"Your Majesty, please forgive me for a few days. I will think of a solution." Doctor Wen was extremely anxious, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
Madam Shi stared at Doctor Wen with an unfriendly look. "Doctor Wen, our queen is waiting for your good news."
Doctor Wen said humbly, "I will definitely live up to your expectations."
After Doctor Wen left, Nanny Shi said angrily, "Madam, I have captured the maid who picked plum blossoms this morning. Please decide how to deal with her. It would be better to just kill her."
Concubine Zhen frowned and thought for a moment, "Wait, if we kill her directly, wouldn't that be exactly what the people behind the scenes want?"
"Send someone to check who she has been in contact with recently."
After Nanny Shi took the order and left, Concubine Zhen was left alone with her eyes lowered in thought.
In the Imperial Medical Bureau, Doctor Wen was extremely worried about Concubine Zhen and was walking back and forth.
Doctor Li saw that he looked so sad and asked curiously, "Doctor Wen, what happened?"
Doctor Wen glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he lowered his voice. "It's still Concubine Zhen's business. She asked me to come over this morning to heal her face."
"Why don't you just cure it?" Doctor Li said nonchalantly.
Doctor Wen frowned so hard that he could catch a mosquito. "It's not that easy. Her face was injured. It was obvious that someone else had done it. I don't know what kind of powder was added. I haven't found out."
Doctor Li patted Doctor Wen on the shoulder and comforted him: "Why don't we find a few more people and think of a solution."
This is the only way, and this matter cannot be spread out.
A day later, Nanny Shi found out that Xiaoling, the palace maid who was picking plum blossoms, had met with the palace maids of Kunning Palace in private.
Xiao Ling knelt aside, trembling with fear, not knowing why Nanny Shi called her over so late.
Madam Shi glanced at the woman kneeling on the ground, her eyes gleaming with ferocity, and her voice gloomy: "Do you know why I called you here?"
This cold voice made Xiao Ling's heart tremble, and she dared not look up. "Madam, I don't know."
"You are such a treacherous slave, how dare you collude with others to frame the queen." Nanny Shi slammed the table heavily, and it was obvious that she had a bad temper.
Xiao Ling was so frightened that she dared not even breathe. She begged bitterly, "Madam, please be clear, although I have a relationship with Qiu Ju, I would not dare to do anything to harm the queen even if I have ten thousand guts."
This Qiuju was none other than the palace maid of Kunning Palace.
"What did you say that day? Why don't you confess it all now?"
Things had come to this point, Xiao Ling did not dare to hide anything. "That day, Qiu Ju heard from me that the queen had been feeling uneasy recently, so she gave me a bunch of plum blossoms, saying that this special plum blossom had a calming effect."
"When I heard this, I thought this could help the Majesty, so I didn't think too much about it."
Little did she know that this was exactly the Queen's plan, and she was deliberately waiting for her to jump in.
Xiao Ling had just entered the palace and was naive by nature. She was easily taken advantage of by others, which led to a disaster.
Xiao Ling crawled to Concubine Zhen and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, please spare my life for the sake of my loyalty."
She hit her head so hard that it was broken and blood was flowing from her forehead, but she didn't dare to complain.
Zhenfei opened her eyes and stared at Xiaoling. This strong gaze made people's scalp tingle.
"Do you know how precious my face is? I don't even dare to go out now. What do you think I should do about this?"
During these two days, Zhenfei did not go anywhere except to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager.
When I go out, I wear a mask for fear of scaring others and even more for fear of losing face.
Xiao Ling was too timid to answer.
After receiving Zhen Fei's signal, Madam Shi said to Xiao Ling: "Since you have made friends with that palace maid, you should thank her."
Xiao Ling didn't understand what was said, but she had no choice but to agree.
At least she saved her life.
"Thank you, Madam, for sparing my life."
After a while, Nanny Shi took out a bottle with some medicine powder in it.
"Find a way to give this to that maid, so that the Queen can also experience the pain that our Queen is in. Remember, don't let the other party suspect us."
Aunt Shi gave me an expression that said you know what I am doing.
Xiao Ling pretended to be calm and took the bottle. "Yes, I obey your command. Even if you expose me, you will not expose our queen."
After receiving the order to retreat, Xiao Ling said, "I'll take my leave." She retreated immediately.
Nanny Shi stood aside with her head bowed. Seeing that Zhen Fei was still frowning, she thought she was afraid that the plan would fail.
"Your Highness, don't worry. In my opinion, this time the Queen will definitely suffer."
"If that doesn't work, I have another plan."
"Oh~" Hearing this, Zhen Fei's face lit up. "Tell me about it."
Nanny Shi whispered the plan to Concubine Zhen, and the two looked at each other and smiled strangely.
The next day, Wan Fei called Mu Nanyan to get up by the bed.
"Yan'er, your grandmother said that she hasn't seen you for a long time. You should accompany your mother to the Cining Palace." The late concubine pinched Mu Nanyan's face.
The baby's face is indeed much better than theirs, so smooth and tender.
Mu Nanyan struggled on the bed for a long time, but finally agreed to Wan Fei's proposal.
It’s winter and the last thing she wants to do is get up early, but she hasn’t seen the Queen Mother for a long time and she misses her a little.
It just so happened that she had made some progress in her cultivation recently, and Mu Nanyan was in a very good mood.
The concubine dressed Mu Nanyan in a thick snow satin brocade dress. With this dress, Mu Nanyan looked like a lucky doll, smart and cute.
"Okay, our Yan'er won't get cold if she wears it like this." Wan Fei nodded with satisfaction.
Riding on a sedan chair, half an hour later, the late concubine and Mu Nanyan finally arrived at the Cining Palace.
The Queen had just left, so they didn't meet each other, but they did meet Concubine Zhen who had just arrived.
After paying their respects to the Queen Mother, they chatted with her.
The Empress Dowager's eyes fell on Concubine Zhen and she was somewhat curious about her outfit.
Normally, Concubine Zhen would coax the Empress Dowager, but today she just sat aside and listened to the chat between Concubine Wan and the Empress Dowager.
"Is Concubine Zhen feeling unwell today? If you are not feeling well, you can leave earlier and don't have to accompany an old woman like me."
The Queen Mother was very considerate of the concubines in the harem. She herself had been deep in the harem for so many years and she knew very well that the concubines' lives were not easy.
Concubine Zhen stood up and bowed, "Replying to the Queen Mother, there is a small problem with my face. I dare not disturb the Queen Mother."
"What did the imperial physician say?" the Queen Mother asked with concern.
"The imperial physician has no solution for now, and I'm still waiting for his news." Concubine Zhen lowered her eyes, her tone somewhat helpless.
She didn't dare tell the Queen Mother that it was the Queen who did it on her face, so as to avoid causing the Queen Mother to worry.
"But please rest assured, Your Majesty. I believe the imperial physician will be able to cure it."
"That's good." After hearing this, the Queen Mother stopped asking questions.
[Whether there are scars or acne on her face, I can help her treat it]
She can use her spiritual power to solve this problem in a few minutes.
However, she didn't dare to show off her strength in front of others.
The most important thing in life is to be low-key.
