Chapter 62 God Assists
Dongmei was frightened by the icy rebuke and trembled, "Your Highness, that's not what I meant. I meant..."
Xiao Jinyan interrupted her coldly, "You made the same mistake twice. What's the point of keeping a servant like you who has no memory?"
Dongmei was trembling with fear.
Xiao Jinyan ordered in a cold voice: "Come here, drag Dongmei to the Ministry of Punishment, and send Doctor Yu to treat Chang Liangdi."
Dongmei was so scared that she prostrated herself on the ground and begged for mercy: "Your Highness, spare my life!"
Eunuch Liu ordered two eunuchs to drag Dongmei to the Ministry of Punishment, and then called Doctor Yu to go to Xinlan Palace together.
At this time in Xinlan Palace, Chang Liangdi was looking at her ankle. She had just sprained it again, and it was now very swollen.
How could she, who had been spoiled since childhood, bear the heart-wrenching pain?
She also tried her best for the position of Crown Princess.
At this time, Eunuch Liu came in with Doctor Yu.
When Chang Liangdi saw Eunuch Liu come in, a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart that His Highness still cared about her very much.
Eunuch Liu smiled faintly and said, "Dear Chang Liangdi, look, we have brought Doctor Yu to check on you."
Chang Liang Di did not see His Highness, and looked at Eunuch Liu in confusion, "Where is His Highness?"
"Replying to Concubine Chang Liang, His Highness is busy with official duties and has no time to come over right now. He specifically ordered us to bring a doctor over to avoid delaying the treatment."
After Eunuch Liu finished speaking, he turned around and told Doctor Yu: "Doctor Yu, please take a look at Chang Liangdi. If her leg is crippled, we can't afford it."
Doctor Yu responded, quickly put down the medicine box, and squatted down to check Chang Liangdi's foot injury.
Eunuch Liu came over to take a look. He saw that Lao Gao's ankle was swollen and his skin was purple. He exclaimed in shock: "This injury is quite serious. I heard that applying some bruise wine and massage will make it heal faster."
Doctor Yu nodded in agreement, "What Eunuch Liu said is right. If you use massage with bone-breaking wine on a sprained foot, the swelling will go away the next day."
"Then make arrangements for Chang Liangdi as soon as possible. Only when the swelling goes away can her feet get better and His Highness can rest assured." Eunuch Liu deliberately emphasized the last sentence.
"I will arrange it for Chang Liangdi right away." Doctor Yu was afraid that he would be a step late, so he immediately opened the medicine box, took out the traumatic wine, unscrewed the bottle cap and poured it into the palm of his hand, preparing to give her a massage.
Chang Liangdi knew how painful it was to massage with herbal wine, and she was so scared that she retracted her foot and said, "No, I don't need a massage."
Eunuch Liu smiled and advised: "Dear Concubine Chang, this is the best way. Otherwise, the foot injury will never heal and His Highness will not be able to rest in peace. Don't you think so?"
"But..." Chang Liangdi looked at Lao Gao's swollen feet and felt a little regretful that it had become so serious.
Eunuch Liu urged, "Doctor Yu, hurry up. The sooner she is treated, the sooner she will get better. This way, Chang Liangdi will get better quickly, and His Highness can rest assured."
Doctor Yu took out a piece of transparent cloth and placed it on Chang Liangdi's feet before starting to massage.
The screams from Xinlan Palace were endless.
After the massage, Chang Liangdi almost fainted. Her forehead was covered with sweat, and even her body was covered with sweat, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
She called out softly, "Dongmei, prepare some hot water."
Eunuch Liu kindly reminded, "Dear Concubine Chang, Dongmei was incompetent in her duties, and His Highness has punished her by sending her to the Ministry of Punishment."
"What?" Chang Liang Di sat up suddenly after lying down. "What did Dong Mei do? Did she make His Highness unhappy?"
"In reply to Di Chang Liang, she had a sore foot, and Dongmei made a serious mistake by not informing Doctor Yu immediately, which delayed her treatment. She has never learned her lesson. Your Highness punished Dongmei for Di Chang Liang's safety." Eunuch Liu said slowly.
Chang Liangdi was speechless for a moment and her face looked a little ugly. Just because of this incident, His Highness punished Dongmei?
"Chang Liangdi, I'm going back to report."
Eunuch Liu smiled and left, followed closely by Doctor Yu.
In the afternoon, Xiao Jinyan stepped into the Xinlan Palace.
When Chang Liangdi saw the prince coming, she stood up to salute but was stopped by Xiao Jinyan.
"Just lie down if you're injured. No need to be polite." Xiao Jinyan said in a lukewarm tone, lifted his clothes and sat down on the couch.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Chang Liangdi thought of Dongmei still in the Ministry of Punishment, and she pleaded softly: "Your Highness, Dongmei is my maid who came with my dowry. She was worried about me, so she rashly went to find Your Highness. Your Highness, for her sake..."
Xiao Jinyan interrupted her before she finished speaking, "A one-time mistake can be forgiven, but if she makes the same mistake a second time, it would be a disaster to keep such a reckless maid who doesn't care about the safety of her master."
Chang Liangdi continued to plead unwillingly, "Your Highness, I will teach Dongmei well and will not make the same mistake again..."
"I have some urgent matters to attend to, please take a good rest."
After Xiao Jinyan finished speaking, he stood up and strode out of Xinlan Palace.
Chang Liangdi held the handkerchief tightly in her hand and watched His Highness's back as he left.
Cai He couldn't help but stepped forward and advised: "My lady, His Highness has finally come here. If you mention Dongmei at this time, His Highness will definitely be unhappy."
"Dongmei is my personal maid. We grew up together. How could I not save her?"
Dongmei is Chang Liangdi's most trusted confidant, so no matter what, she must rescue Dongmei.

Upon hearing that Shen Fengyi had returned, Tao Chenghui brought some snacks from outside the palace to visit Xiyun Pavilion.
I met Xu Liangyuan and Xu Chenghui on the way, and went to Xiyun Pavilion together.
Shen Chuwei had just woken up from a nap when she saw Tao Chenghui and the others coming to visit. She immediately saw the pastries in Dingxiang's hand. She had never seen them before and she knew at first glance that they were delicious.
Tao Chenghui saw Shen Chuwei lying on the bed, her face not as rosy as before, and asked worriedly: "Sister Shen, what happened?"
Shen Chuwei said calmly: "I got hurt a little."
Tao Chenghui nodded, "No wonder my sister looks unhappy."
"My sister followed His Majesty to the autumn hunting competition quietly this time. I am so jealous of my sisters." Xu Chenghui's tone was extremely sour.
Shen Chuwei's eyes were fixed on the pastries in Dingxiang's hand behind Tao Chenghui, and she ignored Xu Chenghui's sour words.
She greeted, "Sister Tao, please sit down."
What I was thinking was, should I give her the pastry after she sits down?
Tao Chenghui nodded and sat down on the chair in front of the bed.
Being ignored, Xu Chenghui rolled his eyes at Shen Chuwei with some dissatisfaction, saying, "If you weren't favored, I wouldn't bother to curry favor with you."
Xu Liangyuan glanced at the ignored Xu Chenghui. She had met Shen Chuwei several times and had a general understanding of Shen Chuwei's personality.
She didn't wait for Shen Chuwei to speak, she just sat down while lifting her skirt.
From outside the door came the shrill voice of Eunuch Liu: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."
When Xu Chenghui heard that His Highness was coming, he happily took out a mirror and looked at his appearance, making sure that he appeared in front of His Highness in the most beautiful state.
Xu Liangyuan and Tao Chenghui also hurriedly stood up and tidied their clothes to welcome His Highness.
Only Shen Chuwei stared at the pastry in Ding Xiang's hand, wondering when he could put it into her mouth.
Xiao Jinyan walked in with great strides in a dark satin gown with gold weave, only to find himself in a room full of women.
He frowned. What were they doing here?
…
The cover has been changed, don’t lose it, my dears.
