Chapter 176 Rou Chang is "disfigured"
In Yiku Palace, Concubine Duan brought Wen Yi to Nian Shilan to chat.
"I heard that the Queen has been doing a lot of things behind the scenes since the incident with Concubine Xi. How come you are so calm this time? This is really unlike you."
After having Wen Yi, Concubine Duan's health gradually improved. She would go out for a walk from time to time, and now her relationship with Nian Shilan and others is getting closer and closer.
"How do you know I didn't do anything?"
Nian Shilan glanced at Concubine Duan with a smile, and the expression on her face was very intriguing.
"Was the previous Lan promise yours?"
At that time, people in the palace were saying that Zhen Huan was dissatisfied with the emperor's handling of the matter and secretly taught Lan a lesson. However, no one expected that Lan was so worried and afraid that she actually became mad.
It’s no wonder that others directly targeted Zhen Huan. The timing of this incident was just too coincidental, and Zhen Huan didn’t give much explanation for it.
In fact, Nian Shilan had discussed all of this with Zhen Huan in private, of course, after this incident happened. As the noble concubine Hua, she was responsible for her own actions, so how could she let Zhen Huan take the blame? But when she had this idea, she was rejected by Zhen Huan at once, and the reason Zhen Huan gave was extremely casual.
To use the original words that Zhen Huan said to herself: It doesn't matter who did it, the important thing is that the result is what she likes. As for what the Queen thinks, she doesn't care at all. In the eyes of the Queen, she has long been her biggest obstacle. So it's better to let her be jealous like this. Anyway, she will not let the Queen have peace in the future.
Zhen Huan's words made Nian Shilan smile knowingly. Yes, she liked this personality. No wonder she was becoming more and more willing to get close to Zhen Huan. It was really because what she said and did was becoming more and more to her liking.
"you guess?"
Nian Shilan glanced at Concubine Duan and did not give a clear answer. Concubine Duan was just asking casually. It didn't matter who did it. She didn't care. As long as she could get rid of the people around the queen one by one, she would think it was a good thing.
"That Rou Chang is here, is that all?"
At the beginning, the Queen blamed all the problems on the already foolish Lan Concubine, and Rou Changzai was only charged with the crime of improper discipline and fined for three months. This punishment was just for show.
"She's probably busy with her precious face right now."
It was indeed as Nian Shilan said. At this time in Chuxiu Palace, Rou Chang was so angry that she smashed everything in front of the dressing table, and the whole room was in a mess.
"They are all useless. It's been so long, why is there no effect on my face? Where's the imperial physician you asked to invite? Are they dead? It's been so long since the imperial physician came, and you didn't even bother to urge him."
She didn't know what happened. She was fine before going to bed. After waking up one night, she just felt a little itchy on her face, so she scratched it slightly with her hand. It was not until the maid came to help her dress up that she saw it and was startled. She realized something was wrong and immediately ran to the dressing table to look in the mirror.
Unconsciously, many red pimples appeared on her face, some of which even had transparent blisters on them. How could Rou Changzai accept the disfigurement of her face?
She knew very well that the reason she could gain the emperor's favor was not only because of her disguised personality that pleased the emperor, but also because her face caught the emperor's eye. If her face was ruined, what place would she have in this palace?
But she didn't know whether the imperial physician's medical skills were not good enough or he deliberately refused to treat her. After such a long time, there was still no improvement on her face. She was afraid that the emperor would see her face, so she had to claim illness to the emperor.
"What happened to her face? Is it disfigured?"
When Concubine Duan heard what Nian Shilan said, her curiosity was aroused. Which concubine in the harem treasured her face very much? How could this Concubine Rou disfigure herself?
"Maybe she did too many bad things, and God couldn't stand it anymore, so he gave her a punishment."
Nian Shilan said this without thinking.
She admitted that she was not a magnanimous person. This Rou Chang had been doing small things behind her back many times, and this time she was even more cruel. Even if the queen was the mastermind behind it, she was not innocent. The queen wanted to protect her, but she just didn't do what she wanted.
This medicine was obtained with great difficulty and cost her a lot of money. Now it is used on Concubine Rou's face. She should feel very honored.
Nian Shilan took two pieces of dessert from the plate beside her and gave them to Wen Yi and Shuhe who were running over hand in hand.
"Be good, run slowly, don't fall."
Nian Shilan was very happy to see Wen Yi's well-behaved appearance. Although her biological mother Cao Qinmo had done many things that were not good for her, the child was innocent, and she never blamed the grudges between adults on the child.
"Now I see how you become more and more gentle. It's true that children can make people softer."
Concubine Duan looked at Nian Shilan's expression and said with emotion, "Who would have thought that the arrogant and domineering Concubine Hua would become such a gentle and virtuous Concubine Hua."
"Look at what you said. There are so many unexpected things. In the past few years, you would never have thought that one day we would be able to sit together and chat and drink tea in peace like this."
"Yes, things are unpredictable. Who can predict the future?"
Concubine Duan glanced at Wen Yi and Shuhe who were playing together not far away, her eyes full of agreement with what Nian Shilan said.
"Sister Duan Fei is here today too. It seems like my arrival is quite coincidental."
Just then, Chen Meizhuang and Jinghe also came over.
These children have been together for the past few years and have a very deep relationship. Just after finishing their meal, Jinghe was already nagging Chen Meizhuang to take her to play with Shuhe.
After asking the maid to take Jinghe to the child, Shen Meizhuang walked towards Concubine Hua and Concubine Duan with a smile.
"Sister, why did you come here alone? Why didn't you come with Sister Huan today?"
In order to help Zhen Huan relax, these few people would get together from time to time to chat with her these days. Chen Meizhuang would even go to Yiku Palace every day to take Zhen Huan out.
"I just got the news that Yuyan went into labor. I estimate she might have given birth by now. Huan'er left the palace immediately after receiving the news."
A few days ago, Zhen Huan asked the emperor for mercy, wanting to be with Yuyan when she gave birth. I don't know if the emperor felt guilty towards her because of what happened before, but after hearing Zhen Huan's request, he immediately agreed, and even allowed her to take this opportunity to return to the Zhen Mansion to visit the two elders.
"Oh, yes, judging by my memory, Yuyan's due date is indeed within these two days."
"I wonder how Yuyan is doing now?"
"With Doctor Wen watching over her, she will be safe."
Although Yuyan was Zhen Huan's maid before, they knew very well that Zhen Huan treated her differently, so they treated Yuyan sincerely.
"Yes, we will all be safe and sound from now on."
