Chapter 69 Asking for Ointment

Lian Fei glared at Xu Lanshan with even more resentment and humiliation! This bitch was deliberately embarrassing her and deliberately going against her!

"you--"

"Empress Lian!" Nanny Xi came in with tea and said with a smile, "Empress, calm down. Since Concubine Bai has admitted her mistake, please forgive her this time. You are so magnanimous, why bother with such a grudge?"

No matter what, Concubine Bai knelt down. Her master had to make trouble when he was unhappy. If she didn't make trouble for Concubine Bai, the servants who served her would be in trouble. So she had better make trouble for Concubine Bai. Anyway, no one could make the decision for her.

But Chen Ronghua is different. Chen Ronghua is already highly valued by the emperor. In addition, she saved the emperor a few days ago. The emperor treats her as his most beloved daughter. If she gets hurt while kneeling and the emperor finds out and asks about it while accompanying the emperor, her master will suffer. Why bother?

Concubine Rou also smiled and said, "Madam Xi is right. Your Majesty, please forgive them this time! Lady Bai, why don't you admit your mistake now?"

Lady Bai: "It's all my fault. I won't dare to do it again."

Concubine Lian sneered.

Nanny Xi smiled and quickly ordered someone to help Concubine Bai and Chen Ronghua up.

Concubine Lian pursed her lips and did not stop him.

Xu Lanshan spat in her heart, he was just a bully who only bullied the weak and feared the strong.

If I can't completely defeat Concubine Lian, I must not fall out of favor. Otherwise, who knows how Concubine Lian will retaliate crazily!

As expected, once the fight for favor begins, it will only get more intense and there's no way to stop it midway...

Xu Lanshan suddenly felt like Alexander, and her fighting spirit was also high.

"I will no longer be a nuisance to Her Majesty the Concubine Lian. I will take my leave!"

"I, the concubine, shall also take my leave."

Xu Lanshan left with Concubine Bai.

Concubine Lian glared angrily.

Seeing this, Concubine Rou and Concubine Deng also said goodbye after a while.

Concubine Lian was furious. She swept her sleeves over the teacup and teapot and cursed, "Every one of them is against me! They don't even take me seriously! One day I will kill them all!"

Aunt Xi sighed inwardly and tried to persuade her earnestly.

Xu Lanshan accompanied Concubine Bai back to Qiuyuexuan.

"It's me who has implicated Sister Bai."

Seeing the dark purple bruises on both sides of Bai Guiren's knees caused by blood, Xu Lanshan felt a little guilty.

Concubine Bai laughed and shook her head. "Sister, please stop talking like that. What does this have to do with you? Besides, I was the one who spoke to you first!"

Xu Lanshan couldn't help but laugh: "Sister Bai's words make it even more difficult for me to get over it."

Noble Lady Bai also laughed: "It's really nothing. I'm a noble lady after all. Concubine Lian won't really do anything to me."

At most, she'd just vent her anger on her like this, and she wouldn't even do anything public. After all, she wasn't favored, so how much pleasure could Concubine Lian get from torturing her? Once or twice would be fine, but if it happened too often, word would inevitably spread. If the Emperor found out, she'd get a reputation for being vicious, which wouldn't be worth the loss.

Even if she didn't think of this, Nanny Xi would definitely remind her.

Xu Lanshan didn't know what to say for a moment. It was really hard to dislike someone like Concubine Bai who was so gentle and calm.

Xu Lanshan did not disturb her rest and went back after a while.

She called Yuchan and instructed, "Go to Wan'an Palace and quietly find Eunuch Dong Zhi. Ask him if he has any ointments or patches to reduce swelling, dissipate blood stasis, and relieve pain. If so, quietly ask him for some and send them to Noble Lady Bai."

She doesn't have it here, so if she did, she would send it to her directly.

Yu Chan agreed and was about to go when Yu Xing came in with tea. Seeing this, she smiled and said, "Sister Yu Chan, you must be tired after just accompanying Rong Hua. Why don't I go?"

Yu Chan frowned, suppressing her disgust and said, "Since Rong Hua has ordered me to go, I will go. It's not tiring at all."

Xu Lanshan glanced at Yuxing, then smiled and said, "Forget it, Yuxing, go ahead. Quietly, don't disturb the emperor!"

"Yes, Ronghua, don't worry!"

Yuxing glanced at Yuchan proudly and left happily.

Yu Chan stamped her feet in anger, "Rong Hua knew what she was thinking, so why did he give her this Qiao Zong'er? It's such a bargain for her!"

Xu Lanshan sneered slightly: "Since she is determined, I can't stop her no matter what I do, let her go!"

Her outfit looked quite familiar. Wasn't it exactly how she dressed as a palace maid, running to the Wan'an Hall to serve the Emperor with writing materials and pouring tea? She was so attentive, why should she stop her?

When Yuxing came this time, the ointment was about to arrive, and the emperor also came with her.

"What happened to Lan'er? Why is he injured? Let me take a look!"

Xu Lanshan hurried forward to greet him, and before she could even salute, she asked Emperor Yuan Yong to support him with both hands, "If you're injured, just behave yourself, why are you so nagging!"

Xu Lanshan smiled sweetly, took his arm and said softly, "Your Majesty, I am not injured. It's all because of Yuxing's ignorance. I repeatedly warned you not to disturb Your Majesty, but you found out! Why don't you leave now!"

Yu Xing felt wronged: "Yes..."

She cherished every opportunity to go to Wan'an Hall. How could she not let the emperor see her? She was clearly dressed like Rong Hua, but the emperor seemed to have not noticed at all. The first thing he asked about was Rong Hua.

Emperor Yuan Yong looked at Xu Lanshan with doubt.

Xu Lanshan burst out laughing, "Your Majesty, if I were injured, I would be eager to let Your Majesty know so that Your Majesty would feel sorry for me! It was Sister Bai who was injured, and I asked for medicine for Sister Bai."

"Sister Bai?" Emperor Yuan Yong couldn't remember who it was at once.

Xu Lanshan's mood was complicated. She was actually a bit petty, not much better than Concubine Lian, hoping that the emperor would only remember her and not others. However, he couldn't even remember who Concubine Bai was, which seemed too cold.

But who told him he was the emperor? Even if he was cold and indifferent, it was only natural.

"It's Noble Lady Bai!"

"Her," Emperor Yuan Yong suddenly realized, pulled Xu Lanshan to sit down, thought for a moment, and then asked, "What's going on?"

It’s impossible that Lady Bai accidentally fell while walking, right?

Xu Lanshan had no choice but to tell the truth, but she didn't mention the kneeling. There was no need to play the victim, because it wasn't miserable enough, and it would be meaningless. Anyway, if he wanted to know, he could naturally ask someone to find out.

Emperor Yuan Yong was not surprised and sneered, "She really never stops for a moment!"

The emperor was too lazy to say that he had disliked Concubine Lian since he was a child.

When she was little, she often went to the palace to pay her respects to her mother, and would stay with her from time to time. She liked to pester him whenever she had something to do, but he really hated her. She hated her attitude, as if he was her property and she had the right to interfere in all his affairs.

Emperor Yuan Yong ordered Dong Zhi, "Send someone to deliver the ointment to Lady Bai."

Emperor Yuan Yong felt a bit of a headache. The person before him was also a worry. "Stay away from Concubine Lian from now on, okay? If she sends someone to summon you, go find the Queen."

With his words, the Queen would naturally take care of it.
