"No, don't worry, everything is fine at your father's side. Something happened to someone among the guests, and your mother has already gone over to deal with it." Princess Fengrong came back to her senses, "How is the investigation going?"
Li Zian briefly informed Concubine Fengrong of the situation just now.
"It seems that someone deliberately wants to use this banquet to throw dirty water on us."
Sure enough, Princess Fengrong had the same idea as Li Zian.
Thinking of this, she looked at Shen Tianshu with more loving eyes and said, "It's really thanks to Girl Shen this time."
"What happened to the guest?" Li Zian then remembered to ask.
"It's the girl from the Huang family. Her face and lips suddenly started to swell just now. She said it hurt a lot." Concubine Fengrong didn't like the Huang family mother and daughter at first, but she wanted to socialize because of the honor of the one in the palace, but they were struggling today. These things that happened made her almost unable to maintain her dignity.
"I heard that the girl fainted in Xin Lai Pavilion before. She didn't go to see the doctor even if she asked them to. After she woke up, she still had to go to the luncheon. It's good now. Everyone else is fine, but she is weak. , she had an attack after just two bites." The more Princess Fengrong spoke, the more displeased she became, "Fortunately, she is the only one like this, otherwise we wouldn't know how to end it, and Miss Shen's efforts to cover it up would have been in vain."
After Princess Fengrong finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something. She raised her head and said to Li Zian, "I'm fine here. You can go over and see if your mother needs help."
After hearing this, Shen Tianshu thought to himself that it seemed that Princess Fengrong was going to completely put an end to Huang Tingshan's idea of marrying into the palace.
After eating the poisonous fungus, the face will be swollen like a pig's head and the lips will be turned out. At this time, the concubine suddenly asked Li Zian to go. When Huang Tingshan's unbearable scene was seen by the prince, she would not be able to walk around in the future. What kind of face can be put on it?
However, Li Zi'an obviously didn't think of this meaning at all. He even knew about Huang Tingshan after hearing Li Zihan talk about it, and didn't take it to heart at all.
At this time, the doctor in the side hall has not yet come. Huang Tingshan's originally pretty face was swollen. Her small cherry mouth was swollen and turned out slightly. Her cheeks, which were originally white and rosy, were now red and swollen, and the skin was still faint. There is a somewhat translucent feeling, and it seems like blisters are about to form.
She didn't know what had happened to her at this time. She only felt that her whole face was swollen and painful, and she occasionally felt itchy, but she didn't dare to reach out and scratch it.
Tears flowed down his cheeks uncontrollably, causing a sting when they crossed his cheeks.
"Mom, what's wrong with me? What's wrong with my face?" Huang Tingshan couldn't see her condition and was so panicked, "Mirror, I want a mirror! Let me see!"
Yuan didn't dare to show her a mirror, so she could only comfort her weakly: "Don't worry, the doctor will come and see her later."
When she mentioned this, she didn't feel very happy.
When everyone came over just now, she clearly heard Li Zian say that Dr. Liu was already treating the concubine in the palace. Now that her daughter has a problem, why does it take so long to hire a doctor?
Why don't you just ask Dr. Liu to come over and take a look?
Auntie Huang is a noble concubine in the palace. Doesn’t her daughter deserve to be treated by an imperial doctor?
Huang Tingshan was no longer able to think about this at this time. All her energy was focused on whether she had been disfigured. She kept crying and asked everyone around her: "What happened to my face? Someone tell me, my face." It hurts so much, wuwu..."
Princess Rui said to Yuanshi: "Why don't you let me go to the inner room to rest for a while? The doctor will be here soon."
However, Mrs. Yuan did not agree to let her daughter go to the inner room at all. She wished that everyone could see how Prince Rui's palace neglected her daughter. It took so long for a doctor to arrive.
At this time, the doctor had not yet arrived, and Princess Rui was still trying to cover up the matter. Yuanshi finally couldn't help but said: "Princess, it's not me who is making excuses. Didn't the Crown Prince just say that Dr. Chen is in the main hall? Why?"
You can't come here after such a long time? Or does it mean that our status is not worthy of working as a doctor?"
Princess Rui almost fell to the ground with anger at her words. She had good intentions and didn't want her daughter to be embarrassed in front of everyone, but as a result, she, her own mother, was willing to do it.
Before Princess Rui could explain, the door to the side hall was pushed open, and Li Zian stepped into the room, followed by Liu Xukun who was carrying a medicine box.
"Because Imperial Physician Liu had just been administering acupuncture to my grandmother and could not temporarily interrupt it, I came a little late. I hope Mrs. Huang will pay attention!"
Li Zian's words seemed polite, but in fact he had expressed great dissatisfaction.
It's just that there is a concubine in the palace who has given birth to a son, so what's the big deal?
If she is dragged like this now, if she really becomes the emperor's maternal wife, then the whole of Huguang will probably not be able to accommodate the Huang family.
After Li Zian finished speaking, he looked up and saw Huang Tingshan's swollen and completely deformed face, and subconsciously stopped in his steps.
Huang Tingshan's emotions were already on the verge of collapse, and now she suddenly met the eyes of Li Zian, who was still admiring her. She originally imagined that the scene should be particularly beautiful and shy, but now her face was full of embarrassment, and she couldn't see anyone at all.
"Ah——" She suddenly covered her face with her hands and screamed, "Don't look, don't look at my face——"
Princess Rui did not expect that Li Zian would come in suddenly, and frowned: "Why don't you accompany the concubine? What are you doing here?"
Li Zian hadn't recovered from the shock, and said subconsciously: "Miss Shen is accompanying grandma, and grandma asked me to come over and see if there is anything I can do to help..."
As soon as he said this, everyone present understood the intention of Princess Fengrong.
The Huang family's mother and daughter felt good about themselves, and thought this was Concubine Fengrong's concern for Huang Tingshan.
Princess Rui didn't know what to say, so she cleared her throat and said, "Can Dr. Liu please help Miss Huang to see what's going on?"
Although Li Zian saw his mother winking at him, he had recently become suspicious of Liu Xukun, so he pretended not to understand and just stayed, intending to observe if there was anything strange about Liu Xukun.
Liu Xukun then received the look from Princess Rui and said, "There are too many people here. Please ask Mrs. Huang and Miss Huang to move to the inner room so that they are not disturbed."
"Thank you, Dr. Liu." Mrs. Yuan said, helping her daughter and walking into the house.
Coincidentally, the inner room here is arranged for guests to change clothes, so there is a huge bronze mirror in the inner room.
Huang Tingshan stepped into the room and saw her current appearance in the mirror. If her clothes and jewelry weren't exactly the same, she couldn't believe that the "monster" in the mirror that was swollen into a pig's head was actually herself.
Moreover, his appearance was still seen by Li Zian, so no wonder he stopped suddenly just now.
That is to say, the prince is well-educated, so he was not scared away by her.
The more Huang Tingshan thought about it, the sadder she became. Tears flowed down uncontrollably, irritating her already swollen cheeks and turning them redder and brighter...
