"Although it's a pity, it's also good that the two concubines were scratched and disfigured. They act like they are so arrogant just because they are concubines." After saying this, Chang Liangyuan continued to drink tea.
The next morning, Concubine Xu came to Xiaoxiang Pavilion with a round fan in one hand covering her face and a handkerchief in the other, and told Shen Chuwei the important news as soon as possible.
"Shen Liang Di, Concubine Xue's face was scratched by a cat yesterday. It seems that she is in danger of being disfigured."
Upon hearing this, Shen Chuwei guessed that the cat was let in yesterday by Xueyan, and that the cat’s paws were deliberately smeared with poison, and the purpose was very obvious.
The cat was targeting her and ended up scratching Concubine Xu.
The poison she applied was not so easy to remove, and there was indeed a risk of damaging her face.
Shen Chuwei stared at Concubine Xu's face for a while and asked, "Does your face hurt?"
Concubine Xu shook her head. "It doesn't hurt much, it's just a little itchy. If I wasn't afraid of disfiguring myself, I would have scratched it."
Yesterday Shen Chuwei told her not to scratch the wound, no matter how itchy it was, otherwise her face would be disfigured.
Shen Chuwei said: "The itching means the wound is healing. Just bear with it for a few days and it will be fine."
"As long as I'm not disfigured, I'll endure it." Women love beauty, and Concubine Xu loves beauty even more. She wouldn't live if she was disfigured.
"I asked Xiao Guizi to pick cherries. Eating will divert his attention." Shen Chuwei pulled Concubine Xu to sit down at the round table under the tree. There were fresh cherries and pastries on the table.
Although we are under house arrest, we have no worries about food and drink.
Tao Liangyuan also rushed over after hearing the news. After listening to Shen Chuwei's words, she felt relieved to know that Concubine Xu was fine.
"Why do I feel that Concubine Xue is a little stupid? Shen Liangdi is locked up now, and rumors are spreading that Shen Liangdi has completely fallen out of favor, and Concubine Xue is still trying to deal with Shen Liangdi." Tao Liangyuan asked.
Concubine Xu guessed, "Perhaps Concubine Xue couldn't stand the fact that Shen Liangdi was prettier than her, so she wanted to destroy her."
Tao Liangyuan nodded, "I don't rule out this possibility."
In order to divert Concubine Xu's attention, the four of them finally played Landlord.
Except for Shen Chuwei, Concubine Xu, Tao Liangyuan and Chunxi had notes stuck all over their faces.
Finally, Shen Chuwei was too sleepy and said, "I can't hold on any longer. Let the little rabbit come and take my place."
Concubine Xu couldn't help but complain, "Why are you so sleepy? Even sleepier than before."
"Maybe it's because it's summer. I'm going to take a nap now." Shen Chuwei said as she gave her seat to the little rabbit and climbed onto the rattan chair and fell asleep soon after.
In the past, the four of them often played Landlord together for leisure and entertainment, and Little Rabbit also learned a few things by watching.
After the little rabbit came on stage, the three of them turned the situation around and covered the little rabbit's face with paper strips.
Because of the game of Landlord, Concubine Xu's attention was all on the cards, and her focus was on winning or losing.
And everything was seen by the man in black on the tree.
The man in black had been watching Shen Chuwei's every move these days, but when he returned to Yixiang Palace, his attention began to focus on her cheeks again.
I always can't help but want to reach out and scratch it.
Especially when lying in bed and trying to sleep, I feel hot and itchy and have no intention of sleeping at all.
She simply got out of bed, went to the table, poured herself a glass of water and drank it.
The man in black jumped in silently from the window and sat down at the table.
She poured herself a cup of herbal tea with such skillful movements that she felt as if she were at home.
The first few times Concubine Xu saw the man in black suddenly visit, she was very scared, but now she is used to it, so when she saw him coming, she was not surprised and continued to drink her tea calmly.
The man in black picked up the teacup and looked at Concubine Xu's face, where white gauze was bandaged and no wound could be seen.
It really surprised him. In the palace, the most fake things are friendship and family ties.
After observing for so long, he found that Concubine Xu and Shen Chuwei had a good relationship and it was sincere.
"How's your face?"
Concubine Xu raised her chin and said, "You are here to laugh at me, right? Then you will be disappointed. Concubine Shen Liangdi said that I will not be disfigured."
"I'm just asking casually." The man in black took a sip of tea. "I came here to ask, what did Shen Liangdi do to the cat yesterday to make it so obedient?"
"How would I know? I was so scared at the time." Concubine Xu is still scared when she thinks about it now.
The man in black said coldly, "You really don't know anything. What's the use of you?"
Concubine Xu was drinking tea at the time, and she was so frightened by what she heard that she choked and started coughing.
Is this a murder to silence her? She hurriedly explained, "I have to answer any questions I ask. How can you say it's useless? How can I answer someone I don't know? Can you please explain the truth?"

The man in black crossed his legs and looked at Concubine Xu with a half-smile, "I'm not a good person, why should I talk to you?"
Concubine Xu insisted, "I helped you anyway. Even if I'm no longer useful, we can just part ways amicably, right?"
The man in black laughed. He stood up by holding onto the round table. With evil and cold eyes, he approached her and spoke slowly, "You may not know that I kill people like crazy. If you don't obey me, I can kill you as easily as crushing an ant."
Concubine Xu was terrified. She swallowed hard, "Then can you spare my life for the sake of my help? I'm only seventeen years old. I haven't seen the outside world, nor have I met my prince charming. I don't know what love is. I died at such a young age. How sad!"
The man in black couldn't help laughing when he heard that, "Look at what you have accomplished."
It was not until the man in black climbed out the window and left that Concubine Xu realized that the man in black was deliberately saying harsh words to scare her and make fun of her! She silently said harsh words in her heart, "If you scare me again next time, I will take your last name!"
* Shen Chuwei slept for the whole morning and was woken up by Chunxi.
"My lady, what would you like for lunch? Would you like braised pork?"
Shen Chuwei shook his head. "No, I want to eat spicy and sour potato shreds and chili bean curd."
"Okay." Chunxi happily went to make lunch.
The lunch from the imperial kitchen was still delivered by the tall eunuch and placed on the dining table.
Four-joy meatballs, venison, crystal pork elbow, braised pork...
Shen Chuwei was stunned after seeing the lunch.
"The sun is rising from the west today? This food is almost as good as the Queen's."
"My lady, please enjoy your meals with peace of mind." The man in black lowered his head and smiled. In fact, he had replaced these dishes from others. Shen Chuwei glanced at the young eunuch and saw him lowering his head guiltily. She was not afraid that he would poison her or something.
The food sent by the lunch room is so good, how can I not eat it? Shen Chuwei picked up the chopsticks, finished eating the four-happiness meatballs, and looked at the crystal elbow. Thinking that she hadn't eaten it for a while, she felt a little greedy.
She picked up the crystal elbow and took a bite, then found her stomach churning violently. She retched a few times, stood up and ran to the trash can to vomit.
Chunxi patted Shen Chuwei's back soothingly, "My lady, are you okay?"
Seeing this, the little rabbit stepped forward and grabbed the little eunuch, asking, "Tell me, what did you put in the dish?"
