Chapter 376 A Slap
"The emperor is a little bit like an old friend of mine, that's why I was surprised." Nan Jiao did not hide it and stared at him intently.
Not afraid of his imperial aura at all.
The face does look alike.
But the two have completely different temperaments.
The Emperor of Chu was like a sharp sword, full of danger.
The man was gentle and elegant, like a well-mannered scholar, without any killing power.
"Oh? What old friend looks like me?" Emperor Wenshun looked interested, with a meaningful smile on his face.
"An old friend who was both my teacher and my father. He has been missing for many years." Nan Jiao said calmly. Of course, the face he showed her at that time might not be real.
After all, he is a master of disguise.
She could only recognize him by feeling now.
But he was still surprised to see the Emperor of Chu.
"I have been staying in Chu State all my life, and I don't have any brothers who look like me. Are there really people in the world who look so similar?" Emperor Wenshun frowned.
"He is a master of disguise, maybe he is imitating your appearance." Nan Jiao said thoughtfully.
Emperor Wenshun's face darkened, "How dare there be such a bold person!"
"The world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders." Nan Jiao said with a smile, as if she and her mother came to this world with memories.
"You are right. If I find your old friend, I would like to meet him." Emperor Wenshun said seriously.
"Wait until I find him." Nan Jiao also wanted to know where he was and why someone could ignore all the friendship they had built over the years just for a treasure map.
Emperor Wenshun nodded. "I heard that a few years ago, the crown prince was seriously injured and almost died. It was you who saved him."
"It's me." Nan Jiao said. It turned out that Murong Yan had told her about that. No wonder Emperor Wenshun agreed to give out the Bodhi root as a prize.
"What reward do you want?" Emperor Wenshun asked.
"When I saved the prince, he gave me a reward. Now I just want to get the Bodhi root. I hope the emperor can let me get it smoothly." Nan Jiao said with a smile.
"That is your prize. I will give it to you."
"I'm just afraid that some people won't let me get it."
Emperor Wenshun pursed his lips and said, "I have already confined the Fifth Princess's maid to the house for releasing the bear. I have also sent people to the Wuliang Temple to guard the Bodhi root."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Nan Jiao said calmly. Even if the fifth princess ordered the release of the bear, Emperor Wenshun would not do anything to her. After all, she was his daughter.
"Concubine Hua Gui has been feeling unwell. I heard that you are an excellent doctor. Could you please help her?" Emperor Wenshun said seriously.
"I'll try my best." Nan Jiao said.
It seems that Concubine Hua Gui was very favored, otherwise Emperor Wenshun would not have asked her to treat his illness.
After leaving Lu's study.
Murong Jing took her to the palace where Concubine Hua Gui lived.
"It turns out that it was Princess Jin who saved the prince. No wonder the prince is so special to you." Murong Jing had a warm smile on his face like the sun.
"We met by chance that year, maybe it was not his destiny to die." Nan Jiao said that when he met Murong Yan, he had one foot in the gate of hell.
If she had been one hour later, he would have been dead for sure.
"The prince is indeed very lucky." Murong Jing curled his thin lips. He thought that he would never come back, but he did not expect to come back.
It turned out that it was Jiang Nanjiao who saved him.
A moment later.
Nan Jiao arrived at the palace where Concubine Hua Gui lived. Zhan Beiheng and Molan were still blocked outside the palace, so only Nan Jiao and Murong Jing went in.
After notification.
Nan Jiao entered the inner hall and saw a well-maintained woman wearing gorgeous clothes. Her skin was white and tender, and she looked like a young woman in her twenties.
There is a unique charm in her purity, which makes it hard for men not to love her.
No wonder Emperor Wenshun favored her so much.
"Princess Hua Gui, this is the Princess of Jin from the Qin State. Your father asked her to come here to treat you." Murong Jing said as he looked at the woman sitting on the couch.
Hua Yirou looked at Nan Jiao with her moist eyes and said apologetically, "I'm very sorry about what happened that day. I didn't expect Chunxi to do something to hurt Princess Jin."
"I can only say that the Fifth Princess taught her well, that's why she is so protective of her master." Nan Jiao said meaningfully.
"All the maids in the palace protect their master." Hua Yirou smiled softly.
"Let me take your pulse." Nan Jiao didn't want to have a hypocritical conversation with her.
Hua Yirou nodded and took the initiative to stretch out her right hand and place it on the handkerchief.
Nan Jiao walked forward and placed her finger on her pulse to check carefully. After a moment, she asked, "Your Highness, have you been taking maintenance medicine?"
"I eat it occasionally." Hua Yirou smiled faintly.
"I suggest you stop taking it, otherwise your body will be attacked by the medicine and it will be ineffective in the end." Nan Jiao said seriously.
She didn't scare her.
No wonder she is in her thirties but still has such tender and smooth skin, not only on her face but also on her body. She must have used some special banned drugs.
Is it worth sacrificing your body to win favor?
She thought this was the tragedy of women.
Hua Yirou's expression froze slightly. "Thank you for the reminder, Princess Jin. I will try not to eat in the future. Is there any medicine that can cure my current condition?"
"I can't cure you." Nan Jiao refused to take the medicine. Her body had already begun to suffer backlash. If she continued to take the maintenance medicine, the medicine she took would be of no use.
It will also affect her reputation.
"Thank you for coming here." Hua Yirou did not force her to stop taking skin care medicine. She simply could not do that. She did not want to see herself getting old.
She wanted to always be the emperor's favorite and make all the women in the harem jealous of her.
"Nothing else. I won't disturb Your Majesty anymore. Bye." Nan Jiao said and left.
Murong Jing bowed and followed him out.
As soon as Nan Jiao walked out of the outer hall, she saw Murong Xi coming. She narrowed her eyes. Is this the so-called house arrest?
Murong Xi walked up to Nan Jiao and said with a slightly smug tone, "You didn't want to treat my mother, but you still came."
Snap——
Nan Jiao raised her hand and slapped her.
Murong Xi was beaten so hard that she was stunned and saw stars. She shouted in anger, "Jiang Nanjiao, you dare to hit this princess!"
"Fifth Princess, there are bugs on your face. I am helping you get rid of them." Nan Jiao said with a harmless smile. She shouldn't show off in front of her.
Don't think that she will not bother with her just because someone else took the blame for releasing the bear.
"You..." Murong Xi's eyes turned red with anger and she looked like she was about to cry. She was a princess of the Chu Kingdom and had never been beaten.
Today she was beaten by the woman she hated the most.
Bear thing.
She was confined by her father.
After learning that Jiang Nanjiao came to treat her mother, she ran over despite the house arrest. She wanted to show off in front of her. If she didn't want to see the doctor, she would have come anyway.
Nan Jiao looked at her frantic expression, her face as cold as ice as she said, "It was just a slap today, but next time it won't be as simple as a slap."
Murong Xi's eyes flashed with cruelty, and he raised his hand and hit her fiercely on the face.
