"Ye'er, don't worry. You've forgotten, we have Physician Xiao in our manor. He will definitely be able to cure the poison in my body. I just need to stall them and wait for Physician Xiao to return to the manor," Wu Shang reassured Shanyu Heye with gentle words.
He did not intend to conceal from Chanyu Heye the fact that the queen possessed miraculous medical skills.
Rather, there are some secrets that are safer for her to know than for her to know, which is better for her and for everyone else.
“Alright, unless absolutely necessary, I don’t want to be enemies with the Prince and Princess.” Shanyu Heye said softly, “I always feel that the Princess is not as simple and easy to deceive as she appears. She is an extremely terrifying person.”
Absolutely! Sometimes the princess's actions are even more terrifying than the prince's!
But let's not get sidetracked. Tonight, she even gave the Emperor a good beating. Who's more terrifying than her?
Early the next morning.
The palace servants in Chaoyang Palace were surprised to find that the Emperor had a bruised and swollen face.
Consort Yin, who had served the emperor, was not only not punished, but the emperor also thoughtfully ordered her to be carried back to Chengxiang Palace in a grand manner.
Even the other two beauties who had accompanied him to bed received many rewards and were secretly sent back to their residences in sedan chairs.
His face was swollen like a pig's head, and even the most densely beaded imperial crown couldn't hide it.
With little to do during the cold winter months, Shang Xiye announced a day off from work, savoring the "wonderful" experience of the previous night, and preparing to take a nap to soothe his still drowsy spirit.
(Bunny: You wandered around like a zombie all night and got a few beatings, no wonder you're not feeling well)
Just as he lay down, Eunuch De came in from outside again, carrying his whisk.
Looking at Shang Xiche, whose face was bruised and swollen, on the dragon bed, Eunuch De's expression was truly indescribable:
Has His Majesty suddenly developed some unusual hobby? Doesn't he feel pain?
"What is it?" Shang Xiche asked lazily, his drowsiness making it even harder for him to open his swollen eyelids.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has sent Aunt Sun to invite you to Cixi Palace after court, saying there is something important to discuss," Eunuch De relayed Aunt Sun's words verbatim.
Aunt Sun was the Empress Dowager's close confidante, and she wouldn't be sent to deliver messages unless it was something important.
Since the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, Shang Xiche and the Empress Dowager have had an unresolved grudge.
He was extremely tired and naturally didn't want to move: "I know, tell her to go back and tell the Empress Dowager that I will go see her this afternoon after I finish reviewing the memorials."
But Aunt Sun's eyes were red from crying, and there were two handprints on her face. Cixi Palace was afraid that something terrible had happened.
These words circled on the lips of Eunuch De, who hesitated whether to say them or not;
The sound of Shang Xiche snoring like thunder could be heard from the dragon bed.
Grandpa De: "..."
The Emperor must have had a very tiring night.
Aunt Sun returned to Cixi Palace with two bright red handprints on her face. When the Empress Dowager heard that the Emperor would rather sleep in early than come over, she was so angry that she beat everyone in front of her, including Aunt Sun.
The Empress Dowager raised her teacup as if to smash it again, but remembering the mess in the dark room, she had no choice but to put it down.
Her other half of her savings were hidden in the cold palace, which was her safety net.
At this critical juncture, she naturally dared not take it out;
Therefore, she should be frugal these days, otherwise, as the Empress Dowager of the country, she will have trouble even with her daily expenses.
Just as Gao Chengwei was getting so angry that his head was throbbing, he was invited over by Li Gonggong's apprentice, Xiao Fuzi.
"Have you caught the assassin from last night?" The Empress Dowager asked Gao Chengwei with a dark face.
Gao Chengwei noticed that the Empress Dowager's expression was off, but without thinking much of it, he clasped his hands and honestly replied, "Not yet."
