-aged woman immediately gave a sign to the two young men who were beside her. Then without thinking, Ailing handed Prince Song to the two young men.

“Eh, where is he going?" ailing asked as she saw Prince Song in the bopong away from his current place.

The middle-aged woman patted Ailing's shoulder gently. “It's okay, they'll take him to the healer. We can go there if you want,”.

Ailing nodded. 'I don't know the character of the people who are here, it's better I don't leave him alone. Yes, as the saying goes 'better prevent than cure'. I have to prepare with all the possibilities, ' her inner self.

“Alright, then let's get there. But first introduce my name is Nuo. I'm the wife of the village chief here. My husband is going to the city to discuss something, so I am in charge at the moment.“ The middle-aged woman introduced herself politely.

“I'm sorry if I was impolite. We both just survived the siege of the robber, I still feel scared at this moment. My name is Ailing and that is my husband Songki. We are merchants" said Ailing who deliberately wanted to hide their true identity.

“Both I understand. Then let me take you to Physician Fang's place. Let's see if Doctor Fang needs our help to treat your husband's wounds,” said Mrs Nuo scowling to show Ailing the way.

They also stepped together into a house that looks quite large when compared to other houses in the village. After arriving there, Ailing and Madam Nuo continued to wait for the treatment process from outside the room.

'Is he okay? Why is there no sound in the room? Or maybe he died of blood loss?' thought Ailing who was feeling more agitated.

“Calm down,” said Mrs Nuo as she rubbed Ailing's back gently. “Tabib Fang used to be a famous healer in the city. He even worked for the kingdom, so you just leave everything to Physician Fang,”, said Mrs Nuo.

'Ever worked in the kingdom? Has he seen the Shucks, too? Ah, that man always goes to war, should the royal physician rarely see him. But I better confirm it, Ailing's inner self while looking back at the room where Prince Song was being treated.

“Did this Physician Fang have long worked in the kingdom?“ her question then turned to look back at Madam Nuo who was beside her.

“I heard this Physician Fang is considered a teacher in the kingdom. He has not been to the kingdom for a long time, but often there are some royal healers who come here to ask for advice and teaching from him,” Mrs Nuo.

“Hmm," muttered Ailing thinking about it.

'If it is like that, this Physician should not memorize with the Shucks. Huh, fortunately .. yes, this way I can be calmer. So there will be no one to spread if there is an incident like this, ' his mind.

Long enough Ailing and Madam Nuo waited there, finally the two men who had brought Prince Song into the room came out. Ailing immediately got up and rushed over to the two young men.

“Sorry Sir, how is my husband?" asked Ailing who was really curious about the state of Prince Song.

“Thank God," said Ailing while stroking his chest. “Thank you Sir, you have helped me and my husband,” said Ailing while bowing his body.

Then the Physician came down from the stairs and walked towards Ailing calmly. “It's okay, it's my duty as a healer to save others" he replied with a warm smile.

A moment later Physician Fang turned to look towards Madam Nuo. "Please give the house near the bridge to the two of them. Let the two of them stay for a while there until the wound of this master and mistress is healed," Physician Fang's plea said.

Madam Nuo frowned upon hearing Physician Fang's request. There is a question mark on his head, however, the house near the bridge is a special house to welcome guests. “But mr—”

“Already, it's okay for me to explain it to your husband later,“ cut Physician Fang while making a small nod.

Getting such a mark finally Madam Nuo did not dare to argue. He then turned his gaze to the two youths who were currently still standing near Ailing. “Yan and Tse, you guys come with me to help clean up the place.“

“Good Mistress Nuo,” answered the two men almost simultaneously.

“Then we retreat first,” said Mrs Nuo politely.

“Yes, please,” said the Physician Fang while once again nodding his head.

After that, the three men left the area.

“Excuse me Sir if I trouble you. I will leave this place immediately if my husband has recovered," said Ailing who felt a little uneasy from seeing Madam Nuo's expression earlier.

Then a laugh emerged from the lips of the man who could be estimated to be more than 70 years old. "Are you offended by Mrs Nuo?“

Ailing. "Not really, I'm not offended by anyone. But if there really is a bit of a problem with the arrival of a new person like us, I can understand that."

“There is no such problem. Here there are some rules about the arrival of new people, but I'm sure you're good people. So I will guarantee you during your stay in this place,” Beber Physician Fang with his relaxed style.

“Ah, thank you Sir. My Husband and I owe you.“

“It's okay. I'm leaving, you take care of your husband until the house near the bridge is ready. Later there will be servants who come here, you can clean yourself and tell your needs to him. Think of it as your own home," Physician Fang said as he patted Ailing's shoulder and then passed away from the place.

“Thank you Sir,” said Ailing as he looked towards the more distant Physician Fang.

“Third once,” murmured Ailing when Physician Fang was already out of sight.

'Ah, I better not think about this too much. The most important thing now is that the Shucks must heal quickly, his mind while stepping into the treatment room.

When opening the door ….

“Prince!“ yell Ailing.
