Empress Zongzheng nodded, and said softly with an indifferent smile: "The imperial physicians are knowledgeable, and they must know all these things. You don't need to remind them deliberately, otherwise those arrogant imperial physicians will think that you I underestimated them, these people, they all value their own abilities above everything else!"

Shu Manhua lowered his head and raised the corners of his mouth, "Thank you, empress, for reminding me, I know. The taste of this Daxia tribute tea is really good, but it's a pity that my father doesn't value it as much as the empress. If you ask for it, the emperor will not give it."

Empress Zongzheng covered her lips with a bright yellow brocade handkerchief and smiled, "You kid, aren't you just asking me for tea in different ways? Okay! Here you are! Yuan He, go and get the tribute from His Majesty." Take half of the tea and wrap it up for the Ninth Prince."

The nanny in charge, who had been standing beside Empress Zongzheng, took the order, and went to make tea as soon as she owed her back.

With just a few words, the distance between Shu Manhua and Empress Zongzheng seems to have been shortened a lot. Empress Zongzheng's tone is full of doting on Shu Manhua, as if she is her own child .

After a while, Yuan He came over with a red sandalwood box, handed it to Shu Manhua, and then respectfully stood beside Empress Zongzheng.Although he didn't say a word all the time, he acted with dignity, as expected of serving Empress Zongzheng close by.

"It's getting late, you should go back too. I won't keep you for dinner today. Your Majesty will come to this palace some other day, and I will send someone to call you over."

Shu Manhua got up and saluted, "The minister will leave first."

Leaving Changle Palace, the sun was rising outside, Shu Manhua raised his hand to cover his eyebrows, subconsciously narrowed his eyes, looked down at the sandalwood box in his hand, thinking of giving it to Ao Qin when he left the palace next time, Ao Qin likes to drink tea, he only likes to drink.

Although Empress Zongzheng didn't expressly say that she wanted to win him over today, their conversations and exchanges can be regarded as an alliance.

Shu Manhua didn't really care about this, he didn't intend to be the emperor, but he was bored anyway, so he just watched how these people planned to play, and it was all about making some fun for his boring cultivation life.

As Shu Manhua expected, Concubine Cao's recovery was not as fast as everyone expected.At first, I just thought it would be good to use some medicine for removing blood stasis and wait for the swelling to disappear, but after three days in a row, not only did there not appear to be any signs of swelling, Concubine Cao often fell into a coma.

Afterwards, the swelling finally subsided, but many bruises and purple spots remained on my face, and I had to use very thick powder to barely cover them, and maybe one of them would fall off after a smile.And even if it was covered, the face was painted pale and pale, and it was impossible to look at it.

go with.

In the beginning, Emperor Jing would come to Fengzao Palace to see the situation of Concubine Cao from time to time, but facing such a face, Emperor Jing didn't want to look at it, and usually just put a few words of care, and told the imperial physician to do his best to cure Concubine Cao. face, and left.Later, he simply let the people around him come instead of him, even if Concubine Cao was in a coma longer and longer, Emperor Jing would not come any more

Check it out.

The second prince had the appearance of a filial son at the beginning, and he often ran to Fengzao Palace, basically whenever Emperor Jing was around.But later, seeing that the mother and concubine had not recovered, and Emperor Jing didn't seem to pay much attention to the mother and concubine, he didn't come, but asked the prince and concubine to come to Fengzao Palace to serve the illness, so as not to make a statement.

After a few days, Concubine Cao's condition not only did not improve, but became more and more serious.The time in coma was longer than the time in waking up, but every time when he was awake, he couldn't see Emperor Jing and Shu Wenli, he would scold him a lot.Naturally, he would not scold Emperor Jing and his son, but would only fight with the palace servants who were close to him, making it even more vicious.Just like those disused concubines who have just been cast into the cold palace, they can hear every word and every word through gnashing their teeth, and their almost crazy eyes are full of resentment and unwillingness.

Her body was thin and out of shape, and the plaques on her face couldn't go away. People in the palace rumored that Concubine Cao Guifei's good days are coming to an end, and the bad days are about to begin!

Telling her to be so arrogant in normal times and to ignore anyone, it is impossible for her to be favored again with her current appearance.Concubines who have lost His Majesty's favor forever will live a miserable life in this harem, not as good as those who have never received favor from the beginning.Especially Concubine Cao, who used to treat palace people harshly.It's fine if the second prince is protecting her, but if the second prince doesn't miss her, there will be hardships in the days to come.

Seeing Concubine Cao suffer so much, Shu Manhua felt that it was about the same. Although Concubine Cao's behavior was hated, but the crime was not fatal. He was already thinking of using some means to let the Imperial Hospital know how to treat Cao Concubine.

However, at this time, Sanyue told him some things Cao Guifei had done that were not worthy of forgiveness at all.

The people in the Leng Palace only work in the Leng Palace, it’s not that they can’t go to other places. Besides, in the entire harem, there are almost no secrets between the people in the palace. The situation like Jiuhua Palace’s unanimously keeping secrets from the outside world can be regarded as the only one. .Palace people get together to exchange what they know, whoever speaks more and more is more popular.

It's no secret that nobleman Cao treated the palace people harshly. Another point is that all the maids in her Fengzao Palace are average in appearance. Although they can be seen, none of them are very beautiful.

Being a court lady is not something anyone can do if they want to. People outside send their daughters to the palace, and the palace also has to screen them. They must be dignified and decent in appearance.Those who are assigned to serve the ladies in the harem are all top performers, with relatively high-quality looks, especially those who are assigned to the concubines, who can work in the inner palace and be close to the ladies, all of them are the most beautiful.

There are so many beauties in the empress's palace, and anyone who picks one up will have a picturesque look.There are not as many beauties in the other favorite concubine palaces as there are in the queen's palace, but there are also one or two, most of them are close to the empress, good-looking and pleasing to the eye, right?

But in Fengzao Palace, there is not a single one.

If it was impossible for the Inner Court Secretary to pick good ones for other palaces, they would pick mediocre ones for Fengzao Palace, and they didn't dare to treat Concubine Cao so differently with her temper.In the past, there were beautiful maids in Fengzao Palace, but these good-looking ladies could not stay in Fengzao Palace for long, and disappeared every now and then.

Later, for some reason, the Secretary of the Inner Court stopped sending beautiful maids to Fengzao Palace, and Concubine Cao had no objection.

But in fact, those beautiful court ladies are not missing.In the high-walled inner courtyard of the imperial palace, where can those helpless maids disappear?The truth is that Concubine Cao is jealous of these beautiful court ladies, jealous that they are younger and more beautiful than herself!Every time Emperor Jing came to her place, if he looked at a maid a few more times, after Emperor Jing left, Concubine Cao would ask the palace servants to deal with the maid.

There is a small area overgrown with weeds in the backyard of Fengzao Palace, Concubine Cao never let people take care of it.There is an abandoned deep well over there, where all the maids who have been "disposed of" are located.

Shu Manhua didn't expect this woman to be vicious to such an extent. Just because other women are prettier than him, Emperor Jing took a few more glances, and she was about to kill her and throw her into the well. Could it be that she Still want to kill all the women who are prettier than her in the whole world?It is estimated that she killed some of them.

After knowing this situation, Shu Manhua didn't think about helping this woman anymore. She killed so many people, it was not enough to die.

pity.

But from this point of view, it can also be seen that Concubine Cao is just bluffing on the face, and in terms of real means, she can't compare with Empress Zongzheng!

Why did Empress Zongzheng put so many beauties in the palace?Didn't she know that every time Emperor Jing came to her palace, he would look at those young and beautiful girls?Of course she knew, and she did it on purpose.

Women in the harem do not have long-lasting favors. Even if they have astonishing beauty, not to mention that the years make people old, they will also have aesthetic fatigue.Empress Zongzheng knew this very well, so she spared no effort to fill her palace with beauties, just to attract Emperor Jing to come to her palace more.She has nothing to worry about, these maids are from humble backgrounds, even if Emperor Jing really likes someone who wants to be happy, as long as the time is taken care of, they will not pose any threat to her.

Empress Zongzheng is indeed a very unusual woman. She loves Emperor Jing in her heart, but in order to consolidate her rights and position in Emperor Jing's heart, she can afford to poke her heart with a knife. some.

As for Concubine Cao, a powerful imperial physician found a solution to bee venom from some rare medical books in the market, but because of the long delay, although he could save his life, his face was completely destroyed , it is impossible to fix.

No one can bear to look at the bumpy appearance.

Emperor Jing was really sad when he learned that Concubine Cao Guifei would always look like this in the future, and that her former beauty and beauty no longer existed. After all, she was the concubine he had loved for so long.

But it only took a few days to be sad. There were still many concubines he loved in the harem. Without Concubine Cao, there would be Concubine Li Hui, Concubine Liu Xian, Concubine Yuan Shu, and Concubine Zhao De.Although no one has the beauty of the imperial concubine for a while, the four concubines share the beauty equally, and Emperor Jing enjoys it very much

The one who benefited the most from this matter was Empress Zongzheng.Although Concubine Cao is still the title of noble concubine second only to the queen, but without the favor of Emperor Jing, this title is useless.And the four concubines Xian, Hui, Shu, and De are also respectful to her, at least on the surface, they are doing well, no one dares to be as straightforward as Concubine Cao.

Not to mention the concubines under them, they deserved their duty.For a while, the atmosphere in the harem was good, and the empresses of the various palaces

Getting along peacefully is a rare scene of harmony and harmony.

The relationship between Empress Zongzheng and Shumanhua became closer. Every time Emperor Jing came to Changle Palace, Empress Zongzheng would send someone to Jiuhua Palace to find Shumanhua, and the "family of three" had dinner together.
