When entering the Royal Gardens, the women were searched to ensure they did not carry knives or poison.
Therefore, no one suspected that the group of noble ladies had been given itching powder by Lu Qiqi.
After all, no one knew that Lu Qiqi had a spatial ability that allowed her to take things out of her space anytime, anywhere.
Before long, the head maid returned. This time, she made no attempt to hide her presence and approached the Empress Dowager to speak.
The head palace maid said, "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the women in each household are experiencing unbearable itching, and it's all in private areas."
These women were still in their chambers, and the imperial physicians, unable to examine the affected areas and unsure of the cause, were hesitant to write a prescription or dispense the medicine.
Even married women were absolutely forbidden from undressing in front of the imperial physician.
The Empress Dowager had lived most of her life and, although she had never participated in palace intrigue, she still knew a thing or two about it.
Those noble ladies who were itchy all over were the ones who were making things difficult for Lu Qiqi and her sister under the pavilion.
Without much thought, one can guess that Lu Qiqi must have played a part in this matter.
However, this girl did it so discreetly that no one else noticed, which shows she has some skill.
The Empress Dowager looked at Lu Qiqi and said, "Going back to the capital to find the medicine woman now would take too long."
Since the Princess of Kang Le County is skilled in medicine and is also a woman, she should go and examine their illnesses.”
Lu Qiqi did not refuse, and stood up and replied softly, "Yes."
As he was speaking, Song Yanqing was about to escort her over when the Empress Dowager stopped him, and he could only watch Lu Qiqi walk out of the stands.
The Empress Dowager looked at him and said, "You are the culprit behind this!"
If you hadn't stirred up those noble ladies' jealousy and rivalry, none of this would have happened!
"You'd better stay here quietly, lest those noble ladies see your clothes and cause trouble again!"
The Empress Dowager found it unbearable to see the two of them dressed like newlyweds in clothes made of a single piece of cloth, even though they were not yet married.
She never imagined that her grandson would be so reckless!
Song Yanqing was unaware of what was happening under the pavilion and was stunned for a moment upon hearing the Empress Dowager's words.
When he sensed something was wrong, he asked, "Grandmother, what exactly happened?"
The palace maid beside the Empress Dowager told Song Yanqing everything that had happened under the pavilion.
He thought of Lu Qiqi's retort in the pavilion, and a smile crept onto his face at her genuine nature.
On the other side, Lu Qiqi followed the head maid and passed by the garden of the courtyard again.
After several twists and turns, the two arrived at a house.
"Knock knock knock".
The head maid raised her hand and knocked on the wooden door. A sound came from inside, and the door opened from the inside shortly afterward.
"Madam, the Empress Dowager has learned that Princess Kang Le is skilled in medicine, and has specially invited her to examine the young ladies."
The moment the head maid spoke, the room, which had been filled with constant crying and commotion, fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
This strange scene was nothing out of the ordinary for Lu Qiqi.
The person who opened the door was Lin Xue's mother, who had no idea what had happened under the pavilion.
Hearing that a woman was coming to see him, and that she wasn't a royal physician, he was naturally more than willing.
She warmly invited the two into the house.
The two stepped over the threshold one after the other and entered the inner room, where they saw the crowd with tear stains still on their faces.
Lu Qiqi will never forget that astonished expression and incredulous face.
However, she appeared calm and composed, displaying a high level of professionalism.
These noble ladies, in less than an hour, were still making things difficult for Lu Qiqi and her sister under the pavilion in the garden.
Now they even demanded that Lu Qiqi examine them, and their faces turned as red as exploding fireworks.
Madam Lin was most anxious about her daughter. In her opinion, a girl must have a good appearance to marry into a good family.
If a relationship is ruined because of a rash on your body, then it would be a great loss.
So she immediately pressed Lin Xue down to sit at the table, saying, "Princess Kang Le, please treat my daughter."
Lu Qiqi sat down and said with a faint smile, "You're too kind, Madam."
Although Lin Xue was unwilling, she had no choice but to give in. Her body was so itchy that she wished she could peel off her skin.
"Reach out your hand."
Lin Xue obediently did as instructed.
"Take off your clothes."
Upon hearing the words "icy," Lin Xue's face instantly flushed red, not out of embarrassment, but out of anger.
Checking for the red rash on her body was a necessary step; the act had to be done properly, otherwise, if word got out, it would confirm that she was the one who administered the drug.
Seeing that Lin Xue was dawdling, Madam Lin had a screen set up and began to strip her clothes off.
As he peeled it, he said, "What a woman fears most is being disfigured. If you have any scars, you'll regret it!"
As Lu Qiqi watched Lin Xue shed tears, she thought to herself: "She's not a man, yet she's acting like she's taking advantage of a virgin like me."
When she saw the red patch on Lin Xue's back, she analyzed the condition, saying, "She went to a place she shouldn't have gone and contracted some kind of insect."
After taking the medicine, boil the dregs in water and wash the affected area.
Lu Qiqi started making things up, and Lin Xue breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Soon, she had treated all the girls in the room who had been poisoned by the itching powder.
I have to say, after seeing how thin these people's backs are, if she had bamboo cups on hand, she would definitely give them cupping therapy.
The group took the prescription, tidied their clothes, and left the Royal Garden to return to the city to get the medicine.
When Lin Xue saw the medicinal herbs on the prescription, she couldn't hold back her tears any longer.
"Mother, this is all bitter medicine. You add all kinds of bitter medicine into it."
She wasn't treating our illnesses at all; she was clearly taking revenge on us!
