Lily Palace.
"Crack, crack..."
As Yu Xiaoqiao entered the room, several porcelain bottles fell at her feet with a series of "pop" sounds.
Eunuch Li said with embarrassment, "The queen is probably still angry, please don't be offended, just be careful."
"Get out! Get out of here..."
A noisy sound mixed with insults came from inside the house.
Yu Xiaoqiao's heart trembled, her face tensed, and she thought: Are all the ladies in the palace so rude and impolite?
When I entered the house, the floor was a mess.
The palace maids and eunuchs were kneeling on the ground, which was littered with scattered bottles, jars, clothes, flowers, and many broken porcelain pieces.
Yu Xiaoqiao found a place with less debris and knelt down.
Imperial Concubine Rong's face was swollen and full of red pimples, and her eyes were red. It was obvious that she had just cried. "Look, what a piece of crap you made. You ruined my beautiful face like this!"
As he said that, he threw the Zirongtang product at Yu Xiaoqiao. As luck would have it, the broken bottle hit Yu Xiaoqiao's forehead, and blood immediately gushed out.
There was a hint of uneasiness in Concubine Rong's eyes, and she said in a slightly softer tone, "Get her a handkerchief."
Yu Xiaoqiao looked calm, her eyes fixed on the ground, and she knelt as before. She took the handkerchief handed to her by the maid and wiped the blood off her forehead.
At this time, Lao Mu put on an invisibility cloak, used his dog paws to turn over the bottles and jars that had fallen in the corner, and inserted his dog nose into the open bottle, sniffing again and again.
Yu Xiaoqiao glanced at the bottle shaking in the corner, the corners of her mouth tightened slightly, and she thought to herself: Fortunately it is in the corner and no one noticed it, otherwise the bottle shaking slightly in the air would scare a few people.
"Tell me, how come my face looks like this after using your skin care products? I'm so mad! Even killing you won't make me feel better!" Imperial Concubine Rong's face turned pale and her eyes were wide open with anger.
Yu Xiaoqiao looked at her red, swollen, and blue face and suddenly found it funny. She almost couldn't control her laughter. Then she adjusted her expression and begged sincerely.
"Your Majesty, may I examine your face and the skin care products you use?"
Yu Xiaoqiao calmly checked each bottle and jar, and deliberately put the bottles on the ground to make it easier for Lao Mu to check.
Yu Xiaoqiao carefully examined Concubine Rong's face again. Although she was not a doctor and could not be called a beauty expert, she did have some understanding and research on general skin problems.
Lao Mu had checked all the skin care products and naturally saw Concubine Rong's face. He whispered his analysis and judgment into Yu Xiaoqiao's ear.
"Madam, the skin care products you use are not from our Zirongtang..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Concubine Rong.
"What? It's not from your Zirong Hall, what nonsense."
Yu Xiaoqiao knelt down again, with a calm face, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, I have no such intention. I will report it in detail."
"Look, these are from Zirongtang, and the bottom of the bottles have special marks. Your set of bottles doesn't have that." Yu Xiaoqiao handed the two bottles to the palace maid and explained softly.
Imperial Concubine Rong looked closely at the bottoms of the two bottles against the light, and said with a confused look on her face.
"I clearly sent someone to buy this from Zirong Hall. Before, I used the set your second concubine gave me. When it was almost gone, I sent someone to buy another set. Who would have thought that after only using it twice, my face would be like this."
"My queen, who did you send? Can we talk to him?" Yu Xiaoqiao said softly.
"Little Dengzi, come in!" Concubine Rong shouted loudly.
A young eunuch with delicate features knelt on the ground trembling with fear.
After learning more about it, Yu Xiaoqiao speculated, "Madam, the problem may be caused by the chaos that Eunuch Deng encountered after leaving the store. I will go back and find out the truth and give you an explanation."
"We must investigate thoroughly! We must find out who is so bold as to steal my things. We must skin him alive."
Concubine Rong believed Yu Xiaoqiao's speculation and spoke without any hostility.
But, I don’t know whether to just change one or?
Is it aimed at Concubine Rong, or at her?
Are there any problems with other products?
Yu Xiaoqiao frowned, thinking through all the possibilities in his mind.
"My queen, your skin condition is caused by using fake products. It looks serious, but it is not difficult to treat. I will first apply a desensitizing mask on you to eliminate the redness and swelling on your face." Yu Xiaoqiao calmed down a little and explained in a soft voice.
Half an hour later, after removing the mask, Concubine Rong saw that the redness and swelling on her face had indeed subsided a little, and she felt much better.
Yu Xiaoqiao wrote down the prescription according to what Lao Mu whispered to her, and spoke patiently.
"Your Highness, this is a mask and skin care product for facial allergies, as well as a prescription. It will take about ten days. If you are worried, you can ask the imperial physician to check. I will be there at your beck and call if there is any problem."
It was almost evening when Yu Xiaoqiao returned to the prime minister's residence.
She dragged her tired body back to the room and found the second wife, the third wife, Yu Chuwan and Yu Chuxiao were all there.
When they saw Yu Xiaoqiao coming back, they all gathered around and asked about the situation.
"Sister, your forehead is broken!"
"What's wrong with Concubine Rong's face? Is it related to our skin care products?"
"Zirong Hall, will it be closed down?"
"Let Qiao'er drink some water and sit down to rest for a while. Lan'er, heat up the food left for the young lady and bring it over. Qing'er, quickly ask the court doctor to come and take a look at the wound on the young lady's forehead." The second wife made thoughtful arrangements.
"Someone deliberately created chaos outside the store and swapped goods. I wonder if it was aimed at Concubine Rong and only her goods were swapped, or were other goods also swapped? Second Aunt, please send someone reliable to investigate carefully." Yu Xiaoqiao said with a tired look on her face.
The third wife looked serious and asked, "How is Concubine Rong? Does she believe that someone deliberately switched the items? Will she close our store?"
Yu Xiaoqiao held Third Madam's hand and comforted her softly, "Third Madam, don't worry. I have left medicine and skin care products for Imperial Concubine Rong. She will recover within ten days. It's okay."
"Oh, that's good. Don't laugh at me, I'm timid." The third wife's expression was not as solemn as before, and she smiled awkwardly.
"Just talk about what happens. There's nothing to be afraid of!" The second wife looked at the third wife with a serious expression and said solemnly.
Yu Xiaoqiao looked at the Second Wife. She did not expect that she had such courage and responsibility. She gradually felt admiration and appreciation for her.
"Sister, what's wrong with your forehead? Did Empress Rong hurt you? Let me blow on it for you."
Yu Chuxiao looked at Yu Xiaoqiao with a worried look on his face, and imitated what the Third Madam had done before, and touched her wound.
Yu Xiaoqiao hugged him in her arms, thinking that she had traveled through thousands of years to enjoy such warmth. Her nose was sour and she said, "Sister, it doesn't hurt. Thank you, Chu Xiao."
"Sister, the Liu family doctors are very skilled. Don't worry, the wound will not leave scars." Yu Chuwan gently brushed away the hair on her forehead, carefully examined the wound, and said softly.
The girl was considerate after all, and Yu Xiaoqiao smiled at Yu Chuwan.
Not long after, the court physician, Doctor Liu, came in carrying a medicine box, cleaned the wound and applied medicine, exaggeratedly wrapped a circle of cotton gauze around her head, and repeatedly told her to rest well before leaving.
"Qiao'er, now that the matter has been resolved and you are tired, eat something and rest early. Let's go back first."
There was a kind light in the second wife's eyes, which made Yu Xiaoqiao feel a little dazed, as if she saw her mother.
Yu Chuwan and Yu Chuxiao insisted on staying and eating with Yu Xiaoqiao before leaving.
It was a long time after everyone left that Yu Xiaoqiao finally remembered Lao Mu.
After taking off the invisibility cloak, Lao Mu cried for a long time, sighed deeply, and cursed angrily.
"Humph, you just remembered me! You woman, you are too unreliable. It's been four hours. If it's any later, I will really become a ghost! And a starving ghost! Not to mention going back to see the beautiful girl, I can't even eat the wine and meat here!"
