The news from His Majesty was known extremely quickly.
Not long after Chen Fu's sedan chair arrived at the Hehuan Palace, His Majesty followed.
"I heard that you were hurt." Before His Majesty came in, he heard the hurried footsteps.
Chen Fu was sitting in front of the bronze mirror. Before she raised her head, she saw His Majesty appear behind her.
"I'm fine." She said, putting down the bronze mirror in her hand and pulling up her collar.
"I've heard everything, and you're still quibbling." Xiao Yu almost ran all the way here.
It was a cold day and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Where are you injured? Let me see."
"I'm really fine." There were pinch marks all over her neck, and there were purple marks on Xueyi's neck, which were extremely obvious and not noticeable.
Shen Fu pulled her collar high.
But how could Xiao Yu let her go?
Seeing that Shen Fu didn’t say anything, he stretched out his hand. When his trembling fingers fell on Shen Fu's neck, Xiao Yu's palm tightened for a moment.
"Damn it!" He punched the dressing table beside him.
Shen Fu watched helplessly as cracks appeared on the rosewood.
Then she looked at the expensive and exquisite gold hairpins and jewelry on the dressing table.
Chen Fu hurriedly pulled His Majesty aside and asked, "Why is His Majesty so angry?"
Almost destroyed her dressing table.
His Majesty's fingers clenched tightly: "How dare she hurt you?"
Chen Fu quickly pulled back the figure of the emperor who was about to leave: "It is my fault that I should not have gone to the Wanshou Palace."
She shouldn't have gone.
Hearing the Queen Mother's words, he panicked.
If I hadn't gone to Wanshou Palace, this would never have happened.
"It's my fault." Chen Fu sincerely admitted her mistake.
Xiao Yu took a deep breath, but his eyes were always on Shen Fu's neck.
"I'm worried, let me get a doctor to take a look at you."
The wound on Shen Fu's neck was too obvious, and Xiao Yu was really worried.
However, when Shen Fu heard the words "imperial physician", she felt guilty.
"No need, I am really fine."
If she had asked the imperial physician, if she had asked Imperial Physician He to come, and this matter was leaked in the future, it would probably be another problem.
"How can applying the ointment alone be effective?" Xiao Yu gently stroked Chen Fu's neck.
The marks on his neck made him feel pain in his heart at the first sight.
"I'm still worried."
"The medicine that Your Majesty gave me hasn't been used up yet."
Shen Fu muttered something, and Xiao Yu put his hand down after hearing it.
"The previous medicine." He raised his hand and coughed:
"The previous medicine was for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis." The medicine was applied to the right places for Chen Fu.
But... Xiao Yu's eyes fell on Shen Fu's neck.
It's an injury anyway, so it should be the same if you apply it to that area.
"I think it's okay too."
It was quiet all around. After a moment, Shen Fu reached out her hand, stepped forward and shook the Emperor's hand tightly.
"The medicine is still here. Your Majesty, would you like me to apply it on you?"
"Of course I am happy to do so."
Shen Fu saw that His Majesty agreed. I subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
She hurried to the inner room: "Then I will go find medicine."
Shen Fu said, walking towards the bed.
Xiao Yu behind him had followed up at some point, and seeing Chen Fu turning over on the bed, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"You hid the plaster here?"
Chen Fu was half-kneeling on the bed. After hearing His Majesty's words, she took out a brocade box from inside the bed.
The brocade box was opened, and Shen Fu took out the ointment inside.
"I am afraid of being seen."
This brocade box is filled with all kinds of ointments. Every time the Emperor hurts her, he gives her a box.
This brocade box is filled with plasters.
It would be terrifying if it were told to others.
"If others see it, they will see it." Xiao Yu held the plaster and was a little surprised: "Why, can't this be seen by others?"
Why does His Majesty act so taken for granted?
These boxes of plasters are all for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and also... for relieving pain afterwards.
If Chen Fu takes it out, wouldn't this huge box be so scary that it would scare people to death?
“Your Majesty, what’s going on…” Shen Fu bit her lip.
How come Your Majesty doesn't understand?
If this thing is taken out, wouldn't people know how many times I had sex with the Emperor?
After all, this box of plaster is just for one time.
Some of the plasters have been applied.
"My concubine..." Chen Fu bit her lips hard: "My concubine doesn't want anyone to see it."
"I don't think there's anything wrong with this." Xiao Yu held up the ointment in his hand and looked at Chen Fu with a raised eyebrow.
Others may not know how favored Chen Fu is, but doesn’t she know it herself?
Ever since she came into being, he had been staying at Chen Fu's place almost every night.
Who did she think she could hide this from since the entire harem knew about it?
Xiao Yu wanted to say that she was stupid, but when he saw Chen Fu's expression, he finally stopped talking.
I dare not offend such a delicate person.
"Use this one." Xiao Yu took out a full box, opened it and smelled it.
A refreshing pear scent.
After Xiao Yu took it, he gently wiped Shen Fu's neck.
He was afraid that if he moved too much, he would hurt her.
The movements were extremely gentle, and every step was done with great patience.
After carefully wiping Chen Fu's neck, Xiao Yu was relieved: "It's done."
Shen Fu looked at herself in the mirror and felt a chill on her neck. She moved her neck and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The wound healed a lot after applying the ointment, and my neck felt cool.
"Thank you very much today, His Royal Highness Prince Heng."
Chen Fu looked at the wound on her neck and mentioned something inadvertently.
"The situation was too complicated at the time. Fortunately, His Royal Highness Prince Heng was here." Chen Fu knew that someone would definitely tell His Majesty about what happened today.
But the words sound different when spoken from her mouth than when spoken from someone else's.
"Xiao Heng has just sent someone to tell me." Xiao Yu put his arm around Chen Fu's waist and sat down.
His eyes fell on Shen Fu's neck, and after a careful look, he said, "Fortunately, the injury is not particularly serious."
His Majesty's eyes were very natural.
There wasn't any sign of suspicion at all.
Shen Fu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Whatever he was thinking, he finally asked, "So...how is Aunt Hu?"
Chen Fu still remembers clearly how Aunt Hu pinched her at that time.
At that time, Madam Hu really wanted to kill her.
Shen Fu still couldn't stop shaking when she thought about it.
"Don't worry." Xiao Yu may have noticed Shen Fu's nervousness, so he raised his hand and placed it on Shen Fu's back, gently stroking it.
He patted Shen Fu's back and said slowly: "The person is gone."
"Dead?" Shen Fu's eyes widened, full of astonishment.
Xiao Yu looked at Chen Fu's face and nodded: "He committed suicide."
Madam Hu was caught by the guards and slammed her head against the wall before she even got out of the Ministry of Punishment.
It died on the spot.
Xiao Yu lowered his eyes and placed his palm on Shen Fu's back, patting it gently.
"Afu, don't be afraid."
His Majesty's eyes were always on him, and from the look between his eyebrows, it could be seen that his eyes were full of worry.
After meeting His Majesty's gaze, Shen Fu couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, are you worried about me?"
After hearing this, Xiao Yu felt a hint of smile in his heart.
When he heard the news that Shen Fu was injured, he hurried over without even taking a sedan chair on the way.
She broke out in a sweat, but she didn't expect that Chen Fu was still asking her if she was worried about her.
"You heartless little thing." The more Xiao Yu thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn't help but reach out his hand and pinch Shen Fu's waist.
Shen Fu's expression changed subconsciously due to the pain.
"Your Majesty, why are you pinching me?" Chen Fu bit her lip, feeling a sharp pain in her waist.
She subconsciously moved a few feet away from the Emperor.
"Who told you to ask that question just now?" Xiao Yu's eyes were filled with anger.
Look, is what Shen Fu just said human language?
What should I do to worry about her?
Isn't he worried about Shen Fu, why would he go to all that trouble to come here?
His Majesty looked at Chen Fu with anger in his eyes.
When Shen Fu met those eyes, she realized that she might have said the wrong thing.
She quickly leaned over and fell into the arms of His Majesty.
"Of course I believe in Your Majesty." Her eyes lit up slightly, and she leaned lightly into Your Majesty's arms.
"With Your Majesty here, I am not afraid of anything."
Xiao Yu said nothing, but tightened his arm around Chen Fu a little more.
"As long as I am here, you don't have to be afraid in this life."
********
The next morning.
The news of the Queen Mother's death spread throughout the palace.
The news was a little too sudden, yet it didn't seem so sudden just now.
The Empress Dowager passed away, and just as the matter was resolved, His Majesty ordered that no major event should be held.
The mourning hall was set up in the Wanshou Palace for seven days before the body was buried in the imperial tomb.
Although His Majesty did not hold a grand ceremony, he still kept watch for seven days.
After seven days, the man had lost a lot of weight.
Chen Fu had to look after both His Majesty and the Fifth Prince.
I have had no appetite these past few days, and the weight I gained over the past period of time has been lost again.
