“Try this.”  

This medicine cleared heat and detoxified the body. It could be taken orally or applied externally.  

Princess Jingning clearly needed to clear internal heat, this should suit her condition.

But the acne on her face…

Su Xiaoxiao thought of the new ointment from the pharmacy.

She had repackaged it at home and carried a small bottle with her.

She took it out and instructed, “Take the yellow pills once a day, two pills each time. Apply the black ointment to the affected areas, but no more than twice a day for now.”

Princess Jingning looked at the medicine bottles on the table, with hesitation written on her face.

The young palace maid tried to dissuade her, “Your Highness, please don’t use random medicine. Don’t you remember the last time when you used a folk remedy and nearly ruined your face?”

That had happened last year.

Princess Jingning’s face hadn’t improved after a month of treatment. 

In her desperation, she had sought out a folk remedy, but after using it, her entire face swelled up like a pig’s head. 

In the end, it was Doctor Hu who developed an ointment that gradually reduced the swelling.

This memory still haunted her.

Su Xiaoxiao had great confidence in the medicine from the pharmacy. 

It had treated Su Yuan’s allergies, detoxified the old marquis, and healed her own wounds.

But she couldn’t force anyone to use it.

Besides, this medicine was precious. It was only because Princess Jingning had treated her to a meal that she had taken out so much at once.

This was all the stock she had left.

Once used up, this medicine would be gone.

Princess Jingning said, “I’ll keep the medicine. You may go and rest now.”

Su Xiaoxiao went to the adjacent room to rest.

The young palace maid opened the ointment jar in her hand. 

“Your Highness, this is a new ointment personally prepared by Doctor Hu. They say it’s more effective than the previous one. Let me apply it for you.”

“Mmm.” 

Princess Jingning nodded faintly.

After applying the ointment, the maid stepped back, allowing the princess to rest.

Princess Jingning tossed and turned in bed, the itchiness on her face making it impossible to sleep.

Doctor Hu’s ointment had worked the first few times, but gradually, it lost its effect. 

Today, he claimed to have changed the formula, but aside from an initial cooling sensation, it soon felt exactly like the old ointment.

“So itchy.”

Princess Jingning wanted to scratch, but the moment she touched her skin, a sharp pain followed.

Agitated and uncomfortable, she felt utterly restless.

Suddenly, her gaze fell on the small medicine bottle Su Xiaoxiao had left behind.

Adopting a ‘giving medicine to a dead horse*’ mindset, Princess Jingning opened the bottle, took two pills, and swallowed them.

*giving medicine to a dead horse (idiom) : to keep trying everything in a desperate situation, also refers to making the last attempt. 

The pills were one thing, but the ointment was truly… black, sticky, and downright disgusting.

Suppressing her revulsion, she dabbed a small amount onto her acne.

The application felt intensely cooling.

Soon after, she lay down and fell asleep.

Unexpectedly, she slept soundly and comfortably.

When it was time for class, two palace maids stood guard at the door, uncertain whether to wake her or not.

“Sister Ziyun, should we wake the princess?”

“Her Highness hasn’t slept well these past few nights. Let her rest while she can.”

The afternoon was dedicated to equestrian and archery lessons.

All the other young ladies had brought riding attire, only Su Xiaoxiao who was unaware and hadn’t prepared in advance.

Seeing her arrive in the same clothes she had worn in the morning, the young ladies couldn’t help but sneer.

Su Xiaoxiao remained composed, completely ignoring their ridicule.

Southeast of Qilin Hall lay a spacious grassy field where palace attendants had already brought the horses.

Princess Hui’an had her own dedicated steed, a chestnut-colored Ferghana horse. 

-Ferghana horse 

Though not as large as the warhorses from the military camps, its speed and strength were not to be underestimated.

Princess Hui’an took her horse for a few laps around the field, drawing gasps of admiration from the onlookers.

“Princess Hui’an’s horse is so beautiful!”
