Chapter 184 The Queen Gives Medicine
The next day, inside Jingren Palace.
"This concubine pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen, and wishes Her Majesty long and healthy life."
Rou Changzai had not gone out for a long time. She was very reluctant when she received the Queen's order from Jianqiu yesterday. She thought that her current condition was due to the Queen. Now the imperial physician has been treating her for such a long time but there is no improvement, and the Queen has not found a way to help her. Now the Queen must have ordered her to come over for other things.
"My lady, please think it over carefully. If you really don't want to go, I will go back and report to the Queen. However, I don't know if you can withstand the Queen's wrath by then."
Ever since the problem with her face occurred, she had politely declined the emperor's invitation several times. After that, the emperor never appeared in her Chuxiu Palace again, and his favor for her was like a flash in the pan, and never existed again.
There has never been a shortage of beautiful women in this palace. Even without her, there would still be many others. Moreover, she knew very well that the emperor himself was only attracted to her temporarily and had never been sincere to her.
After analyzing the current situation in her mind, Rou Chang called out to Jianqiu who was about to leave.
"Aunt, please wait a moment. Please go back and tell the Queen that I will go to Jingren Palace on time tomorrow to pay my respects to the Queen."
Jianqiu looked at her like this and smiled with satisfaction.
This is also the reason why Rou Changzai appears here now. Although her face is now completely ruined, she still feels unwilling in her heart and is unwilling to accept her fate.
"Rou Changzai, it's been a long time since we last met. You seem to be keeping quite still in your own palace. If I hadn't specially sent someone to invite you here, would you have stayed in your Chuxiu Palace forever?"
The queen looked at the person in front of her. She no longer had the beauty she once had. She was wrapped up tightly and even used a piece of gauze to brush her face.
Seeing her in such a state, the Queen didn't even know if it was the right decision to place her hopes on her, but now she couldn't afford to hesitate any longer. Seeing the Emperor's attitude towards Yana yesterday, the Queen had to make preparations early.
"Your Highness, you have seen how I am now. How can I go out? I have been to the palace so many times and have never suffered such humiliation. Moreover, I also heard that the princess of the Mongolian tribe came to the palace yesterday and seemed to be very pleased with the emperor. I am afraid that the emperor has long forgotten my existence."
Although Rou Changzai did not leave the palace on weekdays, she still had some understanding of what was happening in the palace. It was for this reason that she knew the purpose of the queen summoning her, probably for the princess who was said to be very similar to the former queen.
"I know you feel wronged, but especially at times like this, you must not lose your composure. I think you know exactly who has caused you to become like this. I believe that no matter what, you will not let this injustice go to waste."
The Queen never mentioned the instigator of this incident, and kept the topic involving Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan.
"And at yesterday's banquet, the new princess and Noble Concubine Hua got along very well. It's said that Princess Yana is very favored by her brother, the Dzungar Khan of Mongolia. If even she stands by Noble Concubine Hua, then this palace will probably become Nian Shilan's world. By then, just imagine what your situation will become."
The Queen's words could not be considered as a deliberate threat to Concubine Rou, as she really thought so in her heart.
"I know all that your majesty has said, but now that I am in this state, and the emperor hasn't summoned me for a long time, how can I fight for it?"
Rou Chang is an ambitious person. How could she be content with such a situation? But now she really has no other choice.
"I have a plaster here. I got it by chance a few years ago. It is said that it can restore the skin to its original state no matter what kind of injury it causes."
The queen signaled Jianqiu to take the object out of her mouth.
In fact, if the queen did not still need Rou Chang to help her, she would really be reluctant to take out such precious medicine. After all, she only had this small box in her hand.
"Really? It really has such miraculous effects?"
Rou Changzai took the box handed to her by Jianqiu and held it in her hands excitedly.
For such a long time, she suffered from the disfigurement and even dared not face the mirror when dressing, for fear of seeing her ugly self. She thought that the future would be like this, but she did not expect that there would be a moment of light at the end of the tunnel.
"I know you have a lot of unfinished business in your heart. Moreover, the emperor is very partial to Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan, and now there is Yana. If you don't fight for yourself, then I will have no other choice."
There is no doubt that Concubine Rou is scheming and cruel enough to herself and others. As long as she is given a chance, the Queen believes that she will not let her down.
"Thank you, Queen, for the medicine. I am deeply grateful. I will be loyal to you in the future."
The queen sat there and nodded with satisfaction, but only she herself knew how much trust he had in her heart.
In the next few days, Rou Changzai did not go out as usual. She applied medicine on time every day. Looking at her face in the mirror that was gradually returning to normal, her eyes finally revealed her previous calculations.
"Nian Shilan, Zhen Huan, you certainly didn't expect that I would ever recover. In the days ahead, just enjoy the happiness I give you."
At this time, Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan knew nothing about this. Because Yana often went to Yiku Palace to play, the sisterhood between them deepened a lot. However, they never relaxed their vigilance against the Queen.
"Sister Hua, this is the kite you mentioned. It is indeed very exquisite. I didn't expect that even in the palace, your life is so interesting."
Yana gently stroked the kite in her hand, and was very surprised by their daily life.
In fact, although she always appeared calm in front of her brother before entering the palace, she was actually afraid in her heart.
She was born and raised on the prairie, running freely in the vast sky and earth all day long. She felt anxious and uneasy when she thought that she would be trapped within the wall for the rest of her life.
But thinking of the hopes of her clansmen, she could not act willfully. This was her responsibility as a princess. Fortunately, after entering the palace, she met Concubine Hua, Concubine Xi and others, and life did not seem so difficult.
"Princess Zhao, don't worry. We are here to accompany you. If you feel bored in the future, you can come and find your sisters."
Zhaopin, also known as Princess Yana, was appointed as a concubine by the emperor on the second day after entering the palace and was given the title Zhao.
Nian Shilan could see the longing for her hometown in her eyes at a glance, but it was not easy to travel thousands of miles. Nian Shilan felt sorry for her situation, but all she could do was to accompany her at the right time.
"Okay, sister, don't worry about Yana. She is already very content with you by her side."
"Yes, we will always be there for each other."
Zhen Huan took them to play together. At this moment, everyone put aside their worries and just wanted to enjoy the fun of the moment.
