Rongpin lay there and let him check her injuries.
You won’t know until you see it. It’s shocking. Concubine Rong was poisoned by the itching powder and her whole body started to ooze pus and develop blisters.
Her fair skin was covered with bloody marks caused by her own scratches, which was very scary to look at.
Zhao Hai swallowed his saliva. Her beautiful face was covered with thumb-sized bumps, which was horrifying.
Seeing Zhao Hai in a daze, Rongpin kicked him while crying: "Why are you in a daze? Do you also dislike me? Hurry up and think of a solution! "
“Yes, yes…”
Zhao Hai was also anxious. In the harem, every concubine was as beautiful as a flower. If Concubine Rong lost her looks, it would be difficult for her to gain a foothold in the future.
After all, there are so many beautiful women like fairies, why would the emperor choose a plain-looking woman?
He looked at Rongpin's face and reached out to touch it.
The place where my fingertips were touched immediately became itchy. It was not just an itch on the surface, but an itch that came from between the bones, making people feel uncomfortable.
He subconsciously put his finger in his mouth, but unexpectedly, the itch on his hand disappeared soon.
He was about to say something when Caizhi arrived with the imperial physician. "Doctor Wang, please take a look at our queen. She has been itching all over since she came back."
Doctor Wang was a highly respected old doctor in the palace. He stroked his long beard and said in a heavy tone, "Don't say so much. Let me take your pulse first."
Concubine Rong and Imperial Physician Wang were separated by a curtain. A delicate silk handkerchief was placed on Concubine Rong's wrist, and Imperial Physician Wang reached out to take her pulse.
Then his brows furrowed deeper and deeper: "My Lady, have you eaten anything special these days? Perhaps you couldn't stand those foods and it caused an upset."
Rongpin's other hand was held down, and her legs were constantly crossed and rubbed from side to side. The expression on her face was extremely painful, and there was a hint of tears in her voice when she replied, "Doctor Wang, I have been eating ordinary food these days, and it has been tested. There is nothing wrong with it."
"Where did the Empress go?" He frowned, looking a little serious.
"I, I didn't go to any special place. I've been to all the places I've never been to before. I haven't been to any new place." The more Rongpin thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She didn't eat anything wrong, nor did she go to any new place. Why did she have to suffer this disaster?
She prided herself on her beauty. Even in this harem full of beauties, she was one of the most beautiful. She didn't dare to think about what would happen if her face could never be restored in her lifetime.
Thinking of this, her voice couldn't help but become even sadder: "Doctor Wang, please find a way to save me. I'm still young and don't want to waste my life with this ugly scar."
Doctor Wang sighed, "From my perspective, Your Majesty appears to have been poisoned. However, this poison is very sophisticated, something I have never seen before."
Hearing that even the knowledgeable Imperial Physician Wang didn't know, Concubine Rong was terrified. She was a little confused and stammered, "Then, then what should I do?"
"Although I haven't thought of a solution yet, I see Your Majesty constantly rubbing and kneading the pain, but it doesn't provide any relief. Is that right or wrong?"
"Yes, Doctor Wang, I don't know what's going on. The more I scratch, the more it itches. But if I don't scratch, the itch seeps into my bones. It's too agonizing, I really can't stand it."
As she spoke, tears began to flow uncontrollably, remaining on the scratched wounds, causing her to grimace in pain.
"Your Majesty, please do not scratch it with your hands. I suspect this thing is contagious. If you get even a little bit of the juice on it, it will spread to other places."
By then, Concubine Rong might die from festering all over her body.
At this critical moment of life and death, Rongpin had no choice but to nod her head vigorously: "Doctor Wang, you must save me. As long as you cure me, I will reward you handsomely."
Doctor Wang had been practicing medicine for many years, but he had never seen such a poison before. He didn't dare to guarantee it for a moment, and could only say ambiguously, "I will do my best."
Rongpin asked someone to bring her a purse. She bit the brocade quilt in her mouth. The quilt was soaked with her tears. Her face was covered with tear marks, and she looked a bit pitiful.
Her maid Caizhi, the chief eunuch Zhao Hai, and two servant girls held down her limbs, preventing her from moving.
If I move, I'll definitely scratch myself to pieces!
Rongpin was able to endure it at first, but later she began to beg in a low voice: "Please let me go and help me scratch it."
Caizhi advised earnestly: "My Lady, please be patient. Think about your appearance. If it is ruined, all the suffering you have endured will be in vain."
"Caizhi, my body is so itchy. Can you scratch it for me? Just once, just once." She cried and spoke incoherently.
The usually beautiful faces were now covered with pus. Beautiful women are naturally pitiful, but ugly women can only make people feel disgusted.
Caizhi suppressed her discomfort and said, "My Lady, be obedient. This is all for your own good."
Rongpin finally couldn't control herself and broke down: "I don't want you to do this for my own good!!!!"
Everyone said it in a high-sounding manner, but who could bear this pain for her? She was being tortured by this thing to the point of being worse than death. Who could do it for her?
Everyone can talk well. If you have the talent, just be like her!
She glanced at Caizhi's rather pretty face, and malicious intent welled up in her heart. Just when she was about to act out her feelings, Zhaohai whispered, "Don't worry, Madam. I have a solution."
Rongpin looked at his face. Although she was a little unconvinced, she still tried her best to save the situation. Her voice was filled with urgency: "Tell me, what is your solution?"
It’s best not to lie to her, otherwise she will make Zhao Hai pay for it.
"This method can only be implemented if all the people in this palace are dismissed and only the queen and the servants remain."
Rongpin was startled at first, but the itchiness coming from her body didn't allow her to think too much. She no longer hesitated, just nodded and said to the others: "All of you go out. No one is allowed to come in without my order. Do you understand?!"
"Yes, your servant/slave understands." After saying this, she retreated respectfully.
Rongpin looked anxious. Without anyone holding her down, she couldn't control her hands and wanted to scratch again.
Zhao Hai grabbed her wrist and pressed forward. Rongpin was startled, then finally reacted. As if realizing something, she beat him madly: "Zhao Hai, you lunatic, let me go!!"
She couldn't say the second half of her words. Her lips and tongue had been blocked, and she could only utter some unclear sentences with a mumble.
