Chapter 415: That’s something only a fool would do
The emperor was instantly delighted when he heard this: "See, the princess is still magnanimous. She must have heard that the imperial concubine was injured and sent a miracle doctor here. At the very least, there is medicine."
"Quick, please invite them in, quickly."
Queen: Even though it is dark now, dreams don’t work this way.
Soon, Guo Lu was brought to the bedroom. Looking at the emperor sitting on the bed and the imperial concubine lying on the bed with tears in her eyes, she felt extremely relieved.
"This servant greets His Majesty the Emperor of Beining."
The Emperor waved his hand good-naturedly, asking everyone to stand up. He then asked gently, "Did your princess ask you to come here? What's the matter so late at night?"
Guo Lu stood up and said calmly, "My princess heard that an assassin had entered the palace and injured the imperial concubine, so she sent this servant to pass on a message."
"A message? What message?"
The old emperor was confused. Wasn't he here to deliver a miracle doctor or medicine? How did he become a messenger?
"Yes, it's just a message. My princess said that she would not let the divine doctor treat the Royal Concubine's injury. The divine doctor also has a temper and will not treat everyone's illness. For example, if someone has bullied my princess, the young prince, or the princess, the divine doctor will not treat them."
"So, there's no miracle doctor, no medicine, no prescription, no ointment, nothing. Your Majesty, there's no need to send anyone to ask. Even if you ask, there's nothing there."
"My princess said she's not the kind of person who would repay evil with kindness. That's something only a fool would do. Unfortunately, she's not one of those people. If someone offends her, she'll dig up their ancestral graves to vent her anger."
"Noble Concubine Zhang is a member of the Zhang family. They have a grudge from the past. Now that the noble concubine is injured, she didn't come over to applaud, which is already giving Beining face. I want you to stop begging for this and that and stop being annoying."
"My princess also said that if the emperor has time to be here and feels sorry for me and is ready to spend a fortune on my treatment, he might as well gather the compensation as soon as possible."
"If the national and private treasuries are not enough, we can find the royal relatives and strip them of their wealth. They won't die if they eat less good food. If we can't get enough, I'm afraid the Bu family army will be impatient. I guess Beining doesn't want to go to war in its current situation."
"That's all the words the princess has asked me to convey. I have to go back and serve the princess, so I'll take my leave now."
Looking at Guo Lu's domineering back, the queen sitting on the chair almost laughed out loud. The princess's output was really satisfying.
"How outrageous! That Princess Regent of the Great Zhou is so outrageous! She actually dared to let a mere maidservant scold me! How audacious!"
"This is Beining, not a place where she, the Princess of Great Zhou, can scold anyone she wants."
Queen: I've already finished scolding you, haven't I? Why didn't you say anything just now? The child died and you started breastfeeding.
She had no doubt that if the old man dared to say a word, the Regent Princess would come over and scold him in person.
"Your Majesty...kill her...kill the Regent Princess..."
"A few days ago, I went to ask her to heal Zize but she refused. Now that my face is injured, she still refuses to let the miracle doctor heal it. How can she be so vicious?"
"Your Majesty, I want to kill her. I must kill her. Will you help me kill her?"
The old emperor was shocked by the vicious look on Concubine Zhang's face. Wasn't she the kindest person? Since he came in today, he had heard her say twice that she wanted to kill someone. Once, she said she wanted to kill the imperial physician, and this time, she wanted to kill the regent princess.
Although he felt sorry for his favorite concubine, it was ultimately the Zhang family's fault. The boy from the Zhang family did that to the princess and her two children and was deposed. Afterwards, he had to have others treat him.
To be honest, ordinary people would not be willing to do this, let alone the regent princess of a country.
The Queen snorted softly, "Sister, please stop talking nonsense. To be fair, the princess' reluctance to treat you is understandable. After all, your nephew's plan is too extreme."
"Not only that, I also heard that my sister went to see the princess a few days ago and had a quarrel with her. In this case, how could the princess send a miracle doctor to my sister? Even the Buddha can't be so kind. Even clay figures have three tempers, not to mention that the princess has a bad temper."
The Emperor frowned. "The Imperial Concubine went to see the Regent Princess and had a dispute with her? Is this true?"
Concubine Zhang lowered her head with an aggrieved look on her face: "Indeed...it is indeed the case."
"I went to the Regent Princess just to ask her to treat my nephew. I even brought gifts, but I didn't expect the Regent Princess to be so stubborn. No matter how much I tried to persuade her, she refused to agree to treat my nephew. In a moment of desperation, I had a quarrel with the Princess."
“Nonsense!”
The old emperor pushed Concubine Zhang away and said, "No matter what, she is a guest of Beining and the regent princess of Da Zhou. How dare you, a concubine in the harem, quarrel with her?"
"You should know that she is not an ordinary princess. She holds the military power of the Bu Family Army. We have been attacking the border over the years just to rob some things and seize a few cities, but if we provoke her, she can lead the Bu Family Army directly to the imperial city!"
"I know what your nephew has done over the years. I didn't want to pursue his actions against the Princess Regent this time, but I never expected you to go so far as to ask the Princess to treat your nephew."
"Let me ask you this: the imperial physician is innocent. He just couldn't heal the scar on your face, yet you're calling for his death. So, what makes you think that the Regent Princess and her children should treat him after being molested by your nephew? He deserves it!"
"Okay, have a good rest. I'm leaving now and will come to see you another day."
Concubine Zhang stared at the emperor's back in shock. "He's just gone like that? He doesn't care about me anymore? Just because I can't have children and my appearance is ruined?"
The Queen admired Concubine Zhang's collapse and said, "You have been in the palace for so many years, and you still haven't seen it clearly? Are you still living in your own fantasy?"
"What...what do you mean? Does Your Majesty think that the Emperor's favor towards me over the years is fake?"
The queen lowered her head and played with her armor, not wanting to look at Concubine Zhang's ugly face at all.
"It's true that he dotes on you. After all, he really likes you, who are so weak and want to rely on him. At least on the surface, you seem to rely on him."
"But you forgot that he is the emperor and he only loves you the most."
"When he likes you, you can be his favorite concubine, but when you affect his interests or cause him to lose his interests, you can also be his abandoned concubine."
"Noble Consort Zhang, when you went to provoke the Regent Princess of Great Zhou, did you ever consider what would happen if the Princess got impatient and doubled the compensation? Do you really think the Emperor agreed to such a large amount of compensation for a princess like Guo Shuangwen just because of Concubine Rou's crying?"
