Xiao Xixi transmigrated back to ancient times and became one of the Crown Prince's concubines.
This should have been the beginning of a palace struggle, but all she wanted was to be a ...

Chapter 895: Knowing the Truth Is Worth a Lot of Money
Waited until the fourth day.
Chen Jieyu unexpectedly discovered that her cheeks had turned red again!
She looked at herself in the mirror and her whole face was red, as if someone had smeared a thick layer of red rouge on her. It was very scary!
Then her face began to itch, much more itchy than at the beginning.
She couldn't help scratching her face and accidentally scratched her cheek.
Rouju and another palace maid quickly grabbed her hands to prevent her from scratching her face.
Soon the imperial physician arrived upon hearing the news.
When the imperial physician saw Concubine Chen's face, he was immediately shocked.
"Why, your face is like this?"
Chen Jieyu was furious: "I should be the one asking you this. Didn't you say my face would be healed in three or four days? Why is it that my face has not only not healed, but has become worse?"
The imperial physician examined her carefully and had an idea of what was going on.
He quickly wrote down a prescription and handed it over with both hands.
"You must have used something on your face that you shouldn't have used. I don't know what it was. Anyway, please take the medicine according to this prescription for three days. If it doesn't get better, I'll find another way for you."
After saying this, he carried the medicine box and left.
He had been an imperial physician for so many years that he had become accustomed to some of the shady tactics in the palace.
The reason why Concubine Chen's face became like this was most likely because she was harmed by someone.
The imperial physician didn't want to meddle in other people's business.
He only does his job, and the rest has nothing to do with him.
In this palace, if you want to live long, the most important thing is to talk less and do more, and don't meddle in other people's business.
Chen Jieyu was not so stupid as to be beyond redemption. She also knew that she was being framed by someone.
She immediately asked someone to take out all the things she had used in the past two days and check them one by one.
It was finally discovered that the ointment she used to apply on her face had been tampered with.
The plaster contained an additional medicinal ingredient that could cause skin itching and ulceration.
Concubine Chen wants to find out who did it?
She started by checking the people around her, but no matter how hard she checked, she couldn't find out the truth.
Instead, it made the people who served her feel resentful and gradually alienated from her.
Concubine Chen was unwilling to suffer this loss.
She wanted to ask the emperor to make a decision for her, but was told that the emperor had gone to Linyuan to escape the summer heat and was not in the palace.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Then go ask the Imperial Concubine. She is in charge of the palace affairs. Now that I have been harmed, she should seek justice for me!"
Rouju said cautiously, "The Imperial Concubine has accompanied the Emperor to Shanglin Garden and is not in the palace."
In the past few days, Concubine Chen has been staying in Ningxin Palace, not daring to go out for fear of getting sunburned again. She has no idea what is happening outside. Unexpectedly, the emperor and the imperial concubine have left the palace to escape the summer heat.
Concubine Chen could only settle for the next best thing: "Then go find Concubine Jing... No, Concubine Jing is gone. Then go find Concubine Li, but that won't work either, Concubine Li has already left the palace. As for Concubine Tuberculosis... Forget it, just pretend I never mentioned her."
She had not paid attention to it at other times, but when she thought about it carefully, she realized that the high-ranking concubines in the palace had either died, passed away, or were sick, and unexpectedly, only one imperial concubine was still safe and sound.
There is actually a kind of terrifying feeling when I think about it carefully.
Chen Jieyu didn't dare to think too deeply about it.
She asked, "Who is in charge of the palace now?"
Rouju: "It's Concubine Min and Concubine Yao."
Concubine Chen curled her lips, obviously looking down on these two people.
In terms of qualifications and background, these two are not as good as her.
If she had not been demoted, she would now be the concubine second only to the Imperial Concubine in the harem. Concubine Min and Concubine Yao would have to bow respectfully when seeing her, and she might even be qualified to be in charge of palace affairs.
When she thought of this, Concubine Chen became more annoyed.
If she had known this, she should not have been so bewildered as to act like a demon in front of the emperor!
However, knowing it earlier is priceless.
Now that things have come to this, no matter how much she regrets, it will be of no use.
She could only ask Concubine Min and Concubine Yao to come over and ask them to help investigate who was secretly plotting to murder her.
When she met Concubine Min, Concubine Chen felt very uncomfortable.
When Concubine Min was still a talented woman, she lived in the side hall of Ningxin Palace and was a neighbor of Chen Wanyi. She was bullied by Chen Wanyi so badly that she almost lost her life.
Now, only half a year has passed, and Su Cairen has become Concubine Min, while Chen Wanyi has become Concubine Chen.
The gap between the two has been narrowed.
Now, Concubine Chen can no longer bully Concubine Min as she did before, and she even has to ask Concubine Min to help her get justice.
Concubine Chen thought that Concubine Min would take the opportunity to make things difficult for her.
However, Concubine Min seemed to have completely forgotten the past grudges and had no intention of making things difficult for her. She maintained a businesslike attitude from beginning to end and no one could find any fault with her.
This made Concubine Chen secretly relieved.
Concubine Min and Concubine Yao investigated the matter together.
The investigation took ten days.
Still no result was found.
On the contrary, the symptoms on Concubine Chen's face became more and more serious.
She took a lot of medicine, but to no avail.
Several imperial physicians were replaced, but it was still useless.
…
Compared to the imperial palace, Shanglin Garden is indeed much cooler. Xiao Xixi can sleep comfortably at night without being woken up by the heat.
She said she liked this place very much and would come here every summer to escape the heat.
Luo Qinghan still has to deal with a lot of government affairs every day.
Countless memorials were transported from the cabinet to the palace and presented before the emperor.
While he was busy working, Xiao Xixi was busy eating and drinking.
Occasionally, when he is not so busy, Luo Qinghan will take Xixi to the woods to hunt.
They brought the captured prey back to the palace, cooked it into dishes, and ate it happily with oil dripping from their mouths.
In the blink of an eye, it was Xiao Xixi's birthday.
Luo Qinghan deliberately dropped all his things today and just accompanied Xixi to eat, drink and have fun.
When it was evening, he cooked a bowl of longevity noodles for Xixi as usual.
Perhaps because of his increased experience in cooking noodles, his skills have improved a lot. He even knows how to cook noodles in chicken soup, and the noodles in the soup are very fragrant.
Xiao Xixi not only finished the noodles, but also finished the soup.
She gave Luo Qinghan a thumbs up.
"I like your cooking skills!"
Luo Qinghan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a very faint smile.
Xiao Xixi quickly put her thumb away, then spread out her palm and stretched it in front of him.
"Where's my birthday present?"
Luo Qinghan clapped his hands twice.
Soon, Eunuch Chang came in, holding a bamboo cage in his hand.
He put the cage on the ground, opened the small door, and a fat orange cat came out.
It meowed twice first, then jumped onto Xixi's legs as if it was familiar with the place, and then jumped onto the table.
It leaned over to look at Xixi's face, but found the bowl was empty. All the food had been eaten by Xixi, leaving no residue for it.
The orange cat meowed in dissatisfaction.
Xiao Xixi asked in surprise: "Is this the gift you gave me?"
Luo Qinghan nodded: "Yes."
Xiao Xixi: "Isn't it the fat cat in the imperial mausoleum?"
Luo Qinghan: "That's it."
…
Good morning everyone!
Orange cat: Humph, I’m not fat, I’m just fluffy!
……
Please, please give me a monthly ticket~~~
