Chapter 77 Treat her as before
at the same time.
Zhaoyuan Palace.
The furnishings in the main hall weren't extravagant or luxurious, but rather exuded a refined elegance. A wisp of white mist rose from a bronze censer with a lotus pattern, a sweet fragrance lingering in the air.
Xie Chen concentrated and applied the medicine personally.
Concubine Shen Liang was leaning on the couch. Even though she felt a sharp pain in her arm, she did not cry out in pain. Instead, she looked at Xie Chen with affection in her eyes.
"Why does the Emperor look as if he is facing a great enemy?"
"You're seriously injured." Xie Chen continued to move his hands: "If it hurts, scream it out, don't hold it in."
Concubine Shen Liang whispered: "As long as I can see the emperor, I am willing to do so even if I am in pain every day."
Xie Chen paused, and looked up helplessly: "Yuyao, stop talking nonsense."
Concubine Shen Liang's eyes were filled with tears as she grabbed Xie Chen's clothes and said, "I am not talking nonsense. I have been staying indoors for over a year and I really miss the emperor so much. I think about him every day and night. I also reflect on myself every day and wish I could go back to that day and stop my impulsive self."
Xie was silent for a long time.
"Everything that happened in the past is in the past. Yuyao, don't think about it anymore."
Concubine Shen Liang burst into tears: "Okay, I don't want to think about it anymore. From now on, I will only think about my future with the emperor."
She wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
Xie Chen gently applied the ointment to her. "Use this burn ointment today. I'll have the Imperial Hospital prescribe the best medicine tomorrow. I won't leave you with any scars."
Concubine Shen Liang smiled and agreed: "Okay."
After applying the medicine, Xie Chen carried her into the bedroom and pulled the quilt over her. "You were frightened tonight. Get some rest. I'll watch you sleep before I leave."
Concubine Shen Liang's beautiful face was filled with disappointment: "Isn't the emperor going to rest here?"
Xie Chen's face was filled with complex emotions, and his words were concise, but both of them knew what was going on: "Yuyao, too much pampering is not a good thing. You and I must exercise restraint from now on."
For example, all the things that happened in the past were caused by excessive favor.
Concubine Shen Liang forced a smile: "I understand. As long as the emperor has me in his heart, even if we can't see each other every day, I will be satisfied."
Xie Chen nodded.
Concubine Shen Liang's face was half hidden behind the brocade quilt. She cautiously probed: "I heard that the emperor has recently favored a concubine named Pei. I just saw a new sister with a beautiful appearance. Is she this concubine Pei?"
Xie Chen lowered his eyes: "It's her."
Concubine Shen Liang bit her lower lip and said, "The emperor has another beautiful woman. How much room is left for Yuyao in his heart?"
Xie Chen said in a gentle voice, "You're still daydreaming even though you live in Zhaoyuan Palace?"
Concubine Shen Liang looked at him stubbornly.
Xie Chen had no choice but to say, "Yuyao, you are so smart, can't you understand?"
Concubine Shen Liang was shocked: "Could it be..."
It's really a shield for her!
A sweet feeling rose in her heart.
Xie Chen tucked the quilt in for her and interrupted, "As long as you know it in your heart, you don't have to worry about her."
Concubine Shen Liang finally felt relieved and fell asleep with her eyes closed.
Xie Chen sat beside the couch for a long time, until the person on the couch began to breathe steadily, then he quietly left.
No one noticed that when he turned around, his eyes and brows were particularly cold.
After leaving the Zhaoyuan Palace and passing through the Bixiao Palace, Xie Chen heard the woman sobbing.
In the silent night, the sound was particularly obvious.
He ordered the car to stop, stepped out of the dragon chariot and asked, "What's going on?"
Concubine Qin quickly knelt before him: "Your Majesty, the Empress has punished me by making me kneel here..."
She only said that she was punished, but did not say why she was punished.
Xie Chenyuan didn't want to ask because he was the one who informed the Queen to punish her.
But when it comes to the feelings on the surface, you have to get over it. He pointed at a young eunuch and said, "You tell me."
The young eunuch dared not hide anything and explained in detail what had just happened in the side hall of Yichun Palace.
After hearing this, Xie Chen's aura became even gloomier.
"You dare to be so presumptuous in front of the Queen, you should be taught a lesson. If you dare to criticize Concubine Pei today, then tomorrow you should criticize Concubine Liang? Then you will dare to control me one day."
Qin Jieyu shrank back guiltily and didn't dare to answer.
Her aunt didn't let her touch Concubine Pei, but she didn't say she couldn't touch Concubine Shen Liang either.
She had originally planned to provoke Concubine Shen Liang when she paid her respects in the future.
Throwing down a sentence "Kneel down", Xie Chen got back on the dragon chariot.
On the way back to the palace, he thought of what the young eunuch had just said, that the woman had been wronged, and he sighed slightly.
If Liang Yao were here, he would definitely be able to figure out his thoughts, ask the palace servants to stop, and then ask Xie Chen whether he wanted to go to Changle Palace.
Unfortunately, Liang Yao is not on duty today, so no one can guess the emperor's thoughts.

The other side.
Concubine Shen Liang, who should have been fast asleep, slowly woke up. She removed the gauze wrapped around her arm expressionlessly and asked someone to bring her some clean water.
She splashed clean water on her arm and washed the ointment down with it. When the piercing water flowed over the wound, Concubine Shen Liang gasped in pain.
"hiss."
Yuling quietly closed the bedroom door and said distressedly, "Your Majesty, why are you doing this? Judging from what I've seen tonight, the Emperor still loves you and misses you. Why hurt yourself again?"
Concubine Shen Liang had a layer of cold sweat on her fair forehead: "It's not enough. Although the emperor still has me in his heart, we can't see each other every day like before. I have to think of a way to make the emperor always think of me. The best way is to keep the wound from healing."
Yuling was helpless and could only watch as Concubine Shen Liang washed off the ointment bit by bit. Afterwards, Yuling wiped the water droplets from Concubine Shen Liang's wound with a dry towel and then covered the wound with gauze again.
After doing all this, Yuling squatted in front of the couch and whispered, "Your Majesty, you can rest assured now. Since you appeared, the Emperor has never even looked at Concubine Pei. Those times when the Emperor bestowed many titles on the six harems for her and that he was truly devoted to her, you were worrying too much. What's more, the Emperor himself admitted that she was just a shield for you."
Concubine Shen Liang rubbed her brows and said, "Could it be that I am really overthinking..."
Recalling that face, she was a little frightened.
She had long heard of the beauty of Concubine Pei, but she still couldn't help but feel breathless when she saw her incredibly beautiful face.
She thought she was the most beautiful woman in the harem, but she was defeated by that man's beauty and charm.
Yuling comforted her: "Besides, she is just pretty. She can't compare to the years of friendship between you and the Emperor. Your Majesty, please don't worry."
Concubine Shen Liang exhaled lightly: "Forget it, we will see the outcome in the future."
