Seeing this scene, Feng Wanwan's heart moved and she couldn't help but sigh.
I've always said that my mother was the kindest and most innocent girl in the world. She didn't touch the incense that would end her family lineage, nor did she let Suzhi touch it, fearing it might harm her. She even forbade other palace maids to clean it, only letting the eunuchs who wouldn't be affected do so. She was truly kind and considerate.
If it weren't for Concubine Ping causing my mother to lose her child, and if it weren't for Yi Huanxiang causing my mother to never conceive again, my mother wouldn't have lost her mindset, her personality would have become increasingly extreme, and she wouldn't have earned the nickname "The Fiery Beauty."
[Ultimately, it's still the Big Pig's Hoof's fault. Oh, that's not right. The original book says that the incense was given by the Big Pig's Hoof, but now the plot says that the Yihuan incense was given by the Queen Mother. What's going on?]
[So, who was behind the dirty stuff in Yi Huan Xiang? Was the pig's hoof involved?]
Feng Wanwan fell into deep thought again, her mind filled with doubts and uncertainty.
Hua Fei breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her baby was stopped from buying the sound transmission talisman. Then she calmed herself down and pulled Su Zhi aside.
"Wash your hands quickly with water and use my soap."
He shouted again.
"Zhu Yinghuai, come in and pick up the things on the floor and throw them out! Clean up the inside and outside of the hall, ventilate the whole room, and throw out this small incense burner as well!"
"Yes, Master!"
Suzhi was rushed to wash her hands. Zhu Yinghuai came in with two young eunuchs and cleaned up the scattered spice boxes on the ground, as well as the small incense burner that Hua Fei had been holding in her palm.
Although this Yihuan incense is poisonous, it does smell pleasant. The floral scent is mixed with fruity aroma, and the rich aftertaste is refreshing. If Feng Wanwan had not known that this Yihuan incense was poisonous, she would have no way of realizing that it contained such a fierce poison.
Zhu Yinghuai bowed and took the small incense burner from Hua Fei's hand, frowned and looked around, and made a suggestion in a low voice.
"My dear, this Yi Huan fragrance is very strong, and you have been using it for half a day. The fragrance will not dissipate for a while. Moreover, the night wind is cold, and you are still in confinement. If you get a headache from the cold, it will be bad.
Otherwise, I'd like to trouble you to move to a side hall. The bedroom will be empty for the next two days. You can move back when the fragrance has faded. Is this okay with you, Master?"
"Yeah, that's fine."
Hua Fei thought about it for a moment and agreed.
Feng Wanwan, who was lost in thought, raised her eyebrows when she heard these words and turned to look over.
I saw a handsome young man in eunuch's clothes, bending over and looking earnestly at his mother, his eyes full of worry.
[Oh my, I never expected that my mother's second confidant in the original book would be such a young and handsome boy!]
Zhu Yinghuai was also incredibly loyal to my mother. I remember when she was in dire straits, everyone else either stayed away or defected, but Suzhi and he stayed by her side, doing their utmost to help her escape. His loyalty was unwavering.
Unfortunately, my mother was murdered by the heroine, leaving her heart broken and losing her will to fight. She rammed her head against the wall of the cold palace and died. Suzhi, unwilling to live alone, rammed herself to death in front of her mother's coffin. Meanwhile, Zhu Yinghuai hid in the cold palace, lying dormant for several years, and finally killed the woman who betrayed my mother the most.
[Unfortunately, Zhu Yinghuai tried to murder the heroine using the same method, but was discovered and caught by the heroine. In the end, he was doused with cold water and left in the snow, where he froze to death that snowy night. It can be said that his end was very tragic.]
[Alas, when I was reading the book, I just felt that Zhu Yinghuai was disgusting. He was the vicious dog beside the main villain, evil and difficult to kill. The villain had been dead for so long, but he was still around. When he was finally killed on that winter night, I felt a sense of relief. It was a relief, but also a kind of indescribable sympathy. After all, such a loyal dog, it would have been great if he had been placed by the heroine's side. It's a pity that he followed the wrong person and did so many bad things.]
But now that I've seen Master Zhu Yinghuai, all I can feel is heartache. He was such a handsome and loyal wolfdog. Such a handsome young man, frozen to death on a winter night... Who could have the heart to do that?!
[Alright, big wolfdog, since you're so loyal to my mother, I'll take you with me when she leaves the palace. You can be my mother's helper in the future, so just help... just help my mother select young handsome men. At the very least, the quality can't be lower than yours!]
After listening to Feng Wanwan's heartfelt words, which were full of information, Hua Fei looked at Zhu Yinghuai with a more complicated look.
She stared at Zhu Yinghuai's deeply bent waist, the arm that was raised above his head and presented in front of her waiting for her to support him. Finally, she gently placed her hand on that arm, and then stood up with the strength of that arm.
His eyes fell on the leg that he had been limping for years, and he suddenly spoke.
"Ye Tianshi, the new doctor at the Imperial Hospital, is a skilled doctor. I heard he's known among the people as someone who can bring the dead back to life. If he's free someday, let him take a look at your legs."
"Master... there's no need to bother the imperial physician. My leg won't heal. But don't worry, I won't miss my mission."
When the master suddenly mentioned his old illness, Zhu Yinghuai's heart trembled and he quickly expressed his opinion.
Last year he injured his leg and became disabled, but what he cared about was not that he became disabled at such a high-spirited age, but that he was useless and could not serve his master better.
Now that his master suddenly mentioned his disability, Zhu Yinghuai was worried that his master would worry about him, and secondly, he was afraid that he would delay his mission.
Hua Fei frowned, and a wave of emotion flashed in her beautiful eyes. She lowered her eyelids, and her thick, black eyelashes like crow feathers covered the turbulent waves in her eyes, but her tone was tinged with a hint of impatience.
"What's the trouble? The Yikun Palace is the most favored place in the palace. No one would dare to criticize us even if we summoned the imperial physician three times a day, let alone once. As the chief steward of the Yikun Palace, why are you so embarrassed? It's unbelievable and has lost the dignity of our Yikun Palace!"
"I dare not!" Zhu Yinghuai quickly admitted his mistake.
"If the master wants you to take a look, then take a look. Once your leg is healed, you can serve the master better, right?"
Suzhi had already washed her hands and hurried over to hug Feng Wanwan in Hua Fei's arms, while glancing at Zhu Yinghuai.
Feng Wanwan nodded her head repeatedly upon hearing this.
[That's exactly the truth. Sharpening the knife doesn't delay the chopping of wood. Health is the capital. Only after my lameness is healed can I better serve my mother and be a loyal, strong and powerful dog!]
[Bite to death all those bad guys who hurt my mother! ]
Zhu Yinghuai immediately nodded in agreement.
"Thank you for your grace, Master. I will obey your instructions. I will follow Doctor Ye's orders and serve you well once my leg is healed!"
There was a tremor and a hint of nasality in his voice, and as he spoke, he bent his legs and was about to kneel again.
But Hua Fei grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.
