Chapter 20
After Imperial Physician Sun finished speaking, there was total silence in the room. No one dared to come out, and no one dared to look at the reaction of the emperor sitting on the throne.
"Can it be cured?"
Doctor Sun knelt down and said nervously: "I will try my best, but it will take too long and the dosage is too high. Although I have stopped taking the medicine for a long time and will not be hurt again, but..."
Yan Shiyu raised his hand, his tone flat but irresistible, "If it can't be cured, it means the Imperial Medical Bureau is incompetent."
Doctor Sun wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked out. When he saw Wei Maoyuan standing outside, he couldn't help but ask the former eunuch, "Please tell me, sir, who is inside..."
Wei Maoyuan waved his hand, "Well, Lord Sun, just understand it in your heart."
After hearing what Wei Maoyuan said, Imperial Physician Sun immediately felt that the matter was difficult to handle. The medicine had already been drunk and had entered his internal organs, so how could it be completely the same as at the beginning?
"Everyone, go away." Yan Shiyu looked at the scar on Ruan Jun's face calmly with his dark eyes. There was a large red and swollen area on her fair face. Although the scar was not deep, it always looked scary on her delicate face.
Ruan Yun covered her face with grievance and pulled away from Yan Shiyu's arms, "Your Majesty, please don't look at it."
Yan Shiyu pulled her hand away and saw that her fingertips were stained with medicine. He reached out and wiped the medicine off bit by bit, "Now I know."
A woman's appearance is extremely important, especially now that she is still in the deep palace. The only thing she can rely on is this pretty good face.
Ruan Jun felt a little annoyed. She was only concerned with arousing Yan Shiyu's sympathy just now, but how could she have forgotten about this matter? One could tell how vicious she was now without looking in a mirror.
In the blink of an eye, tears fell freely. Yan Shiyu felt some heat on his fingertips, and his voice slowed down. "Why are you crying? I didn't say anything to you."
Ruan Yun quickly hugged Yan Shiyu's slender waist and buried her face in his arms to cover the scar on her face. She replied in a muffled voice, "I almost didn't see the emperor just now."
Yan Shiyu pinched her waist unhappily, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Ruan Yun did not speak again, but her arms became stronger and her shoulders were still shaking.
Yan Shiyu's dark eyes were filled with her petite body, her black hair still a little damp, the hot water bottle on her body was steaming, but she was still shivering.
She fell into the water, someone wanted to kill her with bad intentions, and she was forced to drink such bitter medicine. Yan Shiyu finally put his hand behind her head, using force to make Ruan Jun lean more firmly.
The emperor had a slight scent of ambergris on him, which made Ruan Yun's confused mind become clearer.
…
Hanyu Palace.
Chen Lu took the meal sent from the kitchen and went in with the food box in a bad mood.
The master was only under house arrest, and the Emperor and Empress did not say anything about deducting Han Yu Palace's share. However, the meals delivered every day consisted of only two vegetarian dishes, without any smell of meat or fish. It was good enough that they were not rotten!
The rice in the lunch box was the last one to be delivered to Hanyu Palace and was already cold. Chenlu took the lunch box to the backyard, where Tingxu was arranging and putting away the dead branches he had picked up from the peach blossom forest.
"Heat up the food and send it to the master."
Chenlu placed the food box in front of Tingxu. Tingxu timidly responded to Chenlu's words and did not dare to delay for even a moment.
Entering the inner hall, Qing Ling advised: "Master, you haven't had a sip of water today, please at least have some tea."
Yu Ronghua no longer had the glory of the past. "I don't need it, take it away."
Lying on the bed feeling weak, Yu Ronghua's voice was much softer than usual.
Chen Lu walked over quickly and knelt beside the bed.
Yu Ronghua saw her coming and asked hurriedly, "Did the emperor let me go out? Did he say when I would be released from house arrest?"
Chen Lu wiped her tears and lowered her head and said, "Master, don't always think about these things, it will make you sick easily."
"Ill?" Yu Ronghua smiled bitterly, "Even if I die in Hanyu Palace today, I'm afraid the emperor won't even come to see me again."
She was the legitimate daughter of a marquis's family and could marry anyone she wanted when she went to the capital. However, that year, she followed her father into the palace to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet. She saw the emperor, who was still a prince at the time, and her heart was moved at first sight. Later, she learned that the emperor intended to select a princess, so she persuaded her father to let her go. Even though she was not the candidate for the princess, she was willing to enter the palace and become a concubine. Later, she was favored by the emperor as she wished.
But all of this was ruined! It was all because of that bitch Ruan Jun!
Hatred rose in Yu Ronghua's eyes. "How is that bastard now?"
Chen Lu was embarrassed, "Master, the Hanyu Palace is heavily guarded, and I can't get any information."
Yu Ronghua struggled to sit up from the bed, "She is out of control, but there is still someone in Hanyu Palace. Since she doesn't care about her good sister, why should I keep her here!"
Chen Lu and Qing Ling looked at each other, with a hint of uneasiness in their eyes.
Tingxu quickly heated up the food and brought it to the inner hall. Chenlu took the food box from Tingxu and said lightly, "Come in. The master has something to tell you."
Hearing Xu's alert face, Chen Lu turned back to look at her, "Why, now the master can't call you?"
Walking into the inner hall cautiously, Tingxu did not dare to raise his head, but just knelt in front of Yu Ronghua.
Yu Ronghua smiled and said, "Why are you so nervous?"
Tingxu immediately said, "I dare not."
Yu Ronghua was supported by Chen Lu and walked over. She personally helped Tingxu up and said, "You have suffered a lot during this period of time following me."
Tingxu immediately stepped back a little, and Sister Ayun's words echoed in her heart again, "I just did my duty."
Yu Ronghua was not annoyed by Tingxu's guard. She walked to the dressing table calmly and picked up a fine white jade brooch. "After my master was confined, you are the only one in the palace who still serves me wholeheartedly. After thinking about it, I think I should give you something as a reward. This brooch is for you."
Tingxu didn't even look at what Yu Ronghua was holding, "I dare not take it. The master's things are all very good. How can I be worthy of them?"
Chen Lu took the brocade from Yu Ronghua's hand, and following Yu Ronghua's hint, she inserted the brocade diagonally into Tingxu's hair bun, holding down Tingxu's head to prevent her from moving, until the brocade landed steadily on her head, "The master said it was a reward for you, so you can take it."
After walking out of the inner hall, Tingxu suppressed the urge to pull out the shackle, and did not take it off until she walked back to the backyard. Even though she did not understand, she could feel that the temperature of mutton-fat white jade was very high. When Yu Ronghua was still in favor, she and her sister were always hungry and full in Hanyu Palace. Now that she was given a shackle, it was clear that she had no good intentions! Tingxu held the shackle in her hand and walked quickly towards the peach forest.
…
There has been peace in the harem recently, but it's all on the surface.
The war in the south is intense, and the emperor has not entered the harem for a long time. In the past, at this time of year, I don't know how many concubines would be impatient and send gifts to the emperor, but now no one dares to do so.
It was not only because of the events of the previous dynasty, but also because Concubine Shu was reprimanded by the Emperor in Yu Garden and took off the green card on the grounds of illness. Everyone was speculating what the Emperor was thinking, and no one dared to approach easily.
tilt palace.
Concubine Shu's face was pale, and the thick rouge and powder covered the dark circles under her eyes, but could not hide her lonely expression. She kept pacing in the hall, looking outside from time to time, her eyes full of tension.
This was what Liu Yu saw when he entered the palace. He hurried forward to support Concubine Shu, "The imperial physician said that the queen should not get out of bed and should rest. Why did the queen get up anyway?"
However, Concubine Shu just held Liu Yu's hand tightly and asked, "Is the Emperor here?"
Liu Yu said in embarrassment: "The emperor was busy with his affairs before, and he has not been to the harem for a long time. Not only did he not come to the empress's place, he also did not visit the other concubines' places."
Concubine Shu covered her face and cried, her tears soaking the makeup on her face, making it look a little mottled. "I am sick, but the emperor doesn't care. Tell me, is the emperor really irritated with me? Will I never see him again?"
Liu Yu comforted Concubine Shu. She and Liu Jin were both Concubine Shu's concubines, and they understood their master's thoughts best. "The emperor has always been lenient and strict with his subjects. Your Majesty punished that lowly maid for no reason, which made the emperor angry for a while. If your Majesty can show that you know your mistakes in front of the emperor, the emperor will definitely change his mind."
Concubine Shu stood up indignantly and suddenly began to cough, "Isn't this a disguised way of asking me to pay compensation to that slave girl?"
Liu Yu hurriedly brought a cup of tea and placed it in front of Concubine Shu, "Of course not. Your Majesty knows best how to soften the Emperor's heart. Your Majesty will still be the high-ranking master at that time. What tricks can that lowly servant come up with?"
The hand of Concubine Shu, which was touching the incense burner, gradually tightened. She felt a sharp pain in her palm, but she seemed not to feel it.
"Please put on makeup for me again. I will go to the temple in person."
