Chapter 63 You Want Revenge
In fact, Song Zhao had always wanted to visit Xiao Changzai.
It's just that she had been ill before, and the gauze on her face was not removed. She closed the door and refused to see anyone except Xiao Jingheng.
Song Zhao had previously told Xiao Jingheng,
She said that she felt that Xiao Changzai had helped her to ward off disaster, and that she had implicated Xiao Changzai, and she could not sleep at night and felt uneasy.
She begged Xiao Jingheng to let her take the highly respected Chu Yuanpan of the Imperial Hospital to treat Xiao Changzai, so that she could feel at ease.
This request was reasonable, so Xiao Jingheng naturally agreed.
Before leaving today, Song Zhao first found out that an imperial physician was currently examining Xiao Changzai, so he said to Xiao Fuzi:
"Yunshan and I will go to Zhaochun Palace, and you go to the Imperial Hospital and ask Court Judge Chu to come as well. Just tell them that it's the Emperor's order."
Song Zhao took out the royal jelly that Xiao Jingheng had given her as a reward from the storage room. This thing is most effective when applied externally on scars.
When we arrived at Zhaochun Palace, we heard Xiao Changzai, who lived in the West Side Hall, was angry with the imperial physician.
"I don't care about all that! My face must be cured anyway! I can use any expensive medicine! If my monthly salary is not enough, my mother's family will help me make up the difference!"
"My lady, this is not a question of what medicine to use, it's really about your face..."
"Is my sister feeling better?"
Song Zhaolian stepped inside and interrupted what the imperial physician was about to say.
Xiao Changzai probably felt that his face was too shameful to be seen, so he turned sideways and faced Song Zhao with only his right cheek.
"What are you doing here? I don't want to see anyone, get out!"
Song Zhao said in a gentle voice: "I just happen to have some royal jelly here, and I wanted to see if it can be used by my sister."
Then he handed the item to the imperial physician, "Imperial physician, please take a look and see if this item has any effect on the scar on Xiao Changzai's face."
You can't just give gifts to people in the palace.
Otherwise, the things you give away may very likely become the knife that kills you.
Song Zhao had the imperial physician test the royal jellies in front of Xiao Changzai. Even if Xiao Changzai went crazy in the future, she could not use the royal jellies to frame her.
After the imperial physician examined it, he said, "This is royal jelly of excellent quality. Apply it on the scar to reduce its appearance."
"Thank you, Imperial Physician." Song Zhao placed the royal jelly on the small table beside Xiao Changzai's bed, and then said to the Imperial Physician, "Xiao Changzai and I still have something to say. If the Imperial Physician has finished his examination, please leave first."
After the imperial physician left, Song Zhao also sent Concubine Yun away. He moved a chair and sat beside Xiao Changzai's bed, saying with concern:
"Now that things have come to this, sister, please don't be sad. Worrying too much will harm your health and it will be bad for you."
"You say it so easily!" Xiao Changzai covered his face and moved his body closer to the bed. "You are not the one whose appearance was destroyed, so of course you can say whatever you want! In fact, it should have been you who played the pipa that day, and it should have been you who got into trouble! But I took the blame for you, and now you have to act hypocritically in front of me!"
When Song Zhao heard this, tears welled up in his eyes.
"I thought so in my heart. After all, I am sorry for my sister. So I went to ask the emperor to let Doctor Chu treat my sister. Doctor Chu is a skilled doctor. Maybe the scars on my sister's face can be cured."
Doctor Chu was the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau and only served Xiao Jingheng, the Empress and the Empress Dowager. Normally, even Concubine Chen could not order him around.
When Xiao Chang heard that her face still had a chance to recover, his attitude towards Song Zhao softened a little.
"Why are you crying? I should be the one crying."
Song Zhao pursed his lips and nodded, "I am not as strong as my sister. This incident was purely an accident. My sister has to look forward."
"Accident?" Xiao Changzai frowned and shook his head, "Do you really think it was an accident? This matter was originally aimed at you. You are so favored, it is inevitable that someone will want to plot against you!"
Song Zhao was speechless for a moment, and his expression looked a little unnatural.
After a moment of silence, she deliberately brought up another topic, "Sister has refused to see anyone these past two days, but I heard that the Emperor has visited her twice, which shows that he still cares about her."
"He just looked at me, as if he was just doing his job, and left without wanting to stay any longer." Xiao Changzai stroked the scar on his cheek and said sadly, "I know in my heart that the emperor must dislike me for looking like this."
Song Zhao said, "The emperor has been busy with state affairs recently. He has already taken time out of his busy schedule to come and see you. How could he dislike you? You should know that since the last birthday banquet, he hasn't even seen the Empress Chen. This comparison shows that the emperor cares about you."
Xiao Chang was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
Haven't you seen The Empress?
When Xiao Jingheng came to see her, they couldn't help but exchange a few pleasantries.
She had clearly heard Xiao Jingheng say that the country was peaceful and the people were prosperous recently, so he had a lot of free time.
But since he is free, why doesn't he go to see Concubine Chen?
Xiao Chang secretly calculated in his heart:
Could it be that the Concubine Chen had done something to this? But because her mother's family was so powerful, Xiao Jingheng didn't want to pursue the matter, so he just let it go so hastily? And then he left the Concubine Chen alone and didn't visit her, was it to teach her a lesson?
Before Xiao Changzai could think about it, Chu Yuanpan arrived.
He checked the scars on Xiao Changzai's face and his expression looked a little solemn.
Just as he was about to say something, he heard Song Zhao cough, attracting the attention of Judge Chu.
Xiao Chang was watching secretly, and Song Zhao seemed to give a signal to Chu Yuanpan.
Then, Judge Chu said, "The scars on your face are not serious. I will treat you with all my heart. After a while, there is a chance that you can recover as before."
After hearing this, Xiao Changzai said hurriedly, "Then I'll have to trouble Court Chu to make the judgment."
Although she said so, she still felt that there was something fishy between Chu Yuanpan and Song Zhao.
After the two people left together, Xiao Changzai secretly followed behind them.
It was not until they reached the corner of the corner gate, when the two were about to go their separate ways, that they stopped.
Xiao Changzai hid behind the corner door and eavesdropped on their conversation.
Song Zhao said, "Thank you, Judge Chu. I hope you can keep it a secret from Xiao Changzai. It can also be regarded as giving her hope and telling her not to think too much. After all, people always have to have something to look forward to when they are alive."
Judge Chu said, "I understand. Lord Song is kind-hearted. Although it is impossible for Xiao Changzai's scar on his face to be completely healed, with long-term treatment, the scar will definitely be lighter than it is now."
Song Zhao sighed, "It can only be done this way. Sister Xiao is really pitiful. I hope the emperor can show more care for her in the future."
After a brief conversation, they turned their backs at the fork in the road and left.
Xiao Changzai, who was hiding behind the corner gate, heard their conversation clearly.
Her tears stopped flowing and she seemed as if her soul had been taken away from her. She leaned weakly against the red wall and slid down to the ground.
I don’t know how long it took, but my tears dried up and the despair and helplessness in my eyes were replaced by unwillingness and hatred.
She raised her head and looked towards the Yonghe Palace where the Concubine Chen lived.
I clenched my fists so tightly that my nails dug into my flesh but I didn't feel any pain...
