Chapter 98 Healing Her Face
Inside Yaohua Palace, Shen Yuning's breathing was even and gentle, and she had fallen into a deep sleep.
Kwon Myung-hyuk stared at her sleeping face and only got up and left after making sure she was asleep.
The night wind blew, his clothes rustled, and Quan Minghe stood tall.
Li Ming followed closely behind and reported: "Your Majesty, Concubine Yan's facial injury is indeed very serious. Even Doctor Lin, who is good at treating skin diseases, looked embarrassed and said frankly that it is quite difficult."
Quan Minghe's face was grim.
He walked out of the gate of Yaohua Palace without saying a word.
He walked to the front of the imperial carriage, lifted the gorgeous curtain, and sat inside in a flash.
"Go to Ganquan Palace."
As his order was given, the imperial carriage started moving immediately, heading towards Ganquan Palace in a mighty manner.
At this time, candlelight was flickering in Ganquan Palace.
Concubine Yan was lying on the bed, staring at the curtains above the bed, hatred flashing in the depths of her eyes.
Su Xin sat on the edge of the bed, her face full of worry.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty has always cared about you very much. Knowing that you are injured, he will definitely come to visit you soon."
care?
I'm afraid that His Majesty only cares about her face.
She knew that someone had secretly tampered with the scriptures. When the scriptures were delivered to her, she just moved a little closer to them and felt an itch on her cheek.
Someone wants to frame Concubine Shen.
In the harem, people are vicious and everyone is not simple. After much thought, Concubine Wang and Zhaoyi Liu are the most suspicious.
When she first entered the palace, she was deeply favored by His Majesty, and she naively thought that she was the most precious woman in His Majesty's heart.
I will give my whole heart to Your Majesty.
In order to win the heart of His Majesty, she did not care about fame, wealth and status in the palace, so she stayed in Ganquan Palace for two years.
I hope he can treat me sincerely.
But two years passed quickly, and she did not wait for the emperor to show any mercy. Instead, she waited for another woman - Shen Yuning.
When His Majesty doted on Concubine Wang, she felt bitter in her heart, but she remained calm and did not show any excessive emotion.
But Shen Yuning is different.
As soon as she entered the palace, she was named Jieyushi, which attracted much attention.
His Majesty protected her everywhere, not only shielding her from the prying eyes of the concubines in the harem, but also frequently staying overnight in Yaohua Palace, and even letting Concubine Shen stay overnight in Weiyang Palace.
A few days ago, she even sent the glass mirror that she and Liu Zhaoyi had fought for to Yaohua Palace.
Such pampering made Yan Xin feel uneasy.
Could it be that Concubine Shen is more like the person that His Majesty is obsessed with than herself?
But when I met Shen Yuning in Ganquan Palace today, I found that it was not the case at all.
Like Lady Wang, Shen Yuning was bright and beautiful, with stunning looks.
She is beautiful, but she is definitely not the person your majesty loves.
so……
Why is this?
Why is Your Majesty so special to Shen Yuning?
Could it be that His Majesty has fallen in love with Concubine Shen?
Yan Jieyu slowly raised her hand and stroked the skin on her cheek that had become uneven due to the rash. The touch from her fingertips made her heart tremble violently.
If her own face is also ruined, will Your Majesty never even look at her again?
She slowly leaned against the head of the bed, her eyes dull.
Suddenly, Li Ming's voice came from outside the palace: "Your Majesty has arrived——"
This voice instantly lit up Yan Xin's dim eyes.
She took the veil from the maid and put it on her face with a slightly flustered movement.
He stood up and walked out of the inner hall.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
"Stand up."
Quan Minghe walked to the bedside, followed by Doctor Hu with a serious look on his face.
After he sat down, his eyes were stern, and without any extra words, he gave the order directly: "Show her face."
Yan Xin stood up and sat aside.
Since he cares so much about this face, what is his attitude towards Concubine Shen?
The palace maid beside him swiftly brought a stool to Doctor Hu.
After Doctor Hu sat down, he stretched out his hand, placed it on Yan Xin's wrist, and began to take her pulse.
After a moment, he frowned slightly and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, Madam, I heard that your facial injury recurred because of the Buddhist scriptures stained with aconite powder placed in the bedroom."
"This Aconitum has a strong property. Its powder was scattered in the bedroom. The queen stayed there for a long time, and the poisonous gas entered the body through the mouth, nose, and skin. The queen's facial skin had just experienced an allergy and was in an extremely fragile stage. Therefore, the poisonous gas stagnated on the skin surface, causing the rash."
Quan Minghe stared at her face under the veil, "Maybe it can be cured?"
"Your Majesty, it will be extremely difficult for Her Majesty's face to return to its original state in a short period of time."
Doctor Hu looked embarrassed.
“How long will it take?”
Quan Minghe turned the ring on his hand, obviously not satisfied with this answer.
Doctor Hu pondered secretly.
Yan Jieyu's face is already fragile due to allergies, and everyone's physique is different, so recovery is unpredictable.
After a moment, he said, "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, if everything goes well, the medicine is used properly, and Your Majesty can take good care of herself, it may take at least three months, or at most half a year, to see results. But during this period, Your Majesty must strictly follow my doctor's advice and not slack off, otherwise..."
Quan Minghe frowned, his eyes becoming colder: "I will only give you one month, you must make sure that Concubine Yan's face is fully recovered."
Doctor Hu was shocked: "This..."
He was about to open his mouth to explain, but was frightened by His Majesty's cold eyes and swallowed his words back.
Yan Xin sat aside with a calm expression.
Doctor Hu calmed himself down and said carefully, "Your Majesty, if you want to recover within a month, you must use some extremely precious medicinal herbs."
"Such as Lingzhi, Beihai pearls, and Snow Mountain Cordyceps, etc., are boiled into pastes using secret methods and applied to the face and massaged daily to help the medicinal power penetrate. At the same time, moxibustion is also needed to dredge the meridians and dispel the residual toxins in the body."
"only……"
Doctor Hu hesitated to speak.
"Just what?"
"It's just that because we need to quickly detoxify, we also need to use acupuncture. Your Majesty may suffer some pain during this process."
"It's okay. Just treat her and make sure she is cured within a month."
Yan Xin lowered her head, and felt a pang of pain in her heart as she listened to His Majesty's words that showed no regard for her feelings.
The glimmer of hope that had originally remained was instantly shattered like a bubble.
Doctor Hu quickly responded, "Then I will go down and prepare ointment for your majesty, and prepare the things needed for daily acupuncture."
After saying that, he hurriedly retreated.
Kwon Myung-hyuk also stood up and prepared to leave the palace.
Before he stepped out of the palace gate, Yan Xin trotted after him.
She hugged His Majesty from behind, with a tone of loss and powerlessness that was difficult to conceal: "Your Majesty, is my face so important to you?"
Kwon Myung Hyuk paused and said, “Well, so don’t do anything stupid with your face.”
"If I am willing to be her substitute, will Your Majesty still love me as much as before?"
Yan Xin's voice carried a hint of desperate madness, like the last straw a drowning person grasped.
"Yan Xin, you're asking for too much."
Quan Minghe ruthlessly pried Yan Xin's hands apart and walked away in big strides.
In Quan Minghe's view, the women in the harem are nothing more than some who are favored more and some who are less favored, and they are just his entertainment in his spare time.
But these favored women are always greedy and want to win his heart and get all his favor.
Isn't that ridiculous?
Yan Xin stood there, looking at His Majesty's back as he walked away, tears welling up in her eyes.
She asked herself in her heart, how much? Does she want more?
It was His Majesty who gave her hope, it was he who doted on her and even made her never lose to Concubine Liu, and it was he who nurtured her appetite so much.
How can he just let go?
It’s fine if you don’t love me, but you should never fall in love with anyone else!
