The Empress Dowager was also observing her, scrutinizing her with sharp eyes.
She slowly took the teacup, calmly drank it all, and then praised with a profound and inscrutable expression, "A lucky girl is different; even the tea she's offered is delicious."
Even if the tea wasn't good, and even if she didn't like Xiao Tang, she hated Xiao Rourou, that kind of vixen, even more.
This is a veiled mockery of Xiao Rourou for deliberately exploiting a loophole in the imperial edict.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Rourou leaned against Di Yanhen's chest, feeling somewhat aggrieved.
"Grandmother, you're being a bit biased," Di Yanhen said with a smile, trying to smooth things over.
But at this moment, the Empress Dowager was in no mood to argue with them. "You may all leave. I am tired."
He raised his hand and waved.
Emma, I can finally get out of here.
[As expected, entering the palace is like entering a deep sea; it's best to avoid it next time. Isn't it better to focus on building a career? Isn't it better to go out and make a name for yourself in the world?]
The man who heard this thought twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth.
Xiao Tang, this woman... not only understands medicine, but can also see through other people's fates?
He could even tell that the Empress Dowager's life was coming to an end.
Just as the group was about to leave, Xiao Rourou suddenly knelt down, gently kowtowed to the Empress Dowager, and said softly, "Your Majesty, I've heard that you've been suffering from headaches lately. Rourou has been studying under Imperial Physician Xiao for several years. If you don't mind..."
The Seventh Prince, Di Yanhen, hurriedly chimed in, "Grandmother, yes, I just told Rou'er that you had a headache, and she thought of giving you acupuncture and treatment."
The Empress Dowager, who had been looking somewhat tired, brightened up upon hearing this.
She lowered her eyes to look at the girl kneeling in front of her, "You're quite thoughtful, so give it a try."
Upon seeing this, Xiao Rourou immediately got up to take her pulse.
Xiao Tang abruptly stopped in her tracks, which were about to leave.
[Good heavens, this female lead is really shameless! She actually treated the Empress Dowager? Doesn't she have any self-awareness about her own abilities?]
[Ugh, I suddenly really want to see the female lead contradict herself.]
She simply crossed her arms and hugged her chest.
On the other side, Di Jingling, who had also stopped because of her, remained silent.
He lowered his eyes, his gaze sweeping across her small face with a cool indifference, revealing a slightly smug expression.
A faint smile appeared in the man's eyes.
This woman is quite interesting.
If you take someone's life like that, you lose the fun.
Over there, Xiao Rourou performed a series of procedures on the Empress Dowager with great speed and efficiency, taking her pulse, flipping her eyelids, examining her tongue coating, and finally taking out silver needles, as if she were about to do something big.
Several silver needles were inserted into acupoints on the Empress Dowager's head, startling her into screaming.
Upon looking at the acupoints, Xiao Tang exclaimed, "Pfft, they were wrong after all!"
The acupuncture points were all inserted incorrectly!
When the part about treating the Empress Dowager with acupuncture was written, it was actually just to foreshadow the Empress Dowager's impending death later in the story.
You should know that the female lead in the book studied medicine with her third uncle, Xiao Yuyi, for several years, but she spent all those years trying to seduce the male lead instead of seriously learning the skills.
The female protagonist of this novel is just a pretty face with no substance; she knows nothing else.
well!
If she hadn't been fixated on that cannon fodder supporting character who shared the same name as her, she would have abandoned the story long ago!
I'm so annoyed, but I still have to keep smiling.
Di Jingling watched as an observer, and after a long while, he heard the Empress Dowager wailing and crying.
"Pull it out quickly! Pull it out quickly! My head hurts even more, and I can hardly see anymore! Hurry!"
With the Empress Dowager's angry rebuke, Xiao Rourou finally panicked.
She hurriedly went to remove the needles from the Empress Dowager, and the other palace maids and eunuchs also rushed forward to remove the silver needles for the Empress Dowager.
After all the silver needles were removed, Xiao Rourou turned pale with fright and knelt down, begging for forgiveness: "Please forgive me, Empress Dowager, Rourou only..."
"Mother," Emperor Jingling said coldly after watching the show for a while, "It just so happens that my beloved concubine knows a little about medicine, why don't we let her give it a try?"
Xiao Tang, who was just thinking of being a quiet bystander, thought: ?
Is this villain suffering from some serious illness?
[What did I owe you in my past life? Do you really need to dig this hole for me like this?]
[That bastard, I really want to feed him shit!]
