The Cold-blooded Emperor's Vengeful Concubine

Chapter 22 The Emperor's Inquiry

"Tell me, what's going on?" Baili Haoxuan, who was sitting on the phoenix couch, stared at Yun Jingman who was kneeling on the ground with his blue eyes without blinking. He glanced at the concubines and palace maids on the ground, and finally his eyes fell on Yun Jingman.

"Your Majesty, look at my hands, they are red and swollen from the burns! It hurts so much." Zhao Mengdie's clothes were disheveled, her hair was messy, her face was red with anger, she pinched her throat, tears were welling up in her eyes, she looked pitiful, and openly acted coquettishly towards Baili Haoxuan.

"Oh? Where are you burned, my beloved?" An evil smile appeared on his lips, and he spoke ambiguous and gentle words, but his blue eyes were always looking at Yun Jingman, who had been silent and lowered his head since he entered the door, neither humble nor arrogant.

When Zhao Mengdie heard Baili Haoxuan's intoxicating voice, her heart suddenly softened, her mood was agitated, and a shy look appeared on her face. She lifted the hem of her skirt, knelt down, and jumped away. "Dong dong dong", she walked to the front of the hall like a willow swaying in the wind, and came to Baili Haoxuan's side.

She raised her swollen hands, placed them in front of Baili Haoxuan, crossed her legs, and said in a charming voice: "Your Majesty, look, look, my hands have been burned like this by that lowly maid. Didn't Your Majesty say that my piano playing is beautiful? From now on, I can no longer play the piano for Your Majesty."

As soon as she finished speaking, the tears that had been swirling in her eyes suddenly burst out. Her body moved closer and closer, and finally rubbed into Baili Haoxuan's arms, and her little hands restlessly wrapped around Baili Haoxuan's strong waist.

Anyone who saw her crying like a pear blossom in the rain would feel pity for her. Baili Haoxuan's blue eyes flashed with a trace of disgust for the person who suddenly ran into his arms, but it quickly disappeared in his eyes.

Baili Haoxuan had an evil smile on his face, and his blue eyes kept looking at Yun Jingman, trying to see something different through her face. He patted Zhao Mengdie's back with both hands and said softly, "My beloved, stand up and talk to me."

Zhao Mengdie stood up delicately, Baili Haoxuan grabbed Zhao Mengdie's hand and pulled her over, and with a spin, Zhao Mengdie was sitting on Baili Haoxuan's thighs.

"Your Majesty..." She looked at Baili Haoxuan with seductive eyes and called him in a coquettish voice. Her body leaned softly in Baili Haoxuan's arms.

"Why not, let the Queen tell us what happened. Why was my beloved concubine's hand burned like this?" Baili Haoxuan asked casually, his blue eyes not missing the expression on Yun Jingman's face.

"Your Majesty..." Zhao Mengdie glared at Yun Jingman with her sharp eyes, then acted coquettishly and said to Baili Haoxuan in a tender voice.

"My beloved. Let the Queen speak." The blue eyes glanced at Zhao Mengdie slightly. Just one look was enough to make Zhao Mengdie shut her mouth obediently.

Zhao Mengdie could understand the strong warning in his eyes. When the sun rises in the morning and the rain falls in the evening, thunder and dew are all graces from God. When grace is bestowed upon you, you can be unbridled, but when thunder strikes, you should bear it.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to apologize to Concubine Die on behalf of my maid Ning'er for scalding her. Now is the time to summon the imperial physician to cure Concubine Die, not the time to dwell on how the incident happened." Yun Jingman bowed his head respectfully and said what he wanted to say with a calm face.

As early as when she went down the palace to see Zhao Mengdie's hand, she had already wanted to summon the imperial physician, but what happened made her so angry that she forgot about it. Now that she has calmed down, she still feels that treatment is the most important thing. She, Yun Jingman, will never escape the punishment she deserves, and don't expect her to accept it if it is false.

"Your Majesty, I have lost feeling in my hands. Even if I call the imperial physician, it's no use. I'm afraid I'll be crippled." Zhao Mengdie said in tears.

"Ning'er, go and call the imperial physician, and then go to the imperial kitchen to get some soy sauce and ice." Yun Jingman knew that the most important thing now was to take care of the burns, relieve her pain, and then wait for the imperial physician to diagnose and cure it.

"Yes." Ning Er was stunned for a moment, but after hearing Yun Jingman's order, she stood up and left, heading towards the imperial kitchen...

Baili Haoxuan looked at Yun Jingman with a playful look on his face. What kind of unexpected things would this chess piece bring him? He was looking forward to... "Your Majesty, let me do some emergency work for Concubine Die first." Yun Jingman said respectfully when she saw Ning'er bring back the soy sauce and ice cubes.

"Yeah." Baili Haoxuan snorted in response and nodded.

With Baili Haoxuan's approval, Yun Jingman took the soy sauce and ice cubes that Ning'er brought from the imperial kitchen, walked quickly to the hall, glanced at Baili Haoxuan, then quickly turned away, suppressing the slight strangeness in her heart. Baili Haoxuan did not miss the slight strangeness in her eyes, and the charm at the corner of his mouth became more and more intense.

"Princess Die, please stretch out your hands and let me heal you." Yun Jingman said to Zhao Mengdie, who was lying in Baili Haoxuan's arms, in a businesslike tone. He dared not look sideways.

"I don't want it. What is that? Soy sauce? That's ridiculous. I have never heard that soy sauce can treat burns. I dare not trouble the Queen. Your Majesty..." Zhao Mengdie glanced at the thick black soy sauce on Yun Jingman's hand with disgust, and then rubbed against Baili Haoxuan's arms again, and said coquettishly, the numb voice made people feel numb.

"My dear, why not give it a try?" Baili Haoxuan said calmly. He just wanted to know what tricks he had. Whether it could surprise him again was the only thing he cared about. He didn't care about anything else.

Even if the price was to break the hand of the woman on him, he didn't care. She was just a plaything, Baili Haoxuan had never cared about it.

"But, Your Majesty..."

"Hmm?" Baili Haoxuan raised his voice slightly.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Queen." Zhao Mengdie felt the strength on her waist and Baili Haoxuan's warning snort, and she softened her voice and offered her hands obediently. She hated Yun Jingman even more in her heart.

Yun Jingman poured soy sauce on Zhao Mengdie's hands, gently spread the soy sauce with his fingertips, and slowly massaged the back of her hands. After a quarter of an hour, he wiped off the soy sauce with a cloth. He dipped Zhao Mengdie's hands into a bowl filled with ice cubes.

"This method can only treat burns urgently and relieve pain. To truly cure it, we have to wait for the imperial physician to diagnose and prescribe medicine." Yun Jingman said to Zhao Mengdie indifferently.

"My beloved, can you relieve the pain?" Baili Haoxuan asked coldly.

"Your Majesty, it does...it does relieve the pain." Zhao Mengdie had to admit that this method was indeed good. Her hands, which had been painful just now, felt much more comfortable now, but she still resented Yun Jingman in her heart.

Yun Jingman stepped down from the hall, lifted her skirt, lowered her head and continued to kneel on the ground.

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician has arrived." The young eunuch announced.

"pass."

The imperial physician carried his medicine box on his back, looked at the people kneeling on the ground, then raised his eyes to look at the emperor and Concubine Die, and his body trembled involuntarily. He knelt on the ground respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, long live the emperor."

"Get up. Come and treat Concubine Die." Baili Haoxuan said in a calm voice.

The imperial physician came to the palace, felt the patient's pulse, stroked his beard, and made a serious diagnosis. He then said, "Your Majesty, please let me take a look at your hand."

Zhao Mengdie took her hand out of the ice and reached out.

The imperial physician took a look and smiled, "Fortunately, your Majesty treated it in time. Just take some medicine to completely eliminate the pain. May I ask how your Majesty treated it?"

"You should ask the Queen Mother about this." Zhao Mengdie curled her lips and said reluctantly.

The imperial physician came down from the palace and bowed to Yun Jingman, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "May I ask how the queen treated it? How could it relieve the burn?" As a doctor, when he encountered a new treatment method, he was of course eager to learn and ask questions. He didn't care about the tense atmosphere in the palace at this time.

"Soy sauce. Soy sauce can temporarily relieve the pain of burns, and ice can restore sensation in your hands." Yun Jing replied in a calm voice.

"It is indeed a good method. May I ask where did Your Majesty learn this method from?" After hearing this, the imperial physician suddenly understood and asked further questions.

"It's just a small folk remedy. It only treats the symptoms, not the root cause." Yun Jingman avoided the main point and answered casually. She didn't want to tell this ancient person that this was a method that everyone in their 21st century knew, and she couldn't explain it.

Seeing that the queen was evasive, the imperial physician did not force her. He wrote down the prescription, explained a few things, and left in a hurry with the medicine box on his back. He could feel the tense atmosphere in Fengsheng Palace. Baili Haoxuan was once again impressed by this chess piece. He said calmly that it was just a small folk remedy, but the imperial physician came to ask for advice. Baili Haoxuan never kept useless people in the palace. If there was no real talent or knowledge, he would definitely get rid of it. Therefore, he was very clear about the ability of his imperial physician, and he was also convinced that the people under his command were definitely not losers.

Even such a capable imperial physician came to ask for advice, so this chess piece must have some intelligence. In just a few days, he continued to do things that were beyond his expectations.

Chess piece, ah, how should I make my move?

Baili Haoxuan didn't know yet that he had already regarded this chess piece as his own...
