When Chu Rui arrived at Fengyi Palace, the queen had just finished praying to the Buddha and was drinking tea.
"My son, I send my regards to my mother."
The queen did not raise her head, but took a sip of tea, and then slowly put the tea cup down with a graceful demeanor.
"Why are you so anxious to see me?" His voice was a little solemn, as if he didn't see the pustule on Chu Rui's face.
"I haven't seen my mother for many days, and I miss my mother very much, so I went to the palace to pay my respects to my mother." Chu Rui bowed, not at all arrogant as usual, but like a good girl who dared not make the slightest mistake.
.
Her mother had always treated her like this, but if she was wronged, her mother would never allow it.
"Since you have nothing to do, please step back." The queen said calmly.
Chu Rui's expression froze, "Actually, I did encounter some small things."
"Say." The majesty in the queen's voice seemed to be innate and omnipresent.
"Yes." Chu Rui spoke immediately, with a tone of grievance in his voice, "Mother, look at my face."
When the queen saw the condition on Chu Rui's face, her eyes suddenly turned cold, "Has the imperial doctor ever seen the pustules on your face?"
"The imperial doctor has seen it, but there is no way. We can only let Erchen recover on his own, and it will take a month or two. How can I see anyone!" Chu Rui cried.
When the queen mother asked why this happened, she pointed directly at Xie Yao, and the queen mother took action to punish him.
This method has been tried and tested repeatedly.
"You went to see Concubine Yi with this face a few days ago, right?" The queen changed the subject, with a hint of displeasure, "Since you miss me so much, why did you go directly to Concubine Yi when you entered the palace last time?
Say hello but not come to Fengyi Palace?"
"Shangguanyue wanted to see Concubine Yi first. At that time, King Han came to the palace to recuperate, so she came to beg Erchen to take her into the palace, saying that she would pay her respects to Concubine Yi first, and then she could stay in Qitian Palace. Erchen couldn't bear it.
If she refuses, I will accept her." Chu Rui's eyes moved quickly, and he had already prepared his words.
"What nonsense! Now you dare to lie to me!" The queen's face instantly turned cold, and her majesty spread throughout the palace.
Chu Rui knelt down with a loud thud in fright.
She had rarely seen her mother so angry. The last time she saw her was several years ago.
Why is the queen mother so angry?
"Your Majesty, please calm down and don't let your anger hurt your body." Aunt Chun next to the Queen immediately stepped forward and bowed.
The queen had a stern look on her face.
Chu Rui knelt and rolled her eyes wildly, guessing what her mother was thinking.
"There's no need to guess. You poisoned Concubine Yi and caused such a big fuss. I don't even want to know about it." The queen's phoenix eyes darkened slightly and she reprimanded in a cold voice.
Chu Rui suddenly panicked.
She obviously did it flawlessly, even her father immediately put Xie Yao in jail, and the coffin was sealed. Why did this matter turn around again?
"I know I was wrong. Mother, please listen to my explanation."
"There is no need to explain. In order to deal with Princess Han, you created such a big battle, which really disappoints me." The Queen narrowed her eyes coldly for a moment, "From today on, you should stay away from Prince Han.
There will definitely be a head-on conflict with Princess Han."
"Why!" Chu Rui asked directly with dissatisfaction upon hearing this.
She has been poisoned by Xie Yao to this extent, and she is not allowed to fight back. More importantly, even the fifth brother is not allowed to come close?
"There's nothing to be afraid of like a mere Xie Yao! Aren't it just her father and brother who went into battle to kill the enemy? We have many generals in Wanqi Kingdom, and every one of them can do it! Why should I worry about her!"
"As a citizen of Wanqi Kingdom, isn't it our duty to go to war for our country? Why does it seem like we owe them!"
"Shut up!" The queen scolded her coldly, turning her head and saying, "Mother Chun, slap your mouth."
Chu Rui was shocked. There were pustules on her face now. If she was slapped, her face would be full of flowers.
"My dear, no! Princess Rui's face is already injured. If you hit her, it will make the injury worse." Aunt Chun quickly advised her.
The queen stared at Chu Rui's face, her cold eyebrows darkened slightly, "I'll write it down for now. If I make another mistake, I will punish him as well."
"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Chu Rui breathed a sigh of relief.
If it was really beaten, the pustule would burst, and scars would probably remain, and she would be embarrassed to see others.
After scolding Chu Rui, the queen's expression softened and she waved towards Chu Rui, "Rui'er, come here and let me see your face."
Chu Rui's eyes suddenly turned red, and all the grievances came to her heart, "Queen Mother!"
The queen called Chu Rui to her side and carefully looked at the pustules on Chu Rui's face. Her brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and the breath in her eyes was cold.
"Princess Rui, do you have evidence to prove that these are all caused by Princess Han?" Aunt Chun looked very distressed.
She has been with the Queen all her life, and it can be said that she has watched Princess Rui grow up.
Chu Rui shook his head pitifully and looked at the queen, "Xie Yao knew medical skills and poisoned the son without knowing it. Even the imperial doctor couldn't tell what kind of poison he was poisoned. Xie Yao was too cruel! The queen mother immediately helped the son.
How about revenge?"
The Queen Mother was furious just now because she poisoned Concubine Yi. Now that she has admitted her fault, the Queen Mother will not allow Xie Yao to poison her.
The queen's hand paused for a moment and she shook her head slowly, "There's no rush. Even your father has to take care of the general's face in the past two days. Let's wait until these days have passed."
"I'm so worried! My face is covered with pustules, but Xie Yao is walking around alive and kicking. I'm not willing to accept it!" Chu Rui said angrily.
"A little impatience will ruin a big plan. Although you are not a man, you still have to learn more about the royal family's schemes and government." The queen looked serious.
"Yes. I will obey my mother's teachings." Chu Rui said dejectedly.
"As for Shangguan Yue, you should be more considerate and don't be used as a weapon without knowing it." The queen said earnestly.
Chu Rui was a little surprised when her mother mentioned Shangguan Yue.
Shangguan Yue was bullied miserably by Xie Yao. It was she who wanted to avenge Shangguan Yue and had nothing to do with Shangguan Yue.
However, she did not dare to talk back to her mother anymore, so she agreed, "I understand."
"Mother Chun, go and bring me the Spring Breeze Jade Dew Ointment." the queen ordered.
Aunt Chun was stunned and said, "Your Majesty, there is not much left of the Spring Breeze Jade Dew Cream. The Emperor left it for you to get rid of..."
"It doesn't matter, just bring it. I can't keep seeing Rui'er like this." The queen was full of confidence.
"Yes." Aunt Chun responded and went to get it.
Soon, Aunt Chun took the Spring Breeze Jade Dew Cream and applied a thin layer on Chu Rui's face.
Chu Rui immediately felt that the rising feeling on his face for the past few days had disappeared, and there was still a hint of coolness.
Finally, I took a mirror and took a closer look, but my face looked disappointed.
The pustule didn't change at all, she just felt a little better.
The imperial doctor had already prescribed many such medicines to her.
The queen also noticed it and frowned unexpectedly.
This Spring Breeze Jade Dew Cream was given by the emperor. She has been using it, and the effect is extraordinary. Why did it have no effect at all on Chu Rui's face?
What kind of poison did Xie Yao give Chu Rui to make it so powerful!
