Seeing that the wound on her body was still bleeding, Xiaochu said softly, "My lady, I will ask the imperial physician to treat you."
"No need." She looked at the collar of her clothes that was already stained with blood, took out the hemostatic powder and sprinkled it on the wound. The powder fell on it, and white smoke came out of the wound. It was so painful just by looking at it, but after the smoke dissipated, the pain gradually subsided, and the wound on her chest had stopped bleeding.
"Isn't it embarrassing enough for me to look like this? If the imperial physician comes and spreads the news, I'm afraid my position as the head of the harem will be lost." She pointed to the box that Qiu Ze sent a few days ago and said, "Put on the wig inside. I'm going to dress up."
"My lady, you still have wounds on your body!"
"It's just a small wound." She took off her clothes and the wounds on her body had begun to heal slowly. Her face was no longer pale. Ever since the love poison left her body, it was as if she had left behind a heavy burden.
Xiaochu looked at her expression and felt a little worried. What method did the queen use to make her recover so quickly? With such an injury, even the sect leader might not be able to recover in such a short time.
When Shang Ruoyi returned to the palace, her father had already woken up.
"Ruoyi." The King of the City had a worried look on his face: "Now the Western Region is full of dangers. I'm afraid your father won't have time to accompany you in the manor." He said to Jun Zegan beside him: "Take your sister to the farm. Fortunately, her identity has not been made public. Your father has been guarding the Western Region for these years and has offended many people. Now that the Western Region is in danger, someone will come to retaliate. You go to the farm to hide." He patted Shang Ruoyi's shoulder and said lovingly: "With your ability, you will definitely have the power to protect yourself. Your father is relieved."
"Father." Jun Zegan frowned and said, "What are you doing?"
"Back then, I didn't protect your mother well. Although I still don't know why she left, now I will do my best to protect you." He looked at Shang Ruoyi and whispered, "The emperor is seriously ill. The royal family of the Western Region has been decaying for too long. Worms come out of rotten meat and maggots grow in dried fish. The signs of chaos are already there. The Western Region will not be too late. The trend of war all over the world is unstoppable."
"Mother left because of her health." Shang Ruoyi thought for a moment and said softly, "Mother's health is getting worse and worse, and she doesn't want you to be sad. Another reason is because of the queen. Although I don't know what happened between them, mother is very afraid of the queen and the forces behind her." She looked at her father meaningfully, "As for why the queen made things difficult for mother, I think father knows it best. It's all caused by you."
Upon hearing this, the King of Cheng touched his nose and said, "When I rejected the marriage, I told her very clearly that if she insisted on marrying me, she would not be happy. It would be better for her to marry the Crown Prince and become the Queen who can be the mother of the country. She also agreed. Who could have thought that human desire is greedy and she wants power and me as well?"
Hearing him say this, Jun Zegan's face changed slightly. Shang Ruoyi saw it and curled the corners of her lips silently. She thought, her brother should be able to empathize with her at this moment!
But then again, this Emperor of the Western Regions is really miserable.
The queen, who had shared the same bed with him for many years, was thinking about being with his younger brother, Prince Cheng, and his beloved concubine was thinking about living together with Jun Zegan.
It really is true that those who suffer from drought will die of drought, and those who suffer from floods will die of floods.
"You just said that your mother's health is getting worse?"
Shang Ruoyi nodded. She didn't want to say more about this topic because she didn't know if she would have such a thought.
If she talked too much, her father would surely be worried.
“I don’t know exactly what disease mother had. She didn’t want to make you sad, and she also wanted me to be born safely. She thought that even if she was gone, I would still have the protection of the Wei family. But she never expected that before her body completely collapsed, the Wei family would decline, and all of the family property would fall into Shang Wang’s hands. Shang Wang had no scruples, and mother eventually died of illness.” And the real Shang Ruoyi was also tortured to death.
But then again, if it weren't for the harsh treatment from the Shang family, the original owner wouldn't have died, and there would have been no possibility for me to travel through time.
When her mother was mentioned again, Shang Ruoyi clearly felt that her father's mood was getting low.
"Father, I will not go to any farm no matter what. It doesn't matter how chaotic the Western Regions are. It's just to clear the emperor's side." Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Besides, it's very common for a foolish emperor who only knows how to pray to gods and listen to the bullshit words of the Heavenly Master to end up like this. The leader of a country should be a wise man."
The King of the City looked at her and said, "Who do you think is suitable to be the emperor?"
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "This is difficult for me. I just came to the Western Regions and I only know a handful of people. You have been in the Western Regions for a long time. I think you know best whether there are any virtuous people among the emperor's princes."
Just then, a guard came over and said, "Your Highness, the prince sent someone to ask the princess to come to the mansion."
Shang Ruoyi slapped her head and said, "Oh no, I promised him that I would heal his mother, but I completely forgot." She turned to the King of the City and said, "Father, you don't have to wait for me for dinner." After she finished speaking, she ran out the door.
"Someone come!" The city king said hurriedly, "Follow the princess, quickly!"
More than a dozen figures flew away in an instant.
"This kid." The city king shook his head. He knew that the situation was not very good, but he still ran out so recklessly. It was really worrying.
Just as he was about to go back, he saw Jun Zegan still in the same posture, with a look of heavy concern on his face.
"Agan."
Jun Zegan frowned slightly and did not hear his father's voice.
"Agan."
"Father." Jun Zegan said hurriedly, "What's wrong?"
The city king frowned: "What happened?"
"Nothing." He rubbed his temples. "Recently, the army has been busy with many affairs, and my son was thinking about the military pay, so he was a little distracted."
The City King narrowed his eyes slightly: "Since you are tired, take a good rest!"
"yes."
Watching him leave, the King of Cheng asked in a low voice: "What did Prince 꿷꿂 do in the palace? Who did he meet?"
"The Crown Prince summoned the Prince to the palace because he wanted to borrow money from our palace, but the Prince evaded the question." A deep voice came from the side.
"You only saw the prince?"
The man hesitated for a moment and continued, "The palace is heavily guarded, and I was unable to follow the prince the entire time. Later, I heard the princess say that Concubine Xiao had asked the prince to stay in the palace and talk to him for a while. As for what they talked about, I don't know."
