Feng Jin looked at the woman kneeling in front of him, bent down and helped her up: "My beloved concubine, there is no need to be polite." His eyes swept across the knees covered by the outer robe, and turned to Gao Dezhong behind him and said: "Send someone to call the imperial physician."

"Yes," Gao Dezhong retreated after hearing that. Seeing this, Yun Xi also retreated with the basin that was still steaming. When she retreated to the door, she raised her head and looked over worriedly. Seeing that the emperor was helping his master to sit down, she retreated with peace of mind.

"Lift it up and let me see it," Feng Jin looked at the tightly covered knees and said in a flat voice, "Is there anything I can't know?"

Zhuang Yuyan hesitantly lifted up her trouser legs, revealing the scary-looking bruises. "It's not serious, it just looks scary..."

"Your father was a good official." As an emperor, he would not easily talk about the past in front of his concubines, so Feng Jin only said this and changed the subject. "If you have any illness, take care of it yourself. What use are the people in the Imperial Hospital doing with nothing?"

The emperor did not mention how she got injured, so Zhuang Yuyan naturally did not say anything else. She just smiled and said, "I just thought it was late at night and it would not be appropriate to disturb other people in the palace."

"You are my woman, you don't have to worry too much," Feng Jin patted the back of Zhuang Yuyan's hand, his tone was a little gentle, "If you don't take good care of yourself, how can I feel at ease?"

"Your Majesty," Zhuang Yuyan looked at the emperor with emotion and slowly lowered her head. It would be better to believe in seeing a ghost in broad daylight than to believe in the emperor's words.

Someone once said that a woman is most attractive when she lowers her head with a hint of shyness. Feng Jin is a normal man, so seeing such a beauty, he couldn't help but be tempted. But thinking that Zhaopin's knee had not yet been treated with medicine, he just reached out and stroked her black hair, and held her slightly cool hand with his other hand.

There was no incense burning in the Taoyu Pavilion, only a faint fruity aroma could be smelled. I guess Concubine Zhao put fresh fruits in her gauze tents and skirts. Although the smell was light, it made people feel very comfortable.

Zhuang Yuyan didn't know what the emperor was thinking, so she would not act rashly. She just pretended to slowly move closer to the emperor's arms inadvertently, as if this was an instinct of her body rather than a deliberate act or seduction.

The soft touch in Feng Jin's arms made him hug the person unconsciously. He didn't say anything, nor did he want to say anything at this moment. The rare quietness and relaxation made the corners of his mouth rise comfortably.

Gao Dezhong, who was guarding outside the door, was a little surprised when he heard no sound from the house. With such a good opportunity, shouldn't Zhaopin make things difficult for Yuanfei in front of the emperor? Could it be that Zhaopin was so deeply in love with the emperor that she forgot everything when she saw him?

I really don't know whether to say that Zhaopin is stupid or just lucky. If the emperor hadn't happened to hear what they said between master and servant, then Zhaopin's grievances would have been in vain, and I'm afraid she would continue to suffer grievances in the future.

After all, although favor is important in the harem, position is equally important. Moreover, the emperor is not the kind of person who would forget everything just because he favors someone. In this harem, the rules must be followed.

"Eunuch, the female doctors are here," the young eunuch was followed by two female doctors. Judging from their attire, it was clear that they were highly qualified.

Gao Dezhong nodded. Thinking that the imperial physician was not able to properly treat Concubine Zhao's injured knee, he arranged for his eunuch to summon a female doctor. He believed that the emperor would not blame him for acting on his own initiative.

"Your Majesty, the female doctor from the Imperial Hospital requests to see you." Outside the door, Gao Dezhong raised his voice slightly, just loud enough for the master inside to hear.

"Announce," Feng Jin let go of Zhaopin, very satisfied with Gao Dezhong's proper handling. After the two female doctors came in, he waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, take a look at the injury on Zhaopin's knee."

The two female doctors still knelt before approaching the bed. After seeing the wound on Zhaopin's knee, their eyelids jumped. They were female doctors in the palace, so they knew why the bruise came. However, seeing the emperor's attitude, they were afraid that the person who had made things difficult for Zhaopin would be in trouble.

The slightly older female doctor saluted and said, "Your Majesty, Lady Zhaopin, this injury did not hurt the bones and muscles. It will heal in a few days with the application of medicine. I just need to rub the bruises, so Lady Zhaopin will have to bear some pain."

"It's okay," Zhuang Luyan smiled, "just apply the medicine."

"Master Zhaopin, I am sorry for your injustice." The older female doctor took out the ointment, rubbed it on her palm, then applied it to the bruise and rubbed it with more force.

Zhuang Yuyan blinked a few times in pain, then turned her head to the solemn emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I'm fine."

Feng Jin looked at the fine beads of cold sweat on Concubine Zhao's forehead and the smile she was trying hard to put on naturally, and reached out to hold her hand, "I know."

Gao Dezhong buried his head even lower. He originally thought that Concubine Zhao was smarter than before, but today she still looked like a fool. If she showed a little more weakness at this moment, the emperor might feel more distressed. Now she was enduring this just because she was afraid of worrying the emperor. It was just stupid.

How could the emperor really be worried? Everyone in the world knows that the imperial family is the most ruthless.

Gao Dezhong is not a real man, so he doesn't really understand the true state of mind of a man. He has seen too many weak women, and if a woman pretends to be strong for him, sometimes it will make a man feel more sympathetic.

Although her soft hair was already sticking to her slightly sweaty face, and her palms were sweating as she held Feng Jin's, this woman still smiled gently, as if it really didn't hurt at all. Even though Feng Jin was so hard-hearted, he couldn't help but soften a little.

After applying the medicine, a faint herbal scent permeates the room. This smell is not unpleasant and even gives people a faint sense of refreshment.

Feng Jin wiped the sweat off Zhuang Yuyan's forehead with his own hands, "How many times do you need to apply this medicine?"

"Your Majesty, this medicine is only for today. In the future, just apply the ointment evenly on the injured area," the female doctor was surprised that Concubine Zhao didn't even say a word.

"That's good. You can leave now." Feng Jin grabbed Zhuang Yuyan's coat and waved the doctor away. "Someone, help me get dressed."

"Your Majesty..." Zhuang Luoyan's eyes widened, as if she didn't expect Feng Jin to rest.

Feng Jin glanced at her and raised his eyebrows slightly, "What's the matter, my beloved concubine?"

Zhuang Luoyan shook her head, "No..."

After getting dressed, Feng Jin and Zhuang Yuyan lay on the bed. Feng Jin reached out and took a look, then pulled the person next to him to his side, "How old are you this year, my beloved concubine?"

Zhuang Yuyan showed a contemptuous expression in the dark. She had slept with me so many times, but he didn't even know my age. But her tone was full of joy and shyness. "Your Majesty, I will be eighteen after the sixteenth day of next month."

"Eighteen is the age of blooming flowers," Feng Jin rubbed his chin against Zhuang Yuyan's hair a few times, "I ascended the throne when I was eighteen, weren't you only eight?"

"On the day when the emperor ascended the throne, when the ladies of state paid homage to him, I was the legitimate daughter of the family, so I was able to follow my mother to pay homage, and I had the honor of seeing his majesty's heroic appearance at that time." She rubbed her head against the arms of the person next to her. "I still remember that the weather was exceptionally clear that day. I didn't know the rules at that time. When everyone was kneeling, I secretly looked up at the emperor. At that time, the emperor was standing on the high jade steps, and he was extremely dazzling."

Feng Jin reached out and patted Zhuang Yuyan on the back, saying with a smile in his voice, "You really don't know the rules."

People all over the world like to hear good words, and they also like others to always care about them. Even if this person is an emperor or a wise ruler, he is still a human being.

In the darkness, Zhuang Luoyan smiled as beautiful as a flower, but there was no love in this smile.
