Concubine Xian was holding her breath and concentrating, asking the imperial doctor to clean her wounds.
The blood from Concubine Xian's knees seeped into her hakama, sticking her flesh to her hakama pants. She had no choice but to roll up her trouser legs to apply the medicine, so she had to order the palace maid to find scissors, cut open her hakama pants, and tear them into pieces for convenience.
Apply medicine!
Even the imperial doctor couldn't stand the sight of that bloody scene!
Concubine Xian is really cruel. She knelt down hard, and the broken pieces were also stabbed hard. Look at this, it won't be cured in even one or two months!
"My dear, be patient, I will ask the doctor to give you the medicine!"
In order to avoid suspicion, after the imperial doctor took a look at the injury, he took the initiative to retreat and called the female doctor who followed him to apply medicine to the noble concubine!
The doctor woman stepped forward cautiously, and carefully cut off the hakama pants at the knees of Concubine Xian. There was still some cloth stuck to the skin. The doctor woman first moistened it with medicinal juice, and then carefully used tweezers to remove it.
The fabric was cleaned bit by bit! The pain of this process was unbearable, but Concubine Xian gritted her teeth and endured it!
After applying the medicine, the medical girl bandaged up the noble concubine, and then she reluctantly withdrew.
"Your Majesty, this injury will take some time to heal. Please don't move around again until the scabs form! Also remember not to let the wound get wet! Otherwise, the infection will become more serious and it may be difficult to recover!"
The imperial doctor carefully put away the medicine box, and before leaving, he gave many instructions and instructions.
Concubine Xian waved her hand towards him without saying a word. After all, at this moment, her face was as pale as a sheet of pain and she couldn't utter a single word!
After the imperial doctor and the medical woman left, Yun Kai led Yun Yi in.
"Concubine! What's wrong with you?"
Yun Yi's small body was about to pounce, but Yun Kai grabbed her by the back collar.
"Yi'er, my mother-in-law is injured, don't touch her!"
Yun Kai said to Yun Yi with a cold face.
"Don't scare your sister, my mother-in-law is fine!"
Concubine Xian endured the pain and spoke weakly. Then, she raised her hand and waved to Yun Yi, asking Yun Yi to come closer. When Yun Yi came closer, a smile appeared on her pale face.
meaning.
"Good boy, my concubine is injured right now and can't protect you! Recently, you have to listen to your brother's words and stop running around!"
She didn't know how many pairs of evil hands in this man-eating palace were staring at the Xiangui Concubine, mother and son! It wouldn't take long for the news of her injury in the imperial study to spread throughout the palace!
At that time, all kinds of rumors were flying in the sky. For Concubine Yu Xian, it was nothing, but... for brother and sister Yu Yunkai, it was extremely disadvantageous!
Yun Yi nodded in understanding, and leaned obediently in Concubine Xian's arms. There were hidden tears in her clear eyes! This was the first time for Yun Yi to see her mother-in-law suffer such serious injuries.
Injury! What was left behind in the basins of water brought out were pieces of handkerchiefs stained with blood!
Although Concubine Xian tried her best to hide it, Yun Yi still saw that her legs under the thin quilt were slightly bloated.
"Concubine, does it hurt?"
Yunyi stretched out her little hand and gently opened a corner of the quilt, looking at Concubine Xian's knees, which were wrapped in layers of white gauze.
"Mother, it doesn't hurt!"
Concubine Xian smiled weakly and touched Yunyi's little head.
"Yi'er screams for the concubine, and the concubine will no longer feel pain!"
Yun Yi lowered his head, pursed his lips, and started blowing at Concubine Xian's knees.
Concubine Xian smiled, with tears in her smile.
…
Not long after, everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Xian was injured in the imperial study. What's more, they added fuel to the fire and made it appear that Concubine Xian was injured by someone ordered by the emperor!
Now, those women in the harem who were not too concerned about watching the excitement had one more thing to talk about after dinner!
The next day.
"What? Concubine Xian is injured?"
In Fengqi Palace, when the queen heard the news from the palace servants, her first reaction was shock! For so many years, the emperor has been hurting Concubine Xian to the point of pain. Now, why is he willing to let her get hurt again?
"She also has today?"
After reacting, the queen laughed wildly! It was as if the resentment that had been accumulated in her chest for many years was suddenly released!
"Let's go to Jiyue Palace!"
The queen took Ji Nanyan, who was beating her legs with her head lowered, and headed to the Jiyue Palace together.
Ji Nanyan didn't want to join in the fun, but now that she was the second prince's wife, how could the queen not drag her along in such an occasion?
Along the way, Queen Gao felt like the wind was blowing under her feet, and she walked so happily! With her head held high, she wanted to raise her head to the sky! Ji Nanyan followed silently, looking at the petty Queen Gao in front of her, with a hint of disdain in her eyes!
Did Empress Gao really think that the emperor had abandoned the virtuous concubine? If that was the case, why did the emperor allow the imperial doctor to go to Jiyue Palace? Anyone with a brain can see that even if the emperor really punished him, Xian Guifei, that’s just a moment of anger!
When they arrived at Jiyue Palace, Empress Gao walked in without asking anyone to inform her. However, the maid from Jiyue Palace saw her and hurriedly ran to report it to Concubine Xian!
When she learned that Empress Gao was coming, Concubine Xian didn't panic at all, only showing a hint of impatient disgust! She had known for a long time that Empress Gao would definitely come over to complain about her injury! But she didn't expect that Gao would The queen came so quickly!
"Hey, sister! I heard that you were injured, so I came to take a look at you!"
Before anyone arrived, she spoke first. That passionate voice was the joy that Queen Gao could not conceal!
The noble concubine Xian was not upset. She picked up her usual elegance and half-lyed on the couch without being humble or arrogant. Then after Empress Gao entered the room, she spoke unhurriedly: "I am injured, so it is inconvenient to greet the empress. I hope the Queen will forgive me!"
Concubine Xian straightened her upper body and bowed slightly towards Empress Gao, which was regarded as a salute to her!
Queen Gao was naturally happy to see Concubine Xian looking like this, so how could she care about the false courtesy?
"How did my sister get hurt? Tsk, tsk, tsk... I'm so pitiful!"
Empress Gao walked to Concubine Xian and sat down, minding her own business. Then, in a proud tone, she spoke words of distress to Concubine Xian!
"Thank you very much for your concern, Queen. I am so injured..."
Concubine Xian paused and glanced at Queen Gao's shining eyes. There was unconcealable joy and contentment in her eyes!
Queen Gao... is really an idiot!
"My concubine's injury was caused accidentally by me."
Concubine Xian smiled and continued.
Not getting the expected answer, Queen Gao was not satisfied.
"Did you hurt yourself? How could anyone hurt their own knee? I look at my sister's legs. I'm afraid she won't be able to get out of bed in a few months! Why did my sister offend the emperor? She suffered such a serious injury. Punishment? Tsk tsk tsk..."
Empress Gao really couldn't hide her happiness, and she had no scruples at all when she spoke.
Ji Nanyan on the side rolled her eyes silently. She really couldn't stand Queen Gao's stupid look anymore!
"Your Majesty, please be careful! Your Majesty did not punish me. I accidentally injured myself."
Concubine Xian spoke again to correct Empress Gao's words.
Until this moment, Queen Gao had not realized that she had said the wrong thing.
"If the emperor doesn't punish you, how can you endure this torture? If I say this, I'm afraid it will make people laugh to death!"
Empress Gao was obviously carried away. She probably forgot that the place she was in now was the imperial palace! It was the Jiyue Palace! It was the palace of the emperor and his most beloved concubine!
"Who are you listening to, Queen, saying that I have beaten and punished the virtuous concubine?"
At this moment, a loud and familiar male voice came from the door.
Upon hearing this, the people in the Jiyue Palace knelt down one after another.
A somewhat meaningful smile appeared on Concubine Xian's face. She glanced at Empress Gao beside her, and saw that she was so frightened that she almost fell to her knees. Fortunately, Ji Nanyan behind her had quick eyesight and quick hands to save her.
Hold on!
"I have met the emperor!"
Concubine Xian withdrew her eyes, lifted the quilt covering her legs, and pretended to go down to the ground to salute.
“My beloved concubine is exempt from gifts!”
When the emperor saw this, he hurried forward and held the Concubine Xian firmly with his strong hands!
"My concubine...has met the emperor!"
Empress Gao finally regained her composure, bowed to the emperor tremblingly, and then spoke cautiously.
But the emperor didn't even look at her.
"Is my concubine feeling better today? Last night, I was negligent! If the imperial doctor hadn't informed me in time, I wouldn't have known that my concubine was so seriously injured!"
The anxiety on the emperor's face was very dazzling in the eyes of Empress Gao. But in the eyes of Concubine Xian, it was so hypocritical that it made people laugh.
"I'm fine with you, it's your fault that I'm worried about you!"
Concubine Xian was leaning on the bed, her watery eyes looking at the emperor affectionately. Any man's iron heart could melt!
Queen Gao on the side looked at the scene in front of her where the man was in love with his concubine, and she almost broke her silver teeth with hatred!
"Queen, you haven't answered my question yet. Who told you that I punished the virtuous concubine!"
The emperor sat next to Concubine Xian, letting her lean into his arms, and then slowly opened his mouth to question Empress Gao.
Faced with the emperor's sudden questioning, Empress Gao was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
"explain!"
The emperor's words revealed majesty and intolerance.
Queen Gao spoke tremblingly and pointed at a palace maid following behind her: "Qing'er said it."
"Drag him down and beat him to death!"
The emperor didn't even look at the palace maid, and directly gave the order to die.
Upon hearing this, the palace attendant outside the door immediately entered the room and dragged the palace maid named "Qing'er" out.
Qing'er didn't even have time to cry out for herself, so she was gagged and dragged into the courtyard. The sound of squeezing followed one after another, mixed with Qing'er's muffled grunt, and one after another, everything was hit.
On Queen Gao's mind! Not long after, someone from the palace came back to report that Qing'er was dead.
When Queen Gao heard this, she was so frightened that her legs went weak and she almost fell down! If Ji Nanyan hadn't held her back, she would have collapsed to the ground long ago, embarrassing herself!
"Today, I am just giving you a small punishment and a big warning! As the queen of the harem, you can't even control the people in your own palace, so what do I want you, the queen, to do?"
The emperor's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough to reach the ears of everyone present!
"I...I know my mistake! From now on...I will strictly manage everyone in the harem! Don't let them...talk nonsense!"
Queen Gao knelt down with a "pop" sound, her whole body shaking uncontrollably!
The emperor glanced at Empress Gao coldly, waved his hand towards her, and did not bother to say a word to her.
Seeing this, Ji Nanyan hurriedly stepped forward, helped Empress Gao up, and then helped Empress Gao leave Jiyue Palace.
Looking at Empress Gao who was walking away, Concubine Xian didn't even have the slightest hint of victory in her eyes!
Man, when you think he is affectionate, in fact, he can be so ruthless that he ignores anyone's life, even his own pillow! Years of companionship are no match for his momentary suspicion!
