The imperial physician prescribed some medicine to reduce the swelling, but she looked quite badly injured. The slap must have been delivered with great force, and the swelling probably wouldn't go down until tomorrow morning.
It's really nothing. Everyone will know that she called the imperial physician in the middle of the night and then claimed to be ill in the morning to make the other concubines excuse themselves from paying their respects to her. That way, she can easily cover it up.
Wan Ge quietly applied the ointment herself, her skill so great that the imperial physician was momentarily speechless.
How could he not know that the Empress had always been protecting them? But he hadn't thought anything of it before, since he also felt that this was what the Empress owed Consort An.
However, looking at the Empress's beautiful face, which was now slightly swollen from being hit, it was clear that this was not the first time she had encountered such a thing.
For the first time, the imperial physician felt sympathy for the Empress.
Listening to their conversation, the emperor suddenly realized something. He wanted to say something to Wan Ge to make amends, but in the end, he felt there was nothing to say. He didn't need to do or say anything, so he remained silent.
Wan Ge didn't need it. The moment she saw the imperial physician off and closed the door, Wan Ge curled her lips. Trading a slap for an empire was not a bad deal.
At first, Wan Ge didn't intend to make a move on either the man or the woman; she just wanted to get rid of her current situation as soon as possible. However, the moment the emperor slapped her face, various scenes of the original owner being abused flashed through Wan Ge's mind.
For a moment, Wan Ge felt that this emperor could no longer be emperor.
Moreover, she was convinced that as long as she lived, the emperor would definitely make her take the blow for An Shuke.
…
The villain in this world is the Grand Secretary. Even before the emperor ascended the throne, the villain held a very high position in the court. In addition, the villain was originally the son of the Prime Minister and the cousin of the Grand General. He was destined to be an outstanding person from birth.
If the original owner hadn't been given the title of future Crown Princess, perhaps the person who truly grew up with her would have been the villain.
…
Before dawn, the emperor used a secret passage to send An Shuke back to her palace.
Everyone knew that An Shuke was a very unfavored concubine, from a very poor family, and had lost both her legs. It was already a stroke of good fortune that she was able to enter the palace as a concubine. Even the Empress exempted her from the daily greetings because she was lame.
This person stayed in his palace all year round, never went anywhere, and rarely made friends with others.
Therefore, no one will care about An Shuke. Right now, they will only announce that the Empress is pregnant. After An Shuke gives birth, people will only think that the Empress gave birth to the child and that he will naturally become the eldest son, the Crown Prince, and the future Emperor.
After sending the person back, the emperor also left.
After watching the other person finally leave, Wan Ge lay down on the soft couch and fell asleep peacefully.
Because they did those things on their own beds every day, the original owner hadn't slept in a bed for a long time and had long been used to sleeping on a soft couch.
Wan Ge felt that this was not good. Although it was not uncomfortable, doing it like this for a long time would definitely cause problems with the spine.
The original owner took so many blows for that beloved one; it won't be long before it's time for others to know of her existence.
As for matters concerning the court and the country, that is the most troublesome issue. The villain is a virtuous minister who is only dedicated to assisting the emperor. If he stands on the opposite side, how should I treat him?
