Inside the Chuxiu Palace, the maids went in and out, sending basins of clean water in, and then turning them into basins of blood and sending them out.
Concubine Huigui was lying on the bed, her back was as clean as jade, but now it was full of potholes like mud after rain.
"It hurts, it hurts..." Concubine Huigui touched her back with one hand, "Itchy, itchy..."
"Niangniang, don't touch it!" Zhilan was sweating profusely, "Don't touch it... Ah, Doctor Ye, Doctor Ye, you are finally here!"
Ye Tianshi, who used to be a famous doctor in the south of the Yangtze River, is now a guest of Hongli, whose reputation has surpassed that of the Imperial Physician's Office, and hurried in with a medicine box on his back.
After diagnosing Concubine Huigui for a while, he turned around and said to Hongli who came with him: "Your Majesty, such a serious burn must be treated with cold compresses as soon as possible, but Concubine Huigui kept asking if there were any scars, and if there were scars, she would not receive treatment. ."
"Nonsense!" Hongli frowned, "Hold her down and apply the medicine immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Hui immediately screamed, "No, I don't want a scar, I don't want a scar, Your Majesty! I don't want a scar!"
Several palace maids stepped forward to hold her down. Concubine Huigui was like a fish on a chopping block, struggling desperately, her mouth kept wailing, and when Ye Tianshi gave her medicine, the scream became more and more pitiful.
"This smell..." Ye Tianshi sniffed, suddenly stopped the hand that applied the medicine, and said in horror, "Not good!"
Hongli hurriedly asked: "What's going on!"
Ye Tianshi grimaced: "Your Majesty, this smell is not right, I'm afraid those are not molten iron, but golden juice!"
Hongli naturally knows what golden juice is. To put it more commonly, it is dung water. When the two armies confront each other, they occasionally use boiling water to repel the enemy.
Concubine Hui Gui was so painful that her eyes turned black. After hearing this, she couldn't stand it any longer. She closed her eyes and fainted.
When she woke up leisurely, Hongli was no longer around, and only Ye Tianshi was still dressing her wound.
Concubine Huigui wished that what happened before was a dream, but the wound on her back was aching, telling her that everything was real, her back was injured, and the wound was poured with extremely dirty gold juice, Concubine Huigui shivered. He asked, pursing his lips, "How is it? Is the wound scarred?"
"This..." Ye Tianshi thought to himself how this is possible, but comforted his mouth, "Empress Consort, your wounds are not big at first. If you take care of them for half a year, you can gradually recover, but..."
"Just what?" Concubine Huigui struggled and stared at him with a grim expression, "I don't care about Ben Gong, you treat Ben Gong, you must heal Ben Gong, and you are not allowed to leave any scars, you know?"
"This...I try my best..."
Ye Tianshi tried his best, but after half a month, Concubine Huigui did not get any better.
"Waste, useless waste! You said to use salt water to cleanse the inflammation and remove the blisters. This palace obeys all! Do you know how painful it is to break the blisters one by one! Ah?" Concubine Huigui sat on the bed with her hair disheveled. , The beauty who used to be like a peony in the past is now like a debt collector, "Why is the wound still not scabbed! Why is there no sign of healing! Say it! Ye Tianshi!"
"I really did my best!" The corner of Ye Tianshi's forehead was swollen, it was smashed by the porcelain pillow thrown by Concubine Huigui, and he was extremely worried, "But the molten iron is mixed with gold juice! The gold juice is dirty, The wound has been infected repeatedly, and I have tried my best!"
Concubine Huigui wanted to find something to throw him, but everything she could throw away had already been thrown out, and finally she could only shout hysterically: "Get out! Get out! This palace doesn't want to see you useless minions again!"
Ye Tianshi said anxiously: "Madame, don't get angry! Don't get angry! Niangniang, what's wrong with you Niangniang?"
Concubine Hui's body shook and fell softly on the bed.
Ye Tianshi was shocked, rushed up to check for her for a while, and then sighed: "The wound is incomplete, yellow water comes out from time to time, fever and cough, and the pulse is floating. I can't cure it! I can't cure it!"
After finishing speaking, she was about to pack the medicine box and leave. Zhilan was terrified and dragged him hard: "No, you can't leave! You are a genius doctor, you can heal the dead and the bones, why can't you cure it!"
Ye Tianshi: "As long as one month, at least ten days, she will be wounded and die, hey, forgive me for what I can do."
After speaking, he grabbed Zhilan's hand and walked away quickly.
Zhilan chased Ye Tianshi away: "Ye Imperial Physician! Ye Imperial Physician!"
Not long after Zhilan chased out, Concubine Huigui woke up leisurely, but she was still a little groggy and couldn't open her eyes: "Zhilan, water..."
A water glass was handed to her lips. Concubine Hui Gui took two sips and felt a little cold. She was about to slap the other side and scolded her for a few words, but she was stunned: "Why are you here?"
The person holding the water cup is not Zhilan, nor the maid of Chuxiu Palace, but an unexpected character - Concubine Xian.
Concubine Xian smiled slightly: "Why are you so surprised, doesn't the noble concubine want to see the concubine?"
Concubine Huigui snorted coldly: "Zhilan! Zhilan! Where have everyone gone!"
Concubine Xian: "The imperial concubine's wound has not healed for a long time. You should restrain your temper and rest in peace. How can you be so impatient!"
Concubine Huigui sneered: "Wulana La Shushen, don't worry, this palace will definitely get better, I won't tell you to see a joke!"
Concubine Xian: "Your back is now bright red, full of rotten flesh. Even if you recover in the future, you will still leave black scars. Concubine, that is boiling hot metal!"
Concubine Huigui raised her hand and was about to slap her in the face, but Concubine Xian took the lead, grabbed her by the hair, dragged her to the bronze mirror, and said coldly, "Gao Ningxin, see what you look like now!"
Since she was injured, Concubine Hui Gui hadn't looked in the mirror for a long time. Now lying in front of the mirror, she didn't look at herself, but stared at Concubine Xian in the bronze mirror, her eyes full of hatred.
Concubine Xian smiled sweetly: "Why are you staring at me like this? Don't you always rely on your beauty to look down on the harem? It will be different in the future. You can only live by the grace of the Gao family and the mercy of the emperor!"
Concubine Hui Gui suddenly woke up: "...It's you!"
"To be precise, it's not just me." Concubine Xian smiled softly, "Someone used Wanziqianhong to burn your skin in order to destroy your snow skin and give you a heavy blow, but she was too soft-hearted, and she didn't aim at it. With your face, you didn't take the opportunity to kill you, of course I want to help her!"
Concubine Huigui widened her eyes: "Golden juice..."
Concubine Xian laughed, and no longer concealed the truth, she told the whole truth: "Yes, no matter how beautiful a flower is, it must be moistened with dung, so I mixed the dung in the molten iron to moisten your peony flower. Son!"
Seeing her arrogant and vicious appearance, Concubine Huigui trembled with hatred: "Aren't you afraid that I will tell the emperor everything?"
"Do you think the emperor will believe you or me?" Concubine Xian said with a smile, "You must know that I was the hero who saved the emperor. If you falsely accuse this palace, the emperor will completely hate you. If you don't believe it, you can try Try, but... do you still have time?"
After she finished speaking, she let go of her fingers, and Concubine Huigui was like a rag, a bag of garbage, which she threw on the ground at will, and then walked away.
"The emperor won't believe you..." Concubine Huigui shouted behind her like a lost dog, "The emperor won't believe you!"
Is that true
Concubine Xian looked back and smiled.
The wind in the water hall is full of dark fragrance, and the bright moon is a little bit of the moon. It is night, and Hongli spends her time in her Chengqian Palace.
The candle flickered, and Hongli shed her clothes, revealing half of her burnt right shoulder. Although she was treated with medicine, she left a scar, but the scar is getting lighter, and it will take a while to heal.
Hongli caressed her wound with some distress, and asked, "It's also a scald. Concubine Huigui screamed so hard that the whole world could hear it, but why are you silent? Does it really hurt?"
Concubine Xian smiled slightly: "It hurts, the concubine is also flesh and blood, how can it not hurt? But when the concubine thought that this injury did not fall on the emperor, she would feel relieved, and no matter how painful it was, she would not take it to heart. "
Hongli was stunned, and looked at her with more pity. At this time, the palace maid came in from the outside with the ointment, and Hongli took it and said, "I will give you the medicine."
Concubine Xian answered shyly and timidly, and the two sat down next to each other, like a newly married couple, with a red candle burning high and dripping till dawn.
Looking at her soft profile, Hongli couldn't help calling her nickname: "Shu Shen—"
"Your Majesty." Concubine Xian lowered her head lower, and her cheeks seemed to be dyed red by candlelight, "You haven't called a concubine like this for many years."
Hongli embraced her lovingly: "I have always neglected you, but at the most dangerous time, you were the first to pounce on me to protect me, but you clearly know that I have enough ability to protect myself and I don't need you. Give up your life, give up yourself."
"Yes, the concubine knows that the emperor has the power to protect himself." Concubine Xian leaned against his chest and said softly, "But under the circumstances at that time, the concubine had no time to think about it. In the future, the concubine will definitely remember that first Protect yourself and don't let the emperor worry."
Hongli sighed and lowered his head to kiss her hair.
But he didn't see the cold arc of Concubine Xian's mouth.
